Starting From the Dragon Clan To Penetrate the World

Vol 2 Chapter 174: : Departure, permafrost

When Fingel heard what Lu Chen said, his face was surprised, "Really?"

Lu Chen nodded, his expression became serious, "Really, but brother, are you sure not to go? Although I don't know what happened before, that place has a lot of influence on you, right?"

As far as Lu Chen himself said, if he can, he doesn’t want to take it alone. Nibelungen is very complicated and full of changes. Although he plans to find Nibelungen, he will find a way to get Senior Brother Fingel and Chu Brother went out first, and he took care of the rest.

But in reality, many things will not go as planned, and going to the North Pole with him is definitely a high-risk task.

After listening to Lu Chen's words, Fingel also put away his ugly expression on his face, "It seems that the principal has told you, but what kind of person do you think I am? That kind of person is filled with revenge. , Want to spare your own life, but also to find out the truth back then?"

Lu Chen stared at Fingel's eyes. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Lu Chen nodded and said, "I think it is."

He has always been very accurate in seeing people. Although Brother Fingel is usually very confused and seems to have no lower limit, in fact the other party is by no means a real waste.

"Okay, okay, I surrendered, so what if I can be praised by the S-level junior, so what if I walk with you for a while."

Fingel raised his hand, and then put on a mean expression: "But you have to protect me, brother, brother, I'm very weak."

"Brother, you'd better call yourself heavier and weaker first."

Lu Chen looked at Fingel's sturdy body, he was definitely a fierce player in ancient times.

"Don't worry about weighing things. By the way, Junior Brother, can you take me down with the copy tonight?"

Fingel smiled flatteringly, opening World of Warcraft, he was still short of two pieces of equipment.

Lu Chen smiled, "Walk there."

Boom

Boom

Years after years of glaciers disintegrated under the feet of the steel beast, and a corner floated in the water. The sound of the impact is reminiscent of the thunder of summer, but here and the hot summer will never be touched.

Gullfaxi (Gullfaxi), is the name of this steel behemoth, legendary is the mount of the frost giant Herangnir.

Gulfaxi is 134 meters long, 30 meters wide, and has a displacement of 23,000 tons. It is equipped with 2 reactors and can be used in deep waters in the Arctic Circle with a thickness of 2 meters for breaking ice.

This is an Arktika-class icebreaker, produced in the former Soviet Union, and there are only five in the world. It seems that the college has indeed paid for this mission.

Lu Chen stood in front of the deck, looking at the endless snowfield, feeling the harsh cold wind coming from the pavement.

Only when you really come to this place can you appreciate the ruthlessness of nature. The endless frost will cover everything and turn the world into white, as if purifying the dirt in this world.

Lu Chen exhaled, the white water vapor rose to half, then gradually sinking, in an environment of more than 30 degrees below zero, the water mist would be instantly condensed.

"Junior Brother, do you want a mouthful?"

Finger walked to Lu Chen shiveringly. This guy was wearing a warm down jacket and a thick military coat on the outside, with a cashmere hat on his head, almost covering his ears.

Holding a bottle of vodka in his hand, he looked at Lu Chen's eyes as if looking at a monster, because the other party was only wearing ordinary casual clothes with only thin autumn clothes and long trousers. The other party wore it like this at the academy and even when he came to the North Pole. !

Lu Chen took the vodka that Fingel had handed him, and didn't mind that the other party had just drunk it. He blew a sip into the bottle, the hot wine drank from his stomach, and a blast of heating rose, and the coldness brought by the severe cold was dissipated. some.

"Where is Brother Chu?"

Lu Chen returned the bottle to Fingel.

"Junior Brother Chu is making up the Inuit language in the house, because if we step on the eternal frozen ground, we will only have the Inuit as our guide."

Fingel rubbed his hands tremblingly.

"It's really like Brother Chu's style."

Lu Chen smiled and said that he wanted to learn an unpopular language in a few days. It is estimated that only people like Chu Zihang who have the strength and patience can do it.

