In the windy and snowy valley, Professor Jonas, who was over fifty years old, stood on the sled. He carefully put his head out of the ventilation window on the top of the tent and carefully observed another tent not far away, as well as two tents. The four reindeer huddled together between the tents.
After hesitating for a long time, Professor Jonas retracted his head, sat on the sleigh and looked at Eric, who was still unconscious with blood on his head, with a sad expression. In his hand, he also held a 1911 pistol made in Norway that had already been loaded with bullets.
"Alas..."
Professor Jonas sighed, finally put away the pistol, turned to dig out the medical kit they brought from the sleigh, and From the mezzanine of the medical cabinet, I took out a small injection bottle.
"If you don't have so much curiosity, maybe I will take you to graduate successfully and train you to become an expert in meteorology. Now, you can only stay with your cousin and classmates forever Here it is."
While chanting, Jonas reached out and took out a piece of bread from the wooden box next to the gasoline stove, broke it in half, and poured some of the injection bottle into each piece of bread. White medicinal powder.
Putting the bread with the filling aside, Professor Jonas threw the mountaineering bag filled with film, two reindeer skin blankets, and even Eric's small bag specially used to carry cash into the sleigh. .
Looking at the situation of the other tent opposite, he took out a night vision device from his bag that he had never shown to the other three before and put it on his head, then carefully pushed it away. Holding the two pieces of bread in the oil drum, he got out against the strong wind and fed them to the two reindeer outside.
After seeing them finish eating, Professor Jonas immediately led the other two reindeer back to the entrance of the tent, hitched them to the sleigh, and then pulled out the wooden sticks used to support the tent and poked them on the ground. , then shook the reins vigorously, and expertly maneuvered the sleigh out of the tent, disappearing in the wind and snow.
Almost at the same time that he disappeared from the end of sight, the tent that had lost its support was also making a loud noise in the strong wind. It soon broke free from the weight of the surrounding oil drums and turned to take pictures. Wei Ran and Leo's tent, then rolled and flew into the night sky.
The tent was not the only one that lost control. The two reindeer that had just eaten the bread also wailed and broke free from the reins, running out in different directions as if going crazy.
Such movement outside naturally attracted the attention of Wei Ran and Leo. The two looked at each other, and the latter immediately climbed onto the sleigh and looked outside, while the former was already lying on the cold snow, looking warily in the direction of the tent entrance, ready to take out his pistol and pull the trigger at any time.
After just one glance, Leo shouted something to Wei Ran in a panic, then jumped off the sleigh, pushed away the heavy oil drum and ran out.
Realizing something was wrong, Wei Ran quickly got up and followed, and then saw the tied Eric lying on the snow surrounded by oil drums, while Professor Jonas and the reindeer, At this time, all the shadows were gone.
Help Leo carry the unconscious Eric back to the tent, and while Leo used the oil barrel to press the tent door again, Wei Ran briefly checked Eric's injuries.
There was a wound on his temple that extended to the base of his ear. There seemed to be some broken glass in the wound that was bleeding constantly.
Looking around, Wei Ran took out a simple medical kit from his mountaineering bag, then stopped Leo, who was about to untie Eric, and gestured for him to pull it off. Kerosene lamps were brought and the wounded were held down.
After rummaging through the medical bag, Wei Ran injected a small amount of lidocaine around Eric's wound. After waiting patiently for a moment, Wei Ran immediately started debridement and suturing. The first stitch had just been stitched on his side, and Eric slowly opened his eyes.
"Don't move," Wei Ran quickly reminded, "My suturing skills are not very good, so be patient and don't move. If you have the strength, why not tell me what's going on."
"Thank you"
Eric subconsciously touched his pants pocket and quickly told what happened not long ago, while Leo next to him also started to use Weiran to listen. He asked something in Norwegian.
After Wei Ran finished suturing the wound, the gloomy Leo immediately stood up, picked up the shotgun and flashlight on the sled, put on his goggles, hat and gloves and put on his ski boots, holding his skis and The snow pole went out.
"He went to find Jonas?" Weiran asked Eric behind him while pressing the tent door again with the oil barrel.
"Yes" Eric answered Wei Ran's question in a voice that almost only he could hear.
Wei Ran thought for a while, then sat across from Eric and asked, "You didn't tell me just now, what's in those films?"
