When I woke up, it was still dim outside the window, but the brightness of the kerosene gas lamp placed on the table had been turned up much higher.

He sat up and looked around. Mikita and Paulide had gone somewhere, and young Sersi had already gotten into his sleeping bag and was fast asleep.

Sitting up with a yawn, Wei Ran climbed out of his warm sleeping bag and took a look at the stove. Seeing that the charcoal fire inside was already dark red, he quickly poured in all the remaining coal from the iron bucket next to it.

After dressing neatly and picking up his own weapon, Wei Ran gently opened the door and casually asked about the aroma of the food. Following the smell, he found the next door. Mikita and Paulide had already set up iron bars in the former ward.

The barrel lit the fire.

At this time, Mikita was holding a spoon and patiently cooking a large pot of kasha porridge with plenty of ingredients. Around the enamel pot on the iron bucket, there were also several sliced ​​big ribs.

, and some leftovers from last night.

Paulide was not idle either. He was half-kneeling beside the hospital bed next to the fire, using a Mongolian-style knife to cut a large piece of Russian-style aspic on the eucalyptus board.

"You finally woke up"

While Mikita was speaking, he picked up a piece of toasted bread, tore half of it and handed it to Wei Ran, then stuffed the other half into his mouth and said while chewing, "Victor, take care of Wei Ran."

I’ll leave Erxi’s affairs to you.”

"Don't worry." Wei Ran took the piece of bread and took a bite, "I won't let anything happen to him."

"The most dangerous thing here now is just the wolves." As Paulide spoke, he had already put the cut and plated aspic on the table.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, the three of them went downstairs together, and Paulide got directly into the truck that the Pontiac nurse had prepared for them.

Amidst the roar of the engine, Weiran was the first to drive the car they drove out of the first floor of the abandoned hospital. Then, Paulide also drove out and waited until Mikita tied the rope with the rope prepared in advance.

The gate on the first floor was tied tightly, and the two cars parted ways.

Mikita and Paulide are going to have a look in the mine, and Wei Yan needs to store enough firewood for everyone, and also build a warm enough fireplace.

Driving in a random direction, Wei Ran stepped on the brakes about forty to fifty meters away from a waist-thick pine tree, then dug out a greasy motorcycle saw from the trunk and started felling wood.

However, before he could chop down a tree, crisp and continuous gunshots suddenly came from the direction of the mine!

"It's broken. We won't encounter it so soon, right?"

Wei Ran's heart sank, and without thinking, he turned off the motorcycle saw and threw it away, got into the cab of the truck, stepped on the accelerator and rushed over.

At this time, the gunfire continued, but compared to just now, it was no longer a suppressive shooting, but a continuous burst of fire.

This is good news, at least it means that they are not at a disadvantage at this time, and Wei Ran has not heard any different gunshots for so long, which naturally makes him feel more at ease.

When he drove to the entrance of the mine, he was completely relieved. Because neither Mikita nor Paulide got out of the car at all. As for their enemies, they were just a pack of defenseless wolves.

.

It's just that the number of wolves in this pack is quite large. As far as I can see, there are no less than a dozen wolves still alive, and there are even more corpses around them.

Before Wei Ran lowered the window and fired, the wolf pack that had suffered heavy losses had already turned around and retreated with a pitiful howl, and ran towards the forest in the distance.

But both Wei Ran and the two people in the other car could clearly see that the wolf pack had not gone far, and there was even a brave one who squatted on a rock and watched them from a distance.

"This mine should be their den," Paulide shouted loudly, "I guess there might be wolf pups or their food in it."

"Just go in and take a look and you'll find out." As Mikita spoke, he aimed at the wolf peeping in the distance and pulled the trigger again.

After the crisp gunshot, the wolf fell into the thick snow, and then, chaotic snowflakes rose up behind it again.

It wasn't until the wolf pack, which was nearly completely destroyed, that the organization was completely destroyed, that Mikita continued to speak loudly, "For safety's sake, we'd better eliminate this wolf pack completely. I don't want to encounter them in the mine."

"I brought a lot of traps here."

As he spoke, Paulide had already opened the car door and said while walking in the direction of Weiran, "In this car, we can make some traps first."

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked around to the back of the car, found a box from inside, picked up one animal trap after another and threw it out.

“Just leave it to us”

Mikita said to Wei Ran, "You can go back to your business later. It's just a few wolves. We can handle them."

"Victor, take these wolf corpses away."

Paulide came around from the back of the car, pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Leaving them here will attract more beasts."

"Leave it to me and I'll take them back."

As Wei Ran spoke, he pushed open the cab door, grabbed a wolf by its hind legs, dragged it to the rear of the car and threw it into the cargo bed.

After he cleared away the corpses all over the ground with the help of Mikita, Paulide also set up a beast trap at the entrance of the mine.

After once again confirming that the two men did not need help, Wei Ran drove the truck back along the rutted road and continued the logging work he had just started.

In addition to paying attention to safety when bringing down the tree, this job is completely time-consuming and laborious.

The felled pine tree was directly cut into half-meter wooden piers with a motorcycle saw, and then the four pieces were thrown into the cargo bucket. The remaining branches and branches were directly tied with ropes to the trailer hook at the rear of the car and taken away at once. In addition to paying attention to the whole process,

Don't be attacked by possible wolves or beasts, it's a no-brainer.

