Chapter 668 Admit It!

It's already the third day

Lei Xue lived in the room and recorded the two days after entering the ice region with pen and ink. The room is still as beautiful as before, but if you look closely, you will find a trace of decay on the originally vibrant wood grain. a feeling of.

According to technical conditions, the wood on this ship is high-grade biological wood, and after special craftsmanship, it will not show signs of decay even if it is soaked in water for 30 years. God, many things on the ship are undergoing an inexplicable change.

Lei Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to write the content with his frozen hands: On the third day after entering the ice area, since there are floating ice blocks on the sea surface at any time, it is necessary to break the ice all the time, which leads to a sharp drop in the forward speed of the ship. The range of the ship was less than a hundred nautical miles, but there was still no sign of leaving the ice.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is an irresistible cold. The heating equipment on the ship is useless, and the thick cotton coat on the body is irresistible, even the food. There is no such delicious enjoyment as before!

Moreover, the food on board is rotting at a rapid rate, especially the sealed canned meat, which corrodes extremely quickly. According to Tangdou, the canned food uses a high-quality vacuum technology, and the shelf life is at least over Three years, and the freshness of the meat will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

But this statement does not seem to be realized, and I don’t know if there is a problem with the sealing technology of the cans or the environment here, because according to the chef’s report: After the cans were opened, only half of the weight remained, and they were pitch black and exuded a rotten stench. , It also feels like it has been eaten by something!

Mosenkin and I examined the cans carefully and found no signs of being opened, but they did show signs of being eaten, which is disturbing because even microbes should not be able to enter the cans. It's inside the sealed can. Could it be that there is something wrong with the seal?

Just as I was writing this, there was a slight knock on the door outside

"My lord, the captain asked you to gather for a meeting!"

When Lei Xue heard the words, the pen stopped slightly, and she carefully put the diary in her pocket, and walked out slowly.

As soon as the door was opened, she smelled a faint musty smell. The source of this smell has not been found so far. It has been spreading on the ship less than three hours after entering the ice area. What a lethargic feeling!

After walking out of the room, she followed the crew member, and soon came to the meeting room. The table in the middle of the meeting room had been demolished, and more than a dozen senior personnel on the ship were sitting around a fire. At this time, everyone was using the most primitive way to keep warm.

But this is the most useful method in current experiments. Pure flame is the only thing that can bring warmth to people in this weird ice field.

So a lot of unused wood on the ship was used to burn. The good news is that these woods are of high quality and can withstand burning. A small piece can often burn for a long time.

"Lei Xue, come here, sit here!" Li Goudan waved quickly when he saw Lei Xue coming.

Lei Xue didn't talk too much, and walked over quickly, and when she got to the fire, a long-lost warmth came, so comfortable that it almost made people groan.

"Let's get down to business." Li Goudan rubbed his hands and said, "Today is already the third day, and there is no hope in going forward. The captain is considering whether to go back and exit this ice field!!"

Everyone was refreshed when they heard the words!

After three days, the captain finally said something useful, and she finally gave up!

"Captain, I think it's necessary!" The second officer was the first to agree, and the people around nodded quickly. It was obvious that they were going crazy in such a ghostly day.

Lei Xue also nodded slightly, the current situation is getting more and more weird, it is indeed an unwise choice to move forward

It was Wang Ye, the chief mate, who said, "Most of the food on board has rotted, so if we retreat and take a detour, can we continue to reach our destination?"

Lei Xue: "The food stored on the ship was spoiled due to unknown reasons, but the fresh biological circulation system was not lost"

Wang Ye: "But that shouldn't be enough for the hundreds of people on board, right?"

"You can fish." Lei Xue continued: "There is an advanced fishing system on board, and there are even conditions for hunting large sea whales. As long as you go out of this ice area, you can still meet your food needs by relying on the fishing system to hunt sea creatures." , As for the absence of fruit, indoor greenhouses can be used to grow higher sour fruits"

"Are there no sea creatures in this ice area?" Wang Ye asked curiously.

"There doesn't seem to be any at the moment." Lei Xue shook his head gravely: "I activated the underwater detector to find new food sources after I found a lot of food spoilage, but the strange thing is that there is no sign of life under this sea area, so I moved on. Two days, still nothing, just like the Dead Sea!"

Hearing this statement, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Li Goudan shrank his head slightly, obviously regretting that he led the team in on impulse.

Wang Ye frowned, and finally sighed: "In this case, I also support the retreat."

He originally wanted to protect the dignity of the captain. Although entering the ice region seemed to be a wrong decision, he had already come to this point. If he had the opportunity to persist, he still hoped to persist. After all, it is easy to go back on the past decision, which is very detrimental to the captain's position

"That's it, let's turn around and head back!!" Li Goudan finally said!

Seeing this decision, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

They are afraid that the captain will insist on going his own way now.

After the decision was made, everyone quickly stood up and prepared to inform the crew. Although they were a bit reluctant to part with the warmth of the fire, the news was obviously more exciting.

Seeing everyone's finally liberated expressions, Li Goudan felt a little lost, Wang Ye walked in to comfort him and said, "It's the first time, it's normal to make some mistakes in decision-making, and outstanding people are constantly growing up through failures." of."

"Your chicken soup doesn't taste good at all," Li Goudan pouted.

Wang Ye chuckled, and said embarrassedly: "The background of the special forces, the cultural level is limited hahaha"

Li Goudan couldn't help smiling when he saw his embarrassed appearance, and was about to say more, when suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, Li Goudan frowned suddenly, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.

"Captain!!" The person who came was the second officer, Wilson, who hurried over and shouted before reaching the conference room: "There is a problem in the rear!"

"What's the situation?" Wang Ye drifted over. Although he looked like a ball, his tone of voice was full of courage due to his years of experience as a special captain.

"Rear, rear," Wilson stammered after taking a breath, "It's frozen!"

"Huh?" Li Goudan stood up abruptly and rushed towards the deck.
