On the top of the cab of the DT-30 transport truck, Wei Ran, who was wrapped in a wolf skin blanket, sat cross-legged on another wolf skin blanket, holding an AK rifle in his arms, leaning against a metal fence wrapped in canvas, looking at him silently.
The area around the transport vehicle illuminated by halogen headlights.
From time to time, he would stand up, walk to the back of the car on the roof, and observe the sampling work of the four students from a high position.
Gradually, he also saw that among the four students, Taras from Moscow and the bald Agravan from Latvia seemed to be in a leadership position. The two of them were mainly responsible for drilling.
The core pillars that came out were sampled, and then they each used a microscope to conduct preliminary observations, and then decided whether to throw those core pillars outside the tent or lock them in those metal drawers.
The remaining two students, Sharip and Gennady, were responsible for more physical tasks such as operating the sampling machine.
But even so, Wei Ran could tell from their words that both young men seemed to enjoy this job, which actually had no technical content.
After inspecting the surrounding environment again, Wei Ran thought for a moment before climbing onto the roof of the car and getting into the warm living cabin.
Compared to the four young people outside braving the wind and snow, Dr. Murat and Dr. Pavel were much more comfortable. At this time, they each occupied a table and were operating what looked like a laptop.
What a strange device. Next to this device, there is actually a mechanical typewriter that should be outdated.
Seeing the two doctors staring at him warily, and even Dr. Murat already putting his hand on the revolver next to the typewriter, Wei Ran quickly raised his hands and said, "I just want to go to my bed."
Get something."
"Soldier, put your gun outside and come in quickly." Dr. Pavel, who was covered in tendon meat, said casually.
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly hung the rifle on the handle outside the door, then got into the living cabin and closed the door.
When he turned around again, the two doctors had already buckled up the white portable devices on the table. Murat even lowered his hand under the table. At the same time, the revolver on the table had disappeared.
.
On the contrary, Dr. Pavel stood up with a smile, picked up the coffee pot next to the table, and poured Wei Ran a cup of warm coffee.
"Thanks"
Wei Ran took the coffee and drank it in one gulp, then walked to his bed, pulled out the wooden box from under the bed, and took out the camera from the box.
"Do you need me to take a photo of each of you?" Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand and said sincerely, "I will avoid the screen."
"Take a picture of me!" Pavel said enthusiastically, "Wait a minute, I need to change into decent clothes."
"I have enough time"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already retreated to the edge of the stove, opened the lid with a hook, and slowly threw a few pieces of firewood inside.
After a moment of waiting, Pavel put on a silver-white suit, sat down at the table, and then gently opened the screen of the device, allowing Wei Ran to see the "
PC-16".
"It's time to start." As Pavel spoke, he also put on a pair of glasses.
Upon seeing this, Wei Ran, who had already adjusted his camera, immediately pointed it at Pavel from the side at a 45-degree angle, and motioned to Pavel to put his hands on the keyboard and straighten his waist before pressing the shutter.
"Murat, come and take a picture too!"
Pavel said as he took off his suit, "Your wife and daughter must really need a photo of you."
Hearing this, Murat hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and put the pistol on the table blatantly, "Then let's take a picture."
"Do you need to change clothes?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"No, just like this." Although Murat said this, he still stretched out his tie and collar.
Seeing this, Wei Ran did not insist and also took a work photo of the other party from the side.
Putting away the camera, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, then walked towards the cabin door and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. If there is anything you need from me, just shine the flashlight outside the window."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Ran had already closed the thick hatch with insulation from the outside of the living cabin.
After looking left and right, Wei Yan first moved closer to the sampling equipment and took a close-up of each of Sharip and Gennady amid the rumbling noise.
These two young men were almost the easiest to deal with among the seven, and they even made faces when they noticed that Wei Ran was pointing the camera at them.
After taking an additional more serious working photo of each of them and a group photo of the two holding the sampling equipment, Wei Ran stepped on the soft snow to get to the tent with the coking coal stove.
"Can I take a photo of each of you?" Wei Ran asked as he stood outside the tent door. Even though there was a coking coal stove burning in the tent, the temperature was not much warmer than outside.
"sure!"
The bald Agrawan was the first to respond, "But you have to wait a little while, we have to complete our work before the wind and snow contaminate the samples."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Wei Ran said with a smile.
