Chapter 263: Snow Eagle
Everyone spent the night in fear, although the girls collected a lot of information about Polaris in advance, but they didn't expect that the other party was such a terrifying character, look at Chen Xiuwen and those locals, they were already scared just because of Li Xiang's description, maybe the rumors that spread outside are all false, but it is so notorious in the local area, it is enough to show the strength of Polaris.
Because everyone was afraid, few people slept in the second half of the night, Li Xiang may have been used to sleeping in the second half of the night, so he was really sleepy at two or three o'clock, but everyone's eyes made him a little embarrassed to sleep, and everyone's eyes revealed the information that they wanted him to help keep vigil, without exception.
Sitting by the fire, he yawned and looked at the people left and right, they all bowed their heads, some religious people had begun to pray to their true God, those voices with words appeared very clear in the silent night sky, as if it was a lullaby, Li Xiang just wanted to sleep.
These locals didn't dare to sleep because they were afraid, but these girls who came with Li Xiang were much calmer, and at first they were talking and laughing to accompany him, but later they found that their laughter did not drive the others, but was a little out of place, which made them feel very boring, so they all went back to sleep, and now only Bu Xiaoyi and Xia Luxue are sitting next to Li Xiang.
The two girls sat on his left and right, and in front of him was Chen Xiuwen, he wanted to find something to relieve the atmosphere, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what to say. In fact, what he wants to ask most now is the matter of the North Star, although the girls have done an investigation and the information given to him is quite detailed, but after all, the emperor is far away, and the latest news they got may have been memories of a few years ago. But looking at Chen Xiuwen's appearance, he really didn't dare to ask, and now he has scared this tour guide so much, if he asks again, he can't be scared.
The night was really hard for him, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and returned to his tent with a yawn, and got into his sleeping bag in the tent. Seeing him go back, Chen Xiuwen was able to follow, but this middle-aged man was not as calm as him, holding a bow and crossbow in both hands, and a pair of eyes were always looking around, as if he was afraid that the people from the North Star would suddenly come out of somewhere.
In this way, everyone spent two days in fear, and what made them all strange was that the people of Polaris had not appeared since then, which made everyone begin to doubt Li Xiang's statement, and they began to be optimistic that he was wrong that night, after all, at such a distance, how could the human eye see, Li Xiangke did not tell them that he had night vision goggles, at first they would believe that it was because of his strength that they had seen him on the plane before, which made them have a preconceived idea that they thought that he was omnipotent, now think about it, this Li Xiang is just the weapon in his hand.
In this way, Li Xiang's degree of being valued in the crowd quickly decreased, and he quickly became keenly aware of the changes in these guys about himself, and he knew what they thought after a calm analysis, so he was also happy and relaxed, you must know that the past two days have made him tired a lot, he has never slept at night, he fell asleep during the day, as long as there is a wind and grass around him, these guys will wake themselves up, and now they can finally be relieved.
That night, everyone gathered together, they needed to discuss the next thing, although Li Xiang had a lot of cards in his hand, but they didn't know, they just thought that the food and solid fuel were about to run out, some people who had a long-term view suggested that everyone should go on the road, and if they continued to consume it here, they would only wait for death.
Their words entered Li Xiang's ears through Wang Xuemei's translation, he had long wanted to leave, and when he heard that these guys finally dared to leave, he was happy in his heart, he knew that these guys had such a sense of crisis, and he would have restricted food and solid fuel two days earlier.
"Our ideas coincide, since that's the case, let's go on the road tomorrow" Li Xiang looked at the representative in front of him and said with a smile.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone walked early in the morning and marched on the glacier Li Xiang's group was a layman, so a few girls were placed in the middle of the team, and he was chatting with the team leader in front.
"Hi old Jimmy, how do you discern the direction, how do I look at it everywhere is the same" Li Xiang walked beside the team leader and asked. Because Wang Xuemei's feet are not good, he has been carrying her, which saves the translator from running back and forth, and through her, Li Xiang can chat with the team leader who is known as Old Jimmy.
