Chapter 25: Antarctic Meteorites (3)
"Let's go find the meteorite!" Lannie suggested. Lan Ni's proposal immediately aroused everyone's interest, and they all nodded in agreement.
At the South Pole of the polar day, the sun does not set, and the deep blue sky reflects the aurora borealis, shimmering with a charming brilliance. Although Antarctica is bitterly cold, it can't stop their enthusiasm for meteorites.
On the snowy Antarctic ice sheet, Vico stepped on an unpowered ice skate, walking at the front of the line, behind the Fosco Palace, in the middle were Lenny Eucalyptus, Brende and Dossie, five people in a column, with a thin rope attached to everyone's waist in the middle, like a string of sugar gourds, because on the Antarctic ice sheet, there are hidden ice cracks, if you accidentally fall, the little life is gone.
They walked along a seemingly smooth ridge of ice, the cold Antarctic winds blowing across their faces like knives, but their enthusiasm remained undiminished.
The unpowered skate spreads its sails and slides forward quickly with the help of the wind. Vico inadvertently looked up at the sky, only to see two small black dots flying towards them quickly. "Ahh It's not good, it's the Antarctic Skua Gull! Vico shouted. He immediately put away the sails, slammed on the brakes, and came to a sharp stop. Before she could react, she screamed and crashed into Vico, "Ah! Vico be careful! Lennie immediately stepped on the brakes, but it was too late, and with a "poof", Vico was knocked out of the way by Lennie's skate. Vico fell on the ice cap with a wave of pain, but before he could shout, he heard Lenny Eucalyptus screaming "Ah! "Lan Nieu was also knocked away by Brende, who was too late to get behind. Coincidentally, Lannie's petite body landed right on Vico's body. "Ahh Vico screamed and almost fainted. Poor Vico, who was hit and smashed by Lannie Eucalyptus, is really tragic! Fortunately, Brende's ate was fatter, and Dossie in the back bumped into Brende's body, as if he had hit the cotton, and Dossi was hit with an ass squat. Fosko was at the rear, stopped the car in time, and hurriedly ran over to check on Vico and Lannieucalyptus.
Fosko ran up to Vico and Lenny and asked nervously, "Are you all right?" Lannie cried in pain, and Vico was speechless in pain. Seeing this, Fosco quickly helped them up and checked their injuries. Vico's leg was red and swollen, and Lannieu broke her wrist. Fosco took out a first-aid kit from his backpack and carefully treated the wounds of the two men.
At this time, Brende and Dossi also ran over, and Brende stared at Vico and said, "Vico, why don't you hit the brakes without telling us?" Vico had relented, pointed to the sky and said, "The Antarctic skua is eyeing us!" Several people were taken aback.
Antarctic skuas are a fierce and tough birds living in the Antarctic region, they are larger than the average seagull, gray-black feathers, bright black beak, they often lead a group of younger brothers to head penguin eggs, catch lone little penguins, of course, they will attack the Nemo, sometimes, they will directly attack the penguins, with sharp beaks to stab the eyes or neck of the prey, so that the prey loses the ability to resist, and then drag it away and eat.
Dossi was terrified, "Ah! I don't want to be eaten by Antarctic skuas! I'm scared! Fursco looked at the sky as he steadied Dossy, and he saw the two approaching black dots, "It's all right, Dossy, we're here!" Vico stood up with difficulty and said, "Quick! Let's find a low-lying place or an ice wall, and then collect hard stones, ice cubes! Fosco instantly understood what Vico meant, and looked around, "Where is the protrusion, it should be a Xiaoice mountain, where are we going!" He pointed to a jutting snow mound in front of him.
Brende didn't care about blaming Vico at the moment, he knew that the current situation was very urgent, so he came to Vico and squatted down and said, "Quick, I'll carry you away!" ”
A few men picked up the unpowered skate, Brende carried Vicco on his back to clear the way, and several people sped up and skated in the direction that Fosco was pointing. Their hearts beat like drums, and the threat of the Antarctic skua made them feel fear like never before.
