Chapter 60 Maps

An hour later, the snow had been buried to the hood, and looking at the car with half of its body sunk into the snow, Huang Haiyang knew in his heart that the exhaust pipe should have been submerged in snow at this moment.

See, in a little while, the polar rover may stop in the snow, and once that happens, he will be trapped here.

A choice must be made!

Do you take a gamble and see if the weather clears up before the car is completely buried, or do you leave the car immediately and brave a snowstorm to get to a shelter 2 kilometers away?

These two schemes, no matter which one they are, are fighting for their lives with the sky, and they will die for a lifetime!

Gritting his teeth, Huang Haiyang still decided to fight! You can't put your life in God's hands! If that were the case, I would have died 3 years earlier!

After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated, Huang Haiyang took a deep breath to calm himself, and then checked his equipment again, ready to leave here! About 2 kilometers away, less than 3 kilometers away, there should be a shelter in the Bald Eagle Country!

In Antarctica, all countries will set up several such shelters near the research station, and store fuel, generators, food and other daily necessities in them all year round, just so that people who have not had time to return to the camp can enter it for refuge in case of emergency!

Regardless of nationality, there is no need to pay, just leave a note of thanks.

Now, it has become his only hope!!

If you manage to get there, you'll have a hot meal and hot water! You can comfortably wait for the snowstorm to pass, and you can live!

After making sure that the equipment was safe and reliable, Huang Haiyang flipped the door armrest and pushed it hard! The door didn't open, it was blocked by the snow outside, which was originally in Huang Haiyang's plan, Huang Haiyang gritted his teeth, shook the door back and forth desperately, and finally squeezed open a gap!

"Woo~~~!!"

A whistling!

The wind mixed with the snowflakes poured in through the cracks! Only blowing the yellow ocean to frown!!

However, at this juncture, Huang Haiyang gritted his teeth and shook the car door back and forth desperately!

The snow poured into the cab through the crack in the door, and the snow outside the door was loose after all, and it was quickly pushed aside, and the angle that could be opened finally became larger and larger!

After 5 minutes of hard work, finally, after a few hard steps, he finally opened the car door to a gap that was barely enough for him to climb out!

Looking at this gap, Huang Haiyang, who had almost exhausted his physical strength, blinked vigorously, gasping for breath, it was too hanging! Maybe if you delay for another 10 minutes, you probably won't be able to open the door! After a little panting, Huang Haiyang mustered up his strength, turned over, and got out of the gap!

As soon as I went out, the strong wind blew Huang Haiyang staggered, and he struggled to stand firm, barely discerning the direction against the cold wind that was almost impossible to breathe, and struggled forward in the knee-deep snow!! In just a few minutes, the temperature of the whole body was almost carried away by the strong wind! Huang Haiyang only felt that his whole body was frozen and stiff! Fingers and toes are almost unconscious!

"Now, the wind is ...... It should be at level 8~9 and the temperature is ...... The temperature is about minus 20~30 degrees Celsius, and below this temperature, if I don't arrive soon, I will die on the road. ”

"Come on, come on! 2 km only! Come on! ”

Against the wind and snow, Huang Haiyang kept cheering for himself in his heart!

"I've survived the winter, and I've survived the boundless night! There's no reason why this daylight saving time actually killed me! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! ”

……

In just a few minutes, the snow has already been pasted with a thick layer on the goggles, and it is useless to wipe it, and it will be caught in the lake again almost instantly! In three years, this goggle has been baptized by wind and snow, and the coating has long been worn out, and it is easy to be attached to the snow, and the warmth effect of the cold-proof clothing on the body is not as good as before!

Pulled out his left leg with difficulty, took half a step, fell heavily, and then pulled out his right leg with difficulty, suddenly, a gust of wind blew, rolling up all the snowflakes and sticking them all on Huang Haiyang's face, Huang Haiyang suddenly lost his balance and fell into the snow!

And as soon as he fell to the ground, he was covered with a layer of snow.

"Get up! Get up! Gritting his teeth, he struggled to get up, his lips were already frozen together, so he couldn't even say this sentence!

I turned over with difficulty, used my head against the direction of the wind, slowly got up, found the direction by feeling, and subconsciously tried to move forward!

