Chapter 34 Who Said That Those Who Stand in the Light Are Heroes
"Everyone, pay attention to its horns." Huo Yu focused the camera on the pair of horns. "The musk ox looks very much like an ordinary cow in appearance, and its horns are also like cows, but the horns of ordinary cattle grow from the side of the head.
Musk oxen, like other sheep, grow from the top of its head."
"Its molars are similar to those of goats. The scientific name of musk ox means "sheep cow", which shows that it is a transitional animal between cattle and sheep. It is a rare and magical creature!"
Listening to Huo Yu's professional and interesting science popularization, the audience in the live broadcast room were also surprised.
"Well, what a big cow!"
"It's so rare, doesn't it mean we are lucky?"
"Okay, if you follow Mr. Yu, you can see everything."
"Does this thing taste meaty?"
"That person who asked about the smell of meat is too harsh on you..."
Huo Yu looked at the barrage and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Lucky?
If it wasn't the lucky ring that played a role, but this group of musk oxen was already active here, he would think it was a misfortune for mankind.
It's not that he deliberately sells anxiety, but because creatures like musk oxen generally do not enter the Arctic Circle, let alone at extremely low latitudes. The low temperatures in the Arctic Circle are not suitable for their survival.
But seeing them here now further illustrates the severity of today's greenhouse effect.
However, everything has its pros and cons.
We are getting closer and closer to the 121 scientific research station, but we can still see so many creatures, which means that there should be no poacher base nearby.
Animals are very sensitive. If a place is frequently visited by poachers and a few animals are killed from time to time, other animals will subconsciously stay away from the place over time.
Judging from the density of nearby organisms, this situation should not occur.
This is undoubtedly good news. Poachers are usually crazy and most of them want money rather than their lives.
Although Huo Yu is not afraid of them, it doesn't mean that he has to be like a fool and insist on causing trouble for them.
Dealing with poachers is a matter for the polar peacekeeping navy. It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
The icekeeper's duty is to stop any form of hunting, but it also stipulates that stopping poaching must be based on ensuring the relative safety of one's own life.
Outpost-level scientific research stations do not have armed forces, which is why it was so difficult for Huo Yu to apply for a pistol at first, because in principle, ice guards at outpost-level scientific research stations do not need to be equipped with weapons.
Similarly, when icekeepers at outpost-level scientific research stations discover poaching, they should report it rather than stop it.
This regulation is to protect the bottom icekeepers, but almost all icekeepers will choose to stop poachers when they discover their activities. Every year, many icekeepers die directly or indirectly due to poachers.
Huoyu didn't stay here for long, and controlled the little black ball to search around the area. This group of musk oxen was a small group, with a total of thirteen members.
After carefully numbering each musk ox and leaving an image, Huo Yu drove away from here.
After reporting the images, I believe the scientists from the Icekeeper Biology Department will be interested in these honest guys.
Drive all the way south.
Not long after, a gray building broke into Huo Yu's field of vision. The bare flagpole on the top of the building seemed to tell its helplessness and loneliness.
The 121 scientific research station has arrived.
This place was originally stationed by a three-man team of Ross Ice Guards. After the accident, the Ice Guards removed the flag here and declared that this scientific research station would cease to be used.
The snowmobile stopped not far from the gate of the scientific research station, and Huo Yu jumped down from it.
He raised his head and looked at the bare flagpole, feeling a little sad in his heart.
The people who were stationed here once had the same beliefs and ideals as him. This bond allowed him to resonate strongly even if he had never met them.
"Before coming to this land, they may have been just idealists." Huo Yu said silently, staring at the 121 scientific research station in front of him, "but after setting foot on this land, they turned into guardians of the Blue Star environment."
"Even if their souls have died on this land, they are still the patron saints of the polar environment!"
"Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?"
Huo Yu faced the scientific research station and saluted solemnly.
"Well said, who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes? Salute to the heroes!"
"I never knew them, but at this moment Master Yu let me know that they died for me."
"Have a good trip, hero."
"Have a good trip, hero."
...
The comments section is full of tributes to the passing icekeepers.
As long as someone is still missing them, the deceased is not really dead!
Putting down his right hand heavily, Huo Yu seemed to see three bearded Nordic men in a trance. He smiled boldly at him and raised the vodka in his hand.
"Alas." Huo Yu sighed and cheered up again, "Okay, now it's time to start working!"
Huo Yu began to arrange his equipment, strapped the compound bow on his back and tightened it, and pulled out the pistol from his waist.
The internal situation of the scientific research station is complicated. The structural diagram of the scientific research station is different for each country and even each team. In this case, using a pistol is more flexible than using a compound bow, making it easier to deal with various possible situations.
emergencies.
This is the first time Huo Yu has exposed his pistol to the camera.
Fortunately, the scale of Blue Star's live broadcast is larger than in previous lives, and Huo Yu's work is somewhat official in nature, so the appearance of the pistol did not attract any warning.
Huo Yu thought for a moment and turned on the underage restriction.
He didn't know that he would face an unexpected situation next. If there were some bloody scenes or a situation where shooting was necessary, it would easily leave psychological trauma on minors.
It would be better to wait until he confirms that there is no danger inside before opening the restrictions.
After checking the condition of the gun body and the magazine, Huo Yu's eyes looked strange.
This pistol was system upgraded, and it was also upgraded with unlimited bullets from the polar gift package given to him by Xiaoyu.
But whether it is from the appearance or the magazine, this pistol is no different from an ordinary pistol.
But this is a good thing. He is only a junior ice guard now, and every shot he fires is restricted, and he even has to make a report.
If the system really makes a major modification to the pistol, it will be difficult for me to pass the report after shooting.
The door of the 121 scientific research station was already damaged. Huo Yu stepped forward and pushed it gently, and the remaining door fell down.
There was a dark hole behind the door, and a smell of dampness mixed with decay came out, making people feel fearful just looking at it.
"Xiaoyu, let's go."
Holding a pistol in hand, Huo Yu called Xiaoyu behind him softly, and stepped resolutely into the interior of the 121 scientific research station.
