On the second floor of the sentry tower, the flickering bonfire patiently licked the bottom of the stainless steel pot. The melted snow water in the pot gradually filled with pale white mist, and at the same time, this small space, which was not too big, gradually became warmer.
.
While Ji Ma was cutting the venison with a not-so-sharp axe, Wei Ran took out some flour, briefly stirred it with water, poured it into a small pot, and made a large pot of thick pimple soup.
Although the only seasoning they have is some salt, in this freezing cold weather, if you can drink hot soup and eat sizzling roast venison, what else can you not be satisfied with?
Sufficient protein and carbohydrates easily filled the stomachs of the two of them. After eating and drinking, Ji Ma directly took down the few animal skins hanging from the ceiling, picked up the ones that looked still usable, and spread them on the cement floor.
.
The two of them each took a piece of parachute cloth and spread it on the already rotten animal skin. Then they covered themselves with the canvas tent and then lay down with their clothes on.
When they woke up again, the sun outside the sentry tower was almost at its highest point. They added some fuel to the bonfire and got some food, and then picked out some burnt charcoal and ashes from the edge of the bonfire.
Together with the small stainless steel pot, they were all loaded into the sleigh.
After checking to make sure that nothing was missing, Ji Ma climbed up to the roof and threw a piece of deer leg with a lot of meat out far away. After waiting for more than ten minutes and seeing that there was still no movement outside, he looked towards the building.
Wei Ran, who was waiting on the first floor, shouted, "You can open the door now. There should be no wolves outside."
After receiving the news, Wei Ran moved the sleigh blocking the road, opened the rusty iron door, and walked out with an AK rifle. Ji Ma, who came down from upstairs, followed closely, pulling the refilled
The sleigh chased him.
Under Ji Ma's guidance, soon after Wei Ran walked into the forest, he saw a series of more than a dozen overturned mine carts. Most of these mine carts had been buried under the snow and only half of their outlines were left, but one of them
The car was parked just under the pine tree, but you could already see it clearly.
Apart from these minecarts, the most conspicuous thing is the black wooden telephone poles coated with anti-corrosion paint. Under the ravages of time, most of these telephone poles have been broken or crooked, but the remaining wires on them seem to be the most conspicuous.
Like a signpost, they successfully found two well-hidden four-story concrete buildings deep in the dense coniferous forest, as well as a three-story small building a little further away.
These three buildings are without exception. The first floor is filled with more than a dozen concrete load-bearing columns that are half a meter square. Starting from the second floor, the windows on each floor are also pitifully small. However, these three buildings occupy an area of
The area of the area is larger than the last, at least two thousand square meters. If the pine trees around them were not too tall, and if it were not too far away from the sentry tower where they lived last night, Wei Ran would have been able to see them at a glance.
Carefully walking around behind these three buildings that were almost side by side, Wei Ran and Jima belatedly discovered that behind these three buildings, there were still a large number of buildings that had already collapsed or even been buried under the snow. Only half of them were left.
A silhouette of a wooden house. At the other end of this group of wooden houses, in addition to the same four-story building, there is also an extremely conspicuous huge mine.
"What was this place used to do?" Jima couldn't help but asked curiously, "Could it be another gold mine?"
"Are you crazy about gold?"
Wei Ran looked up at the roof of the building, "Including the one with only three floors, there are only four buildings here in total. Let's look for them one by one!"
"How about starting with the three-story one?"
Jima said without thinking. Obviously, his purpose was not to find the American flag that Dalia had hidden on the roof of the building in advance, but to see what kind of money he could get from here.
"Let's go!"
Wei Ran simply turned around and walked towards the building in the middle. He came all the way here because he also wanted to see if there were any valuable treasures left here.
However, what disappointed them was that this three-story building was just a thermal power plant. Apart from an outdated small thermal power plant and some remaining coking coal, there was nothing of value in it.
But at the same time, they also learned from a slogan posted on the wall that the name here was "No. 27 Coking Coal Mine."
After learning that this place was just a coal mine, Jima's interest immediately evaporated. Looking at the two hundred kilometers around Inta, the most common ones are coal mines and natural gas mines, which he had seen enough for a long time ago.
Weiran, on the other hand, was still very interested. He even took out a Rolleiflex camera in a metal book and took a photo of the power generation equipment in the building and the Soviet-era slogans hanging above it.
"Why are you still carrying a camera? Isn't it too heavy?" Jima said in disgust.
