Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, almost breaking them. Anger from nowhere made him look around, and the heart in his chest was pumping blood crazily with violent force.

"I know you're here to seek revenge, but I'm sorry I can't confess to you, because if I do that, the area within five kilometers around me and my house will be razed to the ground. Don't doubt that adult's determination to protect the secret."

The title of Zero had only appeared in Lu Mingfei's hallucination. Apart from the little devil, Xia Mi and senior sister, no one else should know about it.

Admiral Vatutin is the person in charge of the Delta Project. Does this mean that Lu Mingfei is actually deeply connected with that experimental project?

He continued reading. The following text should have been some huge secret, but all that appeared in front of Lu Mingfei were clumsy Chinese characters.

"I don't have any more secrets to share with you, I just want to say one thing to you, my dear Zero... The most important thing in the world that you cannot let down, besides the country, is the woman who has always been with you."

After thinking about it, Lu Mingfei still couldn't figure out who General Vatutin was talking about. Could it be Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Although they have expressed their true feelings to each other, Lu Mingfei and Ling have not made much substantial progress so far.

Besides, they hadn't actually known each other for very long.

Only two years.

Chapter 561: The Princess's True Age

Besides the sound of wind and snow, the only sound in his ears was the sound of Eri and Su Xiaoqiang playing games next door. Lu Mingfei stared at the card left for him by General Vatutin for a while and actually felt very sleepy, so he lay back on the bed. However, every time he closed his eyes, a long corridor with blazing flames appeared in front of him.

He also tried calling Lu Mingze, but the little devil seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and it was difficult for him to appear in front of Lu Mingfei for a long time.

He was not really sleepy and didn't know what to do. After being in a daze for a while, Lu Mingfei turned over and looked out the window.

Dark clouds hung high in the sky, and the biting cold wind blew heavy snow, covering Moscow.

He stood up, stuffed himself into his winter clothes, put on his bearskin hat, took out Lust from the box of the seven deadly sins, hesitated for a moment and pushed Lust back. Taking only Ama Murakami, Lu Mingfei lightly climbed out of the window and walked out of the Elizabeth Palace along the snow-covered gravel path in the flower garden.

The falling snowflakes melted immediately when they touched Lu Mingfei's body, and then the melted snow water evaporated into white steam. He walked in the water as if he was walking in the fog.

Lu Mingfei hadn't had any intimate communication with anyone in the past few days, otherwise Ling or Su Xiaoqiang would quickly realize that his body temperature was a little abnormal.

Obviously, starting from Tokyo Bay, fighting Izanagi the Yamata no Orochi, Herzog the White King, to breaking into the Nibelungen in Hefei to confront Odin, and recently resisting Gungnir, the Holy Lance of Fate, on the rooftop of the Regent Hotel, the frequent dragonizations have pushed Lu Mingfei's bloodline to the brink of the abyss.

He couldn't guarantee how long he could maintain his sanity. Even the little devil no longer responded to his calls. He didn't know whether it was because of weakness that caused it to fall into a state similar to sleep or because it was unwilling to do business without any cost.

In any case, this journey will be Lu Mingfei's last attempt.

The icy road and frozen leaves made soft sounds under his feet as Lu Mingfei walked in one direction along the flickering street lights.

Not far from here is Moscow State University. In 05, the Lenin Library was completed in that school. Lu Mingfei's destination was the Lenin Library.

Lu Mingfei thought about it, pulled down the brim of his bear-skin hat, put on a mask, and then walked into the Lenin Library, where almost no one was around, and found a corner to sit down.

In Lu Mingfei's memory, after the Tokyo incident, the academy and the Eight Snake Families joined forces to encircle and wipe out all the forces Herzog left in Tokyo and found his database and laboratory.

In fact, he has always known that the nameless ice-free port hidden in Siberia is actually the Black Swan Port, but he is unwilling to say the name out loud, as if the real name of the port is cursed, and as soon as it is spoken out, a great disaster will befall him immediately.

