Chapter 12 Fighting Forbidden Lands
Gao Xiaoya stood up, took out a plastic bag from her backpack, and then took out a wrinkled shirt from it.
The shirt was obviously a man's style, she carefully spread it out and handed it to the head of the sled dog.
We all understand immediately that she and him knew each other before, and that dress belonged to Dr. Lin!
The weird man squatted down and touched the dog's chin, letting it smell the clothes carefully, and then waved to us to bring all the equipment. As soon as he let go, the sled dog rushed out!
Our snowmobile was greatly damaged and could no longer drive, so everyone transferred the load to the little prince's car, carrying only some personal objects, chasing Dr. Lin's smell, scattered and started running wildly!
It is so sunny here that although so many of us follow the search of sled dogs, we can't hear any sound when we step on the permanent ice.
But in a seemingly far away place, there were faint sounds of buzzing and dull collisions.
Ermazi guessed that it was the courtship song made by male walruses hiding at the bottom of the Arctic sea. During the whole year, their breeding season was only a short spring and summer months, so in the pursuit of females, Arctic creatures had to be particularly active!
As she said, she glanced at the little prince secretly. My sensitive gossip cells were immediately full of vitality. Could it be that they had an affair?
But no matter how joking, I think that strange sound is not something that animals can make... We were sweating all over. The iceberg group in the forbidden area was too vast and too complicated. We shuttled left and right in the cracks of the mountains. Without a map, we didn't know where we were!
Mr. Dong’s compass has also become a decoration. The place is affected by the Arctic magnetic field, and the turntable is disordered. There is also a very interesting phenomenon: our location is the northernmost part of the world. Here, we are equivalent to standing at the extreme, so there is actually no "direction" to speak of, because no matter where you point, that direction is "south".
90 degrees north latitude means that the south is in front, back, left and right. If you turn around in place, it is equivalent to a week around the world!
However, with a dog around us, we are still more secure. At least we can definitely find some clues about Dr. Lin!
But the good times didn't last long. We were full of expectations and were smashed by the mouse running in front of us with a "**" and I stopped beside him panting, stretched my head and cursed fiercely!
We worked so hard to run so far. I originally thought that the sled dog would take us through the territory of the iceberg group, but I didn't expect that the yellow snowmobile that was driven to scrap by Erjos actually appeared in front of me again!
"This prodigal dog is completely out of tune..." Ermao kicked away the headlight fragments scattered on the ground, "Let's let it play, and it's back!"
When I saw the reaction of the sled dog, it was not affected by the thought of spinning in place. It still shook its big tail wildly and was excited to run forward. If it weren't for the weird guy pressing it desperately, it would have jumped out long ago!
"Miss Gao, did you get the wrong dress? Are you sure it was Lin Zheyu's?" Dong Huang turned around and asked, "What did this dog come back after smelling something?"
"It's his, the taste will definitely not be wrong!" Gao Xiaoya was also very anxious. She took out the shirt again and wanted to sniff the sled dog again. "Is he wearing the old lady's coat covering the smell?"
The weird man scratched the dog's head, and he sniffed the old shirt a few times, then let it go, leading us all to chase after the road when we entered the forbidden area with confusion!
During this process, strange buzzing from unknown places has always accompanied us. When I think of this place as a "forbidden area", I feel a little scared. What exactly is the taboo of the Ari tribe? What else can there be in such a deserted place!
"Ahhhh--"
The sled dog stopped and made a scream that seemed very aggrieved. When I saw it, it was completely different from the spirit it was when he was trying to make a fuss. It drooped its tail and its head, and it looked like it was lost and rubbed against the weirdo's thigh.
“What’s the situation?”
The weird man held it and tried it around for a while, but unexpectedly the dog just ran around in a small area, and returned to us in an abnormal manner!
The weird man looked around and said, "Lai Pi said that there is no smell on the shirt in this place. Dr. Lin has never walked through here!"
"What a joke? Then why did it run so happily just now?" Ermaozi glared at the dog named "Lai Pi" with his waist.
I recalled the situation when Dr. Lin was separated from us and guessed: "Even if the coat he wore didn't have the smell of others, would the smell on his body fade? After all, we ran out of the sea and were stained with blood and vulcanized gas there. Can the dog's nose tell so many things?"
