328. The only two witnesses
When the "magistrates" of the Arctic Circle were turned into puppets by their secret hands, although the jackals carefully and cautiously "cleared the field", there were still two "eyewitnesses" in nature who witnessed all this.
One is a seal that happens to be ventilating at the mouth of a nearby ice cave, and the other is a lemming that is out foraging under the cover of an ice fortress.
To be exact, the lemmings that are moving underground only "hear", only the seals really see what is happening.
When the two heard about such a "shocking secret", they were so frightened that they went back and fell seriously ill.
The seal's originally round body suddenly became thinner, and his expression was much haggard.
It is struggling in its heart, what should it do, should it make this "secret" public and let everyone know the truth?
Seals are social animals, and they often gather in a dozen or dozens of individuals.
At this time, the seal "patriarch" in the team had noticed this abnormal member of his team.
It moved over to the young seal with a sad face.
The young seal eventually chose to tell the patriarch.
It told what it saw and heard, fifteen and ten.
After hearing this, the patriarch who had seen the great world confirmed that it was correct, and then left quickly with a serious face, and went to call on the patriarchs of other groups to hold a collective meeting.
Normally, their group meetings are mostly only held during the courtship breeding season, when a "big blind date" is held for the single seals in the colony.
At the same time, the lemming, which could not endure the inner struggle, also told its elders the secret he had heard.
Although lemmings are at the bottom of the ecological food chain in the Arctic, they are surprisingly fecund.
It is also because of their presence that many carnivores in the Arctic have survived.
Lemmings like to live underground, and their underground transportation routes are very well developed, so this "secret" soon spread throughout the underground world like wings.
The underworld is not only inhabited by lemmings, but also other creatures such as snow rabbits who like to burrow dwelling.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and this matter soon spread in the small animal world.
And the seals have spread the news to the entire Arctic Circle, and then the passing whales, walruses and other marine animals have been carried farther away.
……
The mother polar bear, who was rescued by Tang Qinqin, dragged a shivering seal to the crowd.
There were no scars on its body, but it was forced by the blood pressure brought by the polar bear next to it, and its body trembled and kept swinging.
The players don't know why, but the polar bear sees this and pushes the seal forward again.
"Isn't it trying to give us the seal as a gift?"
Lan Lan's eyes lit up.
This is a polar bear who has come to repay the favor!
"A gift for us?"
Tang Qinqin was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the polar bear that was looking at them.
The polar bear, who was full of gratitude to her and trusted her very close to her, seemed to understand what she meant, nodded again and again, and then shook his head.
"This?"
It's incomprehensible.
Tang Qinqin released his psychic ability, and only then did he understand what it meant.
"He said he heard the seal say something very strange, that it had spread all over the surrounding seas, and that it thought it was strange and brought it to meet us."
After explaining the polar bear's general meaning, Tang Qinqin set his eyes on the little poor seal.
"Don't be afraid, you know something, can you tell me?"
Tang Qinqin saw that it was trembling all the time, and he couldn't bear it, so he gently stepped forward and touched its smooth head.
At the time, she didn't know that the baby seal would bring "explosive" news.
With a strong affinity for psychic ability, Tang Qinqin's closeness to this human did not disgust the seal, but its nervous heart slowly retracted its stomach.
A voice in his heart told him that at least in front of this human, the terrible bear would not eat it.
Thinking so, it spontaneously moved a few steps in Tang Qinqin's direction.
After moving, he subconsciously turned his head and cautiously glanced at the polar bear that was eyeing it.
The polar bear snorted coldly, turned around and walked leisurely to see his cub.
Its life is no longer the "poor" and "hungry and cold" it used to be, the environment is improving, the hunting is easier than before, there is no shortage of food, survival is guaranteed, its physical condition is getting better and better, and its cubs are also better cared for.
And to have these is the result of the efforts of this group of human beings behind them.
Tang Qinqin calmed the seal for a while, it squinted in enjoyment, and then finally organized the language and said the "rumors" he had heard.
"Really?!"
When Lao Tian heard this, although he had subconsciously believed a little bit in his heart, he was a little skeptical.
Tang Qinqin was also a little puzzled, if it was true, how could the source of vitality be untouched?
But now that this statement has spread all around, it is likely that it is not groundless, and they must pay attention to it, and they must investigate whether it is right or not.
I am not afraid of 10,000 in everything, but I am afraid of what happens.
However, the construction of the Arctic world will continue until the matter is conclusive.
"Can you take me to meet your 'patriarch'?"
Tang Qinqin touched the well-behaved seal under her again, and asked softly.
If this is true, then without further ado, we must hurry up and find a way, and maybe there will be a chance to save the Arctic Circle magistrate.
The seal nodded, patted its belly, and after a rhythmic "percussion" like a drum, the bento plunged headlong into the water.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'll go and come back."
Tang Qinqin turned around to soothe Tang's father and Tang's mother, who looked worried, and then quickly changed into a thickened diving suit.
Yan Kong's killer whale fart swam over and motioned for Tang Qinqin to sit on its back.
"Qin, I'll go with you."
Lan Lan also wants to interact with killer whales, and she likes this big guy with a classic black and white color scheme.
Song Yuanze, who was silently wearing a diving suit: ...... No, you don't want to go.
The corners of Mengru's mouth, who have always been cold, twitched, and she fished back the "superfluous" little sister.
"Things are still uncertain whether they are true or not, Qin Qin is just going to inquire first, what are you going to do, wait honestly, Qin Qin will contact us if there is a situation."
Lan Lan, who has already reacted, "hehe" Yile, oops, almost "hated"!
In the end, Song Yuanze proudly served as Tang Qinqin's "official partner", and took the "killer whale" to the first stop, the seal family gathering place.
"Lan Lan, when they come back, I will sit with you once."
Yamanai thought that Lan Lan was not disappointed in his heart, and thought that he came over quietly to comfort him.
"Huh? Do what? ”
Lan Lan didn't understand for a while, her eyes widened and she was stunned.
This ignorant expression fell into Yamana's eyes, and he only felt cute and charming.
"Ahem." He felt the heart in his chest pound and coughed lightly to cover it.
"As for killer whales, don't you like killer whales very much......"
"Oh. But, but, who said I wanted to be with you! ”
Lan Lan suddenly felt a burst of heat on her face, and subconsciously hid behind Mengru.
"Tool man" Mengru looked at this and that, and her eyes revealed the unfathomable profundity of seeing through everything.
