"I've been waiting for you for a long time, I thought you would be there last night!" After welcoming Li Huan and the others into the house, an old man with a gray beard smiled heartily: "Rovisha, Agatta, I've seen you for a long time, and now you're getting more and more beautiful." Well, let me prepare you three dog sleds, where are you going? I have the impression that you have retired...... Is that them?"

"Boss, this is Pyotrsovlovich, an old hunter here. Luo Weisha hurriedly introduced: "He is also our former wilderness survival mentor, and he is a very powerful character. Grandpa, this is Li Huan, our boss, a Chinese. ”

"Chinese...... I haven't seen Chinese here for a long time. "Petotsovlovich has actually been looking at Li Huan since he entered the door, according to the two Russian girls, Petrosovlovich is an excellent old soldier, and he is naturally vicious. Li Huan's current temperament is no longer comparable to ordinary young people, and his long-term life of high and high, iron-blooded fighting, has long refined his temperament to be extremely condensed. The so-called old soldier, he can naturally see Li Huan's extraordinary.

"What's wrong with the Chinese?" Li Huan's eyes narrowed, there is too much hostility in this world, always aiming at the rising China.

"Hehe, I don't mean hostility by this, I used to be a designer at the Red Star Tractor Factory before I settled here, and a long, long time ago, I went to China to help my brothers design tanks. Pyotrsovlovich laughed: "But since then, I haven't seen any Chinese, and after I returned to China, I didn't like the atmosphere, so I moved here alone." ”

"It turns out that you are ......" Li Huan suddenly stood in awe: "I'm sorry, I just lost my words!"

What Li Huan said, except for Shangguan Qing, who could understand it, no one else could understand it. He was talking about the famous First Five-Year Plan. At that time, the 156 projects aided by the Soviet Union were 156 projects aided by the Soviet Union to China's industrial field. The project names and brief introductions are listed by region, province, city, other regions, etc. This series of projects has helped the development of China's industrial economy and laid the foundation of China's industry.

"It's okay, it's okay, I like Chinese children, come on, don't say much, I've prepared food for you, eat something to recover your strength, and the rest will be talked about next." Petr Sovlovich said with a smile, and then he shouted outside the house: "Take out some of the vodka I have saved, it's too cold today, and the guests want this thing alive!"

After a group of people heard these words, including Li Huan, they immediately let out a burst of cheers. There's nothing quite like a high-standing vodka on a cold winter day, and if anything, it's two......

Soon, someone outside brought in wine, barbecue and some nuts and other things, in order to apologize just now, Li Huan personally poured a glass of wine for Petrosovlovich, and after Petrosovich thanked him, he said: "I don't ask why you guys are late, it's hard enough to cross the damn Ural Mountains, and those who can come over are heroes." ”

"You're polite, old man, we also worked hard to climb over. Li Huan smiled.

"You're welcome, like I said, it's not easy for you to come here. I got the news from these two girls that you arrived last night, and I think you must have had some trouble on the western slopes? The western slopes of the Ural Mountains are notoriously steep, and the Germans were slowed down by the Ural Mountains. It's worth a toast if you come safely. Petotsovlovich raised his glass: "Especially since I see that you are dressed lightly, unlike other climbers, which makes me admire you even more." ”

"You're so polite. Li Huan raised his glass and touched it: "I didn't expect us to be so fateful, we are full of respect for the old experts of your generation." I'll have to trouble you a little bit more. ”

"You're welcome, in addition to my friendship with the two girls, you also promised to help us repair the village. Pyotrsovlovich laughed: "I guess this must not be your idea, these two girls casually agreed, right? But in my opinion, young man, you will definitely agree to this condition." Of course, this is not a threat, even if you tell me now that you don't know, then I will happily send you over. ”

"You're welcome, of course I will. Li Huan raised his glass again, looking at Rovisa and Agata at the same time.

