Mu Sicheng lowered his head, rummaged through the thick, 33-year temperature records handed to him by the pile of white willows, and found the coldest place on August [-] the year before last.

The latitude and longitude of this location are clearly marked in the record, which is exactly where Bai Liu and the others are now.

Tang Erda moved the radar detector to the ice, exhaled hot air, straightened up and turned to look at Bai Liu: "It's still the old rule, first to detect and then to drill?"

Bai Liu nodded.

Tang Erda moved the weighing hydraulic hammer to the ice surface, and after carefully checking that there were no ice crevasses nearby, he climbed into the helicopter and began to operate the instruments.

Liu Jiayi returned to the helicopter with him.

The wind in this place was so strong that it almost had the force to sweep her flat, forcing her to get back to the helicopter.

Liu Jiayi put her hands on Tang Erda's driver's seat, put her feet on her feet and tried her best to look at the radar screen on the dashboard.

The instrument scanned down layer by layer, and finally scanned a regular-shaped metal object at a distance of more than 1000 meters. This discovery made her frown: "So deep? How long will it take to dig?"

"It's conservatively estimated that it will take more than six hours of work." Tang Erda rubbed his hands that were red from the cold when carrying the equipment, and frowned, "It's a bit troublesome, the temperature here is too low, even if a few of us take turns to work, rest There is no way for people to keep warm because the fuel is also running out."

"It would be dangerous if you had to dig it forcibly."

Liu Jiayi looked at the thermometer hanging by Tang Erda's hand, raised her head and asked him: "But the temperature here is not very low now, only more than 30 degrees below zero. You were not in the environment of more than 50 degrees below zero at Taishan Station before. Have you worked safely here, why is it more dangerous to work here?"

"Because the wind speed here is too strong." Tang Erda explained solemnly, "In Antarctica, wind is something colder than snow."

"The low temperature will only slowly take away the heat of the person, but the high-speed wind will take away the body temperature of the person's body faster. We have been exposed to this wind speed for work, and our imperfect equipment and warmth are easily destroyed by the strong wind. It takes away a lot of heat and is directly blown to death by the wind."

Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu and the others who were stabilizing the equipment outside the helicopter.

Mu Sicheng and Mu Ke were so cold that their faces turned purple in just a few minutes, and they kept making slight movements on the snow to keep warm. Tang Erda rarely showed some anxiety: "I'll go down and replace them." Bar."

"But you can't last long under this kind of strong wind, and you will also be frozen like this." Liu Jiayi thought clearly and pointed out the crux of the matter, "Even if each of us takes turns to be frozen and forcibly dig out our hearts, we will freeze to death sooner or later. Question - Because we don't have supplies to warm up, are we running low on fuel?"

Liu Jiayi paused again and again, but still couldn't help saying:

"We don't need to fight Spade in this game for the time being. It's normal that we can't win him now. We can persuade Bai Liu to log out first."

"Whether it's the task of digging a heart below 1000 meters, or winning spades, it's too brazen for us!!"

Liu Jiayi held onto the frame of the helicopter tightly, her eyes were red, and there were some faint tears inside. Her voice seemed a little weak in the wind and snow, just like a real helpless little girl:

"Spades are really scary. I've seen Hearts play against him. She asked me if I was sure I could save her from Spades. I didn't answer her at that time."

"But now I can tell you the answer. The answer is absolutely not. I am completely incapable of saving any of my teammates from Spades." Liu Jiayi sobbed for a while, her fingers holding the helicopter frame were thin and white, "...I don't want to see Spade kill Bai Liu, just like he threw [White Willow] into the strong acid pool before."

"He will definitely lose, and I can't save him."

Liu Jiayi burst into tears: "But I'm not sure I can persuade Bai Liu to leave the game, he trusts you even more, can you help me persuade him?"

Tang Er looked back at the little girl with tears in her eyes who sincerely begged him, her expression was so fragile, he realized in a trance that this little witch who was always bloody and cruel in his memory, and extremely clever was also afraid.

——The scene she saw at Edmond Station still frightened her.

Even though the frightened little girl hadn't shown anything since boarding the plane, she was so calm that she waited for Bai Liu to leave before trying to conspire with him.

Tang Er's stepping foot stopped slightly, and then he continued to take a step outside, sinking deeply into the snow. He turned his head to control the helicopter, looked up at Liu Jiayi by the door, and the wind knocked the brim of his hat away. The animal plush around the edges is blown loose.

Liu Jiayi was right, but Bai Liu was a tactician.

——This is an unquestionable identity.

"Are you questioning the tactician's decision?" Tang Erda asked in a deep voice.

Liu Jiayi bit her lower lip and stopped talking.

