Chapter 4: Tranquility
Lu Liang looked at the Snow Dragon icebreaker under his feet and exclaimed, "This Snow Dragon icebreaker is really domineering. Look at this shipboard, just drilled, everything is so extraordinary. The last cruise we did in the Maldives was like a model for kids compared to this boat. If this were to be hit, the boat would be cut into several pieces. ”
One of the sailors smiled and said, "Haha, you're right. This ship is indeed domineering and mighty. The ship has been circling the Antarctic Circle, where icebergs are everywhere. You don't know, there is such a thing as an iceberg, which is only six or seven times the size of the water exposed, and the real entity is underneath. Our ships often pass through places where icebergs gather, and if it weren't solid, we'd have long been, well, you say, isn't it? Therefore, this ship directly represents the level of shipbuilding in China. On this boat, you can rest assured, as long as it does not collide directly with the iceberg, there is generally no problem. ”
We nodded, and we all understood. We are all involved in the dangers in the Antarctic Circle, and everyone has done their homework to have the right to come here. This was our last adventure, and the most dangerous, and we were all careful to take into account every detail that could be wrong. We spent four days studying these details so that we could come back alive. Although we also know that there are many uncertain dangers that we cannot consider, it is better to calculate more than to count less, and it is our blessing that half of a thousand worries are accurate.
I heard the captain say that the Antarctic Circle would take another week to reach it. Originally, we were thinking of flying to Argentina or Chile and picking us up from the Snow Dragon, but in the end, the country made us wait in Beijing and didn't let us leave until the Snow Dragon returned home. To this day, I still wonder why the country should go far and let us walk a few more days by water. It was only in the end that I realized that the country was also deeply wary of other countries. Since the moon returned. There is no longer so much peace on the planet, and good international relations are all in vain, and every country is worried about its own national situation. Now Chile and Argentina are full of bandits, and even the government does not govern them, and they cannot govern them. If we do go to Argentina, we may be in danger of living without going to Antarctica.
The boat is not fast though. But we also like it very much. Every day, I sit by the string of the boat and watch the magnificent sea, enjoy the beautiful sea view, and watch the beautiful islands appear and disappear in front of and behind the boat. Looking at the change of sea water from light green to dark blue to navy blue, there are several places where the water depth is particularly powerful, and the sea water is directly black. Every time an island appears, the water turns clear and bright light blue or green again. Watch schools of small fish flutter in and out of the reef and seaweed. There is no artistic conception in it.
We all know that such days are very short, and there will never be such leisurely days after arriving in Antarctica, so we are all fully engaged in enjoyment, enjoying this beauty, enjoying this leisure, enjoying the carefree and quiet life. We all consciously put aside what we will encounter when we arrive in Antarctica and enjoy the present wholeheartedly.
At our request, the boat stopped near the equator for a day. We found a small island. It is said to be the territory of Indonesia, but it is not inhabited. The island is small. Maybe it's a coral reef that would be more suitable. We fished, dug shellfish, caught sea crabs, and had a lot of fun here. Even the sailor on the Snow Dragon went crazy with us for a day. may know the danger of our trip, and the state has not given us any restrictions, as if the captain of the Snow Dragon has also received the arrangement from the state. There are basically no comments on some of our requests.
For three days, every day was our trophy feast for that day. Even though it is also ordinary seafood such as shrimp, crab, fish and shellfish, we think it is extra delicious, probably because we caught it by hand. Those sailors were much better than us, and they caught some jellyfish. We made a cold dish, mixed with kelp, seaweed, and sprayed with Shanxi old vinegar, wow, a rare delicacy. While passing through Australia, we stopped the boat for half a day and dived to the bottom of the sea to catch some seafood, including sea cucumbers, pike crabs, climbing crabs, and lobsters. This time, we actually caught two or three super lobsters, and we weighed them, and there were more than seven catties. Even the captain was amazed when he saw it, and the chef was even more pleased, and used his skills to make us a lobster feast.
Until now, we learned that good ingredients also require good chefs to make delicious food. After enjoying the meal, I found out after questioning that this chef actually beat the other party's super chef with more than 30 points in the Sino-French Super Chef Competition.
