Five Hundred and Eighty-Two Chapters Go Down the Hole, the Hunting Action Begins

Speaking of which, Willand's breath became quicker.

Stafford took over his words: "I'm in charge of this operation, and the safety of the crew as a whole. I'm not asking you to do anything extra, it's your sole responsibility to protect Mr. Willand."

Luke nodded with a smile: "Very good, I will also abide by the team's rules and regulations."

Stafford finally smiled.

Both of them are activists, so they should be so straightforward and direct in their work, clear their authority face to face, and reach a consensus.

The next moment, Willand stood up: "Luke, can I call you that?"

Luke nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Willand."

Wieland: "Although you just arrived, you're a great guy, and you've had three days off in Ushuaia. Now we need to get into that ruin and catch up with the team that's already set off. Do you have any comments?"

Luke was stunned, but nodded immediately: "No problem. But can Mr. Stafford explain to me the information about the ruins that are about to enter on the way?"

Willand: "No problem."

Stafford also stood up: "Luke, you can call me Stafford. What equipment do you need?"

Luke shrugged: "A weapon that can be used here? After all, I don't have time to prepare these."

Stafford pressed the intercom directly: "Send me a set of standard equipment of medium size, right away."

Then, the middle-aged black man went to help Willand wear the clothes and equipment for going out, and said to Luke, "Mr. Willand is not in good health. You have to take care of him at all times."

Luke walked over and helped to get Wieland's equipment ready.

This rich man is old and frail. He seems to be still sick. He can't do many things himself.

Luke's equipment was also delivered soon.

The whole set of equipment is specially configured for the harsh environment of the polar region, such as tactical vest, walkie-talkie, firearms, magazines, torches, glow sticks, ropes, a little medical supplies and more.

Compared with Willand's extraordinarily difficult movements,

Luke's actions were extremely fast, and he completed the outfit in two minutes: "Let's go. Mr. Willand."

The three pushed out the door.

Stafford walked ahead while paying attention to Luke, only to find that his movements were fast and steady.

Moreover, Luke was not walking by himself, but also supported Willander with one hand, and moved forward easily, not much slower than Stafford.

Well, at least this young man is strong! Stafford gave Luke a √ in his heart.

A strong body is the basic requirement in expeditions, and it is better than nothing.

A few minutes later, the three arrived under a large shed in the wide area, which was formed by pulling out a tarpaulin from the remains of a house.

Looking at a straight passage that was facing downwards, Luke couldn't help but be surprised: "How deep is this? Did you dug it out?"

Stafford glanced at Willand and pointed to the house: "We have a professional drilling team who came to work in advance. It goes straight to the ruins under the 600-meter ice layer."

"So deep?" Luke was even more surprised when he heard the depth, and solemnly suggested to Willand: "Mr. Willand, the underground environment of this depth is not very good, do you still insist on it?"

Willand took the first two steps, got on a crane at the entrance of the cave, and motioned for the two to stand up.

After the two caught up, Wieland entered the password and activated the drop button.

There is a special board with a fence on the crane, which is a simple lifting platform, which puts the three people down.

Wieland's voice came out of the mask, and it was a little vague: "Detective Luke, I'm going down in person."

Luke frowned: "Why?"

A super-rich, still an old man, who really loves adventure so much, has long been known all over the world.

But Willand does not have a love of adventure in people's memory.

Willand coughed twice. "I'm sick. Maybe within a few months, the doctor will announce my death. Do you know what's going to happen?"

Luke was speechless, looked at Stafford, and found that the security chief looked calm.

Obviously, he was the one who knew the news for a long time, and he was definitely Willand's hardcore confidant.

"Except that the company's stock will drop by 12-18% percentage points, the rest... nothing." Willand did not wait for Luke to answer, and continued indifferently: "I am also afraid of death, but even more afraid of being anonymous like ordinary people. die."

Luke sighed, not knowing what to say.

Willand stared at Luke: "Any questions now? Luke."

Luke looked at the opening of the cave that was gradually getting away, and let out a breath: "Let's go, Mr. Willand, it's best to go and return quickly."

...

At this moment in space, a huge warship is floating quietly.

A prompt in an alien language is sounding: "The hunting operation has been approved by the high-level guardian of this planet."

"During the hunting operation, the warship will monitor the whole process to ensure that no prey escapes from the hunting area, affecting the normal order of the planet."

"The hunting operation is a solo operation, and no one except the contestants shall interfere in the battle."

"The hunting offering has entered the hatching room."

"The hunt begins."

"The time limit for hunting operations is twenty-four hours."

"The number of participants in the hunting operation is three."

"The Hunting Landing Ship is ready to launch."

"The hunting landing ship will be automatically recovered after twenty-four hours at the latest."

"Hunters, good luck."

...

An Antarctic island, in an ice cave.

The speed of the small platform's descent was not slow, and it landed to the bottom after a while.

The two left-behind personnel were beside the crane, saw the three of Willand, and greeted them respectfully.

Compared with the snowstorm above, the temperature here has increased a lot, from a few dozen degrees below zero to more than ten degrees below zero.

Everyone also took off their masks.

Luke stopped Willand from doing so: "You're not a young man, it's best not to inhale too much cold air."

Willand coughed lightly, the corners of the mask's mouth smiled, and said with satisfaction: "OK, you have the final say."

When they came down, Stafford was already introducing Luke to his previous findings.

The main force of Willand's expedition did not arrive much earlier than Luke.

For safety reasons and the need to transport a large number of people and supplies, they arrived here early this morning by icebreaker.

Now, the first expedition team entered the ruins in less than an hour.

Willander also received the news that Luke had departed from Ushuaia by plane, so he and Stafford stayed there temporarily, waiting for his arrival.

"How many people did you get in?" Luke asked while holding Willander forward.

Stafford: "There are 20 security team members, 25 external experts of various types, and 38 auxiliary staff."

Luke smacked his tongue in his heart: Just for the sake of remembering the name of this person from Wayland, he brought nearly a hundred people to a remote island in the Antarctic in a few days.

Being rich and self-willed is indeed an epidemic of the rich.
