The Gentleman's Agreement failed miserably and experienced a great test of human nature. Song Wenbin did not get the icebreaker he wanted, but he got three Huskies, three Samoyeds, and four Alaskans.
Although very reluctant, Song Wenbin accepted this fact.
After getting their respective vehicles, Chen Cheng from the Yellow River Station drove them to the polar training camp about 20 kilometers away from the scientific research station.
This is a snow-capped mountain and a famous ski resort. Song Wenbin and his colleagues met explorers and ski enthusiasts from all over the world here, as well as well-known domestic explorers and polar challengers. Enthusiasts, Fei Xuan and Wen Xu.
In the next month, the trio of Extraordinary Journeys followed Fei Xuan and Wen Xu and began their special polar training.
Every day, they spent in training, and their courses were different. Song Wenbin had to learn from scratch to control the sled, set up a tent, and learn various skills to survive in the polar environment and face various How to deal with emergencies.
Huo Yu needs to learn the maintenance and repair of snowmobiles, practice using shotguns, and how to drive away polar bears. Sutina needs to learn various skills in snow driving and measuring ice thickness, as well as various car repair techniques in frozen conditions.
During this period, their vehicles were also modified to varying degrees by professionals hired by the program team, especially Sutina’s tractor. The program team carried out all-round modifications on it, not only adding a differential engine, strengthened its suspension, and even changed its entire fuel system so that it could run on antifreeze diesel and aviation gasoline.
This made Song Wenbin a little unhappy. In his opinion, the box with urea hanging on it was the essence of the tractor, but the program team hung the sheep's head to sell dog meat. Now, those urea boxes are full of antifreeze diesel. and aviation gasoline.
In mid-August, the three of them ended their special polar training and reunited in the camp. Their coaches, Wen Xu and Fei Xuan, who had trained them for a month, brought them into a conference room and held a small closing meeting. Finally, remind them about polar exploration.
Fei Xuan said: "You have done well in this month's training, but I have to remind you of one thing. Something worthy of your attention."
"Is it a polar bear?" Huo Yu asked with interest.
Fei Xuan shook his head: "It is different from any of your challenges in the past. The polar challenge can be said to be one of the most difficult challenges for mankind. This difficulty often not only comes from the outside, but also the more difficult part comes from you." each other."
"Are we each other?" Song Wenbin was surprised.
"Yes, due to the drastic changes in climate, the environment inside the Arctic has become extremely extreme and complex, far more difficult than when we once explored it. None of us knows how long it will take you to make this journey, in a long period of low temperature and monotonous environment Under the stimulation, people can easily become..." Fei Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let me put it bluntly, people can become very perverted."
"abnormal……"
Sutina covered her mouth, a little worried.
"Yes, Wen Xu and I are best friends."
Fei Xuan said: "We have challenged many harsh environments and overcome many difficulties together, but the polar expedition is the most severe challenge we have ever encountered. During the Arctic hiking expedition ten years ago, When we were about 50 kilometers away from the pole, I clearly remembered that I could no longer endure the endless cold and the vast white wilderness. What I couldn't stand even more was Wen Xu's nagging. I didn't want to hear even a word of it. In fact, I wanted to kill him with an axe."
Song Wenbin took a breath of air: "It's true."
"It's true. In the polar regions, any tiny gap between humans will be magnified exponentially."
Fei Xuan said: "I used to just dislike my mother-in-law Wen Xu, but that time I not only wanted to chop him to death, but even cut him into pieces and watched his blood splatter on the white snow. This is what I felt like at that time The only thought is even completely uncontrollable." Fei Xuan said chilling words in a calm tone.
"I still remember the look in his eyes at that time. It was very scary." Wen Xu replied with a sigh, with some kind of worry in his tone: "In the end, I left him alone and went to the extreme with him separately. After returning to China, we Both of them also went to a psychological clinic for more than two months to recover."
Listening to the coach's words, Song Wenbin and Su Tina shuddered unconsciously, and they looked at Huo Yu subconsciously.
Huo Yu was stunned for a moment and said displeasedly: "What are you looking at me for? That's what you are looking at."
The two of them lowered their heads silently, not daring to speak.
Wen Xu warned: "Snowfields, long days, and eternal silent wind and snow are enough to drive any experienced adventurer into absolute madness. So, please take care of your hearts."
