AL California, AL California is located at the northwest tip of the North American continent, bordering J Nata to the east, and surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean on three sides. Although the vernal equinox has passed, the climate here is still a little cold, and it is a sunny day in ALSGA. Rick and the three came to Anchorage, Anchorage is the largest city in AL California, but the total population is only 300,000, the people in Lillian's family have been waiting outside, outside are three red tracked snowmobiles, this snowmobile looks very luxurious and magnificent, Lilian told Rick that in AL Sky, snowmobiles are the main means of transportation, snowmobiles are safe and comfortable, easy to drive, speed control, known as AL Sky's Grand Cherokee!

After getting into the car, Lilian sat in the cab, and her driving skills looked very skillful, "Every time I come to AL Sga, I will go to Anchorage first, Anchorage is located on the edge of a triangular peninsula, and it is also the east side of Chugach Mountain, you see, there is a blurry black shadow in the distance, that is Chugaqi Mountain." This is northwest of Cook Bay, and the southwest of Tannergan Bay, another small bay, which is also very beautiful and has a very developed farmhouse tourism industry. Anchorage lacks beaches, but there are vast, unpredictable tidal mudflats that can be like a wonderland when the sun goes down. Lillian was in control of the snowmobile as she introduced herself to Rick.

Mike wasn't in the car, Mike was in front of the lead car, Lillian was always following the lead car in front, and there was a bodyguard in the back, and the snowmobile was larger, equipped with a lot of supplies, and had plenty of fuel and food on it. Outside the city is the endless snow-capped mountains, a place with a population of more than 300,000, you can imagine how large the construction area here is. Out of the airport, outside is a very beautiful lake, the lake and the city are connected, the city is very rich in greenery, everywhere is refreshing greenery, in the northern region, the air quality is much better than in the southern region.

Walking along the city's highway, it took a few minutes to get out of the city, and the road here is very novel, and it looks like a project without baggage. The snowmobile was outside for several hours, stopping in a small town, it was already evening, it was very unwise to drive outside at night, if something happened, it was difficult to carry out rescue, and many places in Al Scar also had curfews to ensure the safety of people.

The town is small in size, but it has a strong modern atmosphere, and it is much more modern than the scene on the Siberian Islands. After the snowmobile stopped, a few bodyguards entered a more luxurious-looking hotel, which was not luxurious, but more upscale than the other hotels in town. After Lillian stopped the car, a bodyguard entered the car and locked the car, Rick and McLelianne entered the hotel, the bodyguards had already opened the room, a total of twelve people, and opened four big bed rooms on the second floor, this is not that Mike is more critical of his subordinates, being outside, the bodyguards staying together is conducive to timely assembly and action, if twelve people open twelve rooms, then it seems a little excessive, and even a little contrived.

There are very few guests in the hotel, except for Rick and his party, it seems that there are only five or six, and now they are all having dinner under the hotel, there are two folding round wooden tables in the lobby, and a total of thirteen people sit on the two tables, these people do not pay much attention to Rick and his party, which is not surprising, most of the people who come here are not single people, basically all of them act in groups, most of the people staying in the hotel are tourists from all over the world, some are some expeditions, and the rest are some businessmen who carry out commercial activities, In addition to these three types of people, there are no other identity people, the locals generally do not live in the hotel, can live in the house of relatives or friends, and do not live in the hotel, this is not because the hotel is not safe, but because the price of the hotel is too expensive, as mentioned earlier, most of the people who live in the hotel are outsiders, which is unexpected The price of the hotel will not be cheap.

"The four of you live in the room on the far left, Rick and Lillian you two next to them, me and Lin next to you, understand?" After Mike went upstairs, he took a look at the room and said that the rooms on the second floor were single-sided, similar to ancient inns, and modern hotel rooms were relatively double-sided, and it was for this reason that Mike had this consideration.

Several subordinates did not answer, this is also Mike's style of doing things, Mike likes to be quiet, the most annoying thing is, say a word by yourself, and the people below answer together, which seems to be a bit hierarchical, there are only friends to do things here in Mike, and there is no subordinate, which is also the reason why the Mike family has been prosperous although it is engaged in the underworld business.

Lillian and Mike were a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was actually more reasonable, the two youngest people lived together, and it was a little inconvenient to change to someone else.

After entering the room, Rick found that there was only one water container in the bathroom, and there was no facility to put water, let alone a shower. Probably not, Rick wondered. "Are all the hotels here like this, and the water facilities are backward?" Rick asked Lillian.

