Speaking of this, Weiland's panting became short.
Stafford took over his words: "I am responsible for this operation and the safety of the overall personnel. I will not ask you to do extra things. It is your only duty to protect Mr. Weiland."
Luke smiled and nodded: "Very well, I will abide by the team's rules and regulations."
Stafford finally smiled.
Both of them are activists, so they have to be so straightforward in doing things, draw up their authority in person, and reach a consensus.
The next moment, Weiland stood up: "Luke, can I call you that?"
Luke nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Weiland."
Wieland: "Although you've just arrived, you're a great guy, and you've had three days off in Ushuaia. Now we need to get into that ruins and catch up with the team that's already gone. Do you have any comments?"
Luke was stunned, but nodded immediately: "No problem. But on the way to the past, can Mr. Stafford explain to me the information about the ruins that are about to enter?"
Weiland: "No problem."
Stafford also stood up: "Luke, you can call me Stafford. What equipment do you need?"
Luke shrugged: "A weapon that can be used here? After all, I don't have time to prepare these."
Stafford directly pressed the intercom: "Send a set of medium-sized standard equipment over here, right now."
Then, the middle-aged black man went to help Weiland wear the clothes and equipment for going out, and said to Luke: "Mr. Weiland is not in good health, you have to take care of him at all times."
Luke walked over to help get Weiland's equipment in order.
This rich man is old and frail, and seems to be sick. He can't do many things by himself. I really don't know why he wants to take risks in Antarctica.
Luke's equipment was also delivered soon.
The whole set of equipment is specially configured for the harsh environment of the arctic, such as tactical vests, walkie-talkies, firearms, magazines, flashlights, glow sticks, ropes, a little medical supplies and so on.
Compared with Weiland's extremely difficult movements, Luke's actions were extremely fast, and he completed his outfit in two minutes: "Let's go, Mr. Weiland."
The three pushed the door out.
While walking ahead, Stafford also paid attention to Luke, only to find that his movements were swift and steady.
And Luke didn't just walk on his own, but also supported Willander with one hand, and moved forward easily, not much slower than Stafford.
Well, at least the young man is strong! Stafford gave Luke a √ in his heart.
A strong body is a basic requirement in expeditions, and it is better to have something than nothing.
A few minutes later, the three arrived under a large shed in the wide area, which was formed by pulling out a piece of tarpaulin from the wreckage of a house.
Looking at a straight passage slanting downwards, Luke couldn't help being surprised: "How deep is this? Did you dig it out?"
Stafford glanced at Willander, and pointed at the house: "We have a professional drilling team, who came to work in advance, and it goes straight to the remains under the ice layer of 600 meters."
"So deep?" Luke was even more surprised when he heard the depth, and solemnly suggested to Weiland: "Mr. Weiland, the underground environment at this depth is not good, do you still insist?"
Weiland took two steps forward, got on a crane at the entrance of the cave, and motioned for the two to stand on it.
After the two caught up, Weiland entered the password and activated the down button.
There is a special plate with a fence on the crane, which is a simple lifting platform, and the three people are put down.
Weiland's voice came out of the mask, a little vaguely: "Detective Luke, I want to go down in person."
Luke frowned: "Why?"
A super rich man and an old man, if he really loves adventures so much, he would have been famous all over the world long ago.
But Weiland does not have the attribute of love of adventure in people's memory.
Weiland coughed twice: "I'm sick. Maybe within a few months, the doctor will announce my death. Do you know what will happen?"
Luke was stunned and speechless. He looked at Stafford and found that the head of security looked calm.
Obviously, he was someone who knew the news a long time ago, and he was definitely Weiland's hard-core confidant.
"Except that the company's stock will drop by 12-18%, nothing else..." Wieland continued indifferently without waiting for Luke's answer: "I am also afraid of death, but I am more afraid of dying in obscurity like ordinary people .”
Luke sighed, not knowing what else to say.
Weiland stared at Luke: "Do you have any questions now? Luke."
Luke looked at the entrance of the hole that was gradually moving away, and let out a sigh of relief: "Let's go, Mr. Weiland, it's best to go back quickly."
…
At this moment in space, a huge warship floats quietly.
A prompt in alien language is sounding: "The hunting operation has been approved by the high-level guardian of this planet."
"During the hunting operation, the battleship will monitor the whole process to ensure that no prey escapes the hunting area and affects the normal order of the planet."
"The hunting operation is an independent action, and no one is allowed to interfere with the battle except the contestants."
"The hunting sacrifice has entered the hatching room."
"The hunt begins."
"The time limit for hunting operations is twenty-four hours."
"The number of participants in the hunting operation is three."
"The hunting landing ship is ready to launch."
"The hunting landing ship will be automatically recovered in twenty-four hours at the latest."
"Hunters, good luck."
…
On an Antarctic island, in an ice cave.
The speed of the small platform's descent was not slow, and it landed at the bottom after a while.
The two left-behind personnel were beside the crane, and when they saw the three of Weiland, they greeted them respectfully.
Compared with the wind and snow above, the temperature here has increased a lot, from tens of degrees below zero to more than ten degrees below zero.
Everyone also took off their masks.
Luke stopped Weiland from doing so: "You are not a young man, it is best not to breathe too much cold air."
Weiland coughed lightly, with a smile on the corner of the mask, satisfied in his heart: "OK, you have the final say."
When he came down, Stafford was already introducing Luke's previous discovery.
The main force of Weiland's expedition team arrived not much earlier than Luke.
Due to safety considerations and the need to transport a large number of personnel and materials and equipment, they arrived here early this morning by icebreaker.
Now, it has only been less than an hour since the first expedition team entered the ruins.
Weiland also stayed on board temporarily with Stafford after receiving the news that Luke had departed from Ushuaia by plane, waiting for his arrival.
"How many people did you go in?" Luke asked while supporting Willander forward.
Stafford: "The security team consists of 20 people, 25 external experts of various kinds, and 38 auxiliary staff."
Luke twitched in his heart: Just for the thought of Weiland's death, nearly a hundred people were sent to a remote island in Antarctica in a few days.
Being rich and self-willed is indeed an epidemic among the wealthy class.
