Chapter 248: Horror of Siberia

As Yang Jing's final words came out, the fat man and the six of them all screamed excitedly, and Clark even whistled, and for a while, Yang Jing's room was filled with all kinds of ghosts crying wolf howls.

Whether it is a Chinese or a European or American, almost every normal person has a dream of a treasure map in their hearts. It's not about wealth or anything else, it's purely because of the stories I heard about all sorts of treasures since I was a child.

From "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" to "Grimm's Fairy Tales" to the mysterious Pirate Treasure of the Caribbean, almost everyone has heard these stories or similar stories when they are young, so people's thirst for treasure is actually generated from a very young age.

It's just that whether it is the treasure of Alibaba or the treasure of the Pirates of the Caribbean, it is not so easy to obtain, so this desire of most people can only be a dream and can never be realized.

And now, right in front of them, the treasure map of the legendary last tsar suddenly appeared, how could this not make them excited?

In the morning at the flea market, they all witnessed another "treasure map", and it was very likely to be the legendary Pirate of the Caribbean treasure map, although they were very excited at the time, but in fact, they also knew in their hearts that this illusory treasure map was not real. Perhaps the two torn parchment charts were just one of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

But this treasure map in front of you is a treasure map, which not only shows the specific location of the treasure, but also the source of these treasures - these treasures are from the treasure house of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II!

It's only a part of it, even though it's only two cars, but it's definitely something that can go crazy.

"Old Yang, let's go to that Kolchak Island to find the treasure! My Grandma Taishan, I'm about to lose control now!"

Lin Dan and Chris, although they didn't speak, the eagerness on their faces was obvious.

Yang Jing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I really want to go, but it's January, are you sure we want to go to Siberia in this season?

Yang Jing's words were like a basin of cold water poured head-on, and several people immediately stopped squeaking.

Just kidding, going to the region north of the Arctic Circle, and the Siberian region, where the conditions are the worst, in the coldest month of the Northern Hemisphere, is no different from looking for death! In that vast and inhospitable land, in this season, minus 50 or 60 degrees is common, and it is not strange to catch up with extreme weather and give you a low temperature of minus 70 degrees.

In this extremely low temperature environment, even ordinary steel can freeze and crack you, let alone people.

If you dare to go out when the cold snap in Siberia is raging, death is probably your only end!

Many people say that the northern part of Siberia in January is no different from the Antarctic in July!

Even the most powerful expedition members would not have chosen to go to northern Siberia at this time.

Chris is worthy of being the captain of this bodyguard team, he was the first to recover, snapped his fingers and said: "The boss is right, if we venture into the northern region of Siberia at this time, it will be a rather stupid decision! Damn the northern regions of Siberia, even colder than the northern regions of Alaska. ”

George Bruce shuddered, as if he remembered something, "Chris is right, I remember four years ago I went to Barrow, the northernmost city in Alaska, with one of my employers, and there was a delay due to something, and by the time we wanted to come back, there was nothing we could do. ”

After a pause, George Bruce recalled with a frightened expression: "We arrived in Barrow in October, but in that season, the temperature in Barrow had reached more than minus 20 degrees. My employer had planned to finish his work within a month and rush back to China in November, but things didn't go very well, and it dragged on until late December. ”

"My employer wanted to rush home for Christmas, and the day after we were about to return, a snowstorm came!"

"Damn, that blizzard sent the temperature in Alaska plummeted by 20 degrees in just 12 hours, and in northern Alaska, especially in Barrow, the temperature dropped to minus 60 degrees!"

"The port of Barrow was completely closed, the sea was covered with dozens of centimeters of ice, and the Wylie Post Will Rogers Memorial Airport was also closed, and the one-meter-thick snow covered the whole of Barrow. The funny thing was that my employer wanted to go out to enjoy the snow in this climate, and the fool stayed outside for more than two hours, and the end result was that all three toes of his left foot and two toes of his right foot were amputated due to deep frostbite. ”

"George, didn't you go out with you?" Lin Dan asked.