After waiting for a moment, the two people wrote a few words on the folder next to them, then put the core sample that had just been delivered into the metal drawer, locked it, and sent it to the tent next door.
After taking a working photo of the two of them operating a microscope and a silly photo of each holding a metal drawer, Wei Ran took out a bottle of vodka from his arms and handed it to them, "Keep warm.
, remember to leave some for Sharip and the others."
"Victor, you are such a good person!"
Taras took the wine bottle, opened it, pulled off the frost-covered mask, and took a swig.
"Give me a bite too"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Agravan grabbed the bottle and took a sip, belched and said comfortably, "This vodka is like a prisoner in a correctional camp."
It feels like being forgiven."
"If your teacher discovers it, you'd better say it was stolen from the cab." Wei Ran joked half-seriously and turned towards the front of the car.
Climbing up to the roof of the car again along the cab's skylight, Wei Ran wrapped the wolfskin blanket tightly again, leaned against the canvas-wrapped railing, and looked at the surrounding situation boredly.
I don't know how long it took, but just when he felt his eyelids starting to fight, two crisp gunshots were suddenly heard from the forest they had passed by in the direction of the car.
As soon as the sound of the gunshot reached his ears, Wei Ran woke up instantly and immediately looked in the direction of the gunshot.
Unfortunately, although the row of halogen headlights on the roof of the cab, which is as big as a bowl of ocean, is bright enough, due to the angle of the front of the car, it can only illuminate a distance of less than 100 meters directly ahead.
Wei Ran got into the cab as quickly as possible, and after searching in the row of glove boxes above the windshield, he finally found a dirty telescope. He had seen this thing used by Abo on the road.
, I’m just not sure if he took it away just now.
Looking through the telescope in the direction of the gunfire, although there was only a beating light beam in the field of vision, fortunately, the light beam kept moving, and there was no more gunfire.
After waiting quietly for more than half an hour, April, who was dragging an oil drum sled, gradually appeared within the range illuminated by the car lights.
At this time, the oil drum was filled with cut firewood, and a spread wolf skin was placed on top.
"I was lucky enough to meet a lone wolf."
Apolly greeted Wei Ran on the roof of the car cheerfully, "And I also found the carcass of a reindeer in that forest. Maybe the next time I go there, more animals will be caught in the trap.
The wolf."
He aimed at Apolly, who was waving towards him, and clicked the shutter. Wei Ran then responded with a smile, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Follow this!"
As Apolly spoke, he had already thrown up a piece of frozen wolf skin, "Put it to dry on the railing near the radiator grille, and remember to tie it tightly with wire."
"Leave it to me!" Wei Ran hurriedly stepped on the piece of wolf skin thrown up and tied it to the railing on the roof of the car.
"After you're done, go back and rest!"
The bald Agrawan stood at the door of the tent and greeted, "The first sampling point has been completed. Now as long as we don't lift the drill, we don't have to worry about our equipment being blown away by the wind, so we can rest."
"Looks like I'm back at the right time."
Apolly laughed and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make you something to eat."
"Just a bowl of hot broth is enough." Taras also walked out of the tent holding a microscope. "Of course, it's best to have a glass of vodka."
“Nothing wrong with any of this”
As he spoke, Apolly had already pulled the sleigh full of firewood to the door of the tent with the fire burning, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Victor, go get the soup pot, spoon and knife from the living cabin."
Bring it here and get an onion and a piece of venison."
"Immediately" Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had once again opened the door of the living cabin.
When he walked into the tent carrying the necessary kitchen utensils and ingredients with a soup pot, Apolly had already filled a few pieces of firewood into the red-hot stove.
For the next half hour or so, Wei Ran, who originally thought he could rest, turned into a kitchen assistant and helped Apolly cook a large pot of thick broth, while also baking a basket full of sliced bread.
When the two of them brought a pot full of broth and a basket of toast into the living cabin, the two four-seater tables had been put together again, and not only had eight bottles of vodka been placed on them in advance
The enamel jar has an opened can of condensed milk and a plate of sliced apples in the middle.
It's just that I don't know if it was to avoid being affected by the mood. This time, the radio did not appear on the table. Instead, there was an accordion on a chair and the violin that Dr. Murat was playing.
