Chapter 44: Night
When Yu Yang opened his eyes again, it was already pitch black around him, and there was no light.
Yu Yang stood in place and couldn't help but be stunned, he was used to staying in later generations, and he didn't expect that the night in Stalingrad would be so dark, he could hardly see any light, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
The moon was obscured by the thick black smoke over the city, Yu Yang got up from the ground, followed the route in his memory, came to the window and looked out, except for the occasional "shooting star" in the sky, he couldn't see a little bit of the situation outside.
Touched his head: "Damn, I'll be the same as at home in the future, there will be street lights everywhere!" ”
Some helplessly took out a cigarette from his pocket, Yu Yang lit one for himself, the short-term flame of the lighter illuminated the position around Yu Yang, but it was quickly extinguished, and the surroundings fell into boundless darkness again, and the sound of guns outside the house has not stopped, flickering far and near, as if there was a war all around.
Yu Yang helplessly glanced up at the dark ceiling and touched his head: "My brain!" "I am also going to touch the surrounding environment at night, taking advantage of the darkness, now it seems that I have a problem even going downstairs, in case I accidentally touch the thunder I left behind, Yu Yang may become the first unlucky ghost to be killed by my own thunder.
There is no night vision device in his hand, and there is no lighting equipment, in the dark Stalingrad, he can be said to be unable to move an inch, he has just rested for half a day, and now he does not have any sleepiness, I don't know how to spend tonight, the long night, no sleep, no accompaniment, and in a very strange environment, he may be in danger all the time.
Where there is no reference, the flow of time will also slow down, Yu Yang doesn't know how long time has passed, in the infinite darkness, Yu Yang feels as if about an hour or two has passed, but how long the real time has passed, Yu Yang doesn't know, and there is no way to know.
Slowly groping his way up from the ground, he decided that he couldn't continue to wait here, even if he couldn't see his fingers outside, but since he decided to go out to check the surrounding environment, Yu Yang still decided to go out.
Borrowing a lighter, Yu Yang could barely see the surrounding environment, Yu Yang was very aware that he put his lighter in his hands before entering the mission, otherwise, he didn't even have a flame now.
Finding a wooden stick that was constantly too long, Yu Yang pulled a piece of ground and picked up a piece of clothing left by the Soviets who fell on the ground, and wrapped the clothes on the wooden stick in the dark, without a wire to fix it, Yu Yang looked around, and after not finding any tools that could be used, he gave up the method of fixing with wire.
After taking the ZIPPO lighter and lighting the bundled simple torches, he simply packed his luggage, carried two sniper rifles, held the M4A1 rifle, and slowly walked towards the stairs with the torches.
Walking to the staircase, Yu Yang carefully put aside the torch that was already crumbling, and then cautiously walked to the side of the thunderbolt, and carefully inserted the safety back.
From the birth of the grenade to the present, in addition to the appearance has changed a lot, but the basic trigger conditions have not changed, so this afternoon, Mao Zi was able to dismantle the tricky mine arranged by Yu Yang, of course, it was also based on Yu Yang's voice reminder.
Put away the grenade, Yu Yang threw the torch to the ground, and stepped on the torch to extinguish it, this kind of night, walking on the road outside with a torch is no different from looking for death.
Slowly from the third floor to the first floor, the sight outside the house was better than Yu Yang imagined, but it was only a little better, about three or four meters Fan Wei's things beside him, and then looked at it from a distance, it was all pitch black, which was still based on the fact that there was some residual snow on the ground.
You know, normally if there is snow on the ground, the visible distance is very ideal, but because the moon is obscured, the occasional revelation of starlight, so that there is a trace of light in the world, just like the current Stalingrad, the German army occupies 80% of the area, and is gradually swallowing more territory, the Soviets hold on to a glimmer of hope, in Stalingrad painful struggle.
Yu Yang leaned against the wall tightly, cautiously groping forward step by step, every step he took, he would be cautious, not daring to make too much movement, he couldn't see the surroundings clearly, he didn't know how many enemies or allies were around him, if he made too much noise and alarmed the enemy, Yu Yang might be killed by a bullet shot from nowhere.
After walking about ten meters forward, Yu Yang came to the door of a small building, and he couldn't see the appearance of the small building clearly, but he could clearly see that the wall in front of him was pitch black, which should be the traces of everyone burning.
When Stalingrad was on the German offensive, the flames burned for a whole month, and when the German pilots bombed Stalingrad at night, they came back to report the situation and used the simplest adjective to describe the city, a sea of fire!
But as the war continued, the Germans stormed Stalingrad and occupied most of the area, the non-stop bombing of the German army also stopped, and the night in Stalingrad was as dark as the walls of Stalingrad.
The building next to Yu Yang has no gate, and it may have been demolished for firewood, or it may have been burned to ashes in the German bombing.
Yu Yang cautiously, step by step, slowly walked into the house, every step, carefully probed, to make sure that he would not make any sound, every step, it would take a few seconds or more to walk, to make sure that his feet would not make a sound, before he dared to continue to move forward.
There are a total of three rooms on the first floor, and after entering the room, Yu Yang's visibility range became lower again, almost the same as the visibility in the small building where he was hiding just now, stretching out his hand, he could barely see his hands, and because this was on the first floor, with the help of the poor starlight outside, he could see clearly.
Yu Yang walked into the first room on the left side of the door, which had been blown up into a big gap, and it was empty and there was nothing in the room.
A few steps forward, the other room was about the same, the room was pitch black, Yu Yang lightly shone it with a lighter, except for some scattered garbage, it was empty.
The last room was on the other side, and Yu Yang walked in to take a look, and it was about the same as the first room, the walls were half collapsed.
