Chapter 1178 1178. Subdue (25)
"Pull the loop!" Li Du said in a deep voice.
Needless to say, the bearded man knew what to do. He struggled in the icy sea, trying to grab the loop made by the front end of the rope.
With all his strength, Li Du quickly dragged the bearded man onto the ice.
The ice layer over there was very fragile. The beard hit the ice to apply pressure, and there was a continuous "crack" sound, and a surrounding ice layer was completely shattered!
Now it's interesting, just like making dumplings, the hunters who were going to rescue the bearded man lost their balance and fell into the icy water!
The bearded man was fine, he was dragged onto the ice on his stomach with little pressure, but the ice on his side remained intact, and was successfully dragged up by Li Du.
Taking out the rope from his hand, Li Du threw it down to another person, catching the five people who fell into the water one by one like fishing.
It was his conspiracy that the beard fell into the water, and the other five people were unlucky for them. The area of the ice layer absorbed by the little flying insects was a bit large, and they were implicated.
But for Li Du, this was a surprise. He originally only wanted to sell a favor to the bearded man, but he did not expect to sell such a favor.
Especially after he pulled these people up, the heads of several sea lions were exposed beside the broken ice.
Antarctic sea lions are not as cute and cute as their appearance shows. They have a strong desire to attack in the water, especially in the warm season. At this time, they have to frantically store fat in order to survive the winter, and frantically attack their prey to eat.
Seeing the group of sea lions emerging from the water, the hunters breathed a sigh of relief and drew crosses on their chests.
Li Du coiled up the rope and hung it on his shoulder again. The young hunter who had mocked him earlier was not far away from him, so he smiled at the young man and said, "Now I know the purpose of holding the rope? There are no mines or pits here. , but there are ice caves here.”
A hunter asked in astonishment: "How could you expect such a thing to happen?"
Li Du pointed to his eyes and said: "Because I have this, I can observe. I found meteorites by observing. Of course, I don't have clairvoyant eyes. If you were washed under the ice by sea water just now, I can't save you." .”
The hunters were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back. If they really fell into the water and were washed into the ice, the end would be death.
The bearded man stood up in shame, and he said to Li Du: "I'm sorry, sir, I apologize to you for my satirical remarks just now."
The other hunters were also very embarrassed. They didn't make a sound, but they all lowered their heads. No one treated Li Du with a hostile attitude.
Li Du patted the bearded man's shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, we are companions. Your name is Han Kewei? Hello Han Kewei, take your buddy to change clothes."
When walking in Antarctica, the clothes you wear must not only keep warm, but also be waterproof, because even if you don’t fall into the water, you will be easily splashed by ice and snow blown up by the wind.
The hunters brought a change of clothes. They were very resistant to freezing, so they took off their clothes in the cold wind to dry their bodies, and then put on dry clothes.
After Li Du's goal was achieved, the attitude of these hunters towards him suddenly changed drastically. When they made eye contact with him, they would take the initiative to smile.
Obviously, Li Du has won their friendship.
All this was not expected by Li Du. At Lightning Ridge, he used similar means to subdue Obradovic and others, but that accident was a natural disaster, and this accident was a man-made disaster.
The hunters in the back dare not get too close to the beach, and Steve also warned everyone: "The ice and snow melt in the warm season, everyone stay away from the sea, where the ice is washed by sea water and melts faster, be careful before falling."
More than 20 people dispersed, walking slowly on the ice, searching for meteorites underground.
For one morning, they found nothing.
They have been working, because they are always staring at the snow-white ice cap, even with protective glasses, their eyes are a little uncomfortable, but even though they worked hard, they still did not find the meteorite.
This is normal, finding meteorites is more difficult than finding other gems, especially on the ground, it is even more difficult.
After all, the time it takes for a meteorite to fall to the ground can be measured in tens of thousands of years, at most tens of millions of years. After such a period of time, the meteorite may be weathered into powder, or it may experience crustal movement, and it is unknown where it fell.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Steve waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's stop first, everyone rests and prepares for lunch."
Someone drove a sled to follow them, and when they stopped, they immediately moved down the windproof tent, and then everyone worked together to start building the tent.
After the tent was built, Li Du first went to find a place to sit down and rest.
He was exhausted from the journey, and he used small flying insects to search below all morning, but he didn't find a single meteorite.
He found the meteorite yesterday, it was pure luck, it wasn't even him who discovered it, it was Ah Meng who discovered it.
Not long after he sat down, someone handed over a kettle and said, "Drink some hot wine, your body will warm up and you will recover faster."
Li Du turned his head and saw the bearded man sitting next to him with his hat off.
This bearded man is of yellow blood, and his complexion is similar to Li Du's, but his hair is light yellow, and his eyes are also a little green.
He took the flagon in a friendly way and nodded, "Thank you."
The bearded man laughed and said, "I should be the one to thank you. My name is Hanks. I'm from Nenets. Who are you?"
"Li, call me Li, I'm Chinese." Li Du took a sip of hot wine.
These wines have just been heated, and the temperature is suitable, but the alcohol content is very high, the taste buds soaked in the mouth hurt, and the spirits entered the throat like a knife.
However, the alcohol content is high, and the energy contained is also high. Li Du can absorb energy from alcohol to restore the energy consumed by using small flying insects.
So even though he thought the wine was very strong and unpalatable, Li Du drank several gulps, and then subconsciously shouted: "It's so good!"
Seeing him take a few gulps of wine, Hankway showed an excited expression, gave a thumbs up and said: "Chinese, good man, you have a really good drinking capacity!"
Li Du smiled and said, "It's not bad, take a sip too, and drink more, otherwise you won't have to drink."
These hunters seem to like to judge heroes by their drinking capacity, so Li Du couldn't let go of this opportunity to pretend.
Han Kewei drank two mouthfuls of spirits and handed back the wine jug to Li Du. After Li Du got it, he didn't hesitate anymore, raised his head and drank it down!
The hunters who entered the tent to keep warm were stunned when they saw this scene, and then some people applauded, and others followed suit, and there was crackling applause.
Newman climbed into the tent and asked, "Hey, is there a show?"
"Pure man's performance, Mr. Li drank a pot of vodka!" A hunter shouted in admiration.
Newman was taken aback: "God, 78% alcohol, it can almost be used as medical alcohol, have you drank it all?"
Li Du threw the jug to him, and said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, how can we not drink more wine to refresh our blood?"
