278. Natural survival competition
In the cold wind and snow weather, the wordless warmth between the two seemed to dilute the biting coldness.
Some players glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of smiles.
After eating and resting, the group set out on their way.
I thought that even if the bad weather made it difficult to find the person, I would be able to find the "outcast" brother in two days at most.
No one expected that this trip would take seven days.
……
The weather in Antarctica is not as cold and harsh as it is claimed.
It has been 24 hours since the punishment time, and the sky is still full of snow and cold wind.
The three Lao Tian and the penguin family stayed where they were, looking forward to the safe return of the "pillars" who went out to hunt.
And in the cold sea in the distance, a fierce and brutal one-sided battle for survival is unfolding.
Many predator seals, the predators of penguins, lurking in the shadows of the ice floe, rushed from their hiding places after the penguins descended to hunt for food, and several of the penguins were quickly reduced to their plates.
Seeing this, the remaining penguins quickly fled in all directions, not forgetting to swallow the food that swam to their mouths as they fled.
Even if this is a cruel choice of fate of life or death, the "family" who is still waiting for them to return with food is obviously extremely important.
After a fierce chase, by the time the surviving penguins finally returned to the ice in embarrassment, the original team had shrunk by nearly half.
Even though they have been exposed to the cruel competition for natural survival since childhood, the loss of their companions still makes them uncontrollable to let out bursts of wail.
When the calm sea was restored, there was no more movement, and then they gathered their minds and set out on the way back despite the wind and snow.
When Lao Tian and the penguin family finally looked forward to bringing them back, they faced the fierce competition for survival in the natural environment, and the three of them felt very uncomfortable.
In order to escape, the surviving penguins brought back limited food, and after giving priority to feeding the chicks who were waiting to be fed, the remaining female penguins were stuffed between their teeth and their stomachs were not padded.
Naturally, the three big men didn't need to share the food that the little animals had worked so hard to bring back.
After losing a lot of their companions, the male penguins, who were still hungry, took a break and planned to continue foraging.
The cold season in Antarctica has begun.
The weather is too cold to get cold day by day, and they need to hunt enough food to store thick fat to withstand the cold.
This time, Lao Tian wanted to go with them.
First, out of the desire to help, he really couldn't bear to see them continue to break; The second is that I also want to explore the way and stock up on some fresh food by the way.
It is said that Antarctic krill is a good thing, with high nutritional value, and it is widely distributed and in large quantities, and he wants to try it for his brothers to taste it whole.
Well, of course, the actual initial starting point was that he himself was a little greedy......
The other two male players were a little hesitant about this proposal, and Lao Tian persuaded him when he saw this: "You two stay here and follow them, maybe our brothers will come over soon." I'll go with them. ”
With that, he patted the two of them on the shoulder, turned around and strode to follow the penguin team that set off again.
Perhaps because there is a "chosen penguin" in the family, and there has been a short contact for most of the day, this group of emperor penguins is very tolerant of them as humans, and can also understand some simple body language.
They turned around and saw Lao Tian coming up, flapped their short wings, and continued to drive against the wind.
Following behind the penguins, you can see their cute walking posture more intuitively.
No matter how strong and cold the cold wind was, it couldn't stop Lao Tian from looking at it, and his mouth became more and more closed.
Well, what a bunch of cute little things.
I don't know what happened to his goose, I haven't seen him for so long, but don't forget him heartlessly......
……
The Penguin Emperor struggled to move forward, looking up from time to time to adjust his direction.
Not far behind it, followed by a big fat goose that almost blends in with the environment.
At first glance, it looks like a flower padded jacket floating in the air in a strange way.
I don't know where the stupid man who shoveled for it is, and if it's good.
Really, without it, can that stupid man take care of himself?
Suddenly a little regretful, if it had known that it was going to face this blizzard and face this "parting", it would definitely not refuse to give its stupid man an early end to the punishment time because of its hard mouth.
Just thinking about his thoughts, his feet were unstable and he stumbled, and the big fat goose fell on the snow in embarrassment.
The player who caught up behind hurriedly came over and helped it up.
"Gah." It flapped its wings and thanked gracefully.
These humans are all brothers of the shovel officer, and it is also his blessing to be able to come out in such weather without complaint to find that stupid man.
It had to be nice to them for that stupid man.
Don't be disliked.
……
Xiao Qi's physical image is fatter and bigger than before.
At this time, he was lying in Tang Qinqin's arms, looking at the white world in front of him with a curious expression.
It was the first time that he felt what "cold" was, and he was curious about his body being shivering by the cold wind.
Forgive it for being used as a virtual data code, but it is not skilled enough to become a "life" that actually has a physical body and a heartbeat, and to master the basic business of this body.
Seeing that it insisted on snuggling in his arms to feel the cold wind of Antarctica, Tang Qinqin had no choice but to let it.
I just put a warm red cat cloak on it.
Obsidian doesn't like the cold, and is lazily cross-legged in the companion space at the moment.
The climate in the accompanying space has always been like spring, which is very suitable for the growth of all things, so that it is lazy and rotten.
It had bunches of stockpiled food, and it couldn't go hungry even if it slept through the winter.
Only when Tang Qinqin needed it to provide spider silk did he get up and "work".
The meow team and the Wang Wang team in the companion space have produced a lot of cat and dog hair, which have been used by Xiao Qi, who is curious about human manual work, to practice "claws" and become all kinds of "meow/wang felt".
Song Yuanze's cockatiel is also afraid of the cold, and has been hiding in the companion space since they set foot on the Antarctic continent, and they can't care about continuing to brush their sense of existence in front of Tang Qinqin.
When he was forcibly dragged out, he trembled like chaff, his body shrank and hit the pendulum, and he couldn't wait to get into Song Yuanze's thick cotton jacket.
Attract the joy of everyone.
"How long will this windy weather last? Little Seven? ”
Tang Qinqin asked.
The cat in his arms, looking at the world with a curious face, lazily raised one of its front paws, and then a plum blossom bloomed.
Tang Qinqin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
It was so cold that my toes were frozen.
There had never been a moment when she looked forward to the sun so much, missed it so much......
