I saw someone commenting, saying that I didn't understand much, it was indeed Lao Mu's pot, and I was in a hurry to finish this paragraph, but I didn't write it clearly.
In order not to affect future reading, here is a little extra to briefly narrate the story of Ivan and Yuri.
Because of the limited time, it is only a beginning, but it is enough for everyone to understand some of Ivan's background.
......
......
19... year, North-Zemlya Islands.
Like an uninvited guest, a huge icebreaker dominates the frozen sea, carving out a narrow passage that can be passed, and squeezing into a rudimentary dock.
To be precise, it was a makeshift stop, without any construction, everything was made of ice, and several heavy tracked trucks and cranes were parked in the snow.
In an environment of minus 30 degrees, only such a steel behemoth can function normally.
The crane stretched out its long arms and removed several heavy containers from the freighter behind the icebreaker, which were then taken by the truck into the mountains behind them.
Finally, a few small steel cages were hoisted, thick canvas wrapped in thick steel bars, and several polar bears, large and small, were hung up.
The youngest looked to be less than a year old, and was curled up in a corner of the cage in horror.
The cages were loaded onto trucks and transported through an open gate.
Boom Boom –
As the gate closes, the huge elevator begins to work, eventually reaching the underground space, which is located at a depth of more than 300 meters.
"Ivan, come here!"
A strong man covered in alcohol shouted to the teenager who was hiding to peek at the polar bear.
"Chief Kadolev, what are your orders?"
"From today onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of these big men," said Kadolev, "just feed them a little food every day, but these guys are fierce, and you have to be careful not to be used as food." ”
"Yes sir!"
Ivan was a little excited.
He loves polar bears, but this is the first time he's seen a real thing.
I just don't know what these guys Kadolev are doing here to get these polar bears here.
He was an orphan, and his family, friends, and the people in the village had all died in the last war.
At the age of thirteen, he escaped the catastrophe and was taken in by the army, where he finally came to this secret base after several rounds.
This year he is seventeen years old, and Kadolev has said that as long as he does well in the next two years, he will have the opportunity to leave here and serve in the regular army.
Although a member of the base, Ivan's range of activities is limited to the living quarters on the top floor, and his daily work is to help with the kitchen groceries, carry goods, and sometimes clean up, and is unaware of what is going on further underground.
To get to those places, you have to go through three levels, and a special card opens the final alloy gate.
He knew that the base was working on something very powerful, but he never wanted to look at it.
For him, it was already a very lucky thing to be able to survive.
Now he has an extra task to take care of polar bears, which makes him feel that his life is much more fulfilling.
Taking care of polar bears is a simple job.
They were kept in a row of steel rooms, and every day he had to take some frozen seal meat from the warehouse, thaw it, and throw it in through the feeding port.
These rooms have two passages.
One was a front he could reach, and the other was a hole in the opposite wall.
Ivan found that many polar bears were often driven out of the hole, sometimes in a day or two, sometimes up to half a month.
But no matter how long it takes, after these big men come back, there will be at least two or three days of manic periods.
Yelling in the room, refusing to eat food, scratching at alloy walls with sharp claws, even if they break their claws.
Two more went in and never came out, and Ivan was probably dead.
Only the youngest one was very quiet, and every time he came back, he would sleep in the corner, and when he was hungry, he would tap the feeding mouth to remind Ivan to feed him.
Ivan thinks it's smart, at least it knows how to feed itself first in such a predicament.
Gradually, Ivan became acquainted with the little polar bear, and carefully selected its seal meat, which was the place with the most meat.
Two years were fast to pass, and the time promised by Kadolev was getting closer and closer, but Ivan was a little reluctant to leave.
After two years of getting along, he felt that he had become friends with this little polar bear.
And as there are fewer and fewer polar bears, the baby polar bear is being taken away more and more frequently, and the night before Ivan leaves, the baby polar bear's room is still empty.
He left his bags in the door of it and sat on the cold floor, hoping to see it again before leaving.
Kadolev gave him a bottle of low-quality vodka, because the way back was long, he would sail slowly for dozens of hours on the frozen sea, and without the spirits he could easily freeze to death in the cabin.
Ivan opened the lid and poured it into his mouth.
It was the first time in his life that he had drunk alcohol, and the smell was strong and pungent, like a fiery dragon burning from his throat to his stomach.
Ahem......
Ivan was choked and coughed, his face turned red, and he looked around in a panic, but fortunately there was no one else.
Otherwise, it would be a very humiliating thing for others to know that he couldn't even drink a sip of wine.
"Hahaha, you're so stupid. ”
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ivan's head, startling him.
"Who? who's talking?"
He rose from the ground and looked around warily, but found no figure.
It's already the middle of the night, even the soldiers standing guard are resting, it's dirty and smelly here, how can anyone come?
But if there is no one, who is speaking?
