Chapter 369 King John Island
"Let's go to this place first tomorrow morning." After dinner, Liang En and the others gathered in the conference room to discuss the search target. Soon, Liang En finalized a cape deep into the ocean in the north of the island.
"If you combine the most likely voyage route of the expedition ship, I judge that the landing point of the other party is likely to be on this cape." He pointed to the map and said to everyone.
"Fortunately, there is an open space next to this suspicious point where the helicopter can land, so if there is no accident, we can complete the search in only one or two hours."
"You're right, so everyone should go to bed early tonight, and leave when the sun comes out tomorrow morning." Mr. Scudder looked at the map and thought for a while, and finally decided, "I hope everything will go well tomorrow."
After breakfast the next morning, Liang En, Joan of Arc, Fan Meng, the photographer, Skoder and his bodyguard took the helicopter and flew straight to the destination more than 30 kilometers away from them.
Today is a sunny and sunny day, so the helicopter can naturally advance smoothly in the air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone sorted out the guns while listening to Fan Meng's arrangements for the next action.
"There may be polar bear activities in this area. Although Liang En's ravens will take off to provide vigilance after we get off the plane, everyone must not relax their vigilance." Looking at the cage next to him, Fan Meng said seriously to everyone.
"So when we take action for a while, at least two people are required. At the same time, all firearms on the road must be ready to shoot. Also, once you see a polar bear approaching, immediately warn, and if the other party has an attack tendency, shoot immediately."
"Understood." Everyone nodded to show that they understood, and then checked their T81SA semi-automatic rifles, which is the semi-automatic version of Huaxia Type 81 automatic rifles.
Fortunately, although Canada has become a Canadian marijuana in this world, the restrictions on guns can still be relaxed. For example, these guns can legally use ten rounds of magazines instead of the cheating five rounds.
This is very important to Liang En and the others now, because they are now facing huge and dangerous creatures like polar bears, so they naturally need stronger firepower to stay safe.
The helicopter whizzed over the calm sea, and after only ten minutes, they arrived at the previously selected target location and landed the plane.
This place is about 600 meters away from the target location, separated by a bumpy hill. Although we didn't see any dangerous animals appearing on our bodies just now, we still remained very vigilant.
As soon as he got out of the rotating range of the helicopter's propeller, Liang En opened the cage and let his raven fly. As soon as the helicopter left, several people with hands and feet numb from the cold walked towards the target with their weapons. .
Although the ground temperature is now five or six degrees, it is not particularly cold.But because the helicopter didn't close the sliding door just now for safety and convenience of observation, the result was that it blew all the way, making everyone feel that all the exposed parts of the clothes were numb from the cold.
Although there were some ups and downs on the ground from the sky, it was still flat on the whole, but when they actually stepped on the ground with their feet, they found that the ground of this place was densely covered with gravel and many small pits.
As soon as they walked a distance of more than ten meters, they saw Mr. Scudder staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the bodyguard next to him supported him quickly.
After noticing the situation here, Liang En and the others immediately turned their heads and looked over, only to find that Scudder must have accidentally stepped on a moving stone, and his foot slipped and almost knocked his knee on a stone.
"How did you say that the expedition team passed such a road at that time?" When Liang En came to the side of Skold, he saw him walking forward with a trekking pole, while turning his face to ask himself. road.
"They should have been simpler than us back then." Liang En said looking at the surrounding terrain. "Until the 60s, this place was supposed to be under ice and snow this season, so the expedition team could have taken parts from the ship to make a sled."
"That's right, I forgot this." After being reminded by Liang En, Scudder immediately reacted. "So I think that the fact that those things were not discovered before is probably related to the original ice and snow cover."
"That's right." Liang En nodded and said, "Although we saw traces of humans clearly on our helicopters before, those searchers back then didn't have planes, and they basically didn't find any traces across the 5 or 6 kilometers of ice. .”
Although Liang En and the others have found many valuable clues after arriving here, this does not mean that they are better than those explorers in the past, but it is purely because of the melting of ice and snow caused by global warming, revealing many previously hidden thing.
Because everyone was worried about accidentally stepping on the pit or spraining their feet due to unstable stones, they subconsciously looked at the ground every time they walked, and for this reason, they found something.
"I found an interesting thing." Just as everyone was moving towards the destination together, Joan suddenly bent down and filled out something and raised it above her head, and shouted to everyone.
"Let me have a look." Liang En walked over and took the bauble covered in brown rust, and held it up in front of his eyes for a closer look.
He rubbed it vigorously with his gloved fingers, and after removing part of the rust, he found that it should be the blade of a pocket knife, but the lower part that was originally fixed to the handle was broken.
Because the shape of this small knife is so common, Liang En couldn't figure out what it was, but almost everyone present felt that it was a good item to keep.
After all, this place is far away from human settlements, so there are not many possible owners of the blades that can be clearly seen as industrial products, and the expedition team is the most likely.
After putting away this small piece of blade, everyone continued to walk forward. As they moved forward, more objects related to human activities appeared on the ground, such as nails, painted wood and even remnants of woolen textiles.
And this piece of textile, which is not as big as a palm, quickly became the focus of everyone's attention, because after connecting with Pierce, Pierce analyzed the pattern of the textile in the photo and analyzed that it was a kind of machine-woven canvas in England in the middle of the 19th century.
"It seems that we have indeed found the right place." Liang En sighed, while the others nodded.Although everyone felt that they should have found their goal before they came, this canvas gave everyone a reassurance.
Although everyone does not know what can be found in this ruin for the time being, at least they can be sure that the target they are going to now is indeed related to the expedition team.
Thinking of this, the mood that was a little depressed because of the bad road conditions before suddenly cheered up, and then several people walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Fortunately, this distance is only 600 meters from the plane, even if they have to circle on the ground, it will not exceed one kilometer, so they finally arrived at the previously calibrated destination in about 40 minutes.
