Song Wenbin sat blankly on the snow, dumbfounded as he watched Huo Yu leave.
Worry, uneasiness, confusion, and all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart at once, making him almost unable to breathe.
Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly got up from the ground. He hurriedly came to the Hilux of the film crew and knocked on the car door.
After a while, director Paulie opened the door and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing, asking you to come up with some rules and regulations and let us do what we want!" Song Wenbin yelled and went back. Now that everyone has run away, you can do what you want!
Pauly had never seen Song Wenbin so excited and fell silent.
Song Wenbin took a few breaths, looked at the Aboriginal man with obvious Inuit appearance sitting in the passenger seat of the car, and said to the director: "You guys, go after Huo Yu immediately, stay with her, and keep in touch at any time. , her mind is not clear now, don’t let her run around, follow her closely!”
Paulie nodded and retreated into the car. Then, Hilux's headlights came on and he drove forward, following the ruts left by Huo Yu.
After watching Baoli chase Huo Yu, Song Wenbin's nervous heart calmed down a little. But when he looked around, he felt huge confusion.
Due to the blizzard, it was almost impossible to see anything around except white or white. In this environment, there was almost no difference between white and black.
The extreme northern wilderness amplified people's emotions, making him feel boundless loneliness, which he had never experienced before. Perhaps the two girls had experienced this loneliness earlier, so they were so sensitive. He instinctively wanted to grab something to fight against this huge loneliness, but Huo Yu's departure suddenly threw him into a state of helplessness.
After a while, Song Wenbin realized that this was a show. He was in a reality show and the show asked him to go to the extreme.
But after awakening, he was even more confused.
Going to the extreme?
Why go to the pole?
Ji Ji has a very close relationship with him.
It has nothing to do with it. I just go to the extreme to make money. But why can I make money by going to the extreme? Song Wenbin thought about it and found out that it was because of boredom.
They go to extremes because they're fucking bored, they watch the show because they're bored, and they torture each other here because they're bored.
The thought of this made him feel very bored and exhausted. It was hard to imagine that just a thought made him feel as if he was worse than dead.
Dragging his confused and heavy body, he returned to the igloo. At this moment, Sutina was sitting in the corner with her arms folded, looking at him motionless, like a frightened rabbit.
Seeing him come in, she couldn't help but ask: "Where is Huo Yu?"
"Let's go." Song Wenbin said.
He sat down and didn't know what to do, what to think, what to show.
Sutina slowly spread her arms, walked over from the small snow house, and whispered against him: "I'm sorry, Brother Song, I didn't mean to quarrel with her..."
"Stop saying anything."
Song Wenbin said.
quarrel? Your quarrel has something to do with me. I just want to go to the extreme, complete the 50,000-month-long bullshit job, and fill up the hearts of modern people in a small way, without any emotion or distracting thoughts. If God blocks God, kill God, and if Buddha blocks Buddha, kill Buddha. This is exactly how misogynist me survives as a corporate dog.
There was a moment of silence.
Sutina asked softly: "Are you okay?"
"Um."
Song Wenbin answered in the most effortless way.
Good, bad, what does it matter about these things? He just needs to go to the extreme, no matter cold, tired or sad.
As long as we reach 90 degrees north latitude, our mission is complete. Then he can take that damn money, pay off the damn mortgage, and screw the rest.
Go to hell.
…
"Brother Song."
Sutina hesitated and said.
No one answered.
She carefully put her hand on Song Wenbin's arm and asked: "We... what should we do next?"
"Go to the extreme."
Song Wenbin said expressionlessly.
"Go to the extreme."
Sutina repeated.
"Go to the extreme." Song Wenbin repeated.
"Just going to the extreme?"
"Yes, go to the extreme." Song Wenbin said.
"Then Huo Yu..." she couldn't help but ask.
"Huo Yu goes to the extreme." Song Wenbin said mechanically.
"Brother Song, are you really okay?" Sutina asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Song Wenbin said.
Sutina:......
…
Early the next morning, the snowstorm that lasted for three full days finally stopped. When Song Wenbin and Su Tina left the snow house, they saw that half of the wheels of the Dongfanghong tractor were buried under the thick snow. .
