As far as Li Du knew, Steve was a pure-hearted second generation.
He was fine with watching the fun, but when it came to him, he was at a loss.
Vika was especially passionate and stubborn. She gave up on Li Du and stared at Steve. When Steve understood what was going on, he quickly explained that it was Li Du's trick.
The red-haired girl told him honestly that she knew what was going on, but Li Du had a fiancée and they could not be together. Steve, on the other hand, did not have a fiancée and was suitable to be his partner. She was happy to be with him.
Steve was stunned and looked at Elson for help.
Elson wanted to help him out, but Li Du said casually, "With Steve's status, it is difficult for him to get close to a girl who is not attracted to him because of his wealth and status. This is a rare opportunity."
Hearing this, Elson thought for a while and nodded. "Maybe this girl is not bad. Let Steve get to know her. He is at the age to find a girl to date."
The group left like the wind and went to the restaurant to eat, leaving Steve to deal with Vika alone.
They stayed in the small city of Vorkuta for a week. Steve contacted a cargo ship to arrive at the port of Alcudam. The port was directly north of the small city, facing the Kara Sea. From the port, they could reach Severnaya Zemlya by sailing northeast.
The port was only open in the summer and autumn. Now that the port had just opened, Li Du and his group arrived in a car. They then sent the car and supplies to the ship and took the ship to Severnaya Zemlya.
When they set off, Li Du saw that there was a girl in Steve's car. He brought Vika along with him.
Seeing that Li Du was staring at Vika, Steve came over and said, "What's with that look?"
Li Du gave him a playful elbow and laughed. "Looks like some b * stard has hit the jackpot."
Steve glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I hired her to help me raise Kuafu. Vika's grandfather is an animal trainer in a circus. She has been in contact with wild animals since she was young and is very experienced in this area."
After a pause, he added, "Isn't it because of you that I got into trouble with her? Sh * t, I will stay away from you in the future. I swear I will. "
Li Du said, "Why do you have to stay away from me? Didn't I just find you a Beast Tamer? "
Steve punched him lightly, rolled his eyes, got into the car and left.
Alcudam was a small port town near the Arctic Ocean. It was sparsely populated and lacked resources. It was not well-known in the world.
There was no road from Vorkuta to the small town. They had to drive a giant off-road vehicle to get there. Otherwise, there was no way they could get there.
From the time they set off to the town, Li Du did not encounter many cars on the road. There were not many houses in the town, only a few general stores that were open.
These shops were post offices, convenience stores, restaurants, and hotels. They had a variety of functions, but there were not many things in them. There were too many people in Li Du's group. One shop did not even have enough food to entertain them, so they had to split into two shops.
After arriving at the small town, Li Du did not go to pack first. Instead, he drove straight to the coastline.
There was a scenic spot in Alcudam. Due to the traffic and environment, there were very few tourists here all year round. However, as long as there was someone who came here, they would definitely not miss this scenic spot. After seeing it, they would give it high marks.
This scenic spot was called Diamond Beach.
The car drove to the rugged seaside. The cold wind blew from the Arctic Circle. Even though it was already May, it was still chilly. The wind felt like it was slicing through people's skin.
There was no fine sand by the seaside. Instead, there were many exposed coarse reefs. The cold wind blew against the beach and the reefs, splashing up piles of snow!
Because there was no pollution, the sky was very blue, the sea was very clear, and the waves that flew up were almost transparent.
The sun was warm, and the golden rays shone on the ground, illuminating a part of the beach with a crystal clear silver light. Li Du took a closer look, but after a while, his eyes were stung by the light, and he could not continue to look at it.
He looked into the depths of the sea. Pieces of ice floated on the surface of the sea. Further away, there were icebergs floating on the water, swimming slowly with the current.
These glaciers were the creators of the Diamond Beach. What glowed on the beach were countless pieces of fine ice. Because of their shape and clarity, they looked like sparkling diamonds.
There were glaciers on the sea. The huge ice on the glaciers was constantly being battered by the wind and the waves, and then turned into ice floes that were washed onto the black beach by the current. In the end, the crystal clear ice would shatter and cover the black beach.
Many of the surrounding beaches had ice. The reason why this beach had the reputation of being the Diamond Beach was that the rocks and sand on the beach were all black, which made the ice look even clearer and shinier.
These black rocks came from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. Nature had coincidentally allowed them to meet with the ice, forming this unique landscape.
Sophie took a series of photos. She looked at the beautiful beach in fascination and murmured, "This is so beautiful. If only we had a house here. Wouldn't it be like stepping on diamonds when we walk on the beach every day?"
Li Du adjusted his clothes and said, "No, it's too cold."
There was ice everywhere on the beach, and with the Arctic Circle in front of them, it would be very cold even in the middle of summer.
However, it was not bad to spend a vacation here in the middle of summer. Phoenix was too hot in the summer, and it was nice to stay in a natural place surrounded by ice in that kind of weather.
Not far away was the town's dock. A cargo ship painted white was docked on the shore. The cargo ship was not large. Of course, it was not a deep-water port, so large ships could not dock.
This was the ship that would take them to Severnaya Zemlya. Few ships were willing to take this route because the sea conditions here were not good. There were icebergs on the sea, reefs under the water, and it was said that there were pirate ships.
Yes, there were still pirate ships in some parts of the Arctic Circle. They usually worked part-time as fishermen and hunters along the coast. They did not kill people, but only robbed and ran away.
Because it was not convenient to arrange for police warships to enforce the law in the Arctic Circle, and the land was not suitable for law enforcement and investigation, the police and the government could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, there were only a few ships on this route in a year. The ships that came to this route would be prepared to deal with trouble. Therefore, there were not many robberies in a year, and the successful robberies were even fewer. The police were too lazy to deal with them.
After lunch in the town, they drove the car to the ship, then packed their luggage, counted the number of people, and boarded the ship together, ready to go to Severnaya Zemlya to officially start work.
The captain, a blue-eyed bearded man, sat in the wheelhouse with a shotgun.
When receiving Li Du and Steve, the captain was more optimistic. He smiled and said, "There are so many of us, and we are all men. I don't think we need to use this gun. I believe our voyage will be very smooth."
