Chapter 1753 Polar Bears Also Hibernate
Just a few years ago, something happened that almost triggered World War III: someone came to Daxia to cause trouble with a so-called "result" that had no legal effect at all.
During that period, the two sides were fighting each other's moves, which was very exciting.
What's that saying? The paper we haven't signed is shit in the toilet!
Are you really taking chicken feathers as your authority?
Of course, verbal battles alone won't solve the problem. The subsequent military deployments by both sides were even more tense! Nearly two hundred warships from both sides were engaged in a standoff at sea!
This is a very rare thing.
The old routine was: you held an exercise in the east, I'd hold one in the west. The content of the exercises was very similar, but they were "just" far away from each other. The principle was: tit-for-tat, no accidental firing. But this time? Both sides had weapons pointed at each other's heads!
That confrontation nearly sparked World War III.
They say those who are not afraid of death deserve to live. The Americans were finally intimidated and retreated in disgrace. How could such soldiers not be respected? It was precisely because of this that Xiao Peng's ship was full of soldiers, and they all enjoyed generous treatment!
This is what they deserve!
Kaxin suddenly asked: "Boss, are you hungry?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Now that you mention it, I'm really hungry. Let's have hot pot?"
"Of course!" Kashin parked the car beside the coniferous forest and went to the trunk to dig out various ingredients. The trunk was now filled with boxes of various sizes, most of which contained vacuum-packed vegetables and various canned goods that Kashin had brought from Moscow.
The most unbearable thing about the Arctic region is the lack of vegetables! Xiao Peng likes to eat meat, but since he arrived in Russia, what he misses most is all kinds of vegetables.
There were only potatoes and carrots, and at most a pickle, and that was it! Xiao Peng was constipated from eating too much meat, so he sent Kashin to Moscow for a major shopping trip.
You definitely can't use a charcoal stove to eat hot pot in the car—you'd probably choke to death! Would they dare open the windows in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius below zero? Even with the heater on, you still need a jacket if you're out in the wild for a long time! If you open the windows, the temperature quickly drops to the same as outside.
But Xiao Peng and his team also had a solution: they used the cigarette lighter socket to connect the power socket directly to the induction cooker, so there was no need to worry about people choking to death in the car.
They first boiled a pot of tea on the induction cooker to warm themselves up, and then put the small pot on it to start boiling.
"Kasin, how far is it from here to Vorkuta?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kaxin rinsed a handful of spinach in the pot, then put it in the bowl and said, "It's still about 80 kilometers away. After I finish my meal, I'll drive for another two or three hours and we'll be there."
Xiao Peng nodded.
It wasn't that Kashin was driving slowly. This was the Arctic, after all. Even if you could drive 50 kilometers per hour on the highway, that was fast, let alone in the wilderness. Who knew what was going on under the snow? Driving here was impossible.
The place they are going to now is Vorkuta, that place... is really bullshit!
That city is a city enclosed in the Arctic wilderness. There is no road in the entire city that leads to other places! The only way to go elsewhere is by rail or plane.
There's only one flight a week, and the fares are incredibly high, making them unaffordable for most people. Railway fares are cheaper, but the railways there are primarily used for freight transport of coal and timber. Therefore, passenger trains are even less frequent, running only about once a month.
Moreover, flights here are only available between May and October. The weather is too bad for the remaining six months, even for Russian pilots, and they cannot take off or land here.
Oh, the Soviets also thought about building a railway from Salekhard to there, but they gave up halfway through.
In short, it was a closed-off city. To get there, one had to cross the wilderness.
For the locals, who sometimes travel between Salekhard and Vorkuta, they often find relatively safe paths through the wilderness—the path Xiao Peng and Kashin were currently traveling. However, this "safety" is only relative; one could easily fall into a pit and face certain death. Xiao Peng and his companions had already fallen into snow pits four or five times along the way. If it weren't for Xiao Peng's extraordinary strength, they would have perished in the wilderness by now.
If ordinary people want to take the same route as Xiao Peng and his friends, they must find a local tour guide!
"Fuck!" Kasim suddenly cursed.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Kasin was a little embarrassed: "I suddenly have to pee!"
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "You have to pee even when eating. Go quickly. Remember to rub your hands with snow before coming back!"
Ka Xin hummed, went to the front seat, opened the door and got out, which made Xiao Peng so angry that he yelled, "Close the door! Are you fucking not letting me eat? I'm freezing to death!"
After closing the door, Kaxin curled his lips and said, "How can the wind not blow in if the door is opened? I've already found a place to park in the wind."
He went straight to the rear tire, unzipped his pants with great effort, and peed comfortably. After he finished, he lowered his head and grabbed a handful of snow to wash his hands. After grabbing a handful of snow, he was a little confused. Why couldn't he grab the snow? No, this didn't look like snow, it looked like animal fur!
Xiao Peng was still eating hotpot when he suddenly saw Kasim open the door and jump into the car with a look of horror on his face.
"Hey, what are you doing? You came up here without even zipping up your pants? Isn't that disgusting?" Xiao Peng complained.
Kasim pointed outside the car and said, "Boss, a polar bear!"
"Where is it?" Xiao Peng went over to open the door and took a look. Hey! There really was a polar bear lying next to a tree, and you could even see it breathing.
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at Kaxin and said, "Why are you so nervous? Can't you see it's hibernating there?"
Polar bears also hibernate, but they don't find a burrow in the ground. Instead, they spread some hay on the ground and lie down there to sleep.
Kasin said helplessly: "Boss, of course I know it's hibernating, but polar bears don't hibernate deeply. If it wakes up, we'll have food delivered to our doorstep!"
Xiao Peng knocked on the car body. "Let it chew through this car first. Alright, hurry up and eat and get going! I'm telling you, I respect soldiers the most. You were a soldier after all, so please don't ruin my image of a soldier, okay? Oh, go ahead. You're a Russian soldier anyway."
"...Boss, what are you talking about? Can't you shut up even when you're eating? Oh, don't hit me!"
