Chapter 1716: The Lone Brave Man

Chapter 1716 The Lone Brave Man (Second update, please subscribe)
The world is small and big.

Just as Zhao Xiangjie was using a computer to open up an extraordinary world, at the same time, on the ice field of the Antarctic continent tens of thousands of kilometers away, a lonely figure was gliding quickly there.

Bai Zhicheng had been gliding on the ice field for nearly two hours.

Today is the 30th day of his crossing of Antarctica. Every day, as long as conditions permit, he will travel by kite gliding. After all, this way of travel is faster.

The wind was still strong, but his body had gradually adjusted to the rhythm.

His breathing became steady and his heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He would occasionally glance at the military compass on his wrist to confirm his position and direction.

"As long as I keep going in this direction, I will reach my destination in 30-35 days at most..."

There was a flash of excitement in Bai Zhicheng's eyes. Everything was going more smoothly than he had imagined. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to his goal, but the road ahead was likely to be more and more risky.

Suddenly, his skis sank in and he fell forward. He subconsciously released the joystick and supported himself with his hands, barely stabilizing his body, but his body still sank down suddenly. Under the influence of the wind, the ski kite dragged him forward. Just as his body fell, it was quickly lifted up by the wind, and then the skis touched the ice again.

"my God!"

Kneeling on the ice, Bai Zhicheng gasped for breath, his heart beating violently. His palms were rubbed by the ice, but he didn't care. He looked up and looked behind him, feeling a little scared. There was a snow pit that had collapsed five or six meters.

Without the kite, he would have fallen headfirst, and if he hadn't freed the kite in time, he would have been dragged down by the sled. Although he had escaped by luck, the problem was that the sled loaded with supplies was on the other side of the snow pit.

"What should we do now."

Without the supplies in the sled, the rest of the journey would not only be more difficult, but life-threatening. After all, people cannot live without food.

Standing up, Bai Zhicheng patted the snow off his body, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Pull the sled over here first..."

However, this crack, which was several kilometers long, blocked his way back.

But now is not the time to be depressed. He must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise he will be trapped on this ice field and unable to complete his goal.

Go around it!

After more than an hour of hard work, Bai Zhicheng finally got back on the road again, dragging the sled loaded with more than 100 kilograms of supplies. Although it was pulled by a sled, it was not easy. As long as the snow was a little deeper or there was a small ice ridge in front, it would not be able to be pulled, and every step was difficult.

After leaving this area, he released the kite again, held the joystick again, and adjusted the angle. The power of the wind once again drove him forward, and he felt a little more relaxed.

Driven by the wind, Bai Zhicheng continued to move towards the South Pole. When he was close to the pole, there were a few days of good weather, but the weather in between was bad. The coldest temperature was minus 40 degrees Celsius, there was a force 12 gale, and there were many blizzards.

Although it was midnight and the sun was hanging in the sky, we could not see the sun because of the continuous snowstorm.

When you are alone in Antarctica, you often feel extremely lonely, and everywhere you look there is snow.

Ice field, sled, and one person!

Faced with such loneliness, the inner pressure can be imagined. When it was close to the peak, Bai Zhicheng even had some kind of hallucination, imagining that someone was talking to him.

But he still kept adjusting his mood and moving towards the extreme.

When walking out of the research station, Knowles looked around with some boredom - there was nothing at the South Pole except ice and snow.

The Amundsen-Scott Station is located at the South Pole. It was built ten years ago by an 18-member team from the U.S. Navy. The team arrived here in October 10 and spent the winter of here.

It is named in honor of Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott, the two explorers who were the first to reach the South Pole.

From that day on, this research station became the only one built by human beings at the pole. Although the station was being buried in ice and snow at a rate of about 1.2 meters per year, scientists were still working here.

Suddenly, Knowles saw a red shadow on the white ice field, and the shadow was moving towards here.

"That's...someone!"

Knowles screamed:

"Oh my God, someone..."

He quickly opened the door and shouted:

"Edmund, Edmund, someone is coming!"

"What? Someone? Who?"

Soon, everyone ran out, some even wearing only sweaters. They stood on the wooden corridor of the research station, looking at the figure on the ice field.

"Who is he?"

"Where did you come from?"

Finally, amid people's puzzled questions, Bai Zhicheng came closer. He was wearing a thick down jacket, his snow goggles blocked his face, and his chin was covered with snow. When Nobel picked up the camera to take a picture of him, Bai Zhicheng took off his snow goggles and looked at the scientists in the research station with joy.

"Hello!"

"Hello! Are you..."

