Chapter 161. 160. White Whale
Loosening the rope in his hand, Su Yun raised one foot and looked into the distance.

He took a slight breath, pulled the rope towing the hovercraft on the ice to his side, and then sat down in the cabin.

After two hours, Su Yun saw a small island again.

I saw a group of arctic rabbits nervously looking at the arctic fox not far from them beside the bushes growing on the bare rock.

There are seagulls circling in the sky, looking greedily at the flocks of arctic hares on the ground.

The Arctic Hare's attention has been on the eager Arctic Fox, but it has ignored the flocks of seagulls that have been circling quietly in the sky.

Su Yun adjusted the drone lens to ensure that he could see the distant scene clearly.

[Yo hoo, little rabbit! 】

[Arctic rabbits have long legs, so don’t be fooled by their adorable appearance squatting in the snow. I thought the arctic rabbits were so cute when I saw their legs. . 】

[The Arctic fox and the Arctic hare are another struggle. 】

[Seriously, the Arctic hare has already spotted the fox. Why didn’t he run away in advance when he knew he would attack? 】

Su Yun took a look at the injury on the sole of his foot, and after making sure it was OK, he said, "The rabbit bites people when it's anxious. Besides, Arctic rabbits will eat meat from time to time. A group of Arctic rabbits dare to confront a few Arctic foxes." Strange."

In the distance, the Arctic fox was lying on the ground in the snow, quietly looking at the group of rabbits. It originally planned to attack them by surprise, but unexpectedly, several foreign species of the same species joined in the group, which exposed its whereabouts.

Fortunately, the Arctic rabbits who gathered in a crowd were nervous, but they were not very afraid of the Arctic foxes present, so they did not flee.

It seemed that the arctic foxes couldn't do them any harm, so the group of rabbits continued to dig holes and dig tree roots to eat.

Unlike the audience, Su Yun did not focus on the Arctic fox, but instead focused on the seagulls hovering in the sky.

Su Yun believed that the arctic fox was also waiting for the seagull to attack. As an opponent, the fox must know whether the rabbit had the means to attack.Therefore, it is better to let the seagull act as the pioneer.

The rabbit still didn't relax its vigilance, but compared to before, it was not as good.

Just when the audience was thinking that the arctic fox could do things without wolves, suddenly, the seagulls circling in the sky suddenly flew up, then turned around and swooped down obliquely.

Not only was one seagull swooping down, but all the seagulls, as if they had agreed, locked their targets and swooped down.

Seeing the seagull's initial attack, the five arctic foxes also rushed out instantly, snowflakes exploded on the spot, and white shadows quickly approached the arctic foxes.

The swooping speed of the seagull is not shocking. The fox had only taken a few steps away before the seagull had already succeeded. It swallowed the whole rabbit directly into its belly, and then flew to the side to watch its predators.

Of course, there are also some seagulls who are extremely greedy, and are still not satisfied after swallowing a rabbit, looking for other targets.

The formation of the rabbits was shattered by the seagull's attack, and they fled in a hurry. This also gave the arctic fox a chance to kill the rabbits that were alone without hesitation, and then continued to search for the target.

In an instant, the peaceful scene suddenly turned into chaos.

One of the arctic foxes that didn't succeed set its target on the seagull whose stomach was still wriggling. Because of the drag of the struggling rabbit in its stomach, it didn't rise quickly at the first time, and was easily bitten by the fox's neck.

And the arctic fox, who failed to succeed in the blow, was also kicked away by the rabbit.

The scene was chaotic quickly, and the speed of calming down was also not slow. The seagull was startled away by the shameless fox, the rabbit fled from the spot, and only five unknown foxes were left to share the rich food.

Seeing the end of the hunt, Su Yun patted his thighs to stand up, pulled the rope and continued to the target direction.

[What does this fox say?What a coward, he dares to go after watching other people's seagulls go up, using them as guns, and attacking them after they are done. 】

[Ask, does a seagull that is bitten to death count as one dead body and two dead? 】

[Although seagulls and foxes are not the same species, but seeing how this cooperation has happened once or twice, doesn’t the rabbit have a long memory? 】

Su Yun pulled the rope, sniffed and said, "The rabbit didn't notice the seagulls in the sky, or maybe he noticed it, but the proud rabbit didn't care. After all, there is an idiom called rabbit kicking the eagle. These rabbits feel that even the eagle If you can pedal, seagulls are naturally no problem."

