Chapter 37: The Miracle of Life

(The second shift at noon, ask for push!) Thank you for the tip! )

After walking for more than half a day, Cheng Fan stood on a hill with green moss and saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

On the earth, countless rats converged into a vast torrent, coming from the south, going north, encountering mountains and mountains, wading in water, as if never stopping, hurried to the north.

To be precise, these guys in incredible numbers are not rats, but Arctic lemmings!

They resemble voles, but they are fatter and larger than voles, and their coat color is not gray-black or brown like voles, but bright orange-red, and under the light of the evening sky, it seems that countless small flames are burning on the earth, converging into a long red river.

In the valleys, on the grasslands, and among the mountains, there are dense and surprising numbers of lemmings.

They are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of the darkness, and under the leadership of unknown people, they rush to the unknown ahead......

Cheng Fan remembers that when he was in school in his previous life, he learned an article that introduced that after lemmings multiplied in large numbers, they migrated on a large scale and ran to death en masse......

As for whether he really committed suicide by jumping into the sea, Cheng Fan didn't know, but at the moment, it seems that it is true that lemmings will migrate collectively on a large scale!

By this point, Cheng Fan had already understood why the Arctic Fox and the Arctic Wolf were approaching in this direction in recent days, it turned out that there was a feast opening here.

At the mouth of the valley and on the grassland, there are many predators, from arctic foxes to arctic wolves, as well as fat polar bears from afar, and there are many birds in the sky that Cheng Fan can't name.

At this time, the lemmings are almost crazy, they merge into a torrent, desperate to move forward, and even dare to attack the former natural predators!

Arctic foxes, arctic wolves, and polar bears are busy hunting and are safe with each other.

On weekdays, they don't get along well with each other, and even different Arctic wolves will quarrel over food and territory.

But at this moment, many predators were busy preying on the countless lemmings, and for a time they coexisted harmoniously with each other.

Sure enough, biological struggles mostly stem from the struggle for means of survival!

There was a loud roar in the sky, a kind of eagle-like eagle, stretching white wings, and Cheng Fan couldn't say the name, flying down from the sky, grabbing the ground with sharp claws, it was a fat lemming.

But that's just a drop in the ocean, there are so many lemmings here!

This year is a good year for lemmings to breed, and now is the season for lemmings to migrate, and it is also a feast that predators rarely encounter in a few years!

Cheng Fan stood on the hill and watched quietly, in addition to sighing at the miracle of natural creation, a strange idea suddenly popped up in his heart, if the Yugong family had such a vigorous reproductive ability as lemmings, they might not only be able to move away the Taihang and Wangwu mountains, but also the entire Andes Mountains (the longest mountain range in the world) could be moved away by the Yugong family.

Since it was not born as a treasure of heaven and earth, Cheng Fan was not interested in staying, he glanced at the compass on his wrist, ran down the hill, and prepared to continue his journey south.

Just before he ran away, he ran to the grassland and caught a few lemmings, asking for a taste of lemming's meat to add another species to the recipe of his world foodie tour!

Bidding farewell to the army of lemmings, Cheng Fan continued to travel south, the further south, the more prosperous the vitality became, from the time and place, the general scene is as follows:

When he first entered the northern part of Greenland, Cheng Fan saw endless glaciers and snowfields. The mountains are covered with snow, lakes and rivers are frozen, icebergs float on the surface of the sea, there is almost no green, and the animals are pitifully scarce.

Further south, the snow on the lakes and rivers begins to melt, and the rivers and streams formed by the snow overflow the wilderness, and the tundra beneath the snow begins to show its spring color, and the animals are more active, but many mountains and rivers are still covered with snow, and there are no forests or grasslands.

And when Cheng Fan's current location arrived, the grassland was lush enough, the green weeds grew all over the earth, the green waves were full of vitality, there were small flowers blooming all over the grass blades, shrubs were sprouting on the mountains and fields, small rivers and lakes were rippling blue waves, and with some blue sky and white clouds in the sky, this is a natural pure and beautiful world!

In the bush area at the junction of grassland and forest, Cheng Fan met another animal that lived in the Arctic.

This is a rabbit, very large, much larger than the average domestic rabbit, covered with white fur like snow, and when it lies motionless in the snow, if you don't look closely, you will think that it is an ordinary snowball standing there.

The scientific name of this rabbit is the Arctic Rabbit, and Cheng Fan didn't know this name, but he called the rabbit he encountered "Arctic Rabbit", which happened to match the human name for them.

The body color of the arctic rabbit is easily mixed with the environment and is difficult to distinguish.

When Cheng Fan first found them, he didn't recognize them from a distance, thinking that they were snowballs that had accumulated after the snow fell on the snowfield, so he didn't care about them, and was ready to go over and kick them.

However, when he was about to get closer, dozens of "snowballs" suddenly moved, pulled out his legs, ran wildly on the snow, and ran away in an instant.

Only then did he realize that this girl was actually a strange rabbit.

The Arctic Hare successfully piqued Cheng Fan's interest, and he spent several days wandering around the bush area, chasing rabbits, studying rabbits, and finally ...... Eat the rabbit.

