After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

Amid the roaring sound of gasoline saws, Su Mo worked hard for more than half an hour, and finally built three one-meter-high ice walls. They stood in a square shape outside the temporary camp, and the effect of blocking the wind was very good.

When Su Mo returned to the foot of the mountain with the tools, Long Yiyi and Ye Qingchen had already set up the tent. Su Mo carefully checked the iron nails used for fixing around it, and he cut out a few more ice bricks. The iron nails were compacted, and after confirming that everything was correct, he opened the curtain and entered the tent.

At this time, a small stove had been lit in the tent, and the small pot on it was "sizzling" with steam. The smell of beef stew made the temperature in the tent much higher.

This tent is not too small, just enough for three sleeping bags, and there is still a small living area left. Ye Qingchen is packing the sleeping bags and quilts at this time.

Su Mo, who didn't see Long Huayi, quickly asked: "Where is she?"

"Sister Long said there was not enough water and went out to collect snow." Ye Qingchen replied without looking back.

Antarctica has very little pollution, so if the snow here melts into water, it can be boiled and drank directly. However, it was so windy outside that Su Mo was a little worried that she was alone outside, so he said, "I'm going out." Look, stay in your tent and don’t go out.”

Ye Qingchen agreed and continued working. She and Long Huayi had already divided the work. One of them boiled water and cooked, and the other cleaned up. She didn't want to lose to Long Huayi.

Returning to the ice field again, Su Mo lowered his head and looked at the ground. He immediately saw the footprints that had not been completely covered by the snow, so he followed the direction of the footprints to look for Long Yiyi.

She walked along the mountain peaks to avoid getting lost in the wind and snow. It was indeed a detail that only people who often survive in the wild would know.

After a while, Su Mo saw a big bucket filled with white snow, but Long Yiyi stood beside the mountain wall motionless. His clothes were already covered with snow. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was snow. It's a snowman.

Su Mo frowned, walked quickly to her side, followed her gaze, and immediately saw the body beside the cliff.

Yes, it's a corpse.

This is the corpse of an adult male. His appearance is that of a Westerner, and his clothing is obviously not a product of these years, but more like something from nearly 100 years ago.

The first recorded human landing on the Antarctic ice sheet was in 1911. Since then, countless national scientific expedition teams or adventurers have arrived, and it is not uncommon for people to die here.

Just like the mountain trails of Mount Everest, climbers often see frozen corpses, and they even become signposts for those who come after them.

In this extremely low temperature environment, the body will not rot, but will dehydrate quickly and be preserved permanently.

Obviously, Long Yiyi accidentally dug up this century-old corpse while digging in the snow, so she was standing here in a daze, but her mental quality shouldn't be so bad.

Thinking of this, Su Mo patted her shoulder.

Long Huayi was startled, obviously not realizing that Su Mo had arrived.

"How did you come?"

She was wrapped up tightly and wore sunglasses, so Su Mo couldn't see her expression, but judging from her tone, something was wrong with her current state.

"Don't be in a daze, pick the snow and go back quickly, the snowstorm is coming soon."

As he said that, Su Mo poured out the snow in the bucket, and then dug out clean snow around again. However, Long Yaoyi did not move. Instead, he asked, "Will we freeze to death here like him?"

"No." Su Mo raised his head, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Don't you have great confidence in me? Don't worry, I will bring you back safely."

Long Yiyi nodded absently, then went over to help Su Mo dig up the snow.

When the two returned to the campground, the snowstorm had officially arrived. At this time, the wind speed had reached at least 10 meters per second. The biting wind swept up the snow on the ground, blocking the sky and making it difficult to see the road. Only the direction of the tent could be vaguely seen.

Even though they were only about 20 meters away from the tent, they walked as slowly as a turtle. If Su Mo hadn't been strong enough, the two of them wouldn't have been able to move forward at all.

After returning to the tent in the blizzard, Su Mo put down the snow bucket and quickly zipped it up. If he didn't do this, the wind and snow would fill the entire tent in a minute or two, and the tent would be pushed away by the wind. The consequences would be Unthinkable.

After shaking off the broken snow on his body, Su Mo realized that Long Yayi was sitting on the blanket blankly, not moving.

"what happened?"

Su Mo couldn't understand why the always strong Long Yaoyi became like this after seeing a frozen corpse, but it was hard for him to ask questions about this kind of thing, so he said: "Please clean the snow on your clothes. It will be troublesome if you catch a cold and get sick.”

After hearing this, Long Yiyi started to clean up his clothes, like a puppet on strings, losing the ability to think.

In desperation, Su Mo had to take over the cooking job. Although they had supplies, they actually didn't have much to eat, mainly beef and mutton, not to mention vegetables.

But being able to eat a bowl of hot beef and a cup of fragrant coffee in this environment is already a very luxurious thing.

At the dinner table, Ye Qingchen also noticed that something was wrong with Long Yiyi, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic: "Who do you think damaged our car?"

"I have a suspect." Su Mo took up the topic.

Hearing this, Ye Qingchen quickly asked: "Are they the mechanics? They are the only ones who have touched the car."

Su Mo shook his head, then picked up two pieces of beef, put them into the two women's bowls, and said, "No, it's someone else."

"other people?"

Ye Qingchen didn't understand: "But it's not that easy to completely damage the car, right?"

Su Mo didn't understand this and wanted Long Huayi to recover, so he asked her, "You found out the problem, what do you think?"

Only then did Long Yiyi come back to his senses. He pursed his lips and said, "It's actually very simple to damage a car. You just need to add a small bottle of beverage or drinking water to the lubricating oil. After the vehicle is started, the oil will It emulsifies gradually and over time the engine will be damaged and it will be difficult to repair.”

"This shows that it is premeditated to target us!"

Ye Qingchen puffed up his lips: "If the car breaks down right after we set off and we can go back right away, but it breaks down just in time for us to get halfway, if it weren't for Su Mo's magical bubbles, we would be doomed."

"That's the truth."

Long Yiyi nodded. She finally recovered a little at this time and said: "But who wants to harm me? I received this mission temporarily, and no one outside knew about it. The people on the ship and I also There is no conflict of interest.”

"It's not about you."

Su Mo smiled: "I think someone wants me to die."
