The Arctic was covered in a blanket of snow the night before last, with snowballs floating on the sea.
The weather was extremely bad at the moment, and according to forecasts, gale-force winds of level 9 to 10, and sometimes even higher, were expected to blow over the sea for the next few days.
Such weather is extremely unfavorable for navigation, so during this period, the number of ships adrift on the Arctic Ocean has decreased significantly. Those that remain are all large ships that are confident they can withstand the strong winds.
The captains of those ships that still dare to remain in the Arctic Ocean region must be incredibly bold.
Xu Qiaoqiao peeked out, the snow on the sea surface had not completely melted, and for some reason, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that the snow was dirty and had a strange smell.
She looked at the ship, which had become just a small black dot, and thought to herself, "What do I say?"
The happiest person about the reduced number of boats was Jun Qi. Because of this, he has been going out to play on the sea with Xu Qiaoqiao from time to time these past few days, and has returned to his usual lively self.
After the ship, now just a tiny black dot, disappeared, Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly saw a polar bear walking across the ice not far away. Its fur looked messy, and its majestic figure and constantly moving head seemed to be sensing the wind.
It was searching for food, hoping to find a seal or some fish.
Jun Qi noticed that Xu Qiaoqiao's attention was focused in one direction, which puzzled him. So he looked over and saw a white bear. He flicked Xu Qiaoqiao's tail and asked, "Qiaoqiao, are you looking at that bear?"
Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head, her eyes bright, and nodded, which was her answer to his question.
After answering, she remembered some things Jun Qi had said before, as if she had recalled some memories.
So, she felt her pectoral fins trembling with excitement, and she was looking forward to his next answer: Junjun, that white-furred bear is called a polar bear, do you remember it?
Polar bear?
Hmm~ Jun Qi looked at the polar bear, hesitated slightly, turned to Xu Qiaoqiao, and said: I saw these guys when I came here last time.
What else?
Xu Qiaoqiao flapped her pectoral fins, wondering if there were any other answers yet.
Jun Qi hesitated slightly before giving another answer: they had fought when they met last time.
Xu Qiaoqiao: ? ? ?
fight?
How come she didn't know about this?
Jun Qi didn't seem to care. Fighting wasn't new to him; he'd fought before, and he'd only exchanged a few blows with this bear. The last time he came here, he saw him in the sea, and it seemed he was catching a seal.
"Oh, I see." Xu Qiaoqiao nodded, indicating that she understood. When Junjun was a polar bear, she saw him jump into the sea to catch fish. It's not surprising that she had seen him in the sea.
But what else?
Is that all?
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi, wondering what else he would say.
But Jun Qi didn't say anything more. He just looked at her with bright eyes. His head looked a bit square, which didn't resemble his round body at all.
The two whale sharks stared at each other for a minute. When the howling wind blew past their bald heads, bringing a chill, Xu Qiaoqiao subconsciously shrank her head and stopped the inexplicable staring.
Jun Qi leaned in first, his lips touching Xu Qiaoqiao's, rubbing against hers a few times, and flapping his pectoral fins: Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao...
There was nothing else, just calling her name over and over again.
Qiaoqiao's mood just now was a bit off, just like how she felt when she looked at the stars and moon before.
Jun Qi didn't know why Qiao Qiao asked that question. He felt something was off, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only call out her name.
After receiving Jun Qi's message, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little amused and exasperated. So what if she had no memory? Why was this guy still calling her name? It was kind of embarrassing.
It doesn't matter if she can't remember, as long as she remembers herself. If she can't remember these memories either, then she has truly been forgotten.
Okay, okay, I've heard enough. Let's go take a look ahead.
Xu Qiaoqiao flapped her pectoral fins, conveying the meaning of her words to Jun Qi. Then she raised her head and rubbed her chin against his kiss. The cold seawater mixed in made the intimate actions feel even clearer to both of them.
After receiving the message from Xu Qiaoqiao, Jun Qi couldn't help but move happily, flapping his pectoral fins. He kissed Xu Qiaoqiao's face several times to indicate: Okay.
Seeing this, Xu Qiaoqiao smiled as well. The two of them continued forward. Because there was a lot of snow on the sea, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi simply swam underwater.
There are many glaciers here. Just looking at them gives you a chill that rises from the soles of your feet, and the cooling effect is amazing.
Jun Qi wagged his tail excitedly. This time in the Arctic, he started paying attention to animals he had never seen before. He was in a good mood and would rub against Xu Qiaoqiao from time to time, giving her kisses. He was very affectionate.
Qiaoqiao, look, those whales are all white and plump, and they look so lively.
Xu Qiaoqiao gently patted Jun Qi's head: This is a beluga whale.
The beluga whales I saw this time weren't as enthusiastic as the ones I saw last time. I guess it was because it was the first time I'd ever seen one, so I was very curious.
When they saw Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, they only glanced at them briefly before continuing their march forward.
During their first few days in the Arctic, the two of them barely ate anything.
Before they arrived, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi had already eaten a hearty meal, and they ate for several days in a row to ensure that they wouldn't feel hungry when they entered the Arctic.
Besides this reason, although the Arctic was a remote place in the past, nowadays, with the progress of human production, the power of industry, and the use of various chemical products, all parts of the earth are polluted by industrial chemicals, and the Arctic is no exception.
Although the Arctic islands are considered "no man's land," they are still inhabited by "Arctic natives" who are accustomed to hunting animals locally for food.
However, over time, local food has accumulated high levels of organic pollutants, such as fatty fish, halibut, herring, and certain species of salmon, all of which contain toxic compounds.
Furthermore, the ability of marine mammals at the top of the food chain to accumulate persistent organic pollutants in their oils is unparalleled.
For example, seals, whales, polar bears, and seabirds that frequently consume these marine animals have relatively high concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in their blood and contain more persistent organic pollutants in their bodies.
But for indigenous people who rely on marine mammals for survival, this is almost inevitable.
Therefore, Xu Qiaoqiao does not want to become like this. Although it is impossible not to eat here, she still tries to reduce the frequency and amount of eating.
