29, One Thousand and One Nights (1)
Song Wenbin sat on the snow in a daze, looking at Huo Yu's figure leaving, everyone was stupid.
Worry, uneasiness, confusion, all kinds of emotions came to his heart for a while, and he could barely breathe.
Suddenly, he thought of something, hurriedly got up and got up from the ground, hurriedly came to the film crew's Hylux, and knocked on the car door.
After a while, director Bowley opened the door and asked, "What are you guys up to?" ”
"What are you doing, let you think of some charters, you let us play freely!" Song Wenbin roared to go back, now that everyone has run away, you are free to play!
Bao Li had never seen Song Wenbin so excited, and he was silent.
Song Wenbin gasped a few times, looked at the indigenous man with an obvious Inuit appearance sitting in the co-pilot in the car, and said to the director: "You guys, immediately go after Huo Yu, stay with her, keep in touch at any time, her mind is not clear now, don't let her run around, follow her!" ”
Bowley nodded and retracted into the carriage. Then, the headlights of Hylux lit up, and he drove all the way forward along the ruts left by Huo Yu.
After watching Bao Li go to chase Huo Yu, Song Wenbin's nervous heart calmed down a little. But he looked around, and then a great confusion followed.
Due to the blizzard, it is almost impossible to see everything around, except for white and white, and in this environment, there is almost no difference between white and black.
The Far North Wasteland magnified people's emotions and made him feel boundless loneliness, which he had never experienced before, and perhaps the two girls experienced this loneliness earlier, so they were so sensitive. He instinctively wanted to grasp something to fight against this huge loneliness, but Huo Yu's departure made him suddenly thrown into a state of helplessness.
After a while, Song Wenbin realized that this was the show, he was in a reality show, and the show wanted him to go to the extreme.
But after awakening, there is even greater confusion.
Go to the pole?
What do you do at the pole?
Pole has a chicken relationship with him.
It doesn't matter anything, it's just to make money so I go to the pole, but why can I make money by going to the pole? Song Wenbin thought about it and found that it was because he was bored.
Because he's fucking bored, he's going to the extreme, he's going to watch shows because he's bored, and they're torturing each other because he's bored.
The thought of this is a thick boredom and exhaustion, and it is hard to imagine that just one thought makes him feel that life is worse than death.
Dragging his confused and heavy shell, he returned to the igloo, where Sutina was sitting in the corner with her arms crossed, looking at him motionless, like a frightened rabbit.
Seeing him come in, she couldn't help but ask, "What about Huo Yu?" ”
"Gone." Song Wenbin said.
He sat down and didn't know what to do, what to think, what to behave.
Sutina slowly stretched out her arms, rubbed over from the narrow snow room, and whispered to him: "I'm sorry, Brother Song, I didn't mean to quarrel with her......"
"Don't say anything."
Song Wenbin said.
Quarrel? You have a lot to do with my quarrels. I just need to go to the extreme, complete the bullshit work of 50,000 a month, fill the hearts of modern people a little, without any emotion, without any distractions, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. That's exactly how misogynistic me survives as a corporate dog.
There was a moment of silence.
Sutina asked in a whisper, "Are you alright?" ”
"Hmm."
Song Wenbin replied in the most effortless way.
Good or bad, what does it matter about these things, he just needs to go to the extreme, whether it is cold, tired, sad.
As soon as you reach the ninety degrees north latitude, the mission is complete. Then he can take the damn money and pay the damn mortgage and die for the rest.
Let's all die.
……
"Brother Song."
Sutina hesitated for a moment and said.
No one answered.
She carefully put her hand on Song Wenbin's arm and asked, "We... What do we do after that? ”
"Go to the pole."
Song Wenbin said expressionlessly.
"Go to the pole."
Sutina repeated.
"Go to the pole." Song Wenbin repeated.
"Just go to the pole?"
"Yes, go to the pole." Song Wenbin said.
"What about Huo Yu..."she couldn't help but ask.
"Huo Yu goes to the pole." Song Wenbin said mechanically.
"Brother Song, are you really okay?" Sutina asked with some concern.
"I'm fine." Song Wenbin said.
Sutina: ......
