Chapter 42: Arrival in Iceland
"Chen Fan, there is very bad news." Trevor said a little embarrassed.
"What? It's not bad news for me that no one is dead. Chen Fan didn't care.
"The three of us don't have enough money for the plane ticket to Iceland, so you need to pay for it when the time comes." Trevor said with a smothered face.
"Oh, it's okay, anyway, there should be a big dog sponsorship in this operation, no need to save, buy what you want." Chen Fan thought it was something, for him, money was not a matter.
"Really? That's great, let's go now. Trevor was overjoyed to hear that the money was not bad.
Soon the three of them arrived at the airport, and then began to check in and board the plane in order.
"The flight is six hours, so we can sleep and adjust to the jet lag." After the three of them sat down in a row, Trevor suggested.
"Trevor, what are you looking at?" Sean watched Trevor curiously as he flipped through the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" that his father had left for Trevor.
"Oh, there's some markings your father left on it, I'll try to crack it." Trevor continued to gesturing absentmindedly.
"The word ......," Sean took out his PSP and searched, "Look, Ai Jichen, the director of the Institute of Modern Volcanoes. ”
"Well, the modern Internet is a really good thing." What he couldn't figure out after researching for a long time was done by his nephew in minutes, Trevor said that he was embarrassed.
"Then our first destination is this institute." Sean said happily.
Looking at Chen Fan, who was sleeping like a dead pig, Trevor said uncertainly: "I think so." ”
The plane arrived at Reykjavik airport on time after 6 hours.
Chen Fan, who had slept comfortably, stood up and stretched, and then walked off the plane.
"Crooked? Frank, we're here, what about you? What the? Arrived? Okay, we'll pick up our luggage and come over. Hanging up the phone, Chen Fan tilted his head and looked at the uncle and nephew on the side.
"Let's go, they've arrived, let's go directly to the hotel to meet them."
The three of them took a ride to the hotel where Frank was staying to check in.
'Bang bang bang' Chen Fan knocked on the door of Frank's room, "Frank, open the door, I'm Chen Fan." ”
A moment later, the door opened, and Frank appeared behind it.
"Wow, Frank, I haven't seen you for half a year, why are you ten years older." Chen Fan gave Frank a warm hug.
Frank dodged and let the three of them into the room.
"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Trevor, his nephew Sean, and the clue is what they provided. This is Frank, the leader of our expedition, oh, and that's his son Josh. Chen Fan introduced several people to each other.
"Hello!" *4
After several people shook hands with each other and got to know each other, they got to the point.
"Chen Fan, you really guessed correctly, Carl was really interested in this, and gave us an advance of $1 million. However, the last exploration of the Mother of Caves scared him, so he didn't plan to come in person this time. "Frank had good news at the beginning.
"Very well, our first destination is Trevor from Ai?"
"It's the Institute of Modern Volcanology of Agison." Trevor looked at the unreliable Chen Fan speechlessly, wondering if he had found the wrong person.
"yes, that's it, Frank, let's rent a car tomorrow and get to the institute first." Chen Fan clapped his hands.
"Okay, I don't have any opinion, we still need to purchase some special equipment tomorrow, it's midnight now, let's rest early." Frank thought for a moment.
"What do young people want to rest, that's the business of you middle-aged and old people. Sean, Josh, let's go, brother will take you to chic. After speaking, Chen Fan led the two young men out.
"Hey, Chen Fan, Sean is only thirteen years old, so he can't go to those places." Trevor tries to stop Fan.
"Don't worry, although Chen Fan looks very improper, he is very reliable, let them go and have fun, and get acquainted with each other by the way." Frank, who knows Chen Fan, explained.
"Okay, listen to you, do we two middle-aged and elderly people want to have a drink?" Trevor said helplessly.
"I'd love to, let's go?" Frank smiled and agreed.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Chen Fan slept until he woke up naturally, because he took the two young people to find a Chinese food stall last night, so it was already noon when he woke up.
After washing, Chen Fan came to Frank's room. When I knocked on the door, I found that everyone was ready.
"What's this? You're so early! Chen Fan said embarrassedly.
"You slept like a pig and couldn't wake up." Josh didn't have a good breath.
Last night, he thought that Chen Fan would take him to the bar to be happy, who knew if he was going to the food stalls, and now he is angry.
"Okay, okay, don't look like you're bitter and hateful, you must know that Sean is only thirteen years old, and I can't take him to that kind of place." Chen Fan hurriedly reassured.
"Okay, everything is ready, it will take us more than two hours to drive over there, and we have to look for specific places, so we have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dark." Frank interrupted the two.
The group of five left the hotel and got into Frank's rented SUV and headed for their destination.
"Frank, you're right, right? Is there a research institute here? I now have great doubts about your professional competence. Chen Fan looked around at the endless plains and complained.
"Well, I also came here based on the information given by the official, and besides, I'm not a tour guide, I'm the cave leader." Frank excused himself in embarrassment.
"What's the difference? It's all one person leading a group of people to see the scenery, but one landscape is developed and the other landscape is wild. Chen Fan squinted at Frank.
Frank thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case, which was even more embarrassing, it seemed that he was not professional.
"Do you think it could be that?" Sean, the youngest in the group, pointed to a log cabin in the distance.
"It's a snow hut, right?" Josh wasn't sure.
"Whatever, let's go over and see if there's anyone first, and by the way, inquire about the institute." Trevor walked straight to the cabin.
When I got closer, I saw a sign standing on the side of the wooden house, "Agison Institute of Modern Volcanoes." Sean slowly read out the words that were written.
"Hahaha, this? Institute of Modern Volcanoes? Was it an illegal building in the institute, and then it was demolished? Chen Fan pointed to the wooden house and smiled.
"Who are you?" At this time, a delicate girl with a shotgun stood at the door, watching everyone vigilantly.
"Eh, hello young lady, can you put down your crime tools first, we have no malicious intentions." Chen Fan pointed to the girl's gun and said.
The girl didn't pay attention to Chen Fan, still looking at a few people vigilantly.
"Hello, it's like this, we are a scientific expedition team, my name is Trevor, I am from the United States, they are my companions, Chen Fan, my nephew Sean, Frank and his son Josh." Trevor stepped forward to explain.
"Hello, my name is Hannah! But is there something you're doing here? Maybe it wasn't easy for Trevor, Hannah asked as she put down her gun.
"That's right, we're here looking for a scientist named Ai Jichen." Trevor explained what he meant.
"He's dead!"
"Dead?"
"Yes, dead, died one winter three years ago!" Hannah affirmed.
"Are you now the director of the Institute of Modern Volcanoes?" Trevor doesn't give up.
"There is no modern volcano research institute anymore, it is a thing of the past." Hannah explained.
"And who are?"
"I'm the daughter of Ai Jichen! Come in first! After making sure that the other party was coming, Hannah stepped out of the way and invited everyone into the house.
