Chapter 1635: Mountain of waves

The place was called Fruity Town, which could be an expression of hope because the land of the far north was short of fruit and vegetables.

It was a small town. The northern part of Canada was like Siberia, except for wetlands and swamps, and the weather was harsh. Every year there was a period of polar night when the sky was dark for almost half of the year.

Living in such an environment could be so stressful that even countries with such good welfare as Norway, Sweden, and Iceland still had high suicide rates and the highest incidence of mental illness in the world.

This season was good, after all, when the summer came, and the climate was mild and sunny. Li Du thought the local climate was very good when they arrived, not too hot or cold. It was indeed comfortable.

There were probably a few hundred houses in the town, as well as a lone bar, movie theater, restaurant, and a church.

Few strangers came here, and the town was almost a closed living area, so when Li Duʼs motorcade drove in it immediately drew a lot of attention.

Soon, some people appeared on the side of the road. They stood in front of the shops and houses and looked at the motorcade curiously with folded arms. The looks that came from around them made Li Du feel uncomfortable.

He found a bar and went in with his men.

Li Du gave Brother Wolf and the others a wink, asking them to go around to invite people to drink and see if they could fish out any news about Steve.

The result made disappointed him; he heard nothing about Steve.

Watching Li Du frowning, the bartender leaned over the table, smiling and asked, “Hey, buddy, are you looking for someone here?”

With nothing to hide, Li Du nodded and showed him one of Steve’s photos. “Yes, I had a friend who was said to have been here, and then we had lost contact with him.”

It could be because Li Du was clearly a customer with a lot of money, or it may be that the bartender didn’t encounter any strangers usually and was idle, so he was quite enthusiastic about this matter.

He took the picture and looked at it. Then he shook his head and said, “No, this guy definitely did not come to our town, or I, Cat Ear Bond, would not be uninformed.”

Li Du was very disappointed. It seemed that he had come on this trip for nothing.

The bartender said, “Leave your contact number behind, and if we find anything here, I will give you a call.”

The goodwill shown by the other side made Li Du feel touched. He left his satellite phone number, gave the bartender a tip, and returned to the ruins of the Inuit village with Brother Wolf.

Young Markelov, who had some information, said, “Boss, there is indeed something weird about this place. Every year, people come to Lake Angikuni for hunting and fishing and they usually get back alright. But if they go to the island in the middle of the lake, it will be different.”

He pointed to the island, which was pretty big, as he said this.

“What is the difference?” asked Li Du.

As he inquired, he released the space-time bugs, which, as he suspected, stopped obeying him again. There seemed to be something here that had suppressed the space-time bugs’ power from releasing.

Young Markelov said, “There is something odd about the island, namely, occasionally someone goes missing. Do you know the name of this island in the lake? It is called the Lost Island, and no one in Fruity Town dares to go there, because it is easy to get lost on it.”

Li Du looked at the island from a distance. There was still a dense mist on the lake at that time; it was like a big area of fog. The island seemed to be hidden behind it. He looked far ahead and felt almost hypnotized.

Looking at the island, he asked Brother Wolf, “Have any of Elsonʼs men ever searched the island?”
