Text Chapter 707 Maozi and Wine
"Grant, do you see? The big red ship. On the docks outside Longyearbyen, a porter suddenly stopped what he was doing, patted his companion's arm, and pointed toward a large ship in the distant sea.
The companion named Grant put his hand on his forehead, and his face suddenly became fierce.
"Raised by a bitch, could it be them?" He scolded fiercely.
When the ship approached, the two confirmed that the person who came out was an "old friend" who had dealt with them.
Neither of them forgot the scene of that winter night, when an organized army entered the port of Wales, and the "invaders" not only killed some of their comrades, but also destroyed almost all the ships in the harbor with bombs.
Grant and Jonny were both pirates in the port of Wales at the beginning, and after Xu Yihang and others raided the port at night, the camp they set up there instantly fell into chaos. The next day, before dawn, there was a looting of supplies, and Bradley, the boss of the camp, was shot dead in the chaos, and it was Grant who killed him.
"Those Chinese people ruined our lives," Grant gritted his teeth in his heart. The port of Wales was on the verge of collapse after being attacked by the raiding force sent by the "Snow Dragon", when the people who were still alive in the port looted the remaining supplies in the warehouse, and those who did not catch up when they were too late were some starved to death, while others chose to surrender to those who had more supplies and continued to survive.
Later, the Mi people also attacked there for the safety of the transportation route, and unlike the "Snow Dragon", those Mi soldiers who attacked the port were regarded by Grant as benefactors and saviors. The arrival of the "Snow Dragon" broke the order there, and the arrival of the Mi army saved the pirates who were on the verge of death.
The pirates were grateful for the troops from their homeland, but hated the people on the big red ship. When they saw the Snow Dragon again in the harbor of Longyearbyen's City today, both Grant and Jonny's eyes radiated with hatred.
Taking advantage of the fact that the "Snow Dragon" sailed into the port, Grant and Johnny went to contact other companions who were working in the port, these were all pirates in the port of Wales, and they were directly sent here to work after being absorbed by the Chinese.
It was already winter when the "Snow Dragon" arrived in Longyearbyen, and at this time last year, the Isfjord was almost frozen, but this year's situation is different from previous years, because now more than a dozen countries are transporting supplies to Longyearbyen through this fjord, so everyone who can afford to send icebreakers to deal with the situation that the sea in the fjord is frozen.
The itinerary of the "Snow Dragon" was fast and smooth, because Wang Puhong did not make any stops on the way. The wharf in Longyearbyen is not like Ny-Ålsund, it is recessed in the fjord, and the original size of the wharf is now the result of later expansion.
Down to the land, the members of the "Snow Dragon" are relieved, the long journey of the "sea" is actually a kind of torment for most people, taking the "Snow Dragon" is okay, its size is large, in the process of sailing is stable, not easy to cause seasickness symptoms. But the feeling of being bored on the boat for dozens of days is not comfortable, everyone can only play basketball when they are on the boat, sing the KTV brought by the ship to relieve the boredom, and now they are back on land, and the camp in front of them also makes everyone's eyes shine.
This can no longer be described as a city and a town, the scale of the camp is beyond everyone's imagination, and its modern and simple style is a little out of place with the original red, red and yellow houses of Longyearbyen.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, next to the camp, a road that leads to the mountainside is full of cars like marching ants, and there are electric street lamps on the side of the road, and when the sky is dark, people can see from a distance that the lights scattered in the mountains are better than the stars in the sky.
"Is this the polar region?" The girls watched from the pier in a daze.
"Whew~, it's so cold," Meng Jie rubbed his hands and quickly put back on the gloves hanging around his neck.
"It's so beautiful," the lights of the camp are reflected in the ice and snow of the mountains and rivers under the canopy, and the whole city presents a strange scene of night and lights.
When they went to their accommodation, they didn't notice that some of the porters on the dock were watching them. The snow on the road has been cleared in advance, and the person in charge of the camp has made a lot of preparations to ensure the safety of supplies and equipment during transportation.
The places to live for people from all over the world had already been planned, and Chen Bin and the others came to their residences without much effort. It's already a safe place, there were zombies in Longyearbyen, and there were polar bears nearby, but these threats have been cleared by the military personnel in advance, and now the only thing that can harm everyone is the bitter cold.
The accommodation is well insulated, as there is a power station near the camp, and the town of Longyearbyen, built on the coal mines, has no shortage of fuel for the production of thermal power. When the door is closed, the coat on his body is about to be taken off, and the temperature inside is maintained at about 25 degrees, which is in stark contrast to the dozens of degrees below zero outside.
