In the end, the main force took the initiative to find them. After the wind subsided, the satellite phones could be used normally.
Seven heavy SUVs, which looked like steel beasts, roared over. Brother Wolf and the others drove very fast, bumping all the way to the front. The doors opened, and several heavily armed men jumped out.
The hunters, who had wanted to pick a fight with Li Du, were suddenly silent. They saw rifles, automatic rifles.
A few students, who had been staying in the corner of the camp, were also silent. They looked at Li Du suspiciously, trying to guess who he was.
It was common to bring guns into the wilderness, and they also had guns in their hands for self-defense. However, Brother Wolf and the others were armed to the teeth, and their movements were full of military aura. It was obvious that they were elite European soldiers.
They had never heard of anyone bringing elite soldiers into the wilderness. It was a bit like a national operation.
Brother Wolf looked at Li Du with concern. Li Du nodded and said, "I'm fine."
The caravan caught up and surrounded the campsite. The hunters were terrified and carefully huddled together.
Steve got out of the car and asked Li Du, "Hey, Li, how are you?"
"Everything is fine," said Li Du.
Steve breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Damn, when the wind started, I said over the radio that all the cars should be locked and connected. Our cars can withstand such a strong wind."
Li Du wondered, "You said that? I didn't hear it. The signal was bad. "
Because Driver was good at driving, their car was at the front of the motorcade.
Steve spread out his hands and said, "Well, I told everyone to gather together to avoid the wind, but your car ran around like a headless fly. In the end, I don't know where you went."
Li Du explained that the front of their car was stuck in a pile of tumbleweeds, and they could not see anything at all. They could only move forward.
Young Ford saw the hunters standing outside as if they were being punished, and saw the pistol in Li Du's hand. He asked, "What are these guys doing?"
Li Du did not answer. He looked at the crowd and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
The bearded man laughed dryly and said, "We are ivory hunters, sir. We are sorry that we were rude just now. Please forgive us for our rudeness. We have no manners."
Li Du said, "You sound pretty nice now."
Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone guessed that there must have been some conflict between the two.
Brother Wolf looked coldly at the group of hunters. Firecracker and Madman loaded their rifles.
The weather was so cold, but the hunters were drenched in cold sweat!
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there's no point in me lowering myself to your level. Why are you guys still here? Are you waiting for me to treat you to dinner? "
The hunters did not have the guts to ask for their gun bags anymore. They silently picked up their luggage and prepared to leave.
Luo Qun, who had been silent, stopped them and asked, "Are you ivory hunters?"
The hunters did not know why they were stopped, so they could only nod in fear.
Luo Qun took out Jonas Malone's photo and said, "His name is Black Snake. Do you guys know him?"
The hunters looked at the photo carefully and shook their heads in confusion.
Luo Qun had no choice but to put away the photos. The hunters turned into stray dogs and hurriedly started their cars and left.
Without guns, these people would not die. However, they had come here for nothing. Li Du guessed that these people would definitely go back and reload their guns. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to go into the wilderness.
The wind had just subsided, and before it stopped, they could already hear the howling of wolves.
The sound was not loud, and they were probably still far away. The wolves were not howling because they had seen them.
After they met up, they realized that the weather was not suitable for travel. It just so happened that there was a small campsite here, so they took turns to sleep. They could lie down in the car and rest in the campsite.
This was the advantage of having money. If they had no money to drive into the wilderness, they would have to stay up late in the car. However, Steve and the others drove a special giant SUV, which was very spacious. The seats were like small beds, and they could lie down and sleep on them.
The wind was getting weaker, and Brother Wolf and the others prepared a campfire.
Their position was in the middle of nowhere, and there were no trees around, only the cold wilderness. Therefore, there were few dry trees. The campfire used the fuel they had brought, and everyone huddled together for warmth.
It was getting late, and none of them had eaten well.
Li Du hung a big pot on the campfire, took out the beef that had been marinated with black pepper, red wine, and eggs, and then quickly fried it in butter. He fried a bunch of potato cubes in it, then stir-fried it with beef and onions, sprinkled all kinds of spices, and added water to stew it. This was a pot of Russian-style potato beef.
The north wind was blowing, and the campfire was burning brightly, bringing warmth. At the same time, the beef in the pot was stewed, giving off a strong aroma.
They had brought a lot of food, but they had to use it sparingly. After all, the supply points they could encounter as they went deeper into the wilderness would become fewer and fewer.
The lid of the pot bounced, and the broth inside made a gurgling sound. The clear water had become a thick soup, and it was almost time to eat.
The group went to the car and took out some dry bread. Each person had a bowl of beef and broth, and then they crushed the dry bread and put it in. The bread absorbed the broth and became sweet and fragrant, even more delicious than the beef.
Li Du invited the seven students to eat together. They were a little afraid of the group, but they had been hungry for a long time. This potato beef was too tempting, so they wanted to refuse, but when they opened their mouths, they said, "Okay, thank you, gulp."
The last sound was the sound of saliva being swallowed. They were so hungry!
After eating the hot, fragrant bread dipped in soup and potato beef, the group was satisfied. Their stomachs became warm, and they slept more comfortably.
Li Du was not sleepy. He looked at the map in the light of the fire and planned tomorrow's itinerary.
The deeper they went, the more difficult the road would be, and they had to plan in advance.
In particular, Li Du had to dig for mammoth ivory. He brought the mammoth ivory treasure map with him, and together with the map, they would go northeast tomorrow. If they were fast enough, they could reach the Oskoba area, downstream of the Shiquan Tunguska River, in two or three days. There was a tundra there, and there was a cache of mammoth ivory.
After confirming their itinerary, they set off at dawn. The seven students also set off, but their itinerary was different, and they separated early.
The farther north they went, the more primitive the Siberian scenery appeared.
The ground was covered with snow, and when the snow melted, the muddy ground became muddier. The huge car tires were quickly covered with mud, and people had to get out of the car to clean up after a while.
After another day and a half, they encountered a forest.
