Chapter 643 - 644: Idiot
Three days later, Song Xiaodong had reached the primordial forests in the northernmost region of China. It was already deep winter, with temperatures dropping below negative twenty degrees Celsius. Whenever he exhaled, his breath instantly froze into a white mist.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, difficult to tread on as each step sank into the whiteness.
A few years ago, while on a mission in this area, Xiaodong had stumbled upon an extraordinary place: a special hot spring. Though outside was icy cold, the water in that spring was scalding hot, containing many special substances with remarkable healing properties. Previously, he had been gravely injured and surprisingly, he had healed quickly after immersing himself in that spring. This time, he was determined to relocate that special hot spring and cure his injuries.
However, Xiaodong could only remember the general direction of the spring and locating it was challenging.
In such a vast primordial forest, especially during the winter, vehicles like cars were useless. Even the best off-road vehicles couldn’t navigate through the woods.
The best option, of course, would be a helicopter followed by a snowmobile, which would be much more convenient.
At the moment, Xiaodong was riding a snowmobile through the forest, hoping to find the hot spring in another two days based on his memory.
At night, while resting in his tent, he was awoken by the sound of footsteps amidst the wind. The steps were clearly not those of an animal, but of humans, and more than one at that.
Xiaodong frowned but wasn’t overly worried. There were hunters in these forests who were usually quite friendly.
After putting on his coat, Xiaodong stepped out of the tent. In the darkness, he saw four people approaching his tent.
