Nono stood on the deck, rubbed her hands, and breathed in the cold air. The chill invaded her lungs, but she was used to it.
There was a hazy mist on the deck, or rather the giant ship under her feet was slowly moving forward in a sea of fog, like an old man stumbling forward.
Today is the thirty-seventh day since she arrived at the Arctic Circle.
The first place she went to was a port in the northernmost part of Siberia. According to the information given by Lu Mingfei, it was once a secret research base of the former Soviet Union.
Although it is said to be a port, it is actually a deserted no man's land.
According to the information provided by Lu Mingfei, the port is located 340 kilometers south of Verkhoyansk. There are no specific coordinates, but the nonsense "340 kilometers south".
She rented a helicopter and spent two days searching for it back and forth in the sky.
It's a pity that she couldn't find any clues there. They didn't find the remains of any large bombed buildings. If that base really existed, it must have been completely swallowed up by the wind and snow here and buried under the snow.
So Nono gave up decisively.
It was impossible for her to find the research base in this situation by herself.
She turned around and found the nearest port, spent money to board a giant ship, and pretended to be a biologist to investigate the ecological environment of the Arctic Circle...
This giant ship happened to pass through the Greenland Sea.
She had read the archives of the Ice Sea incident from Caesar, and the most important thing was that there was a survivor who had been on the Ice Sea mission and introduced her in detail about the mission.
"Ms. Chen, it's cold on the deck. It's better to go back to the cabin." The black woman with braided braids walked up to her and advised her in a low voice.
"It's okay, Ava, I want to check the weather today." Nono smiled and said, "Is everyone in good condition?"
"Miss Chen, don't worry about us. Although the days on the ship are boring, they are much better than our training period. In addition, we have all received professional meditation training, and we can spend time meditating in our free time." Ava said with an unchanged expression.
She stood next to Nono, but her body was always tense. She did not relax her vigilance even on the deck, carefully guarding her safety.
Nono nodded and said nothing more.
Ava and the other four people were the bodyguard group given to her by Fingel. They were said to be an elite team trained by him.
Nuonuo has observed them in private. They have a sharp style and decisive actions. He can clearly smell the smell of blood on their bodies. This five-man team is definitely considered an elite, even if they are placed in the execution department. I wonder if Fingel is
How did you recruit them to your side and train them secretly until today?
What's also strange is that Fingel also gave this team an unlucky Chinese name - Cannon Fodder Squad.
Finally, the giant ship broke through the sea of fog.
As summer approaches, the daylight hours in the Greenland Sea last for more than twelve hours, the sky is clear and clear, and the dazzlingly white sun hangs low above the horizon.
If you don't take into account the terrible low temperature in the area, this picture is very soothing and melodious, making people feel at peace.
I'm just tired of seeing the same scenery for a week.
"Ms. Chen, where is our destination?" Ava asked.
"I don't know." Nuonuo said perfunctorily. In fact, she really didn't know where her destination was. She just randomly found a ship passing through the Greenland Sea, because Lu Mingfei didn't give her a specific address at all. Fen
Neither did Geer.
These two bastards just told her that there was an important base somewhere in Siberia, and that there was a high probability of a certain kind of dragon wandering somewhere in the Greenland Sea...
Damn it! If there is a certain kind of dragon wandering here, why would she come? With her ability, she has no chance of winning even against a fourth-generation and fifth-generation species. Could it be that she is relying on Fingel's cannon fodder team?
Well, these guys are indeed capable of fighting and have good bloodlines, but they are still as weak as a child in front of the dragon that once destroyed the elite team of the Executive Department and sent Professor Schneider to hell.
But she still came.
There is no way to refuse, and no reason to refuse.
Because in the profile picture that Lu Mingfei directed her to see, she saw a hellish nightmare.
If this dream must be given a name, then its name is - the future.
"Ms. Chen, I have a call for you." Another white man appeared on the deck.
He and Ava nodded to each other and handed the satellite phone to Chen Motong.
Nuonuo answered the phone and thought that if it was Lu Mingfei or Fingel, she would curse for a full minute.
"In an hour, a scientific expedition ship will pass by you. Jump on that ship. You may be able to find the answer on it."
An unexpected female voice. Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that it is a beauty, but it is still a thorny kind.
