Chapter 218 Active duty
Before dawn, five vehicles drove slowly along the ruts to the mountain pass to block the reindeer herds who wanted to escape.
I don’t know when snowflakes began to fly outside the car window. Everyone inside the car window gathered around the operating table. They listened to Asak, who had woken up, describing what happened to them after they parted ways. They also roughly knew that he was
The reason for catching here.
It turned out that those deer thieves actually wanted to find the club's motorcade through Asak. In addition to avenging their people, they could also steal a windfall. It must be said that these people were very good at calculating.
"Asak, do you think Skov is trustworthy?"
“Skov is absolutely trustworthy!”
Asak said categorically, "He married a woman from our tribe, and his sister also married a man who left our tribe, the man who drove another truck that day, and even his daughter was with us.
Even if the children sent out by the tribe study in the same classroom, even if they rob other Nenets, they will never do anything to our tribe."
Shi Quan nodded and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingertips. He wanted to evaluate the risks of temporarily stationing here.
Because according to Ono, Asak's wound collapsed quite seriously. Although it has been sutured twice, to be on the safe side it is better not to experience the bumps of the off-road section and to recuperate for three to five days.
"Quanzi, there are three backup radars in the duty room of the water tanker later. As long as we take out two and mount them on the roof of the cave, we will be able to clearly understand every move in the 10-kilometer radius." He Tianlei said with his legs crossed.
, even though he usually doesn’t talk much, he is definitely one of the people in the team who knows Shi Quan best.
"Let's set up all three!"
The sound of knocking on the handrail stopped, and Shi Quan said cautiously, "Since Asak's injury is not suitable for movement, let's take a rest here for the next two days and dig through the cave to see what treasures we can find."
"Yuri, those reindeer."
Asak said worriedly, "There are at least two to three thousand reindeer in captivity in this valley. They are crowded into such a small area, and it only takes a few days to eat all the edible plants."
"Never mind the reindeer, do you still want us to herd the deer?"
As Big Ivan spoke, he handed Asak a cigarette, but before he could take out his lighter, Liu Xiaoye snatched two cigarettes and threw them into the trash can.
"Okay, I'll listen to Ms. Ono in the medical car." Big Ivan shrugged and stuffed the lighter back into his pocket.
"Asak, what you want to say is not just about whether the reindeer will be hungry, right?" Elena put the rolled hand roll back into the cigarette roller. She had already vaguely guessed what Asak wanted to say.
"So many reindeer are locked up here. Even if those bastards can kill them as quickly as possible, there will be no place to store them. According to my experience, someone might come to buy the reindeer in the next few days," Asak said worriedly.
, "The acquirers who cooperate with these people are definitely not good people."
"Leave these matters to us. You can recover well these two days." Shi Quan stood up, "Leizi, Ivan, let's set up the radar now."
The brothers naturally had no objection. Although they had stayed up all night without a sound sleep, it was better to complete these tasks before dawn for safety reasons.
After the three radars placed a Mercedes-Benz circle on the low hill at the top of the cave to ensure that 360 degrees were covered by the radar, Elena had already driven the water tanker and radar duty room to the entrance of the cave, and the long cable
The line was dropped from the top of the mountain and then linked to the monitoring screen in the car.
After setting up a warning range and doing a good job of defense, everyone went back to the RV and had a solid sleep.
When Shi Quan woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning. He opened the curtains and saw heavy snow falling outside the window. There was even nearly half a meter of snow on the roof of the medical vehicle parked nearby.
This is good news. Among other things, at least the rut marks left by the previous car have been completely covered up. Even the reindeer buyers who were worried about it before going to bed probably won't come over in a short time.
In this case, they can stop here for a few days to rest with peace of mind.
After taking a comfortable hot bath to cheer themselves up, the three brothers once again stood with their guns in front of the prisoners who were still leaning against the bumper of the truck.
"I will open your handcuffs later and separate three people to make breakfast. The rest will carry out the corpses in the cave, the wooden shelves, and the scrapped diesel heating stove, and work for us honestly until we leave.
At least you can still survive, but as long as one person does something he shouldn't do, the rest will suffer."
After Big Ivan finished speaking, He Tianlei took the key and opened the handcuffs on everyone, but only the one who pulled Asak over was left.
"As for you, just be an example here! The Soviets need examples, and I believe you, the descendants of thieves and Suka, also need examples!" Big Ivan ignored the prisoner's struggle and handcuffed him to the corner with a grin.
on the road wheels of a tank.
He was right in saying this. These people really needed the power of role models. The remaining 12 people were indeed quite honest. They took the initiative to separate the three of them and picked up some pots and pans from the messy cave. They used the pots and pans that were still hanging in the cave.
