Chapter 6 Chapter 3 The Forest I Can't Get Out of (Part 1)

It took more than nine hours to fly from Germany to Moscow. The guardian girl was always like a puppet, and she just looked at me in a daze without blinking and didn't move.The three Russians sitting around us were amazed at this perseverance. In the beginning, I was a little mentally weak when I was watched by her, but I was watched for a long time.Although I ignored her, I was still a little apprehensive when I got off the plane. After all, I didn't know how she would blame Zhou Zhiting, but the guardian girl never mentioned it, as if she had completely forgotten about it. I lowered my eyes and read the local newspaper in boredom.Since it is a Russian flight, there are very few English publications on the plane, and I really can't understand Russian.

Sighing lightly, from the moment I got on the plane to now, I always have a strange feeling. My intuition tells me that this trip must not be as simple as I imagined.Forget it, which of your own incidents has been easy?There were indeed very few clues about his cousin Yefeng. I chatted with Kudryash in a seemingly endless manner, and I didn't get any useful clues from this tight-lipped guy. As for the communication with the guardian girl, I really can't do it.She likes to look at me quietly, she listens to me when I talk, but basically doesn't express her opinion. Soon I was yawning, but unfortunately I couldn't sleep anyway.

To be honest, the unknown is the most terrifying situation. The more I can’t know about my cousin’s condition, the more I can’t get more information, the more uneasy I feel. It was hard to get off the plane, and before we could recover, our group boarded another flight to Siberia. Siberia is a vast expanse of North Asia within Russia.It starts from the Ural Mountains in the west, reaches the Pacific Ocean in the east, borders the Arctic Sea in the north, reaches the mountains in the central and northern parts of Kazakhstan in the southwest, and neighbors China, Mongolia and South Korea in the south.

The plane continued to fly in the north direction, seeing the unpredictable shape of the white clouds in the stratosphere like the ocean, the three Russians finally confided a little information. "Our destination is the Oymyakon Basin." Kudriash said sullenly. I took a deep breath, "That place is so cold that it couldn't be colder. It is said that the annual average temperature is below minus fifteen degrees." "It's not that exaggerated, it's only ten degrees below zero at most. Now the coldest time has passed, even at night it's only thirty degrees below zero."

This guy has a distinct lack of humor. "It's almost here, should you tell me about my cousin? Look, I can't escape." I asked again. "I don't have the authority to answer this question. When we arrive at the temporary base, the chief will naturally weigh the matter of explaining for you." Not only does this Russian guy have no sense of humor, he doesn't even have the basic sympathy for a human being.Depressed, I secretly slandered him in my heart. The Oymyakon Basin, located in Eastern Siberia, is one of the "cold poles" in the northern hemisphere.

The plane stopped at the suburban airport in Yakutsk, and when we walked out of the airport gate, there were white snow and cedars everywhere. Pieces of cold woods and houses without any warm colors are sparsely distributed around, which looks very depressing. Kudryash looked at his watch, "In five minutes, someone will pick us up at the train station. We have to take a 500-kilometer train to get to the base." Before I could protest with the guardian girl, he was already heading for the exit with his luggage.The other two Russians followed closely behind us, making surveillance movements.

The guardian girl frowned, and I immediately held her hand, signaling her not to act rashly with my eyes. There is no benefit in fixing these three guys now, it will only make enemies with the other party's organization.Although I have never been in contact with it, it seems that this organization can train highly militarized talents like Kudriash and others. Perhaps, there is also the support of Russian warlords inside. Five minutes later, the two off-road vehicles arrived as expected, not more than a minute, not less than a second.The people in the car greeted the three of Kudriash, and then drove me and the guardian girl into the car as if packing luggage.A group of people hurried towards the train station.

The people in the car spoke a very local Russian accent. They chatted one after another, and glanced at us from time to time. With naked desire. These sights made the guardian girl very uncomfortable. If I hadn't been secretly pulling her, I'm afraid she would have lost her temper. For a journey of 500 kilometers, the train drove all night.Siberia at night is very quiet, only the sound of rumbling and slight shaking in the train carriage. Due to the time difference with Germany, the frozen land had only just fallen into the night.Looking out from the window of the carriage, I can only see the dim light reflected by the white snow, the sight is very poor, and there is nothing left except the vast expanse of whiteness.