The two Russian girls smiled embarrassedly: "Boss...... I beg your pardon for taking matters into our own hands, but we should have consulted with you at the time. But Leon and Rodman say that this kind of thing doesn't bother you. ”

"Boss, we're out of the money!" Leon and Rodman hurriedly helped their "female companion" out of the siege, and it could be seen that they had established a deep "friendship" on the way. ”

"No, I'm saying you're doing a good job, don't take me for your boss. Li Huan smiled faintly, he appreciated this approach very much. Luo Weisha and Agata both arranged very well all the way, in fact, Li Huan also admired their independent style very much - especially the arrangement of the dog sled at the end, which was simply a highlight.

After Li Huan finished speaking, Pyotr Sovlovich asked again: "But I'm curious, why did you go to that place...... Well, the two girls have already given me the coordinates where you are going. As far as I know, there was only one abandoned barracks...... There are also several small villages nearby. ”

"Oh, do you know that place?" Li Huan was slightly stunned, and his heart became alert again.

Li Huan had no way to doubt it, because the place was a secret place and should not be known by a person, or an ordinary person. The place where the special tactical units of the former Soviet Union were stationed should have existed in secrecy. It's as if Li Huan called out the former Soviet Union, and the existence of this military camp was not marked on the military map. This shows that the level of secrecy of this military camp is far beyond the authority of the average commander to know. Relatively speaking, if anyone wants to know about the secret base, then his identity must be very suspicious.

If you make the worst guess...... Li Huan has even buckled a soul thread.

It's not to blame Li Huan for being nervous, he is nervous for a reason. Because the strength of the Xizhao Society is too huge, according to Li Huan's current understanding, the Xizhao should be able to use all the resources of Citigroup. And Citigroup has been practicing world hegemony for decades, and they have planted countless nails in the world - God knows which one is theirs?

Fortunately, Petotsovlovich didn't have a bit of aura reaction on his body, if there was, the soul thread in Li Huan's hand was probably thrown out.

Maybe seeing that something was wrong with Li Huan, Agata immediately whispered: "Boss, don't underestimate him, Petotsovlovich was our instructor at that time, and he was also a technical non-commissioned officer, and he had a nickname called Living Map." He got this nickname because he lived in the area many, many years ago. The intelligence maps in this area were all surveyed and mapped by himself. If you want to know anything else, drink with him or two, and he'll soon tell him all he knows, I promise. ”

Oh, so that's it, Li Huan relaxed.

Li Huan immediately poured wine into the empty glass that Petsovlovich had just drunk, Petsovlovich smiled slightly, raised the glass and touched it with Li Huan, and drank the wine in the cup again.

Sure enough, after such a few glasses of wine, Petrosovlovich's conversation box was completely opened.

"If you can name that place, it means that you already know what it is. Although I don't know where you saw the existence of this base, even in the former Soviet era, it was an extremely secret existence - that place was officially called the K-117 area, only a code name, no name, and it could not be seen on ordinary military maps. Petotsovlovich's look showed that he was already a little drunk.

"K-117? is this a military code name?" Li Huan hurriedly asked, this was the first time he had gotten it

Detailed information to this place.

"Yes, K, do you know what K means in the Soviet Union's Higher Military Region? That's top secret, how secret is it? Let me tell you, the radioactive element refining plant at that time was codenamed K, you can understand what I said?" Petotsovlovich said: "It's the same level as the radioactive element refining plant. Speaking of which, there was a refinery here, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all the facilities of this factory were dismantled and mothballed. ”

"Also here?" Li Huan was stunned.

"Of course, you haven't heard of it, only a few people know about it. There was also a small explosion at the refinery that year...... Have you heard about the famous death of the climber on the Western Slope? That's because of that. Pyotrsovlovich spat at this: "Phew! Those bureaucrats will always just talk nonsense." ”

"Are you talking about the Dyatlov incident?" Li Huan was stunned.

"That's right, it's the Dyatlov incident, those young people are really miserable, I brought the search and rescue team at that time, I was still young at that time. Petotsovlovich squinted his eyes and recalled: "That's right, they were harmed by that inexplicable and restrained refinery. I still remember that afternoon, there was a sudden loud noise, even the sky was illuminated green, and then a few days later, the official began to send a large number of search and rescue personnel, saying that they were going to find someone, and finally after carrying down the bodies of several young people, they said that it was a mysterious death, and I bah, shameless thing!"

