endless route.

Chapter 118 25. Accident Rate

a few days later.

The cruise ship is close to the Christmas Islands.

Looking far away from the window, Zheng Yun saw a series of large and small islands protruding from the endless ice, with an average height of three or four meters above the sea surface. The scenery is very strange.

View from the boat.

Those islands are brightly lit and dotted in the sea of ​​ice. There are a large number of buildings on the island, like a city built on ice. Combined with the aurora in the sky, there is a sense of fantasy.

The main island of the archipelago is huge and can accommodate millions of people. It is almost a big city. The buildings on the island also fit the theme, like a fantasy island in a crystal ball.

After all, it is a tourist city that receives tens of millions of tourists. The scenery is indeed very good, and now is the peak tourist season, and the entire archipelago is full of lights and bonfires.

There are people everywhere on the ice.

Dense and ants-like.

After a while, the cruise ship stopped slowly, and the tourists on board all put on warm clothes and disembarked one by one with their luggage.

The temperature here is not low.

Cold goggles do not need to be worn.

The further north you go, the colder it gets. First, the higher the altitude, the thicker the ice layer, and second, the higher the latitude. There is a temperature difference every [-] kilometers, and the temperature is lower in the glacier mountains.

Put on your ski suit and go out.

There are some very small snow velvets floating down from the sky. It is not known whether the water vapor in the archipelago city is condensed, or it is blown out from the glacier mountains in the north.

Go down the gangway.

Step on the ice.

Not far ahead is the transit island of the Christmas Islands. There are sleigh cars towing dozens of sleigh carriages, like a small train, waiting to carry these new tourists.

Zheng Yun carried his backpack, randomly found an empty compartment to sit in, looked around, and while admiring the scenery, he felt a little worried. The climate in this place was indeed extreme.

Look up to the northwest.

There are many sleigh cars driving towards the glacier near the main island, like black spots squirming on the white paper, compared with the huge and terrifying glacier giant mountain, it is really too small.

pat.

Several girls got into the car.

They all wore various ski suits, big woolen gloves and earplugs, wrapped hats and covered their faces, and looked sideways at Zheng Yun through the completely reflective snow goggles.

"are not you cold?"

One of the girls asked loudly, she spoke English, and she should be traveling from a western country.

Zheng Yun shook his head slightly.

He didn't even wear a hat.

The whole face is exposed.

After a while, the three girls also tentatively took off their full armor one by one, felt the temperature, and found that it was really not that cold.

"It should be because it's around the city. There doesn't seem to be any wind right now, and a little wind can't blow away the heat."

"That glacier can also block the wind?"

"No wonder this is a tourist area."

Several girls discussed in low voices.

After a while, the sleigh train approached the main island. People who booked rooms here can get off and stay in a big hotel. If you go deeper, there are various pirate-style island hotels.

Zheng Yun didn't get out of the car.

The sleigh train continued on.

This piece of ice in front of the main island is surrounded by tourists who come out to skate, and there are ice trucks responsible for smoothing the ice surface.
In the depths is a row of simple buildings built on the ice, selling wine and food, and a large number of tourists with their own tents, living and camping in the corner of the rock wall of the island.

Passed through a few more islands.

Zheng Yun got off the car in front of a small island.

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Hu Ruihua and the others arrived in the morning and rented a family hotel on the small island. The entire four-storey cottage, with an ice-view room facing the north, can accommodate 25 to [-] people.

The price/performance ratio is very high.

Family travel is much more cost-effective than staying in a hotel.

Zheng Yun stepped on the long steps to the island. The island is more than ten meters above the ice surface. The island is full of family hotels, each with exquisite small houses, and the colors look very comfortable.

Not long after gone.

Huzi and Liu Ming ran to pick up Zheng Yun from the front, their faces were flushed, probably they were playing outside.

"Brother Zheng, are you alone? No one else is here?" Huzi looked behind Zheng Yun.

"Yes, they have other things to do and live on the main island." Zheng Yun made an excuse with a calm expression.

"Brother Hu is still looking for a job, we are skating, will Brother Zheng go?" Huzi asked.

"I'll go back and rest."

Zheng Yun is not very interested in skating.

"Sister Wang, Song Wan, and Xiao Li's fiancée are all here. They went to the main island to buy food and drink." Liu Ming hooked Zheng Yun's shoulder and said, "I asked Song Wan to bring a best friend, who is also our school girl. You have to help brother this time, and support your face."

"You want to save face again? How do you support it?" Zheng Yun couldn't hold back his smile, and Liu Ming did it again.

"Let's just watch how it plays out." Liu Ming sighed.

"Why do college students have so much free time nowadays? Song Wan and her girlfriends don't need to go to class? It's too different from ours." Zheng Yun sighed.

"It's July in Fuen City, and the university is on summer vacation. You don't even know this?" Liu Ming's expression was shocked.

"Brother Zheng, they all brought their female companions, why didn't you bring your sister-in-law?" Hu Zi rubbed his nose and asked.

"I don't have a girlfriend, you misunderstood." Zheng Yun patted Hu Zi, and said, "Why didn't you bring one?"

"I don't either, haha, then I can share a room with you." Huzi immediately burst into joy.

"This won't work." Zheng Yun's expression changed.

"Captain Hu said that we will rent equipment after you come over. Do you need that or something this time?" Liu Ming changed the subject.

He made a gun shape with his hand.

Huzi made a gesture of a rifle.

Zheng Yun looked up to the north, the trend of those glacial mountains is similar to the mountains on land, and there is a sense of danger when looking at them, who knows what is inside.

Mountains and mountains.

rolling.

Magnificent and sacred.

Zheng Yun also did his homework before. There are many native creatures in the iceberg of W-08. Regardless of the ice and snow, there is also an ecosystem inside, and it is very extreme.

There are rift valleys in icebergs.

Below the rift there is marine life.

There is also a hardy biome inside the Rift.

This thing is also very complicated. The warmth of the polar day zone passes through, and the temperature is not as high as that of the low altitude, and I heard that there are many volcanoes there.

The formation of glacial mountains is very complicated. Over the course of tens of thousands of years, the ice layer moved southward with the subglacial ocean currents, accumulated and merged with the continental shelf, and finally became like this.

Although that place is extremely cold.

But definitely not a restricted area of ​​life.

After looking at it for a while, Zheng Yun nodded, then looked back at Huzi: "Is it easy to do in this place?"

"Short ones are easy to deal with. I can't help short ones here. Long ones need to be inquired about. There are several islands around. The local residents should have shotguns in their hands." Hu Zi smiled.

Several people walked into the hotel they rented while talking. Hu Ruihua, who was sitting at the dining table in the lobby on the first floor, immediately came over with a tablet, and sat on the sofa with Zheng Yun:
"There's something wrong with this place."

"The local Rescue Association has so many tasks. The number of tourists who have disappeared in the past three years and have not been found so far is [-], and there are hundreds in the past month."

"An average of 100 people per year, more than [-] people are missing in a month, not counting those who have been confirmed dead."
