On the night they arrived in the polar town of Tula, Wei Ran and others checked into a guest room on the third floor. To his expectation, the guest rooms of such an inconspicuous small hotel looked even more comfortable than some hotels in Kazan.

.

Although the facilities are a bit outdated, every room here actually has a fireplace that can actually be lit and is also covered with furry animal skin carpets.

Forget it, even the big solid wood bed is bigger and more comfortable than most hotel beds that Weiran has stayed in. In addition, this room not only has a washing machine and dryer, but also a bathroom large enough for two people to sit side by side.

There is a bathtub with a massage function for lying down, and even a large-screen TV and supporting game console.

This is a remote town on the banks of the Lower Tunguska River. It is not a tourist attraction or city center in big European cities. There may not be any outsiders coming here at ordinary times, so naturally there will not be much demand for hotels. In this case

, is it necessary to prepare such luxury?

Fortunately, the answer to this question was found instantly when the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were opened. Because from here, you can just see the lights of the helicopter landing pad in the center of the town that are lit up all night.

Obviously, these rooms are probably not prepared for miners or lumberjacks. This exactly explains why a letter of introduction is required to stay in such a humble tavern.

After closing the curtains again, Wei Ran walked into the spacious bathroom at Suisui's warm invitation, ready to experience the large and amazing bathtub together.

At the same time, in the room next to them, the Katenka sisters were also amazed at the speed of the Internet here and the various high-end skin care products found in the bathroom.

After resting one night in this elegant tavern, it was not until about ten o'clock the next morning that chatty Dmitry knocked on the door of Wei Ran and others' room and took them to the hotel parked at the door.

A van left the town along the snow-covered streets heading north.

It was still a slag road in the forest covered with snow and wrapped in coniferous forest. But after driving no more than four or five kilometers, an open space wrapped in barbed wire suddenly appeared in front of us.

Looking at it, this open space is at least two hundred meters square. Although the surrounding barbed wire fence is rusty and even covered with frost, it is a full three meters high, and there are still three or five placed on the inside of the barbed wire fence.

A container was erected about one meter high. Some of the containers even had debris such as used tires placed on them.

Not to mention that, far away, they heard the menacing low barking of dogs. The dog Beria, who was originally lying at Wei Ran's feet, also struggled to stand up, stuck out his butt, and pointed out the car door and let out a bark.

A childish roar.

It wasn't until Dmitri stepped on the brakes outside the barbed wire fence that Wei Ran looked at the wooden house and tin workshop inside the barbed wire fence and asked, "What is this place?"

"The vehicle maintenance plant in the Tunguska Coalfield, of course, also provides vehicle rental services. If you pay enough, even large mining trucks can be rented."

While explaining, Dmitri also pressed the car horn. Immediately afterwards, an old man holding a pipe leaned out of the wooden house.

"Old Peter, it's me!" Dmitri stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, "Lock up your children quickly."

"Wait a moment!"

The old man with the pipe in his mouth responded angrily, turned around and took out a large pot of bones and meat from the room, and while blowing the whistle, he led the dogs into a container.

"This picture looks a bit familiar." Wei Ran couldn't help but look at the dog at his feet who was still sticking out his butt and growling. This little thing's parents were also raised in a container.

"I was just thinking about where I had seen it before." As she spoke, Suisui had already picked up the two front legs of Beria, the dog, and swung it left and right to distract it.

Of course, compared to this little thing who doesn't know how to be afraid, the two big-eared foxes have been hiding in the arms of the Katenka sisters since they left the house. At most, their noses or ears poked out from their collars.

After waiting patiently for the old guy named Peter to come out of the container with the empty basin, close the container door and open the gate of the barbed wire fence, Dmitri stepped on the accelerator again and drove the car in.

When they were outside, they couldn't see clearly because of the obstruction of the containers, but after coming in, Wei Ran and others discovered that the open space turned out to be like a large parking lot, with various cars parked in rows.

.

Even in the metal workshop where the noise was constantly coming from, there was a MAZ537 heavy-duty tractor truck that was changing tires.

"Don't you have a flight today?" Old Peter asked as he walked into the cabin after Dmitri opened the door.

"Sergey and Tasha will be on duty for the next week."

While replying, Dmitri handed the letter of introduction he had just received from Wei Ran to Old Peter, and warmly greeted everyone to follow them to the wooden house, explaining constantly, "I

I have reception work, and I came here today to take them to pick out some transportation."

"let me see"

After old Peter walked into the wooden house, he picked up a pair of reading glasses from the table and put them on. He went to the bedside and read the letter of introduction sent by Dmitri carefully by the light. Then he opened the locked drawer solemnly and opened the

He took out a seal, stamped it on the letter of introduction, then picked up a pen and signed his name and time.

After locking the seal again, the serious old guy got up and opened the iron cabinet against the wall, pulled out a folder, put the letter of introduction in and locked it. Then he picked up the intercom hanging on the wall and shouted, "

Old man, blow the snow away, and someone will pick up the car and blow it all away."