No matter in which time and space, there is no archive recording the detailed coordinates of Black Swan Port. We only know that it is not far from Verkhoyansk, and the Su-27 stationed at the Verkhoyansk Air Force Base can arrive quickly.

The only clue is that there is a natural dock near the Black Swan Port. In the summer, the ice melts and the supply fleet can sail smoothly. The Lenin, which sank in the Sea of ​​Japan and eventually fell into the abyss, was ordered by Herzog to head towards the Japanese archipelago after completing a supply at the Black Swan Port.

General Vatutin handed Lu Mingfei a set of coordinates, and these coordinates represented the location of the bloody experimental project in the Delta Plan. Perhaps this place was Black Swan Port.

But the strange thing is that in another time and space, the academy had explored almost all the coordinates and surface features near Verkhoyansk through all means except field surveys through the materials left by Herzog. This work lasted for a whole year, and they did not find any remains of large buildings that had been bombed.

The investigation team believes that Black Swan Port does not exist, and the so-called large-scale experimental base used to conduct research on hybrids during the Soviet era is actually Herzog's imagination.

In fact, Lu Mingfei also agreed with this statement. In this era when synchronous orbit satellites almost occupy the entire sky, even ordinary people can use satellite maps to find those uninhabited islands hidden even in the central part of the Pacific Ocean. If there really is a building site near Verkhoyansk that was once burned by a fire and destroyed by a bomb, it should be easy to find.

This time, Lu Mingfei insisted on going to Siberia only because he was guided by the little devil. At the same time, in the destruction of Black Swan Port described by Herzog, the burning corridor and the children in pajamas were almost completely consistent with the things that had appeared in Lu Mingfei's fantasy.

He wanted to find the truth.

However, the card and the coordinates left to him by General Vatutin made things confusing again. Why was the title Zero said by an old Russian man who he seemed to have never met? What did the words he left for Lu Mingfei, "Don't let down the woman who has always been by your side," mean?

The person General Vatutin was talking about couldn't be Eri or Su Xiaoqiang. As for Jiang Wanzhi, they were just casual acquaintances and had no connection at all. So it could only be Her Royal Highness the Princess.

On the surface, it seemed to be just a piece of advice from an old man, but is it possible that the illusion that Lu Mingfei saw was actually a reflection of the real world, and everything had really happened?

He wanders around Black Swan Harbor like a ghost as Zero, and Zero is the surviving experimental subject in that port...

So when he saw Lu Mingfei, General Vatutin did not show any restraint when meeting a stranger, even though Lu Mingfei was just a young man. As the builder of Black Swan Port and the initiator of the Delta Project, General Vatutin had seen Lu Mingfei a long time ago, and it might even be that he was the one who sent Lu Mingfei to Black Swan Port at that time.

So he would say don't let down the girl who has always been by your side, because in fact, Ling is indeed the girl who has been with Lu Mingfei from the very beginning. Just like what the princess herself said, she will never abandon Lu Mingfei until the end of her death.

But bigger problems and weirdness followed one after another. Lu Mingfei curled up in the corner of the library. In fact, there was a wall behind him, but he still felt as if there were invisible eyes staring at his back.

The biggest problem is that Lu Mingfei's date of birth is July 1991, 7. The birth certificates left to him by his uncle, aunt or step-parents can all serve as evidence of this fact. Even now, the academy's lowest database still contains the video footage of Qiao Weini giving birth to Lu Mingfei alone in the isolation cabin. Ling's birthday is December 17. Although she has never mentioned her specific age, with Lu Mingfei's current experience, he can at least ensure that Her Royal Highness the Princess is not older than him.

According to the information left by Herzog, the mysterious port was ordered to be destroyed on December 1991, 12, two days before the Soviet flag was finally lowered from the walls of the Kremlin.