"Never question the tactician's decision." Tang Erda looked up at Liu Jiayi, "The moment he made a decision, he was already prepared to sacrifice his life for the victory - Bai Liu knew the consequences of all this better than you. "

"But for the tactician, winning the game is the most important thing, and all you, as his player, have to do is execute his decisions and win the game."

Liu Jiayi's voice became hoarse: "...Even for this victory, it doesn't matter if Bai Liu dies?"

Tang Erda said calmly: "Yes, it doesn't matter."

"Because that's what he wanted."

After Tang Erda finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving heavy footprints in the snow.

Liu Jiayi stood by the door and looked down at the footprints for a while, took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from her eyes, turned around and began to search for maps and information.

She gritted her teeth and thought fiercely - just die, if you die, you have to survive this calamity first, dig out your heart first.

Can't freeze to death here!

When Bai Liu and the others were replaced by Tang Erda with the drilling machine, Liu Jiayi had already skillfully set up camp on the snow, and even took out the heating equipment to keep the three of them warm.

Mu Sicheng was shivering while holding a cup of hot water, and the words he said were trembling with cold waves: "Damn~ah~ too~it's too~cold~!"

Liu Jiayi handed Bai Liu a small plush blanket, and Bai Liu took it and wiped the ends of her icy hair: "Thank you."

"The fuel is almost running out." Liu Jiayi calmly began to describe the objective dilemma after the group of people recovered, "Because there is still enough fuel for the helicopter to fly, and we don't have enough fuel for six hours."

Bai Liu just thought about it for a while, and then proposed a solution: "Are there other observation stations nearby? We can go and search the map to see if there is any fuel and supplies to replenish."

"Yes, that's right, I thought so too." Liu Jiayi took out a map and spread it between her and Bai Liu, "But I checked it carefully and only found a place where there might be a material reserve."

Liu Jiayi pointed to a log cabin sign on the map: "This is Scott's cabin. This is a cultural relic, which was left when the early explorers came over in 1912."

Mu Ke breathed on his palm while poking his head over: "But this kind of cultural relic building is still made of wood and is flammable. Will there be a lot of fuel reserves inside?"

"Yes." Liu Jiayi nodded affirmatively, "I flipped through Edmund's books, and there was a travel brochure in it, which contained a lot of introductions about this Scott's cabin, because this cabin is still being maintained and renovated, There are people living near it, so there are fuel reserves."

Bai Liu nodded: "It's not far from this place, we can walk directly to Scott's cabin to have a look."

He simply ordered: "Muke, Mu Sicheng, and Jiayi, you all go with me, take a small part of fuel and supplies, and leave most of the rest to Captain Tang. He has strong cold resistance, has the ability to pilot helicopters, and He is more familiar with Antarctica, let him focus on drilling and excavation here."

"When we get there, call him a satellite phone. If there is gas, let him come to refuel. If not, let him continue to stand by."

Bai Liu looked around: "Does anyone have any comments?"

Mu Ke and Mu Sicheng: "No."

Liu Jiayi pursed her lips, but did not answer.

Bai Liu looked at her quietly.

Liu Jiayi raised her red eyes and looked at him for a while: "Do you have to win spades?"

Bai Liu smiled: "I have to."

Although she had expected this answer, Liu Jiayi still couldn't help but want to scold him: "It doesn't matter if you die?"

Bai Liu stood up with a smile, he patted Liu Jiayi's head, stretched out his thumb to wipe away the tears she was holding back, and gently hugged her: "—I promise I will win him before I die."

A group of people bid farewell to Tang Erda, took sleds and snowball fights and headed towards Scott's cabin.

Scott's cottage is indeed not far away. After a short walk, the group can see this nostalgic building on the coast.

There was a faint light in the cabin, and there was a burst of warm heat, which gave a group of people who had trekked through the wind and snow a kind of refreshing warmth. Mu Sicheng was so comfortable that he couldn't help but soften his raised shoulder blades.

Bai Liu put the snowball fight aside, took off her sled shoes, took out her whip and walked into Scott's hut.

Sitting on a creaking wooden bench was an old man, with his eyes half-closed, warming himself by the fireplace, dozing off with his arms folded in front of his stomach, his upturned beard trembling, and a small string of sleep-flavored hair protruding from the corner of his mouth. Make a small purr.

The sound of Bai Liu's footsteps entering the house and the cold wind breaking through the door woke him up. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Bai Liu standing less than five meters in front of him.

He seemed very happy, and was not distressed by the uninvited guest's rebellion. Instead, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Look, what I found."

Edmund's smiling eyes fell on the whip in Bai Liu's hand: "——Another new guest who likes to use a whip."
