Chapter 1724 Saving People in the Storm (Plus 5)

"Quick, use all the wedges!" Knutson, who was the most experienced in this meteorological situation, shouted loudly.

The other people were also busy, smashing the wedges one by one on the ice, smashing them down deeply, and smashing them outside the tent, and then tied ropes to the wedges to secure the tent. It is important. All the things were put in the tent. As for all the people, they all got into the igloo, and they were tightly packed.

"Wait." Alter said, "What about Nils outside?"

That Nils ran away by himself. Inside the igloo, they could escape the bad weather. However, Nils outside was probably not so bad.

Hearing the translated words of Alter, Knutson and another Inuit hunter all looked at him with grateful eyes, Knutson said: "It's too late, Nils is the one who chose it by himself. Going out, now, since the weather is bad, he can only blame his own bad luck."

At this time, the Germans have not forgotten to save their comrades. Knutsen is very grateful, and he also knows that the Germans cannot be brought into danger.

"No, since we know he is in danger, we should help him." Alter said, "Just let me go out and find him."

Alter was going to save Nils, and the two people in front of him had tears in their eyes. Knutson said: "I'll go with you. I have experience in this climate, and, My dog ​​is also the smartest."

Another hunter also wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Knutson.

So, two dozen sled dogs, pulling a large sled, and three people, set out on the road. The boy who acted as a translator also followed. After this time, he will definitely be more like a famous man.

Knutson's legs are still immobile. He sat on the sled, looked at the weather outside, and said: "This kind of storm has not been seen for several years. After this storm passes, there will be at least more than a month. good weather."

Suddenly, Oort was overjoyed. He came out this time to find out the meteorological conditions and laws of Greenland and the nearby sea, and what the old hunter said was too valuable for reference.

This is also based on science. Strong convection weather is constantly accumulated. Hot air and cold air are continuously accumulated, and eventually intertwined, and a strong storm appears. After the storm, these airflows have disappeared, and the next time The accumulation also takes time to accumulate.

Of course, you won't just listen to the old Orion's words, combined with the observation data of these days, you can get the correct result.

The data observed every day may seem boring, but when they are combined together, they are of great significance.

"Hold the ice hammer. For a while, once the wind is strong, people may be blown up. At this time, use the ice hammer to hook the ice surface." Knutson continued.

In his hand, he held an ice hammer, and at the same time, with vicissitudes of eyes, he looked at the sled dogs that were pulling the sled in front of him. There were his sled dogs and Nils's. He could bark every one of them. come up with a name.

These sled dogs are also experienced and realize that bad weather is coming. Now that they are going out, it must be urgent, and they all run very hard.

"Nils, Nils, where are you? Can you hear me?" Knutson shouted loudly. On the empty ice sheet, there was nothing, not even an echo.

"There is a supply point nearby. Nils is likely to go there. Only by going to the supply point can he possibly return to our settlement." Knutson said, he urged the sled dog and continued to run forward. .

Those tumbling golden white clouds are getting closer and closer, and the whistling arctic wind can already be felt, and it begins to blow at an accelerated rate.

Quick, quick!

The sled dog continued to run wildly. Suddenly, a sled dog on the side fell down without warning. It fell on the ice beside it and couldn't get up again.

With a long tongue sticking out of its mouth, its body is still moving up and down and breathing, but it just can't get up.

The other sled dogs stopped in a sympathetic manner, wagging their tails, and walked slowly towards the place where it lay.

There was pain in Knutson's eyes. When he limped down, the sled dog had closed his eyes and stopped breathing. It was exhausted.

For the Inuit, sled dogs are their most loyal companions and are often treated as family members, but now, unfortunately, one has closed his eyes forever.

After undoing the sled dog's rope, Knutson muttered a few words silently, and then got on the sled again.

Gotta go on.

The sled dogs faithfully pulled their ropes again and ran forward. The sled dog, who had closed his eyes, had something crystal clear from the corners of his eyes.

"Huh, huh." The wind was blowing more and more fiercely, looking at the rolling clouds directly above, Knutson said: "The storm is coming soon, we can't reach the supply station, hide on the spot!"

How to avoid the bad weather in the polar regions? Of course, I dug a hole in the ice cap and looked for a leeward place. In the distance, I saw a permafrost slope, and immediately drove the sled dogs to the permafrost slope.

When he reached the bottom of the slope, suddenly, Knutson's eyes lit up: "Nils, Nils!"

Nils, who walked over, has exhausted all his strength. Now, he is lying under the dirt slope, waiting for the terrible weather to come. He has no strength all over his body. roll up.

Now, seeing the sled and the people on the sled, Nils's eyes showed the desire for survival again.

"Thank you for saving me. From now on, you will be my most honorable master." Nils murmured, "You gave me two lives."

Niels knew that he would not survive the storm, and in this terrible weather, the Germans were risking their lives to save himself, and he had realized that he had made the wrong choice.

Last time it was because of responsibility, and now, he has been freed from the shackles of responsibility, and from now on, the Germans are his masters.

"Come on, use an ice axe to dig up this place!" Knutson shouted loudly without blaming Nils. Time is running out. If they can dig a perfect cave before the storm completely arrives, That would be the best.

Soon, the storm engulfed the entire ice sheet.
