Chapter 372 The wolves under the ice

"Due to the storm, supply ships were expected to take seven days to arrive, and warehouses storing food were also destroyed in the storm."

Although people can go without eating for seven days, but that is in a normal environment!

In this hellish place like Antarctica, if you want to survive, you must ensure that there is enough food. The human body has energy to replenish it at any time to resist the cold outside.

Just listening to Professor Fang's story, Wen Wanwan could already imagine the desperate situation they faced at that time.

Seven people persisted for seven days without any supplies, and they had just weathered a snowstorm. Even if they wanted to go out and find animals to eat, it was not that easy.

The university will cover up all traces of animal life. Compared with animals, it will be extremely difficult for humans to move forward in this kind of snow.

"We persisted at the research station for two days. After eating the few snacks and candies we had left, we were ready to go out to look for some food."

"But that night, more than a dozen Antarctic ice fish and a lifeless penguin appeared outside the research station."

"It took us three days to finally find out what the food was."

"That little local dog that was once, the Falkland Islands wolf can also be called the Arctic wolf."

When he said this, Professor Fang's eyes flashed with a light that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. Wen Wanwan looked at the old man in front of him with a somewhat complicated look.

Are you here to help with temperature control?
fart!

This old man clearly wanted her to help find this extinct Antarctic wolf!
The truth of the story needs to be verified, but Wen Wanwan is sure of one thing. Professor Fang has indeed seen Antarctic wolves.

It's not surprising that extinct animals have reappeared.

Even though humans have filled the sky with satellites, their exploration of the earth itself is extremely limited.

Especially in the polar regions, the magnetic field in some areas is so chaotic that even electronic equipment cannot be used. It is not impossible for a group of extinct animals to appear in such places.

But now more than 20 years have passed. Antarctica was inaccessible at first, but now there are many research stations and tourist ships here almost every year.

If Antarctic wolves exist, then someone should have seen them, but there has been no news for such a long time.

Assuming that Professor Fang has really seen it, it can only explain one problem. The hiding place of this group of Antarctic wolves is extremely hidden and cannot be found by just looking.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Wanwan finally sighed. She could never resist the temptation of animals, especially the wolf that had been declared extinct.

"Tell me any news at once. My time in Antarctica is limited, so I can only do my best."

Professor Fang quickly took out an old portfolio from behind his back and handed it to Wen Wanwan with a look of expectation.

"Here are my 20 years of investigation into locations where Antarctic wolves may exist, as well as some clues and data."

Looking at the scheming smile on the old fox's face, Wen Wanwan sighed silently, and then began to open the old file.

[On November [-], [-], an investigation was conducted on the location where the Antarctic wolf first appeared, and feces was found three meters below the ice. 】

[On November [-], [-], an analysis of Antarctic wolf hiding places found a total of [-] possible areas. 】

[On January [-], [-], all sixteen areas were explored. The following are photos and collected data. 】

……

Almost most of this file is handwritten, and it can be seen from the traces on it that Professor Fang has almost taken it out and read it when he has time for so many years.

Starting in [-] and ending suddenly a few years ago, countless clues and data were found.

Let alone Wen Wanwan, any animal protection worker who has the ability to explore in Antarctica is sure to find the Antarctic wolf.

"Why do you think of letting me look for you?" "Because you are suitable."

"What about yourself?"

Professor Fang patted his thigh: "Both legs have rheumatism. It's a serious kind. I can work, but I have to walk in Antarctica for several days."

In fact, according to his situation and age, he should have returned to China for retirement a long time ago. The superiors will not treat such an old professor with outstanding contributions poorly.

But because of the Antarctic wolf, he has stayed at the Great Wall Station these years, trying to find this animal that is considered extinct by the world.

"It's still the same question, why me?"

After hearing Wen Wanwan's second inquiry, Professor Fang also knew that she would never go unless he gave a suitable reason.

"Many people have been to Antarctica over the years, and I have seen every one of them, but I don't feel comfortable leaving this group of Antarctic wolves to them."

"There may be only this group left in the world. Whether it is your seriousness towards animals or your ability, you are the best one I have ever seen."

Hearing this, Wen Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "Maybe there is someone more suitable than me?"

"Maybe, but I don't have the time to wait any longer. This is my last year in Antarctica."

Wen Wanwan looked through the information in his hand again for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, leave these Antarctic wolves to me."

This information is so detailed that it can even be said to have marked out almost all the places where Antarctic wolves exist.

After looking at the map all day today, Wen Wanwan already had a rough location in his mind.

And that area is also called the ice area.

It is in the freezing layer all year round, even in the middle of summer it will not have the slightest impact on the ice and snow there.

The reason why it is called an ice layer is that the ice there is divided. Maybe the top five meters are ice, and there will be a space below.

Layers upon layers, no one knows how many layers of space there are.

And after years of investigation of the entire data, all the clues ultimately point there.

In other words, Antarctic wolves are most likely hiding in an ice sheet, and there are definitely not too many of them.

The space within the ice is limited, and although the Antarctic wolf is called a wolf, according to research over the years, this creature is closer to a fox in the broad spectrum of DNA.

In terms of habits, they are actually closer to foxes, which means that if the population is not sparse, there is no need for them to hide themselves in such unknown places.

"Area [-] is completed!"

"Area [-] is completed!"

……

While Wen Wanwan was thinking, the entire temporary base's workload for the day was finally completed.

At the same time, the lid of the big pot of rice that had been cooked for a long time was also opened.

The smell of rice mixed with the smell of meat spread in the air, causing Wen Wanwan to quickly put away the files and pull Shen Nan towards the stove in the distance.

 If the chapter is wrong, wait 24 hours.
