Cameras also have basic rights

The violent ice storm blew for three days and four nights, and a thick layer of ice and snow was scraped off the ground.When it finally stopped, the situation was not much better, at best it was a temporarily peaceful night.But the field of vision is not completely dark, because the aurora in the sky is still gorgeous, and its light reflects the situation on the ground.

Here is the depth of the polar region, where few animals set foot, especially in the coldest winter.As far as the eye can see, it is full of rugged glaciers of different shapes.One of the largest glaciers runs through hundreds of kilometers of ice sheets, with a drop of three to four hundred meters.When the wind blows from above it, the lower position is a natural shelter that can effectively avoid the cold wind.And if the wind blows from the bottom up, it will leave a safe area under the ice teeth.

In the depression closest to the pole is the famous Impel Icefield.At this time, there was a large black shadow in this place, which formed a sharp contrast with the snow-white ground in other places.During the ice storm, these black objects were motionless, and the surface was frozen; but now, the improved climate seems to have awakened something, the ice layer began to crack from the center, and the ice slag splashed out, protruding a lot. A pointed beak.

"Everyone, wake up, wake up! The one in the middle is going to be hot to death!"

"Stop complaining, why don't you talk about the feeling on the side?"

"So change your position now... Ouch, don't squeeze, don't step on my balls!"

"Could it be that you have eggs?"

The sound caused a little commotion.Many heads were shaking vigorously, shaking off the ice left by the blizzard; many more were moving slowly, staggering, with the utmost care.And when they move to the side, you can see that they are not pure black, but their belly is actually white.They had evidently huddled together for warmth in order to survive the severe cold; now that conditions were better they spread out a little.

Suddenly, some ice cubes fell from above the ice wall.The emperor penguins were all taken aback and looked up one after another.They are generally more than two meters high, but the ice wall is too high.

"Who's up there? Shouldn't we be the only ones here?" a penguin asked.

The sound was probably carried to the upper floors by the wind. "Don't make a sound if it's not food!" A vicious voice replied, and then a condescending head poked out from the ice wall: "I'm hungry, don't force me to eat your eggs!"

The tune is so familiar that emperor penguins know who it is without even looking.

"Hey, Claudio! Why are you still here? It's two months before Spring!" A tall and strong emperor penguin laughed.

"You're asking the wrong question, Fiddy!" said another emperor penguin who was also strong and strong, and his tone was a bit gloating: "If I remember correctly, the Skool family didn't know it as early as half a month ago. Have you set out for the sea? Have you slept again, my dear Claudio? Are you hungry again? Oh, what a pity!"

"Shut up, Lester!" Claudio Scull - a very fierce and clever but sleepy skua - was even more annoyed. "Believe it or not, I'm really going down!"

The emperor penguins laughed loudly, and everyone could hear the strong outside but capable inside.The skua's diet is very mixed, some of which are penguin eggs and little penguins.But now is the time when emperor penguins hatch their offspring, and the ones left on the Impel Icefield are all adult males, not afraid of a lone skua - the eggs are kept in their warm pouches. .

"If you really have the strength to fly down, Claudio, I advise you to take it easy." Fiddy said again, "In this weather, even if we throw an egg out now, you will have enough time to fly down." It turned into a block of ice that was no different from the surrounding ones. In that case, you might as well just eat some ice, right?"

Claudio snorted coldly and retracted his head back into the ice hole.As much as he hated to admit it, that damn penguin boss was right.He is not as fat as a penguin, and if he does not eat or drink for two months, he will definitely starve to death.He needs to save some energy, and when the weather is warmer and the little penguins hatch, he can catch a few to satisfy his hunger.He narrowed his eyes, turned his head and pecked at the long feathers on his back to prevent them from touching the ice, then buried his head in and fell asleep.

I heard no sound from above, and gradually became quiet below. "This is not good news." Contrary to the provocative tone just now, Feidi warned the other penguins around in a low voice, "Even Claudio can't leave here in the dark. It doesn't matter now, wait until dawn It's going to be bad. Be careful, everyone."

"Boss, don't you think he's going to starve to death before that?" asked a penguin outside the circle.

"Any skua, not Claudio, Andes," Fiddy said gravely.

"Okay, we know." The other penguins replied in unison.The expectant fathers clamped their legs together, carefully protecting the egg in the middle, resting it on the back of the paw.Not every egg hatches successfully, but no one wants to have a problem with one of their own.During this short break, they discussed the weather and whether the mothers would be back on time in the spring.

But there are a few exceptions, and Fale is one of them.He listened to the orders passed down layer by layer and the chatter of other penguins, and quietly stood a little further away.He has just come of age and this year is his first breeding season.In a group of young male penguins, he was lucky enough to find a mate and an offspring of his own.

