The chopped firewood was put aside, and one of the men, who was sweating in his vest, put more than ten smaller pieces of firewood into the big pit, then poured some gasoline on it, lit a match and threw it in.
"Bang!" Along with the sound of gasoline exploding, blazing flames suddenly emerged from the big pit. The dry firewood made crackling sounds under the burning of the flames, as if using this sound to welcome their splendor in the flames.
When the bonfire was completely burning, nearly fifty people had gathered in the small square. Even the soldiers of the Royal Canadian Army on duty came here under the leadership of Lieutenant Rodman. As for the guard duty, screw him. Although I am a soldier, at this time, a soldier is also a normal person, right? It doesn't matter if I don't monitor the radio for a while.
Including the seven soldiers of the Royal Canadian Army led by Lieutenant Rodman, there were a total of 27 people in the entire Alert settlement, four of whom came from faraway Los Angeles.
After the conversation, Yang Jing and Gege agreed that these four adventurers were definitely worthy of the word "great". The four of them had started walking across the entire North American continent since September last year, and then in winter, when the sea was frozen, they used dog sleds to cross the straits frozen by ice and snow between the Arctic archipelagoes, and finally arrived at the small town of Grise Fjord at the southern end of Ellesmere Island.
After a week of rest in Grise Firth, the four of them continued to cross the entire Ellesmere Island by dog sled, and finally arrived in Alert in mid-June. The journey took nine months and covered more than 8,000 kilometers and more than 5,000 miles!
Although the entire feat is not as long as the Long March taken by the Chinese predecessors, in terms of difficulty, it is definitely more difficult than the Long March.
You know, when the four of them crossed the entire North American continent, they spent six months in the extremely cold northern North American continent. In the Arctic archipelago in the cold season, it is absolutely fatal. But these four people actually crossed the entire North American continent, almost from the southwest corner of the North American continent to the northeast corner.
However, when Yang Jing and Gege learned that the four of them would each receive a bonus of one million US dollars for risking their lives to complete this journey, they felt relieved.
It turns out that these four people participated in a reality show held by Fox TV. The name of this reality show is "Challenging the Limits". This show is not very popular among ordinary viewers in North America, but it has a high status among some people who love traveling.
According to the requirements of the program, participants must start from Los Angeles and cannot use any mechanical power throughout the journey. They can only move forward by relying on their legs or riding horses, dog sleds, or sailboats.
There are many groups of people participating in this program. Some are a few people traveling around the world on a sailboat, while other groups are a few people walking along the Cordillera Mountains all the way to the southernmost tip of the South American continent.
The group consisting of four of them is the most dangerous group. As long as they can successfully reach Alert, the program team will pay each of them a bonus of one million US dollars.
Of course, they use a miniature digital camera to record their trip every day and transmit it back to Fox TV via satellite signals. These recorded shots are edited slightly to produce the most authentic content and shots of the day's program.
But even if it was for a million-dollar prize, the fact that the four of them were able to cross the entire North American continent in this way is definitely worthy of the word "great."
Yang Jing thought that he could not accomplish such a feat...
But just because he doesn't want to play this way doesn't mean the other one doesn't want to play this way.
Gege hugged Yang Jing's arm and acted coquettishly, "Honey, how about we find an opportunity to do a hiking trip like this? For example, we can cross the entire Antarctic continent in July, the coldest month in the southern hemisphere; or we can cross the entire Sahara Desert in July, the hottest month in the northern hemisphere... Wow, just the two of us, without Chris or the others, I think this is a very romantic thing."
Yang Jing wanted to sew this girl's mouth shut. If you want to kill yourself, you can't do it this way, right? In July, whether it's crossing the Sahara or the Antarctic, it's not much better than touching the electric switch...
This girl must have been tortured! No, we have to stay away from these four guys!
