Chapter 1363 The biggest enemy(1/3)

When the blizzard stopped again, Wei Ran and others, who had rested long enough, were ready to set off.

Now, they only have three sled vehicles left, but all three vehicles are pulled by double the number of sled dogs.

Correspondingly, two sleds firmly fixed on the snow with wooden wedges were also abandoned at the location where the tents were once set up. The same temporarily discarded supplies were loaded on the two sleds and packed with accumulated materials.

The snow buried it.

“It’s time to go”

On the first sled, Hanno, the new captain, said this while putting on goggles.

Dr. Cross, who was also on the sled but with most of his body wrapped in a sleeping bag, immediately put on goggles when he saw this. Although he was not responsible for driving, he needed to look back at the direction of the rear of the car to avoid the other two cars.

Get separated.

The second in line was the sleigh driven by Wei Ran. In addition to a complete radio system that could not be used due to the lack of a generator, his vehicle also had some necessary public supplies.

Apart from these things, there were no passengers in his car, and there was only an oil lamp hanging on it.

In the third car behind him were Dr. Yog, who was in charge of driving, and Mr. Carsten, the patient in the car.

Amidst the shouts one after another, the three sleighs began to run towards the warehouse under the surging aurora.

With double the power and less supplies than before, these three sleds allowed the three sleds to run at speeds that were far impossible to achieve before.

During the continuous running, the short daylight gradually fell. Hannuo also stopped temporarily according to the original plan, raised his hand and pointed at the undulating mountains at the end of the field of vision and said, "The end is in that direction! Let's go faster! We can run longer while the visibility is high.

Run as far as you can!”

Seeing that the people in the other two cars had no objections, Hanno shook the reins again and shouted to the dogs to continue running.

In this extremely short and precious day, they determined that the general direction was correct, and the people on the three sleds became more and more optimistic. After traveling in the middle of the night and most of the morning, the mountains became increasingly clear.

Yes, this is undoubtedly a powerful shot in the arm for everyone who has just lost Major Schubert.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the aurora in the night sky was obscured by clouds, and snowflakes began to fall overhead again.

"Are we going to stop?" Hannuo lowered his speed slightly and asked Wei Ran.

"It's not windy yet!" Wei Ran shouted in response.

"But the sled dogs have been running all day!"

Yog shouted at the sled truck to run faster and came up to remind them that along the way, except for a short period of time during the day, they would let the sled dogs rest almost every two hours.

"Let's go there and rest!"

After Hanno held up his telescope for observation, he pointed in a direction and selected a temporary campsite.

After running in this direction for less than ten minutes, the three sleighs stopped in the lee of a rock.

“Finally encountered the rock”

As soon as the car stopped, Dr. Cross muttered excitedly, then stumbled out of the car and quickly walked towards Carsten on the last sleigh.

"His condition is not good"

Jorg said while fixing the sleigh, "Carsten has a fever, and his wound is probably infected,"

"What should I do?" Cross asked worriedly.

"Put up the tent first"

Before Yog finished speaking, he quickly ran to the side of Weiran's sleigh and helped take down the tent cloth.

He set up the tent as quickly as possible and drove the dogs in. Yog dragged Carsten's sleigh into the tent. Dr. Cross also suppressed the worries in his heart and put a bucket of penguin meat that had been frozen

and two German can racks heated on the gas stove.

"How long does it take to arrive?"

At the entrance of the tent, Wei Ran asked while waving a snow shovel to build a windshield.

"If the weather in the next ten hours can be as good as the previous ten hours, it may only take us one day to get to the warehouse." Hanno, who was also building a windshield, whispered.

Subconsciously he raised his head and glanced at the snowflakes falling straight up and down. The only thing he was thankful for was that there was no wind yet.

It was also because the wind hadn't blown yet, so the wind-blocking wall built by the two of them was a bit confusing.

But even so, when they finished their work, Dr. Cross had already finished feeding the dogs and heated up the canned food.

"How is Mr. Carsten doing?" Hanno asked, taking the lunch box Jörg handed him.

"I still have a fever and the wound hurts a lot."

As Dr. Yog spoke, he handed another lunch box to Wei Ran, "He had eaten just now and went back to sleep. Hanno, Victor, how long until we get to our destination?"

