Undercover Penguin Gang

Although Shawart and his partners have shown full kindness to him so far, Han Zhen still faintly felt that something was not quite right.

Unlike humans, penguins are a group that values ​​and needs companions.

Perhaps it is because it is difficult to fight alone in the harsh living environment of Antarctica, which is extremely cold and resource-scarce, and the help from partners and collectives is indispensable. For most penguins, partners are extremely important, and they will not allow any People or things threaten the safety of their partners, and they can even sacrifice their own lives to protect their partners when necessary.

It is precisely because of this obsession with the interests of partners and groups that they are often very "cold" when dealing with strange visitors.

There was once a British photography team who accidentally stepped on a rocky land occupied by Adélie penguins during the filming of a documentary, and were attacked by a group of them.

Therefore, this species of penguin does not like any stranger to set foot on their territory, and "exclusivity" is the inherent nature of every penguin.

But when it came to Schwart and the others, everything seemed to be different.

Han Zhen lowered his eyes, silently watching his two feet stepping on the middle of a series of messy penguin footprints on the snow——

How strange, as an unidentified human being, he has not been questioned or screened. Shawart just looked at his work card and led him to the penguin colony, but he was warmly welcomed by other penguins, No matter whether it is a chinstrap penguin or a flashy penguin, none of the penguins have ever doubted his identity, and they don't even care about the purpose of his coming here...

It was as if he knew he would come.

Although Han Zhen is very reluctant to secretly speculate on the motives of the penguins like this person, after all, they look cute and innocent...But!In the short half day since they met Schwart, they have indeed behaved so unusually!

After the freshness and excitement of seeing a live emperor penguin for the first time dissipated, Professor Han finally discovered this important question belatedly --

These penguins should definitely not be completely hostile to him!

Even if they can speak, even if they are highly intelligent creatures, Han Zhen believes that the research results of human scientists for hundreds of years are correct, and the nature of penguins cannot be changed because of the talent of language and intelligence.

That is to say, behind Shawart's enthusiasm and kindness, there must be some important reason that I don't know, a reason that can make all the penguins here let go of their hostility in front of him.

But this reason... what is it?

'Hello, Mr. Human, you must be the great scientist invited by Shawart, right? '

Suddenly remembering the words Bill asked him when they first met, Han Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling something flashed from his mind.

"Shawart, please, Great Scientist?"

He repeated this sentence word by word, what is... a great scientist invited by Schwart?

Han Zhen rubbed his throbbing temples, forcing himself to calm down and clear his mind.

He was washed into the sea by an avalanche in Wilkes Land. No one expected that he would float into the Devil's Sea, and no one expected that he would pass through that treacherous sea to Coates Land unscathed.

His journey was too thrilling and bizarre, and it was by no means predictable and controllable by the penguins, so his encounter with Schwart must have been just a coincidence.

But in George's mouth, this does not seem to be purely accidental.

So what happened during his time in a coma?Why did he meet Shavert so coincidentally?And what is hidden behind the kindness the penguins have shown him so far?

Han Zhen suddenly felt reluctant to think about it.

The cold wind in Kotz cut his face like a knife, and Han Zhen was blown so hard that his brain throbbed. He stared at the blue coast in the distance for a long time, then suddenly closed his eyes, and through the plush hat He pulled his hair hard, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, all the suspicion and suspicion in him had dissipated, and he returned to his usual gentle and gentle appearance.

He decided to swallow all the speculation just now.

Whatever the purpose of the little penguins, at least Schwart saved him, didn't he?If it wasn't for Schwart, I'm afraid he would still think that he was still in Wilkes Land, innocently sitting on the coast waiting for the search and rescue team to rescue him.

He shouldn't be labeling the penguins a "need guard" just because of these unrealistic speculations, because he really only feels kindness and warmth from them so far, and nothing negative.

These kind and lovely little guys should not be so suspicious and defensive.

As for the "reason" for that possible existence...

Han Zhen pursed his lips and smiled. Since Schwart didn't mention it to him, it means that he doesn't need to know yet. If that's the case, let's wait until the day he needs to know.

So, Professor Han is really forgiving.

Han Zhen was outside the cave thinking about life against the cold wind, but on the other side, the atmosphere in the cave was not so relaxed.

Watching Han Zhen leave, Edward put away the frivolity and exaggeration in his eyes, and his originally casual expression gradually became serious.

"Did you tell him?"

"No."

"Then did he see anything?"

"No."

"That's good..." Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked again: "Do you really think he can do it?"

"Otherwise?" Shawart did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Or do you have a better way?"

Edward spread his hands and answered reluctantly: "No, but I always feel that he looks different from the human scientists George mentioned."

