After resting for a few hours at Akeem's house, when Wei Ran woke up again, the sky outside the window finally got a little darker.
There's nothing we can do about it. Even if it's not a very short day in this season, the night time is pitifully short, and the criterion for distinguishing day and night is just whether we're tired or not, so naturally there's no such thing. Jet lag concept.
While Aunt Zhou Shujin, Chris and Aunt Jana were still sleeping, the two old guys, Professor Alexei and Akeem, each held two large boxes of wine and various canned and self-heating foods. , and even things like camping tents and stoves were installed on the RV at the door.
When Weiran helped put three shovels, two metal detectors, and three shotguns into the trunk, Akeem got directly into the driver's seat.
"Come on up" Alexei greeted Wei Ran, and he couldn't wait to get into the co-pilot's seat.
Almost as soon as Wei Ran closed the car door, Akeem stepped on the accelerator and drove the car quietly towards the dock.
"Akeem, there's no signal in that damn place, right?" Professor Alexei asked expectantly.
"No, how can there be a signal in such a remote place?" Akeem replied without thinking.
"I like places with no signal." As he spoke, Professor Alexey took out half a bottle of gin from who knows where, unscrewed the cap and drank it hard. Big mouth.
"You two are really looking for the historical truth?" Wei Ran, who was sitting in the back row, asked suspiciously.
"Of course we are going to see what secrets are hidden in that lovely shelter." While speaking, Professor Alexei raised his neck and took another sip.
"I hope so." Wei Ran couldn't help but shook his head, too lazy to reveal the little thoughts of these two old guys.
After rushing to the dock all the way, the three people moved all the things stuffed in the trunk into the cabin and fixed them. Then, under the control of Akeem, the small plane took off lightly and flew into the sky. After circling, it flew to the northwest.
After more than an hour of flight, Akeem controlled the plane and began to lower the altitude little by little. In the cabin, Wei Yan had already used the cover of his backpack to take out the contents of the metal book. Telescopes observe the surface of the earth.
Although it is already late June, remnants of snow can still be seen in some locations. In addition, most of what can be seen on the surface are endless boreal coniferous forests, as well as several A road that looks particularly deserted and a few scattered residential areas on both sides of the road. Generally speaking, humans are probably a minority of animals here.
"Akeem, why would your friend want to buy land in such a remote place?" Professor Alexei asked through the communication headset.
"He is a hunter and a skilled leatherworker. Of course, his main income comes from making reindeer sleds and sled dog breeding."
Akeem SlowlyYu responded, "Also, although he is Norwegian, like most Finns, he likes to find a quiet place to hide himself."
"No need to explain, I have already Got it." Professor Alexei responded, "Land here should be very cheap."
"It is indeed very cheap." Akeem responded, "That's how it is in Finland." , the further north you go, the cheaper the land is, but the further north you go, the more beautiful the scenery is. Okay, you should fasten your seat belts, I’m getting ready to land.”
Hearing this, Wei Ranhe. Professor Alexei immediately put on his seat belt and responded. Soon, Akeem controlled the plane to lower its altitude again, and after some circling, landed the plane at the end of a long and narrow lake.
What surprised Weiran and Alexey was that a simple dock was built here, and there were even two oil barrels placed on the dock.
"That was the only fruit of our labor last time we came here"
Akeem had already opened the hatch as he spoke, "The only time this dock has shown value before was when I After my friend was injured, I could drag him directly to the plane." As he spoke, Akeem had already fixed the plane to a log pillar at the edge of the pier, "Okay. , move the bathtub down first, we still have to walk for almost half an hour before we can see the open space."
"The scenery here is so beautiful"
Alexei. While sighing, he had already handed the three children's bathtubs stacked together to Wei Ran, who was the first to get off the car. After the latter separated the three bathtubs, various camping supplies, food and drinks were also put in. In the tub.
Taking a double-barreled shotgun from Professor Alexei, Wei Ran picked up a rope fixed to the edge of the tub and put it on his shoulders, following Akeem at the front. Look at the surrounding scenery.
Perhaps because few people come here, everything here remains original. Even on the opposite side of the lake, you can see two furry foxes stretching out their necks and looking wary. Staring at them, on the sparkling lake farther away, immediately after the plane stalled, some unknown but particularly plump looking birds flew over.
"Bang Bang"
With two clear gunshots, the birds and the foxes on the other side immediately flew away, and Wei Ran's nerves tightened instantly. Stretched, he subconsciously took off the shotgun he just carried on his shoulder.
"Don't be nervous"
Akeem, who was walking at the front, opened the double-barreled shotgun in his hand with a bang and let the two shot shells fly in a parabola. He went to the side and said slowly, "Just remind the surrounding predators that we are here. This will save us a lot of trouble."
