Alili and Ji Ma shouted in unison, stopping Wei Ran who had already put his hands on the class, and Suisui who had just put on a new magazine.
Under the nervous gaze of the four people, the strongest wolf was like a diving steam train, revealing its big wet nose in the thick snow that could completely bury them, exhaling white mist while struggling.
He ran towards the forest in the distance.
In the snow trench dug out behind it, a dozen slightly smaller wolf pack members were like carriages hanging on the back of the locomotive, one next to another, following the thrashing of the one at the end.
Advance quickly out of the trench.
At the very back of the team, four wild wolves jumped on the roof of an abandoned truck, hunched over, and kept making threatening whimpers at Wei Ran and others.
Under the watchful eyes of the four guards holding guns, the snow trench extended into the dense forest at an extremely fast speed. Then with a deep wolf howl, the four remaining wolf pack members moved vigorously.
He jumped off the roof of the car, followed the ditch that had been flattened by his companions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was only then that Alili explained, "It's not easy to form such a large wolf pack. Let them go!"
Wei Ran and Suisui looked at each other. The former turned off the safety of his rifle and picked up a shovel. Following Alili and Ji Ma who had already started to start, they started to clean up the snow around the plane and on its wings again. The latter climbed directly onto the platform just now.
Crouching on the roof of the truck, the wolf watched the surrounding environment vigilantly.
Under everyone's busy work, the two skids of the An-2 aircraft were dug out first, and then Alili climbed on the wings and cleared away the snow on them.
While he was getting into the plane to warm up the engine, Wei Ran, Suisui, and Ji Ma hurriedly returned to the building behind them. After extinguishing the bonfire, they took their luggage as well as the movie films, projectors, etc. that they had discovered two days ago.
All the sundries were moved back to the plane. As for the supplies that had not been used up, they were left behind.
Soon after, with the roar of the engine, the An-2, which was freed from the restraints of the wire rope, glide briefly in the snow-covered open space and then smoothly flew into the sky. At the same time, cheers from the people in the cabin were heard.
After a long flight of nearly two hours, Alili piloted the plane and landed smoothly at Inta Airport.
Before the cabin door opened, Jima had already bought a plane to Kazan in two hours. The four of them called Misha, who had returned from Kazan yesterday, and had a sumptuous lunch together near the airport.
Only then did the three Weiran people board the plane again and bought a ticket from Kazan to Volgograd.
That afternoon, when they returned to Wei Ran's studio, Suisui immediately dropped her suitcase and threw herself into Zhou Shujin's arms, screaming. After Jima also made an appointment with Professor Alexey,
, pulling the dilapidated suitcase and ran towards Nikolai's house.
While Wei Ran was following his aunt and professor to organize a wedding banquet for Sui Sui, Jima also reported to Nikolai the military base discovered this time, as well as the package of spy equipment and Wei Ran's speculations.
.
Nicholas, who was sitting by the fireplace, stood up after pondering for a moment, walked into the bedroom alone, took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers.
After more than half an hour, he came out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa again and said, "That military base was abandoned in the winter of 1972."
Ji Ma hesitated and asked, "Then let's..."
Nicholas nodded, "As long as you don't dismantle the telescope and the accompanying computer you mentioned, just use the remaining two buildings. I can even find someone to go there with you to have a look, maybe we can
Get that computer and telescope working again."
"Really?!" Ji Ma suddenly stood up, "Is it really okay?"
“It’s not too difficult”
Nicholas said with a smile, "But you have to find a way to provide supporting power. Whether it is that computer or that telescope, without power supply, they will not be able to use it."
"I'll think of a way!" Ji Ma said through gritted teeth.
Nicholas nodded and continued, "As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. The purpose of that military base is only to guard the astronomical observatory. If you have enough money, you can even buy it."
"Speaking of this, why was it abandoned?" Jima asked curiously.
Nicholas hesitated for a long time and finally shook his head, "I don't know about this, but it probably has nothing to do with the spy equipment you found. If you are interested, you can ask me when you decide to repair the telescope there.
The person you are looking for might know something."
"Can I sell these things?" Jima pointed at the objects on the table eagerly.
"Give me this audio amplifier"
Nicholas reached out and picked up a black box the size of a cigarette box, playing with it, and then said with certainty, "This should be an American product. If it can still be used, it can be used as a hearing aid."
"What about the rest of these?"
"If you're short of money, sell it!"
Nicholas said nonchalantly, "But you can go find Victor with those microfilms first. Maybe there is something captured in them. Sometimes photos are more valuable than other things. In addition, although those movie films
It’s very valuable, but it’s best not to sell it.”
"I understand!" Ji Ma stood up respectfully, "I'm going to find him now!"
