Soon, Zoya fetched a snow shovel, an engineer shovel and an ice pick, but Saveli never let the metal detector in his hand make an abnormal sound again.

"Be careful when digging, it might be a bomb."

Wei Ran kindly reminded Zoya, who was working hard to clean up the snow, and quickly made her movements a lot gentler.

Soon after, where the three swaying headlamps gathered together, the thick snow was dug up one after another.

The gravel and fallen leaves and branches frozen together by the ice are harder than cement at this low temperature. Even if Saveli took the risk and used all his strength to knock the ice pick up, he only left a small stone.

Just build a small, limited pit that is bigger.

"There is no other choice but to make a fire like the last time we dug up the body." Saveli said, throwing aside the ice pick in his hand.

"I'm going to move the fire!" Zoya ran towards the tent again before she finished speaking.

"Victor, how did you discover this place?" Saveli asked with admiration.

"I'm collecting firewood"

Wei Ran pointed to the small electric saw he hung on the branch of the tree, "I almost saw it off."

"That makes sense. Should we saw it off?" Saveli asked, pointing to the hand drill above his head.

"Not urgent"

Wei Ran quickly stopped the other party, "It's best to leave this here for the time being. It would be meaningless if it was sawed off."

Obviously, Saveli didn't understand the meaning of Wei Ran's so-called "meaningless", but he did not refute it. Instead, he nodded happily, picked up the snow shovel, and cleared away the surrounding snow.

Frozen ground surface.

After he finished his work, Zoya also brought over a small half bucket of red-hot charcoal in an iron bucket and poured it on the marked location. Wei Ran also immediately placed the firewood he had just collected on the charcoal fire.

Seeing the fire starting, for safety reasons, the three people and the dog Akechi hid in a tent in the distance, poured a cup of hot coffee around the lit wood stove and waited patiently.

In the various magical guesses of Zoya and Saveli, the faint glow on the skyline was once again replaced by the surging aurora. The three people and one dog who had already warmed their whole bodies came to the big tree again.

Next, remove the fire and dig out the melted gravel and mud bit by bit until you can no longer dig it out, then move the bonfire back again.

They worked like this back and forth for almost two hours. As the ice pick dug out the first piece of frozen soil, they finally got something.

However, what was dug out this time was not anything the three of them expected. Instead, it was just a crowbar, a crowbar that was about seventy centimeters long and covered in rust.

"There's something else in here"

Before she finished speaking, Zoya had already put her hand into the pit and tried to pull it. Then she retracted her hand and said, "It can't be pulled."

"Looks like a mortar ammunition box"

Wei Ran glanced at the metal handle vaguely exposed at the bottom of the pit, and said cautiously, "We can't use fire anymore. It would be dangerous if there are really mortar shells inside."

"Can't we wait until summer to come here?" Zoya asked unwillingly.

"Let's go back"

As Wei Ran spoke, he already turned back with the crowbar, "Heat some more hot water and find some stones to burn red. Let's wash them out!"

"That's a good idea!" Saveli's eyes lit up, and he obviously understood Wei Ran's plan.

It took almost another hour, as buckets of boiling water were poured down, and red-hot stones were thrown in. The pit finally softened, and smelly mud gushed out.

When the water temperature in the pit cooled down and the three men scooped it out, there was no need to dig at all this time, and the iron box was easily lifted out.

"You two stay away"

Saveli said before Weiyan, "I have experience in handling explosives. If I get injured, Zoya, do you bring a medical kit with you?"

"Take it with me"

Zoya hesitated for a moment and then said firmly, obviously trusting her husband and her husband, so she suppressed the worries in her heart.

With the same slight hesitation, Wei Ran followed Zoya obediently and retreated some distance away, hiding behind a big rock.

Less than ten minutes later, Saveri shouted, "Come here!"

"What is it?" Zoya asked impatiently.

"Looks like a grenade"

Saveli said, "Anyway, let Victor come over and take a look. These grenades should not be dangerous at the moment."

When he finished speaking, Wei Ran also walked over and saw that the open metal box was filled with 30 egg-shaped grenades, one after another!

"M39 grenade"

Wei Ran frowned when he recognized the types of these grenades. The fuse caps of these M39 grenades were all conspicuously red!

Watching Zoya try to take one out for a look, Wei Ran and Saveli grabbed her arm in no particular order.

"Don't touch them"

Wei Ran dragged Gouzi away and reminded him, "Those grenades are very dangerous. Look at those red fuse caps. They all use instant-explosion fuses used to lay booby traps."

As soon as he said this, Saveli immediately pulled Zoya and ran away, hiding behind the boulder faster than Wei Ran and the dog he was holding. Then the two people began to urge Zouya, who was holding the dog.
Chapter completed!
