Wei Ran murmured to himself, raised his head and asked Dmitri who was standing at the door of the container, "Do you know where this rescue station is?"
"I might need to call and ask."
Dmitri replied uncertainly, "There are at least hundreds of aid stations in this wasteland. I'm afraid only people who often run this road know their locations."
"So you don't know?" Wei Ran made a second confirmation knowingly.
Dmitri pointed to the top of his head, "I usually fly in the sky, and there are no rescue stations in the stratosphere."
"makes sense"
Wei Ran responded perfunctorily, squatting beside the iron table and carefully checking the radio that was still playing old songs.
This thing was said to be a radio, but after inspection, Weiran found that it was just a radio with the switch and volume adjustment removed. Finally, an old-fashioned radio case was put on the outside for protection, and the speaker on it was also borrowed for external use.
It was just a player. It didn't even have a battery installed, and relied entirely on the small wind turbine on the top of the container to provide power to drive this outdated little machine, tirelessly playing the only song on the tape over and over again.
Wei Ran put the radio casing back on the player and said, "Dmitri, I want to visit this fire rescue station."
"Aren't you going to the No. 58 forest farm?" Dmitri asked in surprise.
"If we don't go, we might as well ask the people at the rescue station. Maybe he can get some clues."
Hearing this, Dmitri nodded happily, "I'm going to call and find out who knows the specific location of this rescue station."
"sorry to bother you"
Wei Ran thanked absentmindedly, but his attention was still lingering in the container. He always felt that this container was made by Apolly, because no matter it was the song they sang together in the living cabin of the transport vehicle while holding up their wine glasses,
The old songs that have been played several times and the meaningful name of the rescue station all seem to be hinting at something.
After sitting on a long chair in the container and waiting patiently for five or six minutes, Dmitri hung up the second call and said, "I found it, but the location is a bit far away."
"How far is it?" Wei Ran stood up and walked out of the container, asking as he closed the door again.
"I just got the coordinates." Dmitri shook the satellite phone in his hand, "We need to check the specific location to find out."
"Send me the coordinates directly." Wei Ran pointed to the off-road vehicle in the river, "Let's try to get to the rescue station tonight."
"Or we can just call and ask," Dmitri said as he chased Wei Ran, "this way we can save some time."
Wei Ran stopped, turned around and said seriously, "Since we are seeking help from others, we should be polite and take the initiative to visit. This is the most basic etiquette."
"When did you become so polite?"
Dmitri muttered secretly, but found that Weiran had already gotten into the warm off-road vehicle. Seeing this, he could only shake his head and sent the coordinates he had just obtained to Weiran.
After inputting this string of coordinates into the satellite map, Wei Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when the specific location popped up.
This field rescue station, which is almost 100 kilometers away from them, is only less than 20 kilometers away in a straight line from Mine No. 119.
At this time, he was extremely sure that the wild rescue station named Agni must be inextricably linked to April.
"Suisui, drive in this direction."
Wei Ran raised his hand and pointed to the branch of the river on the left, "Keep walking along this river, and then go north when you encounter the intersection of the three rivers. The whole journey is more than 100 kilometers. We will try to get there before dark."
"Sit tight!"
Before the veteran driver Sui Sui finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and like a runaway Beria, he violently rushed into the river pointed by Wei Ran.
"Victor, aren't we going to Forest Farm No. 58?" Jima asked in confusion on the radio channel, "We are less than 20 kilometers away from that forest farm."
"No rush, let's go to the Fiery Wilderness Rescue Station next to Mine No. 119."
Wei Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and deliberately explained the next plan in detail on the radio channel, "Since there are rescue station staff on duty there, maybe they can know something. Even if we don't gain anything, we won't go back when we come back.
Night."
"It's up to you," Ji Ma responded boredly and then stopped.
After waiting for a while, Weiran simply turned on the car radio, which he had never used before, and adjusted the channel to the distress frequency band of the Fiery Wilderness Rescue Station.
Contrary to his expectations, this channel was extremely lively. From time to time, someone would chat in it, or simply brag about the dangers they encountered on the road or even an unknown true or false encounter in a certain pub. In addition,
There is a joyful atmosphere, and it is completely impossible to tell that this channel is used to seek help.
"What channel is this?" Suisui, who was in charge of driving, asked curiously.
"The distress frequency band of the wild fire rescue station"
"It sounds like a late-night emotional channel," Suisui complained, rolling her eyes.
"Driving in this damn place, it would be nice to have a chat channel."
