I suddenly realized that I had been so absorbed in studying these materials that I had unconsciously forgotten the time. By this time, the private jet had already reached the vicinity of the Antarctic Circle.

There are airstrips near the Antarctic Circle, and private jets land on them after obtaining a temporary landing permit. When I got off the plane, the girl in military uniform handed me a bulging backpack containing my personal belongings and equipment provided by the Special Crime Division.

She told me that in half an hour, a research ship belonging to Japan would enter Antarctica. The boarding permit is in the backpack.

But at the same time, the girl in the military uniform also told me that from now on, my mission has officially begun. During the mission, in order to make me behave like a normal ice seeker, the Special Crimes Division will refuse all assistance and contact with me, and unless I successfully find the ice grave, I can find a way to contact them.

I nodded solemnly, indicating that I knew. Then the girl in military uniform smiled at me and said, "Good luck, Mr. Yu Buren." ”

The name of this airport is Selmond Airport, and it was built by the Americans in the fifties. Originally, it was a military base, with an airfield and a seaside port, designed to compete with the Soviets. After the end of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony, this military base lost its original significance.

After the Americans evacuated, this military base was abandoned for more than ten years, and later, I don't know what happened, it was packaged to a private consortium as a profit. At that time, countries around the world rushed to enter Antarctica, and the nearest airport and port near Antarctica became a turning point for people and goods here.

The private consortium that contracts here makes a lot of money for this, and as long as ships and planes dock here, they charge a large amount of forwarding freight.

Until now, there are even tour groups that spend a lot of money to dock their ships at this port and then let travelers experience the scenery of Antarctica.

The ship I'm going to board is a Japanese scientific research ship, and I'm a geographer to the outside world. After I got off the plane, I struggled through the harbor to find a battered diesel-powered ship, where the sailors in heavy leather suits were washing the deck with seawater.

The most important thing is that most of the faces of the sailors on the scientific research ships belonging to Japan are European and American, and only a few Asian faces are still staring at each other, full of grim looks.

The ship doesn't look like a scientific research ship in any way, but rather a whaling ship under the guise of a scientific research ship. Such a ship is illegal internationally, and when it is in port, it may be honest, and once it is in the sea, it is simply no different from a pirate.

People on this kind of boat are very snobbish and do whatever they want to make money. Recently, there has been a strong international crackdown on whaling ships, so they have turned into some business that is on the edge of the law.

They specialize in accepting people who have no permit, no documents, to enter the continent of Antarctica. These include private photographers, prospectors, fugitives, travelers, and even poachers who come to the Antarctic continent to catch rare animals.

These people will never be eligible to enter Antarctica if they follow the regular route. So these guys saw the opportunity and charged a hefty fee to take them into Antarctica from their own route.

The boarding ticket was a shoddy card, a bit like a bank card, but with a rough shape and scribbled handwriting. Fortunately, the technical level is not bad, those who have paid can go up as long as they swipe the card, and those who have not paid will not be able to enter even if they hold the card, but will be taken out and beaten by the big-spending sailors.

Then he threw it ashore like a dead dog.

The girl in military uniform estimated that she had already contacted the whaling ship, so there was no problem at all in terms of cost. As soon as I swiped my card to board the ship, I was taken into the cabin by a strong man wearing a bearskin hat.

The cabin was originally used for fish, but it was later remodeled and became a place for people to live. How good can a place for warehouse conversion be? There was no heating, no hot water, not even a bed.

Only the heavily dressed men with a wary look in their eyes gathered together in twos and threes, and roughly calculated, there were probably forty or fifty of them.

The bearskin hat gestured casually to me and gestured that I could sit casually. I chose a corner to sit on the floor, only to feel that it was colder inside the cabin than outside.

If it weren't for the protective clothing provided by the Special Crime Department, I would have shivered with cold.

The bearskin hat urn said angrily: "I'll tell you the rules here, don't look at the money you all paid, but if anyone violates the rules, don't blame Lao Tzu for throwing you into the sea!" ”

He looked around at the crowd and found that they were all bowing their heads and not speaking, so he was very satisfied. He said: "I don't have many rules, that is, I must obey Lao Tzu's orders at sea!" I don't care where you come from or what you're doing in Antarctica, if you want to go there, you have to take Lao Tzu's boat. If anyone dares to contradict Lao Tzu on the boat, there is no need to say, there is one to throw one! ”

The bearskin hat flaunted his might, then spat and prepared to return to the deck. Suddenly, someone in the darkness said weakly, "Big brother, hey! Eldest brother! Can you make it easier? ”

The cabin was dimly lit, but I could see it clearly. The one who spoke was a little fat man in a down jacket, and he was carrying a bulky package, and looking at the wheels of the package, it should be photographic equipment or something.

