48 Hours a Day

"I only thought that the story Baker told was too nonsense. He didn't want to tell me what happened, so he used such a ridiculous story to perfuse me. I think he must have been bought by Mr. Thame. , This made me a little flustered, because I couldn’t find anyone to trust in the whole team. I wanted to turn around and go directly to find Mr. Thame to leave. Maybe I shouldn’t accept this job from the beginning, but I haven’t I completely lose my mind, because the retired soldiers have guns in their hands. I don’t want to have a conflict with them, especially when we are in the wilderness and there is no one around. So I can only continue to be honest until I find an opportunity. Be my guide.

"After what happened that night, the scientist's mood was a little depressed, but I don't know if it was my illusion. The expedition obviously lost two members, but Mr. Thame became more and more interested. I was surprised by the retired soldiers. They obviously lost their two companions but they were not worried at all, and there was no sad look on their faces. They were calm and terrible. In addition, these days because I have been paying attention to them, I have been I discovered a little secret of them.

"That is, this group of retired soldiers will also perform a small ceremony before the meal, which is similar to the pre-meal prayer link, but it is not the kind of Christianity, and they do it very concealedly. They may all come from a secret sect, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Although my father is an Inuit, I am actually more inclined to atheism, but usually I am not very resistant to these mysterious things. Instead, I am curious from time to time, but not now, not in this deserted area. On the ice field, staying with a group of sneaky heretics, it didn't sound like a good thing.

"Although I don't believe the story the doctor told me, I have to admit that it has been lingering in my mind for a few days, and it even made me sleepless. I went to Mr. Thame again, hoping to He wanted to defend himself with weapons, but he comforted me and said that there is no need to worry. There are retired soldiers in the team to protect us. I have no choice but to bring an ice axe with me, which is better than nothing.

"We arrived near the destination point on the seventh day. Although I saw nothing but the rolling glacial mountains, Mr. Thame told us with an unusually firm tone that it was here. That one was enough for discovery. The ancient ruins that brought great fame and even rewriting human history are here, but where it is hidden requires us to look carefully.

"I fulfilled my duty as a guide and found a suitable camping site for the expedition. With this as the center, I began to search around carefully. I prayed that there was nothing in this operation. It is best to get food and supplies quickly. Before running out, leave empty-handed so that you won't have any trouble again.

"But I found that I might have underestimated Mr. Thame’s determination to find the remains. Three days later we changed the camp. Mr. Thame called everyone together and reiterated the importance of what we were doing and said that we would not find the remains. He won't leave here. If the supplies are exhausted, he will use the satellite phone to contact another team to deliver it to us. His words also changed the expressions of many people, including me.

"I'm even considering whether to steal a satellite phone to report to the police, but Greenland's police force is not sufficient, and the place we are now is very remote, and the manpower we can send may not be the opponent of these retired soldiers. The doctor seemed to see through what I was thinking and warned me not to act rashly for now.

"After that, we continued to search for the ruins. I led a group of people to the north of the camp. The geologists took a group of people to the south. They were still studying the rock formations along the way, because according to Mr. Thame, the ruins The history of is very long and has surpassed human history. Meteorologists are responsible for observing the weather every day, reminding us when there is a blizzard to return to the camp and when we can continue to work. In addition, Mr. Thame has the pair from China. The couple of theologians also brought a team."

"On the twelfth day, the team of geologists made new discoveries. They found some strange fossils they had found before, and this time there were more of them. Mr. Thame was very happy. They opened in the evening. He celebrated with a bottle of champagne, but this time, for safety reasons, he did not allow anyone to bring the fossils back to the camp, but what everyone did not expect was that not long after eating and lying down, the weird snowstorm came again. .

"Before that, the meteorological experts just announced that the next two days will be sunny, and you can continue to explore, because this time the blizzard came too suddenly, I didn't even have time to drive the Greenland dogs into the tent, and it turned out soon. Hearing the gunshot, the two retired soldiers who lived with me rushed out tacitly like last time, while I nervously grabbed the ice axe and stayed in the tent with the doctor.

"We turned on the camping lights, hoping that the light would give us a sense of security, but then I felt that the blood in my whole body was pouring into my head, because after turning on the lights, we saw a shadow on one of the tents, and that shadow followed The story made up by the doctor before is exactly the same. It looks unspeakable and weird. Both the doctor and I were frightened. I only thought that the thing would rush into the tent in the next second, killing us, and worse. It is the retired soldiers who have also ran out to join the battle at this moment, which means that no one in the tent can protect us.

"That was definitely the scariest half-minute of my life, but the thing didn't rush in afterwards, even though it had put its face on the tent (if that part could be called a face), the barking of the dogs seemed to attract After catching his attention, he walked towards that side. When the blizzard subsided, I headed out and found that the Greenland dog on the side of the kennel had been killed. In addition, there were three retired soldiers. Dead in battle, a serious injury, I saw the rest of them carry their bodies aside, and then started digging, just like the scene I saw last time.

"But what I didn't expect was that Mr. Thame could be so shameless. He still insisted on blaming all this on the hungry polar bears, and he didn't mean to cancel the expedition. Even if there are only half of the retired soldiers who can fight now. Up."