This is the third day they set off. The ship traveled from the port in the north of Greenland and went all the way to the Arctic Circle.

"Mr Lu."

At this time, Captain Augustus of the Gulfaxi came to Lu Chen and saluted respectfully.

"Just call my name, or call me the commissioner. I don't like this name very much."

Lu Chen has emphasized it many times in the past few days, but some people still call it wrong.

"Commissioner Lu, with the power and configuration of this ship, we will travel another fifty kilometers forward. At about nineteen o'clock, we can't go any further."

Captain Augustus respectfully reported that even if the young man in front of him did not have the status of an honorary school manager, he still expressed his high respect for him.

The opponent is not only a new legendary dragon slayer, but the target of this mission may also be an opponent of the first generation. It can be seen that the calm expression of the young man at this time has made their logistics team full of confidence.

"Are the supplies ready?"

Lu Chen wants to confirm.

"Food, fuel, camping and other equipment are all ready, but there is a small problem now."

Speaking of this, Captain Augustus was a little embarrassed.

"what is the problem?"

Lu Chen frowned. The Executive Department should have arranged everything. This is a serious task and there is no room for error.

"The Inuit changed his mind temporarily. He said that we can't go in this direction, saying that there is a man-eating demon in front of this snowy field, and those who set foot on this land will also be condemned by the gods."

Captain Augustus is a rare commissioner who knows Inuktitut and has many years of naval experience, so even though his bloodline is only B-class, the academy still arranges him to be the captain of the Gulfaxie.

"Junior Brother, look at you, I'm telling you that you have to believe what the local people say. Many of those myths and legends are there. Why don't we go?"

Fingel frustrated again.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Tell them that the original reward will be doubled ten times. You only need to take us 50 kilometers and you can turn back. If they don’t want to, we will leave the sled dogs. We ourselves go."

Lu Chen didn't have the habit of forcing others to do things. These Inuit people were just ordinary people, and the college didn't plan to let the Inuit people take them deep.

At this time, another crew member came and said something in Captain Augustus' ear. Then Augustus looked up and said, "It has been negotiated. The reward will be eightfold and take us 50 kilometers."

Lu Chen turned around and waved at Fingel, "Go back and rest for a while. I'm afraid I won't have such a comfortable environment to sleep in the next few days."

After entering the cabin, he saw that Chu Zihang was speaking to someone he didn't understand.

The other party was a man in a heavy leather jacket, not tall, with a wide nose, and black and straight hair. He was an Inuit.

In fact, there are also Eskimo names, but the Inuit don’t like people calling them "Eskimos" because this term comes from their enemy, the language of the Indian Algonquin tribe, which means "people who eat raw meat." And "Inuit" is what they call themselves, meaning "human."

At this time, the man was still holding a little girl's hand on his left hand, making Lu Chen puzzled and looked at Captain August.

"Because these people have no fixed place, and this gentleman lost his wife in his early years and only has such a daughter, so he has to take it with him wherever he goes. He is also happy because he doesn't want his daughter to take risks with him."

Augustus explained.

"Then let the children stay. Everyone knows what we are going to do, and we can't take the children to take risks."

Lu Chen glanced at the girl with a small face wearing a furry hat. She was about nine years old and ten years old. She was a little short with a little boyishness between her eyebrows, and she probably had a wild personality.

At this time, Chu Zihang seemed to have finished communicating with the other party, and came to Lu Chen, "After discussing it, they will take us further, guide us in the right direction, and then return."

"Well, let's go to rest first, in the evening...it doesn't seem to be night here either. We are planning to leave at nineteen.

Lu Chen knew that Chu Zihang slept very little in the past few days.

The icebreaker continued to advance, but the speed was getting slower and slower. Lu Chen and several people slept in the cabin on the heater, and they were ready to set off after getting up.

