On December 7, 1991, all supplies and equipment were loaded into the cargo hold. Under the guidance of Pavel, Weiyan controlled the transport vehicle and continued to move forward. As for the authentic driver of this transport vehicle, Apoli, he was living his life at this time.
In the cabin, we were repairing the small fuel generator that suddenly stopped working.
After continuing to advance for about 5 kilometers, Dr. Pavel checked against the map in his hand and then signaled the Wenyan to stop the transport vehicle at the edge of a river that looked less than 10 meters wide.
"Just stop here!"
Pavel said with satisfaction, "Next, we have to continue sampling along this seasonal river to the northwest, so we may have to move the location frequently along the river."
"no problem"
Wei Ran responded happily, this kind of thing is nothing more than what the other party said and what he did, and there was no need to use his own brain at all.
Pushing open the heavy skylight above his head, Wei Ran stretched out the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
Amidst the crisp sound of gunfire, the flying bullet casings hit the roof of the car and made a tinkling sound, which was particularly pleasant to hear on this quiet winter night.
After emptying a magazine in just a few seconds, Weiran withdrew his rifle and closed the skylight, got out of the car and helped Agwan and others remove various supplies and equipment from the cargo hold.
However, because Apolly has not yet repaired the generator, if the drill core sampling work is to continue, the transport vehicle has to be kept started.
Taking this opportunity, Weihan simply cleaned the cab of the transport truck carefully.
Both expected and unexpected, when Wei Yan reached into the back of the instrument behind the steering wheel, he pulled out a Makarov PB silent pistol that should never be issued to transport truck drivers.
!
He carefully pulled out the magazine and looked at it, then unscrewed the silencer and looked at it. After restoring the pistol to its original shape, Weiran inserted it back into the steel holster hidden in various circuits on the back of the instrument panel.
Although he couldn't see the shape of the holster due to the angle, Wei Ran knew it just by touching the outline. It was just enough to wrap the silencer, and there was a clip at the end to hold it.
Round tube type bayonet at the muzzle.
And the reason why he knew it so well was because he had seen this thing before at his Hongqi Forest Farm. This kind of "gun holster" is by no means a standard. The only advantage is that it can be installed in any position with screws, and it is easy to access.
It is very convenient. The only drawback is that it is more troublesome to put the gun back.
To give a more detailed example, teachers Culp and Dalia have such holsters installed under their desks, but the Makarov silent pistol is not fixed on the holsters. The two teachers even more
What I like to use is also the lightweight PSS silent pistol.
Having basically confirmed April's identity, Wei Ran felt a lot more at ease. All he needed to do now was to wait patiently for the subsequent development of the matter.
After carefully cleaning up the various garbage accumulated in the cab, he slowly lowered the back of the seat and began to figure out the context of the entire team.
In short, two doctors, Murat and Pavel, brought their students to this freezing Siberia to do bacterial breeding work, just for the purpose of colonizing bacterial space.
There is no doubt that, at least in Agrawan's mouth, this almost whimsical project has not received much attention. It is estimated that for the Academy of Sciences at this time, it is at most a mere distraction.
But even in such a scientific research project that is not taken seriously, there is a 99.99% possible KGB like Apolly hidden in it. This makes people wonder whether the so-called psychrophilic anaerobic bacteria have any other value.
.
Or maybe, every scientific research project being carried out in this wilderness is secretly followed or even protected by KGB members?
But if there are... no, no, no, if Apolly is really a member of the KGB, how could this exploration team disappear?
Did they encounter a danger that even the KGB could not eliminate? If so, how did those documents appear twenty or thirty years later?
If not, did Apoli kill them? If so, why did Apoli kill them? Is it really because of those bacteria? Isn’t this project not taken seriously?
After thinking about it, Wei Ran clarified the situation, but he also had new doubts. And the focus of these doubts was on whether those bacteria had any other unknown functions.
In fact, Wei Ran was extremely suspicious that the safe in the living cabin might contain some of the answers he wanted to know.
Suppressing the urge to pry open the safe to find out what was going on, Wei Ran became more cautious.
At present, he only speculated on the factors of April's evil deeds and force majeure, but he also did not forget that there was a grenade hidden in Gennady's personal belongings box.
He did not forget that what was reappeared in later generations along with those documents was the birthday gift that Agravan had prepared for his teacher Dr. Pavel - a Nagant revolver with a mammoth ivory handle patch.
After such calculations, there are three people in the team of seven people who are suspected, and this is just the answer he came up with after cleaning once. But don't forget, this is only the seventh day of December, and there are two more to come.
More than ten days to wait.