"Are you from Lu Mingfei or Fingel?" Nono asked calmly.
"Strictly speaking, we belong to Lu Mingfei, but we are not under his management." The female voice on the phone paused, "Remember, the other scientific expedition team will be hired by us in an hour.
, your identity is the manager sent by us."
The phone was hung up.
Nono looked at the satellite phone in his hand and fell into deep thought.
There seems to be a powerful force behind Lu Mingfei. This force seems to be not under the Secret Party, but more secretive than the Secret Party. At least the Secret Party has never discovered that they are standing behind Lu Mingfei.
No...a thought flashed through Nono's mind.
Maybe it’s not that they have never been discovered, but someone in the secret party is covering up for them, or maybe they are also a member of the secret party!
At this moment she thought of Principal Angers.
Those who have met and truly understood the principal will not doubt that the principal himself is a sharp folding knife, vowing to cut off everything, whether it is disaster, sorrow, cause and effect, or even fate.
But the strange thing is that Principal Angers never doubted a certain illusory destiny, and the name of this destiny was Lu Mingfei.
"The person I choose... will personally end the entanglement between us and the Dragon Clan that has lasted for thousands of years."
During an afternoon tea party during his freshman year, Principal Angers raised his head, looked at the fallen leaves on the tall trees through the skylight, and said softly.
He seemed to be just talking to himself, but everyone present was stunned, but Ange did not explain, he just raised the black tea and signaled to see off the guests.
The person chosen by the principal?
At that time, they were curious about who the person chosen by the principal was, Chu Zihang? Caesar?
But now think about it, who else could it be besides Lu Mingfei?!
Lu Mingfei's S-level was assessed by the principal. On the night when Constantine woke up, the principal left the key blow to him, and specially brought him with him to the auction...
It was as if he was showing off his best offspring to the hybrids all over the world.
Nono made a quick decision, "Gather everyone together and get ready. Let's change the ship."
She was the leader of this temporary team, and Fingel's instructions to Ava and others were to obey completely, so the two of them turned back to the cabin to pack their things without asking any questions.
Nuonuo turned around and looked forward, and suddenly frowned. In the distance, there was another sea of fog on the ship's trajectory. This sea area, or rather the fog in the past few days, was particularly thick.
As the ship resembles the depths of the foggy sea, the line of sight once again becomes extremely blurry.
Nono stared at his watch from time to time to check the time. If the other person said an hour, then it must be an hour.
Sure enough, when the second hand of the watch turned exactly 60 times, a yellow light suddenly penetrated the fog in front, the whistle was deafening, and a skyscraper-like figure slowly emerged from the thick fog. Nono couldn't help but take a breath of Arctic air.
Circle of air conditioning.
This is actually a black icebreaker!
Even though the ship underfoot is already a giant ship, it still looks a bit petite and cute compared to the icebreaker in front of it.
Who are the people behind Lu Mingfei helping, just hire a scientific expedition team and build an icebreaker?
Two giant ships passed each other in the thick fog, and Nono successfully boarded the icebreaker with Ava's help.
The captain seemed to have been waiting for them. He was very enthusiastic after seeing Chen Motong, and there was also the leader of the expedition team.
Nuonuo tried to get some words from the leader of the expedition team. Unfortunately, after chatting, she discovered that these guys were actually members of the real archaeological team. They were not even hybrids and did not know the secrets of the dragon clan at all. They were invited here to dig out
There is evidence of human civilization in the Arctic Circle in ancient times...
The leading old man, who calls himself Professor Saka, has always believed that in distant ancient times, there existed a civilization that was older and even more glorious than human beings.
In addition, he believes that there are islands in the Arctic Circle that have never been discovered by humans.
"Professor Saka, what is the basis for your opinion?" Nono asked.
"Well, I can understand Miss Chen's confusion, but please believe us, we have found relevant clues!"
The professor excitedly showed her what they had harvested these days, a bronze fragment covered with various weird runes.
The professor held the bronze fragments as if they were treasures and said with obsessed eyes: "Look, this is what we have salvaged these days. We have found clues and are now trying to decipher the words on it. Miss in charge, I hope you can help us.
Say something nice to your employer, we can't just leave, we are heading towards a lost ancient civilization!"
Nonuo forced herself to calm her violently beating heart and took a deep breath without revealing any traces.
