Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 609 Winter Alaska
Mountain Eagle and Blood Fox met up at the airport, and then they had something to fill their stomachs, and then they separated in Anchorage...

Dalia went to the Captain's Hotel again, carrying a large suitcase containing $300 million, escorted by sea lions and donkeys.

This time Dalia needs to stay in Anchorage for a while...

She needed to acquire a base here that could match the Brown Bear Camp, which would have warehouses, hangars, oil depots, and a staff dormitory with qualified facilities.

At the same time, she also has to act as a liaison, feeding back the needs of the Brown Bear Camp to the market in Anchorage, purchasing what is needed there, and then delivering it to the Brown Bear Camp in a relatively low-cost way.

The most important thing is that Daria needs to pick up Xiaowan and the children who will arrive in a while.

Blood Fox's mission is to help Tank, whose mind is not clear, to settle his wife, take her to Thailand for surgery, and by the way, see if there is any way to solve Tank's brain problem.

At the same time, the old man also has to guide Tiffany and Lilith, let them familiarize themselves with the tasks that the Arctic Fox Rescue Team needs to perform, and by the way, incorporate the newly adult trainee tourist police Marta into their team.

Their first mission was to go to the Golden Triangle, pick up Snowden, and help the villages there sell their gold while purchasing the necessary supplies and weapons.

Things are simple, but according to the impressions left by the Golden Triangle and Mountain Eagle, Tiffany and the others may have to go through quite a bit of trials if they want to get the job done safely.

…………

We parted at the airport at dawn...

Mountain Eagle got into the cockpit of the King Air, and under the slightly nervous gaze of the Butcher and his companions, after more than ten minutes of preparation, he took off onto the runway under the command of the tower.

The flight went smoothly. The Sky King flew over the vast primeval forest and arrived above the brown bear camp in the morning light...

Alaska has entered winter in November, with daylight hours of about nine hours and an average of 11 days of snow per month.

Due to the latitude of the Brown Bear Camp, the snowfall in November is about 6 cm, the maximum average temperature is minus degrees Celsius, and the minimum average temperature is around minus degrees Celsius.

In addition, the surrounding mountains and forests block the cold wind, so the overall temperature and environment around the camp are relatively good.

During the same period, the temperatures in the Fairbanks area and the Arctic region at higher latitudes had reached minus 11 degrees and minus 16 degrees.

Moreover, the cold wind raging on the tundra will cause people's body temperature to lose quickly, so they will feel much colder.

Mountain Eagle deliberately flew the King Air around the brown bear camp and deliberately lowered the altitude to observe the valley where the laboratory was located.

The snowfall during this period did not completely cover the mountains, and Alaska, which was below zero degrees, still burst with strong vitality...

Large areas of spruce and pine trees remain green, with a little white snow pressing on the treetops, as if it is just an embellishment, and does not hinder them from stretching their bodies upward to show their tenacity.

At the exit of the north side of the valley, large areas of birch trees have become bare, with mottled white snow pressing on the golden fallen leaves.

When the morning light shines through the birch forest onto the ground, the golden spots formed by the fallen leaves are particularly dazzling against the backdrop of ice and snow.

The remaining grass and trees in the valley attracted a large number of reindeer, moose and various herbivores to gather here. They needed to store enough nutrients so that they could survive the extremely cold winter.

The Yukon River was not frozen during this period, and several centimeters of thick snow could not stop the plants in the swamp wetlands from growing hard and accumulating the last sunlight.

Shanying had to admit that this was truly a magical place. The animal and plant life here showed a tenacity that he had never seen before.

If Alaska's summer is a heavily made-up woman, then Alaska at the beginning of winter is like a warrior wearing animal skins, holding a battle axe and roaring that he will never surrender. He is declaring war on the extreme cold with his extremely vigorous vitality.

A large area around the valley all the way to Mishin, Russia, had been bought by Shanying. He flew a plane to the small town of Mishin, Russia, and took a flight around it...

A large number of cattle and sheep were driven to the vicinity of the town, and the Vidika Group left behind more than a dozen super-large warehouses as the last refuge for those cattle and sheep.

A dozen indigenous people who were not good at herding at all rode snowmobiles to drive the cattle and sheep to places where grass and trees grew to eat.

Several ships loaded with large bales of hay were parked at the dock, and forklifts were used to transport the bales of hay into cubes to the shelters for cattle and sheep.

Shanying was not sure if what these people were doing would allow the cattle and sheep to survive the winter, but since they couldn't eat them anyway, it was better to try than to watch the cattle and sheep freeze to death in the woods.

As Mountain Eagle circled the plane, little Ruby's voice came over the radio...

This optimistic guy shouted in an excited tone: "Boss, you are back..."

Hearing the call on the radio, Shanying picked up the radio and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm back...