Lillian walked over and looked at it, showing a surprised look, "Not normally, I often come to AL Sga, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of situation, maybe it's more special here, hey, I'm outside, just bear with it, anyway, I'll go back immediately." ”

Rick couldn't help but give Lillian a thumbs up in his heart, he didn't expect this kind of rich girl to be compromised, I have to say that Lillian rewrote Rick's view of the rich second generation in his mind. Two people came to the bedroom, found that the bedroom is very luxurious, the light emitted by the chandelier above the head is very clear, the decoration in the room is comparable to the bedroom of the three-star hotel outside, the bed is Simmons, there is heating in the bedroom, there is a white more than 30-inch large color TV hanging on the wall, the room is pasted with exquisite wallpaper everywhere, open the curtains, you can see the snow mountains outside even at night can be seen very clearly, now it is almost summer, the outline of the snow mountains is more obvious.

There was no condition to wash, so Lilian went to bed early, Rick locked the outside door first, and then locked the bedroom door before Rick came to bed, Rick was no longer shy, maybe a few months ago, but now that he has experienced so much, he may be a little numb. Now the temperature has plummeted, it is already more than 20 degrees below zero outside, and it is still getting cold, and the heating in the room makes the atmosphere warm.

There is a newly released sci-fi blockbuster on the color TV, and the two people lean against the head of the bed, keeping a slight distance, staring intently at the TV.

"Well, you seem to have very few friends." Lillian asked.

Rick thought for a moment and said, "Nobody likes me." ”

"Do you like me, then?" Lillian bowed her head.

Rick looked at the ceiling, not knowing how to answer the question, and thought, "It's a secret that can't be said. ”

Lillian leaned on Rick's ear and whispered, "I like you!" ”

Rick couldn't help but feel a little happy, but he couldn't show it, this was the goddess he had dreamed of! Rick leaned on Lillian's ear again and whispered, "I like you too." ”

Lilian's face was full of happiness when she heard it, this night still didn't happen after all, Rick was very happy, but he still chose reason, and he couldn't be carried away by happiness.

When the day dawned, Rick opened his eyes and found Lillian resting on his chest with his arm on his back, love coming so fast that it was like a tornado, and there was no time to escape, and there was nowhere to hide......

After the bodyguards replenished the state of the convoy in the town, the car was on the road again, this time Lillian did not drive again, but sat in the back with Rick, this road will take some time, super long driving, Lillian can't bear it, and walking on this ice and snow, a few minutes will make people have snow blindness. In his spare time, Rick saw the bodyguard sitting in the cab, a black hard object attracted Rick, it was a pistol, last night there was a bodyguard carrying a black travel bag, Rick suspected that there were some firearms inside, and now it confirmed Rick's conjecture. It seems that being a boss is not easy, and you have to be on guard all the time, the reality is much more cruel and cruel than what you play in those gangster movies.

Along the way, Lillian and Rick didn't say much, and the two of them were busy admiring the snow outside, and a few hours later, the snowmobile passed through several more towns, and there were many dilapidated little outposts along the way, probably built in ancient times to communicate with each other.

After a seven-hour long journey, Rick finally saw a black and oppressive temporary tent, this is the perimeter of the Coalition Government Headquarters, there are at least a thousand tents here, and they are all relatively high-end, and they are completely a building after being propped up, and there are all kinds of advanced tents with different functions such as wind protection and heating, and there are entrepreneurs everywhere, it seems that there are some smart people here.

There are also many coalition government troops, at least a few hundred people, maintaining order here, and helicopters flying in the sky from time to time, it is really a lively scene. The three snowmobiles drove directly into the camp, and after finding an open space to stop, Mike instructed the two bodyguards to find a crowded place to bundle up the tent.

"You two follow me, and we'll go to the head of the coalition government." Mike said to Lillian and Rick.

"Oh, you're still afraid that we'll run away?" Lilian had a little emotion.

Mike glanced at Rick, who immediately leaned towards Mike, and the group began to walk towards a green super tent, which looked like it was bursting out, covering an area of several thousand square meters, just like a simulated building. The green top of the tower, with fine stripes, is engraved with the pattern of the earth's umbrella, and it is not known what kind of material it fills.

There were more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers at the entrance, and they were visible to the naked eye, and there were more than a dozen soldiers standing guard on both sides of the entrance, Rick followed Mike, Mike showed his ID, a soldier took it and gave it back to Mike, the soldier asked Mike and everyone to look at a camera in front of him, which should be an eye scanner or facial recognizer, and about a minute later, a non-commissioned officer major came out of it, "The identity has been confirmed, ten can enter." ”

When Mike was about to step in, he was suddenly stopped, it was still the soldier, "I'm sorry, I have to search my body before I go in, please raise your hands." ”

Rick's heart was beating faster at this time, and there were guys on those bodyguards! What to do now, the little heart is pounding, at this time it is no longer Rick's turn to worry, a group of soldiers stepped forward and began to search everyone, because Lilian is a woman, so a female soldier specially examines Lilian.

