Return mission: Under the premise of neither killing nor rescuing others, assist in completing the emergency transfer mission of the radio system, take at least 10 photos, and collect at least three suicide notes.
Gone?
While Wei Ran was stunned, the white light arrived as expected. In this extraordinarily long white light, he saw an almost dazzling number of available props!
Three oil barrels, a hip flask, a pen, bearskin mittens, Robert's camera bag, a paratrooper's gravity knife, a savage mangosteen backpack filled with kitchen utensils, an airdrop box with a fixed cast iron stove, a lighter and a body stove, and a cigarette case in sterling silver
Three piece set.
In addition, there are also sleds equipped with tents and other items obtained in the labor camps, and even skis, ski poles and the huge Schneider 25x105 telescope obtained in Murmansk!
Gulu...
Wei Ran swallowed hard, and his heart became cold and cold - just like the body temperature that became more and more clear at this time.
When the white light faded and the field of vision was restored, what he saw was a desolate and dim scene.
Looking around, I saw that the outfit I was wearing was no different from the corpse in the photo.
The white jumpsuit is extremely thick, and the elbows, knees and even the buttocks are reinforced with thick white fur.
The difference in details is that what is fixed on his cuff is a watch with a 24-hour dial, and the watch is also wrapped in a suede leather case.
In addition, the jumpsuit is also tied with an outer belt, on which are hung two bulging bread bags, one on the left and one on the right.
I opened one of the bread bags and took a look. It was full of fat and thin meat strips cut into thumb-sized pieces, and judging by the color, it seemed that they were all cooked meat strips.
He took out a piece of meat and took a bite to taste it. The fishy and slightly salty taste immediately made him realize that this thing was probably dog food.
After all, at this moment, there was a sled pulled by 14 sled dogs parked next to him. Those sled dogs wearing small leather shoes on their paws all looked at him with their heads and tails wagging, and from time to time, they would
It barked twice.
Throwing half of the piece of meat in his mouth and half of the meat in his hand to the leading dog captain, Wei Ran then looked at the sleigh.
This wooden sled didn't carry anything, but at the rear of the sled, there were two large and scary penguin corpses lying on it.
"boom!"
Just at this moment, a clear gunshot was heard in the distance. Immediately afterwards, he noticed a man dressed similarly to himself standing behind a big rock. He was still holding the gun in his hand.
The Mauser Army Type C rifle that I have seen in photos.
"Victor!"
The man raised the telescope and ordered without looking back, "I just hit another one, go and pick it up quickly."
Your uncle, what do you think of me?
Wei Ran cursed secretly in his heart, but responded with a particularly enthusiastic response, grabbed the sleigh, shouted at the dogs, and started running.
After riding the sled for less than two hundred meters, Wei Ran discovered a headless penguin body that was over one meter tall lying on the snow, and the surrounding ground was stained red with blood.
Next to this penguin, there was another penguin pacing back and forth and chirping sadly.
"boom!"
There was another gunshot, and Wei Ran could even feel the airflow when the bullet flew past his side! He also saw with his own eyes that the penguin that was screaming two or three meters away was accurately hit by the bullet.
He hit his head, then shot out a piece of blood mist and fell straight to the ground.
That bastard is a lunatic!
Wei Ran's heart sank. He had just seen clearly that the gun in the opponent's hand did not have a scope, and the distance between him and the huge penguin was only two or three meters, let alone the sled dog he had just shouted at.
Along the way here, the wind has been blowing in this wilderness!
In other words, it was an accident that the bullet just missed me!
No wonder I have to let you kill someone!
Wei Ran gritted his teeth, bent down, picked up the first penguin body and threw it into the sleigh, then picked up the second penguin body and threw it into the sleigh.
Although he had seen penguins in the zoo more than once before, Wei Ran could not tell what species the two dead ones in front of him were, as well as the yellow-cheeked penguins lining up and fleeing in panic further away.
