In the hidden space of the basement, he could hear the rustling noises outside getting smaller and smaller. Wei Ran immediately took out the small oxygen bottle that had already lost pressure from the gas mask bag, and took a heavy large liquid oxygen bottle from under the bed.

The bottle was pulled out and carried to the bed, and the buttocks were raised a little higher.

After searching around, he successfully pulled out a rubber tube with joints on both sides from a wooden box filled with woolen shirts and underwear under the bed.

Connect one end to the liquid oxygen bottle and the other end to the small oxygen bottle. As the valves of the two cylinders were opened in turn, with a hissing sound, the pressure gauge pointer began to move slowly, and the interface

Frost gradually began to form everywhere, and the small oxygen bottle held by Wei Ran gradually became heavier.

When the pointer on the pressure gauge entered the red zone, he immediately closed the valves of the large and small cylinders, and disconnected the rubber tube with a hissing sound of deflation. The brightness of the David lamp hanging on the wall behind him also increased slightly for a moment, and then continued again.

The original brightness was restored.

Putting away the small oxygen bottle and carrying the large oxygen bottle back under the bed to restore it to its original state, Wei Ran reached out and took out a set of woolen shirts and underwear from the box, looked at them, took off his clothes and put them on himself without any pressure.

.

After putting on his clothes and pants again to warm up his body, he finally had the guts to take a diving suit off his head and take a look.

It has to be said that Spier's "bag licking" skills are indeed good. This casually taken off diving suit has no shortage of parts, especially on the left arm, which also has a Pena Sheath fixed on it.

A diving knife produced by Haihai, and a diving watch also from this company is fixed on the right wrist.

But at the same time, he also noticed that the diving suit seemed to have a lot of damage, and they were all repaired in a way similar to repairing tires on bicycles.

How the hell does this work...

Wei Ran grinned, and couldn't help but have the slightest doubt about Spear's plan.

Just at this moment, there was another rustling noise outside, and a moment later, Vanessa came in holding a flashlight.

"What did they say?" Wei Ran asked casually.

“Nothing said”

Vanessa said angrily, "They were so busy getting into bed that they didn't even have time to close the door."

After saying that, the girl also noticed Wei Ran's diving suit left on the bed. She came over to look at it and asked, "Victor, can you dive?"

"You know how?" Wei Ran asked back.

"of course"

Vanessa replied matter-of-factly, "Spiel taught me and my sister before, and last summer, he took us to St. Malo for diving. What about you? Can you do it?"

"It's not a big problem," Wei Ran said ambiguously, "Speer also used to dive often?"

"He just graduated from the Meteorological College the year before last, and diving seems to be a required course for them."

Vanessa said with admiration, "If it weren't for the war, he would have been sent to work in the Arctic, but now he can only guard this broken lighthouse."

"How did he meet Heidi?" Wei Ran continued to expand on this topic.

"In the summer of my college year, my sister and I went on vacation to Nice, and he worked as a surfing instructor on the coast where we were vacationing."

Just as the chat was progressing, a rapid whistle and the sound of submachine gun fire suddenly came from outside the lighthouse.

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Vanessa's hearts sank. Within half a minute, Heidi hurried into the basement carrying a bag. Behind her, the entrance to the basement was blocked by Spier outside with wooden boards and oil drums.

.

"What's going on?" Vanessa asked in a low voice.

"have no idea"

Heidi put down the bag in her hand and explained in a low voice, "It seemed that a group of Germans were chasing someone just now. When we looked out the window, we only saw a few flashlight beams swaying on the beach, and the Germans

What are you shooting with a submachine gun?"

At this point, Heidi had already opened the bag, first took out three French sticks that could be called weapons, and then took out a small folding saw from the bag for disassembling "weapons".

This was not over yet. Heidi, who still had strawberry marks on her neck, then took out two sets of British army lunch boxes that were probably picked up from Dunkirk and an enamel milk jug with a lid from her bag.

When she opened the lids of these milk cans, they were filled with a bucket full of thick French stew. The British army lunch box opened by Vanessa was filled with dried smoked fish and three sets of cutlery.

.

“Let’s eat something first”

Heidi cut open one of the French sticks with a saw and whispered, "But we'd better make less noise, especially if there are any knocks on the door."

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Vanessa each nodded, took the baguettes Heidi gave them, soaked one end in the hot stewed soup, and waited patiently for it to soften before putting it into their mouths.

