At 3:30 in the morning, Wei Ran was awakened by the sudden light coming on from his deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Captain Letts, who was fully dressed, standing beside the bed looking at him. The head of his silver-wrapped cane was still tapping the bed frame of the bunk bed, making a clicking sound.

A soft clicking sound.

"Get up quickly when you wake up," Captain Letts reminded in a low voice, "We are going to start work."

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately got out of bed, put on his boots as quickly as possible, and then put on the three-piece silly flying suit he got last night and the helmet hanging on the bedside.

When he was ready, Captain Letts immediately turned off the lights and limped out of the room with him.

However, Wei Ran thought they were going to carry out transportation at night again, but he didn't expect that this time, Captain Letts actually took him to the oil warehouse.

"These oil barrels placed against the wall were all transported last night. A can of oil was taken from each barrel and put into the empty barrel. We have to make up for the losses incurred yesterday before dawn."

While Captain Letts explained in a low voice, he also handed Wei Yan a rubber tube less than one meter long and a 10-liter water tank.

This...is this even okay?

Wei Ran looked at the greasy tools in his hands, and then at Captain Letts who was walking out of the warehouse and preparing to lock the door from the outside, as well as the row of 200-liter oil drums against the wall in the warehouse and the empty tanks that had been prepared in advance.

Bucket, finally nodded resignedly.

Taking off the cumbersome steel helmet and three-piece pilot suit on his head, Wei Ran, like a shameless oil guzzler, gently unscrewed the oil drums that had just been shipped last night under the dim light, and used

The siphon principle draws a can of fuel from each bucket, and then pours it into the 200-liter empty bucket prepared in advance.

At the same time, Captain Letts had gone into another warehouse next door, dragging a sack and occasionally throwing a few potatoes, onions, carrots, sausages or even packets of seasonings into it.

After about an hour, the door of the oil warehouse was opened a crack again, and Wei Ran, who had already completed his work, immediately got out.

"Are you done?" Captain Letts asked in a low voice.

"It's done." Wei Ran, who was holding a steel helmet and a three-piece pilot suit, yawned and replied in a low voice. He never expected that he would get up in the middle of the night to steal fuel.

Upon hearing this, Captain Letts immediately locked the door, and then took a sack full of vegetables, fruits, and various food and drinks from the warehouse next door, and then took two bags from the warehouse where coal was stored.

A tin bucket filled with coking coal.

As expected, these items were brought into the garage and loaded into the trailers of the two half-track motorcycles covered by canvas.

By the time they finished all this work, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and the fortress was gradually becoming lively. But they had already returned to the room, took off their clothes and lay on their respective beds and continued to sleep soundly.

By the time he was woken up again by Captain Letts, it was already half past seven in the morning.

After eating a fairly hearty army stew and a cup of coffee for breakfast, Captain Letts finally fulfilled his duties as a quartermaster, and Wei Ran, who was nominally his assistant, was not idle at all.

When I arrive, I either send some vegetables to the kitchen, prepare some ammunition for the firepower point, or send some medicine to the infirmary.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is impossible to be straight. With such a boss, if Wei Ran does not get some benefits for himself, he will be sorry for this job.

So without even waiting for dinner, he had already packed all kinds of medicines into the "picked up" US military medical bag. By the way, he also filled the British army's kettle that originally only contained some hawthorn leaf tea and the portable wine bottle.

It's full of wine and I don't know who should have drank it.

Not only that, even for the anti-tank gun that he had never had a chance to use this time, he took advantage of helping deliver ammunition to the air defense unit and replenished the ammunition. He also took a few extra high-explosive armor-piercing bullets and threw them into his bag.

spare.

Of course, in addition to these, he also did not forget to pay attention to who had a camera and film in his hand. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, even he had already

I began to worry about where to put the extra pairs of socks and the issued standard gloves, but I still hadn’t “borrowed” the crucial camera.

"Victor, you are more suitable to be a quartermaster than me."

During dinner, Captain Leitz chewed his dinner slowly while praising Wei Ran who was sitting opposite.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will work hard in this direction."

Wei Ran responded frankly to the other person's compliment, and at the same time lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anything I need to pay extra attention to?"

"The chain dogs we keep in the fort never check the garage."

Captain Letts leaned forward and lowered his voice and continued, "If they find out, don't panic. Just say that it is to prepare for reissue due to insufficient supply. Those idiots don't know how to manage a warehouse."

"They only know how to chew bones," Wei Ran responded with a hint of contempt, which was immediately replaced by the former's nod of approval.

After finishing dinner while chatting about chain dogs, the two waited until it got dark, then drove the half-track motorcycle again, carrying the supplies loaded on it in advance and leaving the fortress. Just like yesterday, they rushed along the creek to the mill in the forest.

beside.

Still with the help of a small boat converted from half an oil drum and a narrow waterway, these supplies were transported to the abandoned castle on the other side by Letts' daughter Sophie.

