Chapter 704: A Difficult Journey
Beginner mission three, which has been released for more than seventy-two hours.
Cheng Yu was still living in Ekarina's apartment, and he was well prepared to leave for the Yablonov Mountains in the east of Ulan-Ude early the next morning.
From here, it is about a hundred and fifty kilometers to the base camp of Maxim, located in the Yablonov Mountains.
According to the road conditions in Russia, Cheng Yu expects to be able to reach the vicinity of the target location in about three hours.
Of course, the car could not drive all the way in, he had to walk into Maxim's monitoring range, otherwise, a car would break in in a grand manner, and Maxim was afraid that he would be fully prepared.
In fact, it is unlikely that Cheng Yu will drive the car directly into it, Maxim's base camp is definitely a very secret place, just those rugged mountain roads, not Cheng Yu's 3,000 US dollars bought, legally scrapped but rescued by those who buy and sell black cars.
This is destined to be an uphill battle, and Cheng Yu's only advantage is that Maxim would never have imagined that someone would find the location of their base camp, let alone that a guy like Cheng Yu would dare to kill it single-handedly.
Moreover, Cheng Yu basically has no plan to speak of in the face of this battle.
His only plan was to hope that he would not be discovered by the other party when he infiltrated Maxim's camp, and he hoped to rescue Zhuang Yi's children first without alarming Maxim.
This seems to be the best plan, as long as Zhuang Yi's children are rescued, Cheng Yu can go on a killing spree, with the firearms and martial arts given to him by the system, Cheng Yu can become a killing god without caring about the gains and losses of points. And as long as Maxim and his most powerful subordinates (at least one person) are punished in a brutal manner, Cheng Yu can keep at least 50% of the reward content of this mission. And if Maxim has two right-hand men by his side, Cheng Yu can at least let the rewards of this mission be completely spent.
Of course, it is the best plan to be able to identify more culprits, but the problem is that Cheng Yu can't torture all the people in Maxim's mercenary army to death in an extremely inhumane way, right? Theoretically, this is naturally the best way, so there is no need for Cheng Yu to identify any, but Cheng Yu can't do it.
Not to mention that Cheng Yu is just a single person, even if he brings a large army, it is impossible to do it, after all, Maxim and his men are outlaws, and they will resist.
But even so, the best plan that Cheng Yu expected may not be able to go smoothly.
The reason is very simple, Zhuang Yi's daughter doesn't even know who his father is, and his son, the boy called Diandian, was only two years old when he was kidnapped by Maxim, and he almost can't remember his biological parents, unless Maxim has never lied to him all these years.
It's not impossible, but it's too slim.
Therefore, even if Cheng Yu successfully infiltrated the camp and found Zhuang Yi's children, it might be difficult to persuade them to leave this dangerous land with him.
And as long as these two children are still in Maxim's camp, Cheng Yu will not dare to mess around. Not to mention that the bullet may accidentally injure the two children, as long as the fire is handed in, Maxim will soon realize that Cheng Yu is the person invited by Zhuang Yi, and when the time comes, he will inevitably use these two children as a shield, and Cheng Yu will enter a dilemma.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to bring these two children out of danger, Cheng Yu must also give it a try.
The most infuriating thing is that Cheng Yu can't use any coercive means against these two children, that is, he must let these two children follow him willingly.
The more time it came to the actual operation, the more Cheng Yu was able to realize how difficult this mission was.
This is the primary mission stage, and even if it is the last mission in the primary mission stage, this difficulty seems to be a bit excessive.
Not to mention that there are hidden tasks in the task, in the past, the task object could not be forced, but this time it is good, the NPCs in the task cannot be forced, and the best result is only the doubling of the task reward, Cheng Yu is really a little angry.
The duration of the task is only fifty days, even if Cheng Yu completes the task as soon as he receives it, the final reward is the doubling of the reward of the primary task stage itself and the doubling of the reward brought by the hidden task, then it is only two hundred days, which is about the same as the maximum reward that can be obtained by an additional task.
But no matter what, it is useless to be pretentious with the system now, and Cheng Yu must put all his energy on this task.
Cheng Yu knew that once he launched his action tomorrow, no matter whether the first step to rescue Zhuang Yi's children was successful or not, he would definitely do it directly with Maxim's gang. Once handed, the battle situation must be divided in the shortest possible time, Cheng Yu can't afford to delay, once the other party escapes (of course, the possibility of Maxim leading the crowd to escape is almost zero, after all, they are outnumbered, it is impossible to imagine that they will be wiped out by a single enemy), Cheng Yu will find it difficult to find a chance to complete this task.
Although the possibility of Maxim leading the crowd to flee is extremely low, Cheng Yu still cannot afford to take such a risk.
This also means that if he starts tomorrow, he will be able to take Zhuang Yi's children to return to China the day after tomorrow.
Therefore, it is necessary for him to inform Zhuang Yi now that someone on the dark web has already taken over this task.
At dinnertime, Cheng Yu made a WeChat voice call to Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Yi answered the call almost impatiently.