.

Sitting side by side on the small bed, which was not very spacious, they each filled their stomachs. Wei Ran stood up on his own initiative and said, "You guys can rest here. There are warm shirts in the box under the bed that you can put on."

"What about you?" Vanessa asked immediately when she saw Wei Ran preparing to walk out.

"I'll go guard outside."

As he spoke, Wei Ran had already picked up the small flashlight that Vanessa had just used, "Get some rest. We are just taking turns to keep watch. I will wake you up when the time comes."

Before he finished speaking, he had already wormed his way out along the narrow passage. The two Heidi sisters looked at each other, and the former said, "You rest in bed..."

"You go to bed"

Before Vanessa finished speaking, she had already dug out two sets of warm shirts and underwear from the box under the bed. After giving one set to Heidi, she asked in a low voice while changing clothes, "You and Spear said you

Are you pregnant?"

"not yet"

Heidi, who was also changing her clothes, shook her head, "How could I tell him this at this time? If I did, he would definitely find a way to stay."

"But..."

"I'm not even sure I'm pregnant yet."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Heidi said first, "In short, don't tell Spear about this before arriving in the UK. And Vanessa, if we can escape to the UK,

It’s a good thing for both us and the unborn child, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, Vanessa opened her mouth, and finally nodded without saying anything else.

At the same time, Wei Ran, who was hiding outside, sighed silently and used the beam of his flashlight to observe the basement filled with debris.

Because of the structural characteristics of the lighthouse itself, which is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, the area of ​​the basement is naturally much larger than the small room at the top. Of course, there are all kinds of debris accumulated in it.

In addition to the oil drums that can be seen from time to time, there are also various broken furniture, old wooden boards, rolls of canvas, bundles of rope, and even a pair of boats that look to weigh three to four hundred kilograms.

An anchor, and several boxes of rusty nails.

What made him even more unexpected was that he also found a dozen bottles of wine covered with dust on the bottom of a rather retro-looking wooden shelf in the corner, as well as several wine glasses that were also covered with dust and two rusty wine glasses.

A stained bottle opener.

He casually pulled out a bottle and wiped the dust off it. Wei Ran couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the broken trademark on it. This was a bottle of brandy, a brandy bottled in 1920.

I picked up another bottle and looked at it. It was still brandy, and it was bottled in the same year.

Could it be left by the lighthouse keeper back then?

While Wei Ran was muttering, he took out the gas mask bag without any delay, put one bottle into the bag, and successfully recovered the metal book.

He randomly found a bundle of canvas and sat down. Wei Ran put the flashlight aside and wiped the dust off the wine bottle. Then he used the corkscrew he found together to open the bottle of brandy that had been aged for 20 years and blew on the bottle.

took a sip.

He really needed a drink now - it wasn't really that warm in this slightly humid basement.

After taking two gulps of wine, Wei Ran decisively corked the bottle, unfolded the bundle of canvas that was filled with a strong musty smell, wrapped it around him and lay down against a broken table.

Not long after, Wei Ran, who was keeping vigil in name but actually just to make room for rest, fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the oil drums at the entrance to the basement were being moved away. Seeing this, he immediately opened the canvas and at the same time took out the seized PPK pistol from the metal book.

Fortunately, as the wooden board was lifted, only Spear was standing outside.

"Heidi? Victor? Fanny..." Spear shouted at the top of his voice amidst the roar of the plane rumbling outside.

"I am here"

Wei Ran responded in a low voice and used the light coming from the first floor to avoid the debris in the basement.

"I brought breakfast. Sorry, it's still stew."

Spier said, handing a milk can wrapped in cloth to Wei Ran, and then handed over two cloth bundles, "Your clothes and shoes have also been dried."

"Thanks"

While Wei Ran took these things, Heidi also came over from behind carrying the milk can that had been stewed last night.

"What happened last night?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice while passing the things in his hands.

"It seems that someone was planning to drive a boat out to sea along the A River but was discovered."

While taking the empty milk can from Weihan, Spear explained in a low voice, "I looked through the binoculars just now. It seemed that they were a family of three. Their bodies were dumped on the beach. The boat was also destroyed by the Germans in the morning.

Burnt down."

"God..."

When Heidi heard the horrific news, she couldn't help but cross herself on her chest, and a look of uncontrollable horror appeared on her face.
