The wind was blowing, the sun was blocked, the snow was falling, and the world was white.

Soon, even with binoculars, they couldn't see penguins tens of meters away.

It was too cold outside, and everyone couldn't see the penguins, so they went back to the cabin to hide from the snowstorm.

Lu Ao was not too afraid of the cold, but Lin Qiyan was not. After standing outside for a while, his teeth chattered and his face turned blue. Even though he was wearing a jacket, he was still cold.

There was too much wind outside and the temperature dropped quickly.

Seeing him like this, Lu Ao reached out to take his binoculars, "Don't look at it, go back to avoid the wind first."

Lin Qiyan's nose turned red from the cold. Hearing this, he sniffed and looked away reluctantly, "It's too cold here."

During the day, the temperature reached five or six degrees Celsius above zero for a while, but now the temperature has dropped to minus six or seven degrees Celsius below zero.

With this temperature on the thermometer, Lin Qiyan felt that his body was even colder, even if he was wearing a windproof suit, it would not help.

Many people on the ship returned to their cabins, and many went to the restaurant. Everyone sat and chatted while waiting for the snowstorm to stop.

Their time for this trip is limited. Except for the scientific research personnel, the rest of the people can stay on the Antarctic continent for at most two or three days. They must hurry up to see the penguins. After all, the chance to see the penguins is one less time.

Antarctic snowstorms come and go quickly.

After more than an hour, the wind and snow outside stopped, and the sun reappeared.

During the polar day in Antarctic summer, the position of the sun is not always the same. Now the sun is closer to the horizon.

Seeing that the sun was coming out, the members of the expedition team on board hurriedly informed the first round of landing people to prepare.

The first round of logins were almost all from the program team. They had been trained in the evening, but when they really wanted to log in, everyone was in a hurry.

The expedition team has a lot of experience in landing on the Antarctic continent. Seeing that they were in a panic, they first came to appease them and gave them another emergency training.

All those who were going to land put on life jackets, got off the scientific research boat, and boarded polar kayaks.

The sky outside is still bright, but the light is not very sufficient. It feels a bit like evening. There are ice floes everywhere, and I can't see clearly.

The polar rowing boat moved forward slowly under the operation of the expedition team.

The kayak creaked as it rolled over the ice floe.

Lin Qiyan was very eager to reach out and touch these floes, but for the sake of the Antarctic ecology, he held back and did not do anything.

He stared at the ice floes in the sea, "The ice is too blue, completely different from what we usually see."

Lu Ao said behind him: "The ice may have been accumulated for tens of thousands of years, and of course it is different from the ice that has been quickly frozen."

Lin Qiyan was speechless, "It's not such an exaggeration as tens of thousands of years?"

The foreign expedition members who were kayaking in the back heard their conversation and said seriously in their unproficient Chinese: "Yes, some of them have been frozen for many years. Huge icebergs fell off and flowed into the sea.”

He spoke very slowly, Lin Qiyan listened carefully, and asked after listening, "Is the ice loss serious?"

"Very serious." The expedition team looked up into the distance, "In the past, a large area was covered with ice fields, but now the ice has disappeared, and you can directly see the exposed rocks."

When he spoke, his expression was filled with infinite melancholy.

Just had a blizzard, the amount of snowfall is actually not very big.

The new snow was not piled very thick, and some rocks could be seen directly.

Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan looked up together.

They couldn't imagine what it would be like to have this vast area completely covered in snow.

Others in the kayak also heard their conversation.

Compared with the Antarctic continent covered by ice and snow, most people are actually a little disappointed when they see the bare rocks directly.

They came here to see an eternal world of ice and snow. These yellow-brown exposed rocks are too down-to-earth, just like the stones seen at the door of the house, nothing special.

Only after hearing this did they realize that Antarctica was not like this a few years ago.

There was more or less melancholy on everyone's face.

Fortunately, not all places are exposed to rocks, many places are still covered with ice, and now there is snow on them, which looks good.

Their polar kayak was relatively slow, and it took more than ten minutes of staggering to get close to the land.

The members of the expedition team emphasized again, "When we get to the land, please don't leave any real objects, and don't take any real objects away. When visiting penguins, please be sure to keep a distance of more than five meters from them."

When the people on several nearby kayaks heard this, they all responded in unison: "Understood!"

The Antarctic continent is too remote.

There have been no humans or alien animals here for thousands of years. If humans get too close, they can easily infect them with their own viruses, which will deal a fatal blow to the fragile penguins.

When the polar kayak docked, the expedition team went up first, and then turned around to pull the program crew.

The landing process is more difficult than everyone imagined. The ground is wet and slippery. Most people's cores are not stable, and they will slip and fall to the ground as soon as they go up crookedly.

The people in the program group have to undertake the filming work. Many people carry equipment on their bodies. These equipment and protective equipment are relatively heavy. In addition, people are already wearing thick clothes, which makes it difficult to move. In this case, everyone log in The process is almost rolling and climbing.

They were too embarrassed, Lu Ao raised his head and said to the expedition team: "I will go up first and assist you to land."

Hearing this, the coordinator at the back hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, let Xiao Lu go up first, he's better at it, so he can help."

The expedition team had no objection, and reached out to pull him, "Be careful."

It's okay for them to fall down on land. If they accidentally slip into the water, in this kind of weather, even just soaking in the water will make them sick.

Once sick, the experience of this trip to Antarctica will be greatly reduced.

