At ten o'clock in the evening, Yuanbing 008 entered the Snow Mountain Tunnel, and after driving for a while, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and finally Yuanbing 008 actually stopped.

Huo Chi found that the narrow single-lane tunnel was already full of vehicles, and the exit in front of him was blocked by roadblocks.

Many humans and subhumans, armed with heavy weapons, are inspecting one car after another, and the vehicles can only be released after the inspection, due to the large number of vehicles and the lack of inspectors, when it is the turn of Yuanbing 008, it is completely dark.

The cold wind was blowing in the tunnels after dark, and everyone on the Snow Leopards had already changed into thick coats, but they still felt cold.

"How can there be monsters in your car?" the inspector saw the hive and stabbed it with the barrel of a gun.

"For research, the monsters inside are very stable, and they generally don't attack people. Huo Chi hurriedly explained, he watched distressedly as the inspector poked the beehive again, and after the person felt that there was nothing abnormal, he stopped holding on to the hive.

However, Huo Chi also found that Xiao Jian opened the window just now and stuffed something in the hands of the inspector in front of him, and the man rubbed it with his hand and seemed to be more satisfied, so he shouted loudly to the people behind: "Okay, no problem, let it go." ”

The barricade was removed, and Xiao Jian activated Yuanbing 008 and passed through the tunnel.

"You gave them money?" asked Huo Chi after the car had passed the obstacle.

"Yes, it's 10,000. Xiao Jian said: "When it comes to the excavation period, there are countless cars coming and going every day, and these guys can make a lot of money with this." ”

"This is not a customs clearance fee that must be paid, right?" Huo Chi suddenly felt that this place was very different from other regions, and the people in charge of checkpoints in other towns were all city defense troops, although these city defense troops had a bad attitude, but there were no bribes among them.

But this place is different, the people in civilian clothes are in charge of inspecting the vehicles, and they even openly ask for bribes.

"Of course not, this money is for honoring these guys, alas! Usually it only takes a few hundred or thousands to live, and when it comes to the peak season of digging, these guys' appetite has become greater. Xiao Jian shook his head and said, "When I come out, it is estimated that the asking price will be doubled." ”

Huo Chi blinked when he heard this, according to the number of cars he saw this evening, he could roughly calculate the number of vehicles crossing the border here in a day, not to mention several thousand. If each car pays tens of thousands of transit fees, these guys can earn tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars a day.

Sitting on the ground and asking for money, this money is too easy to earn, right? None of the passing vehicles resisted, and they were left to collect the money, which shows that this group of guys, who look like rangers, is actually quite powerful.

"Didn't anyone protest against the payment?" asked Huo Chi curiously.

"This is the way to enter the Northland ruins, and if you don't want to pay the money, you can go over the mountain by yourself. But now the snow line has long since moved down, and the blizzard on the mountain is so terrible that people can't climb it. Therefore, everyone would rather pay the money than miss the excavation period. Xiao Jian explained: "Don't look at them without military uniforms, they look like civilians, but they are actually good mercenaries." ”

"It turned out to be a mercenary. "Huo Chi thought about it, the mercenaries here have nothing to do with the red wolf, right?

"They don't earn the money themselves, they have to hand it over when the time comes. Xiao Jian said: "The excavation management office here makes a fortune from this. ”

"So the quality of the felt they bought is much better than ours?" Huo Chi understood why there were so many soft and warm felts on the truck where they were hiding before.

"yes, but they don't use the felt. Xiao Jian parked Yuanbing on the side of the road, and he took out a map from his arms and looked at it carefully: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't remember the road a little." ”

Huo Chi looked forward, but found that there was nothing to see in front of him except for some scattered low buildings.

Now that it is getting late, and the sparse lights make this place seem very lonely, is this a group of ruins in the excavation period?

When Huo Chi was wondering, Fu Ze suddenly spoke: "I don't know if your friend is on duty tonight." ”

"Who knows. Xiao Jian closed the map and said, "Let's try our luck at the management office first, it's best to find out about him, otherwise we will have to sleep in the car tonight." ”

Xiao Jian drove the car back onto the road, the snow on the ground was very thick, and the car drove past and made a strange creaking sound. Yuanbing 008 was running hot air, but the temperature in the car was still only about ten degrees, which showed how cold it was outside.

After about twenty more minutes, Xiao Jian stopped in front of a small rock house, and Huo Chi noticed that at the door of this particularly small house, there was a stone pillar made of basalt, on which the words "Management Office" were carved in white eagle and Chinese characters.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look. Xiao Jian raised the collar of his coat, opened the car door and walked down. However, even though he had closed the door very quickly, the cold air outside suddenly poured into the car.

"He! It's so cold outside, it's minus 40 degrees outside now, right?" Fu Ze looked at the dimly lit small house with some concern, and secretly prayed in his heart, but he must find that Xiao Jian's old friend, otherwise he would really freeze to death if he spent the night outdoors in this ghost place.

After a while, Xiao Jian ran out of the house, and he gestured with his hand to let everyone get out of the car: "Don't turn off the fire, don't turn off the fire." Xiao Jian didn't forget to remind the people in the car not to turn off the engine in order to save fuel, otherwise it would be really difficult to light the car again in the north at night.

Everyone quickly got out of the car and followed Xiao Jian into the small room without saying a word, Huo Chi walked at the end, and he was communicating with the bumblebee in the car: "Are you cold?"

Bumblebee replied with a message similar to that it didn't matter, and Huo Chi followed everyone into the room. I have to say that the monsters are much stronger than humans, and everyone in the Snow Leopard Team has only stayed outside for more than ten seconds, and they are all so frozen that they can't even speak, but Bumblebee has no problem at all.

minus forty degrees, even Huo Chi, who had strengthened his body, felt a little cold, he casually closed the small wooden door behind him, and when he looked up, he found that the inside of the room looked even smaller than the outside!

The five members of the Snow Leopard Team entered the room and instantly filled the space inside the room.

Behind the desk, the only piece of furniture in the room, a sheep-shaped subhuman looked up at the group, looking a little dissatisfied.

The sheep man moved the small stove on the table to the side: "Well, there are too many of you, let me go and ask if it's okay first." ”

Xiao Jian said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay." ”

The sheep man said as he removed the chair under his ass and bent over the floor. Huo Chi was surprised to find that there was actually an entrance and exit to the underground in that place!
