Chapter 387 Winter Limited

"Is this a hovercraft?" Lu Mingfei looked at the thing that looked like a car but not a car in front of him. It was about the same size as a car, but instead of four round wheels under the chassis, it had a black inflatable disc.

The hovercraft was parked on the frozen soil covered with white snow. Ange, wrapped in winter clothes, carried two barrels of oil and poured it into the fuel tank of the hovercraft. Chu Zihang, wrapped in a cotton coat, held a list in his hand and opened it. Enter the storage warehouse of the hovercraft and inventory the supplies.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help but wrap his cotton clothes tighter.

After all, it is October 18th. At this time, the average temperature in Northern Siberia is below -40°C. If a cup of hot water is poured from the thermos cup, it will freeze into ice within half a minute. Wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, your limbs will soon become stiff due to hypothermia.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the tight Eri clothes wrapped around him, helped her cover the scarf around her neck, and then hugged her shoulders. The two of them looked at the silver hovercraft together.

Next, he, Anger, Chu Zihang, and Eli Yi will take this hovercraft and advance through the endless permafrost of Northern Siberia, looking for the Nibelung that Lu Mingfei's parents are responsible for controlling.

As early as October 1, Lu Mingfei and Eliyi left Kassel and arrived in Moscow on the booked flight tickets.

From August 31st to September 30th, they spent a month in Kassel and lived in the Norton Hall.

A year ago, ownership of the Norton Pavilion belonged to Lu Mingfei, who won last year's Freedom Day.

But this ownership only ends on September 8 this year, because that day is the New Freedom Day. When the winner is decided, Lu Mingfei has to hand over the key to the Norton Hall.

This year, Lionheart won without any doubt.

The student union lost miserably. The main reason was that Caesar, the president of the student union, did not show up to take command. He seemed to be locked up at home and could not even come when school started. Caesar didn't go, and Nono couldn't be interested, so he simply abstained. .

In the end, the Student Union took the fight bravely, and the result was obvious. Without the C position in the team fight, the situation turned into a crushing game.

Within half an hour, the Lionheart Club captured the 145 people participating in the Student Union's Freedom Day with 4 dead and 15 injured. It was a blitzkrieg.

Angers said that the Gattuso family refused Caesar to come to Cassel because their family heir almost lost his life. They sent Caesar to Cassel to train and learn, not to die, so they Decided to raise their heirs themselves.

However, Angers received a protest call from Caesar. On the phone, Caesar scolded his father passionately and said that they were restricting personal freedom.

Angers said that he had no way to interfere in the family affairs of the Gattuso family. He was just a principal and could only control the students in the school. Before hanging up, Angers specifically mentioned that Caesar had not yet arrived at the advisor this semester. Stamped.

The implication is that if Caesar can find a way on his own and sneak to Kassel, then Angers will have a way to keep him.

As for whether Caesar can sneak out, it can only depend on his own ability.

He wasn't even present at the wedding of Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi. Caesar's father, Pompeii, didn't seem to be an easy man to fool.

Moreover, Italy is still the home ground of the Gattuso family. Even if Caesar sneaks out of the house, it will be extremely difficult to take a plane or ship to go abroad.

Back in Kassel, Lu Mingfei handed the keys to the Norton Hall to Chu Zihang on the second day of the Free Day. The Lion Heart Club held a party at the Norton Hall that night and also held a celebration ceremony for new members. .

Since Lu Mingfei has a good relationship with the president of the Lion Heart Club, he and Eriki still live in the Norton Hall.

This Victorian-style mansion built in the center of the college, in addition to the office area, also has many guest rooms for receiving foreign guests. Lu Mingfei and Eriyi lived in one of the guest rooms.

During the month in Kassel, Lu Mingfei took Hui Liyi to visit the college, the library, the teaching building, the garden, and the back mountain. They took photos everywhere in Kassel.

Of course, they were not all playing. Lu Mingfei was often called by the vice-principal to discuss some matters. Lu Mingfei couldn't quite understand what the vice-principal was saying. It seemed to be related to alchemy, so he accompanied him. Several experiments.

At the request of the principal, they also went on two missions to deal with the "A-level deadpool" nearby.

The execution department had found out Deadpool's hiding place for them, and Lu Mingfei only needed to pick up the knife and go there to chop him.