Even the edge of the car door was frozen with thick ice and could not be opened at all. Song Wenbin took a shovel and shoveled for a long time before he shoveled the ice off the frozen car door.
But after entering the tractor again, he found that the tractor could not start. Due to continuous snowstorms, the tractor had been frozen in the air at minus 30 degrees Celsius for several days, and it could no longer start.
Fortunately, Song Wenbin already had experience in Siberia, and this was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing. In addition, director Baoli left here to pursue Huo Yu, so Song Wenbin easily borrowed it from photographer Wei Ning. Here comes the flamethrower.
After a day of heating by fire, the frozen engine finally restarted. Song Wenbin sat in Sutina's tractor again and drove with her towards 90 degrees north latitude.
After the brief but fierce quarrel in the snowstorm, Sutina seemed a little uneasy. She always tried to do something to Song Wenbin. She persuaded him to wear more clothes outside the car, asked him if he wanted a mat in the car, and asked him from time to time. If he wanted to drink water, he even asked if Song Wenbin was okay even when the car bumped, as if he belonged to Zhihu.
It seemed like doing these things made her feel better.
But Song Wenbin didn't care about what Su Tina did. He only had one thing in mind: going to the extreme, and he didn't want to think about the rest.
Everything is a task. If you encounter any obstacles, just solve them. Huo Yu will leave as long as it doesn't hinder him from going to the extreme. It doesn't matter to him.
On this day, the third day after they separated from Huo Yu, Song Wenbin and Su Tina arrived on the ice cap at 88 degrees north latitude, only two hundred kilometers away from the pole.
Here, the ice surface that had always been walkable suddenly changed. I don’t know why, but towering ancient ice blocks are like churches, standing quietly on the wasteland, intertwined. It's like a hundred Kimimaro have used Kusanagi Dance here.
Song Wenbin and Su Tina were a little confused when they saw the towering ice cubes while sitting in the car.
If they are here for sightseeing, they must praise the magnificence of this place at this moment, and maybe even take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
But now they must go through here to reach the pole. Such dangerous terrain makes both of them helpless.
"Brother Song, what should we do?"
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin and didn't know what to do.
Faced with Su Tina's question, Song Wenbin said nothing and jumped out of the car.
After walking to those ice pillars, he felt more clearly the huge size of these polar ice barriers.
If it were the kind of low frozen shrubs that existed before the Arctic ice cap came, maybe the rollers in front of this ice-breaking tractor could have passed it by just turning.
But with such tall ice and dense obstacles, the icebreaker would have to wait until the year of the Monkey to break through.
The photographers who were following them also came down. Wei Ning led several photographers to Song Wenbin and asked, "What... should we do?"
Unlike Bao Li, Wei Ning was very cooperative with Song Wenbin's actions. When filming with them, they would find ways to solve problems together instead of just leaving them to him.
Song Wenbin knocked on these ice pillars and said, "Is this the only way to go, or do we have to go through it recklessly?"
"I don't know." Weining gestured at the size of these ice barriers and said, "I don't think our car can get through it. If we force our way through, the chassis of the car will definitely be smashed."
In the Arctic, cars are equal to lives. The supplies and logistics of so many people depend on the fleet. Song Wenbin cannot let Weining take such risks.
Song Wenbin thought for a moment and said, "There must be more than one way here. If there is only this way, Huo Yu will definitely stop nearby, and she will not be able to pass these obstacles."
"That's right!" Weining said in surprise, "We just need to find the path Huo Yu took."
"Yes, she has those polar dogs to help her, and there is an indigenous guide in the director's car, so she will definitely be able to find the way."
After that, the group dispersed and searched around.
Sure enough, without looking far, Song Wenbin and members of the film crew found some dog feces and Hilux ruts on the ground. These feces and ruts extended and disappeared into the ice ahead along a rugged trail. middle.
Song Wenbin squatted down and pointed at the feces, looked at the camera and said seriously: "Huo Yu should have taken my dog in this direction. The feces should have been left a day ago, which means that we are not far apart at the moment. If If I can catch up with her, I still have a chance to reach the top before her."
