This incident happened very suddenly and left them scratching their heads in confusion. The old men's attitude towards them was too strange.
Although few people usually landed on Severnaya Zemlya, there were still residents, and occasionally tourists or researchers came. So if the old men were rangers, their attitude towards them should not have been so bad.
The two sides had not met before, and even if the old men suspected that they were there to steal the polar wood, they should have communicated with them first. They were too aggressive.
Li Du was too lazy to provoke these stubborn old men. He simply stopped thinking about it and went to instruct Brother Wolf and the others to find a suitable place to camp and prepare to search for meteorites on the island.
Compared to the other three islands, Bolshevik Island's ecological environment was the best, especially because there was a polar forest on this island, where there were some plants. The other three islands were mostly deserts, where not even a blade of grass grew!
While the bodyguards were setting up camp, Li Du took the little ones for a stroll around.
The scenery of the polar forest was unique. It was rough, primitive, barbaric, but slightly delicate. It could only be said that nature's work was uncanny.
They chose to set up camp here because there was a stream next to it. The ground beside the stream was soft, and there were some small animal footprints on it. It seemed that there was still some life around.
Ah Meow found a cave and called out twice. Ah Meng rushed over, waving its claws like a chef cooking, and quickly widening the hole.
Li Du and Sophie followed and as Ah Meng widened the hole, the animal hiding inside was revealed. It was an arctic fox.
However, living in the wild by the river, the arctic fox's fur had turned gray and black, not as beautiful as the pure white of the arctic snow.
The arctic fox did not care whether it looked good or not. It hid inside and shivered, hoping that it would not be eaten.
The little ones had no interest in this kind of game, and Li Du waved them away. Otherwise, even if they did not eat it, they would play with the poor little fox to death.
It was noon, and after a few days of gloominess, the dark clouds had finally dispersed. The sun shone on the earth, making people feel warm.
Li Du released the little bug while enjoying the sun, and began to search the surroundings.
Sophie picked up a pebble and played with it in her hand. She said casually, "It's already midsummer in Phoenix, isn't it? The temperature here is just right. "
Li Du said, "Well, there is no summer in Severnaya Zemlya. It's good to spend the summer here, but there are no entertainment facilities."
Sophie said with a smile, "Yes, and he's alive."
Li Du looked at her in surprise and said, "Darling, when did you become so open-minded?"
Sophie was stunned. "What?"
Li Du winked and said, "Living entertainment. You are mine, and I am yours, right? That's what you mean, isn't it? "
Sophie spread her hands helplessly. "What are you thinking about all day? I'm talking about Ah Meow and the rest. They are our entertainment facilities. "
"I'm also your entertainment," Li Du grinned.
Sophie ignored him and ran after Ah Meow.
The little bugs flew close to the ground and searched quickly. They did not go deep into the ground. Their vision would be too poor and their efficiency would be too low. Li Du only looked for meteorites that might exist on the ground. The others did the same.
The appearance of a meteorite was still different from an ordinary stone. Its surface had some traces of streamlined or water droplets, which was the result of high temperature melting when passing through the atmosphere.
However, it was difficult to find meteorites. Li Du searched more than ten square kilometers of land but did not find a single one.
It was not that he did not find anything in the past two hours. He found that there were still many living things on the land. Even though the living environment was so harsh, there were still some green plants on the ground.
Shrubs, vines, vines, flowers, herbs, or mosses could be found if one looked carefully, but the density was low and the number was low.
This discovery was very important because the process of searching for meteorites was boring. They had to find something fun, otherwise they would soon feel unbearably boring.
The meteorite hunters carried wine with them and would take a sip from time to time. The purpose was to stimulate the nerves and invigorate the spirit. Li Du did not like to drink, so he had to find other ways.
When he returned to the camp, Big Quinn and a chef were preparing lunch.
The Ford brothers were enjoying life all the time. They had brought two chefs, one for Steve and the other with them to ensure that they could eat good food.
The chef was grilling lamb skewers. The lamb skewers were roasted until they were glistening with oil. After sprinkling some cumin powder and pepper on top, the aroma filled the air.
Li Du did not want pepper. He chose chili powder. Americans liked to use black pepper for all kinds of barbecue.
The lamb was tender and fragrant. Li Du ate it with grease dripping from his mouth.
When he turned around and saw that young Ford had not eaten, he asked, "This barbecue is great. Why aren't you eating?"
Young Ford smiled and said, "I'm waiting to eat beef."
As he spoke, the chef took out pieces of beautifully packaged beef. The beef was wrapped in tin foil and had a vacuum bag on the outside. It had been carefully preserved.
Li Du said, "You're smart. Are you going to fry beef for lunch?"
They had brought back the beef from Blodwen's freezer. They had looted a lot of good stuff and filled several boxes with wine and meat.
Brother Wolf and the others knew that they would not get their share of the beef, so they went to get the lamb skewers and light beer. They sat together and chatted while eating the barbecue.
Li Du sat down and said, "It's not good to eat meat all day. We have to find some vegetables."
"There are dehydrated vegetables in the plane."
Li Du shook his head. "Who would eat that? There are many kinds of wild vegetables here, but I don't know which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous. "
Brother Wolf carefully ate every piece of meat on the bamboo stick and then said, "Let's go out in the afternoon and find something. Some wild vegetables in the polar regions are really delicious and nutritious."
This was their strength. They had received strict training when they were in the army.
"It's a pity it's in the polar regions. If we were in Europe, we could find a lot of edible wild vegetables in the wild."
"Not a lot, but a lot. There are more than 10,000 kinds of edible wild plants in the whole of Europe," Sissy added.
The beef was quickly cooked, and Li Du went to grab the first eight pieces of beef. He was so fast that young Ford rolled his eyes.
Li Du brought it over and gave it to Brother Wolf and the others. The meat was really delicious. It was rich in oil and the meat was delicate.
Firecracker laughed and said, "Are we really here for an adventure? Why do I feel like we're on vacation? "
"Even if we go to Mars with the boss, it's still a vacation," Big Ivan said. "Next time, I'll take you to Australia. The boss has an island there. You can enjoy going there."
Li Du said, "When we get back, we'll take a vacation and bring your families over. If you're interested, you can choose your own place to build a house. Whoever builds it owns it."
