Chapter 267: The hotel is just a cover-up
"And when will this blizzard stop?"
"This ...... The climate in Antarctica is changeable and harsh, and you should know that the weather in Antarctica is just like the drastic changes in our face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What then? We can't just wait like this!! ”
"Oh, don't worry, Team Li has already contacted the Chilean Air Force through relevant channels, and they will notify us as soon as the weather is suitable."
"Chilean Air Force!?" Listening to Wang Gang's words, Du Guolong blurted out with some surprise: "What do you mean...... It is the Chilean Air Force that is responsible for our transfer? ”
"yes." Wang Gang seemed to like to laugh very much, and he was smiling again.
"Hehe, your Li team is strong enough, even the Chilean Air Force has been mobilized!!" Du Guolong quipped.
Wang Gang shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be indifferent to this: "It's nothing, didn't our ancestors have a saying that money can make ghosts grind." There's nothing that money can't settle these days. We told them to transport us, and we paid for it. You know that they themselves are responsible for delivering supplies to various research sites in Antarctica. We have all the formalities, and the name of the game is also scientific research. So as long as you give money, it's not a problem. ”
I have to say that Wang Gang's remark that "there is nothing in this world that money can't solve" is still very appropriate.
Indeed, in this human society where interests are paramount, everything is money-oriented, and there is really nothing that cannot be solved with money, and if there is, it is that the price you pay is not enough.
"Dr. Shen, with the help of the military, you don't have to worry." Take civil aviation or sea ferry, these have a set time, and you can't go until the time.
And in the harsh climate of Antarctica, it doesn't matter if the traveler is not in a hurry.
But for a team member like Shen Guoguo, who is full of worries, waiting for one more second is torment.
The military is different, not to mention that the access to relevant climate data alone is not comparable to that of civil aviation.
In addition, the military's mobility is not restricted by relevant rules, and they can take off, land and transfer personnel at any time, so the time is naturally much more flexible.
The only problem...... I just don't know if what the man is saying at the moment is true.
Because it cannot be ruled out that the man deliberately made this kind of weather excuse to shake his side.
After getting the news that he could not go to the South Pole for the time being, Shen Guoguo leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
Wang Gang saw that the atmosphere was solemn, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry about Dr. Shen, Team Li's side and the military emphasized that our side will continue to go there, so as long as the weather conditions allow, they will immediately notify us to go over." ”
"Xiao Wang, where are we going now?" Antarctica is obviously not going to go at the moment, Tang Hongxi asked about the next itinerary.
"Go to my shop." Wang Gang replied.
Surprised again.
However, Tang Hongxi couldn't help but continue to ask.
Under the introduction of Wang Gang, a local guide, the streets and alleys of Punta Arenas, the most populous city in Chilean Patagonia, were twisted and turned.
After walking for more than half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of a shop.
"It's time to get there, hehe, let's get out of the car."
Opening the door, Wang Gang jumped out of the car.
Tang Hongxi and the others looked at each other, then pushed open the sliding door of the van and got out of the car one after another.
At the top of the shop hangs a plaque with the name engraved in Spanish on the plaque, which is not recognized.
Taking out the key and opening the glass sliding door, Wang Gang waved his hand and beckoned: "Don't stand outside, come inside." ”
The interior of the shop is not large, but on the left is the cash register bar, and behind the bar is a container full of goods.
There were drinks, cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks on display.
On the right is a long table that can hold about seven or eight people.
Overall, the store area is not very large.
"Hehe, everyone sit casually, you should be hungry after more than ten hours on the plane, you carry it first, I'll cook some instant noodles for you, warm your body."
When he heard that there were instant noodles, Du Guolong showed a little joy on his face: "Heh, do you still have instant noodles?" That feeling is good, come on, I'm about to vomit when I eat fast food from foreigners. ”
"Hehe, okay, let's do it first."
Wang Gang was very enthusiastic about cooking noodles for everyone.
Tang Hongxi looked at the store carefully, and the more he looked at him, the more strange he felt, and then asked, "Xiao Wang, what are you doing here?" ”
"Can't see it!?" While pulling the instant noodles in the pot, he asked Tang Hongxi a rhetorical question.
"Well, if I look at it, this is a restaurant!?"
"Hehe, I guessed half right, I should say it's a noodle restaurant."
"Noodle shop!?"
"yes, and I only cook instant noodles here."
"Cooking only instant noodles?" The more he listened, the more he wondered, Tang Hongxi said in his heart: Aren't you a national security agent? How to sell instant noodles here? Don't...... This is a disguise?
"How many years have you been in this shop!?"
"It's been around for decades."
Turning around, this time there was no need for Tang Hongxi to ask, Du Guolong swept Wang Gang's eyes up and down, and said with a smile: ", you!?" How many decades have you been running this shop? You're kidding me, aren't you? How old are you today? ”
Wang Gang looks like he is in his early thirties, about the same age as Tang Hongxi, can a hairy boy at such an age open an instant noodle restaurant here for decades?
Du Guolong's eyes were full of doubts.
"Hehe, I'm definitely not good, it's only been a few years since I took over this, and the original store has already returned to China due to health reasons."
"Xiao Wang, take the liberty of asking, what is the relationship between you and Li Guoxiang?" Looking at the current situation of the store, as well as the man's suitable expression, Tang Hongxi had to doubt the man's identity.
Seeing that Tang Hongxi questioned his identity, Wang Gang still habitually laughed and said: "Hehe, what do you say, Xiao Tang, if I were an outsider, do you think Captain Li would send me to pick you up?" ”
Quite a reasonable answer.
Indeed, this trip to Antarctica is a special mission, and with Li Guoxiang's cautious style, it is unlikely that he will send Wang Gang as a response unless he is absolutely trustworthy.
"So you're ...... The people of national security? ”
"Of course. How do you look at me and don't want to? Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Gang continued to laugh.
"To be honest, just you ...... here" Referring to the inside and outside of the noodle restaurant, Tang Hongxi was noncommittal.
"The noodle shop is just a disguise, we are doing special services outside, so we can't swagger and move outside, that would be too eye-catching. As for this shop, it turns out that the owner is a Chinese person, and he originally made this noodle restaurant just to give Chinese people here a chance to eat something from their hometown. You know that we have a special research center in Antarctica. At that time, a member of the scientific research center came here and said that it would be good if they could eat noodles from their hometown. The speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has a heart. The owner later changed the store and turned it into a noodle restaurant. ”
