Chapter 1593: Bering Strait
Lin Rui nodded, and said to Jiang An, "Contact the employer and report our situation." β
Shokishi took out his tactical computer and opened it to contact Aladdin. After a few minutes, a screen pops up on the screen. Aladdin seemed pleased with their efficiency, "You're doing a good job, but it's not safe yet, you must rush to the rendezvous point immediately." β
"We're getting there, but we're noticing it's continuing east. Why don't you park the ship in a direction closer to the mainland?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Because the news of your rescue has now reached the Secret Society, and the Secret Society is tracking you through all the channels at their disposal. So we can't go back to Russia. We make our way east, and you will catch up with us and join us before we reach the Deomede Islands. Then we continue east, to Alaska. Aladdin smiled, "I suggest you take a nap and keep warm, because it's going to be cold." β
"He cut off the communication. Jiang An turned his head to Lin Rui and frowned, "I checked what he said about the Deomede Islands, also known as the Gvozdev Islands. In the middle of the Bering Strait. It consists of the islands of Great, Lesser Diomede and Ferroue Rocks. The western island of Bolshaya Deomede, also known as Ratmanov Island, covers an area of about 10 square kilometers and has an altitude of 513 meters above sea level at its highest point. It belongs to Russia and is the easternmost point of Russia. There are no settled residents, and a weather station is built.
The island of Lesser Deomede, also known as KruluΕ‘telna, is 7.5 km east of the island of Veliky Deomede. It is only 5.5 square kilometers in size, has inhabitants, and belongs to the United States along with the Ferrue Rocks. β
"He's right, the Secret Society has a lot of power in Russia, and they have a lot of resources, so it will be very easy if you have to hunt me down with all your might. But crossing the Bering Sea to reach the United States, they are beyond their reach. This is not to say that they have less influence in the United States, but most of them are concentrated on the East Coast, with a few other states, and their influence in Alaska is extremely limited. Zhao Jianfei nodded.
"What information did you get about them, and they would go to such great lengths to find you?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"I don't know yet, it's like a password or something, but I remember it all. Zhao Jianfei pointed to his head. "It's all here. β
"You're such a talent. Lin Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Whoever for a while, at least take a nap. Shogishi patted them on the shoulder. Three helicopters formed a formation for night flight. It is not easy to conduct a helicopter night flight in a climate like the Bering Sea. There are many risks, and the lack of reference on the sea surface at night makes it difficult to judge the flight attitude. Moreover, flying in the dark, pilots are prone to psychological panic and operational errors......
However, these pilots of Aladdin are very reliable, and both pilots should be veterans. Helicopters are climbing in altitude and flying at an accelerated pace. Before you know it, the helicopter has begun to turn back. Suddenly, the fuselage shuddered, and Crazy Horse almost fell off his seat.
"Youyun!" As soon as the words fell, the co-pilot grabbed the control stick to take over the flight, and a series of crisp movements stabilized the helicopter. In the faint light, clouds swooped in on the face, and the helicopter seemed to be flying in a dark tunnel. The pilot stared at the flight instruments with wide eyes to correct the flight attitude while contacting the other two helicopters...... The scene was like an eagle leading its young eagle through the clouds and the wind in the dark.
"Hey, watch out for the Russians. You almost hit me on the head. Crazy Horse complained.
"I'm not Russian, I'm British. The pilot turned his head and smiled.
Lin Rui patted Crazy Horse, "Okay, stop complaining." Strap on your seatbelts, we should be a short distance from the meeting point. β
"I'm just not used to jolting around in a helicopter. Turbulence on the sea, to be exact. Crazy Horse muttered.
"You'd better get used to man, it's a bit cold, so there's ice on the rear wing, I'm using the de-icing system. Some bumps are normal. The pilot laughed.
"yes, frozen? that's pretty good. Crazy Horse sighed.
"Relax, we never had a problem. The pilot smiled.
"You are also hired by Aladdin?" Lin Rui frowned.
The pilot nodded, "Sort of, we've been working for him for years." He was very generous. β
"It can be seen that if you can invite a good hand like you, the shot will definitely not be too low. Lin Rui nodded.
Thirty minutes later, they saw ships in the distance, two large container ships. The pilot was talking to the ship, "We've arrived, request landing, request landing." β
Soon the lights on the ship came on, lights were lit on the ship's two helicopter platforms, and someone waved their hands to direct them to land. The helicopter flew to the ship and began to hover and land, and finally landed on the boat, and the team members began to jump off the helicopter one by one.
As soon as they jumped out of the helicopter, they were surrounded by a group of armed men who surrounded them in the middle in order to get up. "What's going on?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Necessary security procedures, sir. The black man who had been following Aladdin walked up.
"I don't want to be held at gunpoint, even as an employer. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
The black bodyguard motioned for the armed men around him to lower their guns, and then walked over to their side. "Where is he?" asked the black bodyguard.
"In the back. Lin Rui pointed at Zhao Jianfei and said, "Give him a coat, he is not lightly frozen." β
The black bodyguard nodded, beckoned the others to protect Zhao Jianfei, and then led them to the boat.
"Mr. Aladdin will meet you, but first you have to meet him. Please wait a moment while the kitchen prepares hot soup and hot food for you. It will help you in such weather. The black man said to Lin Rui. "I'll take you to the restaurant. β
Lin Rui turned his head to look at Zhao Jianfei, Zhao Jianfei nodded at him, "We'll see you later." β
Lin Rui nodded silently. The black bodyguards took Zhao Jianfei to other places. And Lin Rui and the O2 team members went to the restaurant on the other side.
The temperature on the boat was much better than outside, and the food was piping hot. Lin Rui and the others were really hungry, and coupled with the impact of low temperatures, they really needed some hot food. "You're welcome. Lin Rui shrugged, "This is a working meal prepared by the employer." β
"Haha, by the standards of the ship, it should be said that the food is good. Sandro laughed.
One of the armed men smiled and said, "You use it slowly, if you finish eating, please let me know, and I will take you to rest." The boss will meet you after talking to Mr. Zhao. β
Lin Rui nodded, this mission came to an end, and he was relieved.