"It seems to be just some polar hydrological information"
Eric explained emotionally, "But my cousin Leo insists that it is gold. The gold was stolen by Germany from Finnmark during World War II. Even these days, he has been trying to kill the professor and steal his hiking bag.
I had no choice but to steal one and show it to him, but before I could put the film back, he was killed. Professor... was discovered by Jonas, and what happened just now"
"Just some polar hydrology information?" Wei Ran frowned and muttered to himself. Said, "That is something more valuable than the same weight of gold."
Eric opened his mouth and looked worriedly in the direction of the tent door. He said nothing more from beginning to end, but his face was sad and The worried expression could not be concealed at all.
At the same time, Leo had already braved the strong wind, lowered his body, and chased out of the valley along the remaining sled marks on the snow. From time to time, he would blow a whistle and keep pressing it with his lips. a plastic whistle to try to call back the two reindeer.
As both sides chased each other, the sled tracks continued towards the simple dock due west of the island.Reach out. Leo quickly guessed the former's intention as he pursued her in the snowstorm on skis, but a sneer appeared on his face that was hidden by the mask.
In this kind of weather, the fishing boat he hired has already returned to Finnmark County. Even if the other party can escape to the dock, there is no way to leave!
What's more, this Bear Island is high in the east and low in the west. Even if there is a north wind, the skis under his feet will not be much slower than the reindeer sleigh. Even because of its light weight, he can completely ignore it everywhere. The visible snow nest takes a shorter journey to the pier.
Thinking of this, Leo let go of the whistle that he had been holding with his lips. He first looked at the compass on his wrist, then forcefully poked the ski pole, and at the same time, he used force to slightly change the direction with his feet, taking risks. Sliding straight towards the pier.
On the Bear Island tundra shrouded in polar night and blizzards, the two of them were speeding towards a common destination.
However, as he got closer and closer to the dock, the look of disbelief on Leo's face became heavier and heavier. Even though it was shrouded in a blizzard, he could already clearly see the simple pier shrouded by searchlights, and he could even see the fishing boat that was supposed to return to Finnmark before the blizzard!
"Why didn't Martin leave?"
Leo subconsciously covered the head of the L-shaped flashlight that had been strapped to his thigh, then simply turned off the flashlight and lowered his body carefully. He moved forward, then lay down in the snow, using the scope on the shotgun to observe the movement of the fishing boat just a few dozen meters away.
Not long after, from the direction to his left, Jonas drove the sleigh and ran over slowly. The captain Martin, who had been hiding in the cabin, immediately came out to greet him.
Leo, who was lying in the snowdrift, immediately clenched his fists. After a moment of hesitation, he simply loaded the shotgun with bullets!
Seeing that the two people were about to enter the cabin, Leo no longer hesitated, and the scope moved between the two people on the boat, and finally aimed at Professor Jonas and decisively pulled the trigger. !
After a crisp gunshot, Professor Jonas, who was shot in the thigh, stumbled and fell to the ice-covered deck. The tall and fat Captain Martin immediately raised his hands when he saw this.
Leo, who was hiding in the snow, snorted coldly, put another bullet in his head, pointed it at Professor Jonas, who was struggling on the deck dozens of meters away, and pulled the trigger again. !
After the second gunshot, Professor Jonas was shot in the right hand, and the pistol he had just drawn slid along the ice-filled deck into the sea.
"Martin, throw your gun into the sea." Leo shouted at the top of his lungs after taking the third bullet.
I don’t know whether he understood or understood the current situation. The fat captain Martin immediately took off the holster under his arm and threw it directly outside the fishing boat.
"And the knife and revolver in your boots!"
Leo held up the shotgun and walked towards the dock.He continued to shout while walking in the same direction. He and Martin had known each other for more than 10 years. The two had poached polar bears together and even smuggled caviar from the Soviet Union together. He could say that he knew better than Martin's wife what Martin's habits were. !
By the time Martin was standing on the deck, holding a revolver in one hand and an AK47 bayonet in the other, throwing it into the sea, Leo had already walked to the dock.
"What's going on?" Leo asked gloomily.
“This old guy came to me before getting off the boat.”