"It's just a camera. Besides, you don't need to carry it on your back." As Wei Ran spoke, he put the camera into his backpack as a cover and put it back into the metal book.
"Which building should we go to next?" Ji Ma stood on the steps at the door and pointed to the left and right, "Choose one of the two and see how lucky you are."
"The one on the left!" Wei Ran said casually.
Ji Ma naturally had no objection. The two of them each carried rifles and walked towards the building on the left. However, before they could step onto the steps leading to the second floor, Wei Ran and Ji Ma both stopped and frowned.
He frowned at the intricate footprints on the steps.
"It's a wolf," Ji Ma said with certainty.
"Have you brought the grenade?" Wei Ran had already opened the safety of the rifle as he spoke.
"I've got it," Jima responded, reaching for a grenade from his chest pocket and weighing it, "Now I just hope there aren't too many wolves in this building."
"Let's go" Wei Ran started walking again and was the first to walk up the steps.
When they walked onto the second floor platform, they immediately saw a large number of animal bones and piles of feces scattered on the snow that was almost flattened by claw marks.
What made them somewhat relieved was that the iron door of this building was still tightly locked, and most of the glass on the windows on both sides of the door was intact. Even if there were cracks on a few pieces of glass, they were still old.
Stay in the original position honestly.
At Wei Ran's signal, Ji Ma pulled out the ax from his waist and easily broke open the padlock on the iron door that was as big as a cigarette box.
Walking into the door cautiously, in addition to the ice and snow accumulated next to the crack of the door, a large number of Comrade Stalin's faces and various Soviet-flavored propaganda slogans were hung in the dark corridor.
Even on the cement floor, there are a large number of magazines, newspapers, books and even worn-out military uniforms, boots and even bullets covered with rust!
Wei Ran gently pushed open a wooden door that was ajar. There were more than a dozen iron frame beds in this room. The green iron cabinet near the door had been pushed over, and some worthless sundries were scattered all over the floor. The two of them
They looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they each took charge of one side of the corridor and began to search for interesting things from room to room.
However, to their disappointment, they climbed from the first floor to the top floor and finally to the roof. Except for the side of the third floor facing the wooden houses, they found that the windows of many rooms had been transformed into shooting holes, and the floors
Apart from a large number of heavy machine gun bullet casings scattered on the ground, there was no valuable harvest at all.
Looking meaningfully at the collapsed wooden houses downstairs, Wei Ran took the initiative and said, "Go and have a look in the building next to it!"
Ji Ma, who was also looking forward to discovering something, naturally would not refuse. He was the first to turn around and walk downstairs, heading straight for the second building which was only a few dozen meters away.
It is almost the same as the previous building. Although there is no damage on the outside and the door is locked tightly, the inside is still in a mess. Even on the third floor, the windows of several rooms have been replaced by shooting holes, and the floor
The thick layer of heavy machine gun bullet casings on the ground is enough to prove that long-lasting shooting activities have been carried out here.
"There is no American flag on the roof of this building either."
Jima climbed down on the steel ladder on the wall, "It seems we have to go through the group of wooden houses to look for the innermost building."
"Jima, who do you think those people who shot on the third floor of these two buildings were targeting?"
Faced with Wei Ran's knowing question, Ji Ma blurted out without thinking, "Who else could it be? It can't be the wolves, right?"
The conversation ended abruptly. The two of them silently pulled the sleigh through the ruins of wooden houses on the huge battlefield, and carefully walked up to the second floor platform of the building next to the mine entrance with guns in hand.
.
To their surprise, the padlock used on the door of this building looked particularly young. Wei Ran could even tell from the familiar nameplate on the lock that the lock should be made in China.
After all, after studying at Hongqi Forest Farm for so long, this slight difference immediately caught the attention of the two of them. Ji Ma raised his finger and pointed behind him, and Wei Ran immediately leaned his back against the wall on the side of the gate, raising his gun and observing vigilantly.
The surrounding situation. The former raised his ax again and smashed open the lock.
As the rusty iron door was opened, a clear sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from inside at the same time. Then the two of them heard a deafening bang, and a person flashed past the half-open door.
The bright light instantly blinded them.
"grass!"
Wei Ran sat on the snow at the door. For a moment, his eyes were filled with white flowers, and his ears were buzzing.
