Chapter 1442: Chapter 694: This Works Too?

The siren sounded, and all the team members immediately dropped what they were doing and dispersed to their positions, while Sean Knight and Viola were quickly protected by four team members surrounding them, with their rifles unslung, bullets chambered, and muzzles aimed in a suspicious direction.

Elijah Hastings, with two team members, briskly walked towards the entrance. The two sentries originally at the cantonment entrance had already fallen back, now guarding the entrance.

A patrol of uniformed team members carrying rifles then appeared before everyone.

Victor and Bobov did not show themselves, but they were waiting by the police car at that moment.

In the eyes of Bobov and Victor, although Sean Knight and his companions were armed, these Chinese people would probably not dare to make a move in front of the patrol members.

After all, this was Russia, and these Chinese were facing a people whom the Chinese refer to as a "Combat Nation!"

Bobov and Victor had seen Chinese people before, and among those who came to excavate mammoth ivory, there were teams from China.

Whenever these teams encountered others, they usually chose to avoid conflict and did not stir up trouble. Before forming a temporary team with Yenia, Bobov and Victor had engaged in other activities in the Siberian jungle.

At that time, they had even bullied those Chinese people they encountered.

So, after originally being held at gunpoint by Sam Baker, these two were particularly indignant and thought about getting the patrol team involved for revenge.

Now, they were waiting for the good news—Team Leader Alyosha had said, if the information they provided was accurate, they would receive a bonus—a piece of mammoth ivory at least!

This was easy money!

Alyosha was quite surprised when he saw the state of the Chinese people in this camp.

The rifle he was carrying was an AK74, a notable successor to the famous AK47, which had long served in the Russian army.

Under this rifle’s muzzle, not only Siberian Brown Bears, elks, and Plains wolves had died but also numerous desperadoes searching for treasure on the Northern Beach.

Here, killing a person was really no big deal.

So when Bobov and Victor reminded Alyosha to bring more people and weapons, noting that the other side had weapons too, Alyosha only scoffed.

In this Northern Ice Field, it was too common for people to carry firearms.

But those carrying firearms and daring to fire directly at a dozen patrol members were few.

Most of those people carried pistols or hunting rifles, and rifles were rare and their combat experience was not rich. When facing the patrol team, they would likely shoot once and then run.

To turn their backs on veterans like Alyosha and others was indeed an extremely foolish act.

Upon learning that he was now facing a wealthy group from China, Alyosha thought his chance for a big fortune had come!

Although the Chinese claimed to be a developing country, they were adept at saving money, and Alyosha had captured many Chinese illegally digging for mammoth ivory on the Northern Beach, often obtaining more wealth from them than from others.

This time, Alyosha felt his haul would be significant!

Therefore, Alyosha took the lead, wearing a bulletproof vest, holding his rifle, and leading his team into the camp. At the slightest sign of resistance or attempted escape from the others, he would immediately unleash a barrage of bullets to serve as a dire warning.

However, when he saw that the other side was armed and showed no intention of fleeing at his team’s arrival, Alyosha was a bit surprised.

Nevertheless, he had a wealth of experience, and he immediately adopted a strictly official demeanor, gun in hand, and strode confidently toward the entrance.

With each step he took, Alyosha grew increasingly nervous—this camp’s arrangement was too militarized, clearly indicating that the opponents were tough!

"We are the Northern Patrol Team of Russia, and I am the team leader, Alyosha. We suspect you of illegal excavation of mammoth ivory. Please present your documentation! If you do not possess valid documents, please lay down your firearms and come with us!"

Upon reaching the entrance, Alyosha stopped, and his team members shouted out loudly.

This was all procedural.

Elijah Hastings stepped out of the entrance and faced Alyosha.

He did not carry a gun. However, the two team members behind him had their muzzles slightly pointed downward, their fingers unintentionally resting on the triggers, ready to unleash a barrage of bullets at any sign of trouble.

The rest of the people in the camp remained on high alert, with Sean Knight and Viola entering a tent, not adding to the chaos.

Yenia had also crawled into her own tent. She had already guessed that the arrival of this patrol team definitely had something to do with Bobov and Victor’s actions yesterday.

"We are here for legal excavation; here are our obtained documents," Elijah presented a piece of paper.

Alyosha was somewhat surprised; he tilted his head while a team member took the paper and showed it to him.

Alyosha was truly surprised—Russia’s Siberian region had not issued legal excavation permits for a long time.

By looking at these people’s equipment and actions, they were definitely military-backed individuals.

This made the guess at the wealthy individual’s identity a bit harder.

Alyosha was just a team leader, and he immediately felt this was beyond his capacity to interfere.

Though coveting the lavish equipment seen in the camp, which could potentially lead to unimaginable wealth, it would require the right opportunity.

His side had a dozen or so military vagrants, but the opposing side was definitely not lacking either.

Compared to his group of military vagrants, the opposition was younger, and their tactical training had not diminished but was still very professional!