"Hey, I'm right behind you. The voice said again.
Ivan turned abruptly, and all he could see was the alloy wall and half a furry paw sticking out of the feeding opening.
His chest heaved violently, and his heart pounded in his right chest.
Is this polar bear talking to him?
How is this possible?
Ivan felt that he was absolutely drunk, how could a polar bear talk?
"Are you surprised?" the voice sounded for the third time.
"Are you really talking?" asked Ivan.
"Is there anyone else here?"
"But why do you speak? You're a bear!"
"Strictly speaking, I'm in spiritual communication with you," said the polar bear, "and I learned that from those guys." ”
Spiritual communication?
Ivan was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
But he didn't think much of it, and the most important thing now was that he could talk to a polar bear!
This made his already flushed face even redder, and his hands trembled a little with excitement.
"You...... Hello, my name is Ivan, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov!"
"Hmm? your name is weird," said Polar Bear, "my name is Yuri, and that's what those guys gave me." ”
"Yuri?" said Ivan, "are you hungry? I can get you something to eat." ”
"Of course, I'm still going to eat the thigh meat of the seal," Yuri said, "and you're a good cook." ”
Ivan rushed into the warehouse and carried a large pile of seal meat to the site.
In order to thaw it as quickly as possible, he also brought a kerosene stove, cut the seal meat to the thickness of a finger, baked it slightly, and then put it in the feeding port.
"What are they taking you in for?" asked Ivan, "how do you say that...... Spiritual communication?"
"I don't know very well, but there's a terrible thing in there, and there's a good thing," Yuri said, "and the horrible thing forced me to learn to speak, and the good stuff made me even better, and I can scratch deep marks on the wall now." ”
Ivan was shocked again.
It's an alloy wall, and Yuri's claws are harder than alloy?
"They didn't know I was going to psychically communicate though, because I felt like they were all bad people," Yuri continued, "and they didn't know that I could leave marks on the wall. ”
"Then why are you communicating with me spiritually?"
"Because you're my friend," Yuri said, "and you're not like them, you're special. ”
Friends?
Ivan only felt a blissful vertigo, ignoring the second half of Yuri's words.
But he soon became gloomy, for after daybreak he was to follow the supply ship.
If he misses this opportunity, he will have to wait for half a year longer, and Kadorev will not agree to him staying here.
"What's wrong my friend," Yuri asked, "you don't look very happy." ”
"I'm leaving tomorrow," Ivan said, "Damn, why now?"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the south," Ivan said, "I'm going to go home first, although there's nothing there, and then I'll go to the army in the spring." ”
"I want to go home too. Yuri said.
"Where is your home?"
"I don't know, can you take me with me? I don't want to stay in this place. Yuri suddenly said, "Those guys in there are very bad, they still use people for experiments. ”
Ivan was suddenly stunned, using people for experiments?
It sounded creepy to him.
"What kind of experiment?"
"I don't know, I guess it's about the same as me," Yuri said, "but a lot of people don't seem to be able to take it anymore, and quite a few have died."
"There are also successful ones, there are very few of them, and they have been sent away last time.
"But these successful people have become evil, and if you see them, you will know. ”
Ivan suddenly remembered that the last time the supply ship came, two containers had indeed been sent out.
At that time, following the steel plate, he seemed to feel a cold breath coming from inside.
However, it was normal to be cold here, and he didn't care too much, and now it seems that it should be the group of people who were sent out.
"Can you take me out?" Yuri asked again, "I don't want to die here." ”
Ivan was silent, Yuri wanted to escape from this place, but was it possible?
The base is so well positioned that not to mention a polar bear, not even a rat will want to escape.
If he was Kadolev, maybe there would be a little chance.
Wrong!
Ivan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, there was still a chance!
Every few days, the base transports some garbage out, which is a very small and narrow elevator, which usually has a soldier handle, and everything sent out will be strictly checked.
But Ivan was well acquainted with these soldiers, and might be able to think of a way.
"I can try," Ivan said, after making up his mind, "but I can only send you out the door, and you will have to figure out the rest of the way." ”
"Okay, then I'm going to eat more meat now. ”
......
Time passed little by little, slowly approaching six o'clock in the morning, and the base was still quiet.
Ivan took the vodka that Kadolev gave him and pushed a trolley transporting garbage to the door of the lift.
"Hey, Ivan, why are you so early?" a soldier greeted him.
"I'm leaving today," Ivan said with a smile, trying to look natural, "but I remember that the kitchen garbage hadn't been thrown away yesterday, and I didn't want to be criticized by the head chef after I left." ”
"You're a nice lad. ”
"Thank you," Ivan said, taking the flask from his pocket, "would you like a few sips, this was given to me by Chief Kadolev." ”
"Vodka?"
The two soldiers' eyes lit up.
In the base, even a bottle of low-quality vodka is an incomparably precious treasure.
