Chapter 546 The loyal, brave and resourceful Felix?
Over the desert where the temperature dropped sharply, the cold moonlight provided the only illumination. In the shadow of a sand dune, Wei Ran huddled in the warm sand, carefully looking at Fei a hundred meters away with the help of a telescope.
Lix and the survivor Laion who works as a coolie.
Although Wei Yan was quite cold because of his thin clothes, he chose a good position. At this moment, the waning moon was in the night sky behind him, so there was no need to worry about the telescope reflecting any light.
At the same time, the location where he was hiding happened to be shrouded in the shadow of a sand dune, so as long as he did not damage the outline of the dune's waistline, he did not have to worry about being discovered.
In the field of view magnified by the telescope, Felix, who had been walking behind with a gun in hand from beginning to end, also waved to Laon and stopped at the foot of a stone hill that was only ten meters high.
Perhaps due to year-round sand erosion, this low stone mountain now looks like a stunted mushroom, with a slender waist holding a huge head. It seems that as long as another strong wind blows, it will be destroyed.
It's like he's lost his head.
However, at the foot of this hill, there is actually a circle of sparse desert shrubs growing, so that even Wei Ran, who is a hundred or ten meters away, can't help but associate the image of this hill with some kind of ancestral thing.
Together.
Under Wei Ran's prying eyes, and at the same time forced by Felix's weapon, Leon reluctantly dragged the gold placed on the long chair to the foot of the mountain, and dug it out in the soft sand with his bare hands.
There was a trench barely big enough to bury the gold box.
"Felix, we can cooperate." Leon tried to persuade Felix while pushing the box full of gold bricks into the dug trench, "We just need to ask from the navigator's mouth.
..”
"This gold belongs to General Rommel"
Felix didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before he corrected him, "No one has the right to possess them privately. They will be transported back to the country to help us win the war."
With his back to Felix, Leon curled his lips and secretly grabbed a handful of fine sand several times. In the end, because of his timidity, he honestly completed the task of burying the gold box.
"I remember there was a Belgian in your team?" Felix asked Leon as he walked back, "Is he the one who got stuck in the quicksand?"
"no"
Leon reluctantly replied, "The one who fell into the quicksand also seems to be a German. The prospector from Belgium you mentioned is dead. He is the one who killed the two soldiers of yours."
"What's his name?" Felix continued to ask, completely unaware that "the man who had fallen into the quicksand" was hiding in a shadow only a dozen meters away from them.
"Which one?"
Leon asked back, "The person who fell into the quicksand seems to be named Victor. He is also a prospector and was sent to work in the camp just over a month ago."
"Where's the other one?" Felix asked as if chatting, "What's the name of the Belgian who killed two of my soldiers?"
"Louse"
Laon asked with a trace of sarcasm, "What? Are you planning to put his family on trial? I'm afraid you will be disappointed. His family may have been arrested by you long ago."
"That's it." Felix responded in a calm tone, as if he didn't hear the former's sarcasm.
"Captain Felix, can I ask you a few questions?" Leon asked bravely.
"What's the question?" Felix waved his hand kindly, "If it's not an important question, I will answer you."
Hearing this, Laian hesitated for a moment and simply stopped, "We have been working in that camp for at least half a year. Are you planning to kill us when you come to pick us up this time?"
"If I want to kill you, there is no need to waste the precious transport capacity of the transport plane."
While Felix was talking, he actually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Leon, "We are building a transit airport in the heart of the desert and need your help."
"Build a transit airport?" Laon took the cigarette and lighter, "Don't we have an airport?"
"But I heard from the crew that there always seem to be sandstorms blowing near that camp due to the terrain, right?"
Felix simply sat on the upturned chair and motioned for Leon to sit down as well before continuing, "And several transport planes have crashed in the past six months. After the airport is built, it will be possible in the future.
By connecting the transportation between the camp and the airport by car, not only is the safety much higher, but you can also get more timely supplies."
"I hope I can live until that time." Laian shook his head helplessly, obviously not having much hope for this.
"You will survive until then."
Felix patted Leon on the shoulder with rare affection, "Although our plane crashed, as long as we bring the location of these goods back, and as long as your performance satisfies me, you might even get one."
Medal.”
At this time, Laian became more courageous and spoke more freely, "I want a gold brick even more."
"Those gold bricks don't belong to any of us," Felix emphasized seriously.
"You really deserve General Rommel's trust."
"It's time for us to go"
Felix reached out and pulled the cigarette out of Leon's mouth, then stood up and picked up the P38 pistol in his hand again.
Laian curled his lips, picked up the parachute rope again, pulled the long chair and walked back. When the two people walked away, Wei Ran also sat up from the yellow sand where he was hiding.
The brief exchange between the two people just now revealed a lot of key information, a camp that seemed to produce gold, and a transit airport specially built for this camp. If you think about the heavy curtains and eye masks that covered the portholes on the plane, this
Everything made him more and more curious about what kind of secrets were hidden in Felix's heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Follow the footprints back to the vicinity of the emergency landing plane, and Leon has fixed all the remaining five boxes of gold on the chair.
