Chapter 289: Michiko Saikyo
Ling Feng's explanation made Liang Yue completely speechless for this man
She didn't even know how to describe Ling Feng
Because he has his own set of behavioral logic for doing things
It was such a pure emotion that no matter what he did, he never felt that he was wrong
Even sacrificing others to achieve his own goals, Ling Feng also had a way to justify himself
The point is that Ling Feng is not quibbling, he thinks he is right from the bottom of his heart
Pure good, or pure evil, are things that make people feel frightened
Liang Yue kept silent and no longer communicated with Ling Feng
In the evening, the temperature plummets
Ling Feng said to Liang Yue and the others: "Let's go back and rest first in the evening!" Now that his vision has deteriorated, he is not worried that Zhang Yi will notice the abnormality. β
He took the members of the special combat team back, and on the way he passed by the excavation site of the tunnel to inspect the work
There are more than 1,000 surviving residents in Xujia Town, and nearly 1,000 laborers can be dispatched
But it's impossible for so many people to dig at the same time
Batches must be divided, and twenty people work in each batch
Shifts are then made every half hour
The excavation at the beginning is the most tiring
Because there is a certain depth of frozen ground below the surface, it is very difficult to dig by hand
Ling Feng walked over with the captains and asked Academician Wu, who was in charge of directing the project, "How was it, did the first day's work go well?" β
Academician Wu said: "Everything went according to the original plan. If nothing else, we could dig around the clock and we could open the 1,500-metre-long tunnel in a month! β
"Andβboom!"
Academician Wu made an explosive gesture and smiled: "We will use 2,000 kilograms of explosives to send Zhang Yi's shelter to the sky!" β
Ling Feng nodded with satisfaction
He looked at the construction site, which looked busy and in full swing
There were several armed fighters guarding the area
Not far away, the people waiting for them to hand over their shifts were already waiting with shovels and bamboo baskets in their hands
Suddenly, Ling Feng frowned, and he quickly walked up to a villager and stopped him
"You, look up and let me take a look!"
The villager had a scarf wrapped around his face, but he was small
Hearing Ling Feng's order, he ripped off his scarf, revealing a childish face
Ling Feng's eyes widened suddenly, "How old are you?" β
"I'm thirteen."
The boy replied honestly
Ling Feng suddenly became furious and shouted at Xu Dongtang and Academician Wu nearby: "Didn't I say that children under the age of sixteen should not let them work!" β
"Do you know that children are the future and hope of the nation!"
Xu Dongtang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Team Ling, we are all farmers, don't look at him as only thirteen years old, but his hard work is no worse than that of adults in the city." β
Ling Feng said angrily: "If I say no, I can't do it!" No matter how tense the project is, we must have a bottom line when we do things! β
He pointed to the boy, "Bring him back to me at once!" This is a battlefield, and children can't be allowed to join it! βΟΟΟΗm
Xu Dongtang hurriedly pulled the child aside, "Yes, yes, I'll take him back immediately!" β
The boy looked at Ling Feng with a look of gratitude and adoration in his eyes
Not far away, Liang Yue witnessed this scene, only to feel even more speechless
She really didn't know how to evaluate Ling Feng as a person
Ding crab?
Liang Yue was speechless, but it was true that the two were very similar
Xu Dongtang asked people to take the child away
Ling Feng said to him: "In order to speed up the progress of the project, our tunnel must not stop for 24 hours. Mayor Xu, I hope you will take the lead and let everyone work hard to overcome it. β
Xu Dongtang was dumbfounded when he heard this
Ling Feng had never said anything to him about this matter
No, Ling Feng had never considered the opinions of him and the villagers of Xujia Town
Including coming to dig tunnels, these people don't know what to do now
Hearing that it was going to rotate for 24 hours, Xu Dongtang was stupid
"Team Ling, isn't this too much work?"
Ling Feng asked rhetorically, "Is it big?" There are 40 people in two shifts per hour, and about 1,000 people at the end of the day. Isn't that reasonable? β
Xu Dongtang argued: "But in this kind of weather, even if you only work for half an hour a day, ordinary people's bodies can't stand it!" β
"What's more...... If it is really a continuous rotation, we don't know how long this project will need to be done. β
"Team Ling, what the hell are you going to do?"