"But we're still standing guard. ”
"Don't worry, man, it's going to be a shift change soon, and a few mouthfuls will be fine. ”
In the end, the two soldiers could not resist the temptation of the spirits, and drank the pot of vodka with a smile.
In order to make them happy, Ivan also stole a little dry beef from the kitchen.
Seeing that the two were already a little drunk, Ivan returned to Yuri's room in fear.
"I've finished drinking, but I'm not asleep yet. ”
"It's okay, as long as it's not a sober person, I have a way. ”
Ivan didn't know what Yuri was doing, but when he opened the alloy door and led Yuri to the door of the elevator, the two soldiers were already on the ground and snoring.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he took the card from the soldier and turned on the lift.
"Thank you, friend, I will remember you. ”
"No thanks. ”
Watching the elevator slowly rise, until Yuri could no longer be seen, he returned the same way, carrying the backpack he had prepared a long time ago, and came to the main elevator to wait.
At eight o'clock sharp, Kadolev and everyone arrived at their posts, and the gates of the base opened.
Feeling the cold wind outside, Ivan's heart was on fire.
Yuri should have escaped!
Huge icebreakers and supply ships were on the humble docks, and he would be able to get out of here and head back to the warm south.
Toot – Toot –
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded inside the base, causing Ivan to break out in a cold sweat.
Oh no, was it discovered?
More than a dozen armored vehicles sped out of the base and chased in the direction of the east.
Ivan's heart was about to rise to his throat, and he was worried about Yuri.
But soon, he discovers that he should be more worried about himself.
"Ivan," Kadolev's pale face, with incomparable indifference, "you have disappointed me too much!"
"Sir, listen to me......"
Bang –
Kadolev did not listen to his explanation and a shot hit him in the chest, and the bullet exploded a bloody black hole in the left chest.
Ivan felt that with every breath, part of the blood in his body was frozen into ice, and the sharp pain made his consciousness almost blurred.
"Isn't he dead yet, take him back," Kadolev said to his soldiers, "doesn't he want to let the bear run away, let him make dinner for the bear." ”
Ivan was dragged back to the base, leaving blood all the way behind.
Yuri also didn't get far and was dragged back by two armored vehicles in chains.
A man and a bear were locked up in a small alloy room, and the only silence that awaited them was deathly.
Yuri licked the wounds on his body, which were not serious for him and would soon recover.
Actually, it can run away, but it doesn't worry about Ivan, so it has been hiding in the nearby mountains.
Then, seeing Ivan being shot, it gave up resistance and was taken back to the base.
"I can't leave you alone, my friend. ”
Yuri said as he opened his mouth wide, baring his sharp fangs.
In order to paralyze the guys in the lab, it stores most of the absorbed energy in its teeth, and although this energy cannot be detected, it will cause a lot of changes in the body, which can be seen at a glance.
But it doesn't matter if it's a tooth, those people don't check its teeth.
Now it releases this energy and slowly repairs Ivan's wounds.
Ivan's wounds slowly healed, and he gradually regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a large mouth full of fangs, and a pair of large eyes full of sympathy and approval.
And a lot of gratitude.
"Yuri, why didn't you run away?"
Yuri didn't answer him this question, but said, "I said you were special, your heart is on the right side, so you survived."
"But what's more special about you is that you have the potential to learn mental power.
"Not everybody will be able to communicate with me spiritually, my friend, and you're the first one so far. ”
"But we ......," Ivan looked around, "as if we were locked up." ”
"That's right," Yuri said with a grin, grinning, "and in the future, we may have a hard time, you may be the subject of experiments, no, yes, they won't let someone like you go."
"But don't worry, I will teach you how to use and control mental power, how to absorb and store that powerful energy, and we will live. ”
Ivan smiled wryly and nodded, he found that being able to be friends with Yuri was the greatest blessing of his life.
Even if it cost him his life, he would not hesitate to do it.
But as Yuri said, they must live.
Only by living can there be hope.
"Do you regret it?" asked Yuri, "if it weren't for me, you might already be on your way home by now." And now, you're probably going to be experimenting for the rest of your life, and you're a good experiment. ”
"No, I won't regret it!" said Ivan, bitterly embarrassed, "I don't have a home anymore, because I don't have any relatives anymore, and it's nice to live here." ”
"I can be your relative, maybe we can be brothers. ”
"Haha......" Ivan laughed, "that's great my brother, you should call me brother, I'm much older than you." ”
"No, I'm my brother, I'm taller than you, I'm stronger than you. ”
"No, no, I'm my brother!"
......
The end result of the argument is that there is no result.
Ivan happily leaned against Yuri and looked at the cold wall.
Little did he know that what awaited him behind the cold walls was more than twenty years of torment.
But anyway, they're still alive now, so he's smiling a lot.
It would be even better if there was another bottle of vodka.
