Chapter 709 Breaking the Ice

Bi Fang has not forgotten his true purpose of coming to the Arctic, which is to "survive in the wilderness" for 100 days.

Although there may be nothing wrong with eating a bar of chocolate, don't gamble. The purpose of the Tesis is to save the gray whale, not to provide help to Bifang. He doesn't need it and doesn't want it.

The rejected sailor didn't say anything, he just opened the package alone, ate a delicious hazelnut chocolate bar, then folded the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his pocket.

The sweet and cloying smell floated under Bifang's nose through several meters of air.

hateful!

I want to eat.

Bifang turned around after getting into the musk ox hide. He was not hungry after eating the emergency food reserve, but this high-sugar food made his body instinctively crave in the severe cold.

The roar of chainsaws, the running of generators, the driving of snowmobiles, the noisy conversations of everyone, and the occasional whale call, and even the faint sound of a whistle, suddenly made the calm ice field become noisy and lively.

It's so lifeless again.

In the midst of this commotion, Bifang turned his back, curled up, huddled into his musk ox skin sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Bi Fang sleeping, the audience was surprised to find that the live broadcast did not stop and was still continuing.

The new light reflected on the dark ocean, and the glowing white ice drifted slowly. After the Tesis, the excavated channel was once again covered with a thin layer of slender ice, which could break with a light touch.

It's a large film, but who knows when it will freeze into a terrifying shape of tens of centimeters.

The fat seal raised its body and lay on the sea ice, watching in amazement as the huge Tethis hit the ice field. It was so frightened that it crawled a few steps and jumped into the water, causing ripples.

On the other side, everyone was also working enthusiastically. No matter how hard the ice was, it could never compare to real steel. More and more ice floes were cut off, and the area of ​​the ice cave continued to expand.

The gray whale was a little worried at first, but when he saw the ice cave getting bigger and bigger, he swung his tail happily.

...

"Well, how long have I been asleep?"

Bi Fang opened his eyes and got out of his sleeping bag. He looked up and looked around, and found that many of the people in this group seemed to be familiar faces. There were many unfamiliar faces among the tourists, but there were still the same few sailors.

Only an hour or two passed?

Bi Fang guessed.

In addition to working and maintaining order, the sailors should be replaced in about two or three hours. Now it is the same batch, which means that I have not slept for too long. No wonder I have such a headache.

The sailor on the side looked at his phone and said, "It's been almost ten hours."

"Ah, I fell asleep."

Bi Fang pressed his head and realized that he had not slept for an hour, but had slept for a whole round!

The headache is caused by sleeping too much.

"No, since it's been ten hours, why are you still here?" Bi Fang suddenly realized, how could he still be with them after so long?

"Mr. Fang, you will understand when you look back."

The sailor who asked Bi Fang if he wanted to eat a chocolate bar pointed backwards. When Bi Fang turned around, what he saw was not an endless ice field, but square arrays of ice caves!

The distance between each one is about thirty meters, and three of them were dug out, which is a distance of nearly one hundred meters.

"Mr. Fang has been sleeping. We were not worried about leaving you there alone, so we slowly pulled you over. And it seems that if you move, the gray whales will follow. If we just dig holes, they will not move at all."

I won’t follow you.”

The sailor sighed, leaving Bi Fang alone on the ice sheet. What if he encountered danger? It would be too troublesome to send someone to take care of him, so he slowly dragged him over.

Moreover, they dug a hole, but the gray whale remained indifferent, but when Bifang moved, these big guys actually followed.

"Your sled is very well made, without too many bumps. It feels almost the same as my grandpa's, who is a carpenter."

The sailor praised, making Bifang, who still had a headache, smile.

"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

"No, the plan is going well. The distance between us and the Tesis is getting closer and closer. Now it is almost only five miles. However, there is still a section of ice in the middle that is thicker, so it may take longer."

Ten hours, shortening the journey by less than two miles?

Bi Fang made a mental calculation and found that at the current speed, it would take more than two days to completely break through. Including the section with thick ice, it should take three days.

Looking at the gray whale blowing in the ice cave, Bi Fang felt that since the gray whale would follow him, the speed might be faster.

"Try digging the distance between the ice caves to fifty meters."

"Can."

The sailor agreed directly without asking the reason.

Bi Fang sat on the sled, took out a kettle from his sleeping bag, took a sip of water, and watched quietly as everyone dug holes.

The three idiots are still sitting there unmoved... Well, where are the three idiots?

Bifang, who thought the three silly dogs were still sleeping on the ground, was startled when he suddenly discovered that the three silly dogs were missing. He quickly turned around and saw that the three dogs were playing with a few children and following the children.

As soon as the snack came out, he immediately jumped to catch it and had a great time.

No ambition!

Bi Fang stood up, took out a wooden stick, chewed it in his mouth, and performed a simple and crude brushing of teeth. Then he grabbed a handful of dry snow next to him, washed his face briefly, and came to the icehouse, looking at the little boy.

The gray whale raised its head and sprayed water jets at him, saying a unique greeting.

After wiping the frost off his face, Bi Fang patted the gray whale's head and whistled. The three idiots who were still playing around raised their ears.

Fugui and Wangcai licked the corners of their mouths, and finally ran over obediently. Only Goudan pricked up his ears and remained motionless. He looked at Bifang sideways, as if trying to pretend not to hear, but he stopped playing.

The noisy actions gave it away early.

When Bifang raised his feet to catch him, Goudan finally sensed the call of "destiny" and ran back obediently.

Several children also focused on the little gray whale leaning on the shore. Unfortunately, the sailors did not allow them to get close to the ice cave, so they had no choice but to stare at it from five meters away.

Bifang put on the reins and drove the sled again to patrol the route. After checking it, he found that there was nothing wrong with it, and the progress was as the sailor said. It looked like he had dug more than a mile in total.

The Tesis ran more than 600 meters, and they dug less than 100 meters. The speed of the icebreaker was more than four times that of digging the hole. Even if the retreat was blocked by ice, the ship was faster.

But it's still a little bit worse.

After all, the ice-breaking ability of the Tesis was still too weak. According to the sailors, it even got stuck several times and had to be successfully freed by the swing method.

After confirming this, Bi Fang took San Sha towards home. He needed to carry more food and fuel. In these three days, he could not survive just by drinking the northwest wind.
