【Chapter 72】Crossing the Ice Sea Again
Although the arrival time was dismarked, Wang Xiaotie once again survived the legendary sea of ice unharmed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This can really be regarded as burning high incense, plus green smoke rising from the ancestral grave.
However, it is not too early to reach the shore, and the sun is about to sink into the sea.
The raft was stranded in shallow water, and Wang Xiaotie didn't bother to waste any more effort and dragged the raft ashore. However, in order to prevent the hero who carried himself twice from floating into the sea, Wang Xiaotie still used the straw rope left behind to tie the raft to the tree on the shore.
Everyone took off their shoes and socks, stepped into the bone-cold waters, and walked back to land.
Wang Xiaotie put everything on the snow, put on his shoes and socks, picked up the mountain knife, and hurriedly rushed to the limited number of large larches in his sight.
While there was still light, Wang Xiaotie had to hurry up and collect some wood that could be burned. Of course, it was too late to search for dry firewood all over the mountains, so Wang Xiaotie could only hit the idea on the pine bark with pine resin.
Even if this thing is not easy to ignite, as long as it burns, it is definitely better than dry firewood.
It's unrealistic to want to go back to the camp you built tonight. The distance from here to the camp is not burdensome, and Wang Xiaotie has to walk for half a day.
In the dark night, trekking in the wilderness until the early hours of the morning is equivalent to looking for death.
Fortunately, it was by the sea, and Wang Xiaotie also knew that there was a place to spend the night. It was a narrow cave.
Maybe it's just enough to squeeze 4 people, but if you want to sleep comfortably, you can't think about it.
"Okay~ It's so cold~ My feet~ My feet are going to freeze~ Frozen!" Wang Xiaotie, who was peeling the bark with a mountain opening knife, heard Diana's trembling voice in his ears.
"After putting on your shoes and socks, walk back and forth, don't stop, move your toes as you go, until you don't feel cold!" Wang Xiaotie immediately reprimanded, this couldn't help but make Wang Xiaotie a little angry, at this time, the three women were all sitting on the package, motionless.
It's just soaked in bone-cold water, do they want to amputate their limbs?
Even Wang Xiaotie, while working, kept moving his toes. This is not a joke, the nerve endings of the human body will always not be taken care of in the most thorough.
When the body feels unwell, it will voluntarily abandon these trivial matters and do its best to protect the most important parts of the human body, such as the heart.
At this time, if you follow the rhythm of your body, the only result is to lose the so-called side details. For example, fingers and toes, that are really not far from amputation.
Seeing that the three women were obediently standing up and moving, Wang Xiaotie continued to collect firewood with peace of mind.
It wasn't until night really fell that Wang Xiaotie stopped working and returned to the three women.
A parachute face was taken out to wrap the bark. Then Wang Xiaotie took out another rope, which was the rope of the parachute collected from the helicopter, but it was cut by Robert Sawyer and them, but Wang Xiaotie was like a treasure, and even the rope that bound Laura and them was collected together.
"Come, everyone, hold on to this rope, and let no one go! If you encounter any danger, shout immediately! Gwendoline, you walk at the end, watch them both don't fall behind! ”
Although the cave was not too far away, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Coupled with the fact that this place is close to the sea, Wang Xiaotie has to be careful.
Carrying a large bag of bark, Wang Xiaotie held the front end of the rope and began to walk towards the cave in his memory.
Without torches and lighting, you dare to walk in the dark snow, which is also a kind of life.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaotie roughly remembered that there were no dangerous sections here except for a few small trees and a sea of ice on the left.
Beneath the thick snow is the real land, the land with soil. The Iceland where Wang Xiaotie was a day ago was very different.
Iceland is actually a large chunk of ice floes, as big as a piece of land, and most of the entire Arctic is like this.
Humans can't live without the soil, and neither can plants! So apart from a very small number of animals, the Arctic has no resources to survive at all.
When Wang Xiaotie touched the rock with his oars, his mood immediately relaxed.
He remembered very well that there was only a hill that didn't look majestic, and the cave was on the left side of the mountain.
In the midst of the bumps, Wang Xiaotie finally found the small cave.
In Wang Xiaotie's prediction, even if he couldn't see the road, according to the route in his memory, it would take more than 10 minutes at most to walk.
I didn't think about it, but this search took more than 1 hour. to find the right place. It is conceivable how many wrongful paths have been taken during this period.
The cave is really small, and the shelter built by Wang Xiaotie himself, although it is only more than 1 meter wide, is tall and deep.
However, this cave is a standard irregular circular cave, and its diameter is not even one meter at all. Fortunately, the depth is about two meters, and it should be difficult to squeeze 4 people away.
"Wait, I'll climb in and raise the fire! Laura, give me the reindeer skull. ”
Wang Xiaotie put the package on his body at the entrance of the cave, took the fire handed over by Laura, and climbed into the cave with a few pieces of pine bark.
Wang Xiaotie planted the fire in the innermost part of the cave, so that the temperature would gradually spread from the inside to the entrance of the cave, and the heat would be lost slowly.
Because of the limited space, it was impossible for the four of them to gather around the fire to keep warm, so Wang Xiaotie could only retreat and raise the temperature of the place where they were going to rest tonight a little.
After the flames rose, Wang Xiaotie lit a fire not far from the entrance of the cave again, "Come on, everyone come and roast your hands and feet, the smell in the cave is too big, let's go in and rest later." ”
"Huh? See that arctic fox? The firelight illuminated the distance, and Diana looked around curiously, but did not find the little fox that had been thinking about it for a long time.
Everyone shook their heads, Wang Xiaotie carried the little thing to the shore, but in the dark night, everyone didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the little guy.
"It's okay, don't worry about it, after all, this is where it lives." Wang Xiaotie didn't worry too much about Xiao Bu'er, before Wang Xiaotie's group of people didn't come to this world, Xiao Bu'er grew up in this place, if you want to say familiar, it is estimated that no one present is as good as Xiao Bu'er.
"I'm a little hungry!" Diana sat by the fire, and although the light of the fire warmed her little hands, it could not stop her little rumbling belly.
Looking at Diana's aggrieved appearance, Wang Xiaotie seemed to be a little unbearable, to be honest, who was not hungry among the few people present? Except for the little food in the morning, I haven't eaten until now.
