"You actually planted a tree in the cab?!" Wei Ran exclaimed with a sincere expression while sitting in the passenger seat after entering the cab of the transport truck for the second time.

“It was just an accident”

Old Ivan explained with a smile, "It sprouted from a rotten apple more than 20 years ago. I just gave it some soil, but I didn't expect it to survive so tenaciously."

Wei Ran pretended to admire the leafy apple tree, and a series of compliments came out of his mouth.

"The fruit it bears is not delicious, it has no sweetness at all." As he spoke, Old Ivan reached out and pulled an apple from the tree and handed it to Wei Ran, "Young man, what on earth do you want to talk to me about?"

I took a bite of the mostly red apple and found that, as Old Ivan said, this fruit did not have the sour or sweet taste that an apple should have. The water-stained and slightly astringent taste was really unpalatable.

interest.

But even so, he still carefully ate the whole apple until he gnawed away the last trace of pulp on the core. Then he slowly took out a paper towel, wrapped it up and put it in his pocket.

From beginning to end, old Ivan sat patiently in the driver's seat and looked at Wei Ran with a smile.

After swallowing the last mouthful of pulp in his mouth, Wei Ran took out a tissue from Chapter 2 and wiped his mouth, then asked, "Old Ivan, how much damage did the two drivers suffer?"

“I’m afraid it will be very difficult in the next few years.”

Old Ivan frowned and said, "Their cars are all destroyed. Without the cars, they won't be able to make any money this winter, especially the one whose car fell into the water. He has to compensate for the loss of the goods according to the price. This is enough for him."

He's bankrupt."

"I want to help them," Wei Ran said thoughtfully.

"You want to help them?" Old Ivan saw Wei Ran nodding seriously and asked with a smile, "How do you plan to help?"

"There's nothing wrong with at least providing them each with a truck."

Wei Ran thought for a while and continued, "If necessary, I can buy even the truckload of goods that fell into the water."

"It's rare to find a young man as generous as you"

Old Ivan spread his hands and said, "But there is a price for these, right? And why don't you just talk to them directly?"

"I don't know much about them. I don't even know their names."

Wei Ran adjusted the seat to a comfortable angle with a familiarity, "So I can only come to you for this kind of thing. At least you can persist in this kind of ghost place for so long, which is enough to prove that you are a good person."

"Good man?" Old Ivan laughed dumbly, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Give them a guarantee and give me a guarantee, that's all."

Seeing that Old Ivan remained silent, Wei Ran simply continued to pick up nice things and said, "Even if they are willing, after they recover from their injuries, I might be able to provide them with a part-time job with a good income in the future, but

The premise of all this is mutual trust.

Obviously, I haven't been able to trust them, and I'm afraid they can't trust me either. But Mr. Ivan, you are different. They obviously trust you very much, and even entrusted their lives to you when they were in danger."

"But I can't trust you," Old Ivan said bluntly, "Since you don't trust them, why are you willing to help them?"

"Maybe it's compassion."

Weiran responded candidly, never mentioning any words related to the Tinder project, "I want to talk to you alone, just hoping you can give me some trust."

As for the conditions just offered, he would naturally not refuse to pay. Not to mention the GAZ 66 trucks that are almost everywhere, which can only cost tens of thousands of yuan at most when converted into RMB. Anyway, he has made up his mind, regardless of whether he buys it or not.

The car is still buying the goods that fell into the water. It must be cheap teacher Kajik to pay for it.

Even the promise to introduce jobs to the two drivers was not just a promise. If Suisui could really take tourists to drive in such a ghost place, someone would have to follow them, right?

"Give credit?"

Old Ivan stared at Wei Ran on the other side of the apple tree for a moment, and a smile appeared on his old face, "Of course, no problem. Since you need some trust, why not be more honest first and tell us what you are here for?"

of?"

"Come to the Agni Rescue Station or to Tunguska?" Wei Ran asked.

"All"

"I came here just to find a safer camp to rest for the night."

Wei Ran paused and added, "Of course, I'm also curious about how the people at the wilderness rescue station survived the long winter here."

"What's your purpose in coming to Tunguska?" Old Ivan continued to ask.

Finally let me wait until you ask this question!