Damn missions, fucking poles, stupid competitions. Song Wenbin thought to himself.
"But I hate..."
Weining carried the camera and said: "This road should be passable by dog sleds and snowmobiles, but it should be barely passable by off-road vehicles. But it is not realistic for your car to pass."
Song Wenbin looked back at the red beast parked in the snow and fell silent.
To say that they are not far from the pole now, if they go around from here, they don't know how long it will take. Moreover, in the polar regions, there is no such thing as a road. There are so many weird and bizarre obstacles, and there may not necessarily be no obstacles when going to other places.
At this time, Sutina also got out of the car and asked, "Is this the way Huo Yu can go? It seems that it is not easy for us to go."
Song Wenbin was still thinking of a solution normally, but when he saw Su Tina coming down, he immediately changed his face and said encouragingly: "If you work hard, you will always find a solution! We must not be pulled behind by Huo Yu!"
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was very puzzled by his struggling state.
But Song Wenbin didn't care. He walked straight to the ice-breaking truck, climbed on it, started the ice-breaking roller in front, and slammed his head on the thick ice with a rumble.
If you encounter obstacles, solve them. God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha. Then it is just a piece of ice. Naturally, it is not a problem.
…
one day.
Two days.
Three days.
Four days.
five days.
six days.
seven days.
…
For seven days, Song Wenbin and Sutina were like two never-ending robots, driving the icebreaker every day, fighting tirelessly against the ice day and night.
However, after seven full days, they had only advanced less than 20 kilometers through this crisscrossing ice. On average, we advance less than three kilometers per day, and we can only advance about 150 meters per hour.
This was almost unimaginable in their past travels. Even the most difficult roads they encountered in Africa, Siberia, and India were not so exaggerated. In such harsh road conditions, even the rollers on the front of the ice-breaking tractor were constantly damaged under high-intensity work.
The endless white wasteland, the sun that never sets, extremely low temperatures, constantly damaged machines, the endless silence and emptiness like an alien world, and even no network or signal.
Everything was madly torturing and devouring Song Wenbin's reason. He had never seen such a disgusting journey. In front of such obstacles, he began to miss his sled dogs infinitely. If they were his dogs, That should make it easy to get over those hurdles.
Maybe he has reached the extreme now.
Maybe Huo Yu has already reached the extreme, and what he is doing now is useless.
It's just that he can completely transform himself into a struggle ratio and roll around the North Pole endlessly, but his companion Sutina can no longer do it.
On this day, when the two of them were resting by the wheel, Song Wenbin suddenly heard a sad voice coming from beside him: "Brother Song..."
"What's up?"
"I'm not mentally well."
"You're not in good spirits." Song Wenbin repeated.
"Yes, during the day today, I was in an unconscious state for dozens of minutes. During those dozens of minutes, I had no idea what I was doing..."
After a pause, Sutina choked with sadness and said: "I thought that coming to the Pole might be a very interesting trip, but I was wrong... I have never seen such a boring trip. Every day, I either break the ice or break the ice. Repairing the machine, breaking the ice, repairing the machine, breaking the ice, repairing the machine. As a result, I can only advance less than 20 kilometers in so many days. I can't stand it anymore, it's too boring..."
"Su Tina, we must persevere! Perseverance to the end is victory!" Song Wenbin said like the male protagonist in a Shaw Brothers movie model drama, his voice full of greatness and integrity.
Seeing Song Wenbin like that, Su Tina begged sadly: "Brother Song, please don't do this. I'm really scared."
"Su Tina, don't be afraid! When we encounter difficulties, we will solve them!" Song Wenbin's tone was full of righteousness.
"Don't do this!"
Sutina couldn't hold on any longer and cried while sitting in the car: "You make me feel so guilty. I always feel that I ruined this team and made Huo Yu leave us..."
Song Wenbin was silent.
After a while, he put away Wei Guangzheng and asked coldly: "What do you want?"
"I feel like, I feel like I can't hold on anymore."
Song Wenbin thought for a while, turned off the video recorder in the car, and asked, "Are you sleepwalking again?"
