Chapter 1674 Vasily’s Mailbox(1/2)
"Are you crazy?! You want to fish with it?"
In the forest, Ruslan watched in panic as Wei Yan continued to look for can bombs. Then he dropped the saw and the rope dragging the sledge and ran towards the camp, shouting at the same time.
, "I'm going to tell Father Seryosha!"
"It's useless even if you tell Captain Qin, I'll blow up the fish today."
Wei Ran muttered something. After looking around, he bent down and picked up another box of cans and threw them into his bag. At the same time, he was also thinking about the one that blew up half of Igor's hand last night.
There is a high probability that it is not a can bomb, but the butterfly bomb we just encountered.
In other words, in order to prevent more people from being injured, he may need to find a way to eliminate the butterfly bombs he encounters.
After making up his mind, he simply picked up the saw that Ruslan had just thrown away. After searching for it, he sawed a "Y"-shaped branch from a birch tree.
"We still need two rubber bands and one piece of leather..." When Wei Ran was weighing the branch in his hand, Seryosha had already run over with Ruslan.
"Comrade Victor, Ruslan said you..."
"That's right"
Wei Ran stuffed the branch he had just sawed into his arms, "I picked up a lot of canned bombs and am going to try to see if I can use them to fry some fish."
"Are you sure?" Seryosha asked a question after a moment of silence that even Ruslan couldn't believe.
"Ninety percent"
Wei Ran returned the saw to Ruslan and said, "I guess the last reporter who was killed in the bombing probably wanted to do the same thing."
"But he is dead, blown up by a can bomb." Ruslan reminded him as he took the saw.
"Journalism is just my side job"
Wei Ran smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, "I'm sure about this, but I still need you to do me a favor."
"What's the business?" Seryozha asked without thinking.
"I need some can openers and some rope, and I also need the wooden strips removed from the ammunition box. These are very important."
Wei Ran said seriously, "Also, I may need to ask Olga to borrow two rubber infusion tubes, and I also need a small piece of cowhide."
"If you are sure and can catch fish, these are not problems." Seryosha immediately made a promise, "I will personally prepare what you need."
"Thanks"
Wei Ran thanked him politely, "Ruslan, if you find a can bomb somewhere, please notify me, but please don't pick it up yourself."
"You are a madman"
Ruslan paused, "I know where there are can bombs. There is a whole box of can bombs. Come with me."
"Walk"
Wei Ran took steps without thinking and followed the other person into the depths of the forest.
Not long after, he saw a World War II airdrop box hanging on a tree.
The box was almost identical to the one he had seen outside Leningrad, with its white parachute, messy paracords, and the box itself with skis and handles.
Of course, there are also bomb cans piled up like a hill directly below.
"These will definitely be enough..."
Wei Ran sighed while muttering to himself, but turned around and walked back, "Let's go back. When I need it, I will come here to get it."
"Are you really sure?" Ruslan asked worriedly.
"Of course I'm sure, don't worry."
Wei Ran said firmly that he was really sure of this kind of thing, as all the marlezi in Baiyangdian that failed to explode could testify.
Returning to the camp with Ruslan who was almost following him, Seryosha had already found everything he needed and was waiting at the door of his shack.
Not only him, but also Olga, the female nurse, and old Ivan and little Sasha, who are responsible for fishing, are also there.
"The preparations are a bit dangerous, everyone should go back first." Wei Ran said, "I will inform everyone when I am ready."
"Victor, we don't want another reporter to be killed here." Seryosha reminded.
"certainly"
Wei Ran nodded and took what the other party handed him.
"Old Ivan, Sasha, leave the fishing work to our journalist comrades, you and Ruslan go collect firewood." Seryosha gave the order, "Olga, you can leave too."
After receiving the order, Olga and others glanced at Wei Ran, and finally turned around and walked away.
"How was the harvest near the plane that fell yesterday?"
Wei Ran asked, looking at the other person's frightened eyes and throwing the bag full of can bombs on the snow on the side of the door.
"I only picked up one fish," Seryosha said regretfully, "and it's not that big."
"Dad, it's time for you to leave." Wei Ran reminded him as he pulled out a can bomb.
Hearing this, Xie Liaosha was stunned for a moment, patted Wei Ran's shoulder lightly, turned and walked away.
