Xu Yun stood up and stomped out the fish grilling fire with his feet: "Pigeon, get ready to help me put on the anti-skid chains. I estimate that if I walk forward for another two hours, it will be difficult for the car tires to grip the ground. I don't want to
The car got stuck prematurely.”
Lin Ge immediately went to the car to look for anti-skid chains. He just hoped that the car could travel a little longer. After all, as long as there was a car, some of the electric cookers and the like they brought could be used. If there was no car,
There is no power port.
The lack of a power outlet means that you can only eat barbecue. It is not easy to make a fire in such a humid and cold place. If the fuel and burning materials for the fire are used up, then you may really have to eat it raw!
The two men quickly installed the tire chains.
After everything was prepared and checked twice, the three of them set off again.
This journey was really hard enough. When Xu Yun saw that the map navigation finally showed that they had arrived at Big Bear Lake, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
But they still have to face many problems. The Big Bear Lake is so big, who knows which island the Nine Thousand Religious Order is on.
"There are skating rinks and ski resorts on the south shore of Big Bear Lake. I believe Jiu Qianxiu will never like these lively places." Gu Qiya took out her mobile phone and downloaded the most detailed map information of Big Bear Lake: "If nothing else happens,
He will find an island farthest away from human habitation."
As she said that, Gu Qiya quickly found an isolated island in the northwest corner of Big Bear Lake on the mobile map.
She handed it to Xu Yun for a look, and Xu Yun could only say that Gu Qiya's judgment was the closest.
"I think this kind of place is reliable. Isn't it just to prevent others from finding him? The more ghostly a place no one comes to, the more naturally it is a hotbed for him." Lin Ge said: "This is the place.
, just go here to find him!”
Xu Yun nodded: "Then go to this location first and have a look."
In this current season, the entire Big Bear Lake is not navigable and the lake surface has been frozen. This is the coldest time of the year in Big Bear Lake.
Even so, Xu Yun did not drive the car onto the frozen lake rashly. For him, he still wanted to be safe. It was best to go around the lake and drive into the frozen lake when he had to, which would reduce a lot of dangers.
Big Bear Lake is really quite big. Xu Yun walked around the lake and was really impressed by the natural landscape here.
All this is really amazing, the thickness of the ice is something they have never seen in China.
Because they were walking along the lake, they often saw large groups of Alaskan dogs or Huskies pulling sleds and running wildly in the snow with people.
"Brother, these must be Inuit people, right? Look, dog sleds, the Inuit people use this kind of transportation." Lin Ge was excited because he had arrived in the extremely cold zone of the earth.
"Maybe they are not Inuit, maybe they are just wealthy North Americans who came to experience Inuit life," Xu Yundao said.
Dogs are the most loyal friends of the Inuit people. There is a reason why Xu Yun said that these people who use large groups of huskies to pull sleds are not Inuit people.
Since most of the animals that the Inuit people rely on for survival in the Arctic migrate at least twice a year, the Inuit people are destined to live a migrating life following food sources.
The Inuit migrate mainly on foot. They use dog sleds in the snow. When the ice and snow melt for a few days every year, the sleds cannot be used, so dogs can only carry some things. Summer sea transportation
The tool is a kayak, which is of no use in winter.
Since sled dogs eat the same things as the Inuit, and more than the Inuit, using dog sleds as transportation is difficult for most Inuit.
Some cruel people said that the Inuit people with poor conditions cannot afford to raise dogs, and they cannot raise such a large group of dogs without enough food, so Xu Yuncai said that these people are not Inuit people.
And it seemed like the people on the sleds were really going to hit the dogs with their whips.
Xu Yun believes that the Inuit people would not do this, because the Inuit people cherish their dogs very much. Their dogs are not only their means of transportation, but also their good helpers when hunting!
The Inuit dogs can help them find the breathing holes of seals. When they encounter large animals, such as musk oxen, or even more terrifying polar bears, the Inuit people will let go of the dogs on the sled and let the dogs go.
Surround the prey, wear it down, and finally kill the large animal easily.
Although the musk ox is a cow, it is very strong. Without the help of dogs, it would be difficult for the Inuit to deal with it on their own.
Inuit dogs are also good guards for their homes. They can report the arrival of enemies or dangerous animals to their owners. If you get lost while hunting, dogs can also save your life. They can find your way back in the ice and snow more easily than people.
The way home.
Of course, the most cruel thing is that when the Inuit people are short of food and unable to survive, dogs are also their food.
Although this sounds cruel, human beings are selfish and will not be reluctant to do it for their own interests. After all, the living environment here is too harsh and cannot be experienced in inland areas.
It is true that some dog lovers cannot accept it because they love dogs too much and treat dogs as their darlings, cuddling and hugging each other, and giving dogs food that is better than people.
For everyone, this is their own right, but these people certainly cannot accept people eating their loyal partners.
But Xu Yun can guarantee that if these people and their dogs were brought to a damn place like this and deprived of food for three or five days, they would pick up the butcher's knife in their hands.
After all, humans will always be humans, the most cruel and indifferent animals in the world.
The good evolution of human civilization and increasingly better living conditions have made people's cruelty and indifference hidden deep in their hearts.
But whenever we encounter a crisis, the most disgusting dark side of the human heart will emerge.
Nowadays, people can see how kind human nature is and how dark it is. This exists mutually.
In fact, many movies also reflect the horrors of human nature.
To put it simply, in a high-end community where a hundred rich people live in a big city, the neighbors must be very affectionate on weekdays. Everyone is rich and has various resources to share.
There are mutual interests.
Of course, we are all good friends and brothers, and it doesn’t matter if we wear the same pair of pants.
But if one day this community is quarantined, the people inside will never be able to come out and can only survive inside. What will happen to these 100 people? Haha, someone will definitely commit murder in order to survive, and it will even happen in the end.
The tragedy of cannibalism.
The car continued to move along Big Bear Lake, and the navigation position was getting closer and closer to Xu Yun and the others.
Finally, after rounding an ice fjord, there was no way to go, and the navigation indicated that they were still ten miles away from their target point.
Xu Yun and the others finally had to drive the car onto the frozen surface of Big Bear Lake. This was their only choice now.
The weight of such a huge car is obviously much larger than that of ordinary cars, and there are so many things in the car, so as soon as the car drove onto the lake, Xu Yun felt something was wrong.
Perhaps his sixth sense told Xu Yun that this should not be the case, so Xu Yun finally chose to give up driving to the lake.
This place is the northwest corner of Big Bear Lake. It is not a place that was still inhabited in the south before. It is very desolate. Once the car actually falls into the icy lake, the consequences will be disastrous and they will not even be able to find anyone asking for help.
Xu Yun and Lin Ge might be able to survive if they were hit by water ice at dozens of degrees below zero, but that was not necessarily the case for Gu Qiya. If they fell into the water in such extremely cold conditions, she might directly lose her life.
Based on this alone, Xu Yun must be cautious.
Lin Ge and Gu Qiya had no objection to the decision made by Xu Yun. They both firmly believed that Xu Yun could make the most correct judgment.
After parking the car next to Big Bear Lake, Xu Yun and Lin Ge unloaded the two snowmobiles they brought from the pickup truck. When they decided to buy this, it was so wise! After all, there were still ten miles.
It's a long way to go, and it's too cold and slippery here for a walk.
