After smiling for ten minutes, Huo Yu slowed down the speed of his motorcycle, approached Song Wenbin's sled, and asked sideways, "Do you want to eat something delicious?"

Song Wenbin was just thinking about something when he suddenly heard Huo Yu's uncharacteristically soft tone. He raised his head inexplicably and asked, "What's delicious in the Arctic?"

"I had never heard of it, but I met a Chinese at the Yellow River Station. He told me that there is a kind of delicious food at the northernmost point of the island." Huo Yu asked with great interest: "Do you want to try it? "

"What delicious food? It can't be seals..."

Song Wenbin was speechless, "I don't want to eat that stuff..."

"Seal? What's so delicious about that thing?"

Huo Yu thought for a moment and said, "The ones in Fatdudu should all be fat."

"The Inuit people are good at this."

Song Wenbin said.

Indeed, during these days of training, Song Wenbin also heard that the locals loved eating high-fat food.

"This is the 21st century, and the Inuit people must also keep pace with the times, Teacher Yan." Huo Yu said with a smile.

"What is that?" Song Wenbin became curious.

Huo Yu took out a business card from his pocket and said, "This was given to me by a guy I met at Yellow River Station. He said that we only need to go to the northernmost part of the island and make a phone call."

The northernmost one.

Song Wenbin thought to himself that it would take more than ten hours.

Now that there are no obstacles around, dog sleds and snowmobiles can cover a hundred kilometers in ten hours.

However, after adding rollers, Sutina's tractor may only be a little faster than walking. If they ran to the far north, wouldn't Sutina be completely lost?

"It's weirdly cold."

Song Wenbin curled up on the sled and said: "You walk slower, you don't wear a helmet, you are not cold."

"Hehe, I'm not as weak as you~"

Huo Yu said: "Let me tell you, even if your Siberian mistress comes over, she may not be as comfortable as me. Before you met her, you were wearing a helmet from beginning to end."

Song Wenbin almost spat a mouthful of blood on Huo Yu's face.

He said loudly: "Damn my concubine, don't talk nonsense! It's all about filming a show, it's all about work, can you please stop throwing dirty water on me!"

"

"Hahahaha~"

Huo Yu's unbridled laughter echoed in the wasteland.





On the other side, inside the tractor, Sutina felt lonely after her two colleagues left. Although after adding the ice crushing kit, this car became full of fighting spirit, its speed also became extremely slow due to the increase in weight.

Originally, this car could run about 30 kilometers in an hour, which was not fast but not slow either. But now, even if the accelerator is pressed to the bottom, it can only run 18 kilometers.

Coupled with the vast, endless white wasteland outside the car, Sutina felt as if she had really turned into a turtle, rubbing slowly on the ice.

What annoyed her even more was the sound of the tractor. After adding the ice crushing kit, the tractor always made a buzzing vibration sound. The sound sounded interesting and powerful at first.

But just like people can't always be in the second grade, once that period of time has passed, the things that once made her blood boil will only become more boring. In the Arctic wilderness, this transformation process is shortened to just one hour.

"I can't take it anymore!"

Sutina pressed the button and said loudly: "Stop shaking! There's no ice here for you to break, just run!"

But I don’t know what’s wrong with this damn machine. The ice crushing kit keeps humming and won’t stop unless the vehicle is turned off.

"So annoying, so annoying."

Sutina sat in the car and asked with a walkie-talkie: "Hey, where are you now!?"

But the two colleagues still didn't reply to her. Apparently they were beyond the communication range.

She took out her phone again and tried to send them a message. But after taking out the phone, there was no signal at all. This is the Arctic Circle. Except for a few places, the rest of the place is a complete wilderness.

Sutina felt aggrieved. She put down her phone and shouted at the camera: "How could these two people do this? It's too bad to burn bridges by crossing the river! It's obvious that I'm the one who paid, and it's obvious that I sacrificed my speed in exchange for it." After passing through the frozen bush, I didn't expect that they left on their own as soon as they came out, without waiting for me at all! They even left me here alone!"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, her eyes turned red and she began to twitch.