However, he did not know that he had already strayed in the direction he had already strayed. In this area near the high point of Antarctica, there is almost nothing to follow!

Walk, walk...... Walk, walk......

I don't know how long it took, but the shelter was still nowhere to be seen!

No, it's too cold......

I can't hold it anymore......

No, no, no, no, I'm going to hold on......

I want to go home...... I want to go home......

Slowly, Huang Haiyang only felt that his whole body was no longer cold, comfortable, more comfortable, and his head became more and more dizzy, and finally, it was dark in front of him, and he fell into the snowdrift, and he was unconscious in an instant.

The snow was still falling wildly, and it didn't take a minute for the wind to cover the yellow ocean in the snowdrifts......

……

"Hoo ......"

Li Jie let out a deep breath, squinted his eyes and glanced at the sun still hanging high above his head, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he had been walking for 3 hours, but the sun had never moved! But according to the time on the mobile phone, it is already 8 o'clock in the evening!! Is the phone broken!?

Looking back, the low mountain behind him was long gone, gritted his teeth, Li Jie chose to move on!

As he walked, Li Jie looked at the scene around him, this kind of scenery he had never seen before, and even in his dreams, he could not constitute such a peculiar scene.

One foot deep and one foot shallow stepped in the snow, but the feet were not cold, obviously, this set of cold-proof clothes that originally belonged to Wu Jie was a high-end product, at least more windproof and warm than the one made by Li Jie.

Suddenly, he stepped on something, subconsciously avoided it, but was hooked, Li Jie immediately lost his balance, fell headlong, and subconsciously reached out to help, but his hand fell into the snow, so his face was directly attached to the snow......

"I'll go!!"

I got up in annoyance, pulled out my feet with great effort, brought out the snow next to me, and the things that tripped Li Jie were suddenly revealed!

It turned out to be a backpack!

Li Jie's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reached out to pull it, but he didn't pull it, and the backpack seemed to be tied to something.

Pulling away the snow with his hand, the backpack turned out to be on a person, only part of the torso leaked, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women, wearing a blue cotton coat.

"Huh~" Li Jie subconsciously bared his teeth, it turned out to be a corpse!

Chapter 61

Subconsciously let go, but after thinking about it, Li Jie still bent down, ready to cut the snow on this corpse, just started, and suddenly reacted, brother is a person with superpowers, do you need me to do this?

Li Jie, who reacted, glanced over, and the snow covering the corpse disappeared at once, exposing the entire person.

Blue down jacket, black pants, hat tightly wrapped, with black goggles, you can't see a man or a woman, but judging from the body type, men are more likely.

Turning his eyes to the bulging backpack, Li Jie felt a little hope in his heart, maybe there was something useful in the bag, so he turned the corpse sideways, and in the process, the whole corpse froze into an ice sculpture, no matter how Li Jie fiddled, he maintained the posture when he died.

Due to posture problems, Li Jie wasted a long time before removing the backpack from this person.

The backpack was taken off, and Li Jie, who was panting, saw the goggles on his face again, hesitated, and finally sighed: "Forget it, you're dead anyway, just lend me the glasses, otherwise the snow reflection is too serious, and I will bury you in a while, which can be regarded as repaying you!" ”

I pulled it with my hand, but I didn't pull it down, it was fixed on my head, and as a last resort, Li Jie pulled down the hat on this person's head.

As soon as the hat was pulled down, a long dirty black hair leaked out, with a lock, and it looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time, looking at the appearance, it should be an Asian. Li Jie frowned, but still took off the goggles.

I glanced at the man's appearance, it was very ordinary, about 30 years old, his face was blue, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs had become cloudy yellow, covered with snowflakes, and he looked terrifying, but this was no longer an unacceptable picture for Li Jie.

Putting the goggles in his pocket, Li Jie opened the backpack with some anticipation.

A large 1L thermos kettle was very heavy in my hand, and I tried to unscrew it with great effort, but found that the water in it had already frozen into a lump of ice.