After they finished cutting, they stayed in a nearby hotel for two or three days, all as a trip at public expense.

Nothing special happened this month. Loki didn't show up, and Angers didn't find out who the mole on the school board was. Uesugi Yue was still following the few clues in Germany to find the man who received his sperm. of institutions.

It seemed like nothing was progressing and time just kept passing.

In October, the Siberian winter was finally approaching, and the time agreed between Lu Mingfei and Angers was approaching.

This visit was a secret operation, so Lu Mingfei and Eryi arrived in Moscow in advance.

On October 17, that is, yesterday, they received a call from a confidential account at the hotel front desk, asking them to go to the outskirts of Moscow at noon on the 18th.

So, Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi found Ange and Chu Zihang in winter clothes in a dead forest with no people, as well as the hovercraft covered by a rainproof cloth with a two-meter-thick cover. The snow looks like it has been sitting here for a while.

"Principal, how long will it take us to get there?" Lu Mingfei touched the smooth shell of the hovercraft. At this time, its air cushion was still deflated and not inflated, but the streamlined hull looked like a unique UFO. , very technological.

"It depends on the road conditions, it will take at least 3 days." Angers finished filling up a barrel of oil and started to pour another barrel of oil: "That place is a big rift valley, and we will only pass one supply station on the way, so before setting off, Be well prepared.”

"The fuel and food are all counted, principal." Chu Zihang closed the storage bin: "It's enough to support us to the next supply station."

"Where are the weapons?" Angers threw away the empty oil drum.

"There is a standard weapon box for the execution department, plus an ammunition box." Chu Zihang said.

"That's enough." Anng nodded: "After all, no one in our group likes to use guns, so let's get on the boat. Chu Zihang and I will take turns driving."

When Angers pulled down the ignition valve forcefully, the hovercraft immediately rumbled and neighed like a violent wild horse. Two powerful air propellers rotated at high speed, and the strong airflow blew away the snow within ten meters, forming two lines. The flying snow dragon.

As the blower operates, high-pressure airflow enters the air chamber of the transfer cavity, and the hull slowly rises and floats steadily on the air cushion.

Angers smiled and nodded, seemingly pleased with its power.

"Principal, have you ever driven a hovercraft before?" Lu Mingfei thought this experience was very novel. This was the first time he had seen this kind of vehicle.

Eriki, who was sitting in the back row with him, also stuck her head out of the window and watched the bulge of the air mattress.

"I've never driven one before, but all land vehicles are pretty much the same. They all have a steering wheel, plus brakes and accelerators. As long as you know how to drive, you can learn other things very quickly."

As he spoke, Ange took out a "Hovercraft User's Manual" from the drawer under the dial, flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Chu Zihang.

"You should take this time to learn. After all, among the four of us, you are the only one with a driver's license."

"Principal, don't you have a driver's license?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.

"When I learned to drive, there was no such thing as a driver's license. It was 1899...well, yes, 1899, and the car was a new toy that was only invented in 1885. It couldn't go as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, there was no Ford, there was no General Motors, etc. There are no traffic rules!”

Angers suddenly stepped on the accelerator valve, and the hovercraft rushed out of the withered woods like a bison with firecrackers tied to its tail.

Lu Mingfei didn't even have time to fasten his seat belt, so he could only hold on to the handrail.

The silver hull crossed the sloping hills, flying snow lingered around the air cushion, and the hull ejected upwards.

"Amazing!"

Eri's long dark red hair, which was held down by her winter hat, was flying, and her beautiful eyes were shining. She leaned her head out of the window, holding one hand on the hatch handle, and wearing a mitten on the other. The cotton-gloved hand waved vigorously.

This level of bumps did not affect her sense of balance. She only felt that the speed of soaring into the sky was very refreshing.

With the action of gravity, the hovercraft fell onto the snow, making a dent. It flew across the endless snowfield, leaving a long trail behind it.

"Principal! Do you want to read the instructions again!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

"No need! Before you came, I had already spent ten minutes fully understanding how the hovercraft operates!" Angers also shouted.

Although he said this, Lu Mingfei felt as if he was riding a roller coaster.

The hovercraft has such a big, soft cushion as a cushion, and it's still in the snow, so shouldn't it be very stable to sit on? Why is it like a roller coaster?

He always felt that there was something wrong with the principal's sailing skills, so he quickly pulled Eriko back into the cabin and helped her fasten her seat belt.

