Chapter Seventy-Four: Hitchhiking
"Here's Louise their pass, and tomorrow's ticket. I went with them to Moscow, from Moscow to Berlin, and from Berlin to Geneva. ”
Zhou Zhen looked up at Louise and the three of them, they were all excited, reminiscing about the past in the somewhat empty wooden house.
Most of the stuff has been sold, and the cottage has been sold to the family on the farm.
Although it is only six or seven percent of the market price, in this era, the buyer's market is too small, and it is good to be able to sell at this price.
"Are you ready to live after you go to Geneva?"
"In order to prevent suspicion from the Soviet side, the house has not yet been bought, but the funds for the purchase have been approved."
"Good." Zhou Zhen took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Ayrte. "This is the production plan, refining plan, transportation plan of Krasnoyarsk Mining Company for the recent period. I also marked out the person in charge of each link. ”
With some surprise, Ayrt snatched the stack of papers, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his arms. "I noticed that these are handwritten Russian, and your level of Russian is ...... Progress is fast. ”
Zhou Zhen knew that he was suspicious, but under the premise of cooperation, after he came up with real information, no matter how big his suspicions were, he would not reveal them.
Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "When they arrive in Switzerland, I will give you the rest of the information, which will definitely make you feel that it is worth your money." ”
He nodded. "Rest assured, our credibility is trustworthy. What's more, we've seen your value. ”
Being able to act as a fugitive in this closed Siberian city as if there was no one in the world, the information obtained now is beyond the reach of many intelligence experts.
The most valuable thing now is not this information, but Zhou Zhen as a person.
Just to envelop Zhou Zhen, this matter will also be done with all his heart.
It wasn't dawn yet, and Zhou Zhen and Louise had already woken up from their dreams.
There was also Al in the living room, and the two rarely spoke, silently packing their luggage.
Zhou Zhen packed the quilt into a ball, tied it tightly and then mentioned the living room.
Alt got up from one of the bunks and rubbed his eyes. "So early."
"I'm going to leave early, it's too late."
Ayrt asked, "Do you remember where we were in contact in Moscow?" ”
Zhou Zhen pointed to his head. "It's all in my head."
After the topic of communication was finished, the two of them had no topic.
The sound of their words woke up the two girls in the attic, and after Zhou Zhen washed his face, the two girls hugged Zhou Zhen from behind.
"Daddy Kivens, you have to be careful."
Zhou Zhen turned around and pinched Yulenka's face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will see you in Geneva." ”
This little girl who lacks father's love has a blind trust and dependence on Zhou Zhen in the nearly month of getting along.
Kivens has taken the place of her unimpressed father, and there is no other factor in the affection for Kivens.
Holding her in his arms and intimacy for a while, with Sophia's help, he put on a cotton coat and carried the quilt behind him.
Zhou Zhen did not reveal the secret that he had space, and all the food he brought at the beginning was now exchanged for gold and banknotes.
In this day and age, grain is a harder currency than gold.
So Louise didn't have much money in their hands, but it was enough to cover the expenses for a few years.
The U.S. side will buy them a house, and Louise and Sophia will be able to live peacefully as long as they find a job.
Before dawn, Zhou Zhen came out of the cabin, waved to the four of them, and then stepped on his skis and disappeared into the forest.
After walking not far away, Zhou Zhen transferred the quilt to the space, from the periphery of the city, to the direction of the train station.
The train from here to the west, Zhou Zhen figured out all the train numbers.
It was impossible for him to leave in a passenger car, as he would face multiple identity checks on the bus. It is also possible to use Elt to obtain a new identity, but his whereabouts will be known to the Americans.
And Zhou Zhen will definitely not control his own security in the hands of others, and he will also show his strength in front of the Americans.
So, he had to leave alone on a freight train.
The speed of freight trains is slower than that of passenger cars, and if Zhou Zhen wants to keep track of the progress of his trip, he must plan his route.
When he was about to reach the edge of the city, Zhou Zhen took off his skis, loaded into the space, and then walked to the vicinity of the train station like an ordinary Russian, wrapped in an overcoat.
Jumping into the wall, his senses turned on, avoiding everyone's gaze, and coming to the train he wanted to take.
It was an arms transport train from Irkutsk, and each carriage was filled with ammunition.
Both ends of the carriage are locked and cannot be opened from the inside, while the lock is disposable and will not be opened destructively until the destination.
And there is an escort in each carriage, their freedom is restricted, they are locked in the carriage, and they arrive at their destination with the train before they get out of the carriage.
This arrangement is generally very safe, as soon as someone approaches the carriage, they will notice it and warn them not to approach.