Pulling a dozen wolf carcasses and a dozen wooden stakes, plus an oversized broom-like pine tree top, when Wei Ran drove the car back to the entrance of the abandoned building, he found Selsi raising his hand from a distance.

He was waiting behind a window on the first floor with his gun drawn.

"What just happened?" Selsi asked loudly.

"It's just a few wolves, we've all been dealt with."

Wei Ran responded loudly, temporarily comforting the young man, then pushed the door and got out of the car, untied the tree top at the rear of the car, and untied the rope on the first floor door. Only then, under Selsi's gaze,

The car drove in.

"Is it true that no one was injured?" Cersi waited until the engine was turned off and then immediately came over to confirm again.

"Of course not." Wei Ran jumped out of the cab and pointed to the back of the car, "The wolves that were killed are still inside."

"I'll help you unload them!" After Sersi finished speaking, he had already placed the rifle in his hand in the corner.

"Why don't you continue to sleep for a while?" Wei Ran asked looking at this energetic young man.

"No, I was already awake when you set off." As Selsi spoke, she quickly climbed into the cargo compartment and threw out the firewood that still smelled of rosin.

If someone was willing to help, Wei Ran would naturally have no problem with it, so he simply took a motorcycle saw, pushed the door open and walked outside. He also trimmed the treetops he brought back and sawed them into a size suitable for burning.

Leaving all the transportation work to Selsi, Wei Ran took the gun and cautiously approached the building where the truck was found later.

He clearly remembered that when Mine No. 52 was still in operation, this building seemed to be a dormitory for nurses in the hospital. Although he had not been in it at that time, he at least knew that the nurses, including Zhuo Ya, and the general staff of Mine No. 52

Some female staff members lived in this building at the time.

Silently opening the safety of the rifle in his hand, Wei Ran moved forward cautiously. However, when he looked inside through the crack in the door, he found that it was empty. There was neither a car that was discovered later nor any wild animals that had entered.

Mark of.

He picked up the chain wrapped around the door handle and the lock and took a look at it, but he frowned. The chain and the padlock looked too new. Not only could there be no trace of rust on them, but there was also no trace of rust on the chain.

There is even some sludge left.

Obviously, it is impossible for them to be like the building itself, which has been forgotten here for more than ten years.

He lowered his head and searched near the gate. Finally, when he kicked away a piece of snow, he found a rusty chain and a padlock that was still locked on it.

After patiently searching around, Wei Ran finally picked up half of the chain steel ring that Lazy waist had cut short.

He lightly scratched the iron-covered door with the still-sharp stubble. Wei Ran sneered and threw the pieces back to their original places, then picked up the snow from a distance and buried them underneath again.

.

Carrying a gun and returning to the abandoned hospital, Wei Ran calmly found two thin wires from the cab, returned to the locked building, easily picked the padlock, and carefully pushed open the door.

Compared to the abandoned hospital where they were stationed yesterday, the lobby on the first floor of this building looked much cleaner, at least there wasn't much random trash on the ground.

Rather than attribute the reason to the fact that this place was once a girls' dormitory, Wei Ran was obviously more willing to believe that the reason why this place looked clean was because someone had carefully cleaned it not long ago.

Wei Ran carefully inspected the room on the first floor, and Wei Ran once again saw various Soviet mines piled up in a certain room. But unlike later generations, these mines are still installed on slats one by one.

Inside the box, it was even covered with an extra thick canvas.

In addition, this room also contains items such as shovels, pickaxes, and even metal detectors and mine detectors.

Not only that, there is also a hand-drawn plan posted on the wall of this room. This plan not only details the distribution of the shacks in Prisoner of War Camp No. 52, but even numbers them.

In addition, most of the shacks were marked with X's with red chalk. Only the furthest ones were left without any markings.

Looking back at the metal detector installed in the crate, Wei Ran already had some understanding in his heart, turned around and left the room, walking along the stairs to the second floor.

Soon, when he walked into a room where he could see the statues outside and the ruins of the shack, he immediately saw a row of mud statues made of lake mud placed against the wall of the room.

A simple stove transformed from a tin bucket.

On each of these stoves, there is a small aluminum alloy pot or an enamel kettle. On the iron frame bed next to the wall, there are also neatly placed stacks of enamel dinner plates and even enamel jars, even when they are

When I opened the towel covering a large enamel plate, I also found a large handful of tachyons spread on it!

Wei Ran gently counted the number of tachyons under the towel, and then counted the number of enamel plates and enamel cups. Wei Ran found that these were just enough for 12 people.

After thinking for a moment, he restored the things inside to their original state, then cleaned up the footprints he left, and even blew a new layer of dust up before entering the next room.

"Did the devil really come?"

Wei Ran couldn't help but frowned. There were only ten iron frame beds in this room. Each bed was covered with a thick piece of light green cotton.

Gently lifting up the dusty canvas, the bed was not only covered with a fairly thick bedding, but also a pillow at the head of the bed. Beside the white pillow, there was also a metal flashlight and a box of bullets.