The entire carriage was covered by Kudriash, and at both ends of the carriage, there were three people blocking the entrance and exit respectively.I don't know whether it is to prevent others from entering by mistake, or to prevent the two of us from escaping. In short, after arriving in Russia, the Russians became mysterious and nervous one by one.I can't understand Russian, but I can feel the contempt and surprise at the beautiful face of the guardian girl and some unsavory words from the Russians who came to us. I endured all these silently, there was no way, after all, I was more worried about my cousin's safety.

As if sensing my worry, she snuggled up to me like a little girl guarding her, and fell asleep at some point.But her eyelashes trembled from time to time, obviously she was asleep, and her arms hugged me tightly, so hard that I couldn't break them apart. I sighed slightly and touched her head. There was nothing to say all night, when the morning sun dyed the deserted Siberian snowfield red, the train stopped. There were seven sledges parked outside the station, reflecting the cold metallic luster in the sun.Standing beside the sledge were several men in off-road suits, each of whom carried a small submachine gun on their shoulders in a big way.

"It's going to be replaced by a sled." Not many people in this pair know English. Although Kudriash is not good at English, it is enough to communicate with me. "Well, okay." I nodded and pointed to one of them casually, "I want the red one." I have also driven a sled in Germany. It is very simple. Besides, a car can only accommodate two people. Like a motorcycle, the people behind can only hug the waist of the front. The guardian girl is definitely unwilling to sit with others. "Can you drive a sled?" The Russian was a little surprised. Seeing his reaction, I frowned slightly, "Of course I will." "Wait a minute, I'll discuss it with my brothers." Kudryash leaned over and muttered to the people in front of the sled for a while, and then came over, "Okay, you go and drive. But try to stay in the middle of the team, you are an important protection object ordered by the officer, and you are also Feng's Relative, I don't want anything to happen to you." These words are emotional, but also threatening. I was noncommittal and motioned for the guardian girl to follow me into the car. She hugged my waist, showing a rare smile on her cold face, her astonishing beauty almost melted the surrounding snow, and also made the Russian beside me stupefied. This little girl definitely did it on purpose. I know her intentions very well, she just wants to seduce those guys who have long disliked her, as long as they get rough, she can logically repair them without caring about my orders. The cold wind howled fiercely. Although it was daytime, the surrounding temperature was still below minus 20 degrees.Fourteen of us, seven cars, were speeding in the icy wind. Even wearing thick winter clothes, we still couldn't resist the cold air. After riding for a while, I felt that my blood was almost frozen. The car moved along a silver-belt-like river. It was said to be a river, but in fact most of the places had been buried in the snow, and only a little bit of liquid water could occasionally be glimpsed, proving the existence of the river. The four cars in front carefully rode on the ice to explore the road. They may not be locals, and they seem to be unfamiliar with the surrounding road conditions, relying entirely on GPS navigation. I also took out the GPS I carried with me to check the geographic location.The full name of the river at the foot is Indigirka River, which is formed by the confluence of the Hastach River and the Yuriakh River, twists and turns to the north, and finally flows into the East Siberian Sea.The current position should be somewhere upstream.Since I don't know the destination, I can only speculate about the location. After riding for an hour, the team started to leave the river and walked into the coniferous forest. The Oymyakon Basin is neither big nor small, and the surrounding mountains are about 2,000 meters above sea level.The absolute annual temperature range of 10.8 degrees is one of the regions with the largest annual temperature range in the world, and it is also the most uninhabitable place in the world. The climate and conditions are far worse than Greenland. It is definitely difficult to travel long distances by relying on the sled boat under the buttocks alone as a means of transportation, so I guess that the base that Kudriash said should be within a radius of 50 kilometers from the train station. The guardian girl behind me didn't feel cold at all, she hugged me tightly and asked with concern: "Cold?" "Can you bear it." I answered bluntly, but I was already shivering from the cold. Seeing my deflated appearance, the Russian guy on the side laughed maliciously again. I snorted coldly, held back my anger, and didn't have the same knowledge as them. After riding forward for more than an hour, Kudriash, who was at the forefront of the team, suddenly stopped the car.His