Seeing this, Wei Ran picked up the things the other party had prepared for him, took the can bomb he had just dug out, turned around and got into the shack.
The things Seryozha prepared for his help were sufficient and complete, including a can opener, two rubber infusion tubes nearly half a meter long, a ball of parachute rope, and a bundle of wooden boards less than ten centimeters wide, one centimeter thick, and at most half a meter long.
In addition to the strips, there is also a palm-sized piece of soft cowhide. Judging from the material and color, it seems to have been cut from someone's boots.
After making the fire in the fireplace a little brighter, Wei Ran lit the kerosene lamp, then took out two wooden strips and placed them on the upper and lower ends of the can, and tied them tightly with paracord.
After finishing the preparations, he directly picked up the can opener and started cutting along the edge of one end of the can.
Soon, only the part of the can lid that was held down by the wooden slats was still connected.
Carefully, he turned the wooden slats holding down the can lid to a certain angle like the pointer of a north needle. He picked up the can opener again and cut open the remaining connected parts of the can lid bit by bit.
Gently lifting the iron sheet at the corner, Wei Ran frowned involuntarily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the first time he has actually dismantled a can bomb, but it actually contains large pieces of meat and potatoes with solidified lard.
piece.
This was really too vicious a temptation for the hungry Leningrad people.
Starving to death, or being able to eat a mouthful of meat before being blown to death, it is not difficult to imagine how people with weak willpower and suffering from hunger would make choices.
Without trying to pick out the pieces of meat inside, Wei Ran picked up a piece of paracord again and wound the two wooden boards together in a circle around one end of the can. However, he did not tie the knot, nor did he hurry to untie it.
Open the knot you tied before.
"This thing is pretty good. It can fry fish and it also comes with bait for making nests."
Wei Ran muttered in amusement, then without any further delay, he held the end of the rope, picked up the can sandwiched between the wooden slats, stood up and walked out of the shack.
Looking at Seryosha standing in the distance, Wei Ran waved and said loudly, "Let's go try it!"
"Come with me!"
Father Seryozha immediately greeted him and led Wei Ran towards the ice at the edge of the island.
Soon, he saw Seryozha personally pulling away the pine branches blocking the ice cave, and using a stick to stir up the hole full of ice.
"Stay away!"
Wei Ran shouted a reminder. After hearing this, Father Seryozha immediately ran away, but he reminded him uneasily, "The ice is very slippery! Please pay attention to your safety!"
"Know!"
Wei Ran responded with the same loud voice before walking to the edge of the ice cave.
After stepping on the thick ice and looking at the shore more than ten meters away, Wei Ran also saw a paratrooper's gravity knife in his hand.
With a soft click, the sharp stainless steel blade was thrown out. Without hesitation, he cut off the knotted rope, then threw the can bomb into the ice hole and ran towards the shore.
Except for almost slipping along the way, there was still no explosion behind him until he ran to the edge of the artillery position.
"Is it possible that the rope was wrapped too many times?"
Wei Ran hid behind a bunker made of ice and snow, lit a cigarette and thought to himself about ways to improve it, "Wrap the rope less turns, and it's best to tie a piece of wood to the end of the rope to use buoyancy to increase the pulling force.
Yes, it would be best to tie a stone to the other side of the board to make it sink deeper..."
"What are you talking about?" Father Seryosha, who was also hiding here, asked, "Why hasn't that can bomb exploded yet?"
"Maybe it needs to be changed..."
"boom!"
Before Wei Ran could finish his words, there was an explosion in the direction of the ice cave. Immediately afterwards, with the ice cave as the center and a radius of more than five meters, all the ice blocks were shattered, and the location of the ice cave also spewed water.
A water arrow flew seven or eight meters into the air!
In the cold mist that was rising as the lake water crashed to the ground in the form of small ice beads, a girl was the first to hear a clear and surprised shout from the sentry tower: "Fish! I saw fish! There are several of them!"
"
"Victor! You have done a great job!"
Before Seryozha finished speaking, he was the first to rush out of the artillery bunker with a handful of nets!
"My highest achievement is that one bundle of marle seeds exploded to 50 kilograms of fish..."
Wei Ran murmured in his native language, but did not rush out. Instead, he slowly took out the suitcase in his backpack, picked up the gun camera, and used a telephoto lens to cover the surprised man in the sentry tower.
