The next morning, when Song Wenbin left the camp, the temperature was even lower, not only in the extreme northern wilderness where it dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius in reality, but also in the slightly cold atmosphere within the team.

Song Wenbin originally thought that Su Tina was exhausted after driving all day, so she felt unhappy, and would go to talk to Huo Yu again after she woke up.

But this time his judgment was wrong.

Ever since that meal, Sutina, who had never been idle, suddenly became taciturn. She said nothing all day long, just silently repairing her Dongfanghong roller in the snow with the team's mechanics.

Huo Yu looked as usual, as if nothing had happened. Instead, he offered advice and helped hand over tools while Sutina was repairing the tractor.

Sutina also seemed very polite. Every time Huo Yu handed her tools, she would say thank you.

But she just said thank you. In front of the camera, she always maintained a certain official fake smile with Huo Yu. Song Wenbin had seen that fake smile on her many times, but this was the first time he had seen her use it on a colleague.

What's even more outrageous is if Huo Yu has any requirements for her. Whether it was to boil hot water, close the tent, or come over to eat together, she would obey politely, but her answer would never exceed three words.

Um. ah. OK knew.

Song Wenbin has never seen these two girls in such a situation. Although there were disputes between them in the Caribbean, the fight was very straightforward and noisy. Song Wenbin also knew that What are they arguing about?

But this time was different from any other time. A trace of depression hung over the small team, but Song Wenbin didn't know where this depression came from, which made him at a loss.

To be honest, he was a little confused and a little confused. It was obviously fine before going on the road, but why has it changed now?

After repairing the car and saying goodbye to Shao Feng, the enthusiastic farm owner, the three of them set out again to reach the Pole.

After the outsiders disappeared, the atmosphere became even weirder. Along the way, Huo Yu rode a snowmobile and followed the people from the program group at the front without saying a word. She didn't speak. Sutina didn't say anything either. Tuntun walked at the back. Both fell silent.

Song Wenbin didn't know what was going on, but he was sitting in the middle of the dog sled and felt a little uncomfortable. He had a feeling that it was not good to talk to anyone. He could only hug Yin Sabella silently, seeking warmth from her furry body.

After leaving the land and entering the ice cap, no one from the program team dared to drive too fast. After all, there was no land from here to the pole, and there were only melting ice caps.

Every time they advance a short section, the three of them have to come down to check the thickness of the ice surface, and then make an assessment of the thickness of the ice surface before they dare to move forward.

Only then can brief communication between the three of them take place.

"The ice here is four meters thick, you can continue moving forward." Huo Yu said to Song Wenbin and Su Tina.

Sutina: "Oh."

"There is a crack here. You can't walk. Please be careful." Huo Yu said in front of a crack in the ice.

Sutina: "Oh."

In front of another footprint, Huo Yu said: "There are polar bears around here, we need to stay closer."

Sutina: "Oh."

Song Wenbin couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you two?"

"Ah? What's wrong?" Huo Yu asked.

"Nothing." Sutina replied.

"I think you guys are weird." Song Wenbin said.

"It's weird. Am I quite normal? What's wrong?" Huo Yu asked.

"It's not strange." Sutina said, still using the three-word motto.

Song Wenbin:......

After asking a few questions, he stopped asking. As we all know, women are extremely complex creatures, even more complex than the earth's climate system. Song Wenbin didn't want to care about this nonsense between girls. He couldn't explain it clearly, and his attitude was very strange. He might as well be comfortable with his own dog.

On this day, the three of them slowly advanced 70 to 80 kilometers on the ice cap without encountering many obstacles. The next day, they continued to move forward.

Huo Yu and Sutina still maintain that weird, awkward, and distant relationship, as if they are having an incomprehensible internal competition in the air.

At noon, the film crew and the three of them came to a rugged ice sheet. The thickness of the ice here was visibly thinner than in other places.

The reason is that the Arctic glaciers have split and melted due to global warming. Although it is now autumn and the temperature has dropped below zero, some places have not been frozen for a short time and cannot form solid ice several meters thick.

