Chapter 1722: Saving people in the storm 5)

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

The others were also busy, smashing wedges one by one on the ice, smashing them deeply, and hitting them outside the tent, then tied ropes to the wedges, fixing the tent, and put all the important things into the tent. As for everyone, they got into the icy room, and they squeezed tightly.

"Wait." Oult said: "What should I do with Niels outside?"

That Niels ran away by himself. In the icy house, they could escape the bad weather, but Niels outside would probably be in danger.

Hearing the translated words of Olter, Knutson and another Inuit hunter looked at him with gratitude. Knutson said, "It's too late. Niels chose to go out. Now, since he encountered bad weather, he can only blame himself 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 the Germans could not be brought to danger.

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

Oult was going to save Niels, and the two people in front of him were about to burst into tears. Knutson said, "I'll go with you. I've had experience in this climate, and my dog ​​is the smartest."

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

So, more than twenty sled dogs, pulling a large sled, and three people set off on the road. The boy who acted as a translator also followed him. After this time, he would definitely look like a well-known man.

Knutson's legs were still inconvenient to move. He sat on the sled and looked at the weather outside and said, "This kind of storm hasn't been seen in several years. After this storm has passed, there will be good weather for at least one month."

Suddenly, Ort was delighted. This time he came out to find the meteorological conditions and rules of Greenland and the nearby seas. The old hunter's statement is so valuable for reference.

This is also scientifically based. The weather with strong convection is constantly accumulated, and hot air and cold air are constantly accumulating, and finally intertwined, and a strong storm appeared. After the storm, these airflows disappeared, and the next accumulation will take time to accumulate.

Of course, you won’t just listen to the old hunter’s words, and combine the observation data these days to get the correct results.

The data observed every day seems boring, and when they are combined, it is of great significance.

"Hold the ice hammer, and 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 held an ice hammer in his hand, and at the same time, he looked at the sled dogs pulling sleds in front of him. There were his sled dogs and Niels's. He could name each one.

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

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

"There is a supply point nearby, and Niels is likely to go there. Only after he goes to the supply point can he return to our settlement." Knutson said, urging the sled dogs to continue running forward.

The rolling golden white clouds were getting closer and closer, and you could already feel the whistling Arctic wind, which began to blow over faster.

Quick, hurry!

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

Its long tongue was spitting out in its mouth, its body was still rising and falling, and it was still breathing, but it just couldn't get up.

The other sled dogs stopped in a sympathy, wag their tails, and walked slowly towards the place where they were lying.

Knutson's eyes were filled with pain. When he limped down, the sled dog had closed his eyes and stopped breathing. It was exhausted alive.

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

Unlocking the rope of the sled dog, Knutson muttered a few words silently, and then got on the sled again.

I have to continue leaving.

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

"Hu, Hu." The wind became stronger and stronger. Looking at the rolling clouds directly above, Knutson said: "The storm is coming soon. We can't get to the supply station, so we can hide on the spot!"

How to hide from the bad weather in the polar regions? Of course, I was digging holes on the ice cover and looking for a place to leeward. From a distance, I saw a frozen soil slope and immediately drove the sled dogs to the frozen soil slope.

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

Niels, who had walked over, had exhausted all his strength. Now, he was lying under the dirt slope, waiting for the terrible weather to come. He had no strength left. Maybe he would be swept up by this strong wind in a while.

Now, seeing the sled and seeing the people on the sled, Nils's eyes revealed the desire to survive.

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

Niels knew that he could not survive the storm. In this terrible weather, the Germans risked their lives to save themselves. He realized that his choice was wrong.

Last time it was because of responsibility, but now he has been free from the shackles of responsibility, and from then on, the Germans have been his master.

"Hurry, use the ice axe to chisel here!" Knutson did not blame Niels, and shouted loudly. Time was too long, and it would be best if they could chisel a perfect cave before the storm came completely.

Soon, the storm swallowed up the entire ice cap area.
