Undercover Penguin Gang

Emperor penguins can talk!

Emperor Penguins Can Talk! ! !

The psychological impact this brought to Han Zhen was no less than the discovery of the New World by Columbus. He even wondered if he was still lying on the small ice floe and did not wake up.

However, it turns out that Professor Han is not dreaming.

"Historically speaking, human beings are not the most intelligent species, let alone the only species that has mastered advanced languages." Schwart looked at Han Zhen calmly, with arrogance in his eyes, "Penguins can understand most of the The language of animals, including many extinct ancient species, but human beings who claim to be smart have difficulty even learning a foreign language."

He continued to walk forward while talking, Han Zhen consciously followed half a step away from him, opened his mouth, hesitated to speak.

Two strings of crooked footprints were left on the white snow field, one was big, the other was small, one belonged to humans, and the other belonged to penguins.

"Since penguins understand language, why have you never heard of it?" After a long silence, Professor Han finally asked out of curiosity.

"It's not necessary." Shawart answered as a matter of course, "Human beings are not advanced creations, so it's not worth our while to ask."

Han Zhen: "..." So you are racist?

He looked at Shawart amusedly, only to see that the arrogant emperor penguin was looking down at its feet with rapt attention, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking staggeringly in the snow, looking like an enemy It's funny how focused she looks.

"Pfft~"

Han Zhen couldn't hold back his laughter. Although he quickly suppressed it, Xia Wote, who had sharp ears, heard him and frowned.

Did he do something funny?

Seeing Shawart's displeasure, Han Zhen quickly waved his hands, suppressed a smile and put on a straight face, trying to look as serious as possible.

Such an arrogant little guy, it would be bad to make him angry.

Shawart squinted his eyes and looked at Han Zhen for a while, his eyes full of suspicion.

I always feel that this human being is inexplicably happy about something...

In fact, Han Zhen really didn't mean to laugh at Shawart, but the sharp little eyes he satirized when he satirized the lack of human language talent just now were too different from the way he was shaking his head when he was walking, so he found it interesting.

He pursed his lips, and suddenly felt that being called stupid by such a cute little guy didn't seem so hard to accept.

"By the way, Shawart, do you know any more conspicuous landmarks around here? More famous peaks or rocky beaches."

If you can find a place clearly marked on the Antarctic map and guard there, the probability of being found by the search and rescue team should be much higher.

Unexpectedly, Shawart was silent for a moment but shook his head and said: "No, there are almost no mountains here, and the closest one is Mount Rods."

"Oh, Rods Hill... eh? Rods Hill?"

Isn't Lords Mountain a snow mountain on the border of Coats Land?Because there is only one mountain within a hundred miles, and it happens to be at the junction of Coates Land and Queen Maud Land, it has always been recognized internationally as the dividing line between the two continents.

But this is obviously Wilkes land!

A clear map of Antarctica quickly emerged in Han Zhen's mind. The upper half of the map is the vast Wilkes Land, while the narrow and curved area on the lower left close to the coastline is Coates Land. The plots are separated by thousands of miles, almost spanning the entire Antarctic Plateau.

Is there another Rods Mountain on the Antarctic continent besides Coates Land?

How can it be!

Han Zhen repeated the word "Lodz Mountain" several times in his heart, and after confirming that there was indeed no second mountain with this name in the entire Antarctic, he hesitated and asked Schwart: "This is Wilkes Mountain." land, right?"

"Wilkes Land?" Shawart seemed to be a bit unfamiliar with the name. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, this is the Dwarf Snow Tundra. In your human words, it should be called... um, Coates Land."

Coates, Land...

Professor Han was struck by lightning.

Why did I cross half of Antarctica as soon as I opened my eyes? !

He wondered again if he hadn't woken up yet.

Shawart is so smart, he guessed the general idea from Han Zhen's few words.

"I found you when I was fishing near Madeli Island. At that time, you were lying unconscious on the ice floe, and your whole body was wet with sea water. Further away from Madeli Island is the border of the Devil's Sea. I'm afraid You got sucked in by the waves, and that's why you pushed that ice floe and swam to the shore."

"But maybe, you came out of the Devil's Sea?" Shawart looked deeply into Han Zhen's eyes, "You were swept to Coates Land by the currents of the Devil's Sea."

The Devil's Sea is a huge inland sea between Wilkes Land and Coates Land, serving as a bridge connecting the two continents.The reason for this name is that the character of this sea area is as irritable as that of a devil. One moment it was calm, but the next moment it may set off a violent wind and tsunami, sweeping up the creatures in the sea into the sky, and throwing them back to the surface of the sea.

Not to mention human beings, even the native Antarctic creatures dare not pass through that sea area, so even though they knew that the sea route from Wilkes Land to Coates Land was the shortest, everyone still chose to detour and take the land route, fearing that a I don't care about telling my own life there.