Lu Ao's footsteps were fast and steady, and he landed on the shore with almost no need for the expedition team to pull him.

The expedition team also saw that he was good at skills, so they were a little relieved.

As soon as he shot, everyone quickly found that he had great strength, steady movements, and excellent balance.

The coordinator was amazed, "Xiao Lu, your skills are good, it seems like you have practiced martial arts."

Lu Ao said, "Nothing."

They landed in piles, and the people quickly dispersed at the landing point.

The penguins quickly noticed their movements and leaned over curiously.

Humans hardly catch penguins, and for penguins, humans are a very friendly species.

Not only are they not afraid of humans, but they also like humans very much.

Soon, several emperor penguins gathered around.

These are still cubs of emperor penguins, the fluff on their bodies has not been washed off, and they look chubby, like a fluffy ball

The eyes of the people who had just landed immediately lit up. Regardless of men or women, seeing this group of emperor penguin cubs staggering over, their hearts almost melted.

"Oh my god, they're too cute."

"Why are these emperor penguin cubs so tall? I really want to rub them!"

"Control it, don't reach out!"

The cry of emperor penguins is a bit like that of geese.

They get close quickly and seem to want to get up close and personal with people.

The people who were so cute just now avoided them and went around to the distance.

Emperor penguins don't walk fast, at least much slower than humans.

They have a very docile personality, and when they are on the ice, their movements are a bit slow.

It is relatively easy for people to avoid them.

Lu Ao assisted the remaining people to land, and soon, everyone landed except the staff who stayed to take care of the kayaks.

The emperor penguin got very close, and everyone quickly ran away in a circle, and the crowd dispersed immediately.

Lu Ao looked at the emperor penguin cubs looking at them curiously, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

These emperor penguin cubs were so fat that Lu Ao could feel the fat in their chubby bodies.

They look very fat, especially at the buttocks, which makes people want to touch them.

They were already within five meters, so Lu Ao circled around, avoided them, and distanced themselves from them.

Others also walked around, taking pictures and circling with the emperor penguins, making all kinds of strange noises in their mouths, trying to attract the emperor penguins' attention and let them look at the camera.

The emperor penguin cubs are very soft and docile, and they almost look in the direction of the voice, which is very cooperative.

They don't chase humans, and the way they stand with their heads tilted when they hear the sound is so cute that people's liver trembles.

Everyone was more relaxed when taking photos with emperor penguins.

The director hurriedly called everyone over to prepare to shoot the corresponding interactive scenes.

They had just landed, and hadn't gone far inland. The native creatures here are penguins and penguins.

But penguins seem to be different from penguins.

Lu Ao turned his head and looked around, and soon saw a short figure.

The whole body of the figure was only black and white, and the white rings around the eyes were very obvious.

That's an Adélie penguin.

There are many Adélie penguins on the Antarctic continent, much more than emperor penguins.

The Adélie penguins here should not be the same population that he and Songzhou saw in the early morning, even though they look similar.

Lu Ao watched Adélie penguins approaching them and reminded, "Everyone be careful—"

Everyone turned their heads and saw two Adélie penguins walking slowly. Compared with the one-meter-high emperor penguin, the Adélie penguin, which was only fifty or sixty centimeters tall, was too short.

No one took Lu Ao's reminder to heart.

"Adelie Penguin!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

For a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at the two Adélie penguins that appeared in the field of vision.

The walking posture of these two little guys is cuter than that of emperor penguins. They spread their small wings, lean forward slightly, sway slightly, and rush over with strides.

Everyone turned their cameras and took pictures in surprise.

Before Lu Ao had time to further remind, Adélie penguins are fierce.

These two little guys are already close to people.

When it appeared three or four meters away, a certain man in the red hat who was taking pictures realized it after a while and quickly backed away.

However, it was too late at this time, the Adélie penguin spread its small wings, approached him fiercely, and stretched its neck to peck him.

This scene has the momentum of a country goose pecking at people.

"Ah—" the man in the red hat was startled, and backed away again and again.

Everyone also screamed.

Standing next to Lu Ao, Lin Qiyan was stunned when he saw this scene, "Why is this penguin so fierce?"

"It was inherently fierce."

Lu Ao replied, and hurried over to help.

The Adélie penguin is not afraid of people at all, it has already approached, stretching its neck to peck the thigh of the man in the red hat.

"Ah—" the man in the red hat stepped back in horror, waving his hands, "You, you, don't come here!"

He still holds the camera in one hand, which looks dangerous.

Lu Ao reminded, "Be careful!"

This reminder is already too late.

The man in the red hat deliberately avoided the Adélie penguin, even if he still waved his arms, it was just to scare it.

Seeing the Adélie penguin approaching, he quickly raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender to ensure that his hands would not touch the penguin.

He can take care of his hands, but not his feet.

At this moment, he kicked a stone with his back foot and slipped, because he couldn't keep his balance with his hands above his head, so he turned over and fell backwards.

No one expected this change, and the expedition team hurried over to make a rescue, but it was already too late.

The man in the red hat fell firmly to the ground with a muffled "boom", obviously the fall was not light.

Adelie Penguin was frightened by the movement, backed away in a hurry, swayed and ran to the side.

Lu Ao walked to the man in the red hat and helped him up, "Are you all right?"

"It's nothing serious." The man in the red hat groaned in pain, his eyes still a little out of focus, "It just fell to the lower back."
