Chapter 1248 1248. Flash Paradise (25)

Irkutsk, the oldest city in southern Siberia, has always been known as the "Heart of Siberia".

Driving in this city, you can see many Soviet-style things. There are monuments to heroes everywhere in the square, and there are many statues of famous generals on the streets, such as the statue of Admiral Golchak.

This city has a history full of songs and tears, and it is a place where brave and warlike heroes emerge in large numbers. For the victory of the Second World War, Irkutsk made great sacrifices and suffered heavy losses. Almost all men over the age of 40 participated in the war and died!

When the car passed the central square of the city hall, Steve saw the monument to the martyrs who died in World War II standing in the center of the square. Steve asked Hankway to stop and bought a bunch of flowers to put in front of the martyrs' tomb.

They first found a hotel to stay in, not far from the residential area of ​​Hankway and others.

The meteorite hunters belong to the rich in the local area, and they live in spacious and warm apartments, basically duplex buildings with upper and lower floors.

In Siberia, apartments are more popular than villas, because it is convenient to gather heat. The weather here is too cold, and the temperature in Irkutsk in January is often below minus 15 degrees.

Although they didn't come here to play, everyone had to relax. Under the leadership of the meteorite hunters, they took a stroll in the city in the afternoon.

Kirov Square, Lenin Square, Karl Marx Square, Decembrist Street, 130 Commercial Pedestrian Street, Li Du and Sophie visited all these main attractions.

As the core city of Siberia, Irkutsk is quite prosperous, and people from Eurasia will come to travel, so the tourism industry is quite developed.

Li Du didn't have lunch. He chose to go shopping with Sophie while buying local specialties.

A favorite of the two is Kolomna, an old Russian sweet made with sour apples, honey and molasses.

This is a kind of canned food. You can choose to heat it when the weather is cold, so that you can warm your hands and taste delicious food when you hold it in your hand. It is a perfect choice for shopping.

Ah Meng's sense of smell for honey is extremely keen. As soon as the can was opened, it rubbed against Li Du's pants and climbed up.

Because the local weather was cold, Li Du wore thick and strong clothes that could withstand Ah Meng's weight. The guy crawled on top of him, poked his head at the can, and kept licking his tongue.

Li Du ate half of the can and stuffed it with the rest of the soft fruit cake.

As a result, the little bastards didn't even take two bites. They came across a small pot that was being boiled. Inside was viscous honey, and the fragrance diffused out with the heat.

Ah Meng immediately threw the jar back and hit Ah Ao on his body, the soft fruit cake spilled out and hung on his hair, Ah Ao was very angry, and went over to bite Ah Meng.

Normally, this bite would cause trouble, and Ah Meng would definitely chase it for at least a day.

But now that there is pure Altai honey, Ah Meng’s attention has long been attracted away, so he doesn’t care what Ah Ao is doing. He stares at the pot of honey, stands up like a human, pokes his head vigorously, shakes his nose, and says “ Hum Chi Hum Chi' sound.

This is the famous Altai honey, also known as buckwheat honey. Next to the Altai Mountains is the largest buckwheat production base in Russia, and buckwheat is the favorite of bees. This kind of honey has emerged through the combination of strong forces.

The color of Altai honey is pure deep amber, and it is very clear. It slowly rolls in it, bringing out an increasingly dense sweet smell.

Sophie went to buy two bottles, and Ah Meng stretched out his claws to grab them.

The honey was very hot, so Sophie tried to persuade her, but Ah Meng didn't care at all, and continued to work hard to grab the honey.

Now Sophie was angry, she slapped it on the head and squatted on the ground, put away the honey and said angrily: "Be honest, why are you so uneducated? If you continue like this, there will be no honey to eat."

Aggrieved, Ah Meng squatted on the ground and looked at Li Du. Li Du pretended not to see it, and continued shopping with his hands behind his back.

There are no hamburgers and sandwiches that are common in the West. Instead, there is something called a samosa, a pasta dish common in Bashkortostan and Tatarstan, but which reached Irkutsk very early.

The triangular stuffed bun is small in size, with potatoes, mutton and scallions in it. The portion is very large, with butter added, the aroma is slightly sweet, and the taste is delicious.

These things are of no use to Godzilla and the ruthless people like Da Ao. They bought Da Lieba bread, fried pork chops, and spread caviar on them, and it was very enjoyable to eat.

In the evening, Woody, Hankway and others found a bar where ivory hunters often appeared, and then took everyone to find the harvest.

There are two kinds of ivory hunters, one is the locals who go on adventures, and the other is the outlaws who can't get along in the city.

Siberia is large and has a bad climate, so it has become the first choice for many criminals to avoid crimes. The local law and order is very poor, and people are not afraid of crimes. As long as they commit crimes and then run into the plateau in north-central Siberia, the police cannot arrest them.

However, to survive in this kind of place is to find guilt, and the police believe that living in the cold plateau is more punitive than sending them to jail.

In fact, Irkutsk, the oldest city in Siberia, has played the role of "political prisoner exile" in different historical periods.

The name of the bar is 'Flashing Paradise'. Before entering, Hankway told everyone: "There are some ruthless characters here. They really dare to risk their lives, so let's try not to provoke them."

Seeing the solemn faces of Li Du and others, he added: "Of course, even if there is a conflict, there is no need to be afraid. We meteorite hunters are the tough guys, and there is no pressure to fight them."

Whether meteorite hunters or ivory hunters, they are all desperadoes.

Both industries require practitioners to spend long periods of time in the deserted wilderness, where there are no cameras, no monitors, and no one knows what is going on.

Because mammoth ivory and meteorites are both valuable, people can kill for an ivory or a meteorite.

Fortunately, the meteorites they find are usually small and can be hidden. The mammoth ivory is too big to hide. If the person who gets it is weak, it is really a crime. It is the best end to be robbed, and it is more likely to be killed.

There are many glacial swamps in the wasteland. If you kill someone, tie a stone and throw it in, you can't find it at all.

Pushing open the door of the bar, a gust of hot air came oncoming along with the smell of alcohol.

Crazy rock music reverberated in the room, and the dazzling lights changed colors, shaking people in a trance.

On the central stage, several scantily clad dancers were struggling to twist their limbs or shake their hair, and some burly men shouted around the stage with wine bottles, full of primitive atmosphere.