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he heard someone on the channel shouting, "Ivan, old Ivan, call Old Ivan from the Fire Rescue Station."
After this call, the entire channel immediately fell silent, and then, a strong but extremely hoarse voice responded, "I am Ivan from the Fire Rescue Station."
"Container No. 8"
The person who just called quickly said, "My truck rolled over about 22 kilometers west of Container No. 8 and I need help."
"Is anyone injured?" Old Ivan from the Fire Rescue Station asked.
"My son has a five-centimeter wound on his forehead. We have moved to the shore, but please come here quickly. My car has medicines needed by herdsmen for the winter, as well as school textbooks. Now the rear of the car is stuck in the ice.
It’s in.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If anyone is in container No. 8, please go over and help."
Old Ivan from the aid station said calmly, "It will take me two hours to get there. You first find a way to bandage your son's wound."
"Old Ivan, where is container No. 8?"
Wei Ran picked up the microphone of the car radio and asked. The other person's voice was too hoarse and didn't sound like Apolly at all.
So the best way at the moment may be to meet the other party. In this case, nothing can leave a better impression than "acting bravely for justice".
"New here?" Old Ivan asked unhurriedly.
"Passing by" Wei Ran gave an answer in a calm tone that suggested accident.
"I'll give you the coordinates. If you have a satellite map, you can take note of it."
"Come here." Wei Ran released the microphone, picked up the tablet and was ready to enter the coordinates.
After a while, a set of precise coordinates were reported on the channel. After Weiran input them into the satellite map, he found that they were only about fifty kilometers away.
"How far away are you, young man?" asked a voice that had just been bragging about a story that the tavern waitress had to tell.
"50 kilometers" Wei Ran glanced at Suisui next to him, "You can get there in an hour."
"Is there anything closer?"
Ivan from the rescue station followed up and asked. After waiting for a while and seeing no one responded, he immediately said again, "Young people passing by, if it's convenient, go and take a look. At least let them and their son stay warm in your car."
"We will get there as quickly as possible"
While Wei Ran responded, he pushed the tablet to Suisui. The latter immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, picked up the walkie-talkie, and briefly described the situation.
In the off-road vehicle driven by Maya, Jima said seriously, "Maya, let me drive."
Maya glanced at Ji Ma, who had been clinging to her in the passenger seat, finally nodded, stepped on the brakes and changed places with the other person.
Holding the steering wheel, Ji Ma opened the car window a small gap, then he lit a cigarette and took a big sip, and said in a puff of smoke, "Fasten your seat belt and let Victor
Send me the coordinates."
Hearing this, Maya fastened her seat belt obediently, even grabbed the handle on the pillar with her hand, and then picked up the walkie-talkie.
It wasn't until this moment that Ji Ma stepped on the accelerator. Suddenly, amidst the roar of the engine, the off-road vehicle that started running again continued to accelerate and actually increased its speed on the snow-covered ice.
Reached the highest.
In the violent bumps and even jumps, the car driven by Jima caught up with Dmitri in the blink of an eye, and then passed the Katenka sisters who had been following Suisui, and finally passed the ones who were running at the front.
Suisui ran at the front without slowing down at all.
"Did his car get drugged?" Suisui asked dully, holding the shaking steering wheel.
"Maybe Ji Ma took medicine."
Wei Ran said dumbfounded, and couldn't help but recall the scary scene when Jima was held at gunpoint by Dalia and stepped on the accelerator when they were in class together at the Hongqi Forest Farm.
It only lasted just over forty minutes. When the three of their vehicles were still chasing along the ruts left by Jima, the latter had already parked the car at the front of an overturned GAZ66 truck.
.
"vomit--"
As soon as the car stopped, Maya opened the window, stuck her head out, and vomited out all the food she had eaten before setting off.
"Sorry." Ji Ma, who was about to open the door, immediately opened a bottle of water and handed it over.
Maya waved her hand and pointed at the father and son standing on the shore while vomiting.
Seeing this, Jima took out a few more tissues and stuffed them into the other person's hand. Then he put the mineral water aside, took out the Makorov pistol that had been hidden in his boot, loaded the bullet, and then opened the car door.
.
"Did you just ask for help on the radio channel?" Jima asked cautiously, standing on the side of the car door.
"Yes, it's us, it's us!" The man standing on the shore, wrapping his son in a coat from beginning to end, said gratefully.
Hearing this, Ji Ma first looked around the overturned truck, and then glanced at the tire dozens of meters away from the rear of the truck. Finally, he nodded and said enthusiastically, "Get in the car quickly.