Su Yun did not take advantage of others' danger. It would be a good idea to snatch the fruits of victory from the fox at this time. However, Su Yun gave up after thinking about it. He could not make enemies at this time. If the fox followed the brown bear and wolverine in retaliating, the gain would outweigh the loss. .

The hunt just now was just a small scene for Su Yun and the audience, and they were treated as a spectacle.

After walking for a while, you can see a seal lying on the ice, and there must be a baby seal next to it. After seeing Su Yun's figure, he just took a look and found that there was no danger, so he ignored it.

Suddenly Su Yun heard the sound of water flowing.

The sound of rushing water was clearly heard, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously suspected that this was an illusion, because how could there be the sound of water on the frozen sea?And it's very far from the sea.

"Did you hear the sound of splashing water?" Su Yun frowned and said, "Why did I hear the sound of water flowing, did I hear it wrong?"

[I heard it, you heard it right. 】

[I heard it too, it was exactly the same as the splashing water in the swimming pool. 】

[Is there any frozen water near here?]

Quickly raise the drone and zoom in on the direction of the sound.

In the lens of the drone, there is a circular ice cave in the distance, and waves spray from it from time to time.

Su Yun took a closer look, then smiled and said, "There is something in the ice hole, let's take a look."

With that said, Lima took the rope in his hand and ran towards the ice cave.Although one of Su Yun's feet was injured, it didn't affect his quick approach to the target.

Gradually approaching the other party, Su Yun also completely saw what kind of animal was in the ice cave.

"It turned out to be a white whale." Su Yun was pleasantly surprised. Is this the legendary blessing that survives a catastrophe?It seems that I was not being chased by the brown bear for nothing.

One by one, the beluga whales came out of the water one by one to take a breath, and the beluga whales piled up on each other made Su Yun unable to find out their number for a while.

Su Yun dropped his equipment and quickly approached. This is an ice cave with a diameter of about three meters, where beluga whales push and breathe.

Looking at the barren ice field around, Su Yun speculated, "If I guess correctly, this group of white whales should be trapped here."

"In winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and the beluga whale did not escape to a slightly warmer place at the first moment, so it was trapped on the frozen ice sheet."

"The ice sheet is huge, and beluga whales are mammals, so they have to use their blowholes to replace the air in their lungs by surfacing. But the breathing time of beluga whales is 20 minutes, and 20 minutes is not enough for them to escape the shackles of the ice sheet."

"So, they are trapped here, and they must surface at all times to prevent the water from freezing and completely blocking the only outlet for ventilation."

The white whale also found Su Yun who was spying on them, but they were not afraid at all with an affinity as high as five points. Instead, they sent a representative to spy out of the water and look at Su Yun.

Su Yun knelt on the ground and reached out to the white whale's head.

The other person's breathing hole made a purring sound. When Su Yun put his hand on the other person's head, the white whale seemed to be enjoying it and closed his eyes.

[Wow, when rubbing Su Yun's hand, there was an expression of enjoyment, I want to touch it, it feels slippery. 】

[No. 80 seven animals I want to play with. 】

【What a lovely white whale, I really hope I can kiss it in my lifetime】

[Good guy, love across species]

Su Yun took off his gloves, lightly touched the white whale's big head and said, "We looked at the white whale's skin as if it was smooth, but it was not. The other's skin was quite rough, just like what real men use to wipe their buttocks." Kind of sandpaper, very abrasive."

The rest of the beluga whales also came out of the water one after another, poking their heads out to look at Su Yun, with cute faces and making noises.

Su Yun smiled and looked at their bodies. Most of the beluga whales had hideous scars on their bodies, and the wounds were relatively fresh, which should have been caused recently.

Su Yun pointed to the bloodshot wound and said, "Looking at the wound on the white whale, there is still a trace of blood that should have been caused recently. This blood stain reminds me that there is a polar bear nearby."

"We've come to the right place."

After a pause, Su Yun explained, "There are two natural enemies of the beluga whale, one is the killer whale, and the other is the polar bear. Killer whales also need to use their lungs to breathe, so with the vast ice sheet, it is estimated that they cannot reach here, so they can only be Wounds inflicted by polar bears."

Su Yun stood up and carefully checked around the ice cave. He even swept away the snow left by last night's snowstorm and said, "There is no blood around, which means the polar bear returned without success."

The white whale looked at Su Yun looking around, and suddenly dived again!