This shit... is more troublesome than the kid's secret room murder case...
Wei Ran muttered to himself and looked in the rearview mirror to see that Apolly and others had already carried the small fuel generator over. He immediately pushed open the heavy car door and enthusiastically went to help.
After a moment of busy work, the generator that had been re-fixed in the cargo hold began to roar again. This transport vehicle, which consumed astonishing fuel consumption, could finally be shut down.
He took out the cast-iron stove behind the driver's seat and lit it up again. Just when Weiran was about to go to the cargo hold to find some potatoes to roast to satisfy his craving, April got in first.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Aren't you going hunting today?" Wei Ran asked with a normal expression.
"not going"
Apolly pointed outside the car window, "There are coniferous forests on both sides of the river. If we don't keep a close eye on it, someone might be picked off by a wolf."
Having said this, Apolly pointed to Agravan and Gennadi who were busy in the direction of the car, and while pushing open the skylight above his head, he said, "And they are the best bait, aren't they? Those hungry wolves
The crowd will definitely be tempted by them."
"That's right." Wei Ran nodded in agreement, also pushed open the skylight above his head, and placed the loaded AK rifle on the roof of the car in advance.
"Did you clean the cab just now?" April asked as if he just noticed.
"It was too dirty, so I cleaned it briefly."
After Wei Ran sat down again, he pretended to be disgusted and reminded, "Also, could you please stop putting worn socks, uneaten bread, and half-drunk vodka in the same glove box in the future?"
"I'll pay attention if I remember."
April laughed and responded, then patted his forehead and said, "Victor, can you do me a favor and go to the cargo hold to get something to eat and drink?"
"No problem." Wei Ran simply put on his clothes and left the cab without any hesitation.
Watching the gas in the rearview mirror entering the cargo hold, April reached out to the back of the instrument panel. When he accurately grasped the handle of the Makarov silent pistol, the last trace of doubt appeared on his face.
, and then slowly dissipated.
In the following days, Weiran almost completely took over the work of chefs and cleaners, and Apolly never left again, even sleeping in the warm cab.
Of course, even so, he still hunted a lot. After a few days, he had accumulated a dozen wolf skins on the roof of the car.
This is because the braised wolf meat that Wei Ran has made several times in a row needs to be eaten with the skin. Otherwise, it would probably not be a problem to collect twenty pieces of the frozen hard wolf skins on the roof of the car.
Of course, there is a price. Not to mention other things, the bald Agrawan was almost eaten by a lone wolf who lurked under the car when he went to defecate in the tent at the cabin door.
Half of the face.
Although he survived unscathed in the end, and successfully used his revolver to kill Voldemort, Agravan himself sat down in embarrassment on the last thing he should sit on.
Of course, it was disgusting, but everyone was extremely lucky. This was a critical moment that was a matter of life and death. Not to mention sitting on a frozen cake that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Even if... they finally survived.
Time flies to the 12th day of December. When the short day comes outside the window, the transport vehicle has moved a total distance of almost 20 kilometers along the river. According to the original plan, it is time for them to return to the camp for supplies.
when.
However, during the period before departure, Wei Ran, who had become familiar with everyone thanks to his cooking skills that were very different from those of the Slavic people, also took a group photo of everyone in the warm living cabin.
"Why don't we go outside and take a photo too?"
Agrawan was the first to stand up and suggested, "Today is a rare day with no wind or snow. Let's go outside and take a group photo!"
"This is a good suggestion!" Taras was the first to agree.
"Let me take pictures for you this time."
Apolly continued, "Victor has taken a lot of photos for us these days, but he doesn't have many photos of himself, so let him appear in the group photo at least once!"
"Apolly is right."
Dr. Murat urged, "Victor, give your precious camera to April quickly, and then we will go outside to take some photos."
Hearing this, Wei Ran smiled, took off the camera hanging around his neck and handed it to April who came closer.
Under the leadership of the two young men, Agvan and Taras, who were the first to get up, everyone left the warm living cabin one after another. They marked the words "Siberian Branch of the Soviet Academy of Sciences" and the eye-catching Soviet national emblem on the living cabin.
As the background, Apolly helped take a group photo that Wei Ran had seen before.
"Would you like to take a photo on the roof of the car?" Wei Ran asked as he took the camera from Apolly.
"Going to take pictures on the roof of the car?"
"certainly"
Wei Ran pointed to the cab of the transport truck, "Four people can stand on the roof, no problem, and three people can stand on the front of the truck."
"Since the photographer said it, let's do what the photographer said!" Dr. Pavel, who had already been teased by Wei Ranyang, agreed without thinking.
