War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 726 Taking over the firing squad

"Captain Victor, what shall we do next?" The bearded Bao Lide, who had been promoted to vice-captain, approached Wei Ran and asked.

"Have our new team members arrived yet?" Wei Ran raised his binoculars and asked Zhuo Ya who was walking back.

"It's all here just now," Bao Lide quickly responded, "There are a total of 10 players, all of whom are veterans who have been on the battlefield. Commissar Craig specially selected them for us."

Hearing this, Wei Ran put down his binoculars and asked, "Are there any criminals who need to be shot today?"

"No," Bao Lide replied after a pause, "All the condemned prisoners were taken away by Captain Mikita, but there is a prisoner related to the possession of daggers that has not had time to be interrogated."

"Do you really think I will kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, followed by a muttering in his heart, "Which prisoner in this ghost place is innocent?"

"Captain Victor" Baolid looked at Wei Ran hesitantly, apparently waiting for him to make up his mind.

"First, take everyone to the camp to familiarize themselves with the work, and check whether the animals have been cleaned by the way."

Wei Ran unobtrusively glanced at Commissar Krech, who was chatting with Dr. Goosen not far away, and continued, "After the inspection is over, those unqualified shacks will start to double their work tasks tomorrow."

"Yes!" Baolid responded with a salute, greeted the new team members standing in the distance and walked towards the prisoner-of-war camp.

"Vice-Captain Baolide"

Wei Ran called to stop the other party, and said with a smile, "Thank you for giving me the whip. If you have time, teach me how to use it. In addition, if it is convenient, give them all a whip. When they are checked later, the hygiene is not up to standard huts, and all prisoners of war will be whipped."

"Yes!"

Baolid responded even louder, and a smile that appeared because of being recognized appeared on the face covered by a big beard.

"I heard that you can make your own wolf skin holster?" Wei Ran continued to ask.

"Yes!" Baolide obviously realized something, and quickly responded.

"Give everyone a wolf skin holster"

Wei Ran deliberately glanced at the political commissar of Kreich, seeing that the other party had no objection, he continued, "The firing squad in Mine No. 52 should be an enviable team, so I think comrades should dress more handsomely." .”

"You see, Victor is much smarter than Mikita, he is very good at grasping people's hearts." Commissar Krech said to Dr. Gusen with a smile.

"This kind of talent is more dangerous." Dr. Gu Sen sighed, "Comrade Political Commissar, I'm going back to work."

"Wait a second"

Wei Ran turned around at the right time and asked, "Commander Krech, Dr. Gusen. Now that there are two high-end shacks in the prisoner-of-war camp, shall we continue to select obedient prisoners of war to live in?"

"Let this matter be decided by Commissar Krech."

While walking towards the hospital, Dr. Goosen pretended to be lonely and said, "My experiment is over, and I will leave here soon, and now even my experimental items have been taken by that bastard Mikita. gone."

Commissar Krech spread his hands, "Since Dr. Goosen's experiment is over, let's stop this matter. Those two-legged animals are here to atone for their sins, not to enjoy life."

"Comrade Political Commissar, why don't you let us use those two shacks?" Wei Ran put forward his request in a timely manner, "Those two shacks can be used as torture chambers, so that we don't have to go far when interrogating prisoners. road, and there is no need to suffer from the cold outside.”

"That's a good proposal!" Commissar Krech waved his hand, "In this case, the two shacks will be handed over to you."

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately said, "Baolide, send the prisoner related to the time of hiding the weapon to that shack, and I will interrogate it myself later."

"Yes!"

Bao Lide responded again, and seeing that Wei Ran had no other orders, he immediately led the new members of the firing squad to the ditch that served as the isolation zone.

At the same time, Wei Ran took advantage of the fact that Commissar Craig did not go far, and invited Nurse Zhuoya who had already walked by, "Zoya, I am going to interrogate a prisoner of war later, can you be an interpreter for me?" ?”

Zhuo Ya glanced at the political commissar who was walking away from the corner of her eyes, first she winked at Chao Wei Ran, and then said, "Lend me your camera for a few days, and I will help you."

"It's yours"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he happily handed the camera with a new film not long ago to Zhuo Ya.The photo shoot just now was enough for him to complete the photo requirements of the return mission, and he believed that Zhuo Ya didn't really intend to borrow the camera, it was just an excuse.

"Then let me be a translator for you, but I hope that your torture will not be too bloody." Zhuo Ya had already accepted the camera from Wei Ran while speaking.

Glancing at Baolid who had already led the new team members away, Wei Ran asked in a low voice while walking towards the camp, "Did Mikita leave any arrangements?"

"First of all, Baolide can be trusted." Zhuoya said in a low voice.

"anything else?"

"The prisoners who will be interrogated later must know the location of the mine where the weapons are made"

Zhuo Ya lowered her voice, "There is a mine that was abandoned two years ago, and it is in the No. 4 mine. When you are ready, hide the gems in that mine Then find a way to block the entrance of that mine. Also, seal the prisoners of war who lead the way inside."

"He didn't take those stones?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"No, those stones can't be taken away at all now."

Zhuoya stopped, lit a cigarette and explained, "Everyone who enters and exits Mine No. 52 will have their luggage checked carefully so that no one will deliver letters to prisoners of war here. This is the mandatory regulation of Kreich's political commissar. It is also the reason why no one has discovered how he treats the prisoners of war casually here.

But because of this regulation, it is very difficult for anyone other than Commissar Krech to sneak something out of here. "

"At that time, I will personally take the prisoner to hide the gem. Is there anything else?" Wei Ran took the cigarette handed by the other party and asked, lighting it up.

"Take Baolide, so that you don't forget the route." Zhuoya added beside him, "Also, blow up the gemstone mine as soon as possible."