Su Yun looked at the action of the white whale and said, "I told you before that the seals will use their teeth to eat the edge of the ice layer to prevent the ice cave from freezing, and the current actions of the white whale are also to prevent freezing. They do not allow the water surface to be calm. After all, if the water is frozen, they will definitely die."

Su Yun stuffed the drone into the water, and began to shoot the movements of the beluga from underwater, and by the way, he could find out the number of the beluga.

The ice surface under the ice layer is very rugged and uneven, just like the stalactites produced by the underground canyon. When walking underwater, one who is not paying attention is likely to be scratched.

"It is very likely that this group of belugas has not eaten for a long time. Perhaps the surrounding food has been killed by them, or the fish left quickly after seeing the beluga. Anyway, they have lost their food now."

"Coupled with the fact that they are trapped here and there is a shortage of food, even if there is enough air, there is a high probability that they will starve to death."

Su Yun frowned, speculating on the current situation of the white whale, very pessimistic.I finally found a group of beluga whales and wanted to take pictures of their predation, but there is not even any food here, and the beluga whales are still trapped in a place where there is no one.

【what is it now?Do you want the anchor to save me? 】

[I think it can be saved, but I can't watch them starve to death here.It’s just winter now, and it’s too early to wait for the spring thaw. I can’t let people go without food for two or three months, and still starve to death, right?]

[Save, save, what you said is simple, how can the anchor save? 】

Su Yun tutted, "It's really a bit difficult."

Speaking of Su Yun, he quickly raised the drone, and then looked at the surrounding environment. When it reached the highest distance, Su Yun looked at the surrounding icebergs and small islands.

Su Yun frowned tightly. Wherever he looked, he couldn't find a place where he could leave the ice field.

"If I want to save these beluga whales, there is only one way, and that is to find a place to leave the ice sheet."

"But you have also seen the picture displayed by the drone. It has a radius of more than ten kilometers, and there is no water surface exposed in the field of vision."

After a pause, Su Yun said, "At first, I had already thought about how to save the beluga whale, that is, to cut through the ice, so that the beluga could transfer to the ice layer I cut open for them to breathe within 20 minutes, and then I continued Dig the second and the third."

"But" Su Yun looked at Moby Whale, who looked at Su Yun from time to time and said, "There is no suitable place in a radius of more than ten kilometers."

Sitting on the ground, Su Yun rubbed his legs and said, "And I suspect that even if it is 10 kilometers away, it is impossible to find the water surface. It is estimated that the nearest water surface is the sea surface near the archipelago."

"But it must be at least 40 kilometers away from where I am standing now, because I walked for a long time when I was on the archipelago, and after leaving the archipelago, I walked for more than two hours before I reached my current location. This distance Only long, not short." Su Yun thought, the only thing that was clear now was the sea next to the islands.

As he said that, Su Yun took out his engineering shovel, turned around and walked in the direction he came and went, and sighed, "Although it is more than 40 kilometers away, I still want to save it. Originally, I thought there should be rivers around that were not frozen. We can dig less ice pits, after all, we don’t have the tools at hand, so it’s not easy to dig through the ice.”

Watching Su Yun leave, a white whale suddenly surfaced and yelled at Su Yun's back. The voice was a bit sad, as if Su Yun had abandoned them.

Su Yun turned around and shouted, "Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, I will dig a hole to save you, and stay here honestly."

As if it understood Su Yun's words, the white whale immediately spit out two mouthfuls of water and happily dived into the water.

When passing by the ice cave with seals, Su Yun wondered if it was possible to requisition the ice cave with seals, but he gave up after thinking about it. He couldn't destroy the temporary residence of the female seal just to save the beluga whale.

Su Yun measured step by step, and based on the calculation that one step is one meter, he had to measure a distance of five kilometers in a straight line.

This value is very particular. If it is calculated according to an ice cave of five kilometers, then at least eight pits must be dug. Su Yun feels a headache when he thinks about it.

Limping to the chosen location, Su Yun deliberately raised the drone to establish the position with the beluga, then took the engineer shovel with one meter of length left, knocked it hard on the ice, and then just Make a gap.

Su Yun's face was dark, and he had no choice but to continue tapping. Without a tool at hand, he could only waste time.

　Today is only one chapter, one chapter is owed, so three chapters are owed.

　　I got off work late today, the dean insisted on holding a meeting, and an intern like me also had to attend the meeting. It’s really annoying to be an official, and I digress when I talk, and I can’t get to the point, wasting my time, so I didn’t return until 07:30 Home.

　　PS: There are good comments to mention.
