Chapter 520: Leaving the Arctic
Jiang Ning had a feeling that the Russians would agree, but she didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.
Huo Yishen also agreed to teach the Russians how to fly a plane.
With the agreement in place, some Russians came to learn how to grow vegetables, while Huo Yishen went to teach the others how to operate helicopters.
With snowmobiles, they could go back and forth on time every day.
Every day, Huo Yishen would also go to the small land where the ice had broken through, mark the ice surface, and observe how it rose higher each day.
The growth wasn’t fast, but there was progress every day.
The latest news from the Russian hunting team was that with the arrival of summer, the ice and snow along the Arctic coast began to melt, and with the knowledge that the land formations were growing, some groups that had stored food during the winter started venturing offshore…
They longed for land and hoped to find a new place to settle.
However, their fleet had long run out of fuel. They could only drift with the wind and ocean currents, with no certainty of their destination.
Yet, hope burned brightly in their hearts.
Is there risk on the sea? When has a day without risk from natural disasters ever existed?
The rich tycoons also received intelligence about Jiang Ning’s plans to leave and grew restless.
Their group was not bad, with hundreds of people left along the coast to guard their ships.
Not only were there planes on the ship, but its fuel supply is also more than sufficient.
They are wealthy and they didn’t live poorly in the Arctic, but who wouldn’t want a better life?
So they sent people to inquire and asked where Jiang Ning’s group was headed.
Jiang Ning replied casually, “I got bored of living in the Arctic, so we’re going back to Huacheng Base for a break.”
The rich tycoon got upset and walked away with a dark expression on his face.
Jiang Ning laughed. If she had said they’d drift wherever the currents took them, would they have believed her?
They might even think she was hiding something.
Doudou always thought that growing vegetables was a simple thing.
However, teaching the Russians how to farm pushed her to the brink of collapse, even with her usually good temper.
“Sister-in-law, they really are…”
The little one couldn’t help but complain, “Taking notes is one thing, but they insist on using a measuring cup for every drop of nutrient solution and a scale for the fertilizer. I told them to estimate it, and they asked, ‘How can we estimate it?’”
Each vegetable had different needs, and it was something you could figure out with time.
But who would have thought they’d be so meticulous, even accusing her of withholding information and refusing to teach them properly?
It’s basically the same problem every time. Every vegetable has to be dealt with separately, including the temperature and humidity each hour, and how different fuels give off different heat.
On top of that, there was a language barrier, so most of the time, they could only gesture with their hands.
Doudou was going crazy. Why were they so stubborn?
Worried about driving Doudou crazy, Jiang Ning had to call Ivanov over to help.
Who knew that Ivanov, this bastard, had only spent a short time with Doudou and was already acting like he was attached to her, even saying he didn’t want to go back that night.
“Doudou, you’re so beautiful.”
Jiang Ning almost stuffed his mouth with crocodile manure.
When Huo Yishen also found out, he wanted to use the plane wing to knock his head off.
Sensing their murderous glares, Ivanov snapped back to reality and, with his hands on his chest, said, “Jiang, are you really leaving? Take my heart with you.”
Damn it, he had fallen for someone during a natural disaster.
Was this love?
Ivanov didn’t think so. It was like… How to say it, Doudou was like a blooming ice flower, not only attracting people’s attention, but also making them feel a sense of longing and admiration.
It’s beautiful, and it’s filled with hope.
Anyway, Ivanov learned how to grow vegetables and took hydroponic items back with him.
Huo Yishen’s training also came to an end.
Russians asked the two to stay for a few more days until they fully grasped the techniques.
For several days, helicopters circled over the Arctic, leaving countless people envious.
On a new day, a Black Hawk descended from the sky and landed steadily outside.
Ivanov came down from the plane with some Russians. “Instructor Huo.”
The vegetables planted by the Russians had sprouted, and the helicopter was flying very smoothly.
Ivanov came up and gave everyone a bear hug, including Doudou.
The plane was fully fueled and flew directly from the base.
With reluctance, Ivanov said, “Safe travels, and I hope we meet again someday.”
At the moment of parting, Jiang Ning said sincerely, “Ivanov, thank you for all the care you’ve shown us.”
The Russians, after seeing off the helicopter, didn’t leave right away. Instead, they wanted to stay and help.
Jiang Ning did not stop them and asked them to come into the house to help move and lift their things.
The container and things that should not appear had been put into the space, leaving only the compact tents, waterproof tarps, clothing, food, and a few boxes of antique artifacts Ivanov had gifted them.
Even the ice house was fake. There were no traces of the shipping containers’ sharp edges left.
As the luggage was loaded onto the helicopter, Huo Yishen checked the flight instruments while Jiang Ning said goodbye to the Russians.
Many neighbors came to watch, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
The propeller turned, and the strong wind blew the snowflakes around.
As soon as the helicopter took off, the neighbors rushed into their house.
“It’s mine! I got here first!”
“Bullshit! I was the first one inside!”
Several groups of people started fighting, aggressively fighting over the luxurious ice and snow house. Their eyes were full of hostility, as if they wanted to kill one another.
Ivanov kicked them all out and carefully checked the house inside and out.
The house had a number of things left behind: unfinished crocodile manure, bones tossed in the corner, crates of cultural relics chopped into firewood, and shattered chamber pots made of porcelain.
Apart from that, there was nothing.
Ivanov laughed. Grell and the others were just suspicious.
Not only did he lose two friends, but even the beautiful Doudou flew away.
Looking up at the sky, the Black Hawk was already gone.
The helicopter rose to 600 meters, and looking down, it was an endless ice field.
Doudou released the five in the box.
Coke was used to riding a helicopter, and he quickly hummed to comfort his frightened wife and children.
Bai Xue was panicking and kept scratching the floor with her claws. “Ah… Woo…”
Her voice was filled with sadness and reluctance.
Perhaps this was its way of bidding farewell to the Arctic.
The three pups snuggled up next to it, their curious eyes darting around.
For safety reasons, Doudou put on the parachute and tied the ruthless couple with a rope.
The three pups were placed in a cage, also tied down, and handed to Jiang Ning.
In order to save fuel, Jiang Ning put all the other supplies into the space.
The Arctic was vast, and even with the Black Hawk’s speed, it took over an hour to finally see the deep blue ocean.
Along the glacier’s edge, many boats of different shapes were docked, with various tents set up.
The ships that came early were completely frozen by ice and snow.
They didn’t have the ability to break the ice and could only move once the ice and snow had melted.
Jiang Ning held her binoculars and observed the different ways people were surviving in the end times.
After leaving the Arctic glaciers, Huo Yishen adjusted the flight mode to emergency status, activating additional power sources. Fully armed, the Black Hawk could fly up to 2,000 kilometers.
After another hour, the endless ocean stretched out before them.
The helicopter was flying very fast.
Doudou was worried that the altitude might not be enough because of the pressure from the land so she kept using her binoculars to search the ocean.
After nearly a thousand kilometers, Jiang Ning finally spotted a brownish thing on the sea surface.
Land!