But in this arctic wilderness, no one saw her and no one knew about it. After pumping for a while, she felt tired, took a deep breath, and said bitterly: "Just wait for me. If you run into trouble again, beg me and I won't help you clear the way!"





It was approaching eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still bright.

After a long journey, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu stopped at the foot of a majestic mountain peak. The temperature here had dropped even lower, reaching minus twelve degrees.

Here, Song Wenbin took out the map given to him by the camp coach and looked at the surrounding scenery.

After looking at it, I felt that I had almost reached the northernmost tip of the Spielbergen Islands, because the map showed a mountain here.

But he wasn't sure if it was the one in front of him. After all, he had never been to this place before, and there were no roads or navigation in places like the North Pole.

He was sure that Yin Sabella knew, because she looked very determined when running, but Yin Sabella couldn't speak.

After looking around, Song Wenbin couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure this is here?"

"nopo."

Huo Yu said, she was sitting on the motorcycle, holding a black square in her hand and looking at it non-stop.

It’s different from Song Wenbin’s retro style. She also carries an advanced maritime navigation system for determining direction. After watching for a while, she took out a telescope from her waist and looked around.

After taking a look, Huo Yu put the telescope in Song Wenbin's hand, pointed in a direction and said, "Look!"

Song Wenbin picked up the telescope and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a black dot on the ice in the distance. Judging from the shape, it should be a black cabin.

"There are people living here?" Song Wenbin asked in shock.

"What do you think?" Huo Yu said proudly, "Besides, you have no idea what they are doing here."

"Okay." Song Wenbin said: "It's still a secret."

Ten minutes later, they arrived near the black wooden house. It looked small from a distance, but when they got closer, they found that the house was quite big, and there were wide tire tracks on the snow. It seems like there are cars coming often.

Here, Song Wenbin's mobile phone finally received a signal. There was a satellite base station set up next to the wooden house, and there was a stove next to the base station, but there was no fire in the stove.

Song Wenbin left and got off the sled. He looked around and found no one. He only saw a lot of furniture in the house and an elegantly decorated glass restaurant, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Damn it? Are you really going to open a restaurant in a place like this?

You may not be able to entertain a few guests in a hundred years...

Huo Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number at the base station. After a few simple exchanges, she put down her phone and said, "Someone will be here soon."

Sure enough, after a while, two men riding snowmobiles came up on the ice. They took several dogs with them, and they were dragging sleds behind the motorcycles.

The two came to Song Wenbin and took off their helmets. One of them was a typical Asian, with a square face and big ears, wearing glasses, and looked gentle. The other one has a Norwegian appearance, with a big hooked nose, thin lips, very thin, and a bit hunched back.

The Asian was very happy to see Huo Yu and said, "Ms. Huo, I didn't expect you to really come here. You are so brilliant."

"Bring my colleague here to eat something good." Huo Yu pointed at Song Wenbin and said with a smile: "Help him warm his stomach. If he dies in the North Pole, it will be a meal for him."

"Can you be more fucking lucky!?" Song Wenbin asked angrily.

"Hahahahaha~"

The man laughed. He smiled at Song Wenbin and stretched out his hand, saying, "Teacher Yan, I've heard of you for a long time. My name is Shao Feng. I didn't see you when I went to the base last time. I'm sorry."

"You are chinese."

Song Wenbin shook hands with him in surprise.

"He is a Chinese from Norway. This is my Norwegian partner. Adnor Sweet." Shao Feng and Song Wenbin introduced the thin man with a hooked nose next to him.

When Song Wenbin shook hands with the Norwegian, he seemed a little embarrassed.

After some simple greetings, Shao Feng said with a smile: "Last time I went to the Yellow River Station to meet friends, I met Ms. Huo and gave her a business card. I was wondering if I could use your program to advertise. I I thought you might not come, but I didn’t expect you actually came.”

Really or not, they are using our program to advertise.

Song Wenbin looked around. It didn't look like there was a company or any products. It was all white except for snow.

He couldn't help but ask: "What...are you doing here."

"Hahaha, didn't Ms. Huo tell you?" Shao Feng asked.

Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu. Huo Yu shook his head and said, "I also want to see it."

Shao Feng said: "Follow me, you will know soon."

