Chapter 45: The Midnight Sun (2)

Midnight sun.

Ouyang Anna asked the Italian menacingly: "Are you sure your watch is not out of order?" ”

"I'm a Swiss mechanical watch for pilots." Caproni, who grew up on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, pointed to the icy sun and said, "The Arctic Circle has long passed, and now it's the polar day, and the sun lasts for 24 hours." We are lucky enough to have summer instead of winter, otherwise we will fall into an eternal night, and people will be desperate to commit suicide. ”

The Italians are right, people living in the Arctic Circle, because of the terrible polar nights in winter, are prone to depression and have a high suicide rate.

In the second half of the night, everyone followed the coastline of the stormy waves and returned to the supply site where the airship crashed. The lonely Chanco guards a gun and accompanies the Four-Winged Angel Tomb Beast, who is about to become mentally ill.

Set up your tent, set up camp, and use the remaining diesel fuel to make a fire. Qin Beiyang was extremely weak, and his lungs were like fire. Anna didn't allow Nine Colors to get close to him, and drove the town tomb beast to the four-winged angel, anyway, the two beasts have spirit stones in their hearts, so they should hurt each other.

In order to pass the boring long polar day, everyone told their own strange stories. Caproni showed off his flying adventures, Li Longsheng talked about the mysterious Himalayan snowman, Qi Yuanshan talked about the brutal training in the military academy in Japan, and Anna told the story of the pirates in her childhood in the East China Sea Damo Mountain......

In the end, it was Qin Beiyang's turn.

Although he hid the secret of the dungeon in his mind, he smirked and said, "I'm just a little craftsman, there are no interesting stories, you can let me go." ”

Three days later, the sun never set, the ancient desert island was deserted, and food and fresh water had been depleted.

"Who has experience in fishing?"

Giuseppe Caproni dejectedly grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth, waiting for it to melt before swallowing it.

"I grew up on an island." Anna volunteered, but this Arctic ice sea is not the Dharma Mountain in the East China Sea, "but there are no fishing tools, not even a harpoon." ”

"But we have this!" Qi Yuanshan raised his shotgun, he was the first in shooting in the infantry department of studying in Japan, "I guess those seals basking on the ice have not encountered hunters for tens of thousands of years." ”

Qi Yuanshan led the team, plus Caproni and Qin Beiyang, and the three men plus the nine colors went to the beach to hunt together.

A small, frozen bay with thousands of seals lying densely packed. Qi Yuanshan and Qin Beiyang each shot three seals with a shotgun, and dragged them back to the camp on the snow. Each seal weighs hundreds of kilograms, and it doesn't take a few steps to pull it, and Jiuse drags the three seals alone like a dog sled back to the camp.

The group unloaded the seals into eight pieces and had a sumptuous seal meat feast. Anna squeezes seal fat into glass bottles, and this energy can save lives at the critical moment.

After eating seal meat for seven days in a row, Qi Yuanshan said worriedly: "There is not a single tree on this island, and not a single grass can grow, how to solve the problem of fuel?" ”

"The ancient Vikings once immigrated to Greenland, and then became extinct because of the harsh environment." Li Longsheng touched the stubble on his chin, and his handsome face was even more flavorful, "I heard that the Eskimos eat raw meat for a living, and it can prevent scurvy, which is very important for us to survive." And cooked meat destroys vitamins. ”

Qi Yuanshan has been in Japan for nearly a year and has long been accustomed to eating sashimi. He turned his heart sideways, assumed a military posture, grabbed the raw meat of the seal, chose the fattest part, and swallowed it like a beast. Then Qin Beiyang thought that instead of dying of lung cancer, it would be better to die from eating raw meat, and feast without scruples. Then there were Li Longsheng, Qian Ke and Caproni, and finally it was Ouyang Anna's turn - she was hungry for a whole day before she ate a fat piece of seal fat under Qin Beiyang's persuasion, and she felt good.