"So that's the case, no wonder they have radioactive elements on them......" Li Huan nodded, pretending not to know: "You continue." ”

Of course, Li Huan would not say that those climbers were killed by the snowman, because no one believed this matter, so he just regarded it as not knowing.

"That's true. Petholovich said this, and suddenly his voice was low: "But there is something strange in this matter. Why am I asking you, why are I going to that place, because I've heard...... Of course, I only heard that there were a lot of strange things going on there, what people could fly, and what monsters, because of the riots in the K117 area that day, they were not suppressed in time, and a series of chain reactions led to the explosion of the radioactive element refining plant not far away. ”

"Oh?" Li Huan became interested, and this was what he wanted to hear: "Then tell me quickly, what is in that military base?"

"I don't know, I don't have access to that information. Since this incident, the K117 area has been completely closed, and several nearby villages have only been inhabited in the past ten years. Petryotsovlovich said this, suddenly shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "Haha, I also heard these things, in fact, the military base there has been demolished, and only some old buildings remain." Later, the nearby Inuit people got used to staying there and slowly turned it into a village. ”

"Does that mean this place is completely abandoned?" asked Li Huan.

"No, there was always such a large group of permanent fortifications in that place. During the Cold War, Citigroup began to see the Arctic region as the front line against the Soviet Union, and at that time, Citigroup's technology was more advanced than ours, and our long-range bombers took off from the Black Sea base, and they could not reach Citigroup's mainland. So later that place turned into a secret strategic air base for taking off bombers......"

Pyotrsovlovich drank another glass of wine, shook his head and continued: "Later, bombers became a rarity, and this base was changed into a permanent place for the Strategic Missile Forces...... In short, this base has been changed from the moment it was born, and it has never had a fixed purpose. But there's a lot of fun about it. It's just that no matter what it looks like, it's so mysterious. Strategic bomber bases, strategic missile bases are always mysterious. ”，

Hearing this, Li Huan asked curiously: "Strategic bombers, troops Strategic Missile Forces." This base must be very secretive, right? According to you, why are there still inhabitants and villages around? According to international practice, it is indeed easy for these strategic forces to hide in this vast land of Siberia. But once a strategic force is built, shouldn't the surrounding area be cleared and kept secret?"

Pyotrsovlovich shook his head with a smile, "How can it be kept secret? If you think about it, there is nothing in the Great Siberian Wilderness, where one or two armies are stationed alone to carry out tasks, and you can't imagine how boring the process is, often seeing the same thing over the course of several years. It's a never-ending snowfall. And at that time, the army was no longer serving alcohol, how could the Russians not have alcohol? Of course, they would sneak out of the military base to exchange wine with the surrounding residents. That's how the villages next to the military base were gathered in the first place...... This base was finally abandoned, probably because the surrounding villagers gathered more. ”

"The villagers are gathered next to the strategic missile base, and there are no military officers?" said Leon and Rodman, who both sounded incredulous.

When a country's capital is bulldozed, all strategic weapons collectives cannot be destroyed, because this is the only hope for saving the country and the last sharp sword. The same is true in peacetime, when the overall national strength, whether economic or political, is not up to military strength, and it can even be said that if you have enough force at hand, you can decide the order of this world. In the face of absolute force, it doesn't matter what kind of wisdom, economy, culture, or mess there is. It is always the military power that determines the hard power of a country.

And what determines whether the military is strong or not is the strategic weapons force. Therefore, every country hides its strategic weapons in extremely secret places, and it is impossible for outsiders to know at all, except for some people with very high levels of secrecy, where the country's strategic weapons forces are, what status, and what configuration are all top secrets. If a spy finds out these secrets and returns safely to his country, it is estimated that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Strategic forces are as important as they are. And Citigroup, which has always had a global strategy, regards strategic weapons as the core of the core, and only the president knows the whole truth about the degree of secrecy.

Li Huan laughed when he heard this, no wonder Li Ang They didn't understand, they didn't understand, it was because they didn't know the traditions of the Russian army, as well as the traditions of the Russians. In the presence of alcohol, it doesn't matter what is confidential.