The text on this bronze fragment is dragon text!
This group of people actually found the remains of the Dragon Clan!
"Of course, no one would reject a lost civilization." Nono said calmly, "Professor Saka, I want to know where you found it."
"Finding it was just a coincidence, but we are convinced that the Sunset Land really exists!" Professor Saka said with a burning gaze.
"Sunset place?" Nono frowned.
"The Inuit people have always circulated a legend that there is a land somewhere in the Arctic Circle. You can see the sunset there and it is warm all year round. Time stands still there. It is the boundary between life and death.
place……"
Nono's eyes flickered and said: "Professor Saka, I hope you can hand over this bronze fragment to me for a while. I need to collect some information and submit it to my boss. Only in this way can I convince my boss to continue supporting this operation."
"This..." The professor seemed a little hesitant, but in order to continue to move forward towards the lost ancient civilization, he still chose to give in, "Okay, please be careful with it."
Taking the bronze fragment reluctantly handed over by the professor, Nono smiled gracefully and handed the fragment to Ava, who was standing upright behind him.
"It's not urgent, professor. I also want to know how far your research has progressed. You know, I have to report all of this."
"Of course, of course..." the professor said repeatedly, "Please come this way. Some of the information is in the cabin. According to my plan, we will next find the Inuit people to be our guides. I believe the 'Sunset Land' is
One of the sources of that ancient civilization."
"Of course." Nono smiled and expressed her support. She thought that the person behind the scenes asked her to intervene as the person in charge just to supervise this group of academic lunatics.
Although it was just a simple chat, she had already seen that these guys were completely pure archaeologists, and they valued reputation more than profit. They would not accept the fate of the foreign king. Even if the people behind the scenes chose to terminate the operation, these guys
The madman will not stop, most likely he will cut off the network cable and continue moving forward.
And to deal with such a guy, we must naturally use corresponding methods.
"Professor Sacca, John Stephens rediscovered the remains of the Mayan civilization in the tropical rainforest of Honduras. Maybe you will become the John Stephens of this era."
"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Chen, the person in charge, this is my lifelong dream!" Professor Saka's face turned red and he danced excitedly.
Sure enough, this kind of academic lunatic who is almost completely heartless is best to be coaxed.
Nono thought to himself.
The next step... is to find this legendary sunset place?
She vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple. She wanted to have a clear communication with Lu Mingfei and contact Caesar by the way, so that even if her girlfriend died, her boyfriend would know where she died.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
In the profile that Lu Mingfei directed her to see, Caesar was sitting in an empty canyon holding a withered corpse.
And that corpse is hers.
…
…
"No!" Caesar roared and opened his eyes, breaking free from the scene that he didn't know whether to call it a dream or a fantasy.
He panted violently, glared at Lu Mingfei like a lion, and said word by word: "What the hell are you showing me?!"
Until then, he found that only he and Lu Mingfei were left in the room, and the other four people had already left the room.
He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and found that half an hour had passed since Lu Mingfei entered the room.
He put his hands on his face, forced himself to calm down, and kept taking deep breaths, "What are you showing me, the future you see? Are you like me, can you see the future in your dreams?"
Lu Mingfei's heart moved: "Boss, can you see the future in your dreams?"
Caesar said coldly: "Yes, it was an ability that appeared before coming to Japan. I don't know where it came from, but every once in a while, I can see the picture of the future."
"That's a lot easier to explain. You can understand that these are the futures I saw, and now I'm passing them on to you." Lu Mingfei said happily.
Caesar's face twitched slightly. He guessed the answer, but couldn't accept it for a while.
In the picture passed by Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo died in his arms, and his body was completely dry. He held Nuonuo and roared and filial piety, but could not do anything. This powerless anger made him
Thinking of the girl named Aso again, he almost went crazy.
"Boss, do you know that among all the people just now, you, Caesar Gattuso, are one of the people I trust the most," Lu Mingfei said.
"...Why do you say that?" Caesar said in a low voice.
"Because you are a lion with a golden mane. You will not do any tricks. You walk across the wilderness and want to eat all despicable animals. You will stick to your justice until your death." Lu Mingfei said softly. He said, "How can I not trust you?"
Caesar was silent for a moment, "But I can't believe you. I don't even know who you are and what organization is behind you."