At the end of the carriage where they lived, there were two windows that made it easy for them to lean out and observe the front and back of the carriage.
Zhou Zhen came to the bottom of the last carriage, sensed the front, came out from under the car, and knocked on the window.
He heard a mutter, and then the window opened, and a figure peeked out.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhou Zhen slapped him on the side of his ear, and he fainted without saying a word.
And Zhou Zhen grabbed the window edge, and his body was like a nimble cat, and he got in.
After coming in, Zhou Zhen found that the air inside was really dirty, and there was a small bed in it.
The small bed and the floor are piled up with all kinds of clutter, and there is simply no place to put your feet.
A 25-kilogram iron drum stands out and exudes a strong smell of wine.
Along the way, the escorts will have food at the stations along the way, but alcohol is not provided.
As soon as the train left for more than half a month, the alcoholic soldiers would bring themselves a barrel of bulk wine before getting on the train.
Zhou Zhen checked the opponent's gun, then unloaded the bullets and put away all his bullets.
Then, he took a closer look at the space of the munitions delivery compartment.
The escort could not enter the carriage, and the door was sealed.
They live in a small space, less than a meter and a half wide stretch of carriages, flanked by windows.
However, there is a corner leading to the carriage, where you can wash your face and wash your hands on one side and a toilet on the other.
The corridor at this corner is less than a meter wide and only about one and a half meters deep, which is not enough for one person to sleep.
But this corner will be the area where Zhou Zhen will live in the next few days.
While the soldier hadn't woken up yet, Zhou Zhen took out the prepared food, candy, chocolate, and quilt and piled them up at the innermost end of the corner.
Then he dragged the soldier around the corner, took out a pistol, aimed it at his head, and pinched his man.
He gasped heavily, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he wanted to vomit.
was slapped by Zhou Zhen and knocked unconscious, and it is normal for him to have a concussion.
Zhou Zhen exerted force with his left hand, pressed his body against the sink, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at his head. "You can vomit as much as you want, but it's better not to scream."
He spat out several mouthfuls of sour food scraps before gasping for breath and asking, "Who are you?" ”
Pressed by Zhou Zhen's left hand, he struggled several times, but he felt that he was pressed by a mountain.
"I'm just someone who wants to take a ride......"
Facing the muzzle of the gun, feeling the force that suppressed his body, he quickly understood his situation.
The protection of this kind of arms transport vehicle is very strict, but now that Zhou Zhen has entered the carriage, this kind of protection is a kind of protection for him.
The doors at both ends of the carriage are locked from the outside, so it is difficult for people from outside to get in and people from inside to get out.
As long as the escort is not exposed, he can spend a peaceful time in the carriage.
"Where are you going?"
"Moscow."
"It's impossible, we're going to change the front of the car twice and regroup it on the way, and you can't go unnoticed."
"That's my problem, for now, you just have to choose whether to resist or compromise."
"I don't seem to have a choice......"
Only then did Zhou Zhen let go of the back of his neck and said with a smile: "You made a smart choice. ”
Only then did he see Zhou Zhen's appearance clearly, and when he saw Zhou Zhen's much stronger figure than himself, and the pistol in his hand, he sighed.
Then, he saw the quilt next to him, a bag of bread, and the chocolate, the coffee.
He froze for a moment, then lay there again and vomited.
Finally, he pursed his lips and turned back to face Zhou Zhen. "Do you have a dark line here? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bring so much food on the bus, and it's still a high-end ingredient that is rarely seen. ”
Zhou Zhen wished he had misunderstood, and nodded with a smile. "Yes, that's why I was able to get into your compartment without any problems. You just have to do nothing every day, drink and get food at each station, as before, and I won't take any of your supplies. ”
The negotiations went well, and not everyone had the courage to be a hero in the face of threats to their lives.
Of course, Zhou Zhen didn't dare to fully believe him, and after asking for today's food code, he put on the military coat of this soldier named Kansk and received food at the window for two days.
He didn't show the slightest flaw, and the gun he held in his hand under the window was aimed at Kansk.
The train left the station, and Zhou Zhen returned the food that belonged to him.
And he couldn't help but ask, "Can I taste your coffee?" ”
"Of course."
This train has extremely high authority and goes all the way west, with most trains giving way.
Once Cansk compromised in front of Zhou Zhen, he couldn't find any chance to resist later, and finally even got used to Zhou Zhen's existence and enjoyed the food that belonged to Zhou Zhen.
A week later, they successfully arrived in Yekaterinburg, a large city on the dividing line between Asia and Europe.
