Chapter 159 Abandoned Military Base

Early in the morning on the fourth day when everyone came to Inta, Suisui, who woke up from a hangover, first looked at the top of her head and around her, then she lifted the quilt and looked at the clothes she was still wearing and the clothes she had taken off. After losing his shoes and cotton-padded clothes, he wanted to understand what happened last night. Then he got up carelessly, put on his cotton-padded clothes and carried a kerosene gas lamp and got out of the tent. He greeted his classmates who had also woken up and walked not far away. hot spring run.

In Ji Ma’s tent next door, Wei Ran was still fast asleep on the folding bed. As for Ji Ma, he was snoring on the ground covered with bearskin, holding his backpack as a pillow. .

At 9:30 in the morning, the sky above our heads was completely bright. Everyone who had eaten and drank enough locked the tents and weapons that were not used for hunting into the mineral processing workshop, and then returned by plane. Inta.

In the next day and a half, the girls headed by Suisui, led by Misha and Alili, visited all the old buildings left over from the Soviet era in Inta, and also bought many I picked up some old antique souvenirs with the imprint of the Soviet era, took photos one after another, and ate all kinds of delicacies in this small polar circle town.

At noon on the fifth day, after lunch, with everyone seeing them off, the girls who had gained a lot followed Misha and boarded the plane to Kazan.

On the other hand, Suisui stayed with a proud look on her face, waving her cell phone at Wei Wei like a show off, "My mother agreed and let me go back with you."

"Since Afule is willing to stay, come and see it with us!"

Jima lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke and said, "But it's best Let’s set off now. The weather forecast is that there may be a snowstorm soon. We’d better come back before the storm comes.”

“Let’s go!” Wei Ran nodded and looked at Alili, who was happy. Waving his hands, he led them back into the An-2 aircraft parked not far away.

With the roar of the propellers, the old plane took off again, taking the four of them to the direction of the Ural Mountains.

After more than an hour of slow flight, Alili controlled the plane to circle and lower its altitude, and finally landed steadily in a forest clearing next to the foot of the eastern Ural Mountains.

Because of the snow cover, it was not obvious from the sky, but after the plane landed, Weiran could clearly see that near the foot of the mountain, the two buildings only had five buildings. The reinforced concrete building, like the candles on a birthday cake, pokes most of its body into the rock formation at the foot of the mountain.

And there is a hemispherical man-made building on the top of the mountain not far from the two buildings. Directly in front of the two buildings is an irregularly shaped open space, and further away is completely surrounded by dense coniferous forests and strange barbed wire covered with snow.

That’s not all. In the corner of this open space, in addition to the wreckage of a Mi-8 helicopter with only its main frame remaining, there is actually another one with its engine removed, but the remains of the Soviet Air Force An 2 with the sign, and several trucks almost buried in the snow. In addition, on the other side of the barbed wire fence, there are still several chest targets with only outlines and bullet holes left.

"This is it"

Alili pushed open the hatch and signaled everyone to put on their snowshoes. Then he and Jima jumped down in no particular order, while busy using the wire rope to escape from the cabin. He fixed the aircraft on the bumpers of several scrapped trucks in different directions and explained loudly, "The one on the top of the mountain seems to be an astronomical observatory, and there is a quite large telescope in it. The two buildings below, The building on the left is full of power generation equipment, and there is nothing valuable in it. The interesting things are on the right, but there are probably not many people coming to this place, so there are many wild animals, so you two should bring guns."

Hearing this, Suisui, who was about to jump off, immediately turned around, took out an AK rifle with a folding stock from the travel bag between the two rows of seats, put it on his shoulder, and took out another A Makarov pistol, pulled the slide and loaded the bullet.

"What weapon do you want?" As Suisui spoke, he pulled out an AK rifle again and handed it to Wei Ran who had jumped out of the hatch.

"That's enough, come down quickly." Wei Ran took the rifle and when he saw that Suisui wanted to get a few more magazines, he immediately urged him angrily.

Suisui shrugged, put the two magazines into the pockets of his cotton coat, and quickly jumped out of the cabin.

After a while, Alili and Jima had already pulled the wire ropes that fixed the plane. After they saw Wei Ran and Suisui each carrying an AK rifle used by the patrol, they were naturally happy and relaxed. They just took out their pistols and loaded the bullets. Then he took Wei Ran and Suisui towards the two buildings not far away, with their windows sealed with cement.

"Alili, how did you find this place?" Wei Ran asked, throwing the rifle in his hand to the lazy Ji Ma, and then took away the rifle in Suisui's hand.

“That was two years ago,”

Arili said as he walked forward, “At that time, our air patrol was assisting a nearby gold mine to catch illegal gold diggers. I encountered a snowstorm and accidentally discovered it when I made an emergency landing here."

At this point, Alili turned on his headlights and led everyone into the building on the left. Although it looked extremely dark because the windows were sealed with concrete, the space inside was spacious beyond Wei Ran's expectations.

