Chapter 640: Encounter

"Do you know Jeff and the other four?" Nicole, who was sitting next to Tony, asked in surprise after hearing Yang Jing say that.

Yang Jing scratched his head. It seemed that there was indeed a guy named Jeff among the four crazy guys. "Is the Jeff you are talking about Jeff Enzos? He is not very tall, but has a big head, a Mediterranean-style haircut, and looks to be around forty years old?"

Nicole smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's Jeff. He's also a New Zealander and is very famous in our New Zealand travel enthusiasts. Two years ago, he said he wanted to take part in a hiking trip across the North American continent. At that time, we all thought he was crazy. But last September, the TV stations reported his feat. He did complete the feat of crossing the North American continent with three Americans."

Tony also exclaimed, "Yes, it is really an incredible feat. They traveled nearly 9,000 kilometers in nine months. The most important thing is that more than half of their journey was in the sparsely populated Canadian ice field, which is even more amazing. I think their feat is even more amazing than Forrest Gump in the movie."

Yang Jing also laughed. Strictly speaking, although Forrest Gump in the movie ran across the United States three times, the difficulty was nothing compared to the feat accomplished by the four crazy guys he met in Alert last year.

Of course, if these four lunatics were based on the German soldier Swenky in another movie, "The Force Awakens", they would be very different.

Yang Jing had seen that movie, and it made his teeth ache. The movie tells the story of a German prisoner named Swenky in World War II, who was exiled to the cold eastern Siberia for 25 years of labor reform. After five years of inhuman life, he vowed to escape from this human world. He alone launched a 14,000-kilometer "polar escape" operation. During his more than three years of escape, he experienced heavy snow, conquered mountains and ridges, and traveled to Siberia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Mongolia and other places. When he arrived in Iran, he unexpectedly became a prisoner. But in the end, he successfully returned to his hometown.

Yang Jing, who has been to Siberia, knows the harshness of Siberia. It took him three years to cross Siberia, which is naturally more difficult than four people crossing the North American continent. The most important thing is that this movie is adapted from a true story. In other words, there really was such a person in history who took three years to complete the feat of walking across Siberia!

Yang Jing told the couple about the movie "The Silence of the Titans". The couple had never seen this German movie, but after hearing Yang Jing's description, they immediately regarded the protagonist in the movie as a god!

Perhaps because they found a common topic, Nicole, who was a little shy at first, gradually relaxed. "Tony and I challenged the California hiking route this time because we were inspired by Jeff's feat of crossing the North American continent. Otherwise, we would not have dared to directly challenge this extremely difficult route. But now it seems that we have done quite well."

"Tony, Nicole, I believe that you two can definitely complete this challenge successfully. The reason why Jeff Enzos and the other four were able to accomplish that feat was largely due to the one million dollar reward. As for you two, you took the initiative to challenge this route without any material incentives. I think you two are much better than Jeff."

"Haha, Albert, thank you for the compliment." Tony laughed heartily.

"I'm not praising you. I'm just stating a fact. When I met Jeff and his four companions in Alert last year, they were in a very bad state. They also insisted on following my ship back to the North American continent, but I didn't agree because we were going to Siberia from Alert..."

"Wow? It's already amazing that you went to Alert, but you also went to Siberia?" Nicole was very curious.

"That's right. Last year, I rented a polar research ship with my fiancée and went to the Arctic Ocean for a tour..." Since they were chatting quite speculatively, Yang Jing didn't mind telling the couple about his trip to the Arctic last year. Sure enough, the trip to the Arctic stunned the couple.

"Albert, I envy you for being able to travel to the North Pole."

"Haha, Tony, going to the North Pole is nothing. I plan to go to the South Pole at the end of this year. How about you two, are you interested in going together? If you are interested, I can reserve two tickets for you two."

Yang Jing felt pretty good about the couple he met by chance.