This old Jimmy is actually not too old, his actual age is about forty years old, but he went to the sea to do business very early, and he is a very good person, everyone is familiar with him, and he likes it over time, as for his full name, it is too long, Li Xiang can't remember it.
"The sun, the direction of the wind...... There's so much to find out in this icy white desert," replied old Jimmy with a smile. Many of the methods he said to identify the direction made Li Xiang very puzzled, how to change the direction of the wind? He asked for a long time, and old Jimmy didn't hide his secrets, so he told him the way to distinguish it, but after explaining it several times, he couldn't understand it, and even Wang Xuemei on his back didn't hear why, and finally old Jimmy could only shake his head and say, "The time you live here is too short, and after a long time, you will be able to understand what I said."
After a morning's march, everyone was a little tired, so old Jimmy suggested that everyone take a break and eat something before leaving.
"How do I feel that we are still in the same place as before" Putting Wang Xuemei on the blanket, Li Xiang took off the brain on his head and looked around, just as old Jimmy described, this white glacier is like a cold white desert, so that you can't see the end at all, the most important point is to confuse people's sense of direction, and now he is already a little confused, thinking that his group of people is still spinning in place. After continuing the forest, he knew that there was a place that would make him lost, and that was the glacier, and he had now secretly sworn that he would never come to this ghost place even if he was killed.
"It's normal, so am I, the magnetic field here is strong and will interfere with everyone's senses, like old Jimmy, their wayfinding and the method we use must be different" Wang Xuemei said lightly, Li Xiang carried her all the way, so her physical fitness is very sufficient, but her legs and feet do not allow it, otherwise she really wants to come down and walk by herself. may be because she studied abroad, so she is not as conservative as a domestic girl in her thinking, and she was carried all the way by Li Xiang, and she did not show an expression such as shyness, but she seemed very calm, more calm than him.
"You are relaxed, when you are well, you will also carry me on your back, let's exchange courtesies" He took a few breaths, looked down at Wang Xuemei, who was rubbing her right foot, and said with a smile.
The "stingy" girl glanced up at him and muttered quietly. Originally, the girl hadn't paid attention to it, but now that Li Xiang said this, her brain began to recall the feeling on a man's shoulder, it was very comfortable, it was not the first time she had been carried on her back, but she felt that she was walking as smoothly as Li Xiang, and it was the first time she had encountered it. Thinking of this, her little face couldn't help but turn red, and she pouted and stuck out her tongue at Li Xiang, who turned to the side.
Li Xiang just took off his hat for a while, and he felt that his scalp began to feel cold, he had to buckle the hat on his head again, and glanced at the heavy clothes on his body, he complained, "This North Pole is really not a place for people to stay"
After a while, Xia Luxue ran over to call the two to eat, and just when he wanted to pick up Wang Xuemei again, Xia Luxue actually let herself go first, and she helped Wang Xuemei to follow. He felt very relaxed about the girl's actions, walking with a person on his back all morning is not a human job, especially in such harsh conditions, of course, the most important thing is that he is afraid that the people of the North Star will suddenly rush out, and it will be difficult to resist when there is someone on his back.
When he came to the girls, Bu Xiaoyi handed him a box of hot cans, and when he looked at the cans that had been opened and were steaming, he thanked him softly and began to eat them.
"How's that, it tastes good, right? Xiaobu specially prepared a canned food for you," Shu Ying ate in her mouth, and did not forget to run to Li Xiang's side to say a few words. Hearing this, Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Bu Xiaoyi, the girl didn't seem to hear it, just lowered her head to eat her own food, he turned his head to look at Shu Ying on the side, how could the benefits on her face make her feel so weird? I feel that as long as Wang Lixin's daughters talk to themselves about their brave support, they all seem to have this smile.