2 packets of compressed biscuits, one of which has been opened, one of which has traces of gnawing, apparently, its owner had eaten it before he was alive, and before he finished eating, he had frozen to death here...... Suddenly, Li Jie's eyes froze, and on the packaging bag, the words "Huaguo Antarctic Special Supply" were written, and the production unit was the famous Qindao Marine Food Co., Ltd., which is an old military canned food manufacturer.

This Asian man turned out to be very likely a Chinese!

However, what really stirred Li Jie's heart was another few words: "Antarctic Special Supply".

South Pole! This turned out to be Antarctica!?

Yes, I didn't dare to think about it earlier, but now I think about it, such a vast snowfield, such a violent blizzard, and the sun still hanging in the sky at 9 o'clock in the evening are not unique to the polar regions!

It's just that a pack of compressed biscuits, but I can't be sure that I must be in Antarctica...... Thinking of this, Li Jie pursed his lips and rummaged for other things.

1 box of frozen mashed potatoes, still a product of Qindao Marine Food Factory, as well as two frozen carrots, and a black ice lump the size of a child's fist, Li Jie took a closer look, it should be a roasted potato.

In addition, on an access card, a work permit, and on the certificate, a young man with a good appearance and a smile was lying stiffly beside Li Jie.

"Yellow Ocean...... Aurora Station Logistics Department, Mechanical Engineer ......"

Looking back again, looking at Huang Haiyang, who didn't know how long he had been lying here, Li Jie sighed in his heart.

He has some admiration in his heart for this kind of person who risked his life to carry out scientific research work in the polar regions. Moreover, being able to come here and join the Huaguo Aurora Scientific Research Station is enough to show his excellence, however, in the end, he turned into an ice sculpture and stayed on the Antarctic continent forever.

But to a certain extent, you don't need to face the infection of germs, and you won't see your family members become monsters that eat the living in front of you; It may also be a blessing to not have to face a tragic death due to lack of supplies.

Gather your mood and continue rummaging through this backpack, windproof lighter, a small can of accelerant, and ...... A diary!?

Rummaging through it again, finding nothing else, Li Jie opened the notebook.

This is a notebook with a cowhide cover, judging from the wear marks on the surface, the owner often uses it, and the thickness is a full centimeter.

The cover of the first page was bulging, obviously holding something, Li Jie opened it and saw that it was a map.

Before he could open it, a gust of wind blew, and Li Jie almost couldn't hold the map, so he hurriedly stuffed it into his notebook, intending to find a place to take a closer look.

Looking left and right, about a few kilometers ahead, there were only a few large stones scattered around, and in other places, there was a snow-white blank with no edge in sight!

"I'll go, how do you know the direction of this place? It's, it's all about feelings! Li Jie muttered a few words, this kind of place with no reference at all is really uncomfortable to walk in.

Forget it, camp on the spot!

Using wood as the main material, with little effort, Li Jie quickly built a wooden house, using two barrels of magma as a heat source and stones for heat insulation, and in just a few minutes, the temperature in the house skyrocketed. Li Jie even made an extra stove to burn coals, and for this purpose, a flue was specially designed.

In less than half an hour, a warm cabin appeared in this endless snowfield.

In the warm but empty room, Li Jie waved his hand, and the table, chair, bench, and bed with a full set of bedding appeared at once, and then with a wave of his hand, a bowl of hot mushroom soup and a piece of baked potatoes appeared on the table.

Taking off his heavy coat, Li Jie sat at the table, "slippery", drank a sip of hot soup, and looked at the snow scene outside the glass window, not to mention moisturizing.

After a short rest, Li Jie took out the notebook, opened the cover, and took out the map to unfold.

It was a map of Antarctica that was about to be torn over, the paper was brittle, and it had been reinforced with several layers of tape on the back, but even then, there were still slight cracks along the fold.

Looking at the map carefully, Li Jie's eyes lit up!

This map, densely packed with small dots of different sizes, turned out to be the location of the scientific research stations of various countries in the Antarctic continent in the world!

Among them, there are nearly 200 of them with a slightly larger one, with printed instructions, which are all scientific research stations in various countries, and the rest of the secret mothers' small ones are emergency shelters that have been established, and there are even service centers dedicated to tourists!

This is exactly what Li Jie urgently needs!
