Chapter 47 Target Russia
Sorting out what you need from a large amount of information has never been an easy task, but now that he has mastered the card [Logic Enhancement (R)], Liang En feels that he can give it a try.
Maybe with the bonus of a golden finger, he could analyze something meaningful from the data that others had nothing to gain.
As a backup, of course. Liang En also asked the housekeeper to choose a representative piece of Master Dulis's relics and give it to him.
At first, the housekeeper didn't understand Liang En's approach. However, after Liang En said that this was a small superstition that he prayed for luck to be on his side, the housekeeper quickly agreed to his request.
After all, the reason why the Earl family entrusted this task to Liang En was because, in addition to confirming that he was an upright person from the previous treasures, the most important reason was because he had luck that ordinary people could not match.
Therefore, when something related to luck is involved, the Earl family's attitude towards this matter is naturally that they would rather believe it than not.
Therefore, two hours later, the other party sent a person to deliver a broken camera that the young master Du Lisi left behind before setting off.
"This camera is one of the two cameras that Master Dulis used before setting off." The bodyguard who went to receive the wealth with the butler last time said to Liang En across the coffee table.
"At that time, he planned to bring two cameras at the same time and use one of them as a backup camera, but he didn't expect that there was something wrong with the shutter of this camera, so he left it at home."
"Thank you. If I have this thing, I will be more confident." Liang En accepted the old camera and assured the bodyguard. "I would like to ask, when do you plan to leave?"
After watching Liang En put away the old camera, the bodyguard of the Earl family asked on behalf of the Earl family.
"I will leave as soon as possible." After hearing this question, Liang En answered immediately. "Because it's already November, and if it's any later, the Russian winter will make it difficult for us to move forward."
"Do you think we can really find the missing war correspondent with just two people?" Five days later, Pierce, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a Ladaniva heading north from St. Petersburg, drove to Zheng Zheng. Liang En asked.
"Not sure yet." Liang En said, shaking his head gently. "But I found some interesting things in those materials before, so I have to go and check it out on site."
[Logic Enhancement (R)] This card does have extraordinary power. With this card, Liang En can quickly analyze a large amount of data and summarize the effective parts.
So in the past few days of preparation, Liang En quickly found a series of things he wanted from the information that had been accumulated for decades.
Of course, in the process of sorting out these documents, Liang En also realized what these documents did not summarize. Therefore, we came to the Russian exploration site after completing the systematic arrangement of those documents.
More than half an hour after leaving the city, they drove off the road and drove towards the forest along a war-prepared road that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.
"How come there is such a road in the woods?" Pierce, who thought there was wilderness below, looked at the cracked asphalt road with curiosity on his face.
"This was probably built during the Cold War." Liang En said as he glanced at the rotten road sign on the roadside, leaving only a rusty iron rod. "Don't forget that this is the flank of St. Petersburg. From there, more than a hundred kilometers to the north is the Soviet-Finnish border, so there are naturally many military facilities."
"Just park the car here." After driving along the military road in the jungle for a minute or two, the two people parked the car in a forest clearing. Then he took out a metal detector, a shovel and a shotgun from the trunk.
Although the bears have basically stopped moving in November, some self-defense weapons are still indispensable in order to prevent any bear from eating too much and coming out for a walk.
"Do you think there will be bombs or landmines in this place?" Looking at the surrounding situation, Pierce's face showed a nervous look.
Before coming to Russia, he checked a lot of information on the Internet, many of which reminded Russia that there were a lot of dangerous explosives left on battlefields related to World War II, and that this forest was the front line of the war.
"Don't worry. Although this place belongs to a war zone, it is not the front line of fighting between the two sides, so there are basically not many explosive materials." Liang En, who was walking in front, said.
"More importantly, this place used to be a field assembly area belonging to the military during the Cold War, so if there were any dangerous explosives, they would have been cleared away by those people long ago."
"Then what are we doing here now?" Pierce asked in confusion. "Since this place has been under construction before, I guess something should have been taken away."
"Don't worry, we are not here to dig out anything from here this time, but to recover the possible escape route of the missing war reporter." Liang En said as he walked forward.
"Because of the information I found before, I can confirm that the reporter was not dead or even injured after the shelling. So I came here mainly to restore the direction in which the other party might have escaped."
"It should be right here -" After leaving the car and walking through the forest for three to four hundred meters, the two people stopped in a depression.
The area of this depression is not large, and at most it can only accommodate half a basketball court. The dead yellow leaves that had accumulated over the years had almost completely filled the not-so-deep depression.
If Liang En hadn't obtained the detailed map and photos taken by previous treasure hunters from the earl's butler, he might have skipped this terrain that can be seen everywhere in the forest.
"You mean, that was where the Finnish army squad was bombarded?" Watching Liang En use a hiking stick he was carrying to detect the size of the depression, Pierce took off the shotgun and held it in his hand, staring at it warily. Around, asked at the same time.
"Yes, according to the file records obtained by the Count from Russia. It was an elite unit that was attacked at that time, so after being attacked by the Finnish army, it directly used the BA-10 45mm artillery to fight back."
After determining the pit and the general terrain around it, Liang En talked about some of the things he had analyzed from the previous information.
"Because of the use of this small-caliber direct-fire artillery, except for one person who died on the spot, the other Finns hiding in this pit and our war reporter all survived."
"After realizing that they had been discovered, the team immediately withdrew from here and returned in the direction of its own position. However, the Soviet troops parked on the road over there kept firing at them with artillery and fire——"
"If you are shot with a weapon in the dark, it is indeed easier to escape in a place like this." Hearing what Liang En said, Pierce looked at the dense woods around him with a clear look, and then frowned. .
"But the problem is, this forest is so big, how do we determine which direction the other party ran?"
