NOVEL NEXT Treasure hunt begins in England
Chapter 47 Target Russia
Chapter 47 Target Russia
It has never been an easy task to sort out the content you need from a large amount of information, but now that you have mastered the [Logic Enhancement (R)] card, Liang En feels that he can try it.
Maybe with the golden finger bonus, he could analyze something meaningful from the information that no one else had.
Of course, as a backup.Liang En also asked the housekeeper to give him a representative piece of the relics of Master Du Lisi.
At the beginning, the housekeeper didn't understand Liang En's actions.But after Liang En said that it was a little superstition where he prayed for luck to be on his side, the butler quickly agreed to his request.
After all, the reason why the earl's family entrusted this task to Liang En was that besides confirming that he was an upright person from the previous treasures, the most important reason was that he had luck beyond the reach of ordinary people.
So when this kind of luck-related matter is involved, the earl family's attitude towards this matter is naturally rather to believe it than to believe it.
So two hours later, the other party sent a person to deliver a broken camera that was left by the young master Du Lisi before his departure.
"This camera is one of the two cameras that Master Du Lisi used all the time before departure." The bodyguard who went to receive the fortune with the butler last time said to Liang En who was across the coffee table.
"At that time, he planned to bring two cameras at the same time and use one of them as a backup camera, but he didn't expect that there was something wrong with the shutter of this camera, so he stayed at home."
"Thanks, I'll be more confident if I have this thing." Liang En accepted the old camera and assured the bodyguard. "I want to ask, when do you plan to leave?"
After watching Liang En put away the old-fashioned camera, the bodyguard of the Earl's family asked on behalf of the Earl's family.
"I will leave as soon as possible." Hearing this question, Liang En replied immediately. "Because it's already November, if it's any later, the Russian winter will make it difficult for us to move forward."
"Do you think we can really find that missing war correspondent with just two of us?" Pierce, sitting in the passenger seat of a Ladaniva heading north from St. Petersburg, was driving five days later. asked Liang En.
"It's not sure yet." Liang En shook his head lightly and said. "However, I found some interesting things in those materials before, so I must go to the scene to check."
[Logic Enhancement (R)] This card does have extraordinary power. Under the premise of owning this card, Liang En can quickly analyze a large amount of data, and at the same time summarize the effective parts.
So during the preparation time of these few days, Liang En quickly found a series of things he wanted from the pile of materials accumulated for decades.
Of course, in the process of organizing these documents, Liang En also realized what these documents did not cover.That's why I came to the Russian exploration site after finishing the systematization of those documents.
After more than half an hour out of the city, they drove off the road, and then drove towards the forest along a war preparation road that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years.
"How could there be such a road in the woods?" Pierce, who thought there was a wilderness below, looked curiously at the asphalt road full of cracks.
"This should have been repaired during the Cold War." Liang En glanced at the rotten road sign on the side of the road with only a rusty iron rod left. "Don't forget that this is the flank of St. Petersburg. From there, more than 100 kilometers to the north is the Soviet-Finnish border, so naturally there are many military facilities."
"Just park the car here." After driving along the military sidewalk in the jungle for a minute or two, the two parked the car in a clearing.A metal detector, a shovel and a shotgun were then removed from the trunk.
Although those bears have basically stopped their activities in November, but in case any bear is too full to go out for a walk, some self-defense weapons are still essential.
"Do you think there will be bombs or landmines in this place?" Looking at the surrounding situation, Pierce showed a nervous look on his face.
Before coming to Russia, he checked a lot of information on the Internet, many of which reminded Russia that there were a lot of dangerous explosives left on the battlefields related to World War II, and now this forest was the front line of the war.
"Don't worry, although this place belongs to the war zone, it is not the front line of the exchange of fire between the two sides, so basically there is not much explosive material." Liang En, who was walking in front, said.
"More importantly, this place used to be a field staging area for the military during the Cold War, so if there were any dangerous explosives, they would have been cleared away by those people long ago."
"Then what are we doing here now?" Pierce asked puzzled. "Since there has been a construction here before, it is estimated that something should be taken away."
"Don't worry, we didn't come here this time to dig out something, but to recover the possible escape route of the missing war correspondent." Liang En said as he walked forward.
"Because of the information I found before, I can confirm that the reporter was not killed or even injured after the shelling ended, so I came here mainly to restore the direction in which the other party might escape."
"It should be here—" After leaving the car and advancing 400 meters in the forest, the two stopped in a depression.
The area of this depression is not that big, at most it can only fit half a basketball court.I don't know how many years of accumulated yellow leaves almost completely filled this not-so-deep depression.
If Liang En hadn't obtained the detailed map from the Earl's steward and the photos taken by the previous treasure hunters, he might have skipped this terrain that can be seen everywhere in the forest.
"You mean, that's where the Finnish army squad was shelled?" Watching Liang En use a trekking stick to detect the size of the depression, Pierce took off the shotgun and stared at it vigilantly. around, asked at the same time.
"That's right, according to the records obtained by the earl and the others from Russia. It was an elite unit that was attacked at that time, so after encountering the attack of the Finnish army, it directly used the 10mm artillery of the BA-45 to fight back."
After confirming the general terrain of the pit and its surroundings, Liang En talked about some things he had analyzed in the previous information.
"Because of the use of this small-caliber direct-firing artillery, except for one person who died on the spot, the other Finns hiding in this pit, including our war correspondent, all survived."
"After realizing that they had been spotted, the team immediately withdrew from here and returned to their position. But the Soviet army stopped on the road over there kept firing at them and shooting—"
"If someone shoots with a weapon in the dark, it is indeed easier to get lost in this kind of place." Hearing Liang En's words, Pierce looked at the surrounding dense forest with a clear expression, and then frowned. .
"But the problem is, this forest is so big, how can we determine which direction the other party is running?"