Come and warm yourself in the car, we have a medical kit here and can help treat your son's wounds."
"thanks, thanks!"
The man standing on the shore let his son come out of the warm coat. Then he took off his coat in advance and took the initiative to walk around in front of Jima, and then sent his son to the warm coat.
The off-road vehicle took the initiative and said, "I'll just wait outside."
"Come up." Ji Ma shook his head, "If you can trust us."
"Thank you." The man quickly got into the car.
"Are you okay?" Jima asked Maya.
"It's okay." Maya waved her hand, "I have already informed Victor and the others. The remaining cars will arrive in twenty minutes at most."
After hearing this, Jima looked at the little boy who was only eight or nine years old. The little guy was covering the wound on his head with a piece of gauze that he didn't know where it came from, and there was still dried blood on his cheek. But he
His throat was also covered with gauze, but the bandaging technique looked much more professional.
"The wound has stopped bleeding"
Ji Ma scratched the back of his head in distress, "You may have to wait a moment. Someone more professional than me will come over soon. He is better at treating wounds than me."
Of course Ji Ma was talking about Wei Ran. After all, before filming the movie, he had been dawdling around in the Hongqi Forest Farm. The first aid knowledge he learned about the three-legged cat could not be said to have been forgotten at all, but he had not forgotten it at all.
He didn't remember much. The most he dared to do was use the knife on the wild boar.
The man was obviously relieved, and then looked worriedly at the overturned car outside, "Can you help me pull the car out?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This car cannot drag the GAZ 66"
Ji Ma pointed to the surrounding ice, "Even if we go over now, the biggest possibility is that the ice will be crushed and the whole car will sink into the water."
"Let's wait for old Ivan"
The man muttered something worriedly, and then, as if he just remembered it, he introduced himself and his son.
"Paulia, how can you take your son on a transportation trip in this weather?" Jima, who also introduced himself, asked his doubts.
"I took him to the hospital." Paulia pointed to his Adam's apple. "He has a small thing in his throat and needs a minor operation."
"What a poor little guy." Jima brought a cup of coffee to the man named Paulia and Maya, who had just caught her breath.
The two waited with the father and son for more than ten minutes, and Wei Ran and others also arrived at the scene of the accident.
"Victor, his wounds need to be treated." Ji Ma whispered, "But I only dare to sew on animals."
"Didn't we rescue a ranger before?" Wei Ran asked while examining the child's wounds.
"That's different"
Jima grinned and argued, "If we didn't save him that time, he would have died. But this time he was a child, and I didn't want to leave a scar on his face. Maybe he would become a star in the future."
"
"Are you confused when you act like a demon in a movie?" Wei Ran said, dumbfounded, "Let everyone else go out, and then take out the medical kit."
"I can do this!"
Ji Ma immediately happily greeted the onlookers to get out of the car, and then pulled out a medical kit from under the bed where he had never been able to lie down.
Perhaps it's because it's so easy to encounter all kinds of dangers in this polar environment. The medical kit in this car is also very professional. There are at least two sets of surgical kits.
Asking Jima to help provide lighting, Wei Ran made some preparations and injected a small amount of anesthetic around the wound of this quiet little guy who didn't cry or fuss. Then he cleaned off the gauze adhering to the wound and used the latest
Thin sutures were used to carefully sew up the scar at the same location as that of a certain magician.
"How good is this sewing?" Wei Ran secretly praised it, then carefully covered it with dressing and bandaged it.
By the time he and Jima walked out of the car one after another, Dmitri and the man named Paulia were already studying how to pull out the truck that had rolled over because it lost a tire.
. Even the other three trucks had their winches hung on the front of that truck.
Unfortunately, although the power of the winch was strong enough, the bottom of the off-road vehicle itself was unstable. So they tried hard for a long time, but not only could they not get the vehicle to stand up again, but the ice around the vehicle broke a large amount.
piece.
At this time, no one dared to do anything anymore. They could only get into the warm car and wait for old Ivan from the Liehuo Wilderness Rescue Station to come over and help.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Weiran also made some insinuations and heard some things about the Liehuo Wilderness Rescue Station from the man named Paulia.
According to the other party, he began transporting supplies to the settled nomadic tribes on this river more than ten years ago. When he first entered the industry, the Agni Wilderness Rescue Station already existed.
It’s just that the rescue points along the river at that time were all simple shacks built with logs. Those containers that Wei Ran and others had seen appeared in recent years due to the support of the coal fields. Even the supplies inside were often
Drivers who run this route voluntarily put them in. After all, no one knows whether they will be hit next.