"I am Bai Zhicheng from Yinglong." This was the first time in dozens of days that Bai Zhicheng was not talking to an illusion. Before this, he had always been talking to an illusion, but now he was very sure that he was talking to a human.

"I came here on foot from Yinglong."

"walk!"

For a moment, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless. It was a while before someone asked.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes, I am alone!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned again.

Finally arrived at the South Pole. When he arrived at the South Pole, Bai Zhicheng was excited, not because he was there, but because he felt that he finally saw people, which was very important.

Because before, I was lonely in all aspects from vision to smell. I could not see anything except the vast white world of ice and snow. This loneliness was very strong.

The station chief, Aimond, walked up to him and, while welcoming him, hugged Bai Zhicheng and said:
"You are such a warrior, do you need any help?"

In the Antarctic continent, humans always have to help each other. This is the only way for humans to survive, so they always help each other.

Besides, the young man in front of him is indeed an admirable warrior.

"Can you give me something to eat? I'm really hungry..."

I have almost reached the limit of my physical strength every day in the past. The consumption is very high, so food supply is very important. I will pick up any crumbs that fall on the ground while eating.

"Of course, my friend, it is our honor to host you!"

Edmond turned around and shouted to his colleagues:
"Gentlemen, today we have witnessed history - the first explorer to reach the South Pole alone!"

This scene was not only recorded by the camera, but also by the video camera. Amid the applause of the crowd, Bai Zhicheng said:
"Sir, my goal is to cross the Antarctic continent..."

On this day, the scientists at the Amundsen-Scott Station witnessed the explorer's courage. While warmly entertaining the young explorer, the research station also sent the news that Bai Zhicheng had reached the pole alone via radio to Yinglong in Antarctica and various research stations, including the United States.

Soon, the news that Bai Zhicheng was wearing only a Vietnamese shirt made headlines in American newspapers.

This was an era lacking explorers, or rather, heroes, but people worshipped explorers and heroes. This news instantly ignited the entire United States, and people discussed Bai Zhicheng's time travel in newspapers and on television.

He has walked thousands of kilometers alone to reach the South Pole, and he will continue to walk, which is an unprecedented feat.

Just as the whole world was marveling at Bai Zhicheng's courage, Bai Zhicheng embarked on another journey, heading towards the other end of the Antarctic continent. When he left, Edmund, Knowles and others came out of the research station to see him off.

"What a brave fellow!"

"A lone warrior."

On the vast white ice field, a person was walking alone. Just when Bai Zhicheng was leaving the Amundsen-Scott Station, a C130 transport plane carrying supplies landed at the research station. When the plane left, in addition to the normal scientific research samples, there were some extra films on the plane, which were taken by Bai Zhicheng when he arrived at the research station.

A few days later, several American TV stations obtained first-hand film footage, and the young explorer Bai Zhicheng once again became the darling of the American media, with television being filled with news reports about him.

"...We are all looking forward to this lone brave man being able to complete his expedition safely and successfully cross the Antarctic continent..."

Listening to the news on the radio, Wick's mouth curled up slightly. As a soldier, he admired Bai Zhicheng very much. More importantly, the guy was only 18 years old.

"Really? What was our kid doing when he was 18 years old and crossing the Antarctic?"

Thinking of this, Will's face turned a little ugly. He thought of his son's long hair, like a woman's. Born after the war, they had never experienced the hardships of life. Their spirit was rebellious, their culture was rebellious, and their life was also rebellious.

There they listened to music and rebelled against everything, and they had no idea what courage and sacrifice meant.

They even opposed the war in Saigon.

"That's protecting us all! Protecting the whole world..."

Will muttered, his tone full of dissatisfaction, but more of it was helplessness.

Those young children are simply unable to understand the true cruelty. They always think that the United States is very powerful and that it can avoid the threat of war with the protection of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on its east and west sides.

But they don't know that the risk of war may befall the United States at any time, and you will never give up your threat to the United States just because of the isolation of the ocean.

So in order to prevent all this from happening, the United States must contain the Soviet threat worldwide, but those young people have all kinds of beautiful fantasies about the world. In their imagination, the world is peaceful, and they even laugh at and insult the soldiers who fight for their country.

"The Russians' kids may not have surpassed us, but the SEA kids have left our kids behind..."

Will sighed helplessly.

Although he was aware of this problem, he was powerless to do anything because he couldn't even take care of his own children. With such helplessness, Will parked the car in the Pentagon's parking lot. After parking the car, he quickly entered the Pentagon. As soon as he entered the office area, he saw people walking hurriedly in the corridor.

"What happened?"

Subconsciously, Will quickened his pace. Before he even reached the office, a colleague came over and said to him:
"Lieutenant Colonel, something serious has happened..."
