The entire episode had happened so suddenly it was hard for them to wrap their heads around it. The attitude of the old men towards them was too strange.
Although not many people inhabited Severnaya Zemlya, there were still residents who lived there. Once in a while, some tourists or researchers came. Hence, if those people were really forest rangers, there was no reason for them to get so aggressive.
The two parties had never met before. Even if those old men had suspected that they were poachers, they should have communicated at least a bit. However, the strangers had reacted too violently.
Li Du was too lazy to get into a fight with those stubborn old men and he decided to stop thinking about it. Instead, he gave instructions to Brother Wolf and the rest to look for a good place to set up a base for their tents and get ready for the meteorite search.
