War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 630 Infiltrate
When the clear Swinley River reflected the starlight overhead, Wei Ran also pushed a mountain bike away from the farm for sale.Crossing the concrete bridge that looked very old, and going upstream along the riverside road, under the prompt of the voice navigation, I went to the destination less than ten kilometers away in the dark.

When the navigation in the headset indicated that the distance to the destination was less than two kilometers away, Wei Ran pinched the brakes and pushed the mountain bike into the pine forest on the side of the road and carefully hid it.

Hiding behind a tall North American white pine and carefully observing the surrounding situation, Wei Ran unhurriedly took out the food box from the metal book, and took out the food box from the Hongqi Forest Farm from the space on the second floor. A borrowed set of NATO-style night vision goggles was worn on his head.

After making some adjustments, Wei Ran put away the food box in satisfaction, and then took off a diving suit from the mountain bike and put it on.

The reason why I bought such a diving suit just after getting off the plane was naturally due to the terrain of the destination.

On the satellite map, the few buildings on the farm were only less than 200 meters away from the Swinley River, but there was still a circle of open space around 200 meters around those buildings.

In other words, if you want to get close to those buildings without anyone noticing as much as possible, it is easiest to use the river.

In the dark, he changed into his diving suit and put on his hiking shoes again. Wei Ran put on additional gloves and a mask. Then, with the help of night vision goggles, under the cover of the roadside forest, he carefully approached the last place. point distance.

Gradually, an open space similar to a forest firebreak appeared in front of it. On the other side of this open space, which was nearly ten meters wide, was a barbed wire fence that was more than two meters high. A circle of gillnets!
Not only that, a circle of tall trees was planted inside the wall, and the leafy canopy just blocked the trace of the barbed wire directly above.And behind this circle of trees, there is actually a layer of lush corn that completely blocks the line of sight, so that outside the barbed wire fence, it is impossible to see clearly what is inside.

Looking around, Wei Ran picked up a weed, then took off his gloves, pinched the weed with his hands and touched the barbed wire.Fortunately, the barbed wire fence that can't be seen at a glance is not powered on.

Glancing at the barbed wire gate next to the lake and the barbed wire fences built along both sides of the river bank, he grinned involuntarily.

To put it simply, this is a piece of land that is divided into left and right parts by a river running across the middle.

But no matter the left-hand side or the right-hand side, they are all tightly surrounded by the scary barbed wire.And the only entrance and exit that can be seen is unguarded, but under the street lamp that is full of brightness and attracts many flying insects, there are several cameras with red lights flashing in the field of vision of the night vision device.At the same time, the trees and corn planted with barbed wire not only block the conspicuous barbed wire fence, but also block all curious sights outside the barbed wire.

Without daring to stay too long, Wei Ran cautiously went deep into the forest on the left bank next to the barbed wire, distanced himself from the forest firewall and moved forward quickly.

I don't know why, except that there are cameras and street lights at the gate connected to the highway, but the surrounding area seems to have no lighting and monitoring facilities at all.

But even so, to be cautious, Wei Ran didn't get close. He just made a big circle of three or four kilometers, all the way to the upper reaches of the river that passed through the barbed wire ranch, and then stopped.

Looking through the binoculars, a smile finally appeared on his face.From this direction, although behind the circle of trees inside the barbed wire, there are still corns that block the view.

But after the meandering river entered the two lands surrounded by barbed wire on the left and right, it seemed to branch off into a small tributary, entering the land with houses on the right.

It's a pity that because of the cover of trees and corn, if you want to know where this tributary leads, you can only know by diving in.

After a little hesitation, Wei Ran put away the binoculars and continued to walk several hundred meters, until the forest where he was hiding bordered the river bank again. Then he unhurriedly took off the snorkeling tube pinned to his waist and buckled it He wiped his face, and then put the night vision device and mobile phone into the food box.

With everything ready, Wei Ran slipped into the river without a sound, and approached the mysterious farm cautiously under the cover of the river.

As the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, barbed wire fences gradually appeared on both sides of the river. Soon after, a tributary river with a width of only one meter and concrete hardening on both sides appeared on the right hand side.

It's just that when this tributary passes through the barbed wire above the head, it only passes through two concrete water pipes with a diameter of less than one meter.

