Chapter 48: A Terrible Blizzard (5)
As they crossed an open ice field, they suddenly found a huge black shadow in front of them, densely packed with emperor penguins, and they were tightly encircled, using each other's body temperature to resist the bitter cold in the snowstorm. The emperor penguin nodded at them, then turned and walked into the penguin colony. Lan Niyu and the others glanced at each other and hurriedly followed. A few emperor penguins hurriedly dodged away and surrounded Vic and the others in a colony of penguins.
Suddenly, a warmth came from the surroundings, "It's so warm!" Brende said involuntarily. "That's how emperor penguins survive the cold, huddle each other together, wrap the baby penguin and the penguin eggs inside, and bury their heads in their chests. "I didn't expect the penguin's fur to be so soft and warm." "You haven't been to the center of the penguin colony yet, where the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius and it will definitely bake you dry!" Fusco looked surprised, "Oh my God! Forty degrees, that's high! Lannie snorted triumphantly, "Of course! Why don't you try it! Fusco hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't go!" Don't go! What if you bake me! After speaking, he turned his head and saw Vico's worried and uneasy look, "Vico, don't worry, when the storm is a little smaller, we will go on the road immediately." Vico nodded silently.
They huddled in a flock of emperor penguins, feeling the warmth of their companions. Although the wind and snow were still outside, the fear and uneasiness in their hearts were slowly dispelled by this warmth. Victor put himself on Lannie's shoulder and whispered, "I don't know if there's anything wrong with Millie, if they're hiding in the penguins, then ......." Lannie gently patted Vico's back and comforted, "Don't worry, I think they'll be fine." ”
Suddenly, they felt the ice beneath them begin to tremble, followed by a loud bang. There was a frightened cry from the flock of emperor penguins, and they jumped to their feet and looked around in horror. Lannie looked nervously at Vico, and Fosco held his hand tightly. Brende looked nervously outside, and then suddenly shouted, "It's the iceberg that has collapsed!" ”
They immediately became nervous, and the wind and snow outside became even stronger, as if it was about to swallow everything. The emperor penguin flock began to scatter in all directions in a panic, "Run! Vico shouted as he realized the danger. They were also forced to leave the warm colony of penguins and follow the emperor penguins towards the shore. Cracks in the ice stretched beneath their feet, and each tremor made them tremble.
Just as they were about to run to shore, Vico suddenly slipped and fell into the icy ocean. Fursco exclaimed, "Vico! Seeing this, Lannie jumped down, grabbed Vico, and pulled her back to shore with the help of Fosco and Brende. Fusco said eagerly, "Vico, are you alright?" Are there any injuries? Brende also said with concern: "Quick, let's find a place to change your wet clothes, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Vico and Lannieu looked at the hard clothes on their bodies, and shivered from the cold, fortunately, the Nemo people are not afraid of the cold, but in this extremely cold Antarctic continent, hypothermia will still take their lives. Fusko looked up and saw an ice cave looming in front of them to the right.
Fusco pointed to the ice cave and said anxiously, "There's an ice cave over there, let's go and avoid it, and you guys change into dry clothes." They didn't care about anything else, and quickly ran towards the ice cave.
The ice cave was filled with humid cold air, but at least it gave them shelter from the wind and snow for a while. Fosco said as he rummaged through his backpack, "Brende, take out the compressed blanket and towel, and quickly dry the bodies of Vico and Lannieucalyptus." Brende propped up Vico and Lannie on a dry stone, and hurriedly replied, "Okay! I brought a super thick blanket this time. Fosco and Brende worked together, with Fosco taking out the flint and lighting the coal heating lamp he had brought, while Brende turned out a thick dry towel and compressed blanket to replace Vico's wet clothes.
Lannieu was the only girl, embarrassed to let Brende help her, and embarrassed to change clothes in front of a few boys, she immediately blushed, and after Fusco lit the coal heating lamp, she took out the simple tent and said, "Lannieu, you go to the tent to change clothes, be quick!" Otherwise, you'll get frostbitten. ”