"Any more?"

"No more, that's all."

Zhuoya had already flicked the cigarette butt here, and made an agreement in advance while walking, "Wait, if you don't want to make it too bloody, I used that prisoner of war to practice bandaging all afternoon yesterday, and I did it all night nightmare."

"Is it still alive?" Wei Ran asked indifferently.

"Dead." Zhuo Ya said angrily, "I was tortured to death last night."

"Your skills are too poor"

Wei Ran dumped the blame on the nurses of the hospital as a matter of course, and while waving to the soldiers on the sentry tower who had just helped turn on the lights, he crossed the concrete bridge over the trench.

Ignoring those prisoners of war queuing up for food, Wei Ran led Zhuo Ya to find the luxurious shack where he had been.

From a long distance, they saw Bao Lide waiting for them at the door of the shack, and looking around, there was no new member of the firing squad.

"Captain Victor" Baolid pointed to the shack behind him, "It's already tied inside."

"Where are the others?" Wei Ran looked around and asked.

"I arranged for them to check the hygiene"

Baolid scratched the back of his head, "Several of them were soldiers sent by Commissar Krech to support us yesterday."

"Standing out"

Wei Ran patted the other person on the shoulder, and led Zhuo Ya into the shack that still had a fireplace.

With the help of a row of overhead lights, the prisoner of war is tied to a wooden post in a post-hugging position.

"Ask him first if he wants to talk."

Wei Ran had pulled out the flashlight at his waist while he was speaking, and while checking the situation in the shack, he said, "If he doesn't want to say it, that's fine. If he is willing to say it, I'll save a lot of trouble."

"What are you looking for?" Zhuo Ya asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Wei Ran responded without raising his head.

"Do you think they will keep it private?" Zhuo Ya asked in a low voice.

"Why not?" Wei Ran asked back, "The more hopeless the place is, the easier it is for them to have sweet dreams."

Zhuo Ya moved to Wei Ran's side, lowered her voice and said, "But I heard from Mikita that he bathes them every time, and checks their mouth and clothes before letting them come up."

Wei Ran looked at Zhuoya with a strange expression but didn't explain it. The latter immediately realized something after a short period of sluggishness, wrinkled his nose and complained, "Victor, why are you so disgusting?"

"It's not that I'm sick, I didn't say anything, did I?" Wei Ran looked back, "Go and ask it, if I find something, I will call you."

"You don't have to call me," Zhuo Ya said with extreme disgust, and even shivered involuntarily.

Wei Ran smiled nonchalantly, took out two pairs of rubber gloves from the hospital from his pocket, put them on, and then began to search carefully.

As expected, soon, he found a green stone the size of a peanut from a gap in the wooden planks above the head of a tatami bed!
Gently pulling out the stone and taking a look, Wei Ran also showed a satisfied smile on his face. This small green stone is much bigger than the ones he saw in the lunch box under the bedside table in the dormitory before.

Taking off the kettle on his waist, he poured all the water into the gap in the floor, Wei Ran stuffed the stone he found into the kettle, and continued to search for other stones that were hidden by the prisoners in a disgusting way. gem.

Thanks to the cold knowledge he learned at the Hongqi Forest Farm, he found out one after another the small stones hidden in various places and threw them into the kettle.And the prisoner who was still tied to the pillar answered all kinds of questions that Zhuoya could think of happily, and agreed to help lead the way.

However, Wei Ran was not in a hurry to leave, instead he got out of the wooden door, searched in another shack, and found more gems.

It wasn't until he finished rummaging through the gaps in the floor around the last tatami and the cracks in the ceiling above his head that he was satisfied with tightening the lid of the kettle and shaking it gently.

The heavy feel, the scratching sound when gemstones rubbed against each other, all these made a satisfied smile appear on his face.

There is no need to compare, he can be sure that these stones are better than those that Mikita wants to hide in terms of size, quality and quantity.

The only downside, at most, is that the way the stones came from the mine to the shack might be a little disgusting.

On the other hand, although these gemstones collected by himself are destined to be impossible to bring back to that familiar world, at least he has recorded the specific locations of these two shacks, and it will be a big deal to find them again at that time.

Putting his thoughts away, Wei Ran hung the doomed water bottle back on his waist, then took off a layer of rubber gloves and threw it into the fireplace with embers remaining, then put on the thick and soft sheepskin gloves again, and returned slowly The shack where the prisoners of war were tied up.

"When will we start?" Zhuo Ya immediately asked Wei Ran when she saw Wei Ran coming in.

"Don't you want to see my harvest?" Wei Ran didn't forget to pat the water bottle on his waist while speaking.

"Forget it, it's too disgusting." Zhuo Ya frowned and refused without thinking.

"Those things are not urgent." Wei Ran didn't joke anymore, "Turn it off for two days first."

"Why?" Zhuo Ya asked dissatisfiedly.

"would arouse suspicion"

Wei Ran walked towards the door while speaking, "Zhuo Ya, you go back first, don't rush to find Gu Sen, and go to Gu Sen for a drink later in the evening."

Zhuo Ya raised her beautiful eyebrows, obviously understood Wei Ran's hint, immediately took a step forward, and asked as she walked out, "What about you?"

"Of course I just randomly find a few prisoners of war and continue to torture them to find out where the weapons are forged."

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he leaned out his upper body, and shouted loudly, "Captain Baolide, how about going to the shack where you found the weapon before and grabbing a few people and sending them to the opposite shack? I'll send Zhuoya back first, by the way Go back to the dormitory and get the whip you gave me, and you have to teach me how to use it later."

"no problem!"

The new official, Baolide, agreed very happily, and made a promise while taking out his whistle, "Using that kind of whip is very simple, I can definitely teach you!"
