Eric pointed to Leo sitting next to him, "My cousin knows about a treasure buried by the Germans, but he can't find the specific location."
"What treasure?" Professor Jonas and Wei Ran were all aroused curiosity.
Hearing this, Eric turned around and exchanged a few words with Leo, who reluctantly took out a silver cigarette case from his pocket and threw it to Eric.
The latter took the cigarette box, first took out a few cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and then took out a very familiar photo of Wei Ran.
"My cousin found this in an abandoned mine when he first started working."
Eric explained in detail while Professor Jonas was looking at the photo, "At that time, he found a long-decomposed body in the mine, and also found a camera and some film near the body. This photo
It was developed from the films found. Leo suspected that it was gold buried by the Germans."
"Where was this found?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask, and Jonas next to him also pricked up his ears.
Eric spread his hands helplessly, "In addition to showing off this photo often, he never said where he found it."
"I hope he can find these golds." Jonas handed the photo to Wei Ran, who waved his hand simply and returned it to Eric.
Putting the photo back into the cigarette case and handing it to Leo, who was still wiping his weapon, everyone's conversation once again returned to the Equator 2 weather station they had been looking for.
Unfortunately, just as Leo refused to reveal where he found the photo, Jonas clearly didn't want to reveal how he found the weather station.
During the chat, everyone drank a pot of coffee, and after their bodies had completely warmed up, Leo also began to prepare meals for everyone.
After Jonas promised to give him a gasoline pie stove after the expedition, everyone had a particularly sumptuous first meal on Bear Island.
From the very Norwegian Soder mutton soup and mutton stewed cabbage, to the smoked pickled herring that made the three of them frown, to the potato wine that Eric called Norwegian blood, in short, after eating this meal, everyone
Everyone was full of praise for Leo's cooking skills, and at the same time they also ordered that the pickled herring should not be taken out to affect their appetite next time.
As for Leo, while enjoying the praise of his cooking skills, he also sneered at everyone's requests. Although the pickled herring he ate was not the sensational canned Swedish herring of later generations, the strange smell lingered in the steaming tent.
After genetic mutation, it is definitely no better.
After filling their stomachs, everyone decided to take a nap first at Leo's request. According to him, there will be a short period of dawn in about five or six hours. Instead of searching in the dark now, it is better to take a nap first to recuperate.
Be energetic and wait until daybreak to continue looking for clues.
After all, Leo was their guide on this trip. Professor Jonas and Eric had no objections, and Wei Ran naturally had no objections either.
After a brief discussion between the four of them, Jonas chose to live in the same tent with Eric on the pretext that he couldn't stand Wei Ran's snoring. However, Wei Ran could see clearly that the cautious professor made it clear whether
Hopefully Eric has some private communication with his cousin that he doesn't know about.
However, Leo seemed not to notice. He enthusiastically got into another tent with the gas stove, lit the gasoline stove to warm up the tent, set the alarm clock and placed it on the sleigh in the center of the tent, and then lay down
On top of the furry bearskin blanket, I covered my head with an equally furry reindeer skin, and soon I was snoring.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also took out a sleeping bag from his backpack and spread it on his reindeer skin blanket. After getting in, he covered himself with an extra blanket.
In the middle of the two tents, after filling their bellies, the four reindeer huddled on their mats and buried their mouths into the warm thighs.
When the crisp sound of the alarm clock woke up Wei Ran from his deep sleep, outside the circular vent in the center of the tent roof, the sky had turned gray, and Leo, who was on the other side of the sleigh, was already stretching and crawling.
Got up.
He greeted Wei Ran enthusiastically. After realizing that the latter could not understand what he was talking about, Leo pointed to the outside of the tent, said "Eric" in his mouth, and turned around to get out of the warmth.
tent.
By the time Wei Ran put on his clothes and chased him out, Leo and Eric were already dismantling another tent.
"Victor, Leo just discussed it with me."
Eric stopped what he was doing and said, "How about we accompany Professor Jonas to find the weather station later, and you will be responsible for staying at the camp?"