……
The next morning, the three-day snowstorm finally stopped, and when Song Wenbin and Sutina left the igloo, they saw that half of the wheels of the Dongfanghong tractor were buried under the thick snow.
Even the edge of the car door was frozen by thick ice, and it couldn't be opened at all, Song Wenbin took a shovel for a long time to shovel the ice on the frozen car door.
But after entering the tractor again, he found that the tractor could not start, due to the continuous snowstorm, the tractor was frozen in the air of minus 30 degrees Celsius for several days, and it could no longer catch fire at this moment.
Fortunately, Song Wenbin already has experience in Siberia, and it is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, plus director Bao Li left here to chase Huo Yu, so Song Wenbin easily borrowed a flamethrower from photographer Wei Ning.
After a day of roasting and heating, the frozen engine finally restarted, and Song Wenbin sat back in Sutina's tractor and drove with her towards 90 degrees north latitude.
After the short and fierce quarrel in the blizzard, Sutina seemed a little uneasy, she always tried to do something to Song Wenbin, persuaded him to wear more clothes outside the car, asked him if he wanted a mat in the car, asked him if he wanted to drink water from time to time, and even asked Song Wenbin if he was okay when the car was upside down, as if he was from Paper Lake.
It seemed that doing these things would make her feel a little better.
But Song Wenbin didn't care about what Su Tina did, he only had one thing in his heart to go to the extreme, and he didn't want to think about the rest at all.
Everything is a task, whatever obstacles are solved, Huo Yu will leave when he leaves, as long as he does not hinder him from going to the extreme, he doesn't care.
On this day, the third day after separating from Huo Yu, Song Wenbin and Sutina came to the ice sheet at 88 degrees north latitude, which was only 200 kilometers away from the pole.
Here, the ice surface, which had always been walkable, changed abruptly. I don't know why, but the towering ancient ice blocks stand quietly on the wasteland like churches, intertwined with dogs' teeth. It's like there are a hundred Kimaro who have used the Dance of the Grass Tree here.
Song Wenbin and Sutina sat in the car and saw those towering ice cubes, a little confused.
If they're here for sightseeing, they can't help but praise the beauty of the place, and maybe take out their phones and take pictures.
But now they had to make their way through here to the Pole, and the terrain was so steep that neither of them could do anything.
"Brother Song, this... What should I do? ”
Sutina looked at Song Wenbin and didn't know what to do.
Faced with Sutina's question, Song Wenbin didn't speak and jumped out of the car.
After walking to the edge of those icicles, he felt the huge size of these polar ice barriers more realistically.
If it were the low, frozen shrub that preceded the Arctic ice cap, the rollers in front of this icebreaker tractor might have passed by in a single turn.
But with such a tall ice and dense obstacles, the icebreaker didn't know that it would take until the Year of the Monkey to pass through.
The photographer who followed them also came down, Wei Ning came to Song Wenbin with a few photographers and asked, "This... What should I do? ”
Unlike Bao Li, Wei Ning is very cooperative with Song Wenbin's actions, and when filming with them, he will find a way to solve problems together, and will not just throw troubles to him.
Song Wenbin knocked on these icicles and said, "Is this the only way to go, or does it have to be reckless?" ”
"I don't know." Wei Ning compared the size of these ice barriers and said: "I estimate that our car will not be able to pass, if we break through it hard, the chassis of the car will definitely be broken." ”
In the Arctic, a car is equivalent to life, and the supply and logistics of so many people depend on the convoy, Song Wenbin can't let Wei Ning take such a risk.
Song Wenbin thought for a moment in place and said: "There must be more than this road here, if there is only this road, Huo Yu will definitely stop nearby, and she will not be able to overcome these obstacles." ”
"That's right!" Wei Ning was pleasantly surprised: "We just need to find the road that Huo Yu walked." ”
"Yes, she has those polar dogs to help, and the director's car has an indigenous guide, so she will definitely be able to find her way."
With that, the group dispersed and searched around.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Song Wenbin and the members of the film crew to find some dog feces and Hylux ruts on the ground, which stretched out and disappeared into the ice in front of them along a rough path.
Song Wenbin squatted down and pointed at the feces, looked at the camera and said seriously: "Huo Yu should have taken my dog in this direction, the feces should have been left a day ago, which means that I am not far from her at the moment, if I can catch up with her, I will have a chance to reach the pole before her." ”
Hellish mission, fuck the pole, stupid than the game. Song Wenbin thought to himself.