Eriki looked at him aggrievedly and locked the window, as if she hadn't had enough fun yet.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and decided not to open the window.

He didn't dare to let Eriki do such dangerous actions while the principal, a racing madman, was driving. What if he lost his grip and was thrown out.

Eriki pouted her lips, seeming a little unhappy.

Lu Mingfei held her hand and coaxed her again and again, and kissed her on the cheek before she smiled.

Angers saw this scene through the rearview mirror and said with emotion: "It's good to be young."

"Principal, please stop laughing at me." Lu Mingfei said.

"I envy you, Mingfei, can't you hear it?"

Angers turned on the music player, and the soothing rhythm of jazz was playing in the cabin. It felt a bit like a grandfather taking his grandchildren on a trip. Of course, if the speed of the boat was not like being in an F4 racing scene, it would be more like it.

"This reminds me of my youth. When I first entered Cambridge, I was still a young boy. All I could think about was how to attract the attention of beautiful girls. Meineke was my senior brother. My senior brother and I often spent time together at night. While drinking, I asked him for advice on how to be as popular with girls as he is.”

"Principal, you must have been handsome when you were young. How could no girl like you?" Lu Mingfei gradually adapted to the speed of the car, sat upright, and looked at the front row through the gap in the seat.

Chu Zihang carefully read the "Hovercraft Operation Manual" from the co-pilot's seat, as if nothing outside could interfere with him.

As for Ange, he had silver hair and wrinkles all over his face. From this angle, Lu Mingfei could feel that the man in front of him had really lived for more than a century.

In the past, when he stood on the stage and spoke, he always held his head high and his chest high, making people mistakenly think that he was still in his prime, the age when he was most capable of fighting.

But in fact, he was already 131 years old. Almost all the dragon slayers of his generation died, but he stayed and became a legend.

"I was a wild child from the countryside at that time." Angers recalled the time a hundred years ago: "At that time, girls who could study in Cambridge were either young ladies from famous families or daughters of rich families, and I, my pants My clothes are patched, my leather shoes are from street vendors, and I don’t even have a decent hat. How can any pretty girl like me?”

"There are times when the principal is so bad."

"At that time, I didn't think I was weak. I just felt that those girls were blind. Sooner or later, I would make them cry and beg me to let me be with them."

"Did you do it later? Did you make them cry and beg you to be with them?"

"Of course, Meineke took me to the most famous tailor shop in Cambridgeshire to have a custom-made dress. He also personally helped me style my hair and apply hairspray. I also secretly used his perfume. The two of us went to the party together, During the social dance session, every girl I invited did not dare to look at me and only dared to look at me secretly. I knew what they were thinking. They were afraid that if they met my eyes, their hearts would be stolen."

"That sounds so stinky."

"If you want to be a playboy, you have to pretend to be a stinker." Ange smiled.

"I really feel sad for the girl who caused trouble to the principal when he was young." Lu Mingfei also joked.

"I often think of them. When I went to the UK on a business trip last year, I didn't forget to send them flowers."

"Sending flowers means"

"I go to send flowers to their cemeteries. I often go back to Cambridge and walk alone on campus, watching the students coming and going wearing T-shirts and sneakers. Unfortunately, today's Cambridge students no longer discuss poetry and religion. and art, and just focused on how to find a job in the City of London.

The things I miss, the girls I admire wearing beautiful white silk dresses and Oxford-style white-soled high heels, the plum trees under which we once discussed Shelley’s poems have all become history, and sometimes I I feel like a lonely soul wandering the world for hundreds of years. Can you understand that feeling? Everything you were familiar with no longer exists, and you stand where you once stood, but out of place. "

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that Ange's back was unusually lonely. He drove the hovercraft furiously and stepped on the accelerator valve, as if he was chasing those long-gone phantoms floating in the light.

This man has nothing left. The meaning of his life seems to be these misty phantoms.

Are these non-existent things keeping him alive?

Lu Mingfei didn't ask, but he probably understood why the principal was such a determined dragon slayer.

If someone destroys everything for him, he will stop at nothing to get revenge.

Thanks to "draw the sword to save Luo Yingsa" for the reward of 1500 coins, and "fangshuji" and "Miss Cai Yin's little fanboy" for the reward of 100 coins
