48 Hours a Day

Sarchus did not rush to answer the question, but took a deep look at Songjia, then pointed to the bottle on the table and said, "Can I have another drink?"

"Do it yourself."

Sachus picked up the wine bottle again. He did not pour it into the wine glass this time, but drank all the remaining half bottles in one breath. It seems that only through the sense of wine can he have the courage to deal with the things of the year. Tell it.

"I am an aboriginal on Greenland, half of Inuit descent, and half of Danish descent, so every year I return to my father’s tribe to stay for a while, and I have also hunted and fished with them. Many Inuit people are They live on the ice field, so they are very good at dealing with the bad weather and the environment on the ice field. I didn't like reading at the time, but I was very interested in hunting and other things.

"Although I was not very good at marksmanship when I was young, I learned a lot of skills for surviving on the ice field with the old hunters in the tribe, plus I learned a little English, because I accidentally did it for a team of photographers who photographed polar bears. I didn’t pay attention to the guide at the time. I just wanted to make some extra money, but I didn’t expect that after they got back, they recommended me to many friends who wanted to come to Greenland for filming. At that time, I was over twenty years old. Thinking about what to do, he entered this business naturally.

"In the eyes of others, this job is hard and dangerous, but I naturally like to find excitement. This job is quite suitable for me. Soon I have made a name in this industry, and the more people who come to me More and more," Sartres fell into the memory, "After leading a tour group to see the seals, Dr. Baker found me.

"Oh, I had known him for about a year at that time. He came to Greenland for a trip and liked it, so he found a way to settle here and opened a clinic to do his old business, but his business was not good. So I started an adventure club with my friends, introduced people to explore here, and then helped them take care of their meals and lodging and hired guides. We also started to meet at that time.

"He found my place that day and said that there was a very well-paid but dangerous job that needed an excellent professional guide. He asked me if I was interested. I was short of money at the time, and it was a little boring to bring a tour group. , The adventurous genes in the body began to move around again, so let him continue.

"Baker said that someone named Thame got the news that there is an ancient ruin under the ice sheet somewhere in Greenland. Not only can the person who finds it first become famous immediately, but the findings inside may even rewrite known human history, so He is going to form a scientific expedition team.

"To be honest, I'm skeptical about things like ancient ruins, because the government has already started to do something like this, not to mention that there are US military bases on the island. I can't hide anything from them, but it's like Baker said that the opposite party pays very generously. This trip can basically match my income for a year, plus it sounds more interesting than taking a sightseeing tour, so I agreed, and this is also The thing I regret most in my life."

"On the day of departure, I saw Dr. Baker on the expedition. I was a little surprised because he is a psychologist, not the kind of doctor who can treat people with physical diseases, although he himself said that he also learned some first aid and The knowledge of dressing, but... you know, if you really want to take a doctor on an expedition, there are too many better options than him.

"So out of professional ethics, I found Mr. Thame and told him about my doubts. He is a very good person. He looks very easy-going and always looks high. The only problem is that he likes to eat sweets. During the expedition, he brought several packs of sugar with him, one bag a day, with almost no rest in his mouth. Mr. Thame told me that he knew what Baker was doing. The main reason for bringing a psychiatrist was that there were many in the team. the scientist.

It is the first time for many people to explore such a dangerous place. He is worried that some team members will have psychological problems at that time, and then Baker will be needed to solve it. To be honest, this reason is a bit far-fetched, but he is the one who pays. , I need to explain the situation to the employer, but the final decision is still made by the employer. He said to bring Dr. Baker, then we will bring Dr. Baker.

"In short, we set off when we were ready. There were 22 people on the expedition, including a geologist and his assistant, an archeologist, a biologist, a meteorologist, and two Famous theologians, they are a couple from China," Sarchus paused here, and looked at Zhang Heng with some doubts, "Are you also Chinese? Do you have anything to do with that Chinese couple? ?"

However, Zhang Heng did not answer his question, but just motioned him to continue.

"I have a deep impression of the pair of Chinese people, because both of them are polite, but the other people, hehe... Except for the few people I mentioned above, the rest of them seem to be It’s not a good kind. Although they are covering up along the way, I can see that many of them have served in the army and have weapons hidden with them. They also made me want to retreat, where we are going. It is a no-man’s land. It is possible that no one will be encountered along the way. Even if you are worried about any beasts on the road, there is no need to bring so many people to protect your safety.

"But Mr. Thame said that these people were only hired by him to help the scientists, and they were responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as path-searching and carrying luggage equipment. The reason why the veterans were recruited was only because they had better survival skills in the wild. What can I do? Said that the expedition is already on the way, and it is not appropriate for me to propose to exit, so we then took a boat to the landing site on the east coast, and landing from there can save about one-third of the cost of starting from the inland. Distance.

"We have on board enough food for everyone to use for two months, as well as some scientific research and drilling equipment, cameras, satellite phones, winter clothes, tents, and gas tanks. If we have water, we don’t have to worry about it, because we can directly boil the snow. In addition to water, I also brought dogs and sleds to transport supplies."

"The captain of that ship is also an old friend of mine. He sent us to the agreed place and left, and promised that as long as we give them a satellite call, he will immediately rush to the designated place to pick us up. So, so far So far, everything has gone smoothly. The weather was good that day. It was sunny and there was almost no wind. We took a group photo together."