"Wait a moment"
Wei Ran stopped everyone, "Apolly, please move the transport vehicle first. Let it cross the river, and then turn to the left, so that when I take the picture, I can separate you and the Soviet Union in the living cabin at the rear of the vehicle.
The national emblem was photographed together.”
"Victor, you should become a professional photographer." Dr. Murat's teasing received a nod of approval from everyone, including Apoli.
"When I have the opportunity in the future, I will become a photographer." Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand as he said this, "Apolly, move the transport truck quickly!"
"Wait a minute!" As Apolly spoke, he quickly got into the cab.
A moment later, a low roar reached his ears. Apolly drove the transport truck flexibly to change directions across the river bed. Then he turned the front of the truck to the left as Weihan asked, and put the two-section body into a
Boomerang shape.
When he turned off the engine, Wei Ran immediately commanded the two doctors and their respective "closed disciples" Taras and Agwan to get out of the cab.
When the four people leaned out more than half of their bodies from the four skylights above the cab, Apolly and two other students, Sharip and Gennadi, also stood in the middle on the "bumper" of the front of the car under Wei Ran's command.
superior.
Waiting patiently for Dr. Murat to take out a Soviet flag from his arms and unfold it, and seven people working together to open it and cover most of the cab windshield, Wei Ran then raised his camera and used the lens to cover them.
However, in this shot, in addition to the small team of seven and the Soviet national emblem on the rear living compartment of the car, he also accidentally caught the materials that had just been unloaded from the car and had not had time to be buried in the snow.
.
After pressing the shutter twice in a row, Wei Ran put down the camera with satisfaction, "Is there anything else you want to take pictures of?"
"Of course!"
Before Dr. Murat finished speaking, his upper body had already retracted into the cab. After a while, everyone followed him and walked to Wei Ran.
"Victor, please take a photo of the two of us," Murat said while patting Dr. Pavel's shoulder hard.
"How do you plan to shoot?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"Just shoot like this"
While speaking, Murat had already taken off the hat he had just put on, and together with Pavel beside him, he once again held up the not-so-large national flag.
Seeing this, Wei Ran took a few steps back, aimed at the two of them, and pressed the shutter.
"Anyone else want to take pictures?" Wei Ran asked again.
"Since there is no more, let's go back to the camp!" Apolly waited for a moment and said, "The sauna and freshly baked bread are waiting for us."
"Although Victor has kept the living cabin very clean these days, I really should take a shower." Murat said with a smile, "So Apoli, please drive faster on the way back."
"You should talk to Victor about this." Apolly patted Wei Ran's shoulder affectionately, "He will be driving the entire way back."
"No matter who it is, I can't wait to go back to the camp and take a shower."
Pavel lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke while jokingly reminding him, "Victor, remember to be careful. I just made a pot of black tea. If you overturn it, I will throw you into the teapot."
inside."
"Your requirements are conflicting." Wei Ran spread his hands in a show of helplessness, turned around and got into the cab.
Just like what these two doctors said, everyone really needs a bath now. Although there is a bathroom in the living cabin and a shower in the bathroom, taking a bath is really a troublesome thing for them because of the poor conditions.
, especially having to open the drain valve when taking a shower is extremely frustrating.
Because the drain valve with a thick mouth is just an iron pipe that goes straight to the outside. It works, but the cold wind pouring in from the inside is so cold that it will freeze your dick off. This is not nonsense, but Weiran's own
Personal experience.
When everyone was ready, the starting signal from Murat came from the small speaker on the top of the cab.
Glancing at Apolly, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rubbing his feet and smoking a cigarette, Wei Ran slowly stepped on the accelerator, dragged the living cabin behind him, and left the oil drums and wooden boxes half buried in the middle of the river.
Now, in the cargo hold of this transport vehicle, apart from the core samples collected by Taras and others for a week, there is only one fuel generator, and even the fuel reserve in the tank is only enough to return to the camp.
amount.
Stocking up on more daily necessities was something I had already started preparing for when I left the camp a week ago. However, no one knew the exact answer to how many supplies the dozen or so wolf skins on the roof of the car could be exchanged for.
.
In the overly warm cab, Wei Ran became more and more skillful in controlling this huge transport vehicle. It was like a short and fat python in the undulating wilderness, twisting left and right in the direction of the camp.
Move forward steadily.
Outside the car window, the gloomy sky didn't last long before falling into a long period of darkness. When Wei Ran turned on the row of halogen headlights the size of ocean bowls on the roof of the car, he noticed that fine particles had begun to float in the sky.
snowflakes.
