"Yang Jing, there seems to be a loophole in the search plan we made earlier." In the cabin where Yang Jing and Gege lived, Gege frowned and said while rubbing her belly.

"My dear wife, don't worry about these things. You are not feeling well, so you need to rest. Don't waste your energy thinking about this kind of thing. If we can't find it in one day, we can look for it in a week. If we can't find it in a week, we can look for it in a month. I don't believe we can't find it! Unless this treasure map is a fake."

Gege smiled, took a sip of the hot water on the table, and said, "I'm fine. It's just the pain during my period. It's an old problem. It will be gone in two days."

Yang Jing was a little helpless about Gege's illness. The "Taoist medicine" skill could make an old man look 20 years younger, and even cure some medically difficult diseases, but it was a little helpless about this kind of minor illness. Yang Jing treated Gege twice, and each time the treatment was effective immediately, but the pain continued the next day.

"Yang Jing, I didn't go out with you these past two days. I was just thinking about this matter here. Obviously, this treasure map can't be fake. After all, when you first found this treasure map, there were eight precious gems hidden in it. Antonov wouldn't be so idle as to use such precious eight gems as a dowry for a fake treasure map, so I think this treasure map must be real."

As she spoke, Gege raised her left hand, and the pink diamond ring sparkled under the light. "This kind of top-quality gem is obviously not something Antonov could obtain, but it happened that in the totem pole where you found the treasure map, there was such a precious gem. The only source of these gems was from the treasure of Nicholas II, and only the Russian Tsar at that time was qualified to own such precious gems. Obviously, after Antonov finished hiding the treasure, he took eight gems from it."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "I know this very well, so I have always insisted that this treasure map is real."

Gege's stomach seemed to feel better. She stood up and pointed at the map and said, "In fact, we overlooked an important factor before searching. If we can take this factor into consideration, we should be able to narrow the search area a lot."

Yang Jing was very smart. When he heard this, he immediately blurted out, "Oil!"

Greg smiled and snapped his fingers, "Bingo! You're right, we all overlooked this thing."

"In November 1919, the Soviet Red Army conquered Omsk, and Kolchak's million-strong army was vulnerable to the unstoppable Red Army. In this situation, Kolchak led his army eastward and attempted to enter the farther East Siberia, relying on the geographical advantage to compete with the Red Army. His idea was very good, but unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and God did not give Kolchak this opportunity. A fierce snowstorm killed all hopes of Kolchak's comeback."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "That's right. Although the severe snowstorm stopped the Red Army's pursuit, it also completely killed all hopes of Kolchak's comeback."

Gege twisted her waist slightly and said, "Under such harsh conditions, Kolchak still let Antonov lead 50 soldiers to hide the treasures in the north, which is enough to show how much importance Kolchak attached to these treasures. But no matter how much importance he attached to them, there was nothing he could do. Antonov only had 50 men and two military vehicles, and those two military vehicles were mainly used to transport the treasures. Moreover, Kolchak's troops were extremely short of fuel under that situation. So you can imagine how much fuel Antonov's small team could carry?"

Gege pointed at the map and continued, "Although we don't know where Antonov's team will spend the winter, both Shiquan Tunguska and Lower Tunguska are more than 300 kilometers away from Krasnoyarsk, and Lower Tunguska is more than 600 kilometers away from Krasnoyarsk. But even a distance of 300 kilometers is an almost insurmountable chasm in Siberia in winter. In Siberia in winter, when the Yenisei River is completely frozen, even if they have enough fuel, Antonov can't run far with just two military vehicles. Not to mention that their fuel is likely to be extremely short."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct. That is to say, after Antonov and his men left Kolchak's army, they went north along the Yenisei River and eventually spent the winter in Guquan Tunguska or Lower Tunguska further north. Then, after the Yenisei River thawed the following year, they most likely used boats to go north along the Yenisei River."

"Yes, this is not just a possibility, but they will definitely do so. Because Antonov and his team do not have enough fuel to go all the way north by land. Even if they go from Lower Tunguska to the coast of the Arctic Ocean, the straight-line distance is more than 1,400 kilometers. Antonov and his team do not have enough fuel to go north by land. Therefore, they will definitely go north by ship."

After a pause, Gege continued, "Similarly, even if they arrived at the Arctic Ocean by ship, what would they do there? They still didn't have enough fuel. After so many days of searching, I am now very confident that Antonov and his men most likely did not reach the Arctic Ocean, or even the Yenisei Bay. They most likely landed somewhere near the Yenisei Bay, then looked for a suitable place to hide the treasure, and eventually hid the treasure there."
