Chapter 216: A Little Conspiracy (I)

"Impossible, Dick, that would be to go around the glacial lakes of Kolka, the most terrible place in the world!" When Dilma heard Dick's suggestion, she exclaimed.

"I'm not suggesting, I'm ordering!" Dick didn't want to argue with Dilma about the danger factor.

"This area of glacial lakes is a glacial remnant, and it has not been fully surveyed, and more than 90% of it is impassable by vehicle...... "Dilmar is still trying to convince Dick.

"Then find out the 5%! At least 1,000 hunters have traversed this glacier for thousands of years! There will definitely be a way through! "Dick didn't know anything about this place, and the place they were going to was not untraversed.

"But the probability of survival of those hunters ......"

"I don't want to discuss the issue of probability with you, for me, the probability of survival is only zero or 100%!" Dick said impatiently.

"Maniac...... This is a madman......" Dilma could only mumble under his breath, reopening the digital map, looking for the 5% possibility.

The remnants of this glacier are full of holes, the places pushed by the glaciers have cut the earth into irregular large and small squares or areas, some places seem to be flat on the map, but in fact they are full of ravines, and the landscape here is constantly changing, and the power left by the glaciers is reshaping every stone and every inch of land here according to their own wishes every year, and this place is definitely not suitable for human habitation, or even human activities. But this is a natural buffer zone for some Arctic animals, and since ancient times, some hunters have risked their lives to cross this dangerous glacial lake area and hunt on the edge of the Arctic Circle in order to obtain the precious fur and oil of Arctic animals, but that was the helpless move of hunters in order to survive.

Technology sometimes does not replace human experience, the complex terrain in the glacial lake area, only the most experienced hunters can find the way, in order to survive, those who fight against the harsh nature either die quietly in this barren land, or bring back enough prey for a family to spend a year, because any mistake in this treacherous area will be fatal, so hunters will carefully select apprentices, and apprentices need at least 10 years to accumulate before they can cross this glacial lake area alone to reach the hunting ground- If he hadn't been swallowed up here before he left the school!

But now, such a hunter has become a legend. The last hunter to cross the glacial lake area for hunting died 30 years ago, and no one knows how to cross the glacial lake trail again.

The hunting ground was to the north of the glacial lake area, but Dick didn't want to hunt, he had to turn west as he was about to cross the glacial lake area, the place where the red dragon was disturbed, it was as hot as hell at this time, but it was a lifesaver for Dick to break the curse and seek riches, but it was a place that no one had ever been.

"Impossible...... It's impossible to traverse ......," muttered Dilma, tasked with searching the electronic map for a road that could be navigated, but there was no such path to be found here, and the area was geologically known as the Junction of Death. After the glacier recedes, the geological conditions here are not stable, and there are dangers of collapse and subsidence at any time, and although the glacial lake is called a lake, it is actually a large-scale ice swamp - except that it does not grow plants, it is actually very similar to a swamp, because you can never know if the place you step on in the next second is solid ground, which is still difficult for humans to pass, let alone the entire convoy, although these are top-level off-road vehicles, but they can't climb over the ravine, Considering the load-bearing constraints on the ground, Dilma felt that it was impossible to find a way for the convoy to pass through here.

"Since there are hunters who have successfully crossed over, then we can cross too!" Dick said slowly, not wanting to hear anything impossible in Dilma's mouth.

Hunters also venture through it only in autumn, when the fur and fat of the animals in the hunting grounds are the richest, and must come back before the harsh winter comes, otherwise they will never come back, and no one has ever managed to cross it in the harsh winter, Dilma felt a little hopeless.

"Dick, could you consider something else?" Mr. Min saw Dilma's dilemma and spoke.

"The shortcut has been blocked by Tchaikov, and he can only take the risk of taking this hunting path." Dick shrugged his shoulders, turned to Dilma again, and said, "Since I have paid, I have to enjoy the corresponding service." You are experts, and now is the time to show your talents. ”

"Perhaps...... Consult an expedition expert for advice. Dilma was sweating, he was just an expert in geology, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this local tyrant's expedition to engage in geological research, but he didn't want to give his life here, and in a hurry, he wanted to throw the pot on Mr. Min.

"That's a good idea. Mr. Min, what do you think? Dick then remembered that he also had an expedition support team.

"Wang Xingguo can always think of a way." Mr. Min said with a smile, he still has a lot of confidence in Wang Xingguo.

"Tchaikov, shall we set up another line of defense in the place where the red dragon is disturbed?" Tchaikov succeeded in scaring Dick away, and his deputy, Sasha, holding his gun, looked at Dick's convoy in the distance and asked.