"Speed up," April said after crushing the cigarette butt in a can, "and walk a little further while the visibility is good enough."
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately increased his speed and drove towards the camp under the guidance of the other party.
Finally, when heavy snow fell in the night sky, Wei Ran also drove the transport truck into the camp wrapped in a snow wall.
However, before the car stopped, everyone realized that something was wrong. When we came last time, although there were many tents in this camp, there were not many people at all.
But it has only been a week, and now there are already five DT-30 transport vehicles parked scatteredly in the center of the camp.
It can be said that these behemoths are very similar to the one driven by Wei Ran. The biggest difference at first glance is that at most they are slightly different in paint and different subordinate units on the car body.
Among these five vehicles, except for two of them that were originally staying in the camp, the remaining three belonged to both the energy department and the mining department, and one also belonged to the Siberian Academy of Sciences.
And in the big tent where the fronts of the five transport trucks were pointed together, it was also brightly lit and extremely noisy, and no one came to greet them at all.
"Victor, turn off the lights and stay in the car." Apolly had already taken off the rifle fixed on the gun rack as he spoke.
Watching Apolly open the door and get out of the car, Wei Ran turned off all the lights on the transport vehicle, and then reached out to touch the silent pistol behind the dashboard. In the end, he didn't even dare to turn off the engine, but instead touched the
body, took another AK rifle from the passenger seat and loaded it with bullets.
Under his patient waiting and secret observation, Dr. Murat and Dr. Pavel ran towards the big tent with their cameras, and even when they were about to enter the tent, Dr. Murat even fell.
"Is this...the news of the establishment of the CIS reaching here?"
Wei Ran thought for a while and guessed that during this week, Dr. Murat and others who did not want to hear bad news deliberately did not use the radio, let alone turn on the locked radio station.
But it was already December 12th, four days after the three countries Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine signed the "Commonwealth of Independent States Agreement" and announced the formation of the "Commonwealth of Independent States". Even if it is further away from Moscow,
Far away, no matter how slow the transmission speed of radio waves is, it will not be able to stop the fire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the noise coming from the brightly lit big tent again, Wei Ran could almost imagine what the people inside were doing at this time.
Struggling with confusion and complex emotions.
"boom!"
A crisp gunshot came from the tent along with panicked shouts. Immediately afterwards, someone shouted at the top of their lungs at the tent door, looking for a doctor.
Not long after, Dr. Murat and Dr. Pavel stumbled out of the chaotic tent, as if their backbones had been ripped out, hunched over and walked step by step to the back of the car, and finally disappeared into the car that had been occupied.
Wei Ran's concern is in the rearview mirror.
A moment later, Apolly ran from a distance towards the living cabin of the parking space. At the same time, a dozen soldiers followed a bulldozer and rushed over. Under the leadership of Taras and Agwan, they delivered the goods.
The filled metal drawers in the cargo hold also replenish the cargo hold and fuel tanks.
Less than half an hour later, the bulldozer led the group of soldiers straight to a tent in the distance in an almost coordinated manner with infantry and tanks. Appoli also appeared at almost the same time and ran from the rear to the front of the car, opened the door and jumped into the cab.
"Victor, leave the camp, immediately!" After finishing speaking, April had time to close the car door.
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately stepped on the accelerator, drove the transport truck that had never been turned off, and drove out of the camp, once again driving into the wilderness shrouded in snow.
"Eat something." Apolly took out a Soviet lunch box from his arms and handed it to Wei Ran.
Seeing this, Wei Ran unceremoniously took the warm lunch box and opened it. There was only a cut piece of bread, and there were also a few slices of ham as thick as the palm of his hand and a few slices of tomatoes sandwiched in the bread.
Picking up the bread and taking a bite, Wei Ran heard Apoli beside him say leisurely, "Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine formed the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Soviet Union... has completely gone back.
"
"When did it happen?" Wei Ran asked calmly, holding the bread in one hand and holding the steering wheel in the other.
"Four days ago" there was a hint of ridicule and fear in April's tone.
"There's still half a bottle of vodka left in the box behind the seat." Wei Ran glanced at Apolly, "If you need it."
“Now is not the time”
Apollo rubbed his face vigorously and said, "Victor, speed up and drive the car into the forest ahead and stop."
"Sit tight," Wei Ran said, taking a bite of the bread and pressing the accelerator to the bottom.
Driven by the surging power, the nearly empty transport vehicle suddenly accelerated its speed, splitting through the increasingly thick snow curtain and soft snow, and drove straight to the forest that could not be illuminated by the headlights.