…
The coach's words cast a shadow over the course that should have ended easily, but the work had already progressed to this point, and there was no room for retreat.
Early the next morning, they packed their bags, left the training camp, and prepared to enter the Arctic Circle to officially start filming.
However, just as the three of them left the training camp, someone suddenly stopped Song Wenbin.
"Teacher Yan, can you wait a moment?"
Song Wenbin turned around and saw that it was the handsome man who had chatted with Jiang Lu at the Seal Company before and later sent Song Wenbin to the Yellow River Station in Oslo. At the moment, he was wearing a thick down jacket and standing in the camp with his hands in his pockets. Standing next to a pillar, he said to Huo Yu and Su Tina: "Excuse me, can you let me talk to Teacher Yan alone?"
Huo Yu and Su Tina looked at each other, somewhat confused.
These days, when the three of them were doing polar training, this man had been watching from a distance or close, neither participating nor communicating. They thought he was a staff member sent by the company to handle logistics, but they did not expect him. Will take the initiative to talk.
Song Wenbin quickly said: "You go take pictures first, I will be back soon."
"All right…"
Sutina muttered.
Huo Yu said nothing, but left with Sutina.
After Huo Yu and Su Tina left, the man reached out to Song Wenbin and said, "Hello, my name is Bai Shou."
"Suffering in vain?" Song Wenbin held the other party's hand, puzzled.
The man seemed to notice Song Wenbin's surprise, shook his head and smiled: "It's hunting, not other souls."
"Well, it's pretty cool, like a name in a game." Song Wenbin praised.
"Not really, someone else named it for me, and I didn't call it this before." Bai Shou said.
"Is that so? What was your previous name?" Song Wenbin let go and asked.
"Is it important, Teacher Yan?" Bai Shou said with a smile: "I think Teacher Yan is also very cool, cooler than Song Wenbin, catchy and impressive, right?"
Song Wenbin was startled, frowned at the man in front of him, and asked, "Are you also from the SEAL Company?"
"I'm not." Bai Shou said, "I am your investor and secretary."
"this…"
Thinking of the investor he had never met before, Song Wenbin was a little confused, "Are you here on behalf of the investor? Does the investor want to say something to me?"
"Not really." Bai Shou said, "I'm here for business, but I also have some small selfish motives."
"Selfish?"
"Not bad." Bai Shou spread his hands and said, "Actually, I came here to remind you."
"I'm all ears." Song Wenbin said.
Bai Shou asked, "Have you heard of the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai? Or the story of Romeo and Juliet?"
"Yes, of course."
Song Wenbin thought that even if he had never read any books, this kind of thing would probably exist in his brain like DNA.
"So, Yan. Have you ever heard of something called meta-story?"
"I've never heard of this."
Baikari said: "That is to say, the same story model is repeatedly performed in different time and space. Although the protagonist, the background of the story and even the supporting characters have all changed, the core of the story has not changed at all."
Song Wenbin thought for a while and asked: "How did Dayu control the floods?"
"Bingo, Teacher Yan is very smart. It's a pleasure to communicate with smart people."
Song Wenbin smiled and was a little confused. What on earth did this guy do? Why did he tell him such nonsense.
Bai Shou stopped laughing and said seriously: "Due to work reasons, I have been able to get in touch with some high-level people, including some of the top leaders of your Seal Company."
"Hmm." Song Wenbin's ears suddenly pricked up. It was about work, and he became very sensitive.
"How do you say that?" he asked seriously.
"During a chat with your senior SEALs, I learned that you were selected for this program because you didn't have any sexual intercourse with women, right?"
"Of course I know this."
Song Wenbin was speechless. He already knew about this during the interview a year ago.
"Although the investors of your show have changed now, this rule is still true today." Bai Shou sighed with regret, and said: "It's cruel to say this, but it is also true forever, just like, that Yuan Same story.”
Song Wenbin was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, I just came here to remind you in kind. After all, my boss and I both like your show and hope you can continue doing it."
Song Wenbin thought for a moment, frowned and said, "You mean... I'm too close to the female host on the show?"
"How you understand that is your business."
Bai Shou said softly, "I'm just reminding you of this matter. After all, our boss will definitely not lose money."
Song Wenbin looked at him, nodded slowly, and said seriously: "I understand."
"I wish you a pleasant journey." Baikari said softly.
"I wish you a happy life."
Teacher Yan said.