"Shock bomb! It must be that lunatic Dalia!" Ji Ma yelled at the top of his lungs. Unfortunately, Wei Ran not only couldn't hear him, but couldn't even see his mouth shape for the time being. He only focused on picking out his ears.
The two of them waited for a long time, and then their sight gradually recovered. Wei Ran cursed at the top of his lungs. Seeing Jima next to him with a confused look on his face, he stretched out his hand and wrote Teacher Dalia's name on the snow.
Ji Ma nodded fiercely, stood up unsteadily, stomped the name Wei Ran had just written, and then spat thick phlegm out of resentment.
When Wei Ranye got up, Ji Ma learned a lot this time and carefully put his head into the half-open iron door. Then he took a step back as if he was startled, and then put his head in again.
Carefully unhooked a smoke bomb.
"It seems that the American flag we are looking for should be in this building." Wei Ran waited for Ji Ma to push the door open completely before shouting at the top of his lungs.
"But that lunatic Dalia obviously doesn't want us to get that flag so easily." Jima responded in the same voice.
The two of them communicated hoarsely like old men with poor hearing. They also greeted Dalia's family and then cautiously entered the door.
The scene in this building is not much different from the previous two buildings. The only thing that is different is the two particularly uncoordinated roll-ups in the lobby on the first floor.
The photos on these two roll-ups are precisely the high-definition photos taken when Weiran and Jima were deceived in Ulyanovsk. There is also a wire hanging between the two roll-ups.
There is an A4 piece of paper hanging above, with several room numbers briefly written on it, and the sentence "Use blasting to open the door to the above room, and take photos before and after blasting. Detonating a smoke bomb is equivalent to mission failure."
"Fortunately, there are only four rooms in total." Ji Ma said happily, "One room per floor, it seems it shouldn't be too difficult."
“Don’t speak too early”
Wei Ran walked to the stairs leading to the second floor, pointed to the remaining grenade ring on it and said, "The shock bomb just now should have been hung here. Fortunately, it is far away, and fortunately we haven't gone in yet, otherwise this
It’s probably hard to stand up at that time.”
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Jima's forehead, "Do you mean..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Ran removed the metal wire connected to the pull ring and asked, "Do you think Dalia dared to play with us with shock bombs? She would mind doing a few more small ones."
A trap?”
Jima opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "How about we just blow up this place?"
"Follow the rules of the game," Wei Ran thought for a moment and said, "Go and pull the sleigh in."
After Ji Ma heard this, he immediately ran out of the hall and pulled in the sleigh filled with supplies.
"First, room 109 on the first floor." Wei Ran looked around, then cautiously walked towards the corridor on the left.
With the reminder of the previous shock bomb, he was extremely careful in his steps. Occasionally when he encountered a pile of old clothes, he would avoid it vigilantly and alert Ji Ma behind him.
His caution soon paid off. At the door of Room 109 on the first floor, Wei Ran found a tight fishing line under a dusty wool blanket.
Following the fishing line, he finally found a can of high-pressure anti-wolf spray and a cannon of high-pressure anti-wolf spray wrapped with tape in the gap between a collapsed cabinet and the wall.
This big firecracker is almost as big as anti-wolf spray. There are several matches fixed at the twist of the cannon. As for the fishing line, it is connected to the friction plate tightly wrapped around the match head.
There is no doubt that if you accidentally step on that inconspicuous fishing line, this scary firecracker will be ignited in an instant, and the power of its explosion is enough to explode that can of high-pressure anti-wolf spray.
Just imagining the consequences of the can of anti-wolf spray exploding, Wei Ran and Ji Ma couldn't help but shudder.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran unfastened his belt without saying a word and peed on the cannon of the big firecracker, easily solving this potentially dangerous danger in an eye-catching way.
"Victor, what do you think is under that wool blanket?" Ji Ma asked curiously, "Isn't there also a can of anti-wolf spray and a big firecracker there?"
Wei Ran buckled his belt, walked to the wool blanket and squatted down. After hesitating for a moment, he finally did not open it. "No matter what is underneath, go ahead and prepare explosives. It's just a wooden door, so it doesn't need to be too powerful."
"I'll do it!" Ji Ma took over the job without hesitation.
Naturally, Wei Ran and Ji Ma would not fight over this kind of thing. The two of them followed their footsteps back to the lobby on the first floor. Ji Ma immediately untied the sleigh wrapped in deerskin, took out some common small things and mixed them with it.