face was a bit weird, chattering with the people beside him in Russian, they had a discussion, and in the end they all looked incredible. "They are in trouble." Even the guardian girl saw the abnormality of those people. "There must be something wrong." I rubbed my chin and smiled maliciously. "What's wrong with them?" she asked. "It's hard to say. Look at those Russian guys holding GPS and getting excited. I'm afraid they went the wrong way." I have a big smile.Seeing these nasty guys deflated, my mood immediately improved a lot. Not long after, the discussion in the team came to an end.No one came to explain to the two of us. Kudryash handed over the position of team leader to a person behind him. He looked at the GPS in a daze, as if he was thinking about something. The team leader continued to drive forward on the sled, and another hour passed like this. My originally relaxed expression gradually became serious, and my brows began to frown. Finally, I couldn't help it anymore, even though I knew that the team would listen to me. There must be very few people who suggested it, but I still shouted: "Stop, stop." Most of the people in the team could not speak English, but the word stop was still clear. They looked at each other on the sled boat at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, without any intention of stopping. So I shouted again: "Doesn't anyone feel that we have been circling in place?" Kudriash trembled when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he called the whole team. stop. The seven sledges stopped again in the woods. The towering cedars are sparse, the light leaks from the gaps between the trees, the cold air, the white snow, this Siberian scenery that is not normal anymore, at this moment, in my eyes, everything makes me feel ashamed. People feel that something is wrong. "You mean, we're going in circles?" Kudriash got out of the car and came up to me. "Yes, obviously." I nod. "But if you go around in circles, there should be traces left by our last drive on the ground." He glanced at the road in front of him, except for the white snow, there were no traces on the ground. "We are indeed going around in circles, and there are no traces on the ground because we haven't finished the circle. If we go a little further, I'm afraid we can see the tracks left by the sled boat on the ground." I pouted. "How do you know?" He obviously didn't believe it. "It's very simple to prove my words, just go a little further." I took out the kettle and took a few sips of hot water. This coniferous forest is full of disharmony, which is not simple. Kudriash was puzzled. He turned around and translated my words. The Russians in the team didn't believe it either. Some even laughed out loud, mocking me very much. I didn't explain much, and got on the sled quietly. Whether you listen to my advice or not, and whether you need to prove my words or not, the team still needs to move forward.Kudryash ordered the team leader to move forward. Not long after, the team stopped suddenly again. Everyone in the team gasped. On the snow not far away, there were messy traces, which turned out to be the place where the convoy had just driven.After driving for two hours, after a circle, the convoy returned to its original position. "What's going on here?" Kudriash turned pale, "Damn it, I've walked this road no less than ten times, and I still have GPS navigation in my hand, how could I get lost?" But getting lost has become a fact. I looked at the sky, there were dark clouds, no sunshine, it was almost noon, and the gloomy weather was very uncomfortable.Fortunately, there was no snow and the conditions were not too bad. "This should be where we enter the dense forest." I walked to his side and said slowly: "But if you look around carefully, you will definitely find something strange in this forest." "What's wrong?" Kudryash looked around nervously, and after a short while, his whole body trembled, "How is it possible, the way we came in is gone!" Yes, judging by the traces, this should be the entire team The starting point of entering the dense forest, that is, from here, we circled around and returned to the original point. Originally, we could find the way to the forest from this position, but the nearby snow field was so clean that it was disgusting. On the white snow, except for a forward trace, the backward direction was the way we circled back, and we could no longer find it. It's the third trace. That is to say, the entrance disappeared inexplicably. After Kudryash told the situation to his companions behind him, these burly men gradually became uneasy, but they were well-trained and did not panic, but decided to move on and find a way out. I didn't stop me, I just tore off a strip of red cloth from my clothes and tied it to a conspicuous tree, then followed the team and left. An hour and a half later, we stopped again.The place where they stayed was unexpectedly under the tree tied with red cloth strips, and the team unexpectedly returned to the original point. This time, I also felt the seriousness of the matter.