"Aren't you changing positions?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"No need to change now"
Professor Jonas took over and said, "Leo said that this is almost the center of Bear Island. No matter where the weather station is, it is only less than ten kilometers away from here. Leave the supplies here, and the reindeer can
The easier you run, the faster you can run."
"We'll be back after dark"
Eric said with an envious look, "You can just prepare some food and drinks for us in advance. To be honest, if I didn't need to be a translator, I would have stayed."
Seeing that the three people had already made their decision, Wei Ran looked at Professor Jonas doubtfully, and then agreed.
Watching the three people riding the reindeer cart farther and farther away, Wei Ran frowned. A few hours ago, Professor Jonas was secretly guarding Eric and his cousin. When he woke up,
, why did you leave yourself behind?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Ran took advantage of this rare opportunity to try to take the paizi boat out of the metal book. Unfortunately, the paizi boat was also temporarily detained.
In desperation, Wei Ran simply got into the tent and lay down again on the reindeer skin blanket that was still warm. While staring at the sky above his head, he thought about the photo he saw in Leo's cigarette case yesterday.

surge.
Wei Ran, who had regained his energy, saw that time was almost up, so he got up, lit a kerosene lamp and placed it on the top of a big rock not far away as a beacon. Then he made some random food and drink, and put it on
I added some water to the leftover mutton soup and continued to cook it.
Although meals were prepared on his side, it took another four or five hours after dark before the sled driven by Leo ran back from the southeast with a kerosene lamp attached.
"Have you found it?" Wei Ran asked after the three tired-looking people got off the sleigh.
"No." Professor Jonas shook his head. "The snow in this damn place is too thick. It's not that easy to find a weather station left over 40 years ago."
"And we almost fell into a rock crevice," Eric said with lingering fear.
"Leo was lucky, he shot two beautiful Arctic foxes."
Professor Jonas changed the topic in a timely manner, and Leo, who was untying the reindeer, heard the other party seem to mention his name, and immediately pointed proudly to the two white fox carcasses hanging on the side of the sleigh.
.
Seeing that Professor Jonas didn't want to talk anymore, Wei Ran didn't ask any further questions. After helping Leo and Eric set up the tent again, he immediately greeted them to eat.
However, the dinner he cooked up at random was naturally not as good as Leo's cooking skills. Fortunately, there was no pickled herring this time, so there was nothing left, and it was all eaten.
They searched like this day after day for four whole days. When they ushered in the fifth day, Jonas without any warning signaled that Weiran should follow this time and bring all the supplies with him.
.
"Professor, have you found the location?" Eric asked in surprise.
Professor Jonas nodded, put on an uncertain expression and said, "I thought about it carefully last night, and I still think that the valley we went to two days ago is the most consistent description of the location of Equator 2 Weather Station.
place, so I think it’s better to go there together and look for it more focused.”
This old fox...
Wei Ran cursed secretly. He was almost certain that Professor Jonas must have found the weather station a long time ago. In the remaining days, he must have been circling the weather station to observe the surrounding environment.
However, Eric obviously didn't think of this. He just excitedly called his cousin Leo to help Wei Ran pack up the camp and load everything into the sleigh.
Under the leadership of Leo, the two sleighs advanced slowly and leisurely on the thick snow, and before dark, they passed through a 50-60 meter long mountain col and drove into an area surrounded by surrounding stone mountains.
An oval valley with a diameter of one kilometer.
When the two sleighs stopped, Professor Jonas raised his finger and pointed to a vaguely visible mountain peak in the northeast and said, "That is the highest peak of Bear Island. According to the diary records left by my father, there was once a building on the top of that mountain.
There was a radio signal relay tower. Before they evacuated, they dismantled that tower and pushed it into the sea."
"Where's the weather station?" Eric asked impatiently.
Professor Jonas turned around and pointed to another much shorter hill about a kilometer away and said, "According to the diary, the weather station is in a valley around the highest point of Bear Island, northwest of that valley.
About a kilometer away, they built a small signal tower on another mountain."
