Chapter 685 Lost and Found
The strong wind gradually died down, and the black felt had already been completely covered by snow and gravel, blending into the earth.
After a rustling sound, a small piece of snow suddenly collapsed. Gradually, a hole appeared on the ground, and a dog's head suddenly emerged from the hole.
Goudan stuck out his tongue, but the incredibly low temperature instantly froze the saliva on his tongue, scaring him so much that he quickly closed his mouth.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Goudan let out a howl, and his two companions immediately began to dig. Soon, a large area of snow along the cave entrance began to collapse.
Bifang used all his strength to lift the musk ox on his body, and the accumulated snow slid down with a crash, splashing up large flakes of snow dust.
The Bifang who was finally dug out looked relieved: "Huh, I was almost buried alive."
The thickness of the snow was increasing at an alarming rate every day. If the vents above their heads had not been kept unobstructed, Bifang and Sansha would have been buried alive and suffocated.
It was even more exaggerated when I woke up today. The cave was completely dark and I was completely buried alive.
If the space dug out by Bifang and the Three Idiots within three days had not been large enough and had sufficient oxygen, they might not have been able to hold out until they came out.
[Oh my god, are all the snowstorms in Greenland so terrible ? It’s been more than three days]
[I have been here for more than half a month, and there has been a blizzard for a week (laughing and crying)]
【Finally out】
[It's so dark, is it early morning? Or evening?]
[Although there is a time difference, I checked and it seems to be noon in Greenland now...]
[Noon? Shit, are you sure? The sun doesn’t even come out halfway at noon?]
Bifang looked around and found that the sky was dim and dark just as the audience had said, but it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
Turning my head, I finally saw the sun at noon. Only half of it was visible. No, not even half of it. It seemed to disappear in a flash.
"The polar night will come in the next two days. It may be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Bifang's expression was serious. Time did not allow him to delay any longer. He dragged the sled and the musk ox out, packed them up simply, and then blew a whistle to call back the three idiots who were playing around.
Fugui and Wangcai came over immediately. Bifang put the reins on them again and shouted at Goudan who was about to run a hundred meters.
"Goudan, come here quickly!"
But Goudan didn't move at all. He ran into the snow and sniffed something everywhere.
Bifang was a little puzzled. Large dogs are relatively smart. He had been training for so many days, and theoretically this guy should know his name. He thought he didn't call it loud enough, or that the "leader" of the Husky was playing tricks on him. Just as he was about to walk over, he found that Goudan suddenly stopped and then quickly started digging a hole.
【What is Goudan doing】
【Have you found something to eat? 】
[Rather than looking for food, I would rather believe that it is marking its territory]
Bifang walked to Goudan out of curiosity. At this time, this guy had already dug a pit nearly half a meter deep.
After watching for more than ten minutes , the half-meter-deep pit was almost one meter deep. Just when Bifang's patience was about to run out and he was about to drag Goudan away by force, Goudan suddenly cried out and then came out dragging something.
A huge skull with a pair of huge and sharp horns was dragged out of the deep pit by Goudan.
It turned out to be a bull-horned helmet that was thrown away after the blizzard came.
"Woof!"
The Husky barked excitedly, stuck its head into the snow, then pushed forward with all its strength, successfully getting the horn helmet on its head. It turned around and around, and its tail left an afterimage.
Bifang looked back at the hole he had dug for refuge, then looked down at the pit that was nearly one meter deep. The distance between the two was nearly a hundred meters.
Can you find this?
Bifang laughed in silence. The ox-horn helmet was very heavy and was not easily blown away. However, under the power of the blizzard, he did not expect to find it back.
"You are amazing."
Bifang slapped Goudan on the helmet, then grabbed the rope around Goudan's neck and ran quickly towards the musk ox.
"Goudan, get ready for work!"
…
An hour later, the sun set completely and night fell.
The short daylight hours of less than three hours were an eye-opener for everyone. This phenomenon, which only occurs in high latitudes, is a natural phenomenon that most people have never seen in their lifetime.
It won't be long before the sun sets forever and never rises again, before spring arrives.
As the night fell completely, Bifang shuddered. Even now, his biological clock was a little disordered.
This is all foreseeable. Starting from the time when meals are not eaten regularly, the tendency for the biological clock to be disrupted will naturally appear.
Most people will not experience the polar night. This extreme phenomenon is indeed not easy to survive. When faced with biological clock disorders, an important way to regulate rhythm is to eat.
The scientific researchers at the Yellow River Station have a meal schedule, and expedition members from all countries must go to the restaurant to eat to ensure that they can meet and communicate every day and develop work and rest habits.
So during those days of food shortage, Bifang had already anticipated this day.
At this point, he himself has no way of confirming whether he is following the normal routine in the area.
"It's the first time I encounter such a situation, so I can't help but feel a little nervous." Bifang was dragging the musk ox, and this situation that destroyed his preconceived impression made him inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
[Fang Shen will also be nervous? 】
【Rare experience】
【Record Lao Fang's embarrassing moment. 】
"No more talking. I need to save some energy and try to get back today."
[Why does it have to be in that valley?]
[Yes, isn't there a forest over there where Lao Fang caught the musk ox? ]
"The forest is good. It can be used to make tools and as fuel, but the key is the river in the valley."
"Having a river means an absolutely stable and easy way to obtain food. Catching animals in the forest is not that easy."
Bifang took a breath and answered the audience's questions.
Trees are of course important, but the most important thing is food. Even if Bifang now has musk oxen, which can provide food for a month, what if something unexpected happens?
For example, when you go out, you might happen to encounter a wolverine, an Arctic wolf, a polar bear or something like that. Such a situation is not impossible, and in that case, everything will be gone.
Therefore, there must be a backup option so that after losing everything, Bifang can still have a plan B that does not affect the overall situation and can quickly make a comeback.
After taking a breath, Bifang moved quickly with the help of the three idiots.
Perhaps the blizzard had not completely stopped, and there was still flying snow in the air, but the wind was not strong and did not affect Bifang's movements too much. Even with his face covered with snow, he still managed to see the valley again before the sun rose again.