The only thing he knew clearly was that these two penguins were really big, each weighing fifty or sixty kilograms!
When he drove the sleigh and carried the two penguin corpses back to the man, he found that the man had already stepped on the skis and had the gun on his shoulder, "Take the harvest, we should go back, two
The supply ship will arrive in a few hours, and these penguin meat will be the best gift."
Who the hell wants this as a gift? Wei Ran muttered secretly, but still agreed simply.
Watching Fabian Schubert, who seemed to be the corpse of later generations, leaving on skis, Wei Ran also threw the two penguin corpses that were left on the sled.
However, he was not in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he took off his jumpsuit and took a look.
As expected, inside this jumpsuit, he was really wearing an M36 field suit. Not only that, there was also a mountaineering expert badge fixed on the inside of this jumpsuit close to his chest.
It is a pity that the belt inside this jumpsuit only has a German water bottle fixed on it and does not have any weapons.
Without wasting much time, Wei Ran fastened the buttons again, and then gave each of the dogs a small piece of meat, and then ordered them to drag the heavy sled along the ski marks left by Fabian.
He chased after him.
It took almost half an hour before and after, and a small wooden house appeared directly in front.
There was a faint smoke coming out of the chimney of this wooden house, and beside the wall on one side, there was a pile of black coal circled in an oil drum.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Next to this pile of fuel, in addition to a weather box and a working GG400 generator, there is also a slightly smaller one with no windows.
cabin.
Its roof chimney also emits a faint smoke, but just by listening to the noise coming from inside, you can tell that it is probably a kennel prepared for sled dogs.
After stopping the sled, Wei Ran had just untied the reins of the dogs. After a while of urinating and defecating, they each shook their fur and squatted in a circle, looking at Wei Ran eagerly.
At the same time, a short man also walked out of the room. While helping Wei Ran unload the penguin carcasses, he said, "Victor, it seems that you have gained a good harvest. Go take off the children's shoes and carry them."
Leave the penguin job to me."
"Thanks"
Although Wei Ran didn't know what to call the person in front of him, it didn't stop him from taking off the shoes that protected the paws of the dogs and asking in a pretentious manner, "Is everyone here?"
“Of course they are all here”
The short man lowered his voice slightly and replied with a sense of schadenfreude, "Same as last time, Dr. Cross was condemning Major Schubert for hunting penguins, and even the lines were the same as last time.
And Dr. Yog, he is already studying how to cook the emperor penguin meat today. As for Dr. Kinski, he is still busy drawing maps."
"And you?"
Wei Ran pretended to be teasing and said, "You have told them all. If you and I are not included, I feel there is something missing."
"Ha! Indeed!"
The short man cleared his throat cheerfully and said in a tone of voice, "Hanno has just repaired the radio station and is now preparing to collect penguin down to continue sewing his sleeping bag. As for Mr. Victor, he will probably continue as usual.
Just like playing with his camera."
“This is complete”
Wei Ran let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, and then laughed together with the short soldier across from him who seemed to be named Hannuo.
He took off the dogs' shoes one by one and hung them on their respective collars with locks. Wei Ran then turned the sled upside down between the two cabins and tied them to a nail driven into the ground.
, and then he dragged two of the penguin corpses and got into the small wooden house with Hannuo.
As soon as he entered the door, the heat wave that hit his face made his whole body start to sweat. While taking off his clothes, he also took the opportunity to observe the wooden house with only one window.
This wooden house has three high and low bunks placed against the wall, and in the middle is a cast iron stove and a dining table filled with various tableware.
There is a table on both sides of the entrance. On the table on the left is a fu12 radio transceiver system that should have been installed on the communication command vehicle. There are also several German oil drums under the table.
On the table on the right, in addition to a globe and a microscope, there are also several stacks of books and a set of drawing equipment. Of course, there is also a man busy drawing.