The newspaper I picked up casually contained a square packet of explosives.
Hanging the explosive package on the door handle of Room 109, Jima waited for Wei Ran to take the photo and hide, then immediately aimed at the paper package and pulled the trigger.
The crisp gunshot was followed by a dull explosion and a large amount of smoke. Even the wool blanket at the door was lifted by the shock wave, revealing a mousetrap the size of a bowl.
The two of them covered their noses with their sleeves, and when they walked to the door of Room 109 again, the wooden door produced in the Soviet era had been turned into pieces in the explosion, revealing the neatly arranged tables and chairs inside.
What surprised them both was that behind the desk farthest from the door, on the solid wood bookshelf, there was a bottle of whiskey and two large bright flashlights. And beside these three things
Above, there is also a conspicuous handwritten card with a simple word "PRIZE" on it.
"Fortunately, we have just controlled the dosage," Ji Ma said proudly, "If we had added more raw materials, maybe this bottle of wine would be gone."
"You'd better be careful before you go in." Wei Ran pulled Ji Ma and pointed at the dusty room, "There might be a smoke bomb hidden in here."
Hearing this, Jimagan quickly retracted the feet he had just raised, and lay on the ground with his butt sticking out. He held up a headlight and observed carefully, and then said with lingering fear, "It's really there, just behind the desk and her."
There seems to be a thin wire in the middle of the chair. Victor, how about you let me do it this time?"
"Be careful," Wei Ran whispered.
Ji Ma didn't even get up, and almost knelt down to the edge where he was doing his work. He carefully looked in and after some observation, he carefully opened a drawer of the desk and took out a smoke bomb and a
Large bottle of kerosene.
After eliminating this danger, Ji Ma slowly stood up, took away the two strong flashlights from the bookshelf, then picked up the bottle of whiskey that looked expensive, unscrewed the cap and slammed it
He took a sip, and then walked back and asked, "Victor, do you want a sip?"
“Let’s wait for a while to drink.”
Wei Ran took the flashlight handed to him and said, "Let us finish the other rooms and then find a place to have a good drink."
"Then let me take one last sip!"
Ji Ma couldn't help but raise the wine bottle again, took a big gulp, and then reluctantly tightened the bottle cap, "The rest will wait until dinner time. Now let's take a look at the room upstairs."
What’s the reward!”
"Let's go!" Wei Ran picked up the large bottle of kerosene on the table and followed Jima out of the room.
The two carefully climbed up the stairs to the second floor. After some searching, they finally found the target room at the end of the corridor. Along the way, they also picked up two smoke bombs hidden in various garbage and a mon50 anti-infantry directional weapon.
thunder!
This amazing Willy directional mine is placed in the drawer of a small cabinet in the corridor, and its mixing line is at the corner of the corridor and the stairwell. Even the height of this mixing line from the floor is only less than
Only five centimeters.
However, after Wei Ran and Ji Ma worked together to eliminate this deadly anti-infantry directional mine, they discovered that although this directional mine that scared them into cold sweat had a detonator, it was as light as in the Hongqi Forest Farm.
The ones I touched were much different.
Carefully prying open the back cover, they discovered that there were no explosives inside at all. Instead, there was a pack of spicy strips and a pack of chicken feet with pickled peppers. There was no need to guess. It must have been Dalia, that crazy woman, who had left the defense in advance.
Borrowed from Ran's bag.
"There is wine and appetizers. Teacher Dalia is really an angel!"
While Ji Ma was speaking, he had quickly picked up these two packs of precious snacks and stuffed them into his pockets. "We will eat them after we finish our work. It would be a waste to eat them now."
"It would be great if it were a real directional mine."
Weiran regretfully removed the detonator from the directional mine, and then threw the plastic case aside. This type of directional mine contains a full 700 grams of high explosives. As long as it is used properly, it is enough to
The building below me was blasted last time.
"I'd rather it be fake"
Ji Ma stood up and looked at the door next to him, lowering his voice and encouraging, "This is room 216. Why don't we go in first and see what prizes there are before we blow it up?"
"Do you think Teacher Dalia will forget to guard against us?" Wei Ran said angrily, "Stop wasting time, do it quickly!"
After hearing this, Ji Ma immediately took out a paper bag from his bag and hung it on the door handle in the same trick. After Wei Ran took the photo, he immediately hid in the stairwell, pointed at the paper bag and pulled the trigger again.
