On the knee-deep snow, Wei Ran walked back with difficulty holding a wolf by the tail. From time to time, he would even turn the two wolves over, hoping to freeze to death as soon as possible before returning to the transport truck.
flea.
Soon after, the bald Agrawan, Taras and Sharip also ran to meet them.
"You two are not injured, are you?" Wei Ran let go of the wolf tail in his hand and asked Taras and Sharip proactively.
"It's okay, we're okay."
Taras shook his head gently, pointed straight ahead and said, "Fortunately, Apolly made a trap in that direction. When these wolves were still far away from us, we heard the scream of one of them."
"Thanks to your support," Sharip continued, "Victor, your marksmanship is really good, you can hit me from such a distance."
“It’s just good luck.”
Wei Ran grinned. Not to mention that the distance between him and the wolves was less than 200 meters. After all, what he was holding was an assault rifle with intensive firepower instead of a single-shot bolt-action rifle. The bullets in both magazines were all
If you shoot with long bursts, even if you are blind, you can always catch one or two.
After confirming that both parties were fine, Taras and Sharip once again walked towards the sampling equipment that was still running not far away and the tent with no temperature. After saying hello to Wei Ran, the bald Agrawan also
Once again, we got into the warm cab.
But this time, Wei Ran didn't dare to be lazy. His job included being a sentry. If one or two of these people were really snatched away by wolves, he might not be able to go back more than twenty years later.
I have to put a question mark.
Pulling out the bayonet of the AK rifle from the cab as quickly as possible, Wei Ran hung the two wolves upside down on the door of the cargo hold, quickly peeled off the two wolf skins with remaining bullet holes, and hid them in the snow.
After stepping on it and freezing, he raised his hand and threw it on the roof of the car.
First, he tied the wolf skin to the railing on the top of the cab, then took a camera and took a photo of the bald man driving a transport truck to fulfill his promise, and then immediately approached Taras on his skis.
Together with Sharip, and under their guidance, they found the wolf that was still retreating more than half of the way through the trap.
It could be seen that this wolf was not that big, and perhaps it was because he was too young and inexperienced that one of his hind legs was caught in a trap.
Moreover, the power of this animal trap, which was the size of a washbasin, was astonishing. This wolf, perhaps participating in a group hunt for the first time, would obviously not survive.
"boom!"
Wei Ran aimed at the wolf, which was still growling menacingly, and fired a bullet, first leaving a bullet hole in its forehead. Then he slashed its neck with the bayonet fixed to the muzzle.
Falling into the quiet edge of the forest, Wei Ran sighed secretly, took off the animal trap that was fixed to the ground by an ice rod and iron chains, and dragged the warm wolf corpse towards two tents a hundred meters away.
"Is this the kind person who reported the news to us?" Taras asked with a smile.
"That's it." Wei Ran threw away the chain in his hand, "How about you lend me the stove?"
"Of course, no problem," Taras responded easily, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course I'll get some food to appease your frightened souls," Wei Ran joked, taking off the blood-stained animal trap and placing it on the fire.
This is a little trick Ji Ma once taught him. Prey animals in the wild are far smarter than people think. Whether they are herbivorous or carnivorous, the residual smell of blood on the animal trap will make them more vigilant and stop them from moving forward.
To solve this little trouble, burning the used animal trap is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way.
While the stove was heating the animal's trap, Wei Ran returned to the transport vehicle. He first took a large enough soup pot and various seasonings from the living cabin, and then went to the cargo hold to get some vegetables and a vegetable.
A whole bottle of vodka.
When he returned to the tent again, Taras and Sharip had already moved the stove outside the tent. Obviously, the smelly and burnt smell released after heating the animal trap was not pleasant.
Wei Ran smiled apologetically at the two men, shook the wine bottle in his hand and said, "You can each have a drink, but you can only have one drink."
"Victor, you are such a good person." Sharip immediately came up and snatched the cold bottle of wine from Wei Ran's hand.
Ignoring the two peers who were sharing a drink, Wei Ran threw the hot animal trap onto the snow, and then placed the soup pot filled with snow on the fire.
"What are you going to do?" Taras took a breath of alcohol, put on his mask again and came closer and asked.
"Give this wolf a hot bath"
As Wei Ran spoke, he stepped on the chest of the wolf corpse with his foot. Correspondingly, dark red blood gushed out from the wounds on the wolf's neck and thigh.
"I hope your cooking skills are better than Apolly's. Last time Apolly made a stew of wolf meat with potatoes and cream, we all vomited after eating it." After Taras finished speaking, he got back into the cold tent.
