Undercover Penguin Gang

Over the snow slope is a vast tundra, connected to the blue coast in the distance.Perhaps because of the high temperature near the sea, there is very little snow on this tundra, and even the dark gray stones on the ground can be seen clearly.

"Where is your gathering place?"

"Ah."

Han Zhen adjusted his glasses, and on the rocky beach by the coast, he could clearly see a few penguins basking in the sun. They were lying on their backs, revealing their round white bellies, which made people want to touch them.

But the strange thing is that the penguins are of different sizes and looks, at least they are completely different from the typical emperor penguins like Schwart.

"Shawart, besides chinstrap penguins, do you have other kinds of penguins in your companion?"

Just like the one lying next to the stone pile, yes, the one with only two white eye circles, no matter how you look at it, it is an Adélie penguin!

Shawart froze for a moment, and said, "You...have you misunderstood something?"

He pondered and explained: "Sorry, Han Zhen, maybe I didn't make it clear before that there are no emperor penguins among my companions. In other words, I am the only emperor penguin in this area."

"Only you?"

"Yeah." Schwartz nodded, his tone sounding muffled, "You should know, Dwarf Snow Tundra... Oh, that is the Coates Land you mentioned. There used to be no penguins here."

Antarctic penguins are mainly distributed on the two East Antarctic continents, Queen Maude Land and Wilkes Land, while penguins are rarely seen in Coates Land in West Antarctica.

"Then how did you get here?"

Schwart didn't answer right away, but pointed to the distance and said, "Go there, bypass a few short icebergs floating on the sea, and you can see Mount Rodz."

Looking in the direction he pointed, he could indeed vaguely see a hazy snow-colored mountain range connected together.

"I used to live in Queen Maud Land, with a large group of emperor penguins, but during a winter migration, our team unfortunately encountered a snowstorm, and I got separated from them, and went around to Coates Land alone. Never went back."

"Why don't you go back?" Han Zhen was puzzled. For creatures who grew up in Antarctica, traveling between the two continents should not be a difficult task.

Unexpectedly, Shawart shook his head and said: "There is only one Rods Mountain connected between Coates Land and Queen Maud Land, and the surrounding area is surrounded by ocean currents. Those ocean currents are cold all the year round, and the food that can be found in them is quite scarce, let alone on the sea. There are also a lot of icebergs floating around, unless they are huge and freeze-resistant creatures like killer whales, it is impossible to pass through them at all."

Han Zhen pursed his lips, and said, "Sea and land can't work, what about land? Isn't it okay to turn over Mount Luoz?"

"No. The cause of the blizzard was the avalanche on Rods Mountain. Since then, most of the roads on Rods Mountain have been covered by snow, and it is impossible to walk."

If there is a helicopter, I can consider flying you there.

Han Zhen thought for a while and said, "Do you still want to go back now? If so, maybe I can find a way in the future."

From a human point of view, not to mention the mere Rodz Mountains, even if the Himalayas are in front of you, it is not impossible to turn over.Helicopters, icebreakers, as long as they can contact the organization, it seems that it is not difficult to help the emperor penguin Shawart cross the Rods Mountain and return to Queen Maud's land.

Han Zhen now just wanted to make sure that after living in Kotz Land for so many years, whether Shawart still missed his companions who lived on another land.

If Schwarte wants to go back, then Han Zhen can guarantee that as long as he can join the organization, he will definitely send Schwart back; but if Schwart is used to life in Coates Land, he is also used to the partners here If you don't want to go back, that's okay, no one will force you.

Xiawo Te's expression was stunned for a moment, he stared blankly at Han Zhen for a while, a faint bitterness gradually appeared in his eyes, then he laughed lowly as if mocking himself, shook his head, turned around and said silently Gazing at the distant sea.

Seeing his silent appearance, Han Zhen couldn't help but sighed. After all these years, maybe Schwart never expected to cross the Rods Mountain one day and return to his hometown. Now he suddenly threw out such a The problem is that it gave him hope, but how likely is this hope to come true?

I'm afraid not much.After all, judging from Han Zhen's current situation, whether he can go back successfully is a problem, not to mention helicopters and icebreakers, and he can't even find a kayak. What he said really has no credibility...

"Ahem, by the way, do other penguins live here because of various disasters?"

Seeing that the little penguin didn't say anything for a long time because of his own words, Han Zhen covered his mouth and coughed twice, and changed the subject abruptly.

Fortunately, Shawart responded this time. He nodded and said, "Well, most of them came here, some were swept up by the countercurrent of the deep sea, some were chased and killed by natural enemies, and there were three of them, Bruce. , wandered here after being abandoned by his original companions."

Saying that, Shawart bent down and patted the solid snow under his feet, "Counting me, there are seven penguins living here, and I will take you to meet them later."