Xu Dongtang plucked up the courage to ask
Ling Feng didn't explain to Xu Dongtang, he just patted him lightly on the shoulder with his hand
"Lao Xu, you just need to cooperate with our work. Do you understand? β
"Everything we do is for the good of your Xujia Town. If you don't get rid of the demon Zhang Yi, you will all die in the future! β
"Be smart, and don't think I'm hurting your people!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left, without giving Xu Dongtang any chance to bargain
Or in his eyes, Xu Dongtang is not qualified to bargain
"Let's go back and rest! I'll be back tomorrow! β
Ling Feng said to Liang Yue and the others with a smile
As the main force of the frontal feint attack, they launch an ability attack, and the cost is also very large
Liang Yue saw through Ling Feng at this time, so he didn't say anything, and followed him across the river and returned to Xujia Town
After going back, someone immediately instructed the women of Xujia Town to quickly prepare food and bring it to them
After a while, a table of food was served in front of Ling Feng and the others
The main foods are steamed buns and grilled fish, after all, these two foods are the most stocked today
Ling Feng ate it in a big gulp, and he could bite off most of the handmade steamed buns with one mouth
For the next period of time, life became unpretentious and boring
Ling Feng took a few strangers with him, and every day he made a feint around the shelter as usual
Then on the other side, the villagers of Xujia Town became coolies, digging tunnels hard
Since Xu Fatzi is an alien, he is the object that will be brought back to the Xishan base in the future, so no one asks him to participate in the work
But after losing the communication equipment, he also completely cut off the connection with Zhang Yi
It's the third day
The tunnel was successfully excavated for more than 100 meters, and at this time, the difficulty of the working environment was reflected
The deeper you go, the thinner the oxygen becomes
There is no oxygen supply equipment, and air can only be delivered through the most primitive method through a rubber tube
Similar to the most primitive diving device, the outside is manually shaken to pump air into the tunnel
However, this method is obviously far less effective than modern equipment
Coupled with the cold temperatures, and the high level of labor, someone finally fell first
There were shouts in the tunnel, and everyone carried people out in a panic
There was a military doctor in the special operations team, and after going over to check it out, he shook his head
"Acute myocardial infarction, can't be saved."
The man who died was Xu Youzhi, fifty-two years old, and a construction worker
Older people are most likely to have myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction in a low temperature state
It's not that there is no way to treat this disease, but it needs to be quickly sent to a place with a good medical environment for bypass surgery
There are such medical conditions at the West Hill base
But there is no need to go through such trouble for an ordinary villager
So Xu Youzhi was directly pronounced the death penalty
The villagers of Xujia Town looked at Xu Youzhi's still warm body, and their hearts were full of anger
Xu Youzhi is not dead, but he is dead
And he put his life on the line to work for the Xishan base
A young man yelled at the members of the special forces around him, "It's inhumane for you to do this! This is using us as cattle and horses, and Lao Tzu will stop doing it! β
As he spoke, he angrily dropped the shovel in his hand
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers of Xujia Town also threw down the tools in their hands and shouted to give them an explanation
And Shen Hong, who was in charge of the work, frowned, and said coldly: "The orders of the organization cannot be violated!" Everything we do is to avenge you. β
"Now that we have come to this point, anyone who dares to retreat is equivalent to a deserter!"
The word deserter was bitten a little heavily by Shen Hong
He shook his assault rifle, the muzzle looming at the villagers
This simple action is like a basin of cold water poured on their heads, which makes the blood in everyone's bones cool down
Xu Dongtang sighed: "Carry the person back!" Substitutions on! β
With pathos in their eyes, the villagers could only carry Xu Youzhi's body away and prepare to take it back to Xujia Town for burial
However, when one person dies, the aftermath becomes out of control
As the tunnels get deeper and deeper, the conditions and intensity of the work change rapidly
Second, third, fourth......
More and more villagers in Xujia Town are dying in the process of digging tunnels
Some people are doing it, and all of a sudden they fall headlong to the ground
There are also people who come home after a day's work, lie in bed and never wake up
The human body is inherently particularly fragile
They have to do their best to survive in the extremely cold temperature
Now they are forced to work in harsh conditions, as if it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and they lost their lives
In the back, several corpses are brought out of the tunnels every day
The mood of the villagers in Xujia Town also became irritable as the number of corpses increased
Although they did not dare to directly clash with the gun-wielding special operations team, there were constant verbal clashes and small private movements
After Ling Feng learned of this situation, he was unusually calm
Because everything was expected by them
"Just pick a few leaders and shoot them to death. Some people don't know to be afraid without seeing blood. β
"In addition, we only ask for the progress of the project, and let their own village and town mayors manage it."
"They are the best at managing their own people, and they are better than us."