Martin raised his hands in the bamboo tube and said like pouring beans, “He said he would wait here when the first snowstorm comes. Wait for him. As long as I send him back to Finnmark County, I can get ten thousand dollars. If I can keep it secret from you, I can get another ten thousand dollars."
"He paid?" Ouyin continued to ask with a sullen face.
“Not yet”
Martin continued to raise his hand and pointed to Professor Jonas who was still wailing on the deck with his chin and said, “But he said he will definitely pay. Otherwise, I can send him back and ask your rich cousin for the money."
"Kneel down with your back to me," Leo said with a cold face, "Martin, for the sake of it. For the sake of our friendship over the years, don’t force me to shoot.”
On the ice-covered deck of the fishing boat, the tall and fat Martin knelt down without hesitation with his back to Leo. He put his hands on the deck guardrail.
After staring at Martin's back in silence for a long time, Leo moved the muzzle of his gun and pressed it against Professor Jonas's chest. He asked with a cold face and an unusually sure tone, "Professor Jonas, listen. Do you know Norwegian?"
"Simple communication is no problem," Professor Jonas replied with a sigh.
"I need you to explain"
"Explain what?"
Professor Jonas struggled to sit up, "I have helped your cousin I found the meteorological information he wanted. I only wounded him, not killed him, and I didn't even kill you. I just wanted to leave early with what belonged to me. What's the explanation? "< /p>
Leo hit the former's chest with the muzzle of his gun, "Then explain what you secretly took away?"
Jonas stretched out his hand to grasp the muzzle of the gun and replied stubbornly. He said, "It's just some personal belongings left by my father."
"Personal belongings left by your father?" Leo put his finger on the trigger, "I'll give you one last chance. Explain what you stole."
"One million dollars"
Jonas said abruptly, "You and Martin sent me back to Finnmark County alive. I'll give you $1 million. You see, this blizzard will take at least a week, enough for you to send me back, and then come back here with your cousin Eli. Ke said he didn't find me..."
"Bang!"
Before Jonas finished speaking, he remembered on the deck.There was a crisp gunshot. Leo turned his head in shock and looked at Martin, who was holding a 1911 pistol in the distance. Then he looked down at his blood-stained chest, and then he fell to the deck with his head up.
"How did you kill him?!" Jonas stared at the indifferent Captain Martin with wide eyes.
"As long as I kill him, no one will share the $1 million with me." Martin walked to Leo and squatted down, pressing the muzzle of the pistol against the latter's chest, and once again The trigger was pulled.
Until he was sure that Leo was completely dead, Captain Martin directly pressed the muzzle of his gun still stained with the blood of his friend against Captain Jonas, "In addition to the $1 million being mine, I also wanted to save you. , you have to pay an extra $1 million for killing my good friend, do you have any objection?"
"You are a murderer!" Jonas said with a cold face.
"Yes, so I don't mind killing one more person"
Captain Martin picked up Leo's shotgun and threw it away, "Old guy, this is Norway, more To be precise, it's Bear Island that the police can't control.
As it happens, I'm not the kind Leo or his nerdy cousin, so if you want to survive, you'd better bleed out. Tell me clearly beforehand what is in your backpack and how much it is worth."
"At least 5 million US dollars"
Jonas looked at it coldly and looked greedy. Captain Martin, "It records the hydrological information of German surveying and mapping in the Arctic Ocean during World War II. If you are not worried about being approached by the Soviet KGB, just take it."
"Aren't you worried? ?" Martin asked, looking at Professor Jonas.
“Worried, of course worried.”
Professor Jonas looked at the blood on his hands, “That’s why I used Eric to come to Bear Island, but now you The idiot killed his brother."
"Who said his brother is dead?"
Captain Martin patted Leo's increasingly cold cheek, "He didn't sell it. Did he drop the film he snatched from your hand and run away? The dead people are Professor Jonas and Captain Martin." Upon hearing this, Professor Jonas's eyes lit up at first, and then he hesitated. He looked at the greedy Captain Martin and said after hesitating for a long time, "You'd better let me survive, otherwise you won't be able to see the buyer I contacted in advance."
"Of course, I Of course I will let you survive and rush back to Finnmark County as quickly as possible."
Captain Martin said as he picked up Professor Jonas and helped him walk into the warmth. cabin, and on the deck, Leo's gradually cold body gradually froze together with the deck.
