[Ding! Purchase successful! Please check! ]
After a long time, Gel finally finished designing the clothes he would wear when landing in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. He turned around and saw Senior standing quietly beside him, obviously having something to say.
"Haqiu!"
Gel blew his nose, quickly took out his down jacket from the storage space and put it on. Feeling his body gradually warming up, Gel asked:
"What's wrong, O'Neal? Come on, put on your coat first, don't catch a cold, these are the winter clothes prepared for you."
Gel said, handing over the other coat.
Senior put out the cigarette in his mouth, took the down jacket without hesitation and put it on his shoulders. The weather turned cold all of a sudden, and he was shivering in the cold wind after standing there for a while.
"Thank you, Captain, but Captain, my name is Senior, not O'Neill!"
"Hey, it's just one word, don't be so stingy."
Ger joked nonchalantly.
"Captain! This is not just one word missing, not only is there one word missing, but even the order of the other words has changed. This is already a completely different name!"
Senior said somewhat helplessly, as he zipped up his coat and tried to put on his hood, finding that the coat the captain bought fit him well.
"Okay, okay, I'm just joking with you. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Gel didn't continue to try to figure out his mentality and got straight to the point.
"Oh, it was, but it's fine now."
"Originally I came to tell you that there is an island ahead. We should have reached the waters around the Drum Kingdom, but I didn't dare to disturb you because I saw you were concentrating on your work. Now we are almost at the shore and you have seen the island, so there is no need for me to notify you."
Senior waved his hand and smiled.
"Oh, okay, your notice is not very timely, but you did arrive in time. Please help me distribute these thick clothes to everyone. The weather has become so cold all of a sudden. Everyone must be frozen. I have packed everyone's clothes into small packages. You will understand when you take them out and take a look."
As Gel spoke, he handed Senior a large bag of winter clothes he had selected for everyone.
"Okay, Captain. I'll send it to them first."
After Senior left, Gel put on his hat and watched snowflakes begin to fall from the sky. He turned his head to look at the huge island that appeared in front of him, as well as the strange-shaped mountains in the center of the island. Several dark shadows were looming in the clouds.
Rather than calling it a mountain, it would be more appropriate to describe such a regular cylinder as several large pillars. The top of the mountain seems to have been flattened by something, presenting a flat circular platform, covered with snow all year round, like a layer of cream spread on a cake.
Drum Island is a typical winter island. Most of the time in the year is in winter with ice and snow. To be more precise, there is actually only one season here, which is winter. However, the locals still insist on forcibly separating the two or three months each year when there are fewer snowstorms and the weather is slightly better from winter and call them spring.
Perhaps to outsiders this is the difference between a few degrees below zero Celsius and more than ten degrees below zero Celsius: basically no difference.
But in their opinion this difference is huge, from now on they can have something more to look forward to during the long winter!
...
This white island is shrouded in severe cold all year round, and even the sea surface more than ten kilometers away has been frozen into a glacier. The boat of Gel and his crew had to circle the island for a long time before finding a suitable place to dock and land.
Fortunately, as sea seals, A Da and A Er have warm fur and a thick layer of fat, so they are not afraid of the cold. On the contrary, they like this icy and snowy environment very much. So after docking and disbanding, they did not rush back to the sea to find food, but played on the ice.
...
"Let's go. This island is much bigger than the ones we've been to before. You can take a good look around and play in the snow. You can have some free time. Come back here in a week. As usual, each of you will come and receive 500 million Baileys as activity funds to help the local economy."
Gel took out a large box of Bailey and spoke to his companions who had already changed into winter clothes while standing at the bow.
"Great! Let's play in the snow! Jin, Sister Funi, let's go skiing together! And ice skating! It must be fun."
Bia was the first to jump up and cheer. A puff of white smoke came out of her mouth as she spoke. She found it very interesting and started puffing away like Senior smoking.
"Well, I've never skied before."
When it comes to new things, Funi's eyes sparkle with excitement.
But the weather here is really cold!
Fortunately, she had warm clothes and a down jacket on her upper body, a woolen hat and a large scarf, autumn trousers on her lower body and a pair of thickened cotton trousers with fleece on the outside, thick leather gloves on her hands, snow boots on her feet, and several hot packs on her stomach and back. As the weakest member, she received the special package carefully prepared for her by Captain Gir.
Gel really took a lot of effort to keep us warm. Although this place is known as a world power in medical care and it is very convenient to see a doctor when you are sick, you can't bring trouble upon yourself.
"The environment here is harsh, so the animals are extremely ferocious by nature, but I believe you can handle it with your strength. Just be careful not to be defenseless."
Gel warned the boys beside him, and they all nodded seriously when they heard it.
It really lives up to my own aesthetic taste. Seeing that the pretty girls became more beautiful and the handsome boys became more handsome after putting on new clothes, Captain Gir nodded with satisfaction.
"Captain, Captain! Why are the clothes you bought for all of us so nice, but your own and Wilbur's coats are a little weird?"
Curious baby Bi Ya asked a question, and everyone realized that the same coat worn by Gel and Weeble was obviously not of the same style as theirs. The pure black with a few blood-red fire clouds gave them an indescribable strange feeling, especially against the background of the white world of ice and snow, it seemed somewhat out of place.
"Hmm? What happened to our coats? Don't they look good?"
Gel asked with a coquettish smile.
"Well... he is good-looking, but he doesn't look like a good person at first glance."
Ger rubbed her head, smiled and said nothing.
After receiving the money, everyone rubbed their hands together and jumped onto the shore.
In front of them, the sky and the earth were vast and boundless, and the ice and snow seemed to cover everything on the island. What a holy and magnificent natural landscape.
As soon as everyone got ashore, they were thankful that Captain Gul had prepared thick warm clothes and a bunch of equipment to fight the cold for them. Otherwise, they would have been frozen into ice sculptures as soon as they got off the boat, let alone playing in the snow.
