Chapter 142: The Blood Thirsty Water Snake (Asking for a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month)

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chu Zihang woke up from his sleep on time.
After lighting up the phone screen, there was no network signal.
He sat up and looked out through the frosty window.
The sun on the horizon is warm, it looks like a boiled egg, it can't warm the ground, and the sky is still gray.
The blizzard has stopped at some point, and the world is so lonely that it is like the world has just opened.
Yesterday's blizzard swept past the Survey Bureau, and many important installations were tilted to the east, and some people were rushing to repair them with repair kits, but it looked like it would take some time.
Boom! Boom!
"Please come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Zihang came back to his senses.
Alyosha pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Good morning, how did you sleep last night?" ”
"Good morning." Chu Zihang nodded slightly, "Not bad." ”
Caesar on the side shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "It's not good." ”
Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar and saw the tiredness in his eyes, with two faint dark circles under his eyes.
He had a rare good night's sleep last night, and he also needs to wear soundproof earplugs on the plane, which is good in the tent camp.
However, for Caesar, who has a "spirit of words and sickles", the sound of wind and snow outside the tent is like slamming the door, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to sleep peacefully last night.
Of course, there may be other reasons.
Caesar looked at Fingal, who was snoring like thunder, and smiled helplessly: "Can you and Teacher Jiang usually sleep in the academy?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Zihang's mouth hooked.
The quality of this waste brother has always been very good, and he can fall asleep as soon as the curtains are drawn and his eyes are closed.
"Senior Brother Alyosha." Caesar looked at the already empty sleeping bag on the side, "Where has Mr. Jiang gone?" ”
Alyosha's expression became strange, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the snowy peak outside the window.
At the highest point of that snowy peak, a lonely figure like pine and bamboo stood there.
Even in the bitter cold of minus 30 degrees, Jiang Yunshou was only wearing a casual suit, draped in a white felt coat like a pigeon's wing.
Beside him, the throat of a white wolf was pierced by him with a sharp straight knife.
A slender palm gripped the long hair of the wolf's neck tightly, and immediately let the white wolf's corpse fall to his feet with a light hand.
"Why did these guys take the initiative to attack the human settlement?" Jiang Shouyun looked around thoughtfully, looking at the dozens of white wolves left around.
The Arctic wolf, also known as the white wolf, is a mammal of the canine family of carnivorous animals, a subspecies of the gray wolf, which can chase its prey at speeds close to 65 kilometers per hour and can run on snow.
The Arctic wolf is usually a leading male wolf who leads twenty or thirty members into a small pack.
Even half-breeds don't want to face them alone, and when you hear a howl on the white ice, you must immediately move back to the nearest camp, even if you can't see the wolf at all.
Because they have an extremely keen sense of smell, they can already smell you when you hear their howls.
Neither legs nor skis can outrun them unless they can escape into a gathering place before they catch up.
Normally, Arctic wolves generally do not actively attack human gatherings, and humans generally do not provoke them.
And the white wolf in Jiang Shouyun's hands is the leader of this group of arctic wolves.
"Roar!"
Several arctic wolves bowed down, grinning at Jiang Shouyun, and let out a low roar from their mouths.
Jiang Shouyun came back to his senses and cast his gaze at the wolves, with an indifferent coldness flowing in his eyes.
"Whew~"
The arctic wolf suddenly shrunk its neck and stepped back with its tail between its legs.
Several arctic wolves turned and ran away, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
The Arctic wolf has lived on the Arctic ice sheet for 300,000 years and is a member of the world's largest wild canine family and one of the most intelligent animals in the Arctic.
Realizing that the gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by numbers, these Arctic wolves, who know the times and are handsome, simply retreat.
"The polar night has come." The young man with facial paralysis came to his side, looked into the distance and said with an expressionless face, "This should be the last sun of the year." ”
When the polar night comes, there will be no sun rising in the Arctic Circle for about six months, and there will certainly be no dawn.
Lighting up the sky is the cyan aurora that shines as brightly as the skirt of a goddess, boundless to the end of the sea and sky.
"You can go to that glacier today, right?" Jiang Shouyun asked softly.
"Carl said, yes." Chu Zihang nodded.
An hour later, several people filled their stomachs, and a dozen Alaskan and Husky and other sled dogs were released by Carl.
"Wow!" They rolled happily on the snow.
The fluffy fur and thick layer of fat of these large dogs allow them to adapt to the harsh environment of the cold and snow, and the warm environment can make them feel uncomfortable.
Chu Zihang and the others changed into thick cold-proof clothing, wore goggles and cotton hats that covered their ears, and installed small oxygen supply devices, food, drinking water, knives and pistols to avoid accidents on the road.
"Teacher Jiang." Alyosha came to Jiang Shouyun's side and greeted him respectfully.
He had already learned the identity of this young "junior brother".
Even though he has graduated for many years, he still has high respect for him.
"Now during the mission, you should call me by my name, or call me Commissioner Jiang." Jiang Shouyun shook his head, "Are the supplies ready?" ”
I don't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.
They encountered too many obstacles along the way, although they were all logical but too coincidental.
"Ready." Carl drove up in his sleigh and smiled, "You can go now." ”
One by one, the sled dogs were tethered to the sleds, quietly waiting for Carl's instructions.
A lot of supplies were loaded onto the sleds, with enough high-calorie food to feed them for half a month, and fuel to keep them warm while they rested.
Jiang Shouyun pressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart, and after finally checking his carry-on equipment, he teased these big dogs with some novelty, and directly sat on one of the sleds.
Chu Zihang and the others got on the other sleds, and the members of the Survey Bureau behind them saluted one after another.
"Let's go!"
With Karl's shout, the sled dogs all ran up, and the sled sped away on the ice.
Jiang Shouyun looked back, and the Survey Bureau was getting farther and farther away, gradually swallowed by the snow and mist.
This snowy field is like a creeping beast, as if there is something lurking in an attempt to choose people to eat.
The white clouds and mist shrouded over the snowy peaks in the distance, a scenery that seems to have only appeared in fairy tales, looks falsely beautiful and frightening.
Behind them, there was only an endless field of ice, and the traces of the snow were soon obscured by frost and snow.
The most striking thing was the red markers on the ice sheet, which were the ones Carl had left last time, and they wouldn't get lost if they followed them.
"Let's hope everything goes well."
In a trance, Jiang Shouyun seemed to be able to hear a faint singing.
It sounds gentle and sweet, like a nursery rhyme by the cradle, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity floods into my heart like flowing water.
His attention was on the snowfield, and he didn't release his psychic pressure perception, so he didn't notice the thick ice beneath the sled.
The long, blue-white figure hid within, silently following them beneath the ice.
Like a pack of bloodthirsty water snakes.