"Wow--"

More than thirty Alaskas were released from the cabin by the Inuit

These large dogs were taken off the boat by their owners and happily rolled on the snow. Their fluffy hair and thick fat layer allowed them to adapt to the icy and snowy environment, but they were a little uncomfortable in the warm cabin.

Afterwards, with the help of the commissioners, many supplies were transported to the sled. The high-calorie food was enough for four people to eat in the snow for half a month, and the fuel could keep them warm while resting.

The Inuit picked up his daughter and said something, and then Lu Chen saw that the little girl was a little lost, but returned to the boat obediently.

The Alaskans were chained to the sled one by one, and these trained animals suddenly fell silent, waiting for instructions from their owners.

Chu Zihang checked his equipment and got on a sled. Fingel also teased the big dogs with a novel look. Then he got on another sled, and their sleds were all tied up. Kind of materials.

There is another sled that is the widest. There are sixteen sled dogs in front of it. The bottom of the sled is widened to balance the stress surface. This sled does not sit on people, but only pulls a black box like a coffin.

Lu Chen walked off the boat with a pair of knives on his shoulders, and the commissioners behind him saluted them.

He walked to Chu Zihang's side, took a sleigh with him, and said, "Go."

Originally, the sled dogs were enough to pull four or five sleds, but because Hei Xuan was too heavy, he was released and pulled alone.

Lu Chen originally wanted to walk directly with Hei Xuan on his back. Anyway, he has plenty of energy and it’s not a big deal to travel long distances on the snowy field. However, there are some places where the snow is very thick, and the weight of Hei Xuan on his back is too heavy and he will sink into it, which is more troublesome. .

With a cry from the Inuit, the Alaskas all ran happily, and sledges galloped on the ice.

After traveling for about an hour, the Inuit man asked the Alaskas to stop and said something that Lu Chen couldn't understand.

"He said the dogs need to rest."

Chu Zihang translated.

Lu Chen looked back, and the group of Alaska who was pulling Heixuan was panting, some of them couldn't run, and it was really embarrassing for them.

So a few people stopped to light a fire, and the Inuit took out the food and water from the car and fed it to Alaska.

After doing all this, he walked to Lu Chen's side and said a bunch of words. He knew that this was the subject of this "scientific expedition".

To be honest, the man has always been surprised. This scientific expedition team seems to him suspicious. The people on the ship are not like scientists~www.readwn.com~ but like soldiers. What's more suspicious is that after arriving at the destination, they are actually Let a few young people come down to investigate.

Chu Zihang translated: "He is introducing himself, his name is Verus."

"Verus?"

Lu Chen felt that the name was strange.

"In Inuktitut, it means fluffy and warmth. They are very particular about their names, and they will bless future generations with a beautiful vision."

Chu Zihang explained, and then Verus spoke again.

"He said that we will have to rest for more than half an hour before we can set off, and expect to reach the longest distance he is willing to go deep at about zero.

Chu Zihang continued to translate.

"You tell him that when you get to a certain level, you can take his sleigh back. We won't force him, let him lead the way with confidence."

Lu Chen gave Verus a wide smile, but the other party shrank his neck.

Several people rested for a while and then set off again. At first, Lu Chen admired the scenery of the snowy field and felt very strange, but after watching it for a long time, he felt a little tired.

Snow is everywhere. In the time after the vernal equinox, there is an extreme daylight phenomenon in the depths of the Arctic Circle, which means that there is basically no night here, but it is not always bright day, but drowsy white.

After watching for a long time, you will feel that this snowy field is like a creeping behemoth, with some turbulent crisis hidden, choosing people to eat.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, when there were still seven or eight kilometers away from the previously stated distance, Verus shouted again for the Alaskas to stop.

Their tribe has been passed down from generation to generation. There used to be a deity on this permafrost. The deity blessed all living beings. Legend has it that the place blessed by the deity is warm and snow-free. But then humans angered the deity and were abandoned by the deity. From now on there will be demons coming on this land, devouring all those who dare to find a warm homeland.
