Chapter 1360 Lost(1/2)
"The sewing machine is not important. I just want to stay in the cabin and not go anywhere."
Hanno said straightforwardly, "I have no interest in accompanying the major on hunting, let alone working as a retriever."
"It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards the major?" Wei Ran extended the topic in a mocking manner.
"Resentment? No, no, no, I have never had any resentment towards him."
Hanno's tone was particularly candid when he said this, "Anyway, he is our mountaineering instructor, and it is because of him that the two of us had the opportunity to avoid the battlefields in Europe and come to Antarctica.
Although this hellish place is colder than the top of the Alps, at least you don’t have to worry about being sent to the front line, right?”
"That's true."
Wei Ran nodded in agreement. This was indeed the case. Although they had just met the pursuers yesterday, the intensity of the fighting would probably not be even a fraction of that on any battlefield in Europe.
"It would be nice to work in Antarctica until the end of the war."
Hanno said happily, "It would be great if my parents and wife could come here to work."
"You should be satisfied if you can get that sewing machine."
Wei Ran said dumbfounded, "Besides, the sleeping bag you made started to smell like it was thrown into a dung heap, and it gave me nightmares."
"I smell it too"
Hanno grinned, "I'm not a professional tailor, I just made it casually based on our sleeping bags. Let's not talk about it, Victor, have you noticed Dr. Jorg and the other three?"
"What happened to them?" Wei Ran asked, pretending to be confused.
After a moment's hesitation, Hanno whispered, "They want me to help them get the compass. Didn't they also ask you for help?"
"I would have forgotten about it if you didn't tell me," Wei Ran suddenly realized, "What are your plans? Are you ready to help them?"
"I'm not going to help them."
Hanno replied without thinking, "But I can roughly guess what they want to do?"
"Tell me about it?"
Hearing this, Hanno simply stopped the sleigh completely, and then sat in the seat vacated by Wei Ran, "Victor, are there any cigarettes? How about giving me a cigarette?"
"certainly"
Wei Ran nodded happily, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it into his mouth, then gave all the remaining cigarettes to Hannuo.
Hanno couldn't wait to light a cigarette, and then moved the kerosene lamp hanging on the rear of the sled between the two of them, and then he made a wild guess, "Carsten is a geologist, and Dr. Cross is a naturalist."
Scholars, they must be trying to find out the location of the mine, but as for Dr. Yog, I wouldn’t have guessed that he was obviously good friends with the major, but yet he was so close to Carsten and the others.”
"When you put it like that, even I started to wonder where that mine is and what it contains."
Wei Ran said in a joking tone, "What exactly was sent away in the first cycle of Qi Qi?"
"I'm afraid only Major Schubert knows where that mine is."
Hanno took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Maybe I don't even know where he is. Who knows? Although I have been to the warehouse, I have never been to the mine. Dr. Cross and Mr. Carsten have been, but I heard
Said they were blindfolded by Schubert on the way."
"So what was given away a week ago..."
"I heard from Dr. Yog that it seems to be the fossil of some kind of animal."
Hanno shared the secret he knew without reservation, "But I haven't seen it either. That thing was previously kept by Dr. Cross and Mr. Carsten, and they wouldn't show it to me."
At this point, Hanno lowered his voice and said, "But I know another secret."
"What secret?" Wei Ran asked with interest.
"How about another pack of cigarettes?" Hanno made his small request.
"No problem at all"
Wei Ran happily opened his hiking bag, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Hannuo.
"We are on our way to the warehouse"
Hanno took the cigarette and said firmly, "You know, the major and I went to the warehouse twice, both when we went there to receive airdrops, so I remember the way."
At this point, Hannuo raised his finger and pointed in the direction and said, "It's probably in that direction. If it's daytime, you'll see the shadow of a mountain range. Just keep walking in that direction and you'll find the warehouse. There are quite a few there.
As for the supplies, I guess the major is planning to take us there to hide them."
"Isn't there a sewing machine or something there?" Wei Ran asked jokingly, suppressing the shock in his heart.
"There is definitely no sewing machine."
Hanno was extraordinarily honest, "But the supplies there are definitely enough for us to last until summer."
Wei Ran asked, "Can't you tell me in detail what is there?"
"There's a lot of coal and kerosene, as well as generators and a lot of cans and other supplies."