But the joy of becoming a penguin father for the first time was washed away on the seventh day-the first storm blew up in the polar region, and Fale lost the egg in the panic of the assembly.Although the elders comforted him, it was normal; the sky was so dark, and the wind made them unable to open their eyes.But he still couldn't forgive himself.Fatina went fishing, she came back and found this, what happens?Pecking him all over the ground is considered easy, right?

To avoid being sympathetic to the other penguins, Faller wobbled a little further, deciding not to return to the colony until the next ice storm.But he blamed himself and didn't notice that on the other side of the ice wall where he was standing, there was a round and dusty thing frozen in the ice that was as hard as a rock.

……

Camera AZ8765 is watching the situation outside through the ice.The wind picked up again, and the penguins were close together.Except for the increase in size, everything else fits the data in the database so far, he thought.The weather was freezing, but that was no threat to him; besides, they were huddling together for warmth.Of course, he used "they" after consideration, because judging from the walking posture, these are all father penguins with eggs.

The number AZ8765 checked his situation again.The preset task is to inspect the entire planet, which must pass through at least twelve sampling points around the world; moreover, the most important one is biological.This situation should follow Article [-] of the Biological Regulations of the "Cosmic Union Law". Alien creatures should try their best to disguise their identities so as not to affect the local ecology.According to the default proximity principle, the closest animal he scanned when he landed should be the emperor penguin—his camouflaged target.

However, he is now a penguin egg, or a penguin egg frozen in ice.

The machine sighed deeply.All the necessary equipment is available and works normally, but it is for self-protection and shooting.It's true that he doesn't need to eat or drink, but if the first thing he scanned was a penguin egg, it must be an egg with a father, right?If his egg hatched in the ice, the penguins would not accept him, so what about other animals?

This heavy heart affected AZ8765, so that when another storm started, he was absorbed in his plan to crack the ice and attract another penguin father.

……

The sound of the wind rubbing against the ice surface sharply from outside made a tooth-piercing piercing sound, accompanied by the rough and heavy noise of the collision.In this case, even if he is as sleepy as Claudio, it is difficult to really fall asleep.Although he felt that his feathers were fluffy and soft enough, and the ice cave was not like the penguins sitting on the open air, he still felt uncomfortable because he hadn't eaten any hot or meaty food for half a month.At most, he could only crack some ice cubes to quench his thirst. He was tired of this kind of life.

What Fiddy had said earlier echoed in his head, and Claudio forced his breath out through his nostrils.That guy is smart enough to have alerted the other penguins.That is to say, if he wants to catch the leak, he will have to face the vigilance of more penguins.God, aren't emperor penguins all gentle and dull?Someone like Fiddy is definitely a mutation, right?

Of course, Claudio who thinks this way will definitely not feel that his lethargy is also a mutation among skuas.Hearing the sound of the wind die down, he pecked through the newly frozen ice layer at the entrance of the cave, poked his head out carefully, and then crawled out with his whole body.There was still some air-conditioning swirling in the air, and the group of emperor penguins below was silent, apparently not waking up yet.

It's a good opportunity!Claudio said to himself, grabbing the hard edge of the ice with his claws, protruding the tips of his two wings, and sliding down silently.Several storms have passed, and there must have been careless penguins who missed the eggs.Although iced eggs don't taste good, they are better than ice, right?

As the best hunter in the Skool clan, Claudio's eyesight and judgment are top-notch.Before long, he found three eggs successively.One of them was trampled by a penguin, which he didn't mind either.They were all frozen solid in the ice, but that was no obstacle for Claudio—he spread his wings, threw them from the sky with his claws, and then swooped down.Once or twice, he always manages to break them all.

With real food stuffed in his stomach, Claudio feels better.The emperor penguin egg is very big, and he is almost full.Just as he was about to return to the nest, he noticed a small gray dot in the shelter from the wind.There is another fish that slipped through the net!That's right, put it away and wait for the next time you are hungry!He swooped down suddenly, completely ignoring the awakened emperor penguins.

The sound of bang bang from above the ice wall woke up the emperor penguins a long time ago, and they just looked at each other in blank dismay.An experienced penguin heard what happened and could only shake his head helplessly.Compared to a skua stealing a live little penguin, taking a few ice eggs is not a big deal at all-you must know that the penguin eggs are doomed to die once they hit the ground.Although they don't want to see this scene, this is an unavoidable reality, just like fish eat shrimp and they eat fish.Now seeing a huge shadow hovering and swooping, all the penguins knew that the other party had found another target.

Because of this, Claudio made no secret of his intentions.He rushed straight down, grabbed the huge ice block, and flew up with it.This piece was heavier than the previous ones. He flew up and dropped it not very high, and then grabbed the one with the egg among the many broken pieces.Just when he was about to fly again, he felt a gust of wind behind him.The sense of danger made him shake his wings and quickly spread his wings to fly high, before he lowered his head and looked down.