During their chat, the last ray of sunset was completely blocked by the coniferous forest in the distance, and deafening noises were heard from a distance.
Before even seeing the car behind the row of dazzling headlights, Paulia shouted excitedly, "It's old Ivan! It's old Ivan here!"
Soon, the roar of car lights and engines came from far away, and a bright red ATS59G crawler-type artillery tractor with flame patterns also slowly stopped in front of everyone.
Weiran is almost 100% sure that this tractor-trailer with a ring of searchlights mounted on the roof is definitely not the one that drove out of the abandoned mine on New Year's Eve on the last day of 1991.
Because it was so new, not only was the window glass not damaged, but the red-painted canvas shed on the cargo bed was also clean.
Not only that, in addition to a small bulldozer on the front of the car, there is also a ladder-shaped simple boom about four meters long diagonally supported, so that the car looks like a big red
Like a mechanical unicorn.
There is no need to explain the bulldozer, and the boom has no technological content. To put it bluntly, it is just a simple crane. The entire lifting system is completed by passing the steel wire of the winch at the rear of the vehicle through the fixed pulley on the top of the boom. This transformation
Although the lifting weight is not too high, it is simple and low-cost. Even if it breaks, it is not troublesome to repair.
As the engine stalled, the door of the big red tractor was pushed open by someone in the cab.
Immediately afterwards, a man with a cotton hat and thick beard jumped down.
"How is the child?" The slovenly man asked the first question in a hoarse voice, while also pulling out a medical box from the cab.
"He is fine. These kind people have stitched up his wounds."
Paulia said gratefully, "Uncle Ivan, the main thing now is that I need to get my truck out quickly. It contains the children's books and the veterinary medicine the reindeer need."
“It’s good that the child is fine”
The man named Ivan glanced at Wei Ran and others, put the medical kit in his hand back into the cab, silently walked around the overturned truck, and then said, "You can't right it, otherwise
The tires will definitely break into the ice during righting."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What should we do?" Paulia asked with a grimace.
"Pull it to the shore first." Ivan waved to Wei Ran and others, "Drive your car to the shore."
“Do as he says”
Wei Ran winked, turned around and got into the car with Suisui. Although he had only glanced at the other person in a hurry, even though he had a thick beard on his face, he still recognized at a glance that old Ivan was the former one.
Apolly.
No matter what his name was, four off-road vehicles parked far away on the shore under his command. He also drove the artillery tractor to the shore and put down the bulldozer as a hoe, and then pulled it from the winch.
It came out of the trailer hitch, passed through the obviously artificially cut gap in the bulldozer, and finally hung on the trailer hitch of the overturned truck.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the winch was slowly retracted, easily pulling the overturned truck out of the frozen ice, and dragging it little by little to the shore.
After retracting the winch, Ivan or Apolly drove the tractor over again, and carefully righted the vehicle body with the help of the boom and bulldozer.
This was not over yet. Under the watchful eyes of Wei Ran and others, he also used the bulldozer as a jack to put a spare tire on the car.
For this, the driver named Paulia only had to pay for two bottles of vodka and a mere three thousand rubles for gas. Not to mention the Siberian wilderness where people can freeze to death, even in places like Kazan.
In the suburbs of cities, charging like this is no different than free of charge.
Watching Paulia hugging his son and climbing into the slightly deformed truck cab, he said goodbye to everyone with gratitude and continued on their way. Weiran also rushed to stop "Ivan" before he got into the tractor cab.
.
"What's wrong?" Ivan shook the ruble he just got in his hand and asked jokingly with a smile, "Young man, do you need me to give you some money?"
"Need not"
Wei Ran waved his hand, "Mr. Ivan, we have been traveling for a long time, can we go to the Liehuo Rescue Station to rest for a night?"
"sure!"
The unshaven old man had already opened the door of the tractor as he spoke, "Follow me, I'm safe here."
"Can I ride in your car?" Wei Ran asked rather shamelessly, "It's my first time here, and it's also my first time seeing a car like this."
"Curious little guy," Ivan pointed to the passenger seat and said with great tolerance, "Come up here."
"Everyone follow up"
Wei Ran greeted everyone behind him, then quickly went around to the other side and got into the passenger seat.
As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but smile on his face. Although twenty or thirty years had passed, and although Apolly had not only changed his car but also his name, there was still a hot button burning in his cab.
A roaring stove.
The red coke in the furnace seemed to have never been extinguished from beginning to end.