When it comes to Russia, the first impression is that it is a "fighting nation", this nation has the genes of being warlike and good at war, and the people are fierce, brave and aggressive, and worship heroes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that its entire national history is a history of expansion. Of course, in addition to the distinctive characteristic of the "fighting nation", Russians also have a well-known hobby: good wine. Russians are very good drinkers, no one can compare with them, especially vodka, for which there is a popular saying: "You can live without delicious snacks, but you can't live without enough vodka, you can do without foolish jokes, you can't live without enough vodka, you can't do without amazing women, you can't do without vodka, vodka, the more the merrier!"

Of course, they actually drink to ward off the cold, because there are many parts of Russia that are frozen all year round, especially in winter. The outdoors in Russia is always icy and snowy, like a natural freezer. The weather is colder than the northeastern part of the country, so the locals like to drink alcohol to increase calories and make the body warmer. To what extent do Russians like to drink? Looking at what they do, they are literally drinking with their lives. Because the locals like to drink, many children have been watching their parents drink since they were young, and they also want to taste the taste of alcohol, so many children are very young

I have already learned to drink. Everyone knows that drinking alcohol is addictive, because if you drink too much, alcohol will paralyze people's nerves, so you drink alcohol since you were a child, and you will be addicted to alcohol when you grow up.

Not only children drink, but also the elderly and women are very fond of drinking, and on the streets of Russia it is common to see female compatriots carrying two or three bottles of wine when they go grocery shopping. It is precisely because the locals like to drink alcohol that Russia has moved out of hotels, but some people will secretly buy glutinous rice wine when buying groceries, and drink alcohol or cooking wine as alcohol.

Of course, if you think this is a strange thing, you still don't know much about the Russian people's preference for alcohol.

During the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union in World War II, vodka became an important strategic material, whenever the battle started, each soldier on the front line could get 100 grams of vodka, which was two taels of wine, which was equivalent to moistening the throat of the drunken Russians. Some fighter pilots secretly pump out the antifreeze in the plane to drink, the antifreeze contains ethanol, and the pilots love to drink it, and drinking too much of this thing will affect their eyesight, and in serious cases, they can drink blind, or even drink to death. The Soviet military issued a bizarre rule: each pilot drank a maximum of five bottles of antifreeze per day.

Therefore, Li Huan felt that there was a certain reason for this strategic weapons base, which seemed to have extremely perfect terrain and was extremely hidden, to be abandoned. He could even guess the deprecation process. The soldiers guarding here found that there were villagers selling alcohol outside, so they secretly ran out to buy alcohol, and the commanders in the base probably stopped it at first, but over time, according to the urine nature of the Russians, the wine distributed was definitely not enough to drink, and the commanders themselves wanted to drink, so they simply let go of this rule, no longer preventing the soldiers from going out to buy alcohol, and even encouraged them. Then more and more ordinary people surrounded the side of this Strategic Missile Forces base, and the authorities probably found out that the secrecy of this base could no longer be kept. If there is a war, this base will definitely be attacked as soon as possible, so it will simply be withdrawn.

After listening to Pyotrsovlovich's words, everyone was amazed, but Li Huan was more concerned about another thing: "Is there anything strange there? For example, what strange things happened near that base?"

Petrosovlovich shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm sorry, I can't explain these things to you, although I have been retired for decades, I still have to abide by some confidentiality regulations, and I don't want to be hunted down by the government for the rest of my life for saying something that shouldn't be said." ”

Li Huan nodded with a little disappointment.

Luo Weisha and Agata looked at Li Huan's somewhat disappointed expression, and said with a smile: "Boss, you don't have to be disappointed. Don't say it's you, even if we ask him, he won't necessarily say. You know, the most important thing for a soldier is loyalty. But boss, he didn't say anything - something that shouldn't be said, maybe that's what you want?"

In fact, Li Huan's slightly disappointed expression was just his habitual expression. After listening to Petholovich say this, Li Huan probably knows the situation over there, after this base has been abandoned several times in a row, there may really be some supernatural events, but these things have been blocked by the authorities, and Petrosovlovich can't tell him clearly. But as the two Russian girls said, if Petrosovlovich can name such a thing as a lifelong hunt, then there must be something strange in that area, and it is an unknown and unknown oddity that cannot be known to outsiders.