After delivering supplies and ammunition to this place, the two of them drove the car to the wooden house and also put some ammunition here.

Only this time, there were no trophies in the wooden house. Instead, there were two children who looked to be about the same age as Dominic who had just been delivered yesterday.

Compared with Dominic, the conditions of these two little guys, who were wearing the uniforms of the Youth League or the Labor Service Corps respectively, were not in good condition. Although the two young men did not suffer any external injuries, their pale and frightened faces and constantly shaking bodies were...

But it all implies that they must have experienced some terrible things.

"Bindfold their eyes and tie their hands behind their backs." Captain Letts issued an order that was anticipated by the guards.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, Wei Ran reached out and took the rope from the other party, tied the hands of the two obviously frightened children behind their backs, and then covered their eyes with cloth strips.

Under the command of Captain Letts, the two children were helped into the empty tow truck. Then Captain Letts directly covered each of them with a thick canvas and tied them tightly with ropes.

Without any explanation or any hint, Captain Letts drove the car ahead and hurried back to the mill with the gas.

Silently, he sent the two teenagers, whose hands were tied behind their backs and blindfolded, into the waterway, and watched as they waded farther and farther through the cold river under the leadership of Sophie, and were eventually swallowed up by the darkness.

"Let's go back." Captain Letts slammed the floor and left the mill again with the ignition.

"Don't you want to explain?" Wei Ran asked before the other party started the car. "Explain what?"

Captain Letts asked a question, and then said nonchalantly, "They are just poor people who were frightened by the war. They will die in this forest sooner or later."

"So you saved them?" "Saved?"

Captain Letts snorted and strenuously stepped into the driver's seat, "I'm just helping those little losers collect the bodies in advance. Okay, go back quickly. You go ahead of me this time."

Hearing this, Wei Ran opened his mouth, and finally raised his legs and sat in the driver's seat, steering the half-track motorcycle and walking ahead along the stream.

The journey back to the fortress was smooth, but Captain Letts did nothing else that night, and the Weiyan finally no longer had to get up in the middle of the night to steal oil and food.

I followed Captain Letts and worked like this for another two days. By the evening of the third day, when Wei Ran was able to lead the way and drive in the dark to the cabin in the forest, there were also people in the cabin. Not too many, but not too much.

Too little loot. Before that, they had just sent an extra cart of supplies and a barrel of fuel to the mill.

"Listen Victor"

Captain Letts took advantage of the guard to collect the registered trophies.

When he was loading the truck, he said, "This is the last batch. After the supplies are delivered to the mill tomorrow afternoon, I will find someone to take you to participate in a sneak attack on the American camp. You will die in that conflict.

"

"Then shall I rush to the mill myself?" Wei Ran asked while fixing the two boxes of loot with ropes.

"Yes." Captain Letts nodded, "The safety over there will be left to you from now on."

"Don't worry," Wei Ran responded absently, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder when the American soldiers Timov and Buck appeared over there at the mill.

"Let's go"

Captain Letts got into the driver's seat of the half-track motorcycle with difficulty, "Let's see what good things they brought this time."

Under his leadership, the two half-track motorcycles drove out of the forest again. As expected, there was already a truck waiting for them outside the forest.

"Teacher Letts"

The two young men from the labor group who had met three days ago jumped out of the cab and said hello in unison.

"What good things did you bring this time?" Captain Letts asked with a smile.

"We got the medicines Dominic needs, enough for him to take for a long time."

While the trainee squad leader was speaking, he had already untied the rope and carried one of the boxes filled with trophies into the cab.

"This time we got a lot of flour and cheese," another exempt soldier said, pointing to the truck behind him, "and there is also a Christmas gift that my brother prepared for Sophie in advance." "Christmas gift?" Captain Letts was stunned.

Stunned, "Isn't it only November?" "Yes, teacher"

The exempt soldier explained as he put the flour into the trailer, "My brother secretly got it from the contraband warehouse. He said Sophie must like it, so he asked me to deliver it in advance. Anyway,

These things should have been burned, and there was no need to worry about anyone discovering them."

"You all have to be careful. If you are caught by those chain dogs, you will be in trouble." Captain Letts couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Letts."

The trainee squad leader, who was also carrying a bag of flour, said confidently, "Since his brother joined the chain dog, we can always get the news in advance, but you should pay attention to your safety."

"Who would have trouble with a quartermaster?"

Before Captain Letts finished speaking, the exempt soldier carried a canvas roll less than one meter long but as thick as a thigh and placed it in the trailer. Then he covered it tightly with the flour brought by his companions.

Strictly.

"That's true, Mr. Letts, are everyone here now?" the trainee monitor asked with concern.

"We're all here." Captain Letts nodded, lit a cigarette and sighed, "Now we just have to wait for the war to end."

"My brother said that this war may not last long." The exempt soldier said with a trace of happiness.