"Cheng Shao, is someone ......?"
Zhuang Yi was really anxious, he even omitted the necessary politeness and greetings, and directly asked him the question he was most concerned about.
Cheng Yu interrupted Zhuang Yi's words and said, "Yes, someone replied to that post, so I think you may need to go to Lake Baikal and take out the things you hid there." ”
Zhuang Yi was overjoyed, he said: "Then my little bit ......"
Cheng Yu interrupted him again and said: "For this order, we have confirmed the order requirements with the other party in detail, and the other party also said that we will rush to produce the goods 100% in accordance with the order requirements." And the only requirement of the other party is that once their order is completed, you must pay as soon as possible. You know, this kind of hand-made order, they can't sell it to somebody else, so the payment has to be secure. ”
"Okay, then I'll book the ticket now, please tell the other party if you trouble Cheng Shao, and I will pay on time." ”
Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, although it was just an ordinary-looking call, and normally wouldn't be noticed, but he still hoped that the conversation would be as short as possible, so as not to be discovered.
After going downstairs for dinner, Cheng Yu went to bed early.
Tomorrow is bound to be a hard and highly mentally stressful day, and Cheng Yu needs an excellent rest.
I woke up at half past five in the morning.
Cheng Yu took a shower, changed into a combat uniform purchased in Ulan-Ude, packed all his belongings except firearms, and put them on the table in the living room of Ekarina's apartment.
He left a note for Ekarina, telling her that these things were kept with her for the time being, and that she should keep them for her.
After buying some food and water at a supermarket near downstairs, Cheng Yu drove the car and followed the destination pointed out by the navigator he got from the Mongolian helicopter at high speed.
All the way to the east, this section of the road was relatively easy to walk, but just a hundred kilometers later, Cheng Yu drove off the road and began to enter the mountain road.
The speed of the car has decreased significantly, and on the highway, Cheng Yu can still maintain a speed of seventy or eighty kilometers per hour, but after entering the mountainous area, his speed has dropped to more than forty.
According to the navigation, Cheng Yu began to drive north along the mountain road, the road became narrower and rougher, and the speed of the car became slower and slower.
After more than two hours from Ulan-Ude, Cheng Yu found that he was still more than 20 kilometers away from the final destination on the navigation. And he has traveled at least thirty or forty kilometers after entering the mountains, which means that the one hundred and fifty kilometers shown on the map will be extended by at least one-third because of the mountain roads.
After another hour, Cheng Yu realized that his vehicle was almost impossible to move forward. The mountain road was bumpy to the point where his car often bumped into the ground with the chassis and there were too many potholes on the road.
Looking at the navigation, there is still a straight line distance of about ten kilometers or so from the final destination.
Cheng Yu got out of the car and looked around for a long time, and he judged that if he continued to follow this mountain road and wanted to reach the final destination, it would take more than 20 kilometers to go to the least, and if he chose to hike over the mountain next to the road, it would be the shortest path.
Even though he knew that going over the mountain would consume a lot of physical strength, Cheng Yu could only choose this.
Continue to walk along the mountain road, after more than ten kilometers, he will still have to abandon the car and walk, and then there will still be more than ten kilometers of mountain road waiting for him, which may not be easier than the current mountain. Even the word mountain climbing has become a little creepy because of a recent TV series.
Stuffing the guns and bullets into a backpack, along with some water and food, Cheng Yu put the bag on his back and began to climb the mountain.
Although there is no road, fortunately, the mountain is covered with greenery, and it is not too difficult to climb.
When he saw that the top of the mountain was not far overhead, Cheng Yu decisively used a "martial art" to forcibly improve his physical fitness to a level comparable to Captain America, and rushed to the top of the mountain quickly.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the ten minutes of martial arts only consumed more than six minutes.
With his unparalleled physical fitness, Cheng Yu's eyesight has also reached a terrifying level, and among the dense woods, he seems to have seen some traces of architecture in a basin at the bottom of the mountain.
Cheng Yu knew that there was basically his final destination, that is, where Maxim's base camp was located.
Looking at the navigation, Cheng Yu was less than four kilometers away from the base camp at this moment.
There were still more than three minutes left in the duration of the martial arts, and Cheng Yu didn't want to waste it, so he didn't care about resting, just hurriedly took a sip of water, and began to fly in the direction of going down the mountain.
A vertical leap is seven or eight meters, with the help of trees to reduce its speed, and then continue to jump downward.
After more than three minutes, Cheng Yu felt extremely tired in his body, and he used martial arts in the past, but he almost never really developed the effect of martial arts to the limit. And this time, it is clear that everything has been exhausted.
He knew that his current physical condition was very worrying, and he had to stop and rest.
After sitting down, Cheng Yu looked at the navigation, although now because of the reduced height, he could no longer see the camp buildings he had seen before, but the navigation showed that he was only about a kilometer away from that destination.
It was indeed time to rest, Cheng Yu leaned against a big tree and lay down.