Feeling the soldiers in front of him touching his body from top to bottom, Rick's heart was about to jump out of his throat, but after some inspection, it didn't appear as Rick expected, and the group of soldiers didn't search for the bodyguards. Could it be that these people deliberately released the water, or did the bodyguards have a stunt? But that's impossible, if the metal products are on the body, how can they be checked, it is impossible to release water, and no one knows Mike, and now there is only one possibility, that is, Mike ordered the bodyguards to put their weapons in the snowmobile in advance.

Thinking of this, Rick relieved. Once it was confirmed that it was safe, the soldiers let him go, and Rick remained with Mike. After a long passage, Mike tried to enter, but was stopped again.

"Bodyguards and inconsequential people stay, there is no need to go in so many people." That's what the Master Chief who has been leading the way said.

In this way, the seven bodyguards remained outside, only Lillian Rick and Mike entered, and after entering, Rick found that the inside of this kind of tent looked larger, quite a kind of Harry Potter magic feeling, and the emptiness above his head made Rick praise in his heart.

The area inside the tent is large, there are more government workers, just one hall in front of this, it looks like there are more than a hundred service personnel of the United Government, this is a hall stacked with plastic and glass, there seem to be several more inside, different halls represent different areas, such as commercial areas, leisure areas, residential areas, factory areas, etc., this is like a stock exchange. Mike wanted to open a few luxury hotels here, so Rick and the three came to the business district, and after going around here, they didn't find the window to manage the hotel, and after asking the service staff, Rick learned that the business he wanted to do was actually in the leisure area. Has staying in a hotel become a leisure activity?

The three of them came to the leisure area and found that more than half of the people here were on the windows of the hotel, and the other dozen or so windows were a little lonely and cold. Rick took the initiative to line up, and Lillian followed closely.

At this time, a middle-aged man came to Mike's side and looked at him carefully, "You, are you Mr. Mike?" The middle-aged man looked surprised.

"Yes, I'm Mike."

The middle-aged man was extremely excited, he walked quickly to a counter, and after a few words with a government official, the government official came to a window and said a few words to the staff at that window.

The middle-aged man trotted over to Mike's side, "Mr. Mike, please come with me, and we will handle the business for you immediately!" ”

Mike didn't know the man in front of him, "Who are you?" ”

"An offer you can't refuse? Don't you remember? The middle-aged man looked happy, "At the beginning of LS Vegas, I couldn't recover the debts under the LS Vegas, and you helped solve them, have you forgotten?" I'm Kenani! ”

"A real estate agent?" Mike couldn't remember a little, "I have the impression that there was such a thing, the one you came to my office and said you were going to give me 10 million M yuan?" ”

The middle-aged man was even more excited, "That's right, that's right!" That's me, that's me! ”

The middle-aged man pulled Mike to the window, "This is my son, it is precisely because you helped me recover the account back then, I successfully passed that difficult period, this official is my son, and now he works in the coalition government, now what business do you want to handle, you can do it directly here!" The middle-aged man patted his chest and said.

Rick and Lillian also came over, and seeing that something was wrong here, Rick stood in front of Mike first, looking like he was going to go up the mountain and down the sea of fire for Mike.

"Who are these two?" The middle-aged man asked.

"This is my daughter and my son-in-law." Mike said categorically, without any hesitation.

"It's good, Mr. Mack, you were really the god of that time, your mysterious identity, hidden in the shadows, the top light in your office, the deep eye sockets, and the unfathomable eyes, you were the savior of that era!" The middle-aged man seemed to notice that he was a little off topic, "Mr. Mike, do you want to open a hotel here?" ”

"Yes."

"Come, hurry up and choose a site, now every minute may finalize an area, the later it is determined, the faster there will be less safter-for-demand land!"

Mike sat down, and the staff handed over a mobile phone, on which was the layout of the new city, and the various lines were clearly marked and could be accurate to every centimeter of land.

After looking at it several times, Mike didn't find any good location, the hotel must be built on the main transportation line, and there must be an airport, train station, bus station, subway and other transportation hubs nearby. It's better to be close to entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, and secondly, there must be enough foot traffic, otherwise the hotel's business will not be much better. Now the places that meet these elements are occupied, and now the remaining places are built with a big hotel, which will definitely lose a lot of money in the early stage, and I don't know when the city will enter the profit stage after it expands. Mike put down his phone, but he didn't expect to be a step too late.

"What's wrong? Don't have a place to look? The middle-aged man looked at Mike and put down his phone and asked with a serious face.
