Seeing the man getting closer and closer, even in the thick snow that was half a meter deep, he still walked steadily, and he had already reached her in a few steps.
Feng Ling raised his head, his eyes blank.
Li Nanheng looked down at her indifferently, looking at her sitting in the snow wearing a thick coat, like a child wearing adult clothes, and saw her expression as if she hadn't realized it for a long time, cold and cold. His eyebrows moved: "Are you stupid?"
Feng Ling suddenly came back to his senses, looked at him again, then lowered his head to pick up the matches and lighter that fell on the ground, and struggled to get up from the ground. The clothes were too big and too thick, and it was really inconvenient to stand up. She barely stood firm and looked at the man in front of her again, looking at the white mist coming out of the man's mouth to make sure that it was really Boss Li and not some phantom.
"Boss, why are you here..."
Li Nanheng glanced at her stunned expression, turned around and glanced at the surrounding white snow and various steep and icy mountain walls. His indifferent tone seemed a little warmer in this severe cold: "We have Han Jin and Ah Feng who were sent by the Li family to temporarily manage the base. We can't really throw you guys to the Rogers Pass to fend for yourself."
It is not possible to fend for oneself, but for the past two days, everyone has been bored in the tent. When they were sitting together and chatting, a few team members did sigh in the tent and asked whether the leaders of the base thought that they were usually too lazy to work, or that they felt that they were too lazy to do anything. Which mission did not perform well during the operation? It was a group of people who were abandoned or put away by the base. Otherwise, how could they be thrown into such a useless place to garrison, which is worse than those troops stationed at the border or border peacekeeping teams? awful.
No matter how Feng Ling explained it to them, they were still infected by this emotion, which somehow restored their morale. Now they went out to look for rivers to fish, but it is estimated that they still have some complaints about the base in their hearts. .
Now that Boss Li is here in person, all he needs to do is stop here, which is more useful than her explaining a hundred sentences to them.
The boss came here in person, which shows that the base has not given up on them, nor does it ignore them. It can even show how important the garrison mission here is, and the random thoughts of those members can be dispersed in an instant.
"So the boss came here to see everyone and cheer everyone up?" Feng Ling asked again, and at the same time glanced at the car parked not far away. There was no one else in the car, and he actually drove here by himself. .
It was far from the center of Montana. The mountains were high and the roads were far away. It took a long time to drive. Especially the drive up the mountain was very dangerous and could encounter an avalanche at any time. He actually drove here by himself.
Li Nanheng didn't explain, but glanced at the thing in her hand in the cold wind: "What are you doing?"
Feng Ling paused and pointed to the pile of dry firewood on the ground: "I'm trying to think of a way to start a fire. Although the fire-starting tools and equipment I brought here are pretty good, if I really have to live here for three months, those Everything must be used sparingly, otherwise it may be used up in less than a month.”
"Use it when it's used up. The base doesn't just leave you here. Someone will send you the necessary supplies every ten days."
Having said that, Li Nanheng reached out and took the matches and lighter from her hand. Feng Ling watched his action and subconsciously moved the place of the pile of dry firewood.
She doesn't usually smoke, and rarely uses matches or lighters, so she is still somewhat unfamiliar with starting fires.
Although there are outdoor survival trainings in the base, most of them are related to tropical silviculture or forests. She has grown up in a wolf cave since she was a child and has always been very confident about survival in the wild. However, she did not expect that after arriving at the base, her first... Survival in the wild is actually in such a severe cold. Even as calm as Feng Ling, he didn't sleep well last night. He kept worrying, not knowing how he could live in such a cold place for three months.
Li Nanheng squatted down, stretched out his hand to check the fire she placed on the ground, and said calmly: "The ground is covered with snow, and there is thick ice under the snow. Do you want to light a fire on it? Even if there is fire, it will not come out. It will go out in a few minutes.”
As he said that, the man glanced at the two tents not far away: "The tents are also fireproof and coldproof, why don't you take them inside?"
Feng Ling pointed to the vicinity: "I want to find a slightly larger place opposite the tent, and I want to melt all the snow on the ground. After all, the tent is used for rest and living. The firewood and base will be transported here. The coal was burning inside, and I was worried about the danger of coal poisoning."
"Open the tent appropriately for ventilation. If there is flowing air, you will not be poisoned." Li Nanheng moved the firewood on the ground again and lit it directly in two or three strokes.
And sure enough, as he said, the wind was so cold here that the fire was blown out before it even touched the snow below.
The man was still squatting there, checking how thick the ice was in the snow.
Feng Ling stood behind him and looked at the man who was wearing thick black cold-proof clothing like her. She wondered if the size of her clothes was made according to his height and shape. It's so big, and it feels thick and swollen when worn. When I first put it on that day, I walked like a toddler, swaying back and forth. Today I walked more smoothly.
But looking at the spinning clothes on Li Nanheng, they were also very thick clothes, but they were inexplicably not bulky at all when worn on him, and even looked very stylish.
Feng Ling looked at him, then at the trouser legs rolled up three times at his feet, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
The man in front of him stood up, and Feng Ling looked at the pile of dry firewood on the ground again: "Isn't it possible?"
Li Nanheng turned to look at her: "The road is made by people. There is nothing that can't be done. Where are Sanpang and the others?"
"They are tired of eating dry food these days, and they say they want to find the river under the snow-capped mountains, break through the ice and catch some fish to eat."
Li Nanheng took a few steps forward, as if he was walking or measuring how thick the snow and ice were nearby. A few minutes later, he stood a few meters away and kicked open a stone covered with frost and snow on the ground. , said: "When they come back, ask them to get ice-breaking tools to break away the snow and ice within twenty square meters here first. The car you drove should have what the base asked you to prepare. There is no snow or ice on the ground. After that, put those things on, and as long as you maintain them well every day, they won’t freeze within three months.”
It turns out that the things in the car were used in this way. No wonder the person in charge who sent them to Montana said that although he would send them things here regularly, the things in their car could basically be put to full use.
That’s what it meant.
As expected of the XI base, everything is really well prepared.