The area is obviously the place where summer broke off. The towering glaciers on both sides are like hills. Not far from where the program crew's car stopped, there is the newly solidified ice cap. It shows a slight bluish color. In some places You can even see the Arctic Ocean below.

Song Wenbin was very nervous when he came here. Although this show is positioned as an entertainment show, the dangers faced are real. It can be said that if you are not careful in this kind of place, you will be completely destroyed.

He stopped next to Huo Yu and asked, "How thick is it here?"

"One meter three."

Huo Yu said.

One meter and three meters. Song Wenbin thought that this would be considered an extraordinary thickness in other places, but in the Arctic, this thickness is already very thin. After all, in many places they visited, the thickness of the ice layer was more than ten meters. of.

With such thickness, he didn't dare let the members of the film crew go there rashly, because their cars were all heavy off-road vehicles with a lot of mass, and it would be very difficult to rescue them in the event of an accident.

Sutina from behind also followed at this time. She got out of the car and came to the newly frozen ice. She crossed her arms and stared at the ice without saying anything.

Huo Yu said: "Wait a minute, the ice is very thin, it will be very dangerous for your car to go over hastily."

"Oh." Sutina said.

Huo Yu saw that she still looked disheveled, rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Song Wenbin said: "My sled is the lightest. I will explore around here to see if I can find a thicker ice surface to drive through. You guys wait for me here."

"I'll go with you." Huo Yu said.

"It's not good. The snowmobile still has weight. If it encounters that kind of super thin ice, it will be very troublesome. Let's leave it to the dog. Yin Sabella has been here many times." Song Wenbin suggested.

"Are you stupid? Don't you have two seats on your sled?" Huo Yu said, "You can sit in the front and I can stand in the back."

Song Wenbin thought that this was indeed the case, so he looked at Su Tina and wanted her to wait where she was.

"I'll go too." But Sutina said coldly.

Still three words, but three different words.

"Ah?" Huo Yu frowned.

"I'll go too." Sutina repeated.

"You...you can't go. Your car is too heavy. I'm just trying to find a way for you." Song Wenbin was also confused.

Su Tina walked to Song Wenbin's sled, took out two skis from it, bent down and tied them to her feet, and said stubbornly: "I want to go."

Huo Yu crossed his arms and tilted his head.

"Go! Go! Go."

Song Wenbin quickly raised his hand, interrupting any possibility of argument: "Let's go together, just go together, no one is allowed to talk, and we can measure it with peace of mind."

After making the decision, Song Wenbin untied the heavy supplies behind the sled and brought only the sled frame. He sat in the sled, Huo Yu stood behind the sled, and Su Tina pulled the sled on the skis. The three of them embarked on the measurement together. A dangerous journey through the thickness of the ice.

But along the way.

Song Wenbin was silent.

Sutina was silent.

Huo Yu was silent.

Damn it!

!

Song Wenbin yelled crazily in his heart, what the hell is he doing!

!

After the dog pulled the three people on the ice for more than ten minutes, Song Wenbin couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of the severe cold, he stopped the sled, struggled to get up, walked to the two people behind the sled, and asked: "I Are you saying that you two are in a cold war?"

The two were surprised.

Huo Yu said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Aren't you not allowed to speak?"

"Don't think of me as a fool!"

Song Wenbin yelled and warned: "I will say ugly things first. This is the North Pole, a very dangerous North Pole. You have heard what the coach said. We must take good care of each other's relationship."

"There is no cold war, you are overthinking."

Huo Yu said: "Xiao Bichi is very tired from driving, and I am also very tired from riding a bicycle. You can't expect us to still talk and laugh when we are so cold and tired. It can't be done."

Song Wenbin was speechless for a moment, looked at Sutina, and asked, "Is this really the case?"

"Yes." Sutina said calmly.

"No Cold War?"

"No."

Sutina said.

"I want to hear an answer of more than three words." Song Wenbin said sternly.

Sutina couldn't help but smile, pushed Song Wenbin, and whispered: "You are sick!"

Song Wenbin saw that her smile was like the spring breeze thawing the frost, so he nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. Don't worry about anything."