Through observation, he also noticed that his name was written in German on the edge of the bunk bed next to the radio table, and his lower bunk seemed to be that short man named Hanno.
A tall man.
Before he could take off his clothes, in the wooden house next to the stove, a man with a round figure, wearing a suit, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, said seriously, "Fabian Schubert"
Sir! I hope you can understand that we are here to conduct great scientific research, not to hunt penguins for food!"
"Dr. Franz Cross"
Fabian Schubert, who had taken off his jumpsuit at this time, said equally seriously, "I also hope you can understand that this expedition is led by me, and what you have to do is complete your research.
Project, other things, especially the life and death of a few penguins, are not your turn to worry about."
"Aren't you two tired?"
A man who was slightly balding and was drawing a map on another table with a magnifying glass reminded him without raising his head, "Since Fabian first hunted penguins, the two of you have been talking almost consecutively."
Not a single letter has changed, or you can just have a decent duel for Miss Penguin."
"Shut up Carsten!" Dr. Cross snorted angrily, but simply closed his mouth.
"Since your dispute has no result again, in line with the principle of no waste, let's eat these penguins as before."
Another blond man in the room with protruding cheekbones and a cigarette in his hand said with a smile, "Today we will cook steak with red wine..."
"Don't even think about touching that red wine!"
This time, except for Wei Ran, who had just taken off his jumpsuit, the others rejected this man's proposal with a particularly unanimous attitude.
"Don't touch the red wine. Other than that, do whatever you want."
After Fabian finished speaking, he picked up the kettle on the stove and poured himself a cup of hot water. He also reminded him, "Anyway, the last batch of supplies will arrive in two hours. Dr. Cross, that thing
Have you come up with any results?"
"Unfortunately, not really."
Dr. Cross, who had just quarreled with him, shook his head, sat down on his bed, and while stroking a locked wooden box on the bedside, he said regretfully, "The best way at the moment is to give it away.
Go back and organize more manpower to study it."
"And you?"
Carsten, who was drawing a map at the door, asked without looking back, "Dr. Cross, do you want to follow me back?"
"I have not decided yet"
Dr. Cross shook his head, "I want to go back and study that thing, but I also want to stay and see if I can find more similar items. This next long winter may be the last chance for me.
.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You only have the last two hours to think about it."
Major Fabian said here and greeted, "Victor, do you still have film in your camera? Take a group photo of us before Dr. Cross makes a decision. Maybe we will never see each other again this winter.
It’s Dr. Cross who likes penguins.”
"wait a minutes"
Wei Ran, who had already taken off his jumpsuit, climbed up the ladder to his upper bunk before he finished speaking.
There are not many things on this bed, just a sleeping bag, a pillow, a 45-pound mountaineering bag and a suitcase that are standard for mountain hunters.
I opened my mountaineering bag and took a look. It was full of mountaineering supplies such as mountaineering picks, piton hammers, crampons, ropes, and some changes of clothes.
I opened the suitcase again and took a look. In addition to a few bottles of wine and a dozen packs of cigarettes, the rest of the space contained a set of simple film development equipment and a dozen film sealing boxes.
Under the cover of this box, Wei Ran took out Robert's camera bag from the metal book, then took out the camera and replaced it with a standard lens, and then loaded it with a brand new film.
By the time he came down with the camera, the other five people had already taken their positions by the stove.
"Look at me"
Wei Ran, who was standing at the door, greeted them familiarly and then pressed the shutter towards the five people.
After taking the group photo proposed by Fabian, everyone wisely changed the topic.
It was through their chatting that Wei Ran, who was helping Hannuo pluck the penguin's feathers, also learned a lot from a few words.
First of all, it is the end of March 1941.
Secondly, this wooden house, which is only thirty to forty square meters in size, is located on the ice sheet about 10 kilometers inland from the Schirmacher Oasis. It is not a Norwegian whaling station occupied by the Germans, but it has frequent radio contact with the whaling station.
.
