Chapter 17 Arrival at the Destination
Before getting off the plane, Li Yuan put the pies, guns, and various medicines into his system space.
Then, carrying an empty bag, I walked down the Gulfstream GIV.
Then they boarded a helicopter that had been prepared in advance.
The group headed straight for their destination, the mountain range.
On the plane, Bruce explained the upcoming arrangements to Li Yuan:
"The rescue team is ready, consisting of local police and a professional geological survey team."
Li Yuan nodded noncommittally.
He knew there was actually one other person in the group.
She's Sarah, the female lead from the previous film.
In the previous movie, the family finally managed to escape from the underground hellhole.
In the second installment, it was sent back to them.
Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud at this thought.
Bruce, who was standing to the side, was a little confused.
Shortly afterward, the helicopter landed in a clearing in the forest, where a police car had been waiting for some time.
An obese white sheriff, pressing down on his hat which was almost blown off his head, jogged toward Li Yuan and his companion.
"Hello, Mr. Bruce, was the journey smooth?"
The sheriff's face was plastered with a smile, tinged with a hint of ingratiation.
Bruce, however, slightly raised his chin and said coldly:
"Let's get going, Sheriff Vince, time is of the essence."
"That's right, let's talk in the car!"
Sheriff Vince led the two men to the police car.
Li Yuan also met Sarah, the female lead from the previous installment.
She was leaning against the car window with vacant eyes, the wound on her face still not healed.
At this point, she had suffered temporary amnesia due to extreme shock.
"Um...please make do, she's very important."
Sheriff Vince explained the woman's origins:
"Miss Juno was one of six people, but she was the only one who escaped from the cave."
Seeing that a clue had appeared, Bruce quickly asked:
Did she say anything?
"Unfortunately, no, she seems to have amnesia."
Sheriff Vince shrugged helplessly.
"Perhaps traveling with us will remind her of something."
After the car started, the sheriff introduced the Black female police officer in the passenger seat:
"This is Officer Rios; he'll be going down with us for the search and rescue."
Bruce nodded and explained:
"This is Mr. Li. You will be following his orders in this operation."
Sheriff Vince was taken aback by this, and asked with some skepticism:
"Him? A young Asian man, why?"
"Mr. Kaplan is also Asian."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Bruce, I didn't mean anything by it!"
Upon hearing Bruce's words, Sheriff Vince immediately began to explain nervously.
Bruce glared at Vince and then said in a deep voice:
"I don't care what you think, but this operation is up to Mr. Li, and it's Mr. Kaplan's decision."
"Okay, no problem!" Sheriff Vince immediately compromised and agreed.
However, the way his eyes glanced at Li Yuan revealed his resentment.
Li Yuan didn't care; all he wanted this time was to rescue Juno safely.
He didn't care about the lives or deaths of others.
Of course, if it doesn't cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind helping out.
In the silence, the car soon arrived at the meeting point.
An abandoned mine shaft discovered by police.
At this moment, a professional exploration team of three was already waiting here.
"Hey Dan, this is Mr. Bruce."
After getting out of the car, Sheriff Vince greeted Dan, the leader of the exploration team; the two were old acquaintances.
Dan frowned and looked over, saying helplessly:
"Am I not only supposed to take you down there, but also them?"
He looked at Vince, his expression full of impatience:
"We're on a search and rescue mission, not a vacation!"
"Sir, please calm down."
Bruce smiled and reassured him:
"You just need to take Mr. Li downstairs; he'll handle any unexpected situations."
"An unexpected situation?"
The search and rescue efforts of the past few days have left Dan completely overwhelmed. He roared:
"What else is down there? Are there wild animals?"
"That's hard to say."
Li Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, you won't be in danger."
"Taking you down there is dangerous in itself."
Dan glared at Li Yuan, then stormed off toward the small building in the mine.
At this moment, his two trainees were clearing debris from the mine elevator.
Li Yuan watched the departing figure and thought to himself:
"This guy was at least somewhat vigilant, but unfortunately he focused on the wrong thing and ended up getting screwed over by his incompetent teammate."
Bruce ignored the other person, turned around and handed the DV to Li Yuan, instructing him:
"Miss Juno's safety is in your hands. Please do your utmost, Mr. Li."
Don't worry.
Li Yuan nodded and walked towards the mine.
After some discussion, the people who went down the well were Li Yuan, Sarah, Sheriff Vince, Officer Rios, Dan, and his two trainees Craig and Cathy.
After the personnel were confirmed, the exploration team leader, Dan, spoke first:
"Everyone, go and change into your professional exploration equipment. And the two officers with guns, please leave your weapons behind."
Amidst the puzzled looks of the others, Dan offered an explanation:
"Because firing a gun in a mine is very dangerous and could cause a collapse."
Upon hearing this, the two had no choice but to remove their holsters and leave them in the car.
However, Sheriff Vince played a trick.
While everyone was turning around to change their equipment, he quickly shoved the gun into his lower back and pulled his clothes over it.
Li Yuan, who had been staring at him, teased him from behind:
"Sheriff Vince, you'd better listen to the advice of a professional."
The sudden sound startled Vince.
He glared at Li Yuan and said, "This is my life, I can't leave it behind!"
"Then you shouldn't go down."
Li Yuan stared at him coldly, showing no sign of backing down.
In the original story, it was this idiot's impulsive shooting that caused the landslide.
"snort!"
Vince snorted and tossed the pistol back into the car.
Bruce watched from a short distance away, not daring to disobey Li Yuan's words.
After everyone changed into their gear, they gathered at the mine's elevator.
The mine's caretaker is an elderly man in his sixties.
As everyone slowly gathered around, he recounted his family's records about the mine.
"My father and his friend once strayed into the cave system below. But they never came out again."
Li Yuan asked with a curious expression:
"How did you know your father went there and didn't come back?"
Li Yuan's question left the old man speechless for a moment, and he stammered:
"Um...that's just my guess. I'm getting old, I can't remember..."
Li Yuan stared at the old man for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:
"Come down with us. We can also look for your father's remains while we're at it."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Yuan's words.
Officer Rios frowned, about to speak, but was stopped by Chief Vince's look.
Dan roared in uncontrollable rage:
"Are you fucking crazy? What's the point of taking him down there?"
"I'm in charge here. I can bring whoever I want."
Li Yuan said in a deep voice, then turned his gaze to the old man:
"Let's go, sir."
"I...I'm not going down! I'm just a doorman!"
Seeing that Li Yuan was not joking, the old man finally panicked and retreated repeatedly, ready to run away at any moment.
However, how could Li Yuan possibly let this guy go!
He stepped forward, grabbed the old man by the collar, and lifted him onto the elevator.
He then said, "Alright, let's go!"
The group exchanged glances and, for the sake of money, all held back.
In the end, only Bruce and a male police officer remained to guard the place.
As Bruce pressed the start button
The elevator creaked and groaned as it slowly descended into the dark mine.
Li Yuan stared coldly at the old man he had grabbed, inwardly chuckling:
"I wonder if your children will eat you after you go down there!"