Even if Zero had indeed been studied by a mysterious organization in Moscow when he was young, it could not have been Black Swan Port.

and many more……

Lu Mingfei's pupils contracted.

Just a few hours ago, Zero had driven a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom and temporarily stopped on the streets of Moscow. The sign on the ruins across the street read "Library of the Soviet State Academy of Sciences" instead of "Library of the Russian State Academy of Sciences", which meant that when the building was burned down, at least the red flag had not been lowered from the sky over Red Square.

But Ling said something to Lu Mingfei.

She said "I used to live there, with my mom and dad".

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt creepy. If Ling had really lived in that Soviet-era building and even retained some memories of living there, it meant that she should have been at least three to five years old before the library burned down.

The library was so quiet that it seemed as if everything was dead. The sound of wind and snow whistled back and forth. The creepy feeling had gradually evolved into a biting chill that pierced into the body from the coccyx. Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples hard to force himself to calm down.

He found a map of the entire Siberia from the library and searched carefully on the map according to the coordinates given by General Vatutin.

Sure enough, it was north of Verkhoyansk, due north, all the way to the border between Siberia and the Arctic Ocean.

There was no road on land shown on the map, and the surrounding area was barren permafrost. In such a high latitude, you could even see ribbons in the sky like the hem of a goddess' skirt at certain times of the year.

Lu Mingfei from another time and space was once very concerned about the progress of all investigations related to Herzog, and naturally learned about the academy's excavation of Black Swan Harbor.

That area has always been the focus of the college because it is close to the coast, surrounded by open space, and can be regarded as a natural dock from a geographical point of view.

However, satellite images show that this coordinate is just a wasteland. In the summer, when the ice sea thaws, sparse mosses and lichens can be seen. In the deep winter, it is completely covered by snow, and all signs of life will be temporarily terminated.

General Vatutin was the promoter of the Delta Project. He also knew Herzog and made it clear that Herzog was the person in charge of this experimental project.

This means that the coordinates he gave are most likely the location of Black Swan Port.

Is it possible that some mysterious power erased the traces of the ruins of the port on the satellite map? This kind of power is not uncommon to the academy. At least Norma can easily make a landmark building disappear from the map through superb technology.

Lu Mingfei knew that there was no way to get the answers to all this through imagination, and he could only witness it with his own eyes.

He carefully put away the map, but was stunned the moment he put on the bearskin hat.

Even though he realized that Zero might have deceived him, Lu Mingfei found that he still chose not to have any malicious assumptions about Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It was as if there was a voice in his subconscious telling him that Zero was trustworthy.

-----------------

Considering that almost all the distinguished guests were Chinese, the royal chef of Elizabeth Palace specially prepared a Chinese dinner for Lu Mingfei and his friends in the evening.

It is not difficult to see that the salary of a chef must be quite high. Lu Mingfei tried the sweet and sour pork ribs and found that the taste was not inferior to that of a five-star hotel in his hometown.

The flames crackled in the fireplace, and the heating system was on full blast, making the room warm enough for them to take off their coats and wear only a single layer of clothing.

After all the dishes were served, the waiters were dismissed. Lu Mingfei drank a glass of iced vodka, shivered all over, and after a moment he slowly exhaled into the air.

Unexpectedly, Eri and Su Xiaoqiang actually get along very well, probably because the little monster's personality is so good, and it is very easy for the women around him to have some strange sense of overflowing maternal love.

Ling sat opposite Lu Mingfei, sipping wine in small sips. The two hadn't spoken a word since they sat down at the table. Su Xiaoqiang and Jiang Wanzhi both keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, while Hui Liyi heartlessly tried to move closer to Lu Mingfei.

When Lu Mingfei drank his third glass of vodka, Jiang Wanzhi finally broke the silence at the table.