"It's warm," after arriving at the place where I lived, the staff of Huaguo sent warm drinks and drank the hot tea into my stomach, which made people feel warm from head to toe.
"It's really amazing to be able to build this scale in three months." When you are on the dock, everyone is already very shocked, and when you enter the house, the supporting facilities inside are even more staggering. They may look only slightly better than normal, but their usefulness is several levels higher than that of civilian use.
There are the best infrastructure teams in China, as well as the world's most advanced interior decoration technology, and some non-civilian black technologies are also widely used in the camp, in order to create the most suitable living environment for the resident members in the shortest possible time.
"After all, it's a gathering of the power of the whole world, even if it's just the post-disaster world." Everyone rested, and on the first day of here, they had not yet been assigned tasks, so Chen Bin and the others spontaneously went to familiarize themselves with the environment in the camp first.
The management gave everyone a card representing their own identity, and this card has many functions, and it will be used for everything in the camp, such as eating, bathing, etc. For the sake of saving materials and environmental protection, we can take a bath no more than once a day, and we need to register and make an appointment in advance by swiping the card to eat, because there is not only a canteen in each country's own region, but also a catering center in the camp, and it is okay to go there to improve the taste.
In response to the work needs of some personnel, the camp is also equipped with snowmobiles, and if you want to leave the camp, you must report in advance and say how long you will stay outside. Outsiders will also carry a satellite locator with them, so that in case of an accident, the people in the camp can find themselves as quickly as possible.
"The last time we met a polar bear and a wild deer here, the taste of the wild deer is a little better than that of the polar bear, and the meat of the polar bear tastes a little woody."
"Wow, you still eat wild animals?" Chen Ting is an animal protectionist, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Da Fei talk about eating wild deer and polar bears.
"Of course they eat, they come to our camp, and if they are killed, they don't eat and lose it, isn't it a waste?" Da Fei slammed his mouth, as if he was still reminiscing about the delicious taste at that time.
"Okay, as long as you don't kill indiscriminately," Chen Ting didn't care, although she was persistent, she was not rigid. Compared with some people who actually make money in the name of protecting animals, she really likes animals and nature.
Perhaps due to the influence of her sister, Chen Cailing also liked animals very much, and she also went to work in a pet store for a while, but this time Chen Cailing had no chance to accompany her, so she couldn't see the honor of these endemic polar animals.
"It's okay for a wild deer, you can chase it and it knows how to run, but the polar bears are much more ferocious, and when we came by land from New Ålsund, we met a lot of polar bears along the way, and they were stuck in the road, so we had to throw some food away to divert them. Their bodies,, like a small tank, crashed into the body of the polar rover. Da Fei's words made the two girls speechless, but what he said was not an exaggeration at all, if humans encounter a hungry polar bear alone in the wild, the chance of survival is almost zero.
"So just like the staff member said just now, don't hang around outside the camp if you have nothing to do, even if you don't look for trouble, things can come to you." Chen Bin has been to Longyearbyen City, and he has a deep understanding of the staff's admonitions, and he also patiently reminds everyone in the face of first-time visitors such as Meng Jie and Chen Ting.
After settling down, everyone made an appointment to have dinner, the location of the catering center was not on the side of the Chinese camp, and everyone didn't know the place, so they ordered meals in the canteen in their own station.
In the cafeteria, Chen Bin met several familiar faces. Those were a few of the Giprops he had met at the Houston Institute, Victor, Alexey, and others he couldn't remember names anymore.
"Hey," the Jeplos saw Chen Bin from afar, they were from the Alpha Special Forces, and their memory and staring eyes were top-notch. The strong man Victor beckoned to Chen Bin, and patted the table in front of him enthusiastically, motioning for them to sit down and eat together.
"Damn, how can Maozi eat in our cafeteria," Meng Jie also had an impression of those strong Jepsies, because he was almost killed when he fought with Maggie that time, but fortunately, it was these Jeeplands who came to scare Maggie away.
"Didn't the management say before, as long as you book in advance, you can go to any canteen to eat." Chen Ting reminded him.
After receiving their own meals, everyone sat together, and when they spoke, Chen Bin realized that Qiao Xingyu, the translator, was missing this time.
Fortunately, Guo Lingling's English is quite passable, and there is no problem in dealing with basic communication.
After asking, it turned out that these soldiers of the Jepsy special forces came here to eat because of the second pot head of Huaguo.
For the men of the fighting nation, everything eaten is a side dish, and wine is the main meal.