"Wait a moment." A simple and honest voice responded on the intercom and then there was no movement.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You're welcome, just find a place to sit by yourself."

Old Peter motioned Wei Ran to sit down, slowly took out a few cups from the cabinet, and made Wei Ran and others a cup of cheap instant coffee each.

"Wait a minute, it will take some time."

Old Peter picked up the dog that was sniffing around the house and said, "This little guy looks good. What's his name?"

"Beria" Wei Ran responded with a smile. The picked up dog also struggled to run back to Wei Ran when he heard his name.

"This name is really scary"

Old Peter gently pinched the dog's mouth and pinched its thick paws, then let go and said in a sincere tone, "Take good care of it, this little guy will become a big man in the future."

Before Wei Ran could say anything, the roar of the engine could be heard outside the room. Even this roar easily drowned out the conversations in the room, as well as Beria's yelling at Old Peter with his fat ass raised.

Standing up and walking to the door, Wei Ran pushed the thick door open a gap, and then saw that a snow blower modified with MAZ535 was already at work.

Amidst the deafening roar, the wind provided by the extra aircraft turbofan engine carried by this behemoth easily blew away the snow on the ground and the body, leaving only a clean concrete road five meters wide behind it.

.

After closing the door again, Wei Ran tried to say something, but found that even he could not hear his own voice clearly. Dmitri spread his hands, took out a bag of disposable earplugs from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.

After sitting in the wooden house and waiting for almost twenty minutes, the roar outside the room suddenly stopped. Old Peter also opened the door and walked out and said, "Okay, now you can choose a car."

"Let's go." Wei Ran took out the earplugs and put them in his pocket, and Suisui also let go of the dog ears that she had been covering tightly just now.

The group of people followed Old Peter out of the room and walked along the clean concrete floor to the parking lot. At the same time, they listened to his simple and direct explanation beside him, "You can borrow any car here. Since you have introduced it,

I have received a letter, so I won’t charge rent, but you need to refuel yourself. Of course, the gas here is not expensive, and if you have extra letters of introduction, it might be cheaper to refuel.”

"Dmitri, what do you recommend?" Wei Ran asked the question to the chatterbox who brought them here.

“Those with tires are not as good as those with tracks.”

Dmitri replied very simply, "The one with tracks is not as good as the one with propellers, but with the terrible weather here, taking a helicopter is really not a wise choice."

"Is it unsafe?" Suisui asked subconsciously.

"At least it's very bumpy," Dmitri replied bluntly, "and a letter of introduction is not enough to rent a helicopter."

"It's better to drive, at least it's safer."

Wei Ran made a decision decisively. It was a pity that although he learned a lot at Hongqi Forest Farm, he did not learn helicopter driving.

"If you guys want to drive something with tires, I recommend this car."

Old Peter led them to a row of cars that were almost a standard rectangular shape and stopped. "These cars were purchased last year. They are in relatively good condition and have really good performance."

"This is a tracker brand (Burlak) off-road vehicle. As old Peter said, it is indeed a new vehicle purchased last year. Many people I have received have rented this vehicle, including Mr. Jima who came yesterday."

At this point, Dmitri opened the door and explained, "This kind of car can not only accommodate four people, but also has a kitchen and bathroom. And you don't have to worry even if it falls into the water. There is even a propeller behind its butt to push it in."

, very suitable for running on the newly frozen Nizhny Tunguska River in this season.”

"That's it?" Suisui, who had climbed into the car on the ladder, stuck her head out and asked,

"This car is really nice, and the bed inside is also very big."

Weiran was not in a hurry to make a decision. He turned around and asked again, "What if it's a tracked vehicle?"

"there"

Old Peter pointed in the direction, led everyone a few steps, pointed at a row of bright red cars and said, "The small ones are DT-10, the big ones are DT-30. The medium-sized ones are DT-20

.They are also the best passing cars here, but I don’t recommend renting them.”

"I don't recommend it either," Dmitri followed.

"Why?" Wei Ran looked at the two people curiously.

"First of all, the river has just frozen this season. Even the smallest DT-10 is likely to crush the ice when driven onto the river. Although they can also float on the water, they are definitely not as agile as the car just now, and driving them requires more

Let’s learn how to drive first.”

Just as Peter finished speaking, Dmitri also expressed his opinion, "And if you rent this kind of car, you have to rent an additional tanker truck to follow it. This exaggerated big guy consumes too much fuel.

"

"Forget it, let's just stick to the same car."

Wei Ran said decisively, as the saying goes, listen to others and eat enough. As long as your mind is clear at this time, you are right to listen to these two people.

"It would be great if the leaders who came to inspect the coalfields had brains and ears like these young people."

Old Peter murmured with satisfaction, turned around and walked back and asked, "Do you have any other special requests?"

"Please help me pack more supplies inside."

Wei Ran thought for a while and continued, "Can we install more searchlights on the roof of the car? In addition, we may also need some self-defense weapons."

"Except for weapons, everything else can be provided. Of course, you need to pay." Old Peter said bluntly, "And it will take some time."
