Big Islander 2

Chapter 299 Jingle Bells

The vast ice field, as far as the eye can see, is silvery white. Apart from the blue sky, white is the main color of this world.However, on the silver-white ice cap, there are small black dots moving forward one after another.

Those are female emperor penguins one by one, they are taking staggering steps, measuring this ancient continent.Endure the high cold, face the new wind, and move forward firmly.

Among the hundreds of emperor penguins, there were two figures.Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami had already abandoned the inflatable boats, each carried a big burden on their bodies, stepped on a sled under their feet, and moved forward with the group of penguins.

Both of them were wearing orange-red winter clothing, which was particularly conspicuous among the penguins.So far, they have been traveling with the penguin colony for a week.At the beginning, Tang Jide thought the speed of the penguins was too slow, but now, he can only barely follow the penguins out of breath, and may fall behind at any time.

In this icy and snowy land, no plants grow, Big Brother's abilities are greatly suppressed, and he finally becomes a mortal again.

But the penguins have always maintained the original speed, neither deliberately speeding up the pace, nor slowing down, step by step, calm and firm.After the pheasant poked its head out for a look, it couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, there is no longer road than the feet—"

Finally, I hoped that the sun would draw a small arc in the northern sky, and the sky would gradually darken.However, because the surroundings are surrounded by ice and snow, it doesn't look too dark, hazy, even in the polar night, it probably looks like this.

The penguins, who had been trekking for a day, finally stopped. They were crowded together one by one, which reminded Tang Jide of the steamed bean buns during the Chinese New Year in his hometown, and the dense bean buns placed in the pot.

Finally, I can rest——Tang Jide took out a piece of combustible ice, and then collected materials locally, shaved a piece of ice and threw it into the pot, boiled a pot of hot soup, and drank it with Xiao Xiami and Da Xing. There was only a trace of heating.Looking at those penguins, they haven't eaten since they left the coast—there is no food for them on the ice sheet.

After eating a few nuts, Mr. Pheasant also shrank his neck and sighed: "Living in this continent is really not easy!"

"Survival is not easy. Although the environment in Antarctica is harsh, it is the place with the fewest natural enemies for these penguins, so it becomes a paradise for emperor penguins." Except for a little red face, Xiao Xiami was not affected too much. Wherever there is life, she can stay alive.

Tang Jide nodded, and then took out three sleeping bags: "Go to sleep, the old rules, it's better to squeeze with the penguins."

It is said that on the first night of entering the ice field, Tang Jide was not used to squeezing bean buns with the penguins, so he was almost frozen into a zombie. It seems that in this ice and snow field, only relying on the strength of the collective can survive.

Fortunately, the penguins are still very accepting of these aliens. Doudou even wants to get into Tang Jide's sleeping bag for an interview, but the capacity of the sleeping bag is limited, so Tang Jide can only be cruel and push this guy away. go out.

The Antarctic night is truly quiet, as if the whole world has disappeared.Tang Jide slowly closed his eyes, slowed down his breathing, his heartbeat also gradually slowed down, and the activities of various organs in his body were also reduced to the minimum.This is also the experience he summed up after entering the ice field: in this state, the consumption of the body is greatly reduced.

He even had a feeling that even if he didn't eat or drink, it didn't matter if he stayed in this state for a few months.

The trip to Antarctica is not in vain, and he has learned to hibernate——Tang Jide smacked his lips and gradually fell asleep.In his dream, he returned to Peach Blossom Island and saw little girl Tiantian dancing in the peach blossoms...

A piercing howl cut through the peaceful Antarctic sky.There was a commotion among the penguins, and Tang Jide woke up from his dream, climbed out of his sleeping bag, and looked around.Just now, he clearly heard a sound similar to howling wolves. Could it be that there are wolves in Antarctica?

It has to be said that wolves are indeed a population with super survivability. They can survive even in the harsh environment of the Arctic, so theoretically speaking, they can also survive in the Antarctic.Penguins are not very aggressive animals, so they should be their best food.

Little Xiami also got out of the sleeping bag a long time ago, and quickly jumped into the air, tapped the penguins lightly with his toes, and galloped towards the east.Apparently, the wolves appeared over there.

But Tang Jide couldn't use Dengping's ability to cross the water now, so he could only reluctantly take out a purple golden pill from the pitcher and throw it into his mouth.With no plants around, he had to rely on drugs to sustain himself.

Watching Xiao Xiami and Tang Datou fly away one after another, and Da Xing shrank back into the sleeping bag, he was really reluctant to leave the warm bed.