The bearskin hat turned his head and said, "What?" ”

The little fat man accompanied the smiling face: "Big brother, what, my girlfriend is a little uncomfortable, the air in this cabin is not well circulated, and it is really a little cold, can you make it convenient and give me a different place to live?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked over, and sure enough, they found a girl with a sallow face leaning weakly on the cabin, this girl was also carrying a camera bag by her side, and a bottle of mineral water frozen into ice cubes was placed next to her.

The bearskin hat glanced at it and said coldly, "Damn, really this is a charity?" Changing the fuck? Do you want to live in Lao Tzu's captain's room? ”

He scolded and said a few words, then turned around and walked away without looking back. Before leaving, he didn't forget to spit on the ground, fully expressing his disdain.

The fat young man touched a nail and returned to the cabin in a gray manner, he didn't dare to speak, picked up the ice lump on the ground, put it in his arms and began to cover it. But the girl woke up and said I'm okay.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this girl is burning badly, and if she freezes here again, she probably won't even be able to save her life.

The overhead cabin slammed shut, and at the same time, a whistle crept in, and then the ship trembled slightly, presumably leaving the harbor and preparing to rush to Antarctica.

This departure is even if it is impossible to turn back, even if it is death, it will die in Antarctica.

The lights were dim, and after a while, the sobbing sound of the fat young man could be heard, and he lowered his voice and told the girl that he should not be angry with the editor-in-chief, and came to Antarctica at his own expense to look for ice leopards.

After a while, he said that he wanted to talk to the boss of the ship, whether he could turn around and go back, after all, human life is at stake, and this is a big deal. But the sick girl kept persuading him not to go to the boat boss, as a girl with a strong sixth sense, she could see at a glance that this group of people was not a good stubble.

The fat young man cried when he said this, probably worried that the girl's high fever would not go away, and one life was left in Antarctica. Later, the crying voice was a little louder, and there was an urn sound in the cabin: "It's not my dead father!" Cry a fart! If you cry again, believe it or not, I'll slap you with my big mouth! ”

The fat young man had no experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know how dangerous this kind of place that the law could not control, he said: "I said, why are you like this? You're all boaters, and even if I cry, I can't get in your way. Why do you want to hit someone? ”

The voice of the urn said, "Not only will I beat people, but I will also kill people if I am in a hurry!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up from his position in the cabin, took two steps, and slapped it over, only to hear a crisp snap, and the fat young man who hit him had gold stars in his eyes, dizzy, and sat on the ground with a pop.

The fat young man didn't expect this person to be so fierce, not only did he say he would fight, but he also hit him so ruthlessly, half of his face was swollen after a slap. He was also carried away by the anger, and screamed: "I'll fight with you!" ”

Where does the beating Humpty Dumpty put a fat young man in his eyes? Hehe smiled, holding his fingers and about to rush over. I saw that this guy was really too deceitful, so I picked up a frozen mineral water bottle from the ground and smashed it directly.

I said, "It's all Chinese, you don't need to be so ruthless, right?" ”

There was only half a bottle of water left in the mineral water bottle, which was frozen like a lump of stone at low temperature, and when it hit his wrist, it was estimated that even his bones were injured. The Humpty Dumpty man who was hurting at that time screamed and said angrily: "Bastard! Who would dare to smash me? ”

I've been traveling from south to north for so many years, and I've never been afraid of this kind of guy who likes to bully people. Immediately, he slowly stood up and said, "Grandpa, I smashed it, what do you want?" ”

After all, I was an exorcist in the circle, and when I stood up, I had a kind of fierce momentum on my body. The short and fat man was also a discerning fellow, and although he saw that I was young, he knew that I was not easy to provoke. Especially for fear of angering me, he sat in the corner and didn't dare to say a word.

I casually threw a pack of facial tissues and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Originally, the fat young man wanted to cry with red eyes, but when I handed him a pack of facial tissues to wipe the bruises on his face, he couldn't hold back anymore, and he cried out with a wow.
