"On January 30, 2021, the weather in the Ross Sea was still so gloomy. I don't know when it started. There is no difference between day and night. Life on board is very boring, but I think I will see the magnificent Antarctic in two days. The scenery makes it feel like everything is worth it.”
The lower cabin of the Yermak was filled with turbid air, and there was water seeping from the ceiling in the dark, and there was a clear sound of water droplets.
On the single bed, Zhang Erya curled up in the corner, her slender and fair fingers beat on the screen of her mobile phone, and the shimmering light hit her face with distinct features, giving her a different kind of beauty.
After a pause after editing the message, he tucked his phone under his pillow.
After doing all this, Zhang Erya breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped her knees with her hands, and quietly looked at the dark clouds at the porthole.
Except for the sound of ice cubes breaking, the cabin was silent.
dong dong!
At this moment, the cabin door was knocked suddenly.
Zhang Erya looked up, a little nervous in her eyes.
Temporary shelter at the new station in Ross Bay.
Shao Zifeng walked out of the cafeteria with dark circles under his eyes, dragging his tired body.
Because it was very close to the departure time, he put on the two-piece suit in advance, and then he would put on the protective suit and then set off.
Although Ross Bay can't tell the difference between day and night, according to the time on the wall, it is now 7:30 in the morning, and it has only been more than two hours since the training ended.
"Morning, Junior Brother Zifeng."
At this time, Yang Qi with fluffy hair came towards him. He was wearing a loose nightgown and slippers on his feet, and he didn't look like he was awake.
"Morning." Shao Zifeng looked him up and down: "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet, aren't you going to leave later?"
"Yawn~"
Yang Qi yawned and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"You said this, didn't the professor say in the group to postpone the departure one day? Did you see it?"
"Cough, my phone is broken, so."
Yang Qi showed a stunned expression, looked at Shao Zifeng with dark circles under his eyes, and said with concern: "Go get a good night's sleep, get enough energy and leave tomorrow."
"Then let me say this first, I'm going to dinner. See you soon, Junior Brother Zifeng."
After Yang Qi left, Shao Zifeng shook his head helplessly looking at his windbreaker.
Just after returning to the room and opening the door, two red dots suddenly lit up in the dimly lit room.
Then a dark shadow flashed past and rushed towards him with hot wind.
"Wow~"
pat!
The lights in the room came on, Shao Zifeng looked at the ball lying on his face and biting his nose.
They both stared at each other.
Don't say it.
Does it feel comfortable to bite on your clean gums
"Okay, don't make trouble."
Shao Zifeng held Qiuqiu's neck and lifted it up, and the little guy kicked his legs with his teeth and claws.
This is the fourth time he has attacked himself since he played the game of tail flicking with him yesterday.
"You don't have to leave today, can I stay with you for a day!"
"Hey!!"
Qiuqiu suddenly stopped struggling and looked at him with joy.
"Of course I'll sleep with you all day!"
Shao Zifeng hooked the door with his foot, and threw himself onto the bed with the ball in his arms.
In the state of Xiaolu's confusion and Qiuqiu's protest, he got into the bed with one in one hand.
"Don't make trouble, go to sleep."
"Hey!!"
Qiuqiu protested with his two small paws.
"Whoever doesn't sleep is a puppy."
Ball: ∪ω∪wang
Shao Zifeng: . . .
Deer: (￢_￢)
the next morning.
Construction crews at the new Ross Bay station have begun work, with various cranes rumbling.
The Star Dragon Banner rattled in the icy cold wind, adorning this pale land with a little other color.
Because of the shelter of the ridge, the wind on the square is not so strong.
Shao Zifeng and others came to the square early to gather. There were 13 all-terrain snowmobiles neatly parked in front of them, and a transport sled was towed behind each snowmobile.
Aside from necessities like tent food, the transport sled is mostly fuel and gathering equipment.
In Antarctica, there is no shortage of water. Just find a place to dig a little ice and snow to melt and boil it and drink it.
Chen Yixin was surrounded by seven soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army, and the fully armed people could only identify each other by the name outside the protective suit.
"In the next few days, we will challenge a feat that no one has ever done before." Chen Yixin's voice sounded in the cold wind: "We are going to ride an all-terrain snowmobile across the Antarctic continent to reach Antarctica. the extreme."
Everyone looked at the only woman in the team, with reverence, admiration and longing in their eyes.
In addition to Huo Fengjun, Shao Zifeng and Cang Haiyuan, the people who chose to accompany Chen Yixin to realize this crazy idea were all made because of her talent.
Crossing the forbidden area of life, let alone those researchers who stay in the laboratory all day, even explorers and extreme sports enthusiasts may not have the courage.
Chen Yixin looked around the crowd: "We may experience all kinds of hardships along the way, we may encounter unrecorded hurricanes, the attack of mutant creatures, the lack of survival materials, and there may even be companions who stay on the Antarctic continent forever. ."
"Of course, this also includes me!" She said this and took a deep breath: "So let me make one last confirmation, does anyone want to quit."
After saying these words, Chen Yixin's chest heaved slightly.
In the square, except for the howling cold wind and the roar of the machine running, no one spoke.
"Confirm it again for the last time, there will be no turning back after the departure."
"Has anyone opted out."
After waiting for a while, the corners of Chen Yixin's mouth under the windproof mask slightly curled up.
"Very good, no matter what the outcome of this trip is, our names will always be engraved in the history of Daxia. No matter what status you participate in, now we all have the same identity, that is, the pioneers of human exploration."
"I, Chen Yixin, swear here that if someone is unfortunate enough to sleep in Antarctica, I will carry him out even if I carry it on my back."
"Unless I die, I will never abandon anyone."
Very nice.
Shao Zifeng touched his nose and looked at the figure talking in front of him.
Chen Yixin, this girl is a bit powerful today.
After these words, even his salted fish had the urge to turn over.
Shao Zifeng admires Chen Yixin's final promise. Unlike other places in the polar regions, after death, the body will freeze very quickly and become very heavy.
In this case, many people will choose to leave the corpses of their companions in place, because if they want to take them on the road together, it is very likely that everyone will finish playing together.
You must know that there are more than 200 corpses on the famous Everest.
They were all climbers who died on the way to the top, but no one would say to carry them down for burial.
Dare to make such an oath, I respect you as a man!
"Everyone get dressed, let's go!"
After she finished speaking, she pulled down her helmet mask and stepped onto the snowmobile first.
The others stepped onto one each, and the roar of the locomotive sounded in the square for a while.
The all-terrain snowmobile rolled up snow and smoke, and the group of people gradually disappeared.
(PS: The home is renovated today, and then it may not be so much, try your best.)