"No, I know Dick well, he only has three minutes of heat, and when he is frustrated, he hides back in his den like a wronged kitten and looks sad." Tchaikov smirked and poured the last sip of vodka into his throat.

For Dick, Tchaikov was contemptuous in his heart. In every respect, Tchaikov was better than him, and Dick was nothing more than a playboy in the mall, doing some speculative work to support his lavish life, and most of this was due to the huge inheritance and the political influence of the marriage left by the elder Zacher, on the contrary, Tchaikov was in the business of oil and gas, and in his opinion, Dick was just a cunning broker in the mall, no match for his own industrialist.

"What if...... You know, Dick wasn't that simple, at least I think a few people should be put in to observe......" Sasha thought for a moment and made another suggestion.

"Okay. Let the large army go back to rest, and let a few more people follow Dick to see if he obediently returns to his comfort zone. Tchaikov felt that this arrangement was foolproof, and he did not want to expose himself to the bitter cold, but it was his duty, and it was the duty of everyone here. After arranging, Tchaikov muttered in a low voice: "It's really a hell to be active in this damn weather!" ”

Tchaikov was too confident that he had no idea that Dick's stubbornness and ambition in this matter were at stake in his family's fate, his life and his seemingly powerful but fragile business empire.

"Sergey, your group continues to set up cards here. Pavliu, you take a few people to the B5 area, set up a cordon, and the rest withdraw to the base. Well, act, act! "Sasha, having received Tchaikov's approval, gave the order to act.

Tchaikov, who had always believed in killing chickens with knives, gathered an armed force of more than 60 men, armed with first-class weapons and supported by two armored vehicles, in order to drive Dick back, and when those who had been squatting in this bitter cold for almost a month knew that they could withdraw and repair, they erupted in cheers.

In terms of strength, Tchaikov was undoubtedly superior to Dick, but in terms of professionalism, Tchaikov did not expect Dick to play a small conspiracy.

"It's the coldest season, the ice in the glacial lake is enough to withstand the vehicles, and the trouble is how to find a place in those ravines where vehicles can pass." Wang Xingguo carefully checked the map, asked for some details, and said.

Wang Xingguo is not worried about the vehicle driving on the ice, although the Unimog and the flagship have reached several tons, but the severe cold here has already frozen the water surface into ice up to a meter thick, in a sense, the cold is a good thing for the vehicle.

"But no one has ever crossed this frozen lake in the dead of winter...... "Dilmar is still trying.

"That's mainly because those hunters can't reach our current level in terms of equipment support." Wang Xingguo smiled, in the expedition, equipment support is also an important reason.

"Subsidence was a nuisance, but I remember we had hand-held detectors. Dick, be prepared to move slowly. Wang Xingguo thought about it and said again.

"It's no problem at all, it's better than going home!" Dick happily spread his hands, "Well, we'll rely on you, the expert explorer." ”

"Maniac...... This group of people is not engaged in science, they are all a bunch of crazy people! Dilma could only express his displeasure with a grunt.

Dick glanced at him contemptuously, and Dilma had to shut up in amusement.

"Mr. Wang Xingguo, how many days do you expect it will take you to cross this frozen lake area?" Dick asked, he was concerned about the timing now.

"Actually, our main trouble is to find our way through the glacier ruins, and the waterways that can't be passed in the summer are now our shortcuts, and I expect it to ......be about three days," Wang Xingguo said with confidence.

"The profession is really different, Mr. Min, you are very discerning!" Dick clapped his hands, "So, what are we waiting for?" Mr. Wang Xingguo, you are now our commander-in-chief! ”

"Wang Xingguo, if you can, then speed up as soon as possible, according to your time calculation, we can only catch the tail of the red dragon's disturbance." Mr. Min was still a little worried, and he said a word of advice uneasily.

"Shouldn't you explain what happened just now and Loulan?" Wang Xingguo was looking at the electronic map, and when he heard Mr. Min say this, he stopped what he was doing and looked up and asked.

"Oh, Mr. Wang Xingguo, it seems that you don't know much about my family's misfortunes," Dick thought for a moment and said, "Tchaikov is also a descendant of the Loulan royal family, although I don't want to admit it!" ”

Wang Xingguo was shocked by this, and Mr. Min tried to stop Dick from continuing, but Dick ignored Mr. Min's hint and continued: "The royal family was coerced by the Huns, and then launched an unsuccessful uprising, which obviously failed, and they were deported here, waiting for death without hope...... Then they found the diamonds that kept them alive and the sparkling gemstones, which were believed to be a godsend for them. ”

"What does this have to do with the Red Dragon?"
