Chapter 1371 A secret that cannot be seen in the sun
When the white light faded, and when Wei Ran gradually regained his sight and saw everything around him clearly, he took a long breath and came back. He finally returned to the world he was familiar with!
Without paying any attention to what was written in the metal book, he hurriedly stood up, opened the locked door, and ran out past the dog Beria who was squatting at the door.
But before he even ran two steps, he turned back, hugged Beria who was catching up, and kissed him hard on his broad forehead, "Long time no see, Beria!"
He rubbed the dog's head vigorously and ignored the dog, who was tilting his head and looking confused. He quickly ran to the door of the basement and opened the locked explosion-proof door.
When the bright and warm sunshine shone on his body, Wei Ran subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, and then involuntarily let out a pleasant sigh.
Sunshine, long-lost sunshine.
Taking a deep breath, the moist and warm air coming from Lake Kaban across the road from the courtyard wall seemed to be re-injected with vitality. In the courtyard of the library next door, those who came to read books, drink coffee and chat
Strange or familiar guests also gave him the urge to come forward and chat with them casually.
After rubbing the dog's head that was close to his legs again, Wei Ran simply turned around and returned to the basement, locked the blast door again, and got into his own studio.
After a while, the metal quill pen had completed all the work and was lying quietly on the pale yellow paper.
He reached out and turned the metal book forward to a page. When he saw the words above, he couldn't help but be startled:
long night
1941, Antarctic winter.
Major Fabian Schubert, the overwintering captain, fell into a crevice in the ice and committed suicide with paralysis of his lower limbs.
Geologist Carsten Kinski died from a brain infection caused by trauma.
Team doctor Jörg Schmeling died of hypothermia after drinking.
Naturalist Dr. Franz Cross died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Radio operator Hanno Allofs committed suicide due to loneliness and blew up the entrance to the weather warehouse.
In the Antarctic summer of 1942, the whaling ship on which the logistics transport officer Major Brenda Aigner was aboard was bombarded and sunk by the British Navy.
In July of the same year, due to resource constraints caused by the war situation, Antarctic meteorological and mining construction work was suspended indefinitely.
At the end of April 1945, during the Battle of Berlin, relevant records and files of participants were set on fire.
Starting from February 1951, the Nazi remnant consortium restarted the construction of the weather warehouse cave, and the following month, the bodies of Hanno and others were buried in the church cemetery of Puerto Blanca, Argentina.
In April 1965, the meteorological warehouse cave collapsed due to geological movement and was completely abandoned.
Wei Ran was not in a hurry to continue looking down, but Wei Ran had already frowned.
He didn't expect that there was such a big secret hidden in these few lines!
The remaining consortium!
Wei Ran couldn't help but shiver, or in other words, he couldn't help but shiver with excitement!
In any case, he never expected that after the war, there would still be Nazis thinking about that cave, and he never expected that those Nazis would be kind enough to bury Hanno and others.
So...going to Argentina to see them?
After thinking for less than a second, he decisively rejected this dangerous idea.
So what if I go to see it?
Can Hanno and others still survive?
If I really go there, the only consequence may be that it will cause me countless troubles!
That is the remnant of the Nazis, and it is the remnants of a "consortium"!
Even though World War II ended more than half a century ago, those old Nazis are still synonymous with madness and trouble!
What's more, the cave has collapsed, Hanno and others have finally left Antarctica, and even that period of history has been deliberately erased by arson. What's more, the purpose of his investigation this time is not to erase
Is there a possible secret about Major Schubert?
But...
What are those Nazi remnants doing infrastructure development in Antarctica? Poaching penguins? Obviously impossible.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of the "mine" that had been mentioned time and time again.
If he remembered correctly, he couldn't have remembered wrongly. When he was insinuating Hanno, the "mine" whose exact location was unknown seemed to produce coal.
Undoubtedly, for that ghost place in Antarctica, coal is almost equal to warmth. However, it is obviously impossible to transport coal out of Antarctica and then generate profits.
Today's Antarctica is almost the last unclaimed land on the planet, but it is also a piece of fat that is stared at by all countries.
Nowadays, let alone developing Antarctic minerals, even if you try to steal a penguin from the Antarctic continent, it will probably be repaired into various shapes.
He admitted that he did not want to be contaminated by the Nazi remnants that only existed in legend. But even if he thought about it with Gorbachev's mind, he knew that those Nazi remnants probably did not want to touch the interests and over-sensitivities of those countries in Antarctica.
of nerves.
But if not for the coal there, what is the purpose of those brittle remnants?
Furthermore, he once again thought of the box that had been taken away by Major Aigner just after entering that fragment of history, as well as the things in the box that were so hastily glanced at that he didn't even see the outline clearly.
Forget it!
Wei Ran shook his head and suppressed his curiosity. No matter what he had there, since that period of history has been erased by the remnants of the Nazis, and the cave no longer exists, then Major Schubert's body will not be drawn out.
More trouble.
In this case...
With a silent sigh, Wei Ran looked at the next line of text below: Those people stayed in the long polar night of Antarctica forever, waiting for the summer that would never come.