Nicholas waved his hand and put the audio amplifier into his pocket, then squinted his eyes until Jima closed the door for him from the outside. Then he immediately sat up and went into the bedroom again with his cell phone to dial the call he just made.
's number.
Jima, who had no idea about this, walked happily to the door of the studio, took out the key given to him by Wei Ran, opened the rolling shutter door, and waited patiently for Professor Alexei and Wei Ran to return.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! More than two hours later, Wei Ran drove that exaggerated off-road vehicle and returned to the studio with the drunk Professor Alexei. This old man
Although the guy has nominally given up drinking, for Suisui's sake, his aunt Zhou Shujin made an exception today and let him have a good drink.
However, after seeing the various objects displayed by Ji Ma, Professor Alexey sobered up instantly, put on his cotton gloves in a very formal manner, picked up the signed photo and asked, "Where did you find it?"
of these things?”
"In an abandoned military base," Jima said while proudly showing off the watch still on his wrist, "I found this together with the photo."
"If you want to sell those so-called spy tools for a big price, you can try to go to Prague, Czech Republic. There are many rich people there who like to collect such things."
Professor Alexei sat down at the long table and continued while burping from wine, "Forget about those commemorative coins, they only commemorate the 20th anniversary of the victory over France, the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution and the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth.
There are only three types of anniversaries.
Although there are a lot of each type and the quality is also very good, they are not complete sets at all, so they cannot be sold for much money. But this photo is different. I am sure that the signature on the back of the photo is genuine.
And most importantly, the astronaut is still alive."
"Are you still alive?" Wei Ran and Jima asked in unison.
"Of course alive!"
Professor Alexey answered affirmatively again without thinking, "He lives in Moscow, but his health is not very good. When I was your age, I heard his live lectures."
"Professor Alexey, how much can this photo be sold for?" Jima was so excited that he almost trembled.
"I can help you ask who is interested." Professor Alexey paused here, and Jima began to nod crazily.
At the same time, Wei Ran, who was sitting next to him, secretly recited in his mind, "But if the transaction is successful, I will charge a 20% introduction fee."
Sure enough, less than two seconds behind him, Professor Alexey said as promised, "But if the transaction is successful, I will charge a 20% introduction fee."
"20%! So much?" Ji Ma, who was still looking grateful a moment ago, immediately widened his eyes.
"This is all for Victor's sake, otherwise at least 30% of the introduction fee will be required."
Professor Alexei once again spoke Wei Ran's innermost thoughts, and then patted his chest and promised, "But you can rest assured that I can definitely sell it for a higher price than the auction price."
Ji Ma glanced at Wei Ran who was sitting on the side staring at the wood grain on the piano case without raising his head, and finally said in pain, "20% is 20%, but if the price is lower than I expected, I won't sell it."
go out!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely sell it at a price that satisfies you."
Before Professor Alexei finished speaking, he had already taken out his mobile phone, pointed the camera at the front and back of the photo still held in his hand, and pressed the shutter button respectively.
"Do you want to sell that watch in your hand?" Professor Alexei asked after returning the photo to Jima.
The latter shook his head decisively, "I won't sell it!"
Professor Alexei smiled strangely, and without saying anything else, he stood up and greeted Wei Ran to take him home.
Chao Jima winked, Wei Ran helped the professor get into the car, stepped on the accelerator and disappeared in a flash.
After waiting for a full hour, when Wei Ran came back, Ji Ma had already drank more than half a bottle of gin, and he even opened the box of snacks Suisui brought him back from China on his own initiative.
I ate a few bags and had a great time.
"Have you asked about that military base?" Wei Ran asked, locking the rolling shutter door.
"Half of the question is clear"
Jima stuffed the red-oiled spicy sticks into his mouth, took a sip of wine, and then briefly recounted the news that Nicholas had received.
"It has nothing to do with the spy?"
Wei Ran muttered to himself and didn't think much about it. Instead, he asked curiously, "From what you just said, do you plan to repair the telescope and computer in that observatory?"
Ji Ma sucked his greasy fingers one by one in disgust, "Then it depends on how much these things can be sold for in the end, and how much it will cost to electrify that damn place, and before your Chinese New Year,
As many tourists as Aurora can bring us, if everything meets the target, I certainly wouldn't mind having electricity connected there."
"I wish you success in your career," Wei Ran said perfunctorily, holding back his nausea, "Are you going to lay the floor in the studio tonight or go to Mr. Nicholas' place to rest?"
"What time is it?"
Jima pointed to the plastic box not far away, "How about helping me try to develop those films? Mr. Nikolai said that there might be some interesting things captured there."
