Chapter 1722： Save people in the storm

"Quick, use all the wedges!" Facing this weather situation, Knutson was the most experienced, and he shouted loudly.

The other people also got busy. They smashed the wedges onto the ice, smashed them deeply, and hit the outside of the tent, and then tied the rope to the wedges to secure the tent. It’s important Everything was put in the tent. As for all the people, they got into the ice house, they were tightly packed.

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

That Niels ran away by himself. Inside the ice house, they could escape the bad weather. However, the Niels outside, I'm afraid it's more fortunate.

Hearing the translated words of Oort, Knutson and another Inuit hunter looked at him with grateful eyes. Knutson said, “It’s too late. Niels is what he chose. Going out, now, since the weather is bad, I can only blame him for his bad luck."

At this time, the Germans had not forgotten to save their companions. Knutson was very grateful, and at the same time he knew that he could not put the Germans in danger.

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

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

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

So, two dozen sled dogs, pulling a large sled, and three people, set off on the road. The boy who acted as an interpreter also followed. After this time, he will definitely look more like a loud man.

Knutson’s legs are still inconvenient. He sat on the sleigh, 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 one month Nice weather."

Suddenly, Oort was overjoyed. He came out this time to find the weather conditions and laws of Greenland and the nearby sea. The old hunter's statement is too valuable for reference.

This is also based on scientific evidence. Strong convective weather is constantly accumulated. Hot air and cold air continue to accumulate, and finally interweave, and there is a strong storm. After the storm, these air currents disappeared. It also takes time to accumulate.

Of course, you won't just listen to the old Orion's words and combine the observation data from these days to get the correct result.

The data observed every day seems to be boring. When they are put together, it has very important meaning.

"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.

He was holding an ice hammer in his hand, and at the same time, with vicissitudes of eyes, looking at the sled dogs in front of him who were pulling the sled. There were his sled dogs and Niels’s. He could bark every one. Name it.

These sled dogs are also experienced and realized that the bad weather is coming. Now that they are going out, it must be an urgent matter.

"Niels, Niels, where are you? Can you hear it?" Knutson shouted loudly. There was nothing on the empty ice sheet, and there was no echo.

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

The rolling golden white clouds are getting closer and closer, and you can already feel the whirring arctic wind, starting to accelerate.

Quick, quick!

The sled dog continued to run wildly. Suddenly, a sled dog on the side fell down without warning. It fell to the side of the ice and could no longer get up.

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

The other sled dogs stopped in a spirited manner, wagging their tails, and walked slowly towards where it was lying.

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

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

Untied the rope of the sled dog, Knutson muttered a few words in silence and then got on the sled again.

Have to go on.

The sled dogs once again faithfully pulled their ropes and ran forward. The sled dogs that had closed their eyes had something crystal clear in the corner of their eyes.

"Huh, huh." The wind was blowing harder and harder, looking at the rolling clouds directly above, Knutson said: "The storm is coming soon, we can't make it to the supply station, take shelter right there!"

How to avoid the severe weather in the polar regions? Of course, I dug a hole in the ice sheet to find a place leeward. From a distance, I saw a frozen soil slope, and immediately drove the sled dogs to the frozen soil slope.

When he ran to the bottom of the slope, suddenly, Knutson's eyes lit up: "Niels, Niels!"

Niels, who walked over, has exhausted all his strength. Now, he is lying under the soil slope, waiting for the terrible weather to come. Roll up.

Now, seeing the sleigh and the people on the sleigh, Niels’ eyes again revealed the desire for survival.

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

Niels knew that he could not survive the storm. In this terrible weather, the Germans were still risking their lives to save himself. He had realized that his choice was wrong.

Last time it was because of responsibility, and now, he has been free from the shackles of responsibility. From then on, the German is his master.

"Quickly, use an ice axe to chisel this place!" Knutson didn't blame Nils, shouting loudly, time is running out, if they can carve a perfect cave before the storm arrives. That would be the best.

Soon, the storm swallowed the entire ice cap area.