There is no doubt that the other end of the water pipe is also equipped with a steel bar.But I don't know if it's because the steel mesh is often blocked by debris washed down in the river. The worker who cleaned the steel mesh last time was obviously lazy. It's not completely locked, it's just a cover-up.

It was precisely because of this small negligence that Wei Ran was able to easily squeeze through the not-so-wide gap, and silently followed the concrete water pipe and crossed the two-meter-high barbed wire fence above his head.

Cautiously crawling into the cornfield on the shore, he took out the night vision goggle in the food box and put it on again, and then crawled slowly across the [-]-meter-wide cornfield.

However, when he saw the scene on the other side of the cornfield, he couldn't help being stunned.

He envisioned all kinds of situations that he might see here, and even the assumption of encountering American soldiers in uniform appeared more than once.

However, as far as the eye can see, the first thing you see is various children's play facilities such as slides, several tall oak trees with swings, and an outdoor swimming pool with a diving platform.

In addition, on this open land surrounded by trees and crops, there is also a large Victorian-style building, a country church-like pointed house with a bell tower, and a large A bit over the top barn.

Behind these three buildings is a small farmland, and looking further into the distance, it is a small dark forest that is completely connected with the cornfields on both sides.

All of this can be barely matched with the vague building outlines on the satellite map, and he even knows that there are also two buildings on another piece of land on the other side of the river.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran quietly retreated to the depths of the cornfield, and then walked along the cornfield to a small forest separated from the three buildings by a field.

Finding a fairly secluded place to hide it, Wei Ran took out his mobile phone and authenticator, and sent an email to Anfeiya.

In the consignment farm ten kilometers away, after receiving the email, Anfeiya immediately left the farm in the dark, retrieved the mountain bike that Wei Ran had ridden away, and then simply drove to McLeod.

In the blink of an eye the next morning, Anfeya called Walker, the real estate agent, and postponed the appointment to the next day on the grounds that "Mr. Hans had a sudden asthma attack last night and had already returned overnight." afternoon."

At the same time, Wei Ran, who had been hiding in the forest all night, also hid in the canopy of a fruitful apple tree, and carefully observed the buildings outside the forest with his binoculars.

However, to his surprise, for a whole day, no one entered or exited these three buildings, not just people. According to his observation, there seemed to be no monitoring equipment in those buildings!
"What's the situation with this special code?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, put away the binoculars, covered the outline of his body with a Soviet cloak, continued to hide in the tree, and patiently waited for the sun to set again.

As the night fell, Wei Ran, who had only drank some water and ate a few apples all day, unhurriedly came down from the apple tree where he was hiding, and re-stuffed the headgear that he had been wearing on his face A glove changed the contour of the face, and two towels were used to hug the soles of the shoes to avoid leaving marks. Then he buckled the night vision goggles and touched them carefully.

Contrary to his expectations, until he crawled to the door of the three-story building, he did not encounter any obstacles, even the door of the building was not locked!

Taking out two shoe covers from his pocket and putting them on, Wei Ran gently pushed open the door, but what he saw made his face even more strange.

Compared with the short history of the United States, the appearance of this house can be described as "quaint atmosphere with ghost movie set special effects".

But the interior of this room is not as clean as it looks.Not only is the rubber floor under the feet completely inconsistent with the style of the house, but the only furniture in the hall on the first floor is a solid wood desk and a matching swivel chair shrouded in moonlight from the window.

On the desk, which is more than two meters long and one meter wide, the only decoration is a small and exquisite human bone model, but this model shows a person kneeling on his knees, with his hands raised and facing out of the window. The strange appearance of the moon showing the middle finger.

Almost subconsciously walking to the edge of the desk, Wei Ran was stunned, and then directly pulled out a flashlight that was only the size of a finger from his cuff and turned it on.

When the not-so-bright light shone on the skeleton, he became more and more sure that the person kneeling on the table facing the moonlight out of the window and showing his middle finger was definitely not a human bone model. He or she should be called a human bone specimen!A child who was only six or seven years old at the most, but was stripped of his flesh and blood and only his bones remained!
As the finger-sized flashlight turned off, Wei Ran took a deep breath, and made up his mind to do a good search to find out all the secrets in this building.