We walked for nearly a month on a flight of more than ten days. Looking at the extra snow and ice ahead, we knew that our destination was about to arrive. The Snow Dragon finally slowed down, slowly shuttling among the icebergs, occasionally pausing to slowly open up the channels blocked by ice floe. The ice is getting thicker, each piece is more than half a meter thick, and we know that the Antarctic continent is not far away. On top of some of the large ice floes, there were scattered penguins swaying around, causing us to scream loudly.
The captain grinned and said, "Look, in another day, you won't be able to call." There are more and more penguins in front, just like you, waiting for the Antarctic continent to be hoarse. At that time, you just saw tens of thousands of penguins on the Antarctic continent, haha, I don't know if you still have the strength to scream at that time? ”
I smiled awkwardly, made a silent gesture, and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while." The captain was so angry with us that he would scream loudly when he had rested, and he would be killed. Everyone burst into laughter, watching the sneering captain quietly walk away, Leng Feng covered his stomach and said, "Husband, you are dead." I subconsciously rubbed my nose and smiled slightly, watching everyone play unbridledly.
Ye Manqing walked up to me gently, sighed slightly and said, "Husband, at least seven or eight of us won't be able to come back this time." I nodded, seven or eight? Luckily, much less than I expected. Ye Manqing was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "What, you know?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, it's just that the number you gave me is much less than I estimated myself." My own estimation is that it would be nice if five people survived. ”
Ye Manqing looked at me playfully and asked, "Do you estimate that there is water to survive?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. When things are in danger, things change quickly, and who knows what to expect? But I don't think it's very likely that I'll go back. I'm going to try my best to keep you and Leng Feng safe. ”
Ye Manqing's eyes were moist, and her eyes were a little red, and she looked at me and said, "Husband, I think the same way." Even if I die, Leng Feng is still with you, even if the two of us are gone, there are still Yu Qian and Zhang Qiang, the two little girls. Although they are not as clingy to you as we are, if you say a few good words, they will obediently stay by your side. ”
I shook my head, pointed at Yu Qian and said, "Can't you see it?" Her heart is now on Wang Zongjun. This kid, when he was on the moon, said that he was chasing Yu Qian, but he didn't expect to catch up so soon. ”
Ye Manqing smiled and said, "And Zhang Qiang, that little girl has no one to chase now." ”
I smiled and said, "Come on, you and Leng Feng will give me a good life, and I am reluctant to give up that one." ”
Ye Manqing glanced at me and smiled: "You are so beautiful." You're bullying me just because I don't want a name? One day I'm tired, so I'll kick you. See what you do. Looking at her delicate face, my heart fluttered, and I did not hesitate to kiss her petal-like little mouth. Leng Feng didn't know when he approached me, and said breathlessly, "Husband, I want it too." ”
I gently hugged Leng Feng and Ye Manqing and said, "You two can accompany me tonight." When we go ashore tomorrow, there will be no chance. Although this operation was on the earth, it was no worse than the moon, perhaps more dangerous than the moon. The poisonous snakes and beasts are not terrible, but the human heart is terrible. In recent years, the UFO incident has also occurred frequently, and people's hearts are very unstable. There are more than 3,000 people who came to the Antarctic continent this time, and when they return, I don't know how many people will leave alive? "The closer I get to the Antarctic continent, the more bottomless my heart becomes, and now only women can make me relax, right? Who knows who will be among the seven or eight people Ye Manqing said? Maybe it's one of the three of us? Now it is possible to warm up for a while, no one knows what will happen after going ashore tomorrow, and I am afraid that there will be no time to warm up again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Liang and Li Meiting were in the same mood, and what surprised us even more was Wang Zongjun and Yu Qian, who also entered the room together as if they were taboo. Although I am not taboo for Wang Zongjun chasing Yu Qian, I still have a sour feeling in my heart when I see them go to the room together. I don't know how this feeling came from, but the tears were still rolling in my eyes, and it took a lot of effort to stop him from coming out.
Leng Feng said softly: "Husband, Yu Qian has found her own happiness, you should be happy." Would you feel better if she kept being single? At least now you know she's doing well, and you won't feel guilty. Alas, husband, why do you have so many love debts. It seems that your daughter will be indispensable in the next life.