Wei Ran moved his left hand slightly, which was resting on the edge of the box, "Looking for some missing heroes for my teacher."

"The missing hero?"

"Yes, hero"

Wei Ran once again complimented him in advance, looked into the other person's eyes casually and explained, "To be precise, it was an exploration team belonging to the Siberian Branch of the Soviet Academy of Sciences that disappeared during the disintegration of the Soviet Union. They were around before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

They disappeared during that time and my teacher wants to find them."

"Who is your teacher?" Old Ivan asked, while his left hand had already reached to the back of the dashboard.

"A history teacher at Kazan University"

Wei Ran answered as if he didn't hear anything, but in fact almost every muscle in his body was ready to fight back before the opponent drew his gun.

"Kazan University? History Department Teacher?"

Old Ivan muttered to himself, and then asked abruptly, "How are you sure it's me?"

"I..."

"You'd better tell the truth"

Old Ivan narrowed his eyes and issued a warning. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to pull away the turf at the base of the apple tree, grabbed an inconspicuous ring and reminded, "I hid about five kilograms of TNT under the apple tree. The detonation delay is less than half."

seconds,"

grass!

Wei Ran's brows twitched, and he took a deep breath and replied, "Safe, before you came back, I saw the safe that was uniformly distributed by the Academy of Sciences during the Soviet period. My teacher said that its production quantity was not large.

"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your teacher, does his wife run a Georgian restaurant?" Old Ivan asked with a smile.

Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. However, at this moment, Old Ivan actually pulled out the metal ring at the root of the apple tree!

"Fuck!"

Without thinking, Wei Ran opened the car door and jumped out, lying directly on the thick snow and hugging his head.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, the expected explosion did not appear. Instead, old Ivan's breathless laughter came from the cab!

"Your uncle!"

Wei Ran stood up with a curse. He had deliberately chosen the cab as the place to chat. He was thinking that the other party would be able to relax his vigilance in a familiar environment, so that he could ask about the other party's true attitude. Unfortunately, after all, it was Lao Jiang who was better.

Damn it, he was still fooled by the other party.

Cursing and getting into the cab, Old Ivan still held the metal pull ring in his hand, but what was connected under the pull ring was just a thermometer.

But at the same time, he already held a Makorov silent pistol in his other hand.

"I haven't met a fool like you for a long time." Old Ivan gently waved his gun, "Call your teacher."

After glancing at the weapon in the opponent's hand, Wei Ran closed the car door slowly, then reached out and grabbed the silencer of the weapon in the opponent's hand and pushed it aside!

Almost subconsciously, Old Ivan pulled the trigger.

However, the expected gunshot did not sound, and Wei Ran had already let go of his hand, and took out a Makorov pistol from his pocket slowly, and at the same time reached out with his other hand.

On the edge of the box with the apple tree planted, a firing pin was pinched out from under a small stone for landscaping and shook towards the opponent.

This firing pin was naturally removed when he came to this cab last time to look for tinder information, so that when he expressed his intention to old Ivan, the other party could sit down and talk to him calmly. Otherwise, even if

He didn't have the guts to ask the other party to come here to chat.

"It's not a good habit to rummage around in other people's homes without permission." As Old Ivan spoke, he handed Wei Ran the silent pistol that could not be fired at all.

"I'm sorry for touching your things."

Wei Ran apologized as sincerely as possible, took the opponent's weapon smoothly, quickly pulled out the magazine, and emptied the bullet in the chamber.

"Your apology is not sincere at all."

Before Old Ivan finished speaking, Wei Ran had already handed over the rented Makorov pistol in his hand, "Is this sincerity enough?"

After taking the pistol and taking out the magazine, Old Ivan threw it directly onto the dashboard. There was no bullet in the gun at all.

Wei Ran smiled and gently placed the non-threatening weapon on the dashboard. As for the bullets and firing pin, he naturally put them in his pocket.

"I don't see the sincerity, but you are very courageous."

There was a rare hint of appreciation in Old Ivan's tone, "What do you want to ask next?"

"Ask your attitude"

Wei Ran unexpectedly replied, "If you want to continue living like this, you have to find a way to help me lead the investigation clues to other places. If you are willing to meet with my employer, my teacher, I will

I’ll call him later.”

"Are you going to help me?" Old Ivan frowned.
