Chapter 1361 Balloon(2/2)

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then what?" Wei Ran asked.

"Major Schubert and I and Dr. Yoger set up this tent."

Dr. Cross explained, "He also asked me to wait for the blizzard to stop, and then immediately raise the weather balloon and oil lamp to guide them in the direction. Then the major took Dr. Yoger to find the three of you. By the way, he also took

Got some weather balloons!"

"Three people disappeared together?" Wei Ran frowned involuntarily.

"Victor, have you really not met them?" Dr. Cross asked worriedly.

"No." Wei Ran shook his head, "I haven't met any of them."

Seeing Dr. Cross' expression becoming more and more panicked, Wei Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Dr. Cross, are you missing something here? Food or anything else. Also, how is your physical condition?"

"Nothing is lacking. I don't lack anything here. There are enough supplies here." Dr. Cross said quickly, "My physical condition is not bad."

"Do you know which direction Major and the others went?" Wei Ran asked again.

"Know!"

Dr. Cross nodded immediately, and then reacted, "Victor, are you planning to go find them?"

"I've found you all, but they haven't come back yet. They must be in danger."

Wei Ran stood up as he spoke and asked again, "Where are they going?"

Gritting his teeth, Dr. Chris stood up and walked out of the tent. He raised his hand and pointed in one direction and said, "It's in the direction facing the tent door. You can't go wrong."

"Replace me with a team of sled dogs"

As he spoke, Wei Ran had already untied the tarpaulin and ropes on the sleigh, but the only things he carried off were the heavy generator and his suitcase full of film.

"Victor, take these!"

Before he finished speaking, Dr. Cross, who was helping a team of sled dogs, had already taken out four German cans from the tent, and in his other hand was a pot of coffee.

“Forget the coffee”

Wei Ran waved his hand, "Just give me the can, what about you? Do you still have something to eat?"

“There are many”

Cross pointed to a sled cart next to the tent, "We have a lot of cans in our cart."

"Whoever comes back, let them stay and wait."

Wei Ran glanced at the watch on his sleeve, "Before noon tomorrow, I will be back whether I find them or not."

After saying that, without waiting for Dr. Cross to say anything else, he shook the reins vigorously and shouted at the dogs to start galloping in the direction facing the tent.

There is a direction difference of at least 30 degrees between this direction and the direction I just came from. From this, I can also know how far I traveled during the two hours when I was asleep or comatose.

Still relying on the rope behind him and the increasingly difficult-to-identify weather balloons and oil lamps in mid-air to determine the direction, Wei Ran would stop and set up a telescope every time he ran a certain distance to look around the surroundings.

But along the way back, the previous blizzard had covered up all the traces. The only thing he was looking forward to was that he could see the traces he had just left with the sleigh before being covered up by the next blizzard.

See the rising weather balloon.

As time passed by as he walked and stopped, he also paid special attention to the boulders and blue ice passing by around him.

Just as he was disappointed again and again, he heard the barking of dogs in the dark night!

Wei Ran stopped the car subconsciously, took off the oil lamp hanging on the handlebar and adjusted it to the maximum brightness. Then he took off his gloves, put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

Suddenly, the barking of the dogs became more intense, and soon after, a sleigh came running over as he whistled again and again.

However, when he saw this sleigh, he couldn't help but be startled. There was no one driving the sled, but not only was a mountaineering bag and two sleeping bags placed on it, but there were also two locked boxes.

!

It was through these two things that he immediately recognized that this was Major Schubert's sleigh! And at least one of the two boxes contained an Enigma cipher machine!

After securing the sled, Wei Ran immediately opened the bread bag on his waist, grabbed pieces of cooked meat from it and fed it to the dogs on the unmanned sled.

While they were replenishing energy, Wei Ran also rolled up the fur sleeves of his sleeves and glanced at the dial. It was already 21:43, and more than three hours had passed since he said goodbye to Dr. Cross and went out to find someone.

!