Leaving the penguins behind, in the hazy night, Tang Jide finally saw a few figures galloping in front of him. They were animals with long cyan fur and shining green light from their eyes. Whether it is the eyes or the fangs, they all show their identities - wolves!
There are really wolves——Tang Jide moves his arms and legs, ready to fight.With limited ability, he also had to be extra careful not to capsize in the gutter.

Running to a distance of more than ten meters from them, the wolves stopped in unison, examining the two humans in front of them with vigilant eyes.They have hunted penguin colonies before, but never in this situation.

During the stalemate, Tang Jide yelled: "This group of penguins is now covered by us, if you are sensible, get out, Big Brother hasn't done any good deeds today!"

Of course the wolves didn't come to collect protection fees. They came here to survive, so they had to do their best. Two wolves rushed out immediately, bared their teeth and growled, approaching Tang Jide.

At this moment, Xiao Xiami's voice sounded like heaven: "You are not wolves, but the most loyal friends of mankind!"

The two wolves remained indifferent, with a fierce gleam in their eyes.Tang Jide couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and finally grabbed the hat: "Little Xiami, you can't reason with the wolf, otherwise you will become Mr. Dong Guo."

Little Xiami blinked his eyes wide: "They are not wild wolves, they are simply a group of husky dogs. They may have been brought to Antarctica by the former scientific expedition team, and they became stray dogs for some reason, and thus multiplied. Because in Antarctica On the mainland, there is no sign of wolves at all."

Huskies and wild wolves are quite similar in appearance, so that there have been farces where huskies were killed as wolves. Anyway, the big brother can't tell the difference between them, but looking at the two guys in front who are ready to go, this is The rhythm of eating people, how could it be a dog?
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo , Tang Jide was surprised to find that this guy's tail was wagging, and his eyes were no longer fierce. Instead, it was like a pet dog seeing its owner.Tang Datou couldn't help shaking his head: It seems that he is really a Wang Xingren——

The big dog happily ran up to the little Xiami, raised its two front paws, placed them on the little Xiami's shoulders, then stuck out its tongue, and greeted the little girl's face.

Little Xiami hugged its neck. On this deserted road, it is not easy to meet animal companions. Perhaps, this is fate.

Tang Jide also came over, and the leading husky was more affectionate to him.Brother Big Head glanced at its belly, feeling very discouraged. It was indeed a female wolf—or a female dog.

It seems that this bitch should be the leader of the pack, maybe it used to be a partner of the scientific expedition team, so the nature of being close to humans makes it very excited at the moment, jumping up and down, shuttling between Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami; Its descendants should have never had contact with humans. If they reproduce for a few more generations, they will completely become wild wolves.

At the beginning, these guys were wary of Xiao Xiami's call, but they soon became timid; especially when Xiao Xiami released the life essence, these huskies started to circle around the little girl, shaking slightly jerky tail.

The commotion of the penguins gradually returned to tranquility, but Doudou swayed closer.Those second-generation dogs immediately put on an offensive posture, but the life essence on Doudou made them feel familiar and close, and in the end they did not attack, but licked Doudou's sharp beak one by one. Licking, it's a greeting, and we've been friends ever since.

In the end, these huskies even started to roll in the ice and snow, revealing their belly with very dense white hair, which is a sign of complete familiarity.While stroking their bellies, Little Xiami discussed with Uncle Big Tou, "Can we ask them to join our team?"

Tang Jide was a little troubled: "These mouths are all for food. It seems that our supplies are not enough?"

Little Xiami blinked his eyes wide: "But if we keep them here, maybe a huge pack of wolves will appear in Antarctica in a few decades, and it will really bring disaster to these emperor penguins. "

Now, Tang Jide finally understands why dogs are forbidden to set foot on the Antarctic continent, so he can only nod his head, and comfort himself: "At last, I can ride a dog sled—"

But if you want the horses to run, you have to feed the horses; and these huskies are obviously not vegetarian, so Brother Big Head can only reluctantly take a piece of meat from the pitcher and share it with them.As a result, when he was sleeping in the middle of the night, these huskies were closely united around him, as if he was afraid that the dog owner would run away.

Moving forward the next day, Tang Jide finally enjoyed the long-awaited dog sledding.Split the rattan whip into several strands and put them on the dogs respectively, and they pulled hard in front.Brother Datou hugged Daxing, and Dama sat on it with a sword, feeling very uncomfortable.At this time, he finally fully accepted these new members.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells. What a joy to ski tonight, and we're sitting on the sleigh—" The pheasant also stretched out its head, humming in its broken voice.

Little Xiami didn't follow the booing, she walked slowly with the penguin colony, not wanting to burden the dogs.Soon, her big eyes were full of smiles, because the sled rolled over when driving over a slope, and both Uncle Big Tou and Big Star fell into the snowdrift.And those huskies with obvious rough skills are still running forward with all their strength...