The last information obtained was the identity of the people in the wooden house.
Major Fabian Schubert, the body that was later discovered by Matthew's parents, was the captain of this duty team of only six people including the guards, and he was also a fanatical Nazi.
You can guess it clearly from his enthusiasm for the mustache in his words, especially when he boasted proudly that he had participated in the Night of Long Knives and Kristallnacht operations.
Dr. Franz Cross, who had a quarrel with him over penguins, was a mineralogist with half Norwegian ancestry. Compared to Major Schubert, his personality was much gentler, and it was obvious that he liked small animals very much.
He likes both penguins and sled dogs outside.
Next is Carsten Kinski, who has been busy drawing. He is a geologist and the person with whom Major Schubert can chat best, but the topic they talk most about is
It's not the bluff of Mustache, but some professional topics in the field of drawing.
As for Jorg Schmeling, who has protruding cheekbones, he is a doctor who stays here. In addition to his job of ensuring everyone's health, he is also responsible for taking care of sled dogs together with Wei Ran, and is also a photographer.
As well as chess and penguin meat lovers.
Although he and Dr. Cross have big differences on the issue of penguins, it seems that the two of them often discuss chess. Not surprisingly, the topics between the two of them basically revolve around chess.
The last short man who always smiles, his full name is Hanno Alovs, he is the radio operator here, and also serves as the maintenance engineer of this cabin, ranging from radio kerosene lamps to bed boards
, the generator, the sled and the cabin itself, no matter which one breaks down, he will be responsible for repairing it - in addition to being a photographer, Wei Ran is also Hanno's maintenance assistant.
After figuring out the identities of everyone, Wei Ran and Han Nuo also stripped the four huge penguins of their goose down, and threw the internal organs and the skin with some remaining down into the pot to cook and prepare for feeding to the outside.
Sled dogs.
What he also figured out was the meaning of the existence of this wooden house. It seemed to be a rescue station or an outpost, but who was used to rescue or warn against, the people in the wooden house not only did not continue to delve into this topic, but seemed to
There are also some taboos.
Soon, Dr. Jörg threw the penguin legs and wings and goose breast into the pot in the manner of German stew. Not only that, he also boiled out the fat and poured it into a pot.
In a tin can.
According to the doctor, these oils, which don't taste good, are natural chilblain creams - even though he already has a box full of them under his bed.
While the doctor was busy cooking delicious food, the short radio operator named Hanno also stuffed the goose down he had just collected into a huge canvas bag.
At this point, Wei Ran has finally figured out that the people in this wooden house are too boring. Whether they are hunting penguins, eating penguins, condemning penguins for eating, or even reusing drawings and penguin scraps, etc., they are all just for fun.
It’s time to find something for yourself to relieve boredom.
When he and Hanno collected all the flying goose down together, the radio set on the table also came from the ticking code sound.
Almost as soon as the code rang, Hanno quickly sat down at the table and started copying. At the same time, Major Schubert quickly pulled out a locked wooden box from under his bed and took out the key.
He opened the lock and took out an Enigma cipher machine from inside!
"Victor, Yog, let's help you feed the dog."
Dr. Cross and geologist Mr. Carsten said in unison, and at the same time they stood up, one picked up the meatless penguin skeletons, and the other picked up the large pot of penguin scraps broth.
"Let's go"
Dr. Yog also stood up on his own initiative, greeted Wei Ran and left the wooden house together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Obviously, feeding dogs does not require so many people, they are all actively avoiding suspicion.
Following the three people who left the wooden house, Yog opened the wooden door of the kennel house, and the sled dogs with shiny hair also ran out impatiently, and automatically divided into several groups, according to their own rules, enjoying what was thrown to them
penguin skeleton.
At the same time, Yog also took out a can of penguin grease that had been boiled not long ago. He scooped out almost half of it with a spoon and threw it into the hot soup bucket. After stirring it, after it melted, he called to General Wei Ran.