It's an emperor penguin.He failed to attack once, and the hair all over his body was about to stand up. He shouted: "Give me back the child!"

It was the first time for Claudio to meet the penguin who asked him for iced eggs.He almost laughed out loud, but immediately realized that he was still flying, and there was still food in his claws, so there was no mistake. "I've never seen you before..." He circled the penguin deliberately. "What's your name? Young man?"

Farrar stared at him through gritted teeth, turning his head. "It's none of your business! Give me back the child!"

In normal times, Claudio could probably throw an ice cube at him in the face.But he is in a good mood today, and his patience has increased accordingly: "How do you know that this egg is yours? Besides, he is already dead, can you still hatch the ice egg?"

"You just died." AZ8765, who was just dizzy from being smashed and now said to be dead, finally couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.Although he is now an egg and has no attack power, but if nothing happens, he will definitely live for many years-at least he will not starve to death!

Claudio was waiting to hear Fale's answer, but before he thought about it, he heard another voice. With a flick of his paw, the ice egg slid down.He's old enough to have tinnitus?What was talking just now?

AZ8765 listened to the tone-changing wind in his ears, and realized that he had made a big or small mistake—according to the data in the database, the penguin egg would not make any sound at this time!He snapped his mouth shut immediately, feeling another, more violent impact - ouch!Even if his quality is excellent, he can't always fall like this!What to do if you have a concussion?

The penguins below were stunned by this development.Claudio is famous because nothing in his claws can escape.And what did they just see?Big Bird throwing his prey?

Fale was about to go mad at first, then turned around and wanted to chase, but finally found that the situation was not allowed-Claudio threw the egg to the upper glacier with one paw.Skuas can fly up, but emperor penguins are a natural barrier. "Stop! Stop! Don't you let a dead egg go?" he yelled anxiously.

Claudio is now completely sure that this is a young penguin father, probably the one who accidentally dropped the egg. "As I said, it's more valuable to feed my stomach than to waste it in the ice and snow!" He replied, but his sharp eyes were catching the things he accidentally threw out.

It's all the fault of that stupid penguin, he could have saved a whole ice egg for next time, but now it might all be broken into slag, what a waste—ah, I see, it's on the edge of the glacier—Huh?The ice cubes outside are all broken, it hasn't cracked yet?

Claudio flew over and landed near the egg.It didn't make sense, he took two steps, he had eaten so many penguin eggs, and there was never a situation where all the ice was broken and the eggs were still intact.Could he be mistaken, this thing is not a penguin egg?But obviously they look exactly the same?Also, the sound just now really sounded like a penguin egg...

With a sharp-eyed skua circling nearby, AZ8765 didn't think anyone would think things were going well.He didn't know what Claudio was thinking, but he realized that he must never speak again.This skua, who is said to have missed the return day due to lethargy, looks very difficult to deal with...

Claudio stared at him for another moment, his eyes unpredictable.Then without saying anything, he grabbed the egg with another paw and flew higher and higher.Then again, he threw the egg hard.

The dusty egg rolled twice on the ground without moving.

Claudio grabbed it and continued to throw it.

Still two rolls, no movement.

Throw it again.

The egg remained motionless, but two cracks appeared in the ice layer.

Claudio took two steps back.Sure enough, he misjudged it. This is actually a stone, right?

The voice of AZ8765, which always needs to constantly adjust the angle of view during the rollover, is: Look at your round body and beautiful feathers, why is your heart so sluggish!Shame on wasting energy!

Claudio finds it a bit difficult.He just caught this thing in his paws in front of a lot of penguins, so it can't be said that he was wrong for the sake of face!What should I do then?He was the famous Claudio after all, and quickly figured out how to push the egg to the edge of the glacier with his claws.If it still doesn't crack after falling down again, then let that silly penguin hatch!And there's that weird voice...

AZ8765 felt that the ice cubes under his feet were a little shaken by the wind.In other words, it is not the feet, but the direction towards the center of the earth, because he can always adjust his state according to gravity.But... what was the skua doing pushing him over the edge?He's just here to collect information, he doesn't do bungee jumping!

But the fact is that AZ8765 fell from the ice when the wind blew gently, hit the steep ice wall from time to time, and bounced up again.He resignedly ticked "Always On" under the body balance adjustment system to make himself more comfortable.What are the hobbies of this skua?After thinking for a while, he turned to the database page and started to create a file:

"Claudio Scull

The penguins at the bottom of the cliff were dissuading Fale, who was furious and trying to climb Bingfang, while AZ8765, which was recording [-]D images and brainwave signals, just rolled and rolled, and rolled in front of Fale.