However, after the first dull explosion, there was another deafening bang in room 216!
Wei Ran and Ji Mahou, who had blocked their ears with their fingers in advance, looked at each other in fear. There was no doubt that what had just exploded was another shock bomb!
"That fat woman is simply crazy!" Jima cursed and stood up, and was the first to go to the room shrouded in smoke and dust.
When they entered the room, they immediately found that it was empty. There was nothing at all except a grenade ring still hanging on the window handle with wire and a blown-up TV set near the door.
"Let's go to the third floor." Wei Ran decisively turned around and returned to the stairwell. With the help of a bright flashlight, he carefully climbed up to the third floor.
Different from the previous two floors, the windows at both ends of the corridor on the third floor are all tightly sealed, and the 20 or so rooms on both sides of the corridor are all locked. Even the corridor itself is cleaned extremely clean, and those facing the stairs
There is also an A4 paper attached to the room, and it is clearly written on it that they are required to use explosions to open the doors of all rooms, and then they can get the reward of Room 301.
Wei Ran shook his head, "Don't think about it, prepare for a dust explosion!"
"Use them all?" asked Ji Ma, who was following behind.
"Use it all. Pass me the ax and go get the flour."
After Ji Ma heard this, he immediately turned around and went downstairs, while Wei Ran picked up his ax and opened a gap as big as a bowl in the boarded-up corridor window.
Stepping to the other end of the corridor, he swung the ax again and removed all the wooden boards sealing the windows.
After a simple test of the wind direction, when he was sure that the wind was indeed blowing from the other end, he immediately went downstairs to move some wooden tables and chairs, poured some kerosene obtained on the first floor, and placed them on the downdraft outlet near the window.
Made a bonfire.
Before he could finish his work, Ji Ma had already brought out all the flour.
"Go upstairs first." Wei Ran stopped Ji Ma who was about to tear open the flour bag, "Let's see what other requirements are upstairs first."
Ji Ma naturally had no objection, and happily put down the flour bag, and followed Wei Ran to the fourth floor. The windows on this floor were not blocked, and there was even a large hall facing the stairs, and in
The rooms on both sides are also larger than the other. But without exception, these rooms all have iron doors, and the corridors are also extremely clean like the third floor, with only a layer of dust.
"Room 5, this is it."
Jima walked to the door of the room farthest from the stairwell and gently knocked on the dusty wooden door with the muzzle of his gun. "It looks like a utility room."
"Don't worry about what it is, just blow it up!" Wei Ran urged, "After blowing this up, let's go to the third floor to take a look."
Jima nodded, took out a paper bag from his bag and hung it on the door handle.
However, this explosion far exceeded their expectations. Just after the explosive package made by Ji Ma was detonated, although the door of the room was blown open, a stream of water spewed out from inside and sprayed directly onto the opposite wall.
The fire snake!
Jima poked half of his head out of the stairwell and said dully, "The Emperor testifies that I didn't put much fertilizer into that paper bag..."
"It has nothing to do with you, come downstairs quickly! We must blow up this building before the fire starts!" Wei Ran was the first to come to his senses, and Saya ran downstairs.
Where is this place? This is deep in the virgin forest close to the Arctic Circle, and there is a coal mine next to it. Although the probability is not necessarily high, if the fire really spreads from the building to the outside, the two of them will be killed, let alone shot.
Even if it breaks, it won’t be enough to compensate! And the most important thing is, look at the almost constant explosions in the utility room. How many flammable and explosive things are there that are not kept intact!
"The American flag, we have to take that flag back!" Jima reminded as he followed.
"Give me the grenade and go get the flag from the roof!"
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ma immediately took out the grenade he had kept in his pocket and handed it to Wei Ran. Then with the help of the former, he grabbed the ladder leading to the roof from the wall of the stairwell and climbed up quickly.
Seeing that Ji Ma had entered the roof of the building, Wei Ran immediately ran to the third floor. After confirming that the bonfire at one end of the corridor was still burning, he hurriedly took a photo with his camera, and then immediately blocked the other end with a pair of pants he picked up.
The hole that had just been cut in the upwind window was finally torn open and the flour bag was quickly sprinkled on the corridor.
"Hopefully it will explode"
Wei Ran, who hid back in the stairwell, muttered to himself, took out the grenade tab, and threw it in the direction of the windward vent with all his strength. Then, before the grenade exploded, he rolled and crawled down the stairwell to the second floor.