The canned food was already in his stomach, but he still couldn't understand what this smile meant, so he finally gave up, and took another box of canned food and ate it, not to mention, the taste was really not as delicious as the previous one, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Bu Xiaoyi on the side.
After eating, everyone began to pack up and prepare to continue on the road, but at this moment, Li Xiang told everyone a bad news, that is, his group of people were followed, probably Snow Eagle, because he had an unpleasant feeling that he was being targeted at gunpoint. Because he knew that this group of people was too afraid of the people on Polaris, he didn't dare to make too much noise, but just told Old Jimmy that although this old fritter in the business world also had a scared expression on his face, he still told him very calmly that he must not tell anyone else the news, otherwise, their last bit of desire to survive will disappear.
On the road again, Li Xiang and Old Jimmy were in front, because there was Wang Xuemei on the back, and Chen Xiuwen stayed in the middle. In fact, this middle-aged man with a beard has fallen into fear, only he has not yet woken up, and even walking is a little mechanical, for his appearance, Li Xiang guessed that Polaris might have hurt the people around him before, otherwise he should not be afraid of being like this just because of some rumors, and he tried to enlighten him a few times but it didn't work, so he gave up.
"Lee, tell me the truth, do you know Chinese kung fu, just like Bruce Lee's real kung fu" As he walked forward, old Jimmy leaned over to Li Xiang and asked in a low voice.
As soon as he heard old Jimmy's words, Li Xiang laughed, and he began to feel Bruce Lee's influence, even this northernmost section is a household name for Bruce Lee, without him, the world may not know what Chinese kung fu is. As soon as he was talking about kung fu, he couldn't help but think of the old man under Fang Lisheng, he guessed that the other party might be a kind of hard qigong, thinking back to what happened at that time, he still felt pain all over his body.
"I'm just a soldier veteran, I've learned boxing and kicking for a few years, and I can't talk about kung fu," Li Xiang said with a smile.
"Oh, is your retractable knife from Japan?" Old Jimmy may also know the history of China and Japan, so when he talked about the country, he looked at Li Xiang's expression carefully, he has been in the business world for almost 30 years, and his eyes can be said to be very accurate, so Li Xiang just let him know with a subtle expression, this kid is an angry young man, and it is better to talk less about Japanese things in front of him.
"Mine is the Tang knife, you have heard of China's Tang Dynasty, it was the knife at that time" Then Li Xiang began to tell the old Jimmy about the history of the development of knives in China and Japan, he said very strongly to the facts, and did not favor his own country because he was an angry youth, and told the old Jimmy very objectively, and the other party nodded again and again, loudly praising Li Xiang's erudition, and at the same time he looked down on this young man in his heart.
"I didn't expect you to be an angry young man" Because it has been on Li Xiang's back, the conversation between the two of them was all heard by Wang Xuemei, she whispered in the man's ear, and there seemed to be some ridicule between the words, which made Li Xiang frown.
"It's funny, isn't it silly to hold on to the historical hatred that you have never experienced? Miss Turtle "Li Xiang wanted to turn back, but the girl's head was in his ear, and if he turned back, maybe the heads of the two would collide together, so he just sneered and said lightly, especially when he said the last four words, he was one word at a time, as if he wanted to return the other party's ridicule to the other party.
"You are the turtle" Wang Xuemei tapped him on the shoulder and continued, "I went out to learn the advanced ideas and technologies of foreign countries, and then returned to China to benefit the motherland, what's wrong with this?" Li Xiang was really stunned by her question, he wanted to reply and laugh at the other party for learning a lot of languages after learning technology, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that many foreign things are translated by these people who play languages.
"Bang" Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and a person walking behind Li Xiang fell to the ground, and when they turned around, this person was already lying in a pool of blood, the center of his forehead was pierced, and his eyes were staring, this person may not know how he died until he died, obviously there were people in front and behind, how could this bullet hit him.