.
"It's definitely more delicious than what he makes," Wei Ran responded confidently.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the snow in the soup bucket turned into boiling water, and Wei Ran skillfully began the work of scalding the skin and plucking the hair.
However, this fishy smell inevitably made Taras and Sharip agree that Wei Ran's cooking skills were indeed better than Apolly's, because they couldn't help but couldn't wait for Wei Ran to cook something delicious.
About to vomit.
Wei Ran didn't bother to argue, he just used an ax to disembowel the decapitated wolf corpse roughly, cut it into mahjong-sized pieces of meat, and threw them into the cleaned soup bucket.
Gradually, as the water vapor evaporated, oily flowers began to appear on the skinned wolf meat, and the fishy smell gradually dissipated.
By the time Wei Ran poured half of the bottle of vodka into it, Taras and Shalip had already put down their work and came over again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Smiling at them pretending to be knowledgeable, Wei Ran chopped up onions and apples, along with various seasonings and a handful of dry
Throw in all the chili peppers and continue to stir-fry.
"It's a pity that there is no soy sauce and oyster sauce..." Wei Ran muttered to himself, picked up a bucket of water that had been boiled in advance and poured it in.
"I can already smell the fragrance"
Sharip said with admiration, "Victor, I take back what I just said, your cooking skills are really much better than Apolly."
“Sharip is right”
Taras nodded and praised, "Apolly has the nerve to say that he is a chef. The food he has cooked before has never tasted like this."
"I even suspected that he was a fake chef."
Shalip's unintentional words aroused Wei Ran's vigilance, "He only heats various cans and then mixes them together through various combinations."
"I really don't know how he became a chef," Taras praised, "His cooking skills are not even comparable to his driving skills."
"Fake chef?"
Wei Ran muttered secretly, and then suddenly remembered that before entering this historical episode, his cheap mentor Kajik gave almost everyone information, but deliberately omitted the transport truck driver among the missing members.
member.
What does this mean? Naturally, the driver of the transport truck has a secret.
But if Apolly is not the chef responsible for driving the transport truck... No, no, no, it should be said, if he is not just the chef responsible for driving the transport truck, then what is his other identity?
Almost subconsciously, Wei Ran found a suitable and most likely identity for the other party.
"Victor, what are you thinking about?" Taras knocked on the lid of the soup bucket.
"nothing"
Wei Ran smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to each of them, and said deliberately, "He always has his own dishes, and every chef has his own dishes, right?"
“That’s true”
Sharip responded seriously, "Comrade Apoli is best at vodka. He can always get enough vodka. From this point of view, he is indeed a qualified chef."
“I can’t argue with that.”
Taras spread his hands in an equally serious manner, "Of course, his shooting skills are also good. In the past few months, he has been able to catch prey almost every week."
"Vodka is always more precious than wolf meat, isn't it?" Wei Ran said with a smile, "Especially in a ghost place like this."
"That's true"
Taras nodded first, then sighed, "Actually, it's not just here. Even in Moscow, many things are not so easy to buy."
"That's what my girlfriend said in the letter to me."
Sharip sighed, "In many stores in Minsk, you can no longer buy anything. Even bread has to be queued up."
"I suddenly began to feel that Apolly's cooking skills are indeed very good."
As he spoke, Taras took out a half-eaten apple from his pocket and took a bite of it, "At least we have enough bread here, endless meat and fruit, and of course, the most important thing is vodka.
.”
"Thank you Comrade Apoli"
Shalip solemnly raised the non-existent wine glass, and then the three of them laughed together.
However, compared to Wei Ran's sincere fake smile in agreement, Taras and Sharip's joyful laughter hid deep concern for their families.
Watching the two men continue to work, Wei Ran skimmed the foam in the soup bucket with a spoon while secretly pondering the key information he had just obtained.
Now, he already knows the purpose of this team's search for bacteria, and has begun to vaguely doubt April's true identity. There is no doubt that these two clues are the most important gains in the short day of December 6, 1991.
So did he really go hunting? Or, in other words, were their team really the only human beings within a few kilometers nearby?
Furthermore, Wei Ran couldn't help but start to wonder whether the "bacterial space colonization plan" that even he was not optimistic about would really arouse the interest of the KGB and appoint someone to secretly participate in it or even protect it?
It shouldn't be possible, right?
Wei Ran raised his head and looked at the endless coniferous forest at the edge of the frozen lake, but he couldn't help but become suspicious in his heart.
