"Mrs. Anna, your student Mr. Leonid asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

Big Ivan pretended to bend down slightly, and said respectfully to an old lady with silver hair who was lying on a rocking chair at the back of the car with her eyes closed. This old lady was also the first person they saw in the black market without a mask.

"Leonid?" Anna didn't even open her eyes. "That bastard Leonid wouldn't say hello to me for no reason. He must have brought me trouble."

Having said this, the old lady Anna raised her head, glanced at Big Ivan sharply, thought for a long time, and then said uncertainly, "I seem to have seen you before, what is your name?"

"Ivan, Ivan the Great from Smolensk, I was here once a few years ago."

Anna looked confused, but then she waved her hand carelessly, raised her hand to pick up a magnetic drawing board that was obviously a child's toy from the small table next to her, and handed it over, "Forget it, I really can't remember, but you know I

I really don’t have much to do with Leonid, tell me, what do you want to know from me?”

Big Ivan took the drawing board, wrote "Svesa" on the drawing board with a magnetic pen wrapped with tape, and handed it to Anna along with a thick wad of dollars.

The latter only glanced at the words on the drawing board, then erased them very quickly, then picked up the dollars and counted them twice one by one, and then said slowly, "What clues have you found?"

"There are many clues, but few useful ones."

After Big Ivan finished speaking, he took out the tablet computer from his backpack, retrieved the information collected during this period and handed it to the other party. As for the ammunition depot they were looking for, they didn't mention it at all.

"You can go shopping around first," Anna put on her reading glasses and said while looking at the information on the tablet.

"We can just wait here." Big Ivan's attitude was surprisingly good, but he had no intention of moving away.

The old lady Anna studied the information carefully as if no one else was around, and time passed by. Shi Quan and others waited patiently for more than an hour before the old lady returned the tablet to Big Ivan, and then picked it up tremblingly.

The cane knocked on the side of the truck.

Amidst the banging sound of "dang-dang-dang", a lean young man ran out of the cab of the truck. The old man and the young man communicated in Ukrainian, which was very fast but not loud.

The driver quickly climbed up the trunk and started rummaging through the boxes to find something.

More than half an hour passed, and the young man threw a slightly retro portfolio to Big Ivan. At the same time, the old lady Anna said, "A few years ago, an old guy bought the same position from me.

Information, for Leonid's sake, if you are willing to pay another sum of money, I can tell you the target he is looking for."

Big Ivan happily opened his satchel, took out another wad of dollars and handed it to the other party.

After taking the money and counting it carefully twice, Anna picked up the magnetic drawing board and scrawled "German Army Group Center Second Army Logistics Maintenance Station". When Big Ivan nodded, the former immediately erased the writing on the drawing board and transferred it to

The thread asked, "How are Leonid and his granddaughter doing now?"

"He works in my antique shop, and occasionally his granddaughter will come over to help." Big Ivan responded respectfully.

Anna, who had an eccentric personality, waved her hand, pulled up the wool blanket covering her body, and then closed her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't want to say anything more.

Big Ivan didn't care, he didn't even bother to say goodbye, and simply left the used bookstall with everyone.

"In one hour, everyone can wander around freely."

Big Ivan pointed to the road sign with the red light flashing above his head, "Gather here in an hour, and don't go alone."

Knowing that this was not a place for conversation, everyone simply put aside their curiosity for the time being and moved freely in groups of two. As for Deng Shuxiang, who was alone, he naturally followed behind Shi Quan and Elena.

Because of the previous reminder, Shi Quan and Elena kept their Geiger counters on basically the whole time and would not pick up anything easily. But even so, they still found a lot of good things here.

At another used bookstall set up in a van not far from Mrs. Anna, Shi Quan held an atlas the size of an induction cooker and turned over it over and over. On the cover of the atlas, there was also a

It has a borrowing label of "Institute of Military History of the Soviet Union" and the date is September 1, 1987.

Shi Quan happily paid the "high price" of 85 US dollars to buy this thick atlas. Shi Quan handed it to Deng Shuxiang behind him, and he continued to wander around the stall with various objects.

discovery. In the next stall, Elena was bargaining for a well-preserved Lenin Medal.

After strolling leisurely in this underground black market for an hour, everyone returned to the pre-arranged gathering place with a full harvest.