"I went to Xirang's office in Moscow this afternoon and have contacted the head of Bai's Far East Development Group." Jiang Wanzhi looked at Lu Mingfei, and her slender phoenix eyes looked at the boy who claimed to have killed the Dragon King with some scrutiny. "Lord Wa has already informed them of what to do next, and the person in charge promised me that he will help you with all your operations in southern Siberia."

Given the increasingly severe climate conditions and geographical location as one moves north, even the Bai family, a prominent family in the world of mixed-races, can only advance the development of forestry and mining to the southern region of Siberia. Further north is endless permafrost, and the obstacles to both mining and logging are huge.

Lu Mingfei nodded to show his understanding.

"Can they help if attacked?" he asked.

"Don't underestimate Xirang's armed forces in Asia." Jiang Wanzhi said with a smile, "Although many areas in Siberia are still within the territory of Russia, they have actually changed hands."

Lu Mingfei was stern, then secretly glanced at the princess sitting opposite him.

Judging from his bloodline, he is the descendant of Peter the Great and Catherine. If you really count back, the entire Far East and both sides of the Rhine are his property.

Big sister, you are so blatant to say that you have changed the owner of Siberia...

But Ling's expression didn't change much.

Actually, if you think about it, after the October Revolution, the Tsar had become history, and all the orthodox descendants were killed. What else can she, a side branch, say?

"We have people stationed inside some military restricted areas in the Far East. Alexander Bunin is a businessman after all. He can betray his employer and country, and he can also betray you. Maybe those forces can help you when necessary." Jiang Wanzhi said softly.

Chapter 562 Her Royal Highness

After dinner, Lu Mingfei wanted to propose an activity at Elizabeth Palace to enhance the relationship among team members, but Ling and Xiao Tian were not very enthusiastic, and Jiang Wanzhi was a calm person, not to mention afraid of socializing, and she was also reluctant to do so. In the end, nothing happened, and Eri's disappointment was almost written on her face.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, the owner of this palace, was the first to leave.

The borscht and beef stew in front of her were hardly touched, but she drank a lot of the bottle of grape gin. A blush appeared on her usually cold cheeks, like red in jade.

Ling paused for a moment when passing by Lu Mingfei, but in the end she said nothing and passed by the man who was still working on the Yangzhou fried rice in front of him with his eyes downcast.

But at the moment when Her Royal Highness the Princess left the table, Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head. He looked back silently, his nostrils twitching slightly, as if he smelled something familiar from Ling.

Ling knew that Lu Mingfei was going to Siberia alone and leaving them in Moscow, but Su Xiaoqiang and Eri were completely kept in the dark.

The flame in the fireplace flickered, the candlelight flickered, and Moscow under the night sky was like a black forest lit up, with star-like lights extending from one edge of the city to the other.

After dinner, Jiang Wanzhi roasted an apple by the fire in the fireplace. A moment later, she received a call, said hello to the guard at the door of Elizabeth Palace, and went out. Only Lu Mingfei, the little angel Eri, and three others were left in the restaurant.

"I have something to tell you." Lu Mingfei finally finished the last bite of Yangzhou fried rice, put down his chopsticks, crossed his fingers, and looked into Su Xiaoqiang's eyes across the candlelight and the table full of delicacies.

The little goddess was stunned for a moment, her slender eyebrows slightly raised: "What's the matter?"

"You and Eri will have to stay here temporarily, maybe for a month, maybe two months, anyway it won't be long, and Ling and the service team here will take care of you." Lu Mingfei said seriously.

"The journey to Verkhoyansk in Siberia will not be smooth sailing. If you travel with me, you will become a burden. I have received the most professional training at Kassel Academy. Even if I face danger, I can quickly escape. It will be much easier to travel alone. When I return from Siberia, we will go to Iceland or Greenland together, and then take a cruise to the Arctic, where I will need your strength."

"I want to be with you." Eiry hugged Lu Mingfei's arm, and the girl's delicate body was completely pressed against Lu Mingfei's body.

"Eri, be obedient."
