Chapter 287, Through the Cold Wind
But this Xiaoice place, there is nothing, let alone animals, not even a small ice mountain, all is an endless ice surface, white, if not wearing protective glasses, just the white light reflected on this ice surface can blind our eyes.
And don't look at the sea is full of ice, but there is almost no snow on it, only a thin layer of frost, it is very difficult to walk, very slippery, even if you wear non-slip shoes, after all, there are no nails on the soles, and if you are not careful, you will have to fall.
We lined up in a row and tied the rope to our bodies, so that even if someone fell, they would not be left behind, Mai Lao still took the lead, Changshan was behind the end hall this time, and the environment here, primarily, was worse than the island.
It stands to reason that we should use mountaineering crutches to make it easier to walk, but who would have thought that this would happen.
We walked forward with great difficulty against the cold wind, the red snowflakes had stopped, but the fog came again, although the fog was not as strong as before, but it also affected the sight, the visibility dropped a lot, as soon as the fog came, the sun was gone, and the whole sky and the whole space were gray.
The cold wind mixed with the mist, this is simply killing people, blowing our faces numb, the mist has moisture, the cold wind is cold, which makes us quickly have a thin layer of frost.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, I don't know to what extent, I have lived in the Northeast for many years, I think I have never been afraid of the cold, even if it is more than minus 20 degrees, I don't feel how cold, but in this ghost place, the cold wind is like a knife, I don't even dare to raise my head, presumably the temperature is close to minus 40 degrees, otherwise it will definitely not be so cold.
Every few steps I take, I have to look back, Li Xin is behind me, Jenny is behind her, and Jiao Ba is behind Jenny, this is what I deliberately arranged, so that at least I can take care of them, although I said that I don't care about Jenny's business anymore, but at the critical moment, I really can't do it.
"How are you? Is it still workable? I turned around and shouted at Li Xin, she lowered her head all the way, looking a little struggling, her body was covered with white frost, and her pace slowed down a little.
After hearing my shout, Li Xin looked up at me and said, "It's okay, it's just a little cold." ”
"Hold on a little longer, and maybe it will be better when you've made this way." Actually, I don't know when the cold wind and fog will stop, even if only one stops, the cold wind and fog are really powerful, and I am even worried about whether the guns will be frozen.
Martin was walking ahead of me when he turned around and shouted, "Mr. Kim, are you sure we can find the treasure?" "His face and body were covered in frost, and he looked like a little snowman.
I took two steps forward against the cold wind, "What did you say?" "Actually, I heard it, but I deliberately pretended not to hear it.
"I say, are you sure we can find the treasure?" Martin shouted again.
"What do you say? I can't hear clearly. "I'm playing dumb again, Yankee, don't you feel like you're awesome? I'm tired of you this time, and although it's very inauthentic for me to do this, I always feel sorry for myself if I don't do it.
"I said, when will we find the treasure." Martin shouted again, louder than before, and the cold wind poured into his mouth.
"When will this cold wind be heard?" I don't answer rhetorical questions.
Martin paused for a moment, then roared, "How do I know?" ”
"You don't know when the cold wind will stop, so how do I know if I can find the treasure." After I finished saying this, Martin was stunned and didn't say a word, and he was so angry that he almost opened his mouth to scold me.
Mai Lao turned around and shouted, "Save some effort, stop shouting." ”
The two of us had to shut up and continue to follow him, we had been walking for almost an hour, I don't know how far we had gone, but our ship had long since disappeared.
In this hour, there are always people who will fall on the ice, not because of lack of physical strength, but because the ice is too slippery, coupled with the torture of the cold wind, everyone looks very tired, but these do not affect the overall situation, even Shaoyu and those Malaysians have stubbornly survived.
The fog and the cold wind finally began to weaken little by little, which was a good sign, without the cold wind and fog, at least we would not suffer so much, and after we had walked for more than half an hour, the cold wind and fog stopped completely.
I feel that the temperature has risen a little bit, although it is not very obvious, it is still very cold, but it is much stronger than before, at least the body does not feel the biting cold, the previous part of the journey, it is really torturous, and those with a little worse willpower are easy to be frozen to death.
Mai Lao turned around at this time and shouted, "Why don't we take a rest first?" ”
Before, due to the cold wind mixed with the fog, we didn't dare to stop at all, once people stopped, the speed of blood flow slowed down, people are easy to be frostbitten in a short period of time, or even frozen to death, so even if we are tired, we dare not stop.
Mantou shouted from behind, "Take a break, my legs are weak." ”
"Then take a break." Mai Lao finally decided to rest for five minutes before leaving, although the cold wind and fog stopped, but the temperature was still very low, and the rest was just to relieve his physical strength, but he definitely couldn't stay for a long time, otherwise his body couldn't stand it.
We put down the backpack, sit on it to rest for a while, I took out the thermos pot, after opening it I took a sip gently, I really didn't expect that the water in the thermos pot was still hot, and it was still very hot, not affected by the previous weather at all, this thermos pot is really a good thing.
"I thought the water was going to freeze into ice, but I didn't expect it to be so well preserved."
Martin turned his head to look at me and said, "This is the best military thermos pot in the United States, which can maintain the water temperature for 24 hours at temperatures in temperatures of more than minus 30 degrees." ”
"This thing is really good, as soon as I drink this hot water, I obviously feel warm all over my body." This Yankee's equipment is advanced, and at this time, drinking a sip of hot water is more effective than anything else.
Li Xin opened the kettle and took a sip, and said with a very enjoyable expression, "Really, this water is so hot, Martin, or your equipment is advanced enough." ”
Martin said proudly, "The equipment I brought with me this time is almost all the most advanced military equipment in the United States, if there is no good equipment, it is very dangerous for people to survive outside." ”
"Well, it makes sense, I agree with this, if you don't have good equipment, no matter how good a person is, it's in vain." Mantou said as he drank hot water nearby.
Jenny put the kettle away, stood up and asked, "How far do we have to go, Elder Mai?" It's been almost two hours since then. ”
