When Wei Ran walked into the kitchen, Vlada was cutting aspic made from fish scales, fish guts, fish heads and a small amount of flour that Wei Ran brought.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" Vlada asked enthusiastically. Compared to when Wei Ran first came, her attitude has changed a lot.

"Nothing, come here to see if you need any help." Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand, "I wanted to take some photos of you mother and daughter by the way."

"Leave the film to others." Vlada smiled, "I'm just a cook."

"The fish head soup last night was very delicious." Wei Ran chose a seat and sat down. "Just think of it as chatting with you. Is there anything I can help you make?"

"If you want to help, just watch the fireplace for me."

Vlada said, and Olga also handed Wei Ran a glass of hot water, "Victor, do you think Yulia can survive?"

"If she can be sent to Cobona as soon as possible, there shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Ran took the water glass and replied, "Our conditions here are still too simple."

"I don't know when Father Seryosha will come back," Olga said worriedly.

"He will come back, for sure."

Wei Ran replied in an almost self-hypnotic manner, and then changed the subject, "Aunt Vlada, were you a chef before?"

"certainly!"

Vlada said proudly, "I work in the canteen of the Leningrad Fire Station, and my son is a firefighter there."

"I don't know if my brother is still alive," Olga sighed worriedly.

"I would be happy if he were alive."

Vlada also said as if he was in self-hypnosis, "If he died while putting out a fire or fighting, then I would be very proud."

"He should evacuate with us," Olga couldn't help but say, "If he evacuates with us, maybe we can get Dad out of the ice..."

"Olga, what stupid thing are you saying?"

Vlada scolded, "If he withdraws, who will put out the fire? If everyone withdraws, are we going to give up Leningrad to those French smokers?"

"But..." Olga sighed, "We are also fighting here."

"In this case, it doesn't matter if we withdraw or not."

Vlada continued her work, suppressing her emotions and said, "As long as we can get rid of those magical threads, as long as we can protect our home, even if your brother is sacrificed, even if you are sacrificed, even if I die here,

I am also happy on the island."

When the topic of chatting came to this point, Wei Ran wisely chose to stop and just pointed the camera at them, trying to find an angle from which he could see their faces clearly enough.

"Comrade Journalist"

Vlada asked proactively before Weiran clicked the shutter, "Will your report be published in the newspaper?"

"Yes" Wei Ran replied subconsciously.

"Can people in Leningrad see it?" Vlada continued to ask.

"I'll see." Wei Ran nodded seriously, even though he knew in his heart that this was a lie that could only serve as a comfort.

Hearing this, Vlada stopped what she was doing and said, "In this case, please take a good picture of us. If my child is alive, I hope he can see that we are safe here and living a good life.

"

"I'll take a good picture of you"

Wei Ran stood up as he spoke, found an angle to accommodate the mother and daughter standing side by side with their arms around each other's waists, the large basin of aspic on the table, and as many ingredients as possible, and finally pressed the shutter.

On this island, or for besieged Leningrad, having enough food means living well. Even if "enough food" is just a string of fish heads and fish entrails in aspic

.

Almost at the same time he put down the camera, the air raid warning whistle sounded again outside.

Without even bothering to say hello, Wei Ran immediately rushed out of the shack and ran to the open space at the edge of the forest, looking up at the sky.

"North-west! Four planes! Attention! North-west! Four planes!" Yuri on the guard tower shouted at the top of his lungs, and the artillery position not far away was immediately prepared.

However, Weiyan soon realized something was wrong. The planes getting closer and closer in the sky did not seem to be preparing to lower their altitude.

Because of this, the artillery commanded by Jonja never fired, and it was impossible to hit at this height.

"Be careful! It's a high-altitude bomb drop!"

Zonya, Wei Ran, and Yuri on the tree shouted reminders almost at the same time.

But Zionya and her gun crew did not leave the artillery. Instead, they flattened the barrel as quickly as possible to avoid losses. As for pulling the artillery closer to the forest, it was too late at this time.

Almost as Zionya and others, as well as Wei Ran who came over to help, covered the artillery with camouflage cloth, the distinctive whistle sound of falling aerial bombs was heard in the sky.

But even at this time, Yuri still did not come down from the tree, but continued to loudly report the situation in the sky.

"Careful! It's a butterfly bomb!"

Amidst the roar of the aircraft getting closer and closer, Yuri made a firm judgment. He had already seen the launchers splitting in the air, as well as the dense butterfly bombs falling like dandelions!

"It's right above the position! Get into the shack! Hurry!"

Yuri shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the same time he grabbed the rope and slid down as fast as possible.

