Brother Wolf was very reliable. It took the helicopter pilot only two and a half days to fly from Crimea, the northernmost tip of the northern hemisphere, to Australia, the southernmost tip of the southern hemisphere.
He took a bus to Lightning Ridge. At that time, Li Du was working in the mine with Aubrey, Steve, and the others. When Brother Wolf told him about it, he was surprised. "So fast?"
"Big Ivan is a quick bastard. He never does things sloppily," said Brother Wolf.
Now that he was here, Li Du had to entertain him.
He climbed up the mine and said to Steve, "Hey, man, come up and take a break. Be careful not to get sick down there."
Steve's endurance exceeded his expectations. In his opinion, this guy was the second generation of a big family. He must have grown up in a honey pot and could not stand the hardships of mining.
However, the reality surprised him. Steve never complained of fatigue when he went down to the mines with him. He just kept his head down and worked hard with a hard hat on.
He couldn't figure out what Steve was doing. Instead of living a good life as a noble son, he came to mine and suffer.
Hearing this, Steve laughed and said, "I'm fine, Li. You go and do your work."
Knowing that he was stubborn, Li Du shrugged at Elson, who was basking in the sun and drinking black tea, and said, "He's really stubborn."
Elson laughed. "He's been like this since he was a child."
Li Du and Brother Wolf drove away. As they passed the door of the 121 mine, he saw several cars parked in the neighbor's house and seemed to see Blanchett.
However, he did not pay attention. He just glanced at them and the SUV roared away.
In town, Brother Wolf drove to the bus station. At the station gate, a small Russian carrying a large hiking bag was looking around under the stop sign.
As the car drove past, Ivana leaned against the window and shouted, "Uncle Bomb!"
Hearing this clear voice, the blond Russian's face suddenly tensed up and said, "Uncle Bomb? Where is the bomb? Where is the uncle? Didn't we agree to have a godfather? "
Ivana leaned against the window and giggled. She was no longer shy and introverted like before. She had become much more cheerful.
Brother Wolf got out of the car, and the Russian came up and gave him a big hug.
Without a doubt, this was the "Big Ivan" that Brother Wolf had mentioned.
All along, Li Du had thought that Ivan was a big guy like Godzilla because of the way he addressed him as Brother Wolf and because of his impression of Russian men.
But now, he saw that Ivan wasn't even as tall as him, and he was also very skinny. He didn't look like an elite soldier from an elite troop at all.
However, as the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. He couldn't judge others based on their appearance. After all, Brother Wolf held him in high regard.
Brother Wolf introduced the two of them and they shook hands.
As he clenched his fists, Li Du realized that Ivan was indeed extraordinary. He was a little shorter than Li Du, but he was born with a pair of large hands, which were full of calluses and unusually strong.
"Hello, Mr. Ivan Vladimir Grushakov," Li Du said with a smile. "Nice to meet you."
The Russian said, "It must not be easy to remember my name. You can call me by my nickname, Big Ivan. Haha, I like this name very much."
Ivana poked her head out of the car and shouted, "Big Ivan, the Tsar Bomba, bang!"
The Tsar Bomba was an experimental hydrogen bomb made by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Its name meant that it was the "king of bombs," because it was the most powerful bomb of all the types of bombs that humans had ever made, whether in size, weight, or power.
The bomb was codenamed Big Ivan in the Soviet Union. Its explosive yield was originally equivalent to 100 million tons of TNT, but the Soviet authorities were worried that the nuclear fallout after the test explosion would cause serious environmental pollution and diplomatic disputes, so the nuclear bomb was reduced to 50 million tons of explosive power.
Even so, the power of this bomb was still the pinnacle of human existing weapons. No one dared to really use such a weapon. The crazy and arrogant Soviets did not dare to include it in the list of weapons. They only used it to deter opponents and to show off their military strength.
Hearing Ivana's voice, Big Ivan ran over and reached out to catch her.
At this time, Ah Meow, who was staying in the car, thought that Big Ivan was going to attack Ivana. He poked his head out of the front window, meowed, and pounced on Big Ivan.
As soon as Ah Meow pounced on him, Big Ivan immediately twisted his waist and used his back to block Ah Meow. At the same time, he took a step back to reduce the force of Ah Meow's impact. Then, he took another step forward and knocked Ah Meow, who was on him, back into the car.
After a confrontation, Li Du's eyes lit up.
No wonder Brother Wolf admired this skinny man so much. His skills were not ordinary. Ah Meow's pounce was his most common means of attack. Ordinary beasts could not avoid it, let alone fight back.
Big Ivan had completed a set of defensive and counterattacks, which was amazing.
"Hey, what a big cat. Who raised this beast?" Big Ivan turned around and said with a smile.
Brother Wolf said, "It's the boss's pet, an ocelot. Don't mess with it. Its temper is worse than mine."
Big Ivan exclaimed, "Wow, its temper is too scary, haha."
As he spoke, he reached out to continue to hug Ivana. At this time, Ah Ow's head popped out from Ivana's classmate's mouth. She grinned at Big Ivan and bared her sharp teeth.
Big Ivan's eyes widened. "Dog sh * t, a wolf! What's in this car? Is it a zoo of beasts? "
Li Du smiled and said, "It's just a few of my pets. They thought you were going to hurt Ivana. They don't know you."
Big Ivan scratched Ivana's nose through the veil and smiled. "Hey, daughter, you have a group of good friends, don't you? Do you still remember what the Godfather once said? You will find your friends! "
Ivana said, "And Victoria, she is fishing at sea. I will introduce her to you the next time we meet. She is also my good friend."
After picking up Big Ivan, Li Du took him to the hotel to rest and eat.
In the end, he said, "Let's go see the helicopter first. I'm not tired. I slept all the way here. I like to sleep on a plane. It feels good."
Brother Wolf nodded and said, "This is Big Ivan's strength. He was born on a plane. The plane is his best home."
Li Du did not stand on ceremony. He got in the car and said, "Then let's go back first."
As soon as he got in the car, the phone rang. It was Hans.
"What's the matter?"
Hans cried, "What's the matter? What do you think? Since you went to Lightning Ridge, there hasn't been a single call. God, I thought you were buried in the mine! "
Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm doing well here."
"Of course I know you're doing well. D * mn it, I knew it from the time you didn't call me. Luckily I found something good and thought of you," Hans said angrily.
Li Du asked curiously, "Something good? What did you find? "