"You see what that is!"
Donghuang shouted loudly, ran a few steps to our left, then squatted down and picked up a large piece of stuff, turned around and shook at me.
When I saw that it was the wreckage of another yellow snowmobile!
"Is another car that had a car accident driven in here?" Mouse guessed.
Donghuang approached us and pointed to the fragments in his hand. There was a number stamped there, which proved that these fragments belonged to us. Because the two snowmobile were rented from the island we left behind from the little curly, these numbers were printed on the outside of the rear wheel and were unique.
"How fierce is my car driving? The fragments can cross mountains and rivers and bang over?" Ermao lowered his head and fiddled with his hands, not knowing whether to be proud or blame himself.
"Anyway, this is definitely not a 'bang', but it fell to the ground since we came in." Dong Huang approached us and turned the fragments back. There was a thicker screw connected to the back. "This thing is too heavy and can't fly far." He pointed back at the distance again: "Look, there is still a shell over there..."
When I turned my head, indeed, the yellow fragments reflecting the sunlight sprinkled all over the floor. Could it be that they have long legs and can follow us by themselves?
"Will we go back to the same place?" Gao Xiaoya suddenly said, and she gestured at the position of the fragments. "I think that when I left, these fragments were arranged on the ground."
Ermao walked over and grabbed Lai Pi's head and shook it: "Where is the ghost from the Arctic that hit the wall? You won't be fooled by this dog again... Are you a spy sent by the Ari tribe?"
"But why is our car gone?" Dong Huang turned his head and glanced around, "Who pushed the car away?"
My heart trembled, and the ground was full of wreckage. The car should be next to me. Could there be other people here?
"I think this is not the place we set off at all." The little prince pushed the snowmobile full of equipment and stopped behind me. He pointed to the iceberg on the side and said, "Look at this - although the scattered things are still ours, this mountain is not the original mountain. I remember very clearly that before I left, my car was leaning at the foot of the mountain. After driving for so long, the engine was very hot. At that time, I melted a recessed pit on this hill."
He touched the smooth ice wall and said, "The iceberg does not have the function of self-healing, but there is no pit here now, so although there is also a mountain here, the mountain is not the original mountain!"
Everyone looked at each other. The snowmobile parts in front of the left are still there, and the mountain behind the right has changed?
"Yugong moved the mountain?" I saw his evidence and couldn't help but think, "There are two very idle gods. I saw that we broke into the forbidden area. When no one noticed, we moved the mountain here and replaced it for a while?"
"You are dreaming!"
"Shh--"
The mouse made a gesture of silence, telling us not to make noise anymore.
Everyone closed their mouths, and the air seemed to freeze suddenly, leaving only the strange buzzing sounds that had always existed in their ears.
The sound is intermittent, very low and powerful. After listening quietly for a while, we clearly distinguish it from all around us and from the icebergs of all sizes around us!
"This voice is definitely not the singing of walruses... Could it be that the ice layer is about to crack?" Dong Huang stood up vigilantly.
"No, right..."
Ermao shook his head, reached out to touch the iceberg next to her, and then borrowed the weird guy's dagger to carve it a few times. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "This may be a unique phenomenon in the Arctic spring that my father had talked about before. The iceberg has indeed changed, but there are no giants, because the 'forbidden area' we are in is moving slowly!"
Before I could extract any doubts from her words, she explained straightforwardly:
"From the extreme night to the extreme day, the sunlight time in the Arctic continues to grow, and the ice here will melt and merge into the oceans of other parts of the world. At this time, the deep sea will cause undercurrents that are not easily noticed, silently pushing the ice and snow in the Arctic to change their position. The continuous friction sound we hear is the water flow in the sea pushing the road surface under our feet; the short muffled sound is that the two ice surfaces are squeezed together!"
"Just like you are sitting in a car, if you don't look at the reference object outside the window, you can't feel that you are moving at all. The Arctic in spring is not still." She introduced with a knowledgeable look. "The deep black sea is in the depth of the ice cap, and the sea water pushes the glaciers. The squeeze between the glaciers can create icebergs and level the icebergs. This movement, deformation and collapse are the inevitable growth of the Arctic terrain!"
