Chapter 1171 Collision, Penguin Colony (1/2)
During the second half of the journey, the snowmobile on Sophie's side had become a
lone wolf dance for Ah Ow.
For a while, the sled dogs accelerated and moved fast. Ah Ow refused to accept the
loss and sped up the running. Ah Meng could not keep up, and only maintained a few
steps before slamming onto the ground.
Ah Ow did not care that it was the only one pulling the snowmobile and continued to
dash forth.
Steve was shocked at what he saw. ”God, this wolf-dog of yours is really something!”
Elson said, ”This is not a wolf dog. This is a pure-bred Mexican Wolf.”
”Who cares what it is? Isn't its stamina outstanding?”
What could Li Du say to that? ”It feeds on a lot of meat daily, hence the extraordinary
strength.”
In fact, once the snowmobile was started, it relied greatly on how smooth the ground
was. The ice was very slippery and hence, it did not require a lot of strength to pull the
snowmobile.
Regardless, Ah Ow's strength was awe striking. It was pulling the snowmobile alone,
with a human, a tiger cat and a honey badger sitting on it.
The camping area was not far from the sea, about five to six kilometers away. They
were able to spot the blue ocean line not long later. The snowmobile was sliding rapidly
on the icy surface.
During the warm season, Antarctica was a lively place. There were birds flying by the
sea, swooping down now and then to scoop their catch from the water below.
The penguins lived by the sea too. After using Penguin QQ chat tool for many years, Li
Du finally saw real penguins with his own eyes that day.
There were numerous penguins along the shore.
To avoid disturbing the penguins, Steve told them to stop the snowmobile before
reaching their destination.
It was no wonder that Brother Wolf had so much praise for the sled dogs. They were
really outstanding and very well-trained. Once the snowmobile stopped, they stayed
near it and did not run around.
Meanwhile, Sophie had to yell at Ah Ow, ”Stop, Stop!”
Ah Ow understood the command and stopped abruptly, digging her four paws in. The
snowmobile skidded forward on the slippery ice.
Steve was stunned. ”Sh*t, is this ice skating?”
Elson grinned. ”Watch your language, don't use profanity.”
The snowmobile had a brake pedal and stepping on it would force the vehicle to reduce
its speed.
However, Sophie did not press the pedal. The snowmobile kept sliding forward. She
fumbled and thrust out one of her legs, trying to reduce the speed by dragging her foot
across the ice.
Li Du was first surprised and then jovial. ”Haha, female driver! Step on the brake! What
can you achieve by dragging your foot? This is not a skateboard!”
”Quick, help me!” Sophie shrieked, ”The brake is faulty!”
Upon hearing that, Li Du and Steve sprang into action, chasing the snowmobile like
madmen. However, the snowmobile was sliding very quickly and they were unable to
catch up. They watched helplessly while it looked as though the snowmobile was going
to crash straight into the sea.
Then an accident happened. Ah Ow, the snowmobile and everything in it slid forward a
few hundred of meters before knocking into the colony of penguins.
The startled penguins flapped their wings and paddled away. However, the plumper
penguins suffered: We did not provoke anyone, we were only sitting around, this
disaster just happened out of nowhere!
Penguins were clumsy on land due to their physique. They could not run fast. Once the
snowmobile appeared, they had taken notice of the movement and turned their heads to
look behind.
Realizing that the snowmobile had stopped, they settled down calmly and did not jump
into the water to hide from the people.
It was illegal to capture penguins in Antarctica. Besides, there was no economic gain to
make from them. Hence, hardly anyone ever provoked the penguins. Besides, these fat