The body of the arctic rabbit is not small, but because of their wide soles and thick hair, they are not only adapted to the cold snow, but also convenient to run and jump on the snow, and can effectively reduce the pressure on the soles of the feet, so that they have too much sinking problem when moving, so they are fast in the snow and have no scruples, but when Cheng Fan chased them, he almost fell into the ice hole several times and couldn't climb out.

The Arctic rabbit is a social animal, an Arctic rabbit group has dozens to hundreds of rabbits, if a rabbit group of Arctic rabbits lying together in the same place, you will see a lot of "snowballs" standing in the snow.

Based on this characteristic, Cheng Fan discovered the Arctic rabbit herd and then studied and preyed on them.

Passing through the bush area, farther away, a boreal forest began to appear, and although the species of trees in the forest were scarce, they could already be called forests.

The trees in the forest are not lush, there are more animals in the forest than in other places in Greenland, the sun shines through the treetops, although there is no feeling of warmth, but it is pure and clean, without a trace of variegation, this atmosphere makes Cheng Fan feel very comfortable.

Pure and pure, natural beauty!

Birds chirp in the forest, and occasionally squirrels with unknown scientific names jump on the branches, and how these little creatures survive in this harsh place, and thrive here.

The arctic wolf haunts the forest, lurking in the woods, taking cover by the colors of the jungle.

There is snow in the forest, but the leaves of grass grow out of the snow, and the green leaves dye the snow, giving people a unique beauty.

Of course, the further south you go, the more traces of human activity become, and sometimes you can see abandoned huts in the wild.

Walking here, Cheng Fan was faced with a choice, should he continue south into the ocean, or go east or west, and enter the ocean from there?

Entering the ocean south is undoubtedly the best shortcut to the south, but the southern human activities are frequent, and the possibility of encountering humans has also greatly increased, although there are few people living in Greenland, and it is unlikely that there are weapons on the island that threaten him, but he does not want to appear in the human world with such a swagger.

Cheng Fan eventually chose to head east, preparing to enter the Atlantic Ocean from the coast there.

Without saying anything all the way, Cheng Fan ran for a few days, and the cold wind blowing from the east carried the fishy smell of the sea.

He stood on a hill and watched from afar, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

Not far away, the sea and the sky meet, the sky is endless, the sea is endless, and you can't see the end of the intersection of these two planes at a glance.

On the side of the beach, there are strange-shaped reefs standing bare, and the waves wash the shore one after another, and gently break into a white foam on the reef.

Not far from the beach, hardy vegetation grows on the ground, and now in summer, green grass grows luxuriantly, and the beach is covered with patches of greenery, and with the blue sky and white waves, it gives people a sense of pure tranquility.

There are many small flowers growing in the meadow, either purple or yellow, like a dot of stars dotted in the green ocean, with the cold wind blowing from the ocean, although trembling and shaking, but standing tall, life is so unyielding!

"Huh?"

Cheng Fan suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widened, as if he had found something extremely interesting?

He ran quickly down the hill toward the side of the coast, where a behemoth lay across the sand.

When he got closer, he found that it was a whale, the specific name, Cheng Fan couldn't call it, anyway, it was definitely not a killer whale and a beluga whale!

The whale is more than ten meters long, stranded on the beach, although it is not dead, but it is also dying, and only when the waves rush up, the huge whale tail will beat weakly.

Unfortunately, there was so little water rushing up that it couldn't get it back into the sea.

The whale whined incessantly, as if it was crying for help, or like a poor child crying helplessly.

If it hadn't been encountered by Cheng Fan, I'm afraid it wouldn't have survived for long.

The stranded whale opened its eyes weakly as the strange monster in front of it swirled around its body.

The monster had a curious glint in its eyes, sometimes poking its body with its claws, sometimes pulling its fins, or running up to its back to study its nostrils, and even the strange creature tried to turn it over to study its physiology......

If it could speak, it would have screamed, "Help, there are hooligans, there are beasts and whales!" ”

Cheng Fan circled around the whale a few times, briefly studied the body structure of the whale, and showed a trace of regret on his face, he couldn't turn the whale over and look at its ****, so he couldn't judge whether the whale was male or female.

After all, this guy was a man in his previous life, not a biologist, and he had never specialized in cetaceans, so it is difficult to judge whether a whale is male or female from its appearance, so the best way is of course to watch the whale's little dingding!

Isn't it said that whales are mammals? Then you must have a "big weapon"!

This method is simple and straightforward, it is a bit like eating whale tofu and playing hooligan.

I have to say that Cheng Fan is full of bad taste, he wants to know how big is the ** official of a behemoth like a whale, one meter? Or two meters? How is it compared to a blackboy with black skin?

After studying for a while, Cheng Fan stood there, facing the whale, touching his chin and thinking about a serious question, should he kill this unlucky whale and eat meat, or should he be a good beast and let the whale return to the sea?

The whale's eyes were fixed on him, and his mouth kept letting out a low, pitiful whimper, and he didn't know that the creature in front of him was wondering if he was going to slaughter it for meat.
