Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 678 Wilderness Hiking
After returning to the hotel, Liang En quickly used the map to further confirm with the information at hand, and finally targeted a location in the western Yukon that was generally more southerly. "It seems that a life in the wild is about to begin again."
Naturally, there can't be only two people in field operations, so Fan Meng and the White Knight team, who will arrive here as soon as possible, join together, and then take a small plane to the Yukon.
The Yukon Territory covers an area of 483,450 square kilometers (similar to the area of Spain) and is located in eastern Alaska, between British Columbia and the Arctic Ocean.
However, despite such a large area, the local permanent population is not large, only more than 40,000, of which 30,000 live in Whitehorse.
The word "Yukon" comes from the Gwich'in language "Yuk-un-ah," which means "big river," referring to the Yukon River that flows through the region, meanders across Alaska, and finally empties into the Bering Sea.
At the end of the 18th century, Yukon showed a prosperous trade scene, continuously transporting fur products to Asia, Europe and North America.
Robert Campbell eventually built Fort Selkirk for the Hudson's Bay Company, but the company was eventually driven out by coastal Tlingit traders.
However, with the indiscriminate hunting and killing of these colonists, the local animal resources were rapidly depleted, and as a result, the place returned to silence in just a few decades.
"Isn't there anyone to build the road?" When his head hit the roof of the car again, the big black man in the group called Tyson complained.
This Tyson is an American. After graduating from high school, he worked as a sailor for several years and then joined the French Foreign Legion. He just retired last year. For this 2m1 big man, this off-road vehicle is indeed a bit too small now.
"Stop dreaming, there are no roads in this place." Joan of Arc, who was driving in front, shouted equally loudly. “Just being able to find a place where cars drive is pretty good.”
This road looked like one of those local trails used by lumberjacks in the past, but it looked like it had been abandoned for twenty or thirty years.
If it weren't for the relatively slow growth of plants in this cold zone, then this road would probably have completely disappeared into a sea of green, instead of being barely accessible to vehicles like it is now.
This is a road that cannot be called a road. Both sides are covered with white spruce trees with a diameter of 70 to 80 centimeters. Occasionally, you can still see snow in many places.
The gap left between these tall fir trees is even enough for a heavy truck, but there are some shrubs and other plants on the ground that form obstacles.
In other words, if the end of this road really holds the target that everyone wanted to find before, then it means that if we really need to carry out large-scale search and excavation, we only need to simply strengthen the original road surface.
According to everyone's previous plan, they would spend two days on the road and then start searching the target location. However, judging from the current road, they may be able to compress the time to about a day and a half.
However, more than an hour later, Liang and the others realized that their previous imagination was too optimistic: they found that a part of the only way along the river was buried for more than ten meters due to landslides.
"This is not man-made, but a landslide caused by the cracks in the rock allowing water to enter and the cold water freezing at night to expand the cracks in the rocks." After getting out of the car to check for a while, Fan Meng walked to the car and Liang En said.
"What a bad luck - can we get around it somewhere else?"
"No, because there is only this place where cars can pass." Fan Meng said helplessly, "Then we have to park the car here and walk to the destination."
"This is really unlucky." After hearing the final conclusion, Liang En shrugged helplessly, then opened the car door and prepared to retrieve equipment from the trunk.
For Liang En and the others, this was something that was expected. After all, this was a vast wilderness far away from human activities. The fact that the car could drive so far was far beyond their expectations.
"Is it okay to leave the car here?" Just as everyone was packing their luggage and getting ready to set off, Joan asked the three off-road vehicles parked on the high ground not far away.
"No problem, no one will come to this place at all, so you don't have to worry about someone stealing the car." Louis said, putting his backpack on his back, "And we won't be in the wild for more than a month. Week."
Fortunately, as long as you pass through this landslide area, you can still go forward along the road belonging to the loggers, so the overall journey is much easier than traveling in the real wilderness.
After walking for a while, the trees on the roadside began to grow thicker, and the road became narrower and more bumpy.
Looking up at the three ravens circling overhead, Liang En turned the 56 he had carried behind his back halfway to his chest, and then carefully walked forward along the increasingly narrow road.
These three ravens were brought here by Fan Meng and the others, because it would obviously be safer for Liang En to let these ravens help detect the surrounding area.
As for the other professionals, they were not idle either. Just when Liang En and the others were arming themselves, others also prepared their own weapons and were always alert to the surrounding situation.
This season can be considered a very dangerous season, because hibernating bears are waking up from hibernation, and wolves are also swimming in the forest. They are even crazier than usual because of lack of food.
"The raven told me that there is something unusual around me." Liang En whispered after everyone was ready. "Yes, there are some footsteps approaching."
Joan of Arc clenched the rifle in her hand. At this time, her enhanced hearing had already heard the sound of something approaching in the distance.
"What -" After hearing what Liang En and Joan of Arc said, Louis, who had only subconsciously prepared for battle before, asked with some confusion, but at this moment a black shadow passed by the forest in the distance.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was some snow on the shady side of the hillside in the distance to form a white background, maybe no one would notice the small black dot in the distance.
"It should be a wild boar." Hans, who had served as an observer before, raised the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance before saying. "This thing is more troublesome than wolves and bears."
"Then what should we do?" Liang En asked. "Fire two shots to scare these guys away." Hans thought for a moment and said. "We are not conducting covert operations now. We can definitely make some noise to drive these guys away."
After two gunshots, Liang En discovered through the raven that the wild boars that were trying to approach were running towards the jungle. At the same time, Hans also observed that the wild boars began to move away from the road.
"Okay, those wild boars have left." Hans said, putting down the telescope in his hand. For him, it would definitely be dangerous if those wild boars came close.
Because for those wild boars, even if the military rifles used by Liang En and the others hit a few shots, as long as they missed their vital points, they would not be able to stop their attack. Instead, they would cause them to attack everything around them crazily.
