Chapter 1304 1304. Dense Fog (35)

These materials can play a big role, which can be seen from that night.

Steve entered the village with some butter, cream and olive oil, and contacted several villagers to stay overnight, and the price was these supplies.

The villagers readily agreed, and packed out some wooden houses for them. There was a kind of equipment that Li Du was very familiar with inside.

The furry kids liked this kind of warm environment. Li Du opened a room, and they immediately jumped on the kang and found a place to lie down, and the spacious kang was immediately full.

The room had to accommodate two people no matter what, Sophie pushed them into the corner and let the little one lie on the big one, saving space as much as possible.

Ah Ao didn't want to, and shook his head to shake Ah Bai down, and Ah Bai suddenly became unhappy, pointing at it with wide eyes and screaming.

Sophie smiled softly: "Ah, you have to be good, you are good friends, and good friends should sleep together."

Ah Ao gritted his teeth and assumed a rebellious posture.

Li Du rushed in like a gust of wind, dragged Ah Ao out, pushed it outside the door and said, "If you don't want to sleep together, you will watch the door outside tonight!"

A gust of night wind blows, the temperature is a little low, the temperature difference is a little big, Ah Ao is shivering from the cold.

Now it is honest, after tiptoeing back to the kang, it honestly huddles with the whites, and it is the most well-behaved from behind.

Li Du clapped his hands and said to Sophie: "These brats are all low-spirited, and they will not be honest if they don't beat them."

It was quite comfortable to sleep on the kang. If it wasn't for helping Steve and his party to find meteorites, Li Du really wanted to stay in the village until autumn before leaving.

Unfortunately, such a comfortable life will soon be gone forever.

When they left the village the next day, Steve saw him reluctantly, and said with a smile, "I'll take you to a better place in a few days, and then you'll find that there's nothing here."

The place they set foot on is the second largest island in the Northland Archipelago, called Bolshevik Island, with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers, 30% of which is covered by glaciers, and the terrain is complex, with many mountains and hills.

After meeting the meteorite hunters in Vorkuta, the number of their group increased to more than fifty people.

Eight heavy-duty off-road vehicles were packed, and some mountain bikes and ATVs were added to the convoy, so their lineup was getting bigger.

It was already mid-May when they arrived on Bolshevik Island, and the temperature increased slightly, and then they encountered heavy fog when they traveled.

The fog emerges from the sea, boundless, but it is very strange, this fog is not as overwhelming as it is on land, it floats at a certain height above the ground.

The height of this section is about half a meter. After squatting down, the vision is not greatly hindered. If you stand up, you can see at most tens of meters outside.

The terrible thing is that after the fog appeared, it quickly became thicker. At first, the field of vision was only tens of meters, but it quickly became more than ten meters, and finally even became several meters!

At this point, the fog becomes very dense. If the sky is darker, it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.

The view is not good, the car has to drive slowly, and there is no road on the island, it is all wild and primitive terrain, so the speed drops again and again.

When they were about to drive out of the village, someone suddenly appeared on the road at the entrance of the village.

The driver who was in charge of opening the road hurriedly stepped on the brakes and couldn't help cursing: "Fake, are you dying?"

The car does not drive fast, but it is heavy, and emergency braking is still a bit difficult. If it is at a normal speed, it may be too late to brake at such a short distance.

Li Du got out of the car and asked, "Hi, old man, what can I do?"

Appearing in front of the car was an old man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, and a long beard that almost reached his chest.

The old man raised his head and spoke in a language that Li Du didn't understand.

The cars behind stopped one after another, and the guide hired by Steve came. He came from a scientific research institute on the island. Russia set up a scientific research institute called Prim on Bolshevik Island. Steve hired one of the security guards.

He knew the local dialect, so he went to communicate with the old man.

Steve asked, "Andrek, what's going on here?"

Andrik was a big, strong Russian man. He turned around and said, "Mr. Steve, this old man is Salas of the village. He said that you can't travel on this kind of day."

Li Du asked in a low voice: "What is Salas?"

Woody next to him replied: "It's troublesome to explain in detail, and I have to introduce the situation of this nation. Simply put, they are the village head and wizard, who are responsible for the theology of the village."

Steve asked again: "Why can't you travel? Is it easy to get into a car accident because of poor visibility? It doesn't matter. There is no other fleet on the island except us, so let's just drive slowly."

Andrik chatted with the old man again, and then came back and said solemnly: "No, Salas said that there are evil spirits traveling in this weather, and evil spirits from the deep sea of ​​the Arctic will come ashore. He suggested that we wait until the fog clears."

After hearing this, the whole group laughed, there is no doubt that this is superstition.

Andrik said: "I have seen this kind of weather, you know, gentlemen, I stay in the scientific research institute, we talk about science, but science can't explain why the fog floats on the ground and the sea, as if something blocked it Like sea fog."

"Maybe it has something to do with humidity, wind force and surface temperature." Little Ford gave a guess.

Andrik shook his head: "I've heard Salas's statement before, and it was from our director. They said that there were evil spirits from the deep sea of ​​the Arctic that came ashore, and the fog was brought up from the deep sea, so it is very cold."

This is true. The fog on the surface rises quickly and is cold, like floating snow, sticking to people's skin makes people feel extremely cold.

"This kind of evil spirit is called Titok, which means eyes on the legs in the local dialect. It releases this kind of mist floating on the ground, and it looks for prey through the eyes on the legs, and its vision is not affected by the fog. Obstacles, so traveling on this day is very dangerous." Andrik said seriously.

Laughing louder and louder, Steve patted Andrik on the shoulder and said: "This is a fake, it would be great if there is such a monster, we catch it and take it to the United States, believe me, we can earn ten dollars Money that can never be spent in a lifetime."

Andrik was a little uneasy, and said, "Maybe we wait? The fog rises so quickly, it must disappear quickly. How about we wait until the fog clears before going out?"

Steve shook his head and said, "We don't have that much time to waste, please thank Salas for his kindness, and let's continue on our way."

The old man said some more words, and Andrik went to explain. He shook his head and stood aside, looking at the team and muttering to himself.

The car passed by, Li Du looked at him through the window, and suddenly realized that the old man was blind!
