Li Du only wanted to catch Jonas Malone as soon as possible and end this journey. Hence, he did not care about the few thousand dollars. He took out the money and gestured for the other party to tell him the answer.
The big man took the money and said, "To the northeast of Krasnoyarsk, there is an abandoned town called Cricket's Nest. The Prayer gang is there now."
Hankway held the money, stared at the big man, and said, "Hey, man, this news better be true. Otherwise, you'll see our motorcade. We're not easy to fool, understand?"
The big man said indifferently, "Why would I lie to you? Getting into trouble for a thousand dollars? The Prayer gang is in Cricket's Nest. You can ask around. Many people know about them. "
Li Du looked at Steve and Luo Qun and said, "It seems that Mr. Malone has changed his temperament. We investigated him before, and he hid it well."
Luo Qun said with a cold face, "It's been fourteen years. Maybe he thinks it's over, and no one remembers it."
Li Du waved and said, "Get in the car, let's go to Cricket's Nest."
Krasnoyarsk was in the upper reaches of the Shiphan Tunguska River, and there was a treasure trove around the source of the river.
Li Du decided to deal with Jonas Malone first, and then dig for mammoth ivory.
Having determined their destination, they sped up. Of course, this was related to the fact that there was a road along the Shiphan Tunguska River, and it was always faster when the road conditions were good.
Even so, it took them nearly a week to reach Krasnoyarsk Krai from the time they entered the taiga.
Krasnoyarsk was a small town, a really small town, with no developed road network, no tall buildings, no crowded crowds, just empty space.
There were some small farms on both sides of the road, which looked dilapidated. The local soil was poor, and the climate was not good, making it unsuitable for agriculture.
There was only one square in the town, and in the square stood a statue of Lenin. The great proletarian revolutionary, wearing a coat, stood on a high stone platform, his hands in the pockets of his coat, looking as majestic as ever.
Unfortunately, the huge red empire he had created had long since collapsed.
"If I hadn't seen the statue of this comrade, I would have thought we had entered the world of Tarantino's Western." Young Ford laughed as they got out of the car. "It's really desolate, isn't it?"
A cold wind blew past. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and the gloomy sky looked lifeless. This small city was like a place abandoned by the gods in the movies.
Interestingly, a few small animals would occasionally appear at the end of the street. For example, two stoats jumped out from beside the trash can in the square. They looked curiously at the group of people and cars, but they were probably shocked and immediately ran away.
As soon as they entered the small town and parked the car, a convoy soon arrived.
More than a dozen pickup trucks intercepted them from the front and back, and a few burly men got out of the vehicles. Their eyes were fierce, and they seemed to be up to no good.
Steve sighed and said, "Is there trouble knocking on our door?"
Li Du said, "What do you think? They can't possibly be here to welcome us, right? "
The leader was a burly man wearing a hoodie and a pair of loose military pants. He walked over with his arms crossed in front of his chest and asked, "Hey, where are you from?"
Hankway went to talk to them. "Hello, man, what's your name?"
The scarred man whispered, "What a stupid question, this is Flint Vladimir! He doesn't even know Flint, how dare he go up there? "
Sure enough, after Hankway's words, the people around him laughed.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong with this Flint? Is he powerful? "
The scarred man nodded and said, "Yes, his organization is called Flint, one of the largest ivory hunters. He is very fierce and domineering."
Flint did not respond to Hankway. He looked contemptuously at Li Du and the others and said, "Tell the dog to go away, I don't talk to dogs. Who's the boss? Come out, don't tell me you don't have the guts. "
Young Ford, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Flint with interest and said, "What's the matter, shall we run over?"
Li Du motioned to them not to rush. He walked out and said, "I'm the boss. Hello, Mr. Flint, why are you here?"
Flint was a typical Russian burly man. He was nearly two meters tall and had a very muscular build. He looked like a bear.
He walked slowly up to Li Du, deliberately looking down at him, and then grinned, showing two rows of white teeth. "Haha, why? Don't you know the reason? "
Li Du spread out his hands and said, "Please tell me."
Flint snorted and circled around him. As he circled, he asked, "I heard you've been looking for one of my buddies recently? Why are you looking for him? "
At first, Li Du thought that the other party thought they were ivory hunters and had come to give them a show of strength.
But after listening to Flint, he knew that was not the case. The other party was invited by Jonas Malone, who obviously knew they were looking for him.
This was not a good sign, but Li Du had expected it. After all, Jonas Malone had been in the area for more than a decade, and he must have connections.
Li Du and the others had been asking about Jonas Malone all the way here, and someone must have informed him of this matter.
Looking at Flint, Li Du smiled and said, "We are old friends. I heard that he started a Prayer gang, and we want to join him and get rich together."
Flint suddenly burst into laughter. He pointed at the giant SUV and shouted, "Do you think I'm a fool? Yanks, you drove this car to dig for ivory? Can one tusk pay for a day's fuel? "
Li Du said, "One tusk can sell for thirty to forty thousand dollars, and these cars only cost three to four thousand dollars a day. Of course it's enough."
Hearing this, Flint laughed again. He pointed at Li Du and said, "Very good, you're very humorous, buddy. I like you, b * stard."
Li Du smiled and nodded. "Thank you …"
Flint immediately interrupted him. "But did you ask me before you came to Krasnoyarsk to dig for ivory? Did you ask for my opinion? Do you think this is a potato? Anyone can dig it up if they want? "
Li Du released the little bug, which flew to Flint's belt buckle and absorbed the time energy in a frenzy.
If Flint wanted to show off, Li Du would let him. "Sorry, are you the boss here? We're new here, and there are many things we don't know yet. "
"If you don't know, how dare you …" Flint reached out to poke Li Du's chest, but before he could finish his sentence and take a step forward, his belt buckle cracked open.
Immediately, the belt broke, and his loose military pants fell to the ground at lightning speed!
Just like that, in front of more than a hundred people, the majestic boss of the Flint gang dropped his pants!