As he spoke, he got back on his snowmobile. Song Wenbin didn't want to ride on the sled and wanted to let the dogs rest for a while, so he got on the back seat of Huo Yu's snowmobile.

Shao Feng and his partner rode snowmobiles on the ice field for about five minutes and arrived at a nearby fjord.

Here, Song Wenbin saw many holes dug out on the ice. In each ice hole, there was an iron drill with something tied to it.

Shao Feng stopped the snowmobile, walked to an ice cave, and said to Song Wenbin: "If Teacher Yan wants to see, you can help us pull him up together."

Song Wenbin stepped forward and held the iron drill together with Shao Feng. The three of them pulled out a full fishing net from under the ice. There were actually more than a dozen huge arthropods in the fishing net. Under the cold wind and ice, There was a creaking sound on the surface.

"King crab!"

Song Wenbin shouted in shock.

"Actually, it's not called king crab here, it's called Kamchatka stone crab here." Shao Feng said, "We have been farming here for many years."

Good guy!

Song Wenbin looked at the vast snowfield around him. It was so desolate that there was no life at all, but he never expected that this place was actually a king crab breeding farm. Is it true that Chinese people can make money wherever they go?

Shao Feng explained to him: "The sea water here is not deep, and there is a natural fjord, which is very suitable for the growth of king crabs. In the early years, many people here introduced king crabs and raised them here. But after so many years , there are not many people who persist, and I am one of the few."

Shao Feng said proudly: "Come here today, do you want to taste it? If you can see my crabs on the extraordinary journey, they will be very long-looking!"

"Can it be eaten?" Song Wenbin looked at the squeaking king crab in the fishing net and swallowed his saliva. This thing can be sold for thousands of dollars fresh in China. It is the top ingredient. If you don't want it, you are not greedy. Fake.

"Of course, isn't this stuff just for food?"

Shao Feng said: "If you want to eat it, we will drag this bag away immediately and steam it in the house. I have a dining table, a steam oven, seasonings, and everything."

"Is this... going to be very expensive...?"

Song Wenbin was a little hesitant. This bag of more than ten pieces would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan. Although he made some money this year, he was determined not to spend tens of thousands just for a meal.

He looked at Huo Yu, hoping to seek her opinion. But after meeting these people, Huo Yu was basically speechless and remained silent with an indifferent smile.

"Expensive?" Shao Feng burst out laughing.

He said: "It must be very expensive to transport these things back to China, but here, they are basically an invasive species that can't be eaten no matter how much they are eaten."

"Really?" Song Wenbin was shocked.

"Really." Shao Feng shrugged, "It's probably like when you go to a domestic crayfish breeding base to catch a dozen crayfish. How can I charge you money? Don't worry, let alone a dozen. Even if you eat a hundred of them, I won’t charge you, as long as you can eat them.”

free? Song Wenbin was stunned, "Really? You can really eat this for free."

"Don't worry, Teacher Yan is actually not rare at all. Twenty years ago, my partner and I dropped 10,000 of them when we came here, and now there are more than 5 million."

Shao Feng pointed to the ice sheet at his feet and said: "This is just the number of our one farm. In fact, because of concerns about the extinction of native species due to rapid reproduction, the local government uses icebreakers to carry out large-scale fishing here every year before entering the polar night. , after fishing, they are sent to all over the world via Norway.”

After a pause, Shao Feng said: "You guys came quite early this year. In another month, there will be many people here."

"Five million?" Song Wenbin took a breath of air.

"Really, this thing reproduces very quickly and eats everything. After being fished out, it will appear again the next year. It's so fast that you can't even imagine."

"Holy shit..."

Thinking of the price of king crab in China, Song Wenbin couldn't help but asked with envy: "Then you can make a lot."

"Everything has a price, Teacher Yan. Everything has a price."

Shao Feng said: "I have to stay in the North Pole for half a year every year. I can't see my wife and children. I drool when I see a female reindeer. Speaking of which, I still envy you!"

He patted Song Wenbin on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Wherever I go, I will be accompanied by beautiful women."

Song Wenbin:......

As he said this, Shao Feng thought of something and asked, "By the way, I remember there were three people on your show, and there's another one."
