Chapter 94 One Condition
The icebreaker was larger than the yacht they were on, and its flag had the logo of the Antarctic scientific expedition team on it.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen quickly returned to the yacht from the cruise ship. No one had noticed the icebreaker yet.
Jiang Linhai asked Jiang Si: "Have you found any ice-breaking machinery?"
Jiang Si shook his head: "No, but we found some guns and ammunition, which will last us for a long time. It's also a pleasant surprise."
Before Jiang Linhai could even rejoice, Jiang Si said solemnly, "An icebreaker has arrived. Everyone, be careful and alert. If the situation is not right, we must leave here by helicopter, even in a blizzard."
Jiang Linhai was startled and went to the cockpit. Through the glass, he saw a ship no bigger than a sesame seed appear in his sight.
Everyone had finally managed to arrange the ship in a proper manner, but suddenly it was faced with danger. The happy atmosphere after eating hot pot suddenly became low.
Now the days are longer and the nights are shorter, and it is getting darker.
But the icebreaker in the distance seemed to have hardly moved.
Jiang Linhai speculated: "It's already dark, why is the boat not moving? Is there something wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Si discovered through the telescope that the faint lights of the icebreaker were suddenly extinguished. After a while, a ladder was lowered from the ship, and several people came down. Braving the wind and snow, they moved towards them like penguins.
Jiang Si guessed: "This icebreaker must be out of fuel. Everyone should be on high alert."
"good."
Eight small black dots disappeared from the sea level after more than an hour, and then they became the size of rice grains from the size of sesame seeds.
There is no means of transportation that can run on the ice, so it is more difficult than imagined.
Everyone kept staring at it with telescopes, not daring to stop for a moment.
This group of people were all blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, and they all looked tired and weak.
Fearing danger, they kept waving the flag of the Northern Research Group.
Lu Zhifeng frowned: "Are you going to rescue?"
These people don't look like bad people.
Jiang Si shook his head. "Be careful of a scam. They're not far away. Let them come over."
These people were really weak and didn't seem to be pretending. They walked and stopped, and one of them even fell down halfway. He was dragged forward by his companions with difficulty.
Jiang Si said, "Icebreakers are different from ordinary ships. They must be equipped with at least fifty crew members. For example, the Northland Antarctic Research Group also carries tourists to see the Antarctic scenery, so there can be up to two hundred people on board. If only these few people survived, they definitely won't be easy to deal with."
She had experienced the evil of human nature thoroughly in her previous life. The more kindness she had, the more risks she brought to her family.
The eight of them supported each other until they were almost in front of the cruise ship, only then did they dare to use the loudspeakers they were holding in their arms: "Help! Help! Is anyone there?"
They were shouting in English. Jiang Linhai asked, "What are they saying?"
Jiang Sidao: "They are shouting for help."
No matter how they shouted, Jiang Si did not show any mercy.
It wasn't until they reached the ice in front of the yacht that Jiang Si raised his gun, pointed it at them, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
When the eight men saw the guns in their hands, they were so frightened that they immediately raised their hands and hurriedly explained, "We are staff and crew members of the Antarctic research mission. We have encountered difficulties and come here for help."
Judging from their tone, it seems that they don’t know the end of the world yet.
Jiang Si asked sullenly, "When did you return from Antarctica?"
The tallest, handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes hurriedly explained, "One day seven months ago, we suddenly lost contact with the research institute. Unable to give up on our research, we thought it was just a signal failure. As a result, we didn't get any supplies, so we set out and returned a month ago. However, when we returned, we found that the world was frozen and our supplies were exhausted. Please, help us, we will repay you."
One day seven months ago, electromagnetic field suddenly disappeared and a global power outage basically occurred.
Jiang Si was certain that they were still unaware of the impending doomsday, so he asked Jiang Linhai to serve them some hot porridge. "Drink some porridge first. Once you have enough strength, you can go and move the supplies to the cruise ship on your own."
The hot porridge in the thermos became cold instantly after I opened it.
While the porridge had not yet solidified, the eight men quickly drank it, feeling full of strength and less wary of Jiang Si and the others.
Blond Jack added, "Thank you, but do you have a doctor? Many people on our ship are sick."
As soon as he finished speaking, the thinnest man fell to the ground.
Jack said hurriedly, "It's pulmonary edema, but we have no medicine or oxygen for everyone to breathe."
One of the most common diseases among people doing Antarctic research is pulmonary edema.
Pulmonary edema does not require surgery. It requires a doctor to make a professional assessment and give the patient diuretics and vasodilators to reduce the cardiac preload and postload and pulmonary capillary pressure, thereby reducing the patient's pulmonary edema.
Antibiotics are commonly used for pulmonary edema and can effectively control infection. Hormones can also inhibit inflammatory responses and promote the disappearance of edema.
Qin Shen is a doctor. Even if he is not proficient in everything, he knows a little bit about it.
Jiang Si had lived in an extremely cold area for two years in his previous life and was familiar with pulmonary edema. He immediately took out his medicine box and watched Qin Shen give Jack's team members an injection of antibiotics.
The antibiotics were injected, and after a while, the man's labored breathing gradually calmed down.
Jack and his companions were so excited that they kept saying, "Thank God, thank you!" Then they pressed the issue further, saying, "Could you please, doctor, come with us to the ship? We still have many team members who need medical treatment."
He could tell at a glance that Qin Shen's technique was neat and agile, and that he was a skilled doctor.
In addition to patients with emphysema, there were many other people on board who had low blood pressure, coma and other symptoms due to the low temperature due to insufficient heating in the cabin to supply the ship's operation and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
Originally, their team had two doctors, but they are now in a coma.
Jack's wife also developed organ inflammation.
They really need help now.
The appearance of Jiang Si and others was undoubtedly a life-saving straw.
Going to the boat to rescue people, Qin Shen's gaze fell on Jiang Si's face. His deep eyes quietly revealed an attitude: if Jiang Si wanted him to go, he would go.
Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly retracted his gaze and stared at the icebreaker for a full minute before saying, "We can go and help you rescue people, but I have a condition."
Jack said without hesitation: "God, as long as you can save them, I will promise you anything."
Jiang Si looked at him, "Can you represent everyone?"
Jack's face flashed with hesitation before he asked, "What do you want us to do?"
Jiang Si pointed at the icebreaker and said, "I don't want you to do anything, I want your icebreaker."
When these words were spoken, not only Jack and the others were shocked, but even Jiang Linhai and the others were surprised.
If there were icebreakers, they would be able to break through the ice and move forward in the ocean even if the helicopter could not take off.
