A black Mercedes was traveling on the long-distance highway, followed closely by a large truck. Time passed quickly, and more than 20 hours had passed in an instant.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Dapeng and Yue Xudong took turns driving, while in the truck, Fengzi and Xiaohei took turns. It was already 5:30 in the morning, and after 21 hours, they had rushed from S City to Heilongjiang.
"Brother Xun, should we rush to the border now, or find a hotel to rest first?" Yue Xudong asked Liu Xun while sitting in the driver's seat.
"I guess everyone is tired. Let's go to the hotel and take a nap. When we get up, we'll eat something and leave in the evening." Liu Xun knew that although they took turns driving, the people in the car hadn't rested and were now too sleepy to open their eyes.
As for why they set out in the evening, it was because Liu Xun and his companions wanted to sneak across the border, not go there openly, so it was relatively safer at night than during the day.
Liu Xun slept until five o'clock in the afternoon, then he got up and called Di Yi and the others. After they had some food in the hotel, they headed towards Heihe. There are many borders between Russia and Heilongjiang, and Heihe is just one of them.
Two hours later, it was completely dark. Liu Xun and his companions parked the car aside, unloaded the motorboat from the truck, and pushed it onto the ice.
The banks of the Heihe River were frozen, but the water inside was still black. After pushing the motorboat down, Dapeng and Fengzi drove to a hotel close to the Heihe River, and then took a taxi to get here.
When all the personnel arrived, there were two people on each of the three motorboats, Liu Xun and Di Yi on one, Fengzi and Xiao Hei on one, and Dapeng and Yue Xudong on one.
At the beginning, they did not dare to start the motorboat, but just found some larger oars and paddled slowly. Because there were guards on the border, but for so many years, Russia and China have always had a good relationship, so the guards on the Heihe border were not very vigilant.
"Start the motorboats and head towards the Russian border." After leaving the area that the defenders could detect, the three motorboats started one after another and headed towards the Russian border city of 'Blagoveshchensk'.
When they reached the detection area of the Russian garrison, Liu Xun and his companions turned off the engine of the motorboat and paddled again. The lights of the guards almost discovered Liu Xun and his companions several times, but they were lucky and were not discovered in the end and arrived at the shore safely.
It was winter now. Everyone in China knew that the winters in Northeast China and Russia were very cold. Heavy snow covered the earth, a vast expanse of white. The snow was deep enough to reach the knees.
After applying antifreeze oil to the engine of the motorboat and covering it with snow, Liu Xun and six other men headed towards the Russian town on the border.
Blagoveshchensk is not only a city in Russia, it is also on the edge of Siberia. If they want to go deep into Siberia, which is the location Ryan told Liu Xun, what Liu Xun and his team need to do is to buy a vehicle that can drive in the snow.
"I need a car that can drive smoothly in the snow, and it must have enough gas! The price and everything else are negotiable." In the shadows of the street, Liu Xun was making a deal with a Russian.
"OK, I can meet your request, but I need cash transaction!" The Russian was cautious.
"Is RMB okay? If you want to convert it to rubles, I don't have time now." Liu Xun was in a hurry and he didn't want to waste any unnecessary time. After Liu Xun finished speaking, the Russian left.
A few minutes later, a modified vehicle stopped in front of Liu Xun and his six companions. Liu Xun gave Dapeng a look, and Dapeng walked up to the Russian with the cash box. The Russian opened the box and disappeared into the night.
Liu Xun knew Russian. When the six men arrived in the town, it was already late at night. Buying a car on the black market in an unfamiliar city was not a difficult task at all for Liu Xun, who was once a special forces soldier.
Six people got on the car one after another. This time Liu Xun drove. Siberia is not a snowy land, but the place Ryan said is in the snow! Blagoveshchensk is just the edge of Siberia. If you want to reach your destination, there is still a long way to go.
After driving from late at night until early morning, Liu Xun parked the car in a remote town. He knew that the place Ryan mentioned was not far away! In the vast snowfield ahead, there was no town ahead, only endless white snow, so Liu Xun and his team needed to rest and have enough food.
After Dapeng had discussed with the residents in the town, Liu Xun said softly: "Everyone go and rest, we will set off again in the evening!"
It also takes time to collect food. More importantly, the weather ahead is bad. Liu Xun wants to know more about this mysterious land. It took Liu Xun and his six companions two and a half days just to reach Siberia.
In the evening, Liu Xun was chatting with local residents in Russian. From the conversation, Liu Xun learned a lot of things, such as that in the snow ahead, vehicles were not as useful as a few sled dogs.
Liu Xun had heard Huo Xiong talk about sled dogs, so he stopped his car here. After paying a small amount of money, they chose to use sled dogs to enter the snow. The Russians were very enthusiastic, at least the people in this town were very enthusiastic, Liu Xun thought so.
The night air was cold, but the six people were wearing cotton jackets sold by the residents, so they didn't feel that cold. Liu Xun told the local residents that they were here for adventure, and the residents didn't doubt it because many people had come here for adventure.
"Xun... Brother Xun, it's damn cold!" Although he was wearing a cotton jacket, the madman still curled up. He was right, it was very cold! Especially in such a sparsely populated area, it was even colder!
"I guess we won't be able to get there until early morning." Liu Xun frowned and stroked the sled dog's head, and the sled dog continued to move forward.
"Tomorrow morning. We won't spend the night like this, will we? Someone could die!" The madman was obviously afraid of the cold. He shivered and spoke in a trembling voice.
"There's no other way. Sled dogs can't run just by having oil. They're animals and they'll get tired!" Sure enough, soon after Liu Xun finished speaking, the sled dog ran for an hour and then stopped, sticking out its tongue and panting.
Liu Xun took out a few pieces of cooked beef from his backpack and placed them in front of the sled dogs, who then began to eat them. Russians value sled dogs more than anything else. They are not only their friends, but also friends who can save their lives in the snow! Therefore... the food they feed the sled dogs is comparable to that of the local residents. (To be continued)