In fact, when asked this, Li Huan was already very satisfied, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I shouldn't ask about this, I'm just too curious." ”

"I'm sorry, you're going to end up going to that place anyway, and when you're done eating, I'll arrange for someone to prepare a dog sled and go with you. Petrosovlovich said.

Li Huan nodded, anyway, he already knew the general situation, so he was not in a hurry. Even if the people of the Xizhao Party discovered the anomaly here, they didn't have any doors, and they wouldn't be able to teleport here. Because of the two sudden snowstorms on the east and west slopes, everyone's body is a little tired, and there is still a section of the next journey anyway, so everyone simply came to a lively dinner. In this boring rush, it is very necessary to have a dinner party from time to time, which will help to alleviate some of the negative emotions caused by the boring hike.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough at noon, Li Huan planned to set off.

Push open the door and look out, the sun in the sky has set, this is already the Arctic Circle, the Arctic Circle is always very early, and the last trace of fish belly white can only be faintly seen in the sky. And now in the sky, although there are still many clouds, they are all dyed a heavy black, the sun is pulled down by the black curtain, and the night quickly paints this sky with ink.

At night, the temperature immediately became very low, Li Huan looked at the outdoor temperature gauge, in this short period of three or four hours, the temperature plummeted from about minus 3 degrees to minus 27 degrees......

"You can't go today, we are in the Arctic Circle, and the climate in the polar regions is like this, because the updraft of the entire Northern Hemisphere will cool down in the Arctic region, and then carry a huge amount of cold to the warm regions at lower latitudes to replenish the air that rises with the warm regions because of the rising temperature. Therefore, in the polar regions, this sudden cooling can be encountered frequently. However, as long as you take care of it, it will not cause catastrophic results. Seeing Li Huan open the door to look out, Pyotr Sovlovich laughed: "And we have drunk so much wine here today, it is not suitable to go out at night, if we all sleep in the snow, it will be really a disastrous consequence." ”

Li Huan smiled bitterly: "With you, I'm not worried about any catastrophic consequences, I'm just worried about the weather." ”

The polar climate is so strange and changeable that even satellites can't see it clearly. Maybe the temperature here was minus 1 second ago, and a minute later it plummeted to minus 30 degrees Celsius. There is no other way to escape these catastrophic temperatures than experienced hunters and residents. And Li Huan also understands that with a temperature of minus 30 degrees, if there is a sudden snowstorm again, let alone a few other people, even he can't bear it. The only way to get out of the temperature was to slow down, but it was more than 200 kilometers away from the military base...... If it does slow down, it could take four or five days to get there.

Perhaps seeing Li Huan's concern, Petrosovlovich smiled: "Don't worry, this temperature can't be maintained for a long time." You haven't lived in Siberia, so there are some things you may not know. I've lived here for decades, so I'm familiar with this polar climate. When you came here this afternoon, did you encounter a distant snowstorm? Now this cooling is brought about by that distant snowstorm. Rest assured, it won't take more than a day after this cold snap passes, and the temperature will rise immediately. And I observed just now that the cooling of this cold snap is not so violent, and if it catches up with the violent cooling, it is not uncommon for it to plummet by 40 degrees within a few hours. This is less than 30 degrees, which is a normal cooling. Do not worry. ”

Well, since the old residents say so, Li Huan can only choose to believe it. Although it was the first day they met, Li Huan knew that Luo Weisha and Agata were quite reliable. And Petrosovlovich also helped build it, and his personality qualities are worth believing in. It turned out that this was the case, and a few people thought that they would not be able to go anyway, so they simply continued to sit down and drink and chat, and at about ten o'clock in the evening, things turned out to be as Pyotrsoflovich judged, and the temperature began to rise.

When the sky rises white, the temperature outside rises to about three degrees. After last night, the snow was white, and Li Huan and the others were ready to cope with today's journey in the evening. To be honest, Li Huan was a little looking forward to dog sledding or something, he had only seen it on TV, and he had never sat on it.

The group packed their things and waited for Petotsovlovich to come out with his dog.
