In the middle of the A River, which was freezing cold but not too fast, a pile of reeds floating from the upper reaches were fluttering downstream under the influence of the current, not attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers on the river bank at all.

The patrols who looked up at the night sky from time to time did not know that Wei Ran, Heidi and Vanessa were hiding under the pile of reeds.

Under the reeds, Wei Ran handed a wax-impregnated pilot oxygen mask to Vanessa, who was holding her belt next to her. After the latter patted her shoulder, she immediately unscrewed the one hanging around her neck.

The valve of the small oxygen cylinder allowed her to take a sip of oxygen, then she tightened the valve miserably and handed the mask to Heidi, who was also holding her belt on the other side.

This time, before he could open the valve, a beam of light hit the reeds from the shore.

Upon seeing this, the three of them immediately dived into the water, using only the nylon thread used to sew their shoes to pull on the reeds above their heads to prevent it from floating too fast.

Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds, finally, when Wei Ran silently counted to 37, the flashlight beam finally stopped pointing at the reeds on the water because the distance was getting farther and farther, and Wei Ran immediately

Unscrewing the valve, Heidi, who could barely hold on, took a deep breath.

Seeing that the air bubbles she exhaled were blocked by the reeds above her head, Wei Ran waited for the other party to pat the top of her head, then immediately tightened the valve, placed the mask on her mouth and nose, bit her breathing mouthpiece and unscrewed it.

valve.

This camouflage and stealth method was made by him when he swam through a patch of reeds in the river. He was guarding against the soldiers who patrolled the river bank from time to time. Even those soldiers who were midway through the patrol either lit cigarettes to be lazy, or simply stood on the bank.

A wicked man who urinates while peeing.

After taking a breath for himself, Wei Ran handed the mask to Vanessa on the other side. The three of them cooperated like this and endured the last few hundred meters little by little.

Finally, the three of them saw a bright light that could still be seen clearly through the reeds above their heads and the river water. After taking the last breath of oxygen, Heidi loosened the "kite string" of the pile of reeds above her head and took Wei with her.

Ran and Vanessa swam to the right bank of the river, and hugged the log pillars of a small pier trestle with great difficulty.

If it were in a swimming pool, it would take an ordinary person about half an hour to swim one kilometer back and forth, but in the A River channel, due to the push of the water flow, the distance of this kilometer only took the three of them less than ten minutes.

.

However, how could the temperature of the river be as warm as the water in the swimming pool? At this time, not to mention the delicate Heidi and Vanessa, even Wei Ran was already so cold that his whole body was trembling.

Even so, they still emerged cautiously, and after listening for a while, they took the risk to go up and observe the trestle on both sides and above their heads. It was not until they were sure that no one was around the trestle that they relaxed slightly and hid on the trestle again.

He was breathing heavily in the shadow.

“That’s it”

Heidi pointed to the lighthouse only a hundred meters away from the shore, and said tremblingly, "If...if Spear is still working there, he must be there at this time... Phew! Busy on the second floor of the lighthouse

Copying work.”

"We can't go together this time"

Wei Ran suppressed the chill in his body and whispered, "You two stay here and hold on. I'll go take a look first. If there's any danger, I'll shoot to warn you. When the time comes... then your only way out is,

Maybe just follow the river and enter the English Channel."

"Be careful," Heidi whispered, as if she didn't hear Wei Ran's almost desperate alternative.

Carrying the oxygen bottle, Wei Ran walked step by step to the shore. When he climbed onto the relatively dry river embankment, he stopped and took off his clothes. After carefully wringing them out one by one, he even didn't forget to use wet clothes.

Wiped the water stains from my hair.

After looking around, Wei Ran took out the gas mask bag, stuffed the gas bottle into it, then put on his shirt and underwear as quickly as possible, and climbed up the river embankment barefoot.

Seeing that the moisture on the soles of his feet had been sucked away and leaving no footprints, he quickly ran towards the lighthouse a hundred meters away, using the shadow of the building.

As the distance got closer, he suddenly lay down and crawled on all fours like a gecko under a truck that was burned down on the side of the road for unknown reasons.

Almost as soon as he put his last leg under the chassis of the truck, a flashlight beam also swept past, followed closely by a patrol team of more than ten people, lining up, with the leader holding a

The soldier with the flashlight led him unhurriedly towards the upstream direction.

Watching the group of people go away, Wei Ran immediately climbed out and ran under the lighthouse in a hurry.

He gently pushed the wooden door at the entrance of the lighthouse. Seeing that the wooden door was locked from the inside, Wei Ran gritted his teeth and knocked lightly with his hand.

After waiting for a moment, he saw that there was no movement at all, so he had to knock harder and harder.

