Chapter 285 - 285 Set Off!
285 Set Off!
With this thought in mind, the plane landed at the international airport in the extreme north.
As the northernmost region of the world, the northernmost region was already covered in ice and snow. It was minus dozens of degrees outside, and heavy snowfall could be seen everywhere. There were colorful ice sculptures everywhere.
Outside the airport, Lucifer’s men were already waiting.
“Lord Lucifer, Lord Beelzebub, Director Chen, you’re here.”
How powerful was the Eden Manor? Behind him stood dozens of burly men in black who obeyed orders. A row of Mercedes-Benz was parked. When they saw Chen Yun and the others, many burly men in black bowed and cheered.
“Don’t do this. I don’t like it very much.” Chen Yun frowned slightly.
“Alright.” Lucifer quickly waved his hand. The young men standing behind him quickly got into the car and left. In the end, only an extended Mercedes-Benz S650 was left.
After a young man opened the door solicitously, Chen Yun and the others sat down.
The extended Mercedes-Benz was like a black ghost as it drove towards the outskirts of the icy city.
“Mr. Chen, this person is the captain of the exploration team and the only one who survived at that time. If you have any questions, you can ask him.” Beelzebub was smarter and knew what Chen Yun was concerned about. Therefore, he brought the person directly to the car.
Chen Yun looked up.
He saw a middle-aged man sitting opposite him. His entire body was hunched, and his eyes were a little dull. He had been in a daze the entire time. The man’s body should have been very strong, but now, he was extremely thin. He was only skin and bones. At this moment, he looked like an old man. Even with the heater, he kept trembling.
“What’s your name?” Chen Yun asked calmly.
The middle-aged man’s body trembled as if he had just realized something. He quickly said in fear, “My lord, my name is Eson.”
“Don’t be afraid. I’m just asking you a few questions,” said Chen Yun calmly. “Where did you discover the Ayton Base? Why are you the only one who came back? Where are the others? Are there any monsters on guard there?”
Seeing that Chen Yun did not seem to be a terrifying person, Eson gradually relaxed.
He took out an exquisite silver hip flask from his pocket and took a sip of vodka. His face was slightly red before he rubbed his hands and said, “We found it in a valley deep in Siberia. Because the boss of the Tianhai Group had always wanted to find new oil fields and minerals, he sent us to the depths of the extreme north. This is because the mineral resources in the extreme north are cheaper to wrap up.” Eson began to recall.
“At that time, there were more than ten of us. Since Siberian tigers, bears, and wolves appeared in Siberia, we all carried hunting rifles. The vice-captain in charge of security was also a sharpshooter who had retired from the military. At that time, we were in a valley and discovered human habitation. Moreover, many people were walking around. Further ahead, we saw some very big houses. We wanted to go in and check, but we encountered monsters.”
“What monster?” Chen Yun’s eyes narrowed as he asked.
“I couldn’t see it clearly.” Eson smiled bitterly.
“At that time, the snowstorm was too heavy and it was close to night. We were all holding searchlights and torches. Moreover, those monsters were too fast, much faster than the fastest cheetah I had ever seen. Every time a black shadow flashed, one of us was bitten away by it. In the end, I relied on the vice-captain of the security team to bring up the rear and escaped with my camera.”
At this point, Eson’s eyes could not help but turn red. He clenched his fists tightly and punched his thigh ruthlessly.
“I… I was useless. In order to cover me, Jack rushed towards those monsters alone with a hatchet, but I selfishly escaped and didn’t even dare to look back… I’ve let them down.”
Looking at the sobbing Eson, Chen Yun shook his head.
This man, who was made of iron, had probably become so skinny because of the guilt in his heart.
Beelzebub, who was sitting opposite him, said, “Mr. Chen, according to my previous conversation with Eson, he really couldn’t see what those monsters looked like. He only knew that they were faster and more agile than clouded leopards. Their howls were like old wolves, and they seemed to be able to walk straight like apes. In particular, their eyes were blood-red, like blood moons.”
“Did they run like leopards, howl like wolves, have figures like apes, and have eyes like blood?”
Chen Yun frowned slightly.
“There’s too little information, so I can’t judge. However, it doesn’t matter. No matter what ferocious monster it is, I’ll crush it with one foot.”
Chen Yun spoke calmly.
“With Mr. Chen’s words, I’m relieved.” Beelzebub laughed heartily. “However, according to my guess, those monsters are very likely to be powerful because the Ayton Base fed the Spiritual Liquid to wild beasts. Alternatively, the experimental subjects ran out. Or perhaps the Ayton Base used these animals to protect their base.”
He had long received the news, but he did not look for that place no matter what. Clearly, he was afraid of those monsters. After all, foreigners were also humans and had fear. Lucifer had never seen these monsters before, so he was naturally afraid. However, it was different with Chen Yun around.
The group of 100 people rested in the icy city for a day and set off early the next morning. As Lucifer already knew where the valley was, these people simply did not bring Eson and the other subordinates. Then, they set off in light vehicles.
After all, they were all people who had undergone the purification of Spiritual Liquid. They could travel hundreds of kilometers a day and it was not difficult for them to run in the snow. For ordinary people like Eson, it was already a blessing to be able to walk dozens of kilometers a day in the snow.
“I have friends in the extreme north. When the time comes, we’ll take a plane directly to the city closest to the valley. Then, we’ll head towards the valley from there.”
Lucifer was very powerful in the extreme north and easily helped Chen Yun get a fake pass. After all, Chen Yun’s current identity was the controller of the Heavenly Spirit Water. Once he stepped into the extreme north with his true identity, it would definitely shake the entire extreme north. In the snow and ice of Siberia, it was the most suitable place to release nuclear weapons. Chen Yun was not willing to provoke the patience of the extreme north.
A hundred people took a plane to Russia.
This city was probably one of the coldest cities in the world. It was located in the middle of Siberia and was the capital of the extreme north. Its population was 220,000, and its residents were mostly people from the extreme north. As Russia was built on permafrost, it was called the “City of Permafrost.”
“This is the nearest big city to that valley. From here, we need to walk for about a thousand kilometers and enter the depths of the Siberian ice plains to find that valley.” Lucifer held the map and showed it to Chen Yun.
At this temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, even those who had undergone the purification of the Spiritual Liquid could not withstand it. Lucifer was wearing a thick cotton robe.
In the end, he was not Chen Yun. Chen Yun’s body had already been cultivated to the point of being almost indestructible, comparable to a person who had undergone the purification of Spiritual Liquid. Even in the extremely cold Arctic ice plains, he could survive for nearly ten years wearing an iron suit.
“Do we still have to walk another thousand kilometers from here? How did their mining team enter?” Chen Yun frowned slightly.