Below this line of text, there is also a line of address written, a detailed address in Port Blanca, Argentina.
Turning the page to the back with an expressionless expression, there was another line of text written under the slowly rotating red vortex, "We may have the opportunity to conquer the highest mountain in Antarctica, but we will never be able to defeat the long loneliness. Just like we may be able to avoid
Battles are fought, but soldiers will eventually die in the war.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a moment of silence, Wei Ran put away the metal book and took out the contents of the latest red vortex.
What I got this time was a mountaineering bag from the German Mountain Division of World War II. The most eye-catching thing on this bulging backpack was the Swiss-made mountaineering pick.
He took out the mountaineering pick and put it aside. When he opened the backpack and took out the contents one by one, he couldn't help but shook his head. In addition to a pair of goggles and a pair of metal snow goggles, there was also a rock hammer and two strings.
Pitons and a pair of crampons, as well as a bunch of locks and a pair of snowshoes, plus a bundle of climbing rope that looked to be thirty or forty meters long.
But compared to these, in the two accessory bags of this mountaineering bag, there are also a lunch box full of bell pepper beef jerky made by Wei Ran himself, and... and a wine bottle containing a legacy message.
It really leaves no room at all...
Wei Ran rubbed the tattoo on the tiger's mouth of his left hand, took out the wine bottle that he had sealed with his own hands, and placed it on the corner of the table as a special souvenir - to commemorate those partners who had been completely forgotten by history, and the feeling that he never wanted to see again.
Memories of loneliness and despair.
Taking out the metal book again, Wei Ran took out all the negatives from the paper bag on the side of the black and white photo on the latest page, and looked at them one by one.
In these negatives, in addition to the photos that Wei Ran had taken before, there were also several shots that had never appeared before.
In one of the negatives, forty or fifty sled dogs with their leashes taken off were squatting on the snow. In front of them, there was a pile of penguin meat, frozen meat and even various vegetables.
This is... this was probably taken by Hanno at the last moment...
Wei Ran silently put the negatives back into the paper bag next to the photo.
After putting away his hiking bag and calming down his mood, he couldn't wait to leave the basement and walked into the bright, warm and lively sunshine with his dog Beria following suit.
That evening, before Mr. Charlotte woke up from his drunkenness, Suisui and others rushed back with their friends such as Coco and Matthew who had come to visit, and they were at the hospital of Monica and personal doctor Marta.
The host started preparing dinner.
"Why do you talk so much today?"
In the living room on the first floor of the villa, Suisui curiously asked Wei Ran. As early as when they came back, she noticed that Wei Ran was chatting enthusiastically with Taxi. Now that everyone is back, she is a bit of a homebody.
My boyfriend also seems to be crazy and seems to have endless things to say to everyone.
"When friends come, I have to entertain them well. I have to be more enthusiastic."
After Wei Ran explained, he switched to Italian again and said to Matthew, who was hugging the big-eared fox crazily, "Matthew, where did you go to play today? How do you feel here?"
“We went to the Kazan Kremlin!”
Matthew held the two big-eared foxes in his arms and replied happily, "We were there almost all day, and I even had vodka-flavored ice cream!"
"Vodka flavored ice cream?"
Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, then asked in Chinese, "Is there any ice cream with vodka flavor?"
"No, I lied to him. It tastes like birch sap."
Suisui spread her hands without any pressure, "He has never drank vodka anyway. This little guy is so cute. Everyone likes to tease him."
"I have been deceived by women since I was a child." Wei Ran couldn't help but grin.
"Are you really okay today?" Suisui confirmed again.
"What can happen to me?" Wei Ran took the milk tea from Lola and handed it to Suisui, "Everything is normal."
"I've rarely seen you so talkative."
Suisui took the milk tea and took a sip. She smiled and asked jokingly, "Don't you have a crush on Monica?"
"I..."
Wei Ran couldn't help but squeeze the second cup of milk tea, and said angrily, "Then you are wrong, I am attracted to Mr. Charlotte."
"You are so disgusting! Isn't the old man happy?" Suisui frowned and said an even more disgusting keyword.
"Are you talking about me?"
Charlotte, who had also just received the milk tea, took a sip of milk tea in confusion, and then exclaimed in surprise, "This tastes really good!"
"Ha! British"
After Wei Ran translated the other party's question into his native language, he and Suisui murmured in a tacit understanding, and then high-fived in an even more tacit understanding. As for the joke that just involved Monica, it was naturally just a joke.
That’s all.
"This is milk tea, milk tea improved by Lola."
Wei Ran explained simply, and then picked up two bowls of fruit from the tray brought by Lu Xinda and handed them to Charlotte and Matthew respectively, "Try this, it tastes very good, it's Saman
Mrs. Sha’s specialty dessert.”
"Thank you, I just need some fruit to sober up."
Charlotte quickly put down the milk tea, took a spoonful of fruit with a spoon and put it into her mouth. At the same time, she kept asking, "Victor, when do you plan to start the investigation?"