At the same time, Felix also removed another chair, helped the navigator to lie on it, and put all the submachine gun ammunition he had collected into a bag and placed it on the navigator's back.
"Am I following this time?" Morris, the navigator holding a submachine gun in his hand, asked in confusion.
"certainly"
While Felix was speaking, he had already found Rouse's body under Leon's guidance. He took out an ID and a photo from his pocket, put it into his pocket with a natural expression, and then continued,
"You also need to know where the gold is hidden, and I think that as a navigator, you must be able to pinpoint the specific location of the gold better than Leon and I, which can provide important help in retrieving the gold in the future.
"
As he spoke, Felix rummaged through the corpses around him, took away some things that might be useful, and then ordered, "Laion, come here and do me a favor and send all their corpses back."
The cabin."
Leon, who had been pointed at gunpoint by the navigator from beginning to end, put down his hands with a grimace, and together with Felix, returned the bodies that had been lifted out during the day back to the cabin one by one. Felix even closed the slightly deformed cabin.
Door.
Finally, he stuffed a small amount of water and cans into an empty suitcase, put it on a chair and tied it up. Felix threw a water bottle left in advance to Leon, "Save your drink, this is what you are going to do next."
Two days’ worth of water.”
"Aren't we coming back next?" Laian asked belatedly.
"We can walk more while we still have the strength, and it will always be more comfortable at night than during the day."
Felix put the parachute rope on his shoulders in a calm tone, and reminded him blatantly, "Maurice, keep an eye on Leon. Leon, you walk in front."
Hearing this, Leon, who had just opened the kettle and took a sip, quickly tightened the lid and finally asked, "Felix, can I find some warm clothes?"
"I'll give you two minutes." As Felix spoke, he had already taken out his pistol again.
Seeing this, Leon immediately trotted to the pile of suitcases at the cabin door. Under Felix's supervision, he dug out a leather-wrapped wooden box and took out a set of thick
Change into clothes.
"Is this your box?" As Felix spoke, he had already picked up a Zeiss telescope from the box.
"right"
Leon hesitated for a moment, pointed to the telescope in the other person's hand and asked, "Can you give it back to me? It was left to me by my father. He once participated in World War I and was an artillery commander."
Hearing this, Felix happily handed over the telescope in his hand, then bent down and picked up a small mirror only as big as a palm, "Can you give this to me?"
"Of course." Leon quickly took the telescope and hung it around his neck, "The mirror is yours."
"Find a piece of cloth to wrap the lens." Felix picked up a towel, wrapped the mirror in his hand and put it in his arms. "The wind and sand in the desert will stain the lens."
Laian was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out a pair of socks and put them on the two lens barrels.
"Maurice, does the radio on the plane still work?"
While Felix was asking questions, he also dug out a few blankets and pants from other suitcases or bags and handed them to Morris, who was paralyzed.
“It can’t be used”
Morris shook his head, "The radio is broken. It and the pilot and co-pilot are buried in the cockpit now. But before the emergency landing, I had already sent a distress signal."
"In that case, let's set off. Laian, you hold the gold and walk in front of me."
As Felix said that, he actually lit the pile of luggage at the door of the cabin on fire!
"What are you doing!" Laon asked with his eyes widened.
"I haven't done anything, let's go quickly, you walk in front of me." Felix put away the lighter slowly, but did not give a detailed explanation.
Seeing this, Leon picked up the parachute rope angrily, used a chair to pull the remaining five boxes of gold and walked hard.
Felix took out his cigarette case, lit two cigarettes, and put one of them into the mouth of the navigator Morris.
"What are you worried about?" Navigator Morris took the cigarette and asked after taking a sip.
"You'll find out later"
While Felix responded in a low voice, he bent down to pick up the parachute rope connected to the chair and put it on his shoulders. He dragged the paralyzed navigator Maurice and all the supplies for the three people and walked behind Leon.
Watching the three of them walk away, Wei Ran, who had been lying on the top of the dune holding back the cold, did not move, but still looked at the direction in which they disappeared with his binoculars.
A moment later, a black shadow climbed over the sand dune from the other direction and cautiously came up.
"I knew you were fishing..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself. He had already been more vigilant when Felix set fire to the luggage. Now it seems that he made the right choice by not rushing over to pick up clothes to keep out the cold!
At the same time, Felix's overly cautious attitude also made him postpone the idea of meeting and negotiating with the other party and working together to escape from the desert.
Next to the wreckage of the transport plane, Felix turned on the flashlight and carefully checked the sand around the campfire. Seeing that there were no more footprints, he continued to shine the beam of the flashlight around until he couldn't find anything, then he started again.
Heading in the direction of Leon and Maurice.
He continued to wait patiently for nearly half an hour, until the three of them had completely disappeared from the field of view of the telescope. Wei Ran, who was almost frozen, stood up immediately, and started trotting all the way without thinking of shaking off the cold sand.
Rushed towards the wreckage of the transport plane.