It was poured into a cut oil drum.
Soon, a few dogs with higher status gathered around, sipping the broth that had become cold for a while, and eating the cooked internal organs in it.
"Dr. Cross, do you plan to stay or go back?" Carsten asked in a low voice.
"What are your plans?"
Dr. Cross also lowered his voice and asked, "You have been here all summer. The following polar night is not suitable for terrain mapping at all. There is no need for you to stay."
"I want to stay"
Mr. Carsten shuddered and suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Of course I want to stay. I am more curious than you about what I discovered last time."
“I plan to stay too”
Cross whispered, "But I don't want Major Schubert to continue to lead us. He is too narrow-minded and full of distrust towards us."
"The only one he trusted was Hanno"
Cross muttered in a low voice, and then saw Hanno walking out of the wooden house, "Look, he doesn't even completely trust his own soldiers."
"It seems we are the only two with no choice."
Dr. Yog, standing next to Wei Ran, said to himself, "Victor, are you homesick?"
"It's okay, what about you?" Wei Ran pushed back the question.
“Of course I miss home”
Yog said distressedly, "I didn't expect to work here for so long. Although I don't have any family anymore, I still miss the warmth of Mainz. Compared with here, Mainz is indeed a warm and nice place."
"
Before Wei Ran could say anything, the door of the wooden house was opened by Major Schubert from the inside, "Come in quickly, the supply team has set off, and I have to assign tasks next. Hanno, turn off the generator, pick up the
You won’t need it when you come down.”
Upon hearing the greeting, Hannuo immediately greeted Wei Ran and walked to the side of the generator. After turning it off, he carried it into the cabin with Wei Ran's help. After such a short delay, the cipher machine had been taken away.
Woke up.
"Dr. Cross, and Mr. Carsten."
Major Schubert said before everyone could sit down, "This is your final chance to decide whether to stay."
"I want to stay"
Dr. Cross was the first to give the answer, "I have decided that I want to stay, Major Schubert. You know why I stay."
"What about you?" Schubert looked at geologist Carsten.
"I want to stay too"
Carsten replied simply, "My purpose is the same as Dr. Cross, Schubert, you won't let me down, right?"
"probably not"
Schubert said and looked at Dr. Yog, "What about you? Mr. Yog, are you planning to leave?"
"Me? No no no"
Dr. Yog waved his hand without thinking, "There is no better job than here. I only have to deal with up to five possible patients, and I can eat penguin meat at any time. I don't plan to go back."
This is different from what you just said...
Wei Ran muttered secretly, but did not wait for Schubert to inquire about his stay. Of course, the same treatment was given to the radio operator Hanno.
"In this case, I wish us a pleasant Antarctic winter." Schubert said, having already taken out two bottles of red wine and poured a full glass for everyone.
"Cheers!" Schubert suggested as he picked up his cup, and the others also picked up their cups and clinked them with him, taking a sip without hesitation.
"I don't know what good things will be in this supply."
Hanno said expectantly, "It would be great if the sewing machine I applied for last time could be sent together with the spare parts for the radio and generator. The goose down I collected is enough to make a warm enough coat for each of us."
Sleeping bag.”
"Hanno, you should work in a quilt factory."
Dr. Yog joked, "We need enough medicines and fresh fruits and vegetables more than sewing machines."
"These things will be delivered."
When Schubert saw that the two "intellectuals" Dr. Cross and Carsten had no intention of speaking, he confidently reassured him, "Of course, I'm not sure whether the sewing machine can be delivered."
After the face-saving laugh, Schubert said with a smile, "Let's just tidy up the room before they come."
Naturally, no one would object to such an inconsequential proposal. When they cleaned the small wooden house and put a large pot of stewed penguin meat on the table, a sleigh team also came out in the night.
Came over from a distance.
"They are coming"
Major Schubert said expectantly while arranging his field uniform, "Let's see what good news they sent this time."