George smiled bitterly: "How could I not go out with me? For us bodyguards, the employer's order is the supreme instruction, my employer has to go out, and I naturally have to protect his safety on the side, and the result is ......"

George took off his shoes, removed his socks, and everyone gasped.

George Bruce is missing two toes on his left foot and one toe on his right foot.

"See, I also lost three toes from the freeze. George let out a long sigh and said, "In that extreme cold, you don't even notice that you're getting frostbitten, and by the time you realize something is wrong, it's too late." We just stayed outside for more than two hours in the low temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius, and the price we paid was the loss of a total of eight toes!"

"So guys, the boss is right, if you want to go to the northern region of Siberia in this season, it's not to hunt for treasure, it's to look for death! The climate in northern Siberia is far worse than that of Alaska! It's like there are cities such as Wayne Wright and Alpine near Barrow, but in the northern region of Siberia, there is no man's land at all, no one can live there for a long time, even the best scientific expeditions will not enter that area in winter. In this season, that area belongs to Satan! There is a horror there that you can't even imagine!"

George Bruce said these words and said no more, and the room fell into a strange silence.

Yang Jing clapped his hands, breaking this strange silence, "Guys, I won't give up this treasure map, and I want to invite you to go with me." It's just clear that we can't move this season, otherwise we'd end up even worse than George......"

Several people let out a low chuckle, and Yang Jing continued: "That's it, wait until June, I will lease an Arctic research ship in June, and then we will set off after we are fully prepared." I don't think there would have been the kind of disaster George had experienced in that season, and in that season we would have been able to go on a treasure hunt without considering the bad weather. What do you say?"

Chris smiled and said, "I don't care, I just want to keep the boss safe while he's on a treasure hunt." ”

The fat man nodded and said, "I don't think my fat body can withstand the cold of the North Pole. It seems that in that climate, even polar bears have to lie down in their dens to hibernate honestly, and I don't think I'm more frost-resistant than polar bears. ”

Several people laughed again.

Yang Jing said: "It seems that we have reached a consensus, so okay, let's wait another half a year! Now, you are not allowed to think about this matter, and it is best not to talk about this matter, the principle of confidentiality must be understood by you, so I will not say more." I'll let you know in advance as soon as I decide to go!OK?"

"OK!" everyone replied in unison.

Yang Jing put away the eight gems and the treasure map, and said to Chris: "Chris, as well as John, Clark, and George, we have been in contact for a long time, and as an employer, I am very satisfied with your work." But I'm going to go back to China for a while, I don't know if you're willing to follow me back to China?"

Hearing this, Chris and the others looked at each other, and Chris asked, "BOSS, do you mean that you plan to hire the four of us for a long time?"

Yang Jing put the small box containing the eight gems and the treasure map into the suitcase, then looked up at Chris and the four of them, and then said solemnly: "Yes, I just plan to hire the four of you for a long time! You all know that I am more or less a rich man now, and I must pay attention to my own safety now." And your work during this period is obviously quite in place and quite professional, and I am very satisfied with your work, so I plan to hire you as my bodyguard for a long time. ”

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "Of course, in addition to treasure hunting, I generally don't easily do things that may endanger my life, even if it is a treasure hunt, I will make the best preparations before acting." After all, no matter how much money you have, if you don't have that life to spend, that money will be a pile of waste paper. What do you say?"

Looking at Chris and the four of them, Yang Jing thought for a while and said, "If you agree to my invitation, then regarding your salary, I plan to temporarily set it at 500,000 US dollars in the first year, of course, I mean one person." If you are willing to follow me in the future, your salary will be increased by 15% per year. I think this salary should be worthy of your work. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing could clearly see that the eyes of the four of Chris and the others lit up. But Chris still said, "BOSS, please give us a little time to discuss, okay?"

Yang Jing smiled and nodded, "I think this is no problem!"