Of course, it is not without fearless brave men who have challenged the authority of the Devil’s Sea. For example, the American Chicago Antarctic Expedition in 1987 and the Swedish Sevenhills Icebreaker Club in 2001 marched towards the Devil’s Sea with sufficient supplies and high morale. Unfortunately, no one came out alive in the end, and even the boat they were driving disappeared.

The devil's sea area is like a devil's bloody mouth, and the food eaten will never be spit out again. This has almost become the consensus of all Antarctic scientific research personnel.

But today, there seems to be an exception to this unshakeable rule.

Shawart analyzed calmly, "You just said that you were in Wilkes Land, so it is very likely that you were accidentally drawn into the Devil's Sea Territory, and then drifted to Coates Land along the route of the Devil's Sea Territory. After all, in that sea area, anything can happen.”

Having said that, Shawart sighed, and turned his head to look at the vast sea.

No one can imagine how terrible and huge power is hidden under the seemingly calm waves.

On the other side of him, Han Zhen frowned, his expression becoming more and more serious.He made a rough calculation. If what Shawart said was true, then he should have been washed to the ice floe by an avalanche first, and then taken out of the Wilkes Land by Haibo, and forcibly drawn into the Devil's Sea Territory. After the disaster of 81 and [-], he escaped by chance and arrived in Coates, where he was met by Schwart.

There is really no better explanation for what can take him across thousands of kilometers from Wilkes Land to Coates Land in ten hours, except for the moody devil sea.

But how dramatic that sounds!How many well-prepared explorers failed to get out of the sea area shrouded in demons, and he, a comatose person, lying on a half-sized ice floe, unexpectedly floated over without any danger!

Han Zhen suddenly misses the little ice floe that carried him across the ocean, it must be his mascot, not one of them!

"So you brought me here from the Devil's Sea?"

"It can be said like this, but when I met you, you had already left the devil's sea, and I just brought you to the shore."

Han Zhen understood, no wonder he saw the little penguin standing on the shore when he opened his eyes.

He imagined that if he woke up in a vast ocean, lost all the locators and communicators, and couldn't even see a person around him, he couldn't help but shiver.

Well, luckily I met Shavert.

"Then besides me, did you see anyone else?" Han Zhen asked again with Dracula and Qi Jia's safety in mind.

This time Shawart denied it flatly, "No. Few creatures set foot around the Devil's Sea, and I wouldn't want to set foot if it wasn't for the shortage of food."

He paused here, and suddenly said meaningfully: "But you are an exception, Han Zhen, you are very lucky."

Han Zhen smiled, he seemed to be very lucky to be able to cross the devil's sea alive.Well, I can buy a few lottery tickets when I go back~

Of course, the premise is that he can go back...

If he was still in Wilkes Land, Han Zhen would have full confidence that he would be able to join the search and rescue team alive, but this is Coates Land, which is thousands of miles away from Wilkes Land, and it is impossible for the search and rescue team to find him. Come here, because no one will believe that he can cross the devil's sea.

It's really troublesome luck.

But although he can't go back for the time being, Qi Jia and Dracula should not be so miserable. Just now Shawart said that he only saw him alone, which means that those two guys did not cross the Devil's Sea with him. Probably took them on different routes, so there is a strong possibility that those two guys are still stuck in Prince Charles Mountain waiting for rescue.

Han Zhen looked down at his watch, the pointer was just past seven o'clock, if all goes well, they should have been rescued.

He breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, it would be good to have one more person rescued.

"By the way, Shavert, how do you know my name?"

After calculating everything clearly, Professor Han felt a lot more relaxed, and even his brain became brighter, and he grasped the problem keenly.

He remembered that he hadn't introduced himself.

Shawart's eyelids twitched and he didn't say a word, but Han Zhen obviously didn't intend to let him go just like that, and asked again: "How do you know, huh? Could it be that penguins also know divination?"

"..."

"Shavert?"

"..."

Seeing that Shawart did not respond, Han Zhen looked over strangely, but saw that his expression was stiff and his eyes were flickering, as if someone had caught something. He was silent for a long time before explaining bluntly: "You... It was written, I saw it."

Oh, it turned out to be the work permit.

This reason sounds plausible.

Han Zhen nodded. His work permit was placed in the outermost pocket of the backpack, so it was easy to take out at any time, and it was not unusual for Schwart to see it.

It's just why Shawart's expression is so unnatural, as if someone grabbed his pigtail?

It's hard to guess what the little penguin is thinking.

╮(￣▽￣)╭

Of course, this question did not bother Han Zhen for a long time, and soon he turned his attention to other things.But Schwart was different, he kept his face sullen, and occasionally glanced at Han Zhen out of the corner of his eye, with a complicated expression on his face.

Han Zhen probably... didn't notice anything, right?