"But I'm disgusted..."
Wei Ning carried the camera and said: "This road, if you want to say that dog sleds and snowmobiles should be passable, it should be barely enough to cross an off-road vehicle." But it's not realistic for you to want to get through. ”
Song Wenbin looked back at the red giant beast parked in the snow and was silent.
If they are not far from the pole now, if they go around here, they don't know how long they will have to go around. Moreover, in the polar regions, there is no such thing as a road, so you know how many strange obstacles there are, and there are not necessarily no obstacles to going anywhere else.
At this time, Su Tina also got out of the car and asked, "Is Huo Yu just able to walk this way, it seems that we are not easy to walk." ”
Song Wenbin was still thinking of a way normally, but when he saw Su Tina coming down, he immediately changed his face and said inspirationally: "Work hard, you will always think of a way!" We must not be dragged behind by Huo Yu! ”
Su tina looked at Song Wenbin, her eyes were a little strange, and she seemed to be very puzzled by his state of struggle like chicken blood.
But Song Wenbin didn't care, he walked straight to the icebreaker, boarded it, activated the ice crushing roller in front of him, and rumbled on those heavy solid ice.
When you encounter obstacles, you can solve the obstacles, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, so it is natural to be just ice.
……
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
Four days.
Five days.
Six days.
Seven days.
……
For seven days, Song Wenbin and Sutina were like two never-ending robots, driving the icebreaker every day, tirelessly fighting against these ice cubes day and night.
However, after seven days, they had only advanced less than twenty kilometers through the criss-crossed ice. On average, you can only advance less than three kilometers per day, about 150 meters per hour.
This was almost unimaginable in the past travels, even the hardest roads they encountered in Africa, in Siberia, in India, were not so exaggerated. Before such bad road conditions, even the rollers in front of the icebreaker tractor were constantly damaged under high-intensity work.
The endless white wasteland, the sun that never sets, the extremely low temperatures, the constantly broken machines, the never-ending silence and emptiness of an alien world, not even the internet and the signal.
Everything was frantically tormenting and devouring Song Wenbin's sanity, he had never seen such a disgusting trip, and in front of such obstacles, he began to miss his sled dogs infinitely, if it was his dogs, it should be easy to cross these obstacles.
Maybe he's reached the pole by now.
Maybe Huo Yu had already reached the extreme, and what he was doing now was useless.
It's just that he can completely turn himself into a struggle and endlessly roll the North Pole, but Sutina who is traveling with him is no longer good.
On this day, when the two were resting by the wheel, Song Wenbin suddenly heard a sad voice beside him: "Brother Song..."
"What's the matter?"
"I'm not in good spirits."
"You're not in good spirits." Song Wenbin repeated.
"Yes, during the day today, I was in an unconscious state for dozens of minutes, and I didn't know what I was doing for those dozens of minutes......"
After a pause, Sutina choked up sadly, "I thought that coming to the pole might be a very interesting trip, but I was wrong...... I've never seen such a boring trip, every day is either breaking the ice or breaking the ice, or repairing the machine, breaking the ice, repairing the machine, breaking the ice, repairing the machine, and only being able to advance less than twenty kilometers for so many days. I can't stand it, it's boring......"
"Sutina, we have to persevere! Staying the course is victory! Song Wenbin said like the male protagonist in the Shaw Brothers movie model play, his voice was full of Wei Guangzheng.
Su tina looked at Song Wenbin like that, and pleaded sadly: "Brother Song, don't be like this, I'm really scared." ”
"Sutina, don't be afraid! When we encounter difficulties, we solve them! Song Wenbin's tone was full of righteousness.
"You don't want that!"
Sutina couldn't hold on any longer, and sat in the car and cried: "You make me feel very guilty like this, I always think that I destroyed this team and let Huo Yu leave our ....."
Song Wenbin was silent.
After a while, he put away Wei Guangzheng and asked coldly, "What do you want?" ”
"I feel, I feel like I can't hold on."
Song Wenbin thought for a while, turned off the video recorder in the car, and asked, "Are you sleepwalking again?" ”