Afraid of Shawart's rebuttal, he spoke quickly: "He looks young and speaks in a normal tone, without any arrogance or majesty, and he is not at all the learned look that a scientist should have... "

"Have you ever seen a human scientist with your own eyes?" Shawart interrupted Edward's words in a deep voice.

"No, but George said..."

"Did George see it with his own eyes?"

"……No."

"That's it."

Shawart didn't even look at Edward, and bent down to clean up the icy slag that Han Zhen had just knocked out of the hole bit by bit.

"Since you haven't seen it with your own eyes, why do you say he doesn't look like it? I saw his work card before. He is a Chinese university professor and a member of the Antarctic expedition team. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. We don't have this. grounds for doubt."

Speaking of this, Shawart stopped, stared into Edward's eyes and said word by word: "Your worry, I understand, but Edward, I hope you can believe my vision, not to mention that I don't think you can find someone who is better than you." Han Zhen is a better scientist."

Shavert's eyes were calm, but Edward saw stubbornness in the depths of his dark pupils.

He pondered for a while, his eyes drifted to the bulging backpack brought by Han Zhen, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said in a discouraged way: "Okay, Shawart, I believe you, but I think you still have to test him For a moment,... No, don't rush to deny it, listen to me, I mean, in case he can't help, we have to make other preparations as soon as possible, after all, we don't have much time, don't we?"

Edward looked worried. The situation in the dwarf snow tundra was getting worse day by day, and they had no extra time to spend it slowly.

Shawart didn't answer the words, he took a deep breath, lowered his eyes slowly, the cave was so quiet that even the sound of water dripping on the ground could be heard.

"I'll find a way."

After a brief silence, Shawart suddenly raised his head, looked directly into Edward's eyes, and said solemnly as if swearing.

Edward froze for a moment, then showed a bright smile, lightly patted Shawart on the shoulder and said, "Well, I believe you."

In the face of nature, all forces are very small, no one can stop the pace of environmental degradation, all the penguins can do is to actively adapt to this change, try to think of ways to make themselves live longer and live better Some.

Edward didn't come to put pressure on Schwart. On the contrary, he and all the penguins here knew that Schwart had been working hard for everyone's future and never gave up.

Although as the living environment became worse and food became scarcer, everyone began to feel more or less anxious and restless, but their gratitude to Shawart never changed.

All the penguins here are very grateful to Shawart for everything he has done for everyone.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Edward coughed lightly, intending to change to a lighter topic to distract Shawart, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of "da da" footsteps coming from outside the cave, and after a while, he saw Han Zhen came in through the hole.

"Shawart, I'm back....Well, haven't you finished talking yet?"

Seeing the two penguins staring straight at him, one expressionless and the other smiling brightly, Han Zhen asked with a sneer and looked down at his watch.

He has been wandering outside for more than 20 minutes. Considering that Schwart and his little friends should have a lot of thoughtful things to say, he originally planned to wander for a while longer, but the Antarctic is too cold, so he will After a while, his hands and feet were numb from the cold, so he had to return.

After all, there is no wind in the cave, so it is many times warmer than outside.

But it still seems to disturb the conversation of the little penguins.

Han Zhen rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, and said apologetically after he regained some warmth, "Why don't I go out for a walk again?"

As he spoke, he turned and walked out, but he couldn't help sighing inwardly. In all fairness, he really didn't want to go out and get cut in the face by the wind knife, but after all, it's on other people's territory, so it's better not to make the master unhappy .

"come back."

Unexpectedly, Shawart stopped Han Zhen with his voice.

He took a deep look at Edward, and said indisputably, "We've finished talking, and he'll be back right away. Right, Edward?"

"what?"

Edward blinked his eyes, he hasn't finished his sentence yet, why is he going back?

However, after seeing Shawart's suggestive gaze, Edward's whole body trembled, and he nodded quickly like a conditioned reflex: "Yes, yes, yes, I will leave immediately, don't go out!"

I always feel that there is a threat of Chiguoguo in Shawart's eyes...

Really, isn't it just a little doubt about Professor Han's ability, as for looking at me with such eyes!

But after all, it is a flashy penguin, the "flashy" flowing in the bones is better than everything, and the embarrassment is only temporary, but in the blink of an eye, Edward returned to the previous appearance of the charming and charming son, and threw a kiss to Han Zhen , Said: "I live in the cave next door, remember to play with me when you have time~bye~~~"

Han Zhen had goosebumps all over his body: "..." Why did he feel like he had stepped into a red-light district?

Secretly imagining Edward winking and waving a small flower handkerchief, and shouting "Come~~~Happy~~~", Professor Han couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows.

Well, next time if there is a chance, I can give him a handkerchief, the one with pink embroidery!