Han Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words. It was enough to surprise him to see emperor penguins and chinstrap penguins, but he didn't expect there to be other kinds of penguins!

Professor Han's occupational disease has occurred again, and he only regrets that there is no camera in his backpack, otherwise he could still shoot a documentary about the daily life of penguins.

Seeing his smile, Shawart's mood improved a lot. He took a few steps forward and said to Han Zhen, "Then let's go down first."

"it is good."

Han Zhen readily agreed, but made trouble when he saw the downhill road.

The snow slope is not too high, and the slope is not too steep, but the permafrost is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snow can reach the ankle when you step on it. If you just walk on two legs, you may be afraid of getting dark Can't get there.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was hesitant and standing there for a long time, Shawart had no choice but to turn around and come back.

Han Zhen came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Shawart, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's go."

As he spoke, he sniffed, and carefully raised his feet to step on the slope.

Unexpectedly, Shawart quickly dragged him back.

"what are you doing!"

Shawart subconsciously scolded, is this person stupid? If he walks like this, he will definitely roll into the snow in the end!

Facing his sudden questioning, Han Zhen didn't understand why, so he touched his nose innocently and said, "I... I'll go down."

Shawart didn't speak, and pushed Han Zhen back with a cold face, making sure that he was standing in a safe place, and then said: "The snow here varies from deep to shallow, and it's easy to fall if you walk like this. "

...It turned out that I was worrying about myself.

A smile slowly climbed up the corner of his eyes, and Han Zhen felt that the little penguin in front of him was a little cute again.

"Then how should I get down?"

He stared at Shawart, his dark brown pupils were as clear and bright as amber beads washed by water.

Shawart's cheeks began to heat up involuntarily again.

Annoyed at his abnormality, he quickly looked away, and deliberately said in a calm and expressionless voice: "Come here, I'll carry you down."

"Oh, you carry... ah?"

Han Zhen was stunned, the little penguin was going to carry him?

He looked Charlotte up and down, and couldn't help laughing.The little penguin was barely taller than his chest, and he wobbled even more when he walked. Not to mention his back, he was barely able to support him.

Hearing him laugh, Shawart couldn't help frowning—why did this human being laugh again inexplicably?

Not bothering to pay attention to what Han Zhen was laughing at, he walked to the slope on his own, lay down on the snow and said, "Come on."

Han Zhen: "..."

seriously? !

He felt as if he had figured out how the little penguin was going to carry him...

Shawart waited for a while, seeing that Han Zhen hadn't moved, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Don't humans like being carried by penguins?

He suddenly remembered that George, who has the deepest research on human beings, said that human beings have strong self-esteem, are arrogant and conceited, and like to put on a superior posture in front of other species.

Although Shawart subconsciously felt that Han Zhen was not such an arrogant person, maybe he also had a common human problem in his bones?After all, he has been in contact with human beings since he was a child, and it is normal for him to be contaminated with some bad habits of human beings.

Thinking of this, Shawart sighed, planning to get up first and then think about how to bring Han Zhen down in another way.Unexpectedly, the next moment his back sank, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck, and then Han Zhen's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, he rubbed his cheek against the top of his fluffy head, and let out a contented sigh , happily asked: "Like this?"

The hot air exhaled from his mouth brushed past his ears, bringing warmth to the icy and snowy Antarctic.

thump - thump -

Shawart felt his heart beating a little faster, he frowned and then relaxed, feeling the man hugging him tightly, and rubbing his face in the soft fur on the side of his neck from time to time, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart. He secretly sighed "this human being", then glared at his flippers, and swooped down the slope...

"No, hey, wait a minute! Schwart! Schwart!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

There was a piercing cry from the snow field.

Professor Han burst into tears. He had never ridden a roller coaster before, and now he swears that he will never ride a roller coaster even if he is killed! ! !

"Hey, Edward, did you hear any strange noises?" By the blue beach, a penguin basking in the sun turned to ask its companions.

"Strange sound?" The penguin named Edward slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of slender and upturned peach-blossom eyes. He rolled his eyes and said casually: "Oh, maybe some mountain has avalanched again. .”

"...But the nearest mountain is more than 70 nautical miles away from us, and it has been avalanched half a year ago."

"Oh? It's over?" Edward choked, but quickly waved his hand casually and said, "Oh, George, what do you care about those people, the sun is so bright today, you should lie down and enjoy the sunshine now."

"But……"

George wanted to say something else, but seeing Edward yawned big, closed his eyes and turned over, as if he didn't intend to talk to him anymore, he had to shut his mouth resentfully.

He looked at the distance, and at the leisurely guy beside him, making sure that Edward really didn't intend to talk to him anymore, he snorted angrily, turned over and lay down, and continued to bask in the sun.

Well, the sun is really bright today!