Now, someone finally asked, "Who?"

"It's me, open the door."

Wei Ran whispered, and at the same time he took out a Mauser bayonet, held it in his hand, and put the slender blade on his arm. He had never seen his "cousin" Spear.

In real life, he has never even seen a photo.

"Victor?"

Obviously, although Wei Ran did not recognize the other party, the people at the door immediately recognized Wei Ran's voice.

Soon, as the heavy wooden door was opened from the inside, Wei Ran also saw a tall and thin man with blond hair, carrying a kerosene lamp in his hand, wearing overalls and a turtleneck sweater, which made people feel quite...

What's awkward is that this man still has the same mustache as the head of state.

"Turn off the lights"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already ducked into the lighthouse and closed the wooden door as quickly as possible.

The blond man who opened the door for him didn't react too slowly. He immediately turned off the oil lamp and asked nervously, "Victor, why are you here? Where is Heidi? Is she in danger?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It seems that it is indeed Spear..."

Wei Ran relaxed, but did not rush to answer the other party's question. Instead, he grabbed the other party's neck and pulled him in front of him, and whispered into his ear, "Is there anyone else in the lighthouse?"

"No, I'm the only one in the lighthouse." Spear replied in a low voice, "Tell me quickly, Heidi..."

"Do you have any hiding place here?"

Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to finish asking, then asked the second question, "A place where the Germans can't find it."

"Yes, yes!" Spear nodded immediately, "Although it's not big, but..."

"Hurry and get two warm clothes. We'll pick up Heidi and Vanessa. We'll talk about the rest later."

As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, Spear immediately whispered, "Quickly let go!"

After catching the oil lamp and letting go of the opponent's neck, Spier opened the wooden door behind him, grabbed it from the side of the door, took out a woolen coat and stuffed it into Wei Ran, and whispered while taking another windbreaker.

Asked, "Where are they?"

"Come with me"

Wei Ran led the other party away from the lighthouse and quickly ran to the dock more than a hundred meters away.

At his low call, Heidi and Vanessa, still soaking in the water, immediately climbed up the river embankment.

"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Wring the water off your body and let's go back quickly." Wei Ran urged Heidi and Spear before they hugged each other.

Hearing this, the Heidi sisters immediately took off their sweaters and pants to wring out the moisture, and at the same time allowed Wei Ran and Spear to help them put on their windbreakers.

"Clothes and shoes must also be taken away."

Spier said extremely cautiously. Almost at the same time, Wei Ran also took out his own clothes and shoes, wrapped them in his coat, and threw them on his shoulders along with the wet clothes taken off by the sisters.

There was no extra communication, and no time wasted. After bypassing another round of patrols, the four of them quickly ran into the lighthouse.

"Sneeze!" Vanessa sneezed before the wooden door behind her closed.

"Go upstairs first!"

As he spoke, Spear took out a lighter from his pocket and relit the oil lamp, leading them to climb up the winding stairs to the lighthouse, and finally arrived at the room directly below the constantly rotating oversized kerosene lamp.

"Put on my clothes first"

Spear casually placed the oil lamp beside the table, opened a wooden box, took out three pairs of trousers and three shirts and distributed them to the three of Wei Ran. Then he rummaged through the box and found three pairs of thick wool socks.

"Victor, let me take you upstairs to change clothes."

Spear greeted Wei Ran, who had received the clothes, and left the warm and small room. He walked up the spiral staircase to a position less than three meters away from the kerosene lamp.

"Victor, what happened?"

Spier asked while Wei Ran was changing clothes, "Take off all your wet clothes. I will dry them for you later."

"We killed people"

Wei Ran put the clothes he had taken off on the steps and briefly told what happened in Saint-Omer. By the way, he also put on the clothes and pants provided by the other party.

"You killed two chain dogs?"

Spear frowned, and his handsome face showed a moment of panic. But soon, he said firmly and confidently, "Don't worry, Victor, I will protect you."

, leave the rest to me!"

"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran asked inquiringly.

After a moment of silence, Spear heard Heidi's call from downstairs, and whispered as he walked downstairs, "Let's explain it later, let's go down first."

They followed each other downstairs. When they returned to the room below, Heidi and Vanessa had already put on Spear's overalls, shirts and wool socks, and were wiping their wet hair with towels.

.

Seeing Heidi and Spear hugging each other without scruples and starting to kiss passionately, Wei Ran and Vanessa looked at each other, spread their hands, took the wet clothes that the sisters had changed, left the room temporarily, and spread out the clothes.

It was left to dry on the handrail of the stairs.

When the two of them came back, Spear had poured everyone a cup of hot tea and was busy heating the food.

"I haven't dared to contact you recently because I was worried that it would cause you trouble."
