Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively turned to look at Huo Shaoheng.
She knew that Song Jinning was in the Tunguska region, but she didn't know that the Russian physicist was also in the Tunguska region.
What were they going to do?
And the KGB's personal protection …
It probably wasn't that simple.
Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes and patted Gu Nianzhi's head, then pressed her into his arms. As if he understood her confusion, he said calmly, "They can do their research, and we can do ours. There's no conflict."
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng wasn't telling the truth. She pursed her lips and rubbed her head in Huo Shaoheng's arms, but she didn't continue asking.
Many of the people accompanying Song Jinning were field personnel from the Special Operations Forces, so Huo Shaoheng wasn't worried about Song Jinning's safety.
However, the fact that Russian scientists had also interfered was indeed beyond his expectations.
However, he was used to keeping a straight face, so although he was surprised, he didn't say anything. It was as if he had already known about all this.
Vladimir's expression was a little ugly.
He had kept the news secret for so long. Did Huo Shaoheng already know?
In fact, not only were Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi surprised, but even the driver and Lina were surprised.
"… You mean, we still have a mission, not to protect her …" Lina pointed at Gu Nianzhi. "But to protect our country's scientists?"
Vladimir's expression became amiable as soon as he spoke to Lina. He nodded. "Yes. You're mainly responsible for protecting Cereus, and the rest of the operation team is responsible for protecting the scientists from both countries. "
As he spoke, Vladimir glanced at Huo Shaoheng. "Of course, Major General Huo should have made arrangements, so our main task is to protect our country's scientists."
Huo Shaoheng shook his head calmly. "Our country's scientists are doing field surveys in your country. Don't you also have to protect their personal safety?"
Vladimir didn't believe Huo Shaoheng's words, but he still had to put on a show.
He nodded solemnly. "Got it. We will protect your country's scientists."
Huo Shaoheng looked down at Gu Nianzhi and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
He had taken Gu Nianzhi to the Tunguska region because he wanted to take her out on a trip. Of course, he also wanted her to spend more time with Song Jinning.
Song Jinning had always liked Gu Nianzhi. After the two of them got to know each other, they would get along better.
Because Vladimir wasn't very happy, Gu Nianzhi didn't mention going to see Lake Baikal again.
However, she took out her phone and texted Huo Shaoheng: [You have to go to Lake Baikal with me alone in the future.]
Huo Shaoheng felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and was speechless.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi, who was nestled in his arms and texting him energetically. His lips curled into a smile and his left hand pressed "okay."
It was a simple word, but Gu Nianzhi was immediately happy.
She sent a kiss emoji to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng put his phone away as if nothing had happened and wrapped his arms around her. "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."
Gu Nianzhi felt strange when she heard that. She was the one who had just said something to Huo Shaoheng, so why was it being returned to her so quickly?
However, she did not struggle.
The middle-aged driver heard it from the front and drove at a steady and even speed. There were no bumps at all.
Gu Nianzhi gradually fell asleep amidst the long rhythm of the jeep's natural ups and downs.
After she fell asleep, no one in the car spoke.
Occasionally, when Vladimir coughed, the middle-aged driver would glance at him and remind him in a low voice, "Cereus is sleeping. Don't wake her up."
Vladimir had no intention of waking Gu Nianzhi up, but he had only cleared his throat. Couldn't he even satisfy such a basic physiological need?!
He was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish again!
..
The jeep sped along with the three modified Hummers and finally arrived at the place where the big explosion in the Tunguska region had occurred before sunset.
Lina jumped out of the car first and asked for a simple instrument to measure it. She said expressionlessly, "60.55 degrees north latitude, 101.57 degrees east longitude, and the Tunguska River is in front of us. This was the place where the big explosion happened. "
The epicenter of the explosion that happened more than a hundred years ago was right here.
Huo Shaoheng stroked Gu Nianzhi's head and whispered in her ear, "… We're here."
After a while, Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
The jeep had stopped, and she was not used to it.
"We're here?" Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and sat up straight.
She stuck her head out and looked out, just in time to see the golden afterglow of the setting sun shining on the distant hills.
The mountains in the distance were undulating, and there were towering trees everywhere. Their branches and leaves were thick, and the setting sun was like a beautiful red bloodstone falling among the mountains.
Nearby, however, was a round plain. Trees from high to low surrounded the area.
Their car was parked at the entrance to the circular plain.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and was very curious. "This is where the Tunguska explosion happened?"
"Yes." Huo Shaoheng opened the door and got out. Gu Nianzhi followed.
The two of them stood in front of the car. The afterglow of the setting sun shone from behind them, overlapping their shadows and stretching them out.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and breathed in the fresh air in the forest. She asked softly, "… Didn't they say that the physicists from both countries are here? Why don't I see anyone? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Vladimir next to him and asked with a smile, "Do you know where the camp is?"
Vladimir took out his phone and contacted his own people. He pointed to the south and said, "There's a resort villa over there. The physicists and entourage from both countries are staying there. However, in order not to miss the observation period, the scientists have decided to camp here for a month. "
"Huh? Are we going camping?! "Gu Nianzhi was happy.
This was more like a field trip!
Moreover, there was a resort villa here, which couldn't be better.
They could sleep in tents and barbecue in the wild, but they still had to bathe and wash their hair at the resort villa.
Huo Shaoheng knew what Gu Nianzhi was thinking as soon as he saw her expression.
"Then we also have to book a few rooms at the resort villa," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "We're only staying here for two weeks. We can't advance and retreat with the physicists."
"It's fine, it's fine. Leave the security here to us. You can rest assured." Vladimir agreed immediately. He dialed the resort villa's number and booked a few rooms.
Huo Shaoheng looked down and thought about it. He sent a text message to Vladimir asking him not to mention to the physicists from the Huaxia Empire that they had encountered danger on the road today.
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't say it! Don't say it! "Vladimir nodded like he was pounding garlic. He finally booked a room.
Because there were a lot of physicists and entourage who had come this time, although it wasn't the peak season for the resort villa, it was still mostly occupied by them.
Vladimir used his status as the second-in-command of the KGB to book the last three rooms.
After putting away the phone, Vladimir said with a straight face, "There are only three rooms left. Ivan and I will share a room, Cereus and Major General Huo will share a room, and Lina will share a room. "
Gu Nianzhi blinked.
This Vladimir was quite impressive..
He didn't even discuss it with them before happily deciding on their accommodation.
However, it was a good arrangement, so Gu Nianzhi didn't object.
However, Lina looked at her and said to Vladimir, "Then do I still need to protect this Miss Cereus?"
Vladimir came back to his senses and laughed. "Oh my! That's not a coincidence. What should we do? Major General Huo, do you agree? Let your precious fiancée share a room with Lina. You can stay in a room by yourself. "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head calmly. "Of course not. What you said before was quite good. Cereus and I will share a room, and you and Ivan will share a room. Major Lina can stay in a room by herself. Or if she doesn't want to stay alone, she can share a room with you, Vladimir. "
Vladimir's face instantly turned red. He flicked his sleeves and left. He said, "It's getting late. Hurry up and go to the villa to wash up and then have dinner. Why don't we stay at the villa for the night? "
It seemed a little late to pitch a tent now.
As soon as it got dark in this area, the temperature dropped very quickly.
Without a warm tent, it was basically impossible to survive the night here.
Huo Shaoheng was a little worried about Song Jinning. He didn't want to stay at the resort, not even for one night.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to stay at the resort either.
She was more interested in camping in the wild.
She walked forward excitedly, wanting to find a better place to camp.
The forest in front of her became wider and wider, and the wilderness gradually appeared in front of her.