Every day they went to the ice sea to hunt, in order to save bullets, Qi Yuanshan and Caproni slaughtered seals with knives, and these poor huge sea beasts were powerless to fight back.

The Arctic island became a slaughterhouse.

With two-legged beasts like humans, all four-legged or unlegged beasts are doomed to catastrophe.

A month later, Qin Beiyang spotted a polar bear.

He, Qi Yuanshan, and Li Longsheng were hunting with nine colors, and they saw that the bear was covered in snow-white fur and stood up nearly three meters high, like a mountain of action, slaughtering seals unscrupulously. It is the largest land carnivore on Earth, can run on the ice, dive into the ice to swim and hunt, and dominates the top of the Arctic Circle biological chain.

For the first time on this island, a large land animal was found, Qi Yuanshan lay in the snow and said: "I want to vomit after eating seal meat!" How about we taste the meat of polar bears? ”

The shotgun fires the first round. Gunfire roared in the icy sea, and the seals, who had been killed, jumped into the sea to flee for their lives. Qi Yuanshan's marksmanship hit the body of the big white bear, shooting out a piece of white hair stained red with blood.

Instead of falling, the polar bear roared and rushed towards them, trying to tear the uninvited guests to shreds. Li Longsheng dragged everyone to escape. Qi Yuanshan had a calm military temperament, and bravely fired a second bullet in the face of a tank-like polar bear.

The white bear's head was accurately hit, and although he didn't get a headshot on the spot, he was also bloody. It's unbelievable that it's still alive and still rampage. Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan simply stood up from the snow, and Jiu Se also stared at the glass-colored eyes.

Beast-to-beast duel......

In the middle of the night sun, the bloodied polar bear was scared. It was not a two-legged human that it was afraid of, but a four-legged tomb beast Nine Colors.

The white bear chose to turn around and run away, if it jumped into the sea of ice, Qi Yuanshan and the others categorically had no chance to hunt, but it rushed inland in a panic. The nine colors took the lead, and everyone followed closely. If you don't want to waste bullets, you can wait until the polar bear loses too much blood and collapses. But the giant beast had thick skin and thick flesh, and insisted on running out for several miles.

In the inland part of the island, everyone has never explored deeply, and they have strayed into the unknown world, and if they get lost, they will be miserable. Li Longsheng urgently called a halt, but Qi Yuanshan insisted on drumming: "If the polar bear survives, it will definitely come to attack our camp in the middle of the night to retaliate, it will be too dangerous." ”

Qi Yuanshan has both meticulous thinking and decisive decision-making like a general. They chased them down to the snowy mountains in the center of the island. With nowhere to go, the polar bear roared and swooped back. Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan both shot out, and two bullets hit the heart at the same time. The white bear continued to sprint for dozens of steps, and then fell in front of the three of them, the tip of its black nose, only three inches away from the tip of the nine-colored nose. The polar bear was convulsing, blood flowing like boiling water, stained red with snow, and its eyes were fixed on the three humans, imposing an eternal curse. When he was dying, Qi Yuanshan shot another shot at the center of his eyebrows, completely ending the pain.

He was on a shotgun, sitting on the back of a polar bear and panting for breath, a man so small compared to this behemoth.

After tracking the prey for so long, Qin Beiyang fell weakly, feeling that he was going to be killed by cancer cells in the next second. But Jiu Se rushed to the foot of the snowy mountain, and his four paws were desperately digging the snow. Li Longsheng went over suspiciously and found that Jiu Se had dug up the frozen soil common in the polar regions.

It was getting dark, and the sun was sinking to the sea of ice. The watch went until ten o'clock in the evening. In mid-August, the short summer in the Arctic has passed, the polar day is gone, and the night is long overdue.

Snow-white antlers grew in nine colors, and the white hair on his body faded away, turning into golden scale armor. The antlers dug through the hard frozen ground, revealing a man's face.

There is a man buried under the tundra.