Looking at each other, Wei Ran and Han Nuo replied in unison, "One day!"

"It would be great if it only takes one day," Dr. Cross said, pouring each of them another cup of hot coffee.

"I hope so"

Dr. Jorg looked at Mr. Carsten worriedly while muttering to himself, obviously not thinking that he could reach his destination in one day.

Believe it or not, after eating enough canned meat to fill their stomachs, everyone agreed on a rest time and got into the smelly sleeping bags. Only Dr. Cross was left guarding Carsten and paying attention to the tent.

The weather outside.

When the appointed time arrived, Cross immediately woke everyone up. But the news was mixed. The good news was that although it was still snowing outside the tent, the wind was not too strong, at least it would not stir up too much snow.

Snow blocks the view.

As for the bad news, Mr. Carsten still has a fever and has fallen into a coma.

"Wound infection"

After an inspection, Dr. Yoger said, "We need to find a clean enough place as soon as possible."

"Pack your things"

Hannuo said firmly before anyone could speak, "We'll rest when we get to our destination this time!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone looked at each other, dismantled the tents as quickly as possible, and yelled at the dogs who had eaten, drank, and rested enough to start running again.

Seeing the end point approaching, something called hope emerged in everyone's heart. At the same time, they also subconsciously urged the dogs to run faster and faster to prevent the getting closer and closer hope from falling into coma.

Carsten is getting further and further away.

I don’t know when, the continuous mountains became clearer and clearer, and I don’t know when, the short daylight came slowly together with the strong wind carrying large snowflakes.

But this time, Hannuo, who was running at the front, not only did not stop, but shook the reins vigorously, urging the dogs to run faster.

Gradually, the surrounding terrain began to undulate, and the three sleighs finally found themselves among the rolling hills.

"Hanno! How far is it?"

Wei Ran shouted in the strong wind. At this time, the wind and snow had not only begun to obscure his sight due to the influence of the terrain, but also began to affect the sleigh. Not only was the snow here much thicker than outside the mountainous area, but the wind speed was also higher.

Much larger.

What’s even more terrifying is that the strong wind carries far more than just snowflakes, it’s also mixed with lethal ice and even rocks!

Also because of the strong wind, Hannuo didn't seem to hear Wei Ran's cry, but continued to urge the dogs to continue moving forward with difficulty.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, a stone as big as a goose egg came from the side and hit the skis fixed on the side of Weiran's sled.

Wei Ran shrank his neck subconsciously, shook the reins vigorously, and curled up as much as possible, trying to reduce his "bomb impact area."

But even so, from time to time, pieces of egg-sized rocks and ice were thrown by the wind, hitting him or the sled dogs hard, and not surprisingly eliciting screams and wails.

.

In this torture that was like stoning, Wei Ran drove the sled with difficulty and followed Hannuo. He followed him to the foot of a low mountain, braved the strong wind and went around to the side of the mountain, and continued up the mountain.

After walking hard for more than half an hour, we finally stopped on the side of an inconspicuous low mountain.

"We're here," Hanno said almost at the last moment of the day.

"right here?"

Wei Ran couldn't help but look around. Wherever he looked, except for the undulating mountains, the rest was almost the same as what they had seen all the way, and there were no man-made buildings here.

Without waiting for Hanno and Cross to explain, Dr. Yog also stopped the sleigh, rubbed his arms and asked, "Were you injured just now?"

"We have a sled dog that seems to have an injured leg," Cross said first, "but he's fine."

"A bag was smashed out of my head," Hanno pointed at the winter cotton hat on his head and grinned.

"I have nothing to do," Wei Ran asked, "What about you?"

"We're fine too"

Yog paused and added, "But Carsten's situation is very bad, so if we can find someone quickly..."

"It'll be ready soon. Just wait for me here."

Before Hanno finished speaking, he and Dr. Cross had already pulled out the snow shovels one after another, and started to clean up the snow around the foot of the mountain!

It didn't take long for the two of them to dig out an icy rock wall.

What made Wei Ran and Yog even more incredible was that Hannuo just took out his mountaineering pick and pried the edge of the ice hanging on the rock wall, and then actually peeled off the entire piece of ice from the rock wall.