Little Ruby, is my house finished?
The project had already been completed when I left, but you promised me that it would be completely finished in half a month.

I plan to bring my son over to spend the winter. If the house is not ready, you and your father will have to sleep in a tent during the winter..."

Little Ruby heard this and said loudly, "Don't worry, boss. The house has been built. If you come and see it, you will know that this is definitely the most luxurious house in the Yukon River Basin!"

Shanying was skeptical about this "most luxurious"... because in the eyes of a simple person like Little Ruby, the standard of luxury is access to water and electricity, warmth in winter, and comfortable sleeping...

Perhaps sensing that the boss didn't believe him, Ruby said anxiously, "Boss, what I said is true. You can see that your house is very beautiful..."

Boss, you won't believe me. I installed floor heating in the greenhouse according to the drawings provided by Dongda Factory, and I grew vegetables in winter...

Huai En and the others all said it was a miracle!
What I said is true..."

Little Ruby was in a hurry and spoke incoherently, so Shanying stopped teasing him and said with a smile: "I believe you, is the runway ready?
I'm about to land..."

Little Ruby said excitedly, "Boss, everything is ready. You will see it when you get there..."

Mountain Eagle had already seen lights on both sides of the runway at Brown Bear Camp...

The previously unpaved runway has now been paved with asphalt, and guidance lights have been installed on both sides to facilitate night takeoffs and landings.

There is no control tower or anything like that here. Only Little Ruby and Old Joe are standing on both sides of the runway holding high-powered flashlights and acting as commanders.

The Eagle skillfully began to slow down for landing. The King Air has excellent stall performance and great maneuverability. The Eagle landed the plane smoothly on the runway, glided to the end of the runway and slowly stopped the plane.

The moment the plane came to a complete stop, little Ruby drove over in a tractor and used a self-assembled unhook to slowly tow the King Air into a hangar.

Old Joe parked outside the hangar in an old truck that looked like it could die at any moment...

Seeing Shanying and the Butcher getting off the plane...

Hunter Old Joe walked over quickly, hugged Mountain Eagle warmly, squeezed Mountain Eagle's arm, then bent down and hugged Baran's neck and rubbed it. He found that Baran's hair had grown a lot, and he was no longer the alopecia that he had before. He said with relief: "Boss, a doctor from Anchorage came to see you and said that your body has not recovered to its best condition.

But you look great now!"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Ignore that guy, he wants to use me as a guinea pig...

I'm in great shape right now, and I think I can get even better, it just takes some time.

Fortunately, the last thing you have in Alaska’s winter is time, right?”

Old Joe listened, nodded slightly and said, "No wonder little Ruby wanted to build a gym in the barn. I thought he was crazy at first, but I didn't expect it was for you."

As Old Joe watched the butcher and his crew get off the plane with several large boxes, he looked left and right, and after finding that there was no more luggage, he said with a bit of regret: "Wasting transportation capacity is a crime in Alaska...

Put your luggage in the car first, and I'll take you around.

Brown Bear Camp is now very famous in the Yukon River Basin, and most of the things you purchased in the past have been consumed.

In order to survive the winter, the Aboriginal people and Inuit from upstream brought here the furs they had stored for many years.

We need another supply here..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Little Ruby, who was circling the Sky King. He smiled and greeted him, then tightened his clothes and quickly climbed onto the passenger seat of the truck...

Reaching out and pulling out a spring from the tattered cushion, Shanying looked at Lao Qiao with disdain and said, "Where did this broken thing come from?
Brown Bear Camp needs to be high-end and classy in the future. This kind of crap should go into a museum or a garbage dump."

Old Joe started the wheezing truck and said with a smile, “This is an old thing that Quetta and I found in the garbage dump of Little Ruby’s warehouse.

It was not easy to fix it, but even though it had a lot of problems, it was definitely good enough for the trip between the runway and the camp."

As he spoke, Old Joe stepped on the accelerator, and the old truck ran forward for a while, then was blocked on the road by a group of cows...

Old Joe stuck his head out and was about to yell something, but Baran jumped out of the truck and yelled at the nearby woods...

As Balan roared, the mountain eagle was surprised to find that several gray and white Mackenzie wolves had rushed out of the woods...

The little wolves showed their enthusiasm by nibbling and biting around Balang. After being taught a lesson by Balang, they began to drive away the cattle that were blocking the road.

Looking at the clever little wolves, Shanying said in surprise: "These wolves are well trained. Who did it?"

Old Joe looked at the majestic Balang with envy and said with a smile, "It's Balang, he has been teaching these little wolves how to work and hunt!
You have a good dog, much better than those two brown bears and two mountain lions!

If Baran has cubs with these wolves in the future, you must leave one for me. Maybe we can breed a new and better hound!"

Shanying looked at Baran who had become noticeably more active, and said with a smile, "Don't Malinois and Malinois have reproductive isolation?"