"The sound of the plane engine just now is the best reminder. "Professor Alexei urged, "Hurry up, why are there mosquitoes in this ghost place?"
"Because it's summer.”
Akeem responded naturally and used a rope to pull a pink bathtub into the pine forest on the shore.
This pine forest is not dense, but But it was strong enough, and the three of them could feel that the terrain was slowly climbing. From time to time, they could still see some large and small rocks moving forward in the coniferous forest. After waiting for more than half an hour, until the plane behind him was completely blocked by the tree canopy, a small open space suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This is it"
Akeem. Pointing to the white tarp covered by logs in the center of the clearing, he said, “The shelter is under that tarp, and of course, the body is there too. "
"We will camp here tonight." Alexei's reluctance came a little later.
"Alexei, you can't be afraid. "Right?" Akeem joked
"How could I be afraid? I'm just worried that the smell of those corpses is too bad."
Professor Alexei retorted with a puff of beard and a glare, " Anyway, let’s go check out the shelter first.”
Hearing this, Akeem immediately nodded and called Wei Ran and the two men to walk to the tarp in the center of the open space and pull out the edge of the tarp. Then he lifted the thigh-thick logs away, revealing the shelter that had been completely dug up.
Standing at the scene, Wei Ran and Professor Alexei immediately discovered some photos. Among the details that cannot be seen, perhaps the most obvious one is the vague smell of putrefaction, which also shows that the three corpses do not seem to be wax corpses, but have been kept in a state of "low temperature preservation". .
In addition to this most obvious feature and the things seen in the photos before, there is also a floor on the ground of the shelter, and three pictures can be seen on three sides. There are simple cots on the wall. Some of these cots have a box of rusty nails scattered on the bedside, some have a few German lunch boxes, or things like saws, wrenches, and even kerosene lamps. < /p>
"Look at this"
Wei Yan pointed to an object on the edge that was mostly buried by the collapse with a stick, "Why does that thing look like an engine?"
"It does look like an engine"
Professor Alexei nodded, but had no intention of going down to take a closer look. Instead, he knocked on the shelter with a stick he picked up. Regarding the log walls, he changed the subject and said, "Even if you don't consider the difficulty of digging such a large shelter, just fixing the surrounding walls with logs is not a small project. How did those three people do it at that time?"
"There are also those wooden boards laid on the ground."
Wei Ran continued, "Even with the two-man chain saw, how could they have the mood to lay the floor of this shelter and look at the surrounding walls? , one side has also been nailed with wooden boards. Are the Hobbits building a house?"
"I don't know if the Hobbits are building a house."
StationAkeem on the side pinched his nose and said, "How come these corpses have become so smelly just now?"
"Maybe it's because they were exposed to the sun after being dug up. Before that, they It's equivalent to keeping it in the refrigerator."
Professor Alexei looked at Wei Ran and said, "Victor, why don't you go down and take a look at the three corpses that seem to be sitting under their butts? Where is the iron box?"
"Why don't you get down?" Wei Ran asked, rolling his eyes.
“I drank on the way,” Professor Alexei said, licking his face. “What if I accidentally break something valuable?”
“Admit it, you are. Afraid of those corpses"
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he didn't bother to listen to the other party's explanation. He stood up and walked to the edge of the bathtub not far away. He took out a pair of suede leather gloves from his bag and put them on, and then Pulling out another mask, he strolled back and carefully walked down an aluminum alloy ladder on the edge of the shelter.
After decades, these three corpses have not changed much except that their colors have become a little scary, their skin has become a little shriveled, and most of their clothes have rotted away.
However, the stench that cannot be blocked by masks also implies that if they are allowed to continue to sit here like this, they may not wait until winter comes again, and they will become like the melted ice and snow. It will also disintegrate completely, leaving at most some hard bones.
After carefully examining the three corpses, Wei Ran found no fatal wounds. Thinking of this, he carefully picked up one of them and put it aside, then the second one, and the third one. Three, and eventually revealed the tin box they were sitting on.
Because he had witnessed the large mine in Belarus, Wei Ran was extremely careful when opening the box. However, to his disappointment, there were no special items in this heavily rusted box. There was just an empty wine bottle, a few German cans, and a rusty Mauser bayonet.
"Victor, since you have already gone down, please carry the things up first"
Alexey, half-crouching on the edge of the shelter, said, "Especially that A two-man chain saw, and let’s see what model the buried engine is." Hearing this, Wei Ran closed the rusty box lid and handed it to Alec above his head. After Sai and Akeem, they turned around and walked to the other corner, carefully removing the loose soil.
“Why does this thing look so familiar?”
Wei Ran fell into deep thought after looking at the engine he dug out with his own hands, and soon realized that this familiar engine was probably from a semi-automatic engine. I remember when he was on Bear Island, he even repaired the tracked motorcycle himself. Please remember: Free and fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
