Chapter 1706 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 98] Number of people plus one
On the road in Yuechen early in the morning, the originally cleaned road surface was covered with a layer of ankle-deep snow.
This level of snowfall might be considered heavy in areas where snow and ice are not common, but in this permafrost-covered land, it is just a slightly thicker "frost".
The staff responsible for maintaining the base began cleaning before dawn.
When Fu Fu followed the leader of the third group out of the warm and comfortable room, several snow trails for easy walking had already been cleared in the base.
Fu Fu shivered as the cold wind blew in her face and she quickly put on the furry hood.
The leader of the third group, who was holding his pipe leisurely and preparing to take a sip of it a second ago, turned around and hid directly behind Liefeng, using the latter's huge body as a barrier to block the cold wind.
She is most afraid of cold.
If there weren't so many endless research topics in the Everfrost Permafrost, she wouldn't be willing to come here to suffer the cold in the snow!
Fu Fu imitated the leader of the third group and ran behind Lie Feng to avoid the wind. "Leader sister, is it far from here to that frozen canyon? How long does it take to walk?"
Last night, the leader of the third group promised to take her to find Xixi personally, which made her very excited.
The leader of the third group gathered his sleeves and sniffed, "Walk? The straight-line distance between the two places is not too far, but considering the thickness of the snow, the resting place and other factors, it will take about two days to walk."
Fu Fu's steps became stiff.
After the excitement of seeing ice and snow for the first time yesterday, she has begun to experience the difficulty of moving in the ice and snow.
"Can't we just ride a pterosaur?" Fu Fu asked in a trembling voice.
Although this way of traveling left her with many not-so-good memories, it was better than walking in waist-deep snow on the snowfield for two days.
She would rather choose to be tossed around by the bad-tempered pterosaur.
"No." The leader of the third group refused decisively, "There are a lot of wind dragons living in the Frozen Canyon area. If you approach with a winter dragon, you will be easily attacked."
In fact, the main reason was that the wind in the air was too cold and she was unhappy.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Sleds are indispensable for long-distance travel in the Everfrost Land. Generally, snow deer are used. Bobo is more often used for transporting goods.
Of course, there are better options than this." The leader of the third group patted Liefeng's butt and said to Fu Fu with a smile: "No one is more suitable for pulling a sled than a toothhound."
"Woof!" Liefeng turned his head and roared, as if to say "Of course!".
"I've asked my colleagues at the Ecological Research Institute to help prepare the sleds and supplies necessary for snow operations. Let's go report to Commander Yuechen first, then have a good meal in the cafeteria, and then we'll set off."
Fu Fu nodded and went to the headquarters with the leader of the third group, where they met Commander Yue Chen, an uncle named Hunter (the leader of the investigation team).
The guy had a square face and spiky hair. Even in the cold weather, he had his chest exposed, showing off his well-developed pectoral muscles. He didn't seem like the leader of the stronghold, but more like a hunter with a bit of a bold mind.
Seeing Fu Fu, the uncle seemed relieved, "I received news from your father a long time ago, and knew that you arrived in Yuechen yesterday, but I didn't see you come all day.
If someone hadn't reported to me that you went to the Ecological Research Institute with the head of the delegation, I would have sent people to look for you everywhere."
Fu Fu apologized somewhat embarrassedly.
Before leaving, her father repeatedly reminded her that when she arrived in Yuechen, she should first report to the commander here and follow the latter's arrangements.
As a result, I was playing in the snow, eating a big meal, and soaking in the hot springs, and I forgot to clean up.
"Your room has been prepared for a long time. I will have someone take you there first."
"No need." The leader of the third group said with a smile: "Fu Fu can just live with me. We had a very happy chat last night."
Hunter looked at Fu Fu after hearing this, and Fu Fu nodded repeatedly, "I watched the stars with the leader sister last night!
Oh, yes, Commander, I want to go to the Frozen Canyon to give some things to Auntie Xixi, and I want to bring Sister Commander with me."
"Icy Canyon? I see. I'll arrange a hunter to be your guard."
"No need." The leader of the Third Regiment pointed backward with the pipe in his hand, "Liefeng will go with us."