“It’s already started and there will be results soon.”
Wei Ran handed the third bowl of fruit to Suisui and said, "Also, Mr. Charlotte, have you decided what to do with the gifts Matthew's parents brought back?"
"What to do with what?"
While Charlotte was talking, she had already picked up the glass bowl with the fruit and started to scoop it directly into her mouth with a spoon.
"While you were sobering up in the afternoon, I had already started a preliminary investigation."
Wei Ran finally picked up his bowl of fruit and said while eating, "The military ring that was recovered from the Antarctic corpse is Fabian Schubert. I can't find any information about him at all.
.”
"I can't find it either." Charlotte was not surprised at all. "There is no official information about this person that has been released."
"Not only that, there's also something wrong with that navy sword."
Weiran continued, "There is nothing wrong with its workmanship, but there are many errors in the materials used."
"What do you want to say?" Charlotte put down the half-empty glass bowl of fruit and asked while wiping the corners of her mouth with a tissue.
Hearing this, Wei Ran hesitated, but in the end, he violated some of the bottom lines of a historian and said, "My preliminary guess is that the corpse might not have set foot on the Antarctic continent during World War II."
"Isn't it during World War II?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows, and then a look of realization appeared on his face, "Victor! You are a genius! I want to talk to you alone, right now."
Not knowing what she thought of, Charlotte added additionally, "Of course, we can just find a quiet room this time. There is no need to go to the sauna."
"I'll have a chat with Mr. Charlotte alone."
Wei Ran and Suisui explained, then stood up, took Charlotte up to the second floor, and sat on the sofa in the small living room.
"Do you mean to find a way to prove that the body was the work of those who compiled Nazi conspiracy theories after the end of World War II?"
Before she could sit down, Charlotte asked excitedly, "This is indeed a good idea. We just need to find a way to put some period-appropriate items on the body."
"Forehead..."
Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, as his original idea was not like this. What's more, before this, the work he had been doing was to restore history, and this was really the first time he had falsified history.
What's more, he also had to consider whether the brittle remnants mentioned in the metal book still existed. If it had disappeared over time, that would be fine, but what if it was still there?
When the time comes, they will be so fake that they will hit the point of a gun, and it is inevitable that they will not arouse the other party's suspicion.
Thinking of this, he finally said, "Mr. Charlotte, I don't think this is a good idea."
"Do you have any better ideas?" Charlotte asked with interest.
I have a better idea...
Wei Ran muttered to himself, but said, "The trouble we are facing is actually only one thing. We cannot involve Matthew's parents in this matter. Of course, there is also their scientific research project. I understand it correctly, right?
?”
"That's true." Charlotte nodded, but did not continue to say anything. Instead, she looked at Wei Ran expectantly.
"At least based on the current information, I can only guarantee that there is a high probability that there is no secret in that corpse."
Wei Ran deliberately gave a vague and vague suggestion, "In this case, wouldn't it be nice if we just sent some people over to replace the body with a crack in the ice?"
We can even ask Matthew's parents to conduct another scientific expedition in the new crevasse and work with the electrician to discover the body."
"Then what?" Charlotte asked.
"Didn't you already predict it?"
Wei Ran spread his hands and asked, "Then you come forward to hire the electrician and let him form an expedition team to find the secrets that may exist in the body. For other things, I don't think I need to give any better suggestions.
"
"But if that..."
"No if"
Wei Ran said firmly before the other party finished speaking, "As I just said, the material of that sword is different from the navy sword in the record, and at least so far, my data channels and I have
There is no record of the name Fabian Schubert. Based on this alone, I can actually conclude that the ring and the one are fake. If I can't find it..."
Secretly clenching his fists, Wei Ran continued, "Mr. Charlotte, it's not that I'm arrogant. If I can't find anything from the known clues, I don't think I will be more professional as an electrician.
Especially since he is likely to accept your employment soon."
"Are you confident that there won't be any more secrets on that body?" Charlotte asked with a frown.
"No," Wei Ran assured with a nod.
"The position of that body cannot be changed."
Charlotte said cautiously, "I'm worried that Mr. Electrician already knows the location where the body was found. After all, Matthew's parents' scientific expeditions were clearly recorded, so his position cannot be moved, absolutely cannot be moved.
.
What we should confirm most is whether there are any other secrets or clues about secrets in that corpse."
"Then we can only..."
"Victor, are you interested in going to Antarctica?" Charlotte asked seriously.
"Go... to Antarctica?" Wei Ran couldn't help but swallowed, "In this season?"
"It's about the safety of Matthew's parents. Apart from you, there is no one I trust more." Charlotte promised, "I won't waste too much time, and I will ensure your absolute safety."
Victor, you just need to examine the body with the professionalism of a historian, and take away all suspicious things when you leave Antarctica.
If...I mean if, if there really is any secret in that corpse, then we must completely hide this secret so that it will never see the sun."
"Can't see the sun..."
Wei Ran gritted his teeth, swallowed hard and said, "Mr. Charlotte, let me... let me think about it."