Under the illumination of the light, what occupies most of the space on the first floor of this building are oil tanks painted with red paint, as well as Soviet flags and various propaganda slogans on the surrounding walls. . In addition to this, the rest of the horns are scattered with some animal bones.

Follow the rusty stairs to the second floor. There is a group of large fuel tanks on this floor.Generator set. These large-scale equipment that seemed to have been installed at the beginning of the construction of this building are extremely well preserved. Not only are various facilities and equipment covered with thick plastic sheets, there are even some in a desk drawer next to the stairs. A thick maintenance manual and an extremely detailed maintenance log.

I picked up this maintenance log and turned to the last page. The time displayed on it turned out to be July 25, 1972! On the next page, there is only one sentence left on the yellowed page: "Thank you for your selfless dedication!"

I carefully turned over each page. Unfortunately, this maintenance log It was all filled with professional and boring data that he didn't quite understand, and had no value at all.

Wei Ranshou, who had found nothing, put it back in the drawer and climbed to the third floor under the leadership of Alili. Half of the rooms on this floor were warehouses with various signs. The shelves are filled with wooden boxes containing various parts.

The space on the other side of the corridor is mostly filled with expired firefighting equipment and gadgets such as gas masks.

Continuing to go up, there are some clean offices and rooms such as reading rooms, gyms and even canteens on the fourth floor. But without exception, these rooms were all cleaned. Apart from the dusty tables, chairs and benches, nothing valuable could be found at all, let alone any records with written information.

Continuing to walk upstairs without believing in evil, the rooms on this floor are all equipped with empty beds and simple furniture, except for the animal excrement in the corridor and a road leading to the hemispheric building on the top of the mountain. Outside of the steel plank road, there is still no valuable information.

"Should we go to the top of the mountain first or the building on the right first?" Alili asked, standing at one end of the plank road.

"Can this plank road be walked?" Before Wei Ran could say anything, Ji Ma asked first. It was also his first time here and he had only heard about it from Alili before.

"You should be able to walk." As Alili spoke, he was already stepping on the snow-covered steps. He walked up and jumped vigorously with a calm expression.

The dull sound and sour crunch made Wei Ran and Suisui take a step back. As for Ji Ma, he retreated directly to the corridor.

Alili shook his head helplessly, "Then let's go to another building and have a look!"

The three people in the corridor looked at each other, and then they all relaxed. tone. He followed Alili downstairs obediently and walked through the thick snow to the door of the building on the right.

Unlike the previous building, this building actually had a crudely made welded iron door installed on the first floor. There were even four or five padlocks on the iron door alone.

Wei Ran waited patiently for Alili to open all the locks. When Ji Ma struggled to open the iron door, the scene inside immediately made Wei Ran's eyes widen.

The first floor here is empty, onlyThere are two parallel vehicle repair ditches, and signs such as oil depot and spare parts depot are hung on the surrounding doors.

But just by looking at Alili's lack of interest, you can tell that there should be nothing valuable here.

Follow the other party to the second floor. Although the windows on this floor are also tightly sealed with cement, they are much cleaner than those downstairs. There are neatly distributed dormitories and canteens. Room.

Alili happily opened one of the locked rooms, pointed to the weapons and ammunition boxes filled with them, and said, "The weapons we used to experience shooting were all obtained from here."

Wei Ran picked up an AK rifle and looked at it, and then picked up an SVD with a scope, but there was a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Suisui, who had been following Wei Ran, asked.

Wei Yan put down the dusty sniper rifle, "After reading the maintenance log in the previous building, I thought this place was sealed in 1972, but if it was 1972, this place was not sealed at all. There may be so many weapons left. This seems more like a situation that would only occur when the Soviet Union collapsed." Seeing the three people including Suisui looking at him, Wei Rantan said. Tanshou explained, "In 1972, Brezhnev was in power. You should know that leader better than I do, who was corrupt, liked to kiss men, and preferred to use medals as body armor.

So if this place was sealed at that time, not to mention these weapons, even the generator set in the building next door would have been secretly sold so that the top garrison commander here could give enough gifts and move it to a more comfortable place.

But since these weapons and the generator set in another building were left behind, it was only during the disintegration of the Soviet Union that there were similarly dismantled soldiers and military equipment everywhere. No one values ​​these individual weapons, let alone taking them away. They can only be left here to gather dust."

"Victor, we don't care when this place was abandoned."

Ji Ma pulled out a box full of grenades from the gap between the shelves and the floor, "Quickly tell me if this can be turned into a place dedicated to gun shooting experience."

"It may be possible to rely on the weapons stored in this room, but the ammunition here may not be enough." Wei Ran shook his head, "And we'd better find out first whether this place has been abandoned or forgotten. Otherwise, it will cause big trouble."

"You don't have to worry about the previous problems." Alili pointed to the door, "There are several such weapons arsenals, and the bullets are also relatively small. You have a lot more imagination. But what do you mean by that last sentence?"

Wei Ran walked out and said, "Let's finish visiting this building first. As for that sentence, I need to finish it. Maybe I’ll have the answer after I see what’s going on inside the observatory on the top of the mountain.”
