Chapter 184: Riding a Giant Panda When You Go Out

After getting the professional explorer certificate, Ye Xuan rushed to the airport and booked a ticket to Fairbanks that day.

There are no direct flights to Fairbanks in Linjiang, and there are two transfers on the way, Seattle and Anchorage. The 36-hour long-haul flight made him look extremely tired.

After walking a few steps along the airport passage, two customs officers reached out and stopped him.

"Mr. Ye Xuan?" one of the sturdy black staff members looked at him carefully, then glanced at the computer screen and asked.

Ye Xuan rubbed his face, cheered up and said, "I'm Ye Xuan, what's the problem?"

The black customs officer said with a serious expression: "According to the visa information, you have been added to the US visa blacklist seven days ago. Now that we suspect that you are crossing the border illegally, please come with us. ”

As he spoke, the two stepped forward.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan frowned, and reached out to take out the explorer documents in his pocket.

This action seemed to irritate their nerves, and the black customs hurriedly took a step back, and at the same time put his hands on his waist, and made a gesture of drawing his gun, while shouting: "Don't move, raise your hands above your head!

This sudden scene immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding passengers and staff, and they all turned their eyes to this side.

"Man, calm down. Ye Xuan said as he slowly took out the documents in his pocket.

The two customs officers stared at him with wide eyes, their right hands were completely buckled on the gun, and they would not hesitate to point their guns at him if they were threatened.

It wasn't until they found out that Ye Xuan took out a card that they could clearly feel that the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their originally tense bodies relaxed again. However, his expression was still serious, and he stared at him with an unkind expression.

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry. Ye Xuan handed over the card and said impatiently.

The black customs took the card suspiciously, and when he saw the words on the card, his expression changed slightly, and then he put the document on the sensor. Looking at the information displayed on the computer screen, the two looked at each other.

Soon, the attitude of the two took a 180-degree turn, and after handing the documents back, the black customs smiled slightly apologetically: "Mr. Ye Xuan, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for the inconvenience." ”

"It's fine. ”

Waving at them, Ye Xuan walked out of the airport quickly.

Until he disappeared into the airport, the passengers and staff in the airport immediately began to talk about it.

......

January is winter in Fairbanks and the coldest time of the year. The average daily maximum temperature will not exceed minus 19 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature at night is generally around 29-35 degrees Celsius.

Although it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Xuan felt that he was about to freeze. And under the influence of the polar night of the Arctic Circle, the daylight hours here are very short, and the sun has begun to gradually tilt westward at this time, and it is estimated that the sky will become dark in more than an hour at most.

Standing in the cold wind outside the airport, he couldn't stand it for just a few minutes.

However, as time passed, Ye Xuan was surprised to find that his body seemed to be slowly adapting to this cold.

The Chill Bloodline is starting to work!

After about ten minutes, his resistance to cold reached its peak, and he still felt cold at the moment, but it was much better than just now, and the frequency of his body shaking began to decrease.

Taxis in Fairbanks are scarce, especially during the winter months. The cold weather has completely frozen the roads, and even with snow chains on the tires of the vehicle, the speed limit cannot exceed 40 kilometers per hour. Even then, accidents are very susceptible.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I saw a taxi slowly coming with customers.

After the passengers got off the car, Ye Xuan immediately got into the car.

Feeling the warm temperature in the car, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Hey, brother, where are you going?" asked the taxi driver, a white man with a big beard, as he got into the car.

"Ice hotel. ”

After announcing the name of the hotel, the taxi slowly drove towards the target location.

Fairbanks is a small city with a longitudinal length of no more than 20 kilometers from east to west, north and south, and it takes you a maximum of 10 minutes to reach your destination at a normal speed. But now the road conditions are too bad, and the taxi drives the same as a classic car, moving forward slowly.

After looking at Ye Xuan's thin clothes through the rearview mirror, the driver's uncle suddenly asked, "Man, are you an Inuit?"

"No, I'm from Huaxia!" Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then explained.

"I thought that only Inuit were not afraid of the cold. The driver's uncle shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "Huaxia, the mysterious country of the East, to be honest, I have always wanted to go there to see. I heard that there are no cars and bicycles in your country, and you ride giant pandas when you go out, wow, this is just cool. ”

Shen TM rides a giant panda.

Ye Xuan's face was suddenly full of black question marks, and he said after a while: "Uh... Who are you listening to?"

"Half a year ago, there was also a Chinese young man who also took my car, and he told me. Man, do you have any giant pandas in Huaxia?" the driver's uncle, obviously not knowing that he had been deceived, asked seriously.

Ye Xuan tried hard to hold back his laughter, and said angrily: "That's right, the giant panda in China is equivalent to a car in the United States, almost every household has a giant panda, and we will ride it when we go out." And pandas are more economical than cars, because they only eat bamboo. ”

"It's such a magical country, and I will definitely go to China to see it in my lifetime. Uncle Driver sighed.

Many people may not know that, according to survey statistics, about 52% of Americans only have a few words for Huaxia, kung fu and panda. It is believed that the living environment of Chinese people today is the same as in martial arts movies, wearing quaint costumes, everyone knows Chinese kung fu, there are no cars and no bicycles, and they either ride horses or giant pandas when they go out.

Because the giant panda is a national treasure, Americans simply believe that every Chinese family has a giant panda.

I don't know why, Americans seem to love giant pandas more than Chinese people. Pandas can be featured in Time magazine on their birthdays. To gain the favor of Americans, it is actually very easy, you just need to say that you have a few giant pandas at home.

Don't think it's incredible, it's actually what it is.

The main reason for this is that there is too little cultural export. The vast majority of Americans, their perception of Huaxia is through several martial arts movies and giant pandas in zoos.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi finally stopped in front of the hotel, Ye Xuan paid the car money and tips, and walked into the hotel briskly with his backpack.

After checking in and entering the room, he turned on the air conditioner as soon as possible.

The 36-hour continuous flight tortured him a lot, and the whole person was cold, hungry and sleepy.

But now is not the time to rest, you need to reverse the jet lag and arrange for tomorrow's helicopter.

Taking out his mobile phone, he began to inquire about the company that rents helicopters in Fairbanks, but after checking, the whole person was suddenly confused, there is no company that rents helicopters for sightseeing here. The only agency that has a helicopter is the U.S. government search and rescue team.

Ye Xuan's planned survival location this time is a mountain range located in the interior of the Arctic Circle, about 120 kilometers away from Fairbanks. Luckily, he had an explorer's credential and was able to rent the infrastructure of the local government, otherwise he would have been in trouble. Because of this extremely harsh environment, except for airplanes, other means of transportation could not send him to the place of survival at all.

After checking the address of the government search and rescue team, he did not choose to take a taxi, but walked all the way through. The reason why I do this is to get my body used to it.

There are few pedestrians on the streets, and the occasional sight of one or two also wraps itself in a thick ball.

In this kind of weather, no one would want to go out, and Ye Xuan, who was thinly dressed, naturally attracted countless eyes from the shops on both sides of the street.