Hunter glanced at the big dog that poked its head in the door and said with a smile, "Senior Anxier's hunting partner? I see. Be careful on the road and send a distress signal in time if you encounter danger."
Commander Yuechen was a man of decisive character. After he said these two sentences, he had completed the report. Then the two of them and the dog went to Grandma Cat's kitchen.
After the big meal, Grandma Cat gave Fu Fu a lot of food, including sausages and ham she made herself, large chunks of cheese, and crispy bread.
These things are easy to carry and high in calories. They can be eaten directly like dry food, and they are even more delicious when baked over a campfire.
Carrying the big bag of food, they finally returned to the Institute of Ecology.
The sled was ready, and necessary supplies such as cold-proof cloaks and snow boots were neatly stacked on it.
A middle-aged dragon man wearing glasses was sitting on a sled, conducting a final inspection.
Seeing that person, the leader of the third group showed obvious disdain on his face, "Why are you here too!"
The middle-aged man glanced at her and said, "You need others to prepare everything for you. You are so lazy. When will you be able to be more independent?"
The leader of the third group raised her eyebrows and walked towards the man angrily.
Fu Fu stood aside, not daring to speak. It was the first time she saw this lady like this.
The man seemed to not care at all, completely ignoring the leader of the third group who rushed over to argue with him, and introduced himself to Fu Fu with a smile.
"You should be Miss Fu Fu now? You still look like your childhood self. I am the leader of the research team of the investigation group and the current director of the Ecological Research Institute.
She is also the elder brother of this good-for-nothing. She is a troublesome person and must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Hello, I feel very cared for here." Faced with this polite greeting, Fu Fu subconsciously stood up straight and bowed in return.
Unlike the lazy leader of the third group, her brother gives people a sense of decisiveness and speaks faster than ordinary people.
"You guy! What are you doing sitting on our sled!" Seeing the two of them leaving him aside and picking him up, the leader of the third group's narrow eyes widened.
The research class leader restrained his smile and frowned as he looked at the one in front of him. "Whether it's the ecology of the Frozen Canyon, or the research on the special individual of the Wind Drifting Dragon, or the research on the symbiosis between Miss Vascular and the Moon-feathered Jellyfish, they are all projects that I am responsible for.
You are the one who got in the way, understand?"
The leader of the third group choked, what the other party said was true.
Before I could say anything in reply, the research class leader said, "Don't use the excuse that 'this trip is not for research, but just to accompany Miss Fu Fu'.
That's not what you said when you asked my men to prepare your sleds and supplies.
Even if we put aside these nominal things, how can you drive a sleigh when you are out of breath after carrying two books?"
The leader of the third group replied bravely: "The fierce wind is very smart. It doesn't need anyone to control it. It can pull well on its own!"
"Of course there's no problem in open areas, but what about areas with complex terrain? What about when you have to make a sharp turn to avoid a monster attack? If the driver on the sled doesn't know how to cooperate, the sled will flip over, you know?"
The seminar monitor's tone was a little harsh.
Liefeng also came over at this time and rubbed his big head against the man's arms. Of course he welcomed someone who could cooperate in driving the sled.
".Tsk."
The leader of the third group smacked his lips in an unbelievable manner and looked away.
Fu Fu shrank to the side, not daring to make a sound.
The number of fellow travelers increased in this way.
Seeing that his sister stopped talking back, the efficiency-conscious research class monitor stopped talking and continued to check the luggage and supplies, even the large package that Fu Fu brought. He soon found the large pile of books that Fu Fu had brought with great effort.
"What are these, literary works? And novels?"
Fu Fu said quickly, "These are the things my mother prepared for me to give to Auntie Qiqi to cheer her up! She said it was recommended by Miss Heta!"
"Impossible, how could Miss Qiqi, who is illiterate, have such a large dressing mirror? Not to mention that the Frozen Canyon is covered with smooth ice walls, so there is no need for a mirror.
Do you know that glass products like this that have not been specially treated will be frozen and cracked here?"
“?” Fu Fu began to feel something was wrong.
I recall the subtle expression on my dad's face when he checked my package for me before I left and discovered these books.
So I made a mistake when distributing the gifts? Are those books really for my dad?
Damn it! Why don't you take it away?