After fastening the leather case of his watch, Wei Ran walked to Major Schubert's car and checked the contents of the car. Unexpectedly, he found two keys tied with leather cords on the handlebars.

After a moment's hesitation, he took off the key and opened the two locked wooden boxes on the sled.

In this first box, there is indeed the Enigma cipher machine and several sets of matching rotors, as well as a translation book and a cipher book.

But in the second box, there were some seemingly dispensable personal items.

There is a harmonica, a photo album, a Grimm's Fairy Tales, a can of coffee, a marksmanship badge awarded to the Youth League, and a stack of letters tied with a leather rope.

After locking the box again, Wei Ran thought for a moment and moved all these things to his sled, and then merged the dogs on the sled together to drag a car together.

As for the vacated sled, he turned it upside down and put it on the spot temporarily, and lit an oil lamp filled with fuel and hung it on the upturned tip of the sled.

Without wasting any more time, Wei Ran shouted to the dogs, which doubled in number, and quickly chased them along the sled tracks.

However, he did not expect that this run would take more than two hours. When it was almost midnight, he saw from a distance a group of firelights flickering not far away.

Without hesitation at all, he yelled for the sleigh and ran over. As the distance got closer, he also noticed that it was another sleigh!

Fortunately, there were people in the car this time, and there were two of them!

"Hannuo! Is it you Hannuo!" Wei Ran shouted and asked.

"It's me! Victor! It's me!" the person on the sleigh running diagonally across the street shouted in response.

When the two cars met again, Wei Ran immediately noticed a person lying in the other car.

"It's Mr. Carsten"

Hanno explained, "He has a broken bone. Victor, are you here to see us?"

"Yes and no"

Wei Ran walked up to Carsten, helped him untie his sleeping bag, and then explained what happened before while checking his physical condition.

"It turns out you were separated too," Hanno said in shock.

"What's going on with you guys?"

Wei Ran raised his head and asked. Carsten's injuries were far more serious than imagined. One of his arms and ribs on the same side were fractured, and a deep bone was cut from his cheek to the top of his ear.

of wounds.

"The sleigh driven by Mr. Carsten, who was running in front of me, suddenly deviated from the direction of travel. The skis on one side of his car were broken, and he was also thrown off."

Hanno explained, "When I went to rescue him, I saw your sled running behind us. I thought you were going to tell the major to stop.

But when I helped Carsten to the car and bandaged his wounds, I found that you were no longer there."

"How did you survive the blizzard?"

Wei Ran tightened Carsten's sleeping bag again and asked. Due to the restrictions of the return mission, which required that he could not kill or save others, he had no way, or in other words, no courage to help Carsten treat his wounds.

"We found an ice cave nearby"

Hanno replied, "Thanks to the ice cave, we survived the blizzard. Victor, what's going on now?"

"Now the missing people are the major and the doctor"

Wei Ran said worriedly that under the premise that he had no way to save people, the key to Carsten's survival was whether he could find Dr. Yog.

Looking up at the snowflakes in the wind, Hanno looked around and asked, "Where should we look next?"

"Did you notice the weather balloon on the way here?" Wei Ran looked at each other and asked.

"No," Hanno shook his head, "but I encountered sled tracks on the way."

"Come on, let's go to the place where we found the sleigh prints."

Wei Ran said, unloading a few boxes from Yog's sleigh and placing them on his sleigh.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that their sleds were being dragged by twice as many sled dogs, the weight was nothing at all, and they were even faster than before.

Under the leadership of Hanno, the two vehicles faced the increasingly heavy wind and snow, and soon stopped at the location where he first discovered the sled tracks.

This time, before the two of them got off the car, a team of sled dogs guarding the car was running in another direction under the leadership of a leading dog.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ran immediately shook the reins, causing the dogs from the other team who were preparing to fight with his teammates to start running as well.

Led by the team of dogs that once pulled the cart for Major Schubert, the two sled carts turned around and ran for less than 20 minutes. They saw one after another, not far away, in the air no more than ten meters above the ground.
