Chapter 1285 1285. Mental Patient (45)

Vorkuta was established as a settlement in 1931. In 1932, it was a labor camp, where a large number of political and economic prisoners in the Red Empire were held.

During the Second World War, a large number of coal mines were discovered here. The war needed resources, so the Red Empire built a railway here to continuously transport the coal mine resources.

With the development of the coal mining industry, the city rose rapidly and was founded in 1943. Now the city mainly relies on coal, machinery repair, wood processing and building materials industries.

As usual, this is also a small city, judging from the population, it is less than 200,000 in total.

Li Du and his party came to Vorkuta for the first time, and the local mobile network signal was very poor. They contacted Steve intermittently, and Steve sent them the address, saying that a car would pick them up.

A group of people waited and waited for the person who came to pick them up. There was nothing they could do. Li Du saw that there was an airport policeman on duty, so he took someone there to ask for directions.

The airport policeman can’t speak English, only Russian, and this guy is a bit tsarist, as soon as he hears English, he asks: “American?”

Li Du said: "American, China."

The policeman suddenly turned cold, and muttered in Russian.

Big Ivan stepped forward to communicate with him in Russian, and at the same time explained to Li Du in English: "This guy said that we are spies from the United States, and they want to check our documents."

Li Du said: "Let him check it out, our documents are legal."

The police wanted to see their papers, and Big Ivan shook his head, took out some rubles and handed them to him.

After receiving the money, the police stuffed it into their bags carelessly, and beckoned them to go outside.

Li Du asked, "Where are we going?"

Big Ivan said: "He said he would find us a car and take us to the city."

It just so happened that when they left the airport, a minibus with a smiling logo on it approached. The policeman greeted the driver and opened the door to signal them to get on the bus.

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and got into the car. He felt that the minibus was not quite right. The seats inside had guard rails, like a car for piglets or prisoners.

But he didn't have a chance to ask questions. When they got into the car, the police closed the door from the outside, and the car suddenly started, driving them forward and speeding away.

Li Du went to the front and asked the driver, "Man, where are we going?"

The driver turned around and said a few words in Russian. Li Du didn't understand what he meant, but felt a smell of alcohol coming towards him. This guy was driving after drinking!

This frightened Li Du. The car drove so fast and the driver drank alcohol. Is this going to kill him?

Big Ivan was very relaxed, and said: "Boss, don't worry, drivers in this kind of place will come here before driving. The weather is too cold, and they have the habit of driving after drinking."

Li Du said: "They don't want to die?"

Big Ivan said with an indifferent expression on his face, "It's okay, everyone has been here for so many years, and nothing happened."

The advantage of a large city, small population, and sparsely populated land is that you can drive freely, even if you drive wobbly, basically there will be no accidents.

Li Du wiped off the cold sweat. He has seen the toughness of the fighting nation, pilots and drivers, every good stubble.

The driver occasionally took out a small iron pot to take a sip on the way, and Li Du believed that it must be vodka.

Fortunately, the car was indeed running all the way to the city center, and after a while they could already see the prototype of the city.

Of course, don’t expect to see high-rise buildings in this kind of place. There are only some low-rise buildings in the city. The only tall buildings belong to Vorkuta Coal Co., Ltd. and Northern Iron and Steel Group.

When driving into the city, the cars didn't stop. Li Du didn't see any taxis on the road, so he didn't bother to negotiate with the driver to let him stop and take a taxi by himself.

Finally, the car drove to the door of a big house with black bricks and red tiles. The driver poked his head and honked the horn. The door opened and the car drove in slowly.

Now Li Du was anxious and asked, "What's going on? Where are we going?"

Among them, Ivan the Big is familiar with Russian, but Ivan the Big fell asleep on the way, and after listening to Li Du's words, he woke up rubbing his eyes and said, "Don't worry, boss, everything will go well."

As he spoke, he also yawned.

The car stopped, and several men and women in white coats came out talking and laughing, opened the door and said something in Russian.

Big Ivan waved his hand and said, "Get out of the car."

Li Du got out of the car in a daze. After seeing him, the white coats frowned. When they saw the pets behind him, the white coats were also dazed.

A woman whose height was about the same as Brother Wolf and whose waist was about the same as Godzilla went to talk to the driver. Li Du couldn't understand what they were talking about and could only look at Big Ivan.

Big Ivan was also stunned. He listened to the conversation between the two, and then suddenly shouted: "Damn it, this is a mental hospital!"

If possible, Li Du really wanted to slap himself. Isn't this a dream? What exactly did they go through?

With a loud cry, Big Ivan hurried to negotiate with the mother Godzilla.

A white coat frowning came up to drive away Ah Ao and Ah Meow. Li Du hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Hello, can you speak English?"

"Yes." The white coat gave him a surprised look.

Li Du hurriedly said: "Are you a mental hospital? There must be a misunderstanding between us. We are not mental patients, we are tourists who come to this city!"

The white coat smiled and said: "I know, you are not mentally ill, you are all normal people, and so am I. This is the first stop of your tour. Oh, your English is good, are you a tour guide?"

My tour guide is next door to you, Spicy, and Li Du immediately exploded. The smile on the face of the white coat is used to deal with idiots. If he can't even see this, he is really an idiot!

So he said, "No, I mean seriously doc, we don't know how we got in here, damn it, we're Americans and Chinese, we just came here from the airport..."

"Yes, I know, you just came from the airport." A strong woman next to her smiled and said, "Come on, tourists, come with me, and I will take you to visit. But pets are not allowed in the attraction, whose pet is this? "

Li Du rubbed his face hard, he knew he was in trouble, they were treated as mentally ill!

Somehow, he thought of a joke survey he had seen on the Internet before. If you are sent to a mental hospital, how can you prove that you are not mentally ill.

At that time, he read the survey and thought it was too ridiculous, so he closed the webpage directly. Now he regrets it very much. He knew that he should read the expert introduction.

In short, he didn't want to be locked up here as mentally ill, so he quickly explained: "We are really not mentally ill, I am a rich man from the United States, and these are my bodyguards."