Venison on wooden stand for breakfast.
With Elena guarding the door and Big Ivan guarding the inside with a gun, brothers Shi Quan and He Tianlei walked into the tent area with confidence and began to search for valuable materials or weapons they could find.
Unfortunately, after a round of searching, nothing was gained except for finding two pistols. But this is good, as we can safely let the prisoners come in and clean up.
Walking to the end of the cave blocked by gravel again, He Tianlei took a small hammer and knocked here and there to take a look. Finally, he took out a paper towel from his bag, tore it up and threw it on the crack in the gravel. Only the paper towel was visible.
The fragments were blown aside by the breeze before they even hit the ground.
"This place should have been buried using directional blasting. The technology is very powerful."
"Can it be dug?"
"Yes, and we must use the method passed down by our ancestors." He Tianlei replied affirmatively.
"The ancestor's method?" Shi Quan looked at He Tianlei, "When did you learn to play nice with Big Iwan?"
"Hey! It's actually thermal expansion and contraction!"
He Tianlei pointed to the diesel barrel beside him, "There is so much diesel here, and there are ventilation ducts above our heads. As long as we transport all the ammunition out, then cut some wood from outside, pour it with diesel, burn it for an hour, and then use water to burn it."
If you pour it, the concrete and stone will crack, and the rest is a matter of slowly cleaning it out with an excavation arm."
"Reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable!" He Tianlei turned around and walked out, "It's just that the prisoners are busy and they have to clear out all the supplies."
"Aren't they going to be used as porters if they have enough to eat?" Shi Quan smiled evilly as he decided the fate of the prisoners.
After the prisoners had eaten their fill, the transportation work accelerated again. The two Kamaz vehicles that could still be started drove back and forth inside and outside the cave. By about three o'clock in the afternoon, the more than 60-meter-long tunnel was finally cleared and exposed.
regained its original appearance.
The military tents that were moved out of it were set up again at the entrance of the cave. The exhausted prisoners were handcuffed together in groups of four and returned to the tents to rest. As for lunch, wait until the next time they are needed to do something, so skip a meal.
And I can't starve to death.
This time, the three brothers drove directly to the end of the tunnel in reverse. The gravel slope made of concrete was now filled with freshly cut Siberian dwarf pine, and sheets of hairy deer soaked in diesel were spread on it.
Skin.
He Tianlei carried a small bucket of gasoline and poured it on a climbing rope, then pulled one end and walked dozens of meters away until the rope was straightened. He then waved to Shi Quan and Da Yiwan who were standing at the back of the car.
Big Iwan immediately got into the cab, while Shi Quan waited for He Tianlei to get in the car, then took out a lighter and lit the climbing rope soaked in gasoline.
The jumping flames quickly spread to the end of the cave. Before Shi Quan jumped into the car and could close the door, Big Ivan stepped on the accelerator and roared out of the tunnel.
The deerskin soaked in diesel and the oil-rich dwarf pine were quickly ignited, and the temperature at the end of the tunnel suddenly increased. The billowing black smoke was drawn out of the ventilation duct, but it was already adsorbed on the inner wall of the pipe before it emerged from the cave.
"I should have put some deer legs in there just now. The roasted venison must be delicious." He Tianlei stood at the entrance of the cave where cold wind was constantly pouring in, his expression full of regret.
"You are the only one who can think about eating at this time." Shi Quan couldn't laugh or cry.
After waiting at the entrance of the cave for more than an hour, the three brothers carried oxygen tanks for diving and drove the water tanker in reverse for more than thirty meters. Then He Tianlei pulled out the water hose and continued to turn on the high-pressure water gun.
The steaming water mist, the boiling sound combined with the explosion of rocks made the cave feel like a demon was born in a supernatural movie.
It was not until the black water soup mixed with charcoal flowed through the soles that He Tianlei was satisfied and turned off the high-pressure water gun. Big Ivan, who was waiting at the rear of the car, immediately shook the shaft and retracted the water hose.
The water tanker drove out of the tunnel and waited for more than half an hour. He Tianlei drove his car directly to the end of the tunnel. Driving with him was a Kamaz with the canvas shed removed from the truck body.
Carloads of warm rubble were easily dug up by the excavation arms and loaded onto trucks, and then transported outside where the hungry prisoners unloaded them to cover the bodies that had been moved out not long ago.
After working back and forth until midnight, a sufficiently spacious passage was finally dug deep into the tunnel that was once again lit by gas lights.
After locking up the prisoners again, Shi Quan and others couldn't wait to go deeper along the dug passage.
At the other end of the tunnel, which was blocked by rubble, there were three forked roads. The most eye-catching thing was the row of snow-coated tanks parked next to the forked road facing the tunnel!
