Steve and Li Du went to the tundra belt together. They drove four cars, and two cars were left to guard the camp. The rest went to deal with the old rangers.
It was a bumpy ride, and after almost a day on the road, they approached the tundra belt.
Li Du looked out, relieved to see the vast tundra not far away, and said, "I can finally see something other than grey and white."
The car in front stopped. Steve smiled and pointed east, up over his head. "There is some blue there too."
Li Du looked up, and it was true that the sky over the northern islands was blue, so blue that it was refreshing to see.
This time, the rangers did not show up in their cars. The previous time, it might have been because helicopter alarmed them.