Although there was not much time, everyone gained something. He Tianlei bought a military radio produced in Germany after the war, while Big Ivan brought back a spy camera that was already outdated.

After confirming that everyone was present, everyone followed Big Ivan to another passage, and under the command of the staff, lined up to take the elevator to leave.

When they came up again, they were already in the back kitchen of a Ukrainian dumpling restaurant across the road from the chemical factory. Everyone stuffed the gas masks on their heads back into their bags, took off their gloves and threw them into the trash can, and then opened the back door.

Left the kitchen.

After a long detour back to the parking lot, the Ural truck drove toward the outside of the city under the driving of He Tianlei. In the warm trunk, Shi Quan finally asked the doubt in his heart, "What is the origin of that old lady?"

"When Mrs. Anna was young, she was a clerk in the KGB during the Soviet era."

Big Ivan winked and said, "She was also the teacher and lover who introduced Leonid into the industry. However, after Leonid became disabled, they never met again."

"Let's take a look at the information she provided us." Nasha changed the topic at the right time.

Hearing this, Big Ivan took out the damp file bag from his bag and tore it open. In addition to a map that was exactly the same as Leonid's method, there was also a scrawled summary, "In

At the end of the Battle of Kursk, the Svisa Forest used the Svisa River as a natural defense during the battle, providing important help to the German defense line."

"It seems that we are not only searching in the Switha Forest, the Switha River is also an important target."

When Shi Quan said this, he couldn't help but secretly open his map view. This morning, the hand-drawn map he found in the old hunter's truck also provided him with an arrow, and this green arrow happened to be located in Si.

In the southeast corner of Visa City, there is a forest separated by a wasteland, and the Svisa River also passes through this forest.

"Since we are relying on the Switha River as a natural defense, it means that the ammunition depot we are looking for is probably on the west bank of the river." Nasha looked at the dense markings on the map, "But it doesn't seem to be there.

Mark any point."

"Because it's a forest farm"

Elena compared the map compiled by Shi Quan, pointed to the area of ​​the forest farm marked by Shi Quan and said, "The biggest enemy of the Digging Party, besides aerial bombs, is the forest farm. Although those loggers don't know much about history, their eyesight is very good."

It's amazing, no matter what is hidden in the forest, it can't escape their eyes."

"And even if there are any left behind, they will destroy all the clues."

Shi Quan said with deep emotion that he once witnessed a scene in Smolensk where a lumberjack used cut red pine to detonate World War II landmines. That scene really made him say "f*ck!"

Any other more appropriate evaluation.

"What are the arrangements after we go back?" Big Ivan asked as he put away the map.

"First, we can find the last piece of forest according to the original plan."

Shi Quan took out a roasted sweet potato from the wood stove, peeled it and handed it to Elena, "Since that old hunter is looking for a repair station, and has been looking for it for several years, and even killed his colleagues, at least it shows that

He has every reason to believe that there must be something buried in that forest."

"What if we happen to meet him?" Liu Xiaoye, who had been silent, asked after taking the last bite of baked potatoes.

"I will not offend others unless they offend me. There is no need for us to conflict with him. After all, this is Ukraine, not Russia." Shi Quan decided the bottom line without even thinking.

The dilapidated Ural truck was speeding along, and when they returned to the RV campground in Svesa Forest, it was just in time for dinner.

They each had a sumptuous dinner. After the meal, everyone had a solid sleep. It was not until it was completely dark that they started their cars one after another, lined up in a long line, and drove back onto the highway towards their destination.

destination.

At the same time, a dozen slovenly old men had gathered in the hunter's cabin that Shi Quan and others had visited.

"Ilyich, tell me what you think." One of the old men with a thick beard urged, holding a shotgun.

"We have to be a little patient this time."

The old hunter slowly wiped the Ruger pistol that had been dismantled into parts. "If nothing else happens, the Chinese guy I saw should be the lucky guy who dug out the train gun in Russia some time ago. He will definitely attract them to Ukraine."

It’s not going to be a couple of World War II tanks or some crap like that.”

"Follow them?" asked another old man holding a wine glass.

"We have been searching for the maintenance station in the forest in front of our home for several years, but we haven't found it. We might as well let these young people help."

The old hunter said with a smile, "It won't be too late for us to take action after they find them. After all, we are the owners of this forest farm anyway. Even according to the rules of the Diggers, they must leave at least half to the land owner."
