The Arctic at the end of summer is not very cold. The snowmobile is moving forward against the wind. Although the wind blowing on the face is cool, it is not biting.
There was no sign of the wolves around the snowmobile.
It wasn't because the car was going too fast that it threw them away.
But because Huo Yu was about to arrive at his destination, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he let the wolves hide around him.
Through his cold-proof glasses, Huo Yu saw several Icekeeper snowmobiles gathering in the distance, and a large base vehicle mixed in among them.
Hearing the sound of Huoyu's snowmobile approaching, everyone's eyes turned towards him.
Being watched by so many people at once, Huo Yu frowned.
It wasn't that he was frightened by being watched by so many people, but that the number of ice keepers summoned was much smaller than he expected.
There were less than fifty people in total.
This number of ice guards is more than enough to perform other tasks, including combat tasks, but it is far from enough to fight hundreds of elite criminals.
Standing at the front were three women and two men, a total of five ice keepers.
They were talking to each other, with somewhat sad expressions on their faces.
Huo Yu calmed down and slowly stopped the snowmobile in front of the crowd.
The five leading ice guards immediately gathered around and greeted Huo Yu one by one.
"Huo, my friend."
"We meet again, Station Master Huo."
"Come, brother?"
"Stationmaster Huo, I'm here to help you too."
Huo Yu looked at the concerned eyes of several acquaintances, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
"You are all here."
Huo Yu and Barton high-fived each other, gave Wu Lanni a gentle hug, rolled his eyes at Bai Xiaomo, smiled at Su Peipei and nodded, and finally looked at the silent strange man behind the four of them.
The man met Huo Yu's gaze and said calmly: "Huang Yi, combat captain of the 009 scientific research station."
Huo Yu took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Hello, Huo Yu, the director of the 249 scientific research station."
Huang Yi was just a little colder, not arrogant. He went up to Huo Yu and shook hands.
After letting go of his hand, Huang Yi asked: "Stationmaster Huo, all the intermediate ice keepers and above are here. What do we do next?"
Among the five people present, Huang Yi has the highest level.
The combat captain of a base-level scientific research station is at least a senior icekeeper.
Despite this, after all, the person in charge of this operation was Huo Yu, and Huang Yi was very self-aware and did not try to dominate the situation.
Huo Yu looked at the dozens of ice guards behind him and asked, "That's all."
Bai Xiaomo said disdainfully: "The ancestors from our scientific research station don't dare to come. This time I will bring 11 people."
With a smile on his face, Barton puffed out his chest that said 'I am a spare tire' and said, "Everyone who can fight at our scientific research station is here, a total of 25 people."
Huang Yi said bluntly: "I brought 15 people, all combatants from the 009 scientific research station."
Huo Yu nodded and thought about it secretly.
Counting myself, there were more than fifty people in total.
Counting the wolves, there were barely a hundred creatures.
But now is the period of extreme daylight, and the Arctic wolf has no cover of night. Facing humans armed with thermal weapons, it will have little effect.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy to rely on such a small number of people to fight against hundreds of illegal organizations.
The criminals were not the poachers Huo Yu had encountered before who could be easily eliminated.
The main job of poachers is to kill animals, and their side job is to kill animals.
The criminals make a living by killing people. Most of them are retired soldiers and mercenaries from other countries. Their combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the ice guards.
If the number of people was this small, although Huo Yu was confident that he could lead these people to defeat the illegal organization, he could not guarantee that there would be no casualties on the ice guard side.
"Let's wait a moment. There may be brothers from other scientific research stations who haven't come yet." Huo Yu suggested to several people.
Except for Huang Yi, these people are all friends of Huo Yu, so naturally they have no objections.
Although Huang Yi felt that it was already the prescribed gathering time, if he didn't come at this time, it would be almost impossible to come again.
But his purpose was to protect Su Peipei, and he couldn't afford to antagonize Huo Yu, so he acquiesced.
Several people asked their respective team members to rest where they were, and then walked aside to wait.
Barton approached Huo Yu mischievously, revealing the sweater in his combat uniform with his arms open, and laughed loudly: "The weather is quite good today."
Huo Yu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good."
Barton scratched his head, then stretched out his hand to pinch Huo Yu's combat uniform: "Your clothes are good, unlike mine, they don't fit as well as your body."
"If you like it, I can give you a set?"
"No need." Barton replied carelessly and began to take off his coat. "Oh, global warming is getting serious again. It's a bit hot in the Arctic today, isn't it?"
Huo Yu looked at the sweater on his body and knew that he could not escape this situation, so he could only agree with surprise:
"Hey, Station Master Barton, where did you buy this sweater? It's pretty good."
Patton instantly felt proud: "Hey, I didn't buy it. Commander Qingchan insisted on giving me one in order to commend me."
Huo Yu almost couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot.
Qingchan? The commander in charge of the Polaris icebreaker?
He seems to be a very dignified person, but it turns out that he also belongs to Su Jian in private.
"It looks good, it's a spare tire, it means so much!" Huo Yu gave Barton a thumbs up and praised him without hesitation.
Others knew Huo Yu too well and were accustomed to his behavior. In order to cooperate with Huo Yu, they all cast envious glances at Barton.
Huang Yi had never seen anything like this before, so he had to cough to hide his smile.
In this way, as a few people chatted, time began to pass slowly.
Gradually, everyone spoke less and less, and their expressions became more and more solemn.
Although time has moved forward, no other icekeepers have come here, and it is obvious that these dozens of people are now the entire combat force of this operation.
Other ice keepers also began to discuss. They knew the danger of the operation and knew that it was impossible for them to complete the task alone.
When people's hearts become impetuous, their military morale begins to waver.
Half an hour later, Huo Yu looked at his watch and stood up with a gloomy expression.
The others hurriedly followed him, looking at him with worried faces, all silent.
"Okay, let's all disperse. The operation is cancelled." Huo Yu said this and walked directly to his snowmobile.
Everyone looked at Huo Yu in disbelief, and Barton asked directly: "Stationmaster Huo, what do you mean? Aren't we going to save people?"
Huo Yu had a sarcastic look on his face: "With just a few people, how can we save them?"
Su Peipei looked at the unfamiliar Huo Yu in front of her in shock, and blurted out: "What about the mission? What about the members of the 179 scientific research station who were attacked?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Huo Yu responded indifferently, "It's up to us to die."
"Rather than doing this, I would rather go back and accept punishment. If you want to die, you can do it yourself."
Huang Yi said coldly: "You want to be a deserter?"
Huo Yu glanced at him and replied casually: "I want to live."
After saying these words, he drove the snowmobile and left here, ignoring the blank stares of several people.