Hannuo thought for a while, "That's probably it. Oh, the last airdrop dropped a lot of weather balloons and so on. I guess they plan to build a weather station there."
At this point, Hanno took the last puff of his cigarette, stood up with the kerosene lamp, and walked to the back of the sleigh and said, "Okay, Victor, it's time for us to set off to find the penguins. If we can still do it this time,
After saving so much penguin down, I will definitely find a way to wash them and make them into sleeping bags."
"I hope so"
Wei Ran also sat up straight as he spoke, holding up his telescope and continuing to search for traces of the penguin colony on the ice sheet shrouded in the aurora.
As time passed by, the sled they were riding on left longer and longer marks on the snow, and their body temperature became lower and lower.
"Stop!"
On the sleigh, Wei Ran, who occasionally raised his telescope, suddenly shouted, "Hanno! I think I saw a penguin!"
"where?!"
"Two o'clock direction!" Wei Ran responded immediately.
Hearing this, Hannuo immediately ordered the dogs to stop, raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That area is obviously different in color from the snow!"
Weiran raised the telescope again and reminded, "Did you see it? They seem to be still moving!"
"I saw!"
Hanno shouted excitedly, "I saw it, a penguin! That is indeed a penguin!"
"It's been more than two hours since we left the camp." Wei Ran glanced at the time displayed on his watch, "Would you like to take a closer look?"
"Walk!"
Hanno responded happily, felt the wind direction for a while, and then ordered the dogs to pull the sleigh in a circle, approaching the astonishing penguin colony from the downwind position.
As the distance got closer and closer, the huddled penguins in the telescope became clearer and clearer.
Even the two of them could clearly smell the unique fishy smell of penguin daddy in the cold wind blowing in front of them.
"Shall we go back?" Hanno put down his telescope and asked excitedly.
"Let's go back." As Wei Ran spoke, he also put down the telescope.
Without wasting any time, Hanno stuffed each dog's mouth with a piece of seal meat the size of a mahjong piece as quickly as possible. After they had eaten it, he immediately pulled the reins and turned around and started walking back.
Compared with the stop-and-go when they came, the two went back much faster. It only took them about an hour and a half before they saw the kerosene lamp hanging between the two tents one after another.
"Major, Penguin! We found the penguin!"
Far away, Hannuo shouted excitedly, "It's in the direction we just went! It's about an hour and a half away!"
"Major, do we want to leave now?" Dr. Jorg asked immediately before the sleigh stopped.
"It's already past ten o'clock in the evening"
Major Schubert looked up at the night sky full of auroras, and after a moment's hesitation said, "No, we're leaving now. We have to replenish enough food supplies before the weather gets bad!"
Now that Major Schubert has made a decision, no one will object. Suddenly, the camp that was set up yesterday was immediately dismantled and loaded onto the sleds, and the dogs who had had enough rest also got on the sleds.
Wei Ran and Hanno were still arranged to take charge of the sleigh at the back, with Schubert at the front, following the sled tracks in the direction of the group of penguins.
When the pointer on the dial on Weiran's wrist pointed to 23:19, a group of six sleighs stopped at the spot where Weiran and Hanno once stopped at the edge of the penguin colony.
He raised his telescope and glanced in the direction of the penguin group. After a moment of hesitation, Major Schubert said, "I'm going to hunt penguins. You guys can find a place nearby to set up a camp."
Before he finished speaking, he had already ordered an empty sleigh, pulled his precious cipher machine and ran towards the direction of the penguin.
The others looked at each other, and Hannuo pointed to a large protrusion not far away that was covered with snow and couldn't tell whether it was a stone or blue ice and said, "Let's go there!"
Naturally, Wei Ran and the others had no problem with it. They shouted and drove the sleigh pulling the materials that the major had just unloaded in a hurry to the side of the bulge that was about three meters high above the ground.
"Luckily, it's a piece of ice!"
As Hanno spoke, he had fixed the sleigh and started digging in the lee of the ice with a snow shovel.
He became more and more skilled in cooperating with these people to dig out the snow. Before they could use the sleigh to lay the foundation, crisp gunshots were heard one after another from the direction of the penguin colony.
Soon, Schubert used a sleigh to pull two huge emperor penguins back.
"It's Emperor Penguin"