After being reminded, the people who were originally hiding in the artillery bunker did not dare to delay. They immediately rushed out and squeezed into the shack that served as the operating room with Yuri in no particular order.

In fact, without any discussion, everyone tacitly lay down at the table and used the upper part of their bodies to protect Yulia, who was still unconscious.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Almost at the same time, there were one after another volleying explosions outside the shack, as well as the sound of shrapnel embedded in tree trunks, or knocking on metal objects.

Amidst the sounds of these explosions, the roar of aircraft in the sky gradually moved away towards the ice road, but the whistle of falling aerial bombs did not stop.

"Everyone, please stay away from the door."

As Wei Ran said this, he walked carefully to the door and looked out through the breathable window.

What's terrible is that right at the door of their shack, he saw a butterfly bomb falling on the trampled snow.

What's even worse is that he has no way of telling whether the bomb is scheduled to detonate or whether it will explode when touched.

But he only knew clearly that he had to dispose of the bomb as soon as possible, otherwise the thin door panel of this shack would not be able to block the bomb fragments.

"You all lie down, and ask Yulia to lie down on the ground as much as possible."

As he spoke, Wei Ran took off the backpack he had been carrying, used the cover to pull out the engineer shovel, and then handed the backpack to Andre behind him.

"Let me go," Andre said, "I..."

"You bastard, stay away."

As Wei Ran spoke, he carefully opened the door of the shack. After a careful inspection to make sure there were no other bombs at the door, he immediately walked out, then shoveled a shovelful of snow from a distance, and carefully

Stacked between the butterfly bomb and the door of the shack.

Under his intense busyness, the snow wall less than half a meter high was soon piled up to more than one meter thick.

After looking at the roof of the shack, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no butterfly bomb on the roof of the shack.

Turning around and getting into the shack, he picked up a pot of warm water that was going to be used to steam surgical instruments, and carefully poured it on the snow wall that had just been piled up. Then he picked up an enamel jar that belonged to someone who didn't know who it was, and filled it with snow.

Carefully placed it on the edge of the snow wall.

"Everyone lie down"

Wei Ran glanced back, then took out a small pebble from his pocket, then took out the slingshot in his arms, lay down at the door of the shack and aimed at the enamel jar filled with snow.

He was only lucky that there was a gap of several steps between the snow nest and the ground, otherwise everyone would really have no choice but to take the risk and leave.

After taking aim for a moment, he loosened his grip on the leather bag.

"Crack!"

The stone accurately hit the enamel jar less than two meters away. Wei Ran also lay on the ground at the same time and covered his head with his hands.

"Bang!"

In the dull explosion, the snow wall he had just worked so hard to pile up exploded under the force of the shock wave. Large and small pieces of snow and fragments mixed in between also banged on the doors, windows and even his head of the shack.

superior.

Carefully, he raised his head and glanced in front and behind him. Wei Ran, whose ears were ringing from the shock, turned around and asked loudly, "Is anyone hurt?"

"No! No one was hurt!" Jonia replied loudly in the shack.

"Don't come out yet"

Wei Ran shouted a reminder, but he got up, holding the slingshot and carefully observing the surroundings.

Soon, he discovered the second, third and more butterfly bombs!

Without walking far at all, he lay down on the steps leading up from the entrance of the shack as a cover, raised the slingshot again, and detonated the dangerous butterfly bombs around him one by one.

In the explosions one after another, the butterfly bombs around the shacks were cleared one after another. However, around the camp, there were sudden and timed explosions of butterfly bombs from time to time, shaking down a lot of snow and making everyone's hearts move.

It hung up a little bit - the roar of the German planes came back!

In another round of whistles, Wei Yan clearly saw that another bomb was dropped by those aircraft from a high altitude outside the range.

The only thing he was lucky about was that the landing point of those bombs was most likely not on this island.

"Victor, we need to get back to the artillery position as soon as possible!"

Behind her, Jonja shouted, "The German bombers will be coming soon!"

"Wait a mininute!"

Weiran no longer delayed and continued to clear the butterfly bombs from the operating room to the artillery position.

But as the distance got closer and the aiming distance increased, he discovered that there were actually two butterfly bombs scattered near the artillery position!

One of the two bombs landed on the edge of the snow wall serving as a bunker, and the other slipped from the edge of the camouflage net and landed less than half a meter away from the artillery tires!

There is no doubt that no matter which branch explodes, it will pose a huge threat to the only weapon on the island.

"Come and help!"

Wei Ran no longer cared about the danger at this time, and said as he walked into the position, "I need you to pull the artillery out! And fast!"