As he said that, he looked at Huo Yu and saw Huo Yu throwing the sonar in her hand. She crossed her arms and said coldly: "It seems you are not tired at all. In this case, I will leave the rest of the exploration to you." is you."

"It's easy to talk about."

Song Wenbin held the sonar and said with a smile.

There seemed to be no gap between the two colleagues, which made him very happy. He touched Yin Sabella's head and said, "Baby, I leave it to you, help me find a way out."

Yin Sabella glanced at him sideways and whimpered.

Jump out of the car seat.

Smell here and there on the ice sheet.

Then, it chose a direction and started running.

The sleigh moved on.

Didn't go far.

Yin Sabella suddenly stopped.

Song Wenbin came to Sabella Yin and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Yin Sabella tapped the ice with her paw.

Bark.

Song Wenbin took the sonar and tested it. Sure enough, the thickness of the ice here dropped to less than one meter. It is very dangerous to drive under such ice.

"It's a really good dog, thank you."

Song Wenbin caressed Yin Sabella's head and said, "It seems that we can't go this way. Please help me find another way."

So Yinsabella sniffed on the ice again. After sniffing for a while, she took the sled dogs and ran in the other direction.

Didn't run far.

Woof!

She called again.

Song Wenbin bent down and took a look with the detector. Ho! The ice was three meters thick and it was safe to drive on. He was overjoyed. He hugged Yin Sabella and rewarded her with a small piece of dried fish. He rubbed her ears and kissed her on the forehead and said, "You are really perfect." The best dog in the Arctic, awesome!

"

At the training camp, the trainer gave Song Wenbin only two dog training methods, a whip and rewards. The rewards naturally included dried small fish and verbal praise. Compared with those harsh whips, Song Wenbin was more accustomed to the latter.

It's just that his reward actions were a bit unsightly to others. Huo Yu looked at him with disgust and disgust, while Sutina looked a little worried.

However, Sabella Yin was not interested in Song Wenbin's dried fish at all this time. She directly took the dried fish into her mouth and spit it out. He ran to the side and sniffed.

Song Wenbin thought she was obsessed with work and quickly followed her on the sled.

The more Yin Sabella ran, the more excited she became. She arched her back and unconsciously drooped her tail, like a white wolf on the snow. A group of sled dogs also ran wildly behind her.

After a while, Song Wenbin noticed something was wrong, because as Yin Sabella ran, the ice under him turned blue visibly to the naked eye, and there were cracks everywhere.

You could even see flowing sea water in the crack. Song Wenbin was alert and quickly stopped the sled.

He hurriedly came to Yin Sabella and asked: "That's not right, Yin Sabella. The ice here is only half a meter thick. Why did you bring me here?"

What made him feel strange was that Yin Sabella became quiet, and the dogs that had been noisy for a moment quieted down. They stood by the broken ice, sticking out their tongues, sniffing the air. The sound of wind.

Song Wenbin had never seen this look on Yin Sabella's face. It was extremely focused and eager. Due to her excessive concentration, her whole dog looked like a sculpture in the North Pole.

"Did you...find anything?" Song Wenbin asked softly.

Woof!

Sabella Yin suddenly showed her fierce attitude, which shocked Song Wenbin.

She suddenly started running wildly, her movements as fast as lightning. The other sled dogs also accelerated wildly after this order.

In order to detect the thickness of the ice, Song Wenbin put down all the supplies to make the sled very light. Now the ten dogs accelerated wildly, causing the speed of the sled to reach more than 30 kilometers per hour in an instant. Song Wenbin could not stand up and was rushed away. The sled hit the ground, rolled to the ground unprepared, rolled several times, and fell into an ice crevasse on the side.

"Brother Song!?"

Sutina screamed.

She let go of the rope pulling the sled, rolled over and grabbed Song Wenbin's arm.

Huo Yu on the side also jumped down, rushed to Song Wenbin, and pulled him out by his neck.

To be honest, Song Wenbin felt almost nothing until this moment. He didn't know why his dog suddenly ran away like crazy. These guys were obviously very well-behaved all the way...

He didn't realize he had fallen into the icy water until he felt a biting chill in his lower limbs.
