Ushuaia is one of the closest places on Earth to the South Pole, only 960 kilometers away.
It is one of the biggest starting points for Antarctic tourism, and it is also the last stop for many scientific expedition teams before heading to Antarctica.
After arriving in Ushuaia, Luke stopped.
June in Antarctica is just the opposite of the Arctic. It is the worst time of the year with strong winds exceeding level 8 and temperatures below minus 50 degrees Celsius.
This harsh environment is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Even Luke did not dare to act rashly. He followed the arrangements of the remaining personnel of the Weyland Group and began to cram on polar common sense.
He's killed a lot of bad guys, but none of them had the ability to fight in polar regions.
There is only one reason: Who should we fight in the polar regions? Seals or whales
He simply found a certain snow combat ability in the ability list and learned it, and then studied the various materials provided by the Weyland Group.
This wait lasted for three days.
The weather finally calmed down.
Luke, who was ready to go at any time, boarded a small plane in less than ten minutes. There was no other passengers on the plane except the pilot.
Luke started chatting with the pilot only after the small plane took off.
He is still very interested in this little plane.
This is a small fixed-wing aircraft with floats underneath for taking off from water or snow.
The destination is Antarctica, where the temperature is the lowest in the year. Most steel will become extremely brittle in such a harsh environment.
It is certainly not an easy task for an airplane to dare to fly to the Antarctic Circle at this time.
The pilot was tight-lipped and simply assured him not to worry, saying that although the plane was small, it was specially made by Wieland.
More than three hours later, the plane arrived at its destination and glided down on the ice.
Luke had just gotten off the plane when the pilot pointed to a group of snowmobiles not far away and impatiently took off again and returned quickly.
The weather in the polar regions is unpredictable.
Although the weather forecast says that today will be calm for most of the day, this is not absolutely accurate.
If Luke wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have flown here.
The pilot made this flight for the huge amount of money. After returning, he will end his work for the year and go on vacation to the warmest beach.
Luke moved forward quickly in the snow.
The plane stopped several hundred meters away from the snowmobile, and he didn't want to walk in the sudden eight-force gale.
A few minutes later, I arrived at the snowmobile at the fastest speed an ordinary person could and saw a group of buildings at the bottom of a gentle slope.
It took him a few more minutes to walk near the complex and he waved to someone in a house.
The man welcomed him in.
Luke pulled off his mask and revealed his face: "I'm Luke Coulson. Chairman Weiland hired me urgently."
The man carefully identified it for a moment before nodding: "Welcome, I'll notify someone over there to pick you up right away."
As he spoke, he said a few words on the intercom.
More than ten minutes later, Luke followed another person to a house further inside the complex and met an acquaintance, Charles Weiland, the chairman of Weiland Company.
The old white man's face was still as pale as before, and even though the room was warm, he didn't look very well.
Luke smiled and walked forward. He exchanged a few words with the super-rich tycoon and then got to the point: "Mr. Weiland, can you tell me what the specific mission is?"
On the phone, the tycoon only told the location of the mission but did not say the specific mission.
Wilander gestured to a middle-aged black man next to him: "This is Maxwell Stafford, the director of this operation and also my security director."
Stafford simply nodded to Luke and began to give a brief explanation of Luke's mission.
The Weyland Group discovered a mysterious relic on Bouvet Island a few days ago, so Weyland went there personally to explore, hoping to make big news.
As one of the security personnel in this operation and the one with the strongest individual ability, Wilander's personal security officer Maurice Cole caught a bad cold while on the arriving icebreaker.
Out of professional ethics, the top security guard requested a leave of absence.
In his words, in this state, if he encountered danger, there was a high possibility that he would make mistakes.
During an expedition, sometimes a mistake can have serious consequences.
Therefore, he gave up this temporary assignment with a bonus of up to 200,000 yuan and solemnly reminded his employer to find a new reliable personal security guard.
Wilander had no complaints about Morris's withdrawal.
This is not an ordinary job. Top security personnel should not take over the task by force when they know they are in trouble.
If something goes wrong with the employer, the credit rating in the industry will drop significantly, which will mean the end of your future job.
There is a popular saying in the security industry: boring is the best.
Because boredom means everything is peaceful.
Weiland actually has a lot of options.
As a member of the top wealthy circle and a group boss, he has all the security resources at his disposal.
However, when Weiland, who was facing the last moment of his life, was thinking about his replacement, he inadvertently thought of a young detective who had made him look "disgraced".
After a phone conversation with old man Aoki, Weiland chose to do as he pleased.
He has made many risky decisions in his life, but he has always made them leisurely in an extremely safe place.
He didn't want to think too much rationally this time.
Perhaps, this is the last time he will act on his own will!
For this willful decision, he offered a high commission of half a million US dollars.
Because old man Aoki said that he once offered Luke an annual salary of $500,000, but was rejected.
Weiland is not short of money, and he doesn't want to be rejected.
In fact, it was fortunate that the place he came to this time was so strange.
Antarctica!
If it weren't for Weiland's employment, Luke didn't know how long it would take for him to think of this place and make up his mind to travel.
Yes, Luke came here for a trip to Antarctica this time.
He didn't believe that a big shot like Weyland would suffer in Antarctica.
No matter how harsh life is in Antarctica, it can’t be as hard as that of the big guys.
Like now, the house is as warm as spring, and the biting low temperature outside that can freeze people into pieces is not felt at all.
After listening to the security director Stafford's story, Luke asked directly, "My duty is only to protect Mr. Weiland's safety, right?"
Stafford nodded: "Yes."
Luke: "So, I'm not Mr. Stafford's man, right?"
Stafford looked calm and continued to nod: "Yes. The previous security guard Morris was also only responsible for Mr. Weiland."
Luke looked at Weiland. The old man coughed lightly and said, "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry. Here, I am your only boss."
