Chapter 1304 - Dense Fog (2/2)
The car was not going fast, but it was heavy and it took so at a normal speed, Driver would not have been able to brake successfully in such a short distance
Li Du got down from the car and asked, “Hi, old fellow, is there a problem?”
An old man without a shi+rt had appeared in front of the car The oldstick and his ar down to his chest
The old e Li Du could not understand
The cars behind theuide that Steve had hired walked over The guide was from a research institute on the island Russia had a research institute formerly called Prim, nowadays known as Cape Baranov, on Bolshevik Island Steve had also hired one of the locals as a security guard
Their guide understood the local speech and walked over to talk to the oldon?”
Andrey was a big, strong Russian man He turned his head around and said, “Mister Steve, this old e He says that we cannot set off on a day like this”
Li Du asked softly, “He can’t be serious, can he? What does a local shaman do?”
Hudi, as beside him, answered, “It’s complicated to explain in detail In simple terms, it’s someone old and ho can talk to spirits”
Steve asked again, “Why can’t we set off? Because it’s foggy and we ht run into an accident? That’s fine There are no other cars on the island We can just drive slowly”
Andrey continued to speak with the old man Then he turned to them and said solemnly, “This man says that evil will come out on such a day The evils froests that we postpone our plans until the fog goes away”
Hearing that, the bunch of thehed Needless to say, that was just superstition
Andreyk said, “I’ve seen such weather You knoork in a research institute I’ would float at a height above the land and the surface of the sea It’s like so”
“Perhaps it has so to do with huuessed
Andrey shook his head “I’ve heard about this man’s predictions in the past Even our laboratory director spoke about that The locals say that there are evil spirits co the fog from the deep sea and hence, it is very cold”
That point was true The fog on the earth’s surface had appeared quickly and it was very, very cold It was as though snoas floating above the earth’s surface When it touched one’s skin, it felt freezing
“Such an evil spirit releases the fog that is floating above the earth’s surface, and it looks for prey through the eyes on its legs Its field of vision is not obstructed by fog, so it would be very dangerous to travel this day,” Andrey said seriously
The laughter got louder and louder and Steve patted Andrey’s shoulder Steve said, “This is just a spooky tale If there is such ait to the United States If we do, we can earn more money that we can spend in ten lifetimes”
Andrey felt somewhat unsettled and said, “How about if ait for a while? The fog is gathering so quickly It should be gone quickly too Maybe we should wait for the fog to scatter before setting off?”
Steve shook his head and said, “We don’t have oodwill Let’s continue our journey”
The old ain and Andrey went over to translate Steve’s words Shaking his head, the e as he mumbled to himself
The car passed the old h theThen he realized that the old man was blind
