Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure, Karlmai
"Mr. Chuck, when you auctioned this painting, was this what it looked like?" asked Li Xuyang, who was standing there looking at Chuck. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chuck nodded, "That's how it was when I bought it, it wasn't touched." ”
A few decades ago, what Yan Shuangfei and Wei Xiaohu saw was Jade Mountain, and the location of the treasure was also in Jade Mountain. But after this painting was circulated abroad, it actually pointed to the Karmai Snow Mountain, will the treasure still move?
"What should I do? Do you want to go to Karmai Snow Mountain?" Ji Zhe saw that he needed it here and asked for his opinion.
Li Xuyang doesn't know, but according to the current situation, if you don't go to Kalmai Snow Mountain, you may not be able to find out the truth. But whether the truth is in the Kalmai Snow Mountain is another unknown.
"I advise you not to go. At this time, Chuck said suddenly.
"Why?" asked Weitu.
"The Kalmai Snow Mountain is covered with snow and ice all year round, and it is unknown where it is. There are a lot of people here who go on an expedition to Kalmai, but they never go back. Chuck explained.
There is a great mystery in the Kalmai Snow Mountain, and after the explorers went, none of them were able to return. Even if the search team was used, it was ultimately in vain, not to mention that the bodies of those people could be found, and even the traces of their visits no longer existed.
What beasts are in the snowy mountains, how many they are, and how many species are there, these are all unknown. Because no one goes to the Kalmai Snow Mountain to explore these, I don't know because of the size of the Kalmai Snow Mountain, but it is full of dangers, which also makes many scientists shy away.
The only thing is that you can only use no man-machine to take a picture of the whole picture of the Kalmai Snow Mountain.
"We don't have a map of the Kalmai Mountains, and we don't know what's there, so don't rush forward until we find out about it, lest we risk our lives. Jiang Botong reminded that it is not worth it to let so many people follow the adventure for the sake of an unknown snow-capped mountain.
"If you want to go, I can give you some outside help, but I want one condition. Chuck said as he looked at them with a smile.
"What conditions?" asked Ji Zhe.
"If there's a treasure, we're fifty-five. ”
"You're insatiable. Li Xuyang looked at Chuck with a look of disdain.
"No, I'm a businessman. Businessmen have the rules of businessmen, and I helped you, but you can't give it for nothing, can you?" Chuck laughed.
"Then tell me how you can help us?"
"Helicopters, ten bodyguards, fully armed, snow suits, mountaineering gear. ”
"Helicopters?"
Everything else isn't very tempting, but helicopters are a very good condition. In this way, they do not have to walk 200 miles by car, but can go directly to the Kalmai Snow Mountain. As for the bodyguards, to put it bluntly, they are to spy on Li Xuyang and them, in order to prevent them from fleeing without permission after getting the treasure.
Armed with this should be a must. If those explorers rushed into the snowy mountains without weapons, then the survival rate would be very low. Not to mention the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, if you suddenly get lost in the snowy mountains, it will be very fatal.
Snow suits, made of special materials. It can keep the temperature of the body, even if it is more than ten degrees below zero, the snow suit will adjust the temperature of the body according to the harsh environment outside. Snowsuits are very expensive to build, selling for more than $50,000 just here.
Now that you have the conditions to go to the Kalmai Snow Mountain, and Chuck's support, why don't you go and have a look? Anyway, those bodyguards will protect your safety. Even if something happens, they will go out of their way to protect themselves.
"It seems that Mr. Chuck didn't want us to go at the beginning, and his purpose was to negotiate terms with us, and then you are funding us, in fact, you want to get the treasure, right?" Li Xuyang looked at Chuck and said slowly.
Chuck didn't believe in any treasure at first, but it felt like it was a fantasy. But now, seeing Li Xuyang's fearless look at Kalmai Snow Mountain, they made up their minds. Sponsor them yourself, and if you have any treasure, you will divide it evenly. He not only made a bet with Li Xuyang with them, but also made a bet with himself, betting on whether Karl Mai had any treasures.
"Now that we have Mr. Chuck's funding, let's set off on a day to find out what is going on in the Kalmai Snow Mountain. Li Xuyang said. And the others have long been prepared, and they all look high-spirited, eager to go now.
"You guys stay here, and I'll find someone to clean up a few rooms for you. With that, Chuck walked upstairs.
After watching him go upstairs, Jiang Botong whispered in Li Xuyang's ear, "Be careful of this person, I'm afraid he will have other purposes." ”
Li Xuyang nodded noncommittally, he didn't have to agree to go by himself at first, but he immediately encouraged himself to go, is it really for the treasure? I'm afraid it's not so simple.
After having dinner at Chuck's house, they each returned to their rooms.
"Dangdang Dang"
As soon as Li Xuyang lay down, he heard a knock on the door, and after coming to the door, he opened the door.
I saw Chuck standing in front of the door, and after seeing Li Xuyang open the door, he immediately walked in. Li Xuyang didn't know what he wanted to do, seeing him walk in, this is also his home, he didn't say anything, and then closed the door and asked.
"Mr. Chuck, what's the matter at this late hour?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you when you're leaving. Chuck replied, but he kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.
"Mr. Chuck, are you looking for something?" Li Xuyang looked at him and did not answer his question, this is his home, and it always feels strange that he makes such a move.
"No, no. Chuck hurriedly smiled, then sat down in his chair and looked at Li Xuyang, wanting to get the answer he just asked.
"Mr. Chuck, your Chinese has improved a lot. Li Xuyang deliberately bypassed that question, but he always felt that the Chuck in front of him seemed to be a different person, and even his Mandarin was not so blunt, but he was very proficient.
"Heh, where, where. ”
"If there are no surprises, as soon as the funding you are proposing is forthcoming, we will go immediately. ”
"That's the best, and may we succeed in our cooperation. Chuck stood up, shook hands with Li Xuyang, and left.
Where is Li Xuyang standing, what does this Chuck want to do? After thinking about it to no avail, he went to rest.
The next day, Chuck was standing in the courtyard, and a helicopter was parked in the wide courtyard. After seeing the helicopter, Tong Le was ecstatic and came to the helicopter, and then touched it with his hand, looking very happy.
"I bought this helicopter two years ago, and on top of it, it was remodeled. More motivated than ever before, and with an increase in speed. Chuck looked at his helicopter with a look of pride.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of neatly dressed men in black stood on the side of the plane. The men were all heavily armed, dressed in uniform and covered with black cloths.
When Chuck came to them, he said to them, "You have to do your best to do what that Mr. Li Xuyang has to do, you know, and if you come back this time, you will be rewarded with a great deal." ”
"Yes, sir. Ten people saluted Chuck neatly. In the eyes of Li Xuyang and others, these people are not mercenaries or thugs, but more like people who have been soldiers and have been trained.
"Everything you need, it's in the back of the helicopter, and any one of the ten of them can fly the helicopter, okay, my friend, good luck to you. Chuck finished speaking, and then leaned back.
Nine of the ten people got into the helicopter, one sat in the helicopter driver's seat, and Li Xuyang also sat in the passenger seat.
After waving goodbye to Chuck, the helicopter that Li Xuyang and the others were riding in began to slowly rise into the air.
"Put on your headphones, otherwise the propellers are too loud to hear each other's conversations. The masked bodyguard sitting in the driver's seat said to Li Xuyang, and he used Chinese, very proficient in Chinese.
Li Xuyang put on the headphones, and then looked behind him. The four people in the back of their line were also wearing headphones, but the other nine people were sitting there with guns in their hands, and they couldn't see what expressions on their faces were because they were covered by the cloth.
"How long will it take to get to Kalmai Snow Mountain?" asked the driver with headphones.
"About forty minutes. The driver replied, and then on the right-hand side, he pressed the navigation, locked the destination, and then lay down directly in the back and closed his eyes.
This move startled Li Xuyang, but he didn't feel that the helicopter was descending, but it was moving forward at a very steady and uniform speed.
"Don't worry! This is an autonomous vehicle, as long as the positioning is completed, as long as there is no storm, it will reach the destination safely. Ji Zhe said on the earphones, which reassured Li Xuyang.
More than half an hour later, the appearance of the Kalmai Snow Mountain appeared in front of Li Xuyang, this snow mountain is very large, at least it looks like this from a helicopter. There are no plants, there is just snow.
"Fly around the snowy mountains and find a place to land. Li Xuyang said to the driver.
"Okay, no problem. The pilot did as Li Xuyang said, and drove the helicopter to fly in the Kalmai Snow Mountain for a week, and after a week, it flew for almost half an hour.
"Alright. ”
After hearing Li Xuyang's words, the pilot descended the helicopter, but stopped when it was still more than twenty meters above the ground.
"You can't go down, otherwise the propeller will blow up the snow on the ground, and if you get inside the plane, you will destroy the helicopter. The driver looked out the window and said.
"Okay then, lower the rope ladder, let's go down from here!" Li Xuyang walked around the seat and came to the back. After throwing down the rope ladder, a person climbed the rope ladder to the ground.
