On March 2nd, Li Du met up with Luo Qun.
Luo Qun looked refreshed, carrying only a backpack. It looked like she was going to travel light.
Li Du's side was much more complicated. He brought along Godzilla, Big Quinn, and Lu Guan, as well as Brother Wolf, Big Ivan, and the other eight bodyguards. Together with Sophie, Li Du could form a team.
Luo Qun was surprised and said, "You're bringing so many people?"
Li Du said angrily, "Do you think I want to? Do you know how much it costs to travel with so many people? But if we don't bring more people, how are we going to deal with the unfamiliar situation in Siberia? Who knows what's waiting for us there? "
Luo Qun was silent. When they got on the plane, she said sincerely, "Thank you, Old Li. I'm counting on you this time."
Li Du was happy to see this girl give in to him, which was rare. He said, "You're welcome. Just listen to my instructions in Siberia."
Luo Qun was not happy about this. She patted her backpack and said, "I've prepared a lot of information …"
"But it's no use," Li Du interrupted her. "You have to listen to me. Listen, Luo Qun, I'm bringing so many people to help you, but it's not easy, so you have to listen."
Luo Qun was too rebellious. Li Du was afraid that she would mess around behind his back and cause trouble.
As for the information Luo Qun had found? Li Du didn't think it was useful, because he had already asked Steve to help find it.
When they got off the plane from Phoenix to Juneau, Alaska, they were greeted by a cold front.
Phoenix had entered summer, but Alaska was still in winter. The temperature was very low, and the wind was like a knife in their faces.
Of course, this had something to do with their sudden change of environment. The temperature in Juneau was now around zero degrees, and it could reach four or five degrees at noon.
Li Du straightened his clothes and saw Steve and his men waiting for them at the airport.
Steve also had a lot of people on his side. In addition to Old Elson and the Ford brothers, who Li Du knew, he had brought more than 20 people, which was a lot more than Li Du's.
This did not include the meteorite hunters they had hired, who had already gone to the North Pole. Some of the Nenets stayed behind because they were familiar with Siberia, but they were not here either. They had to wait for them to go to Siberia.
They stopped in Juneau City for a short while to replenish their supplies before setting off.
Luo Qun was still anxious, but Steve was calm. He said, "We have to wait for a few people. They are VIPs."
Li Du was afraid that Luo Qun had nothing better to do, so he handed some of the information that Steve had brought to Luo Qun and said, "Go and study it yourself."
Luo Qun flipped open a photo album. The first photo was of a black man, about thirty-two or thirty-three years old. He had high cheekbones, thick lips, and a thin body. His dark skin was covered with even darker tattoos.
Upon seeing this photo, Luo Qun's pupils immediately contracted. "Jonas Malone!"
This was one of the murderers who killed her parents and brother. She continued to flip through the album. There were many more photos, all of which were of Jonas Malone, from his thirties to his forties.
Li Du said, "This is the information I asked someone to look up. They investigated this man and found that he is very cautious. Since coming to Siberia, he has kept a low profile and joined the team of ivory hunters. He rarely appears in the city and mainly stays in the wilderness."
Luo Qun gritted her teeth and said, "That son of a b * tch, I will bring him to justice!"
Li Du did not feel bored while waiting. He and Sophie walked around Juneau City.
Juneau City was the capital of Alaska. In terms of administrative division, Juneau was a county, but there was only one city in the county, and that was Juneau City. Therefore, the administrative boundaries of the two completely overlapped, which was rare in the United States.
The total area of the city was about 8,000 square kilometers, but the population was less than 400,000, so it was definitely sparsely populated.
With a small population, the city's construction was naturally not very impressive. However, because of its unique geographical location, the city still had some characteristics. Li Du and Sophie walked around for two days and gained a lot of knowledge.
The city's fishing industry was very developed. For two days, they had delicious salmon for every meal.
In addition, Juneau City produced precious fur such as sea otters, blue foxes, red foxes, and sable. Li Du wanted to buy Sophie a few beautiful fur coats, but Sophie firmly refused.
"If there's no buying, there's no killing. We should protect them."
They stayed in Juneau City for another two days, and the people Steve was waiting for finally arrived.
To Li Du's surprise, the people they were waiting for turned out to be his acquaintances, Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi.
Both of them were wearing windbreakers. Tang Chaoyang was carrying a backpack, while Song Biaozi was carrying a bag on his back and a bag on his chest. He was also kicking a suitcase and rolling it on a wheel.
Looking at the two of them, Li Du's eyes widened.
When Tang Chaoyang saw him, he greeted him warmly, "Hey, Brother Li, long time no see. How have you been? Are you going to the North Pole, too? Not bad. Let's talk when we have the chance. "
Li Du greeted him and Song Biaozi. Song Biaozi said angrily, "Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me. My mouth is full. I'm going to have a bag in my mouth."
Tang Chaoyang curled his lips and said, "But no one talks more than you do."
Song Biaozi glared at him. Tang Chaoyang shrugged and walked away, pretending that nothing had happened.
When the two arrived, they could set off.
The means of transportation was a private civil plane. It was not clear whether Steve or the Ford brothers had booked the plane, but they were the only ones on board.
As the plane flew from east to west, Steve sighed and said, "We are now going against the path our ancestors took. I hope we are lucky enough to find the traces left by our ancestors."
The path he was talking about was from Siberia to North America through the Bering Strait.
Siberia had been inhabited long before the Stone Age. During the last ice age, the climate was cold, so the water level was relatively low.
Today's Bering Strait had a land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska. The ancestors of today's Native Americans came to America from Siberia through this land bridge.
Hearing this, Song Biaozi curled his lips and said, "Our ancestors did not take this path."
His words were very unfriendly, but Steve did not care. He just smiled when he heard it.
Tang Chaoyang glared at Song Biaozi and said, "Don't you have a bag in your mouth and can't talk?"
"I had a bag in my mouth last year," Song Biaozi replied.
Sophie wondered and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Du thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Nothing, nothing."
Song Biaozi's words were similar to 'I bought a bag last year,' which he could not explain to Sophie.
Tang Chaoyang ignored him, took out an old leather notebook, and frowned at it.
Li Du glanced at it and was shocked.
