Chapter 69: Rescue in the Depths of the Mine

The sound of trotting footsteps echoed repeatedly in the pitch-black mine, three pillars of light cut through the darkness in the mine, and shone out from the bend of the mine, three people carrying knapsack oxygen cylinders and breathing masks, wearing miners' helmets on their heads, turned on the small rechargeable lights hanging on the top of the hats, and trotted along the small railroad tracks extending forward in the mine deep into the mine.

From the figure and size of the three people, it can be clearly seen that these are a man and two women, it is Isabelle, Farhad, and Eliham who found the knapsack oxygen cylinder and returned to the mine, and the weapons and ammunition on the three are still in the cave hall, and they are equipped with some equipment that they think can be used.

In addition to his own set of knapsack oxygen cylinders, Farhad, who was dressed in a long robe, carried a set of knapsack oxygen cylinders on his chest.

Elliham, who was also dressed in a robe, had a knapsack oxygen cylinder for herself, three canvas sappers and small sapper folding shovels hanging from her waist belt with buckles.

In addition to her own knapsack oxygen cylinder, Isabel wore a canvas medical kit diagonally over her shoulders and a small instrument tied to the sleeve of one arm with an elastic strap.

Because of the use of special equipment such as knapsack oxygen cylinders, the oxygen in the oxygen cylinders and the matching breathing mask are used to supply oxygen, so you can't tear open your feet and run hard as usual, and you have to maintain a certain breathing rate, which has great limitations.

Although Isabel was anxious, Song Xiaoshuang didn't know what was going on, so she could only trot deep into the mine with Farhad and Eliham.

Isabel could only pray silently that Song Xiaoshuang, who could bring miracles to others, could bring good luck to herself, after all, Song Xiaoshuang was a wizard, a powerful person, although he had never admitted that he was a wizard, he couldn't easily hang up in this damn mine.

A few minutes earlier, in the lobby of the mine, Isabel had been ecstatic to find a knapsack oxygen cylinder in the cargo box of a four-wheeled off-road military vehicle, and both Farhad and Elliham had quickly climbed into the same military vehicle and found two other sets of the same oxygen cylinder in two toolboxes.

Farhad and Eliham were looking for other useful equipment in the car with Isabel, such as miner's hats, sapper folding shovels, first-aid kits and other items, and soon the three of them noticed that several agents came over with guns, and not far away, the gloomy Rashad had a strange look in his eyes, as long as he was not an idiot, he understood what the hell Rashad was fighting!

"Stand back, I'll throw a grenade at anyone who gets close to the car! Rassad, there are only three sets of knapsack oxygen cylinders, and he wants to go into the mine and figure it out by himself! ”

Farhad threw away the sapper folding shovels he had found in his hand, placed his hands on his waist, his fingers clasped into the safety pins of several grenades, and looked at the agents approaching with their guns, his eyes wide and his voice whispered in Arabic.

Seeing that the tribal leader was being "bullied", dozens of tribal warriors who were already preparing to withdraw from the cave hall under Farid's temporary order were aimed at Rashad and a few agents.

The faces of Rashad and several agents changed, just the light and heavy weapons in the hands of the tribal warriors could turn several of them into ashes, the tribal warriors not only had heavy machine guns, recoilless guns, but also an automatic grenade launcher in their hands, and Farhad even clasped his fingers on the grenade, and he really wanted to hang here if he didn't make a mistake.

As an intelligence head specializing in intelligence work, Rashad is naturally not a dull person, and he resisted the idea of sending Farhad and others to prison and locked up, and shook his head slightly to signal a few agents close to the military vehicle to leave, and the agents naturally left far away from the speed of the goodness, but also closed the safety speed of the AK74 assault rifle in his hand.

The major, who had been sitting on the door pedal of another military vehicle, swept his eyes over Rashad and several agents with some solemnity, and then looked at Fahad, who was standing in the cargo box of the military vehicle with his fingers still on the grenade on his waist, coughed lightly and gestured to Captain Farid to take the soldiers out.

Captain Farid didn't understand, and whispered an order to dozens of soldiers who had already formed a team to trot out of the mine hall with light and heavy weapons, at this time, although the sound of firefighting in the desert canyon had long stopped, it was already in the follow-up work of cleaning up the battlefield, and Captain Farid led the team out to speed up the process, and there would be nothing to do.

Seeing that the major's subordinates, under the command of Captain Farid, were trotting out of the cave hall at a fairly neat pace, Fahad removed his hands from the grenade, and gestured with speed to signal the tribal warriors to take away the tribesmen and women who had already eaten about the same canned luncheon meat.

A few sturdy tribal warriors carried out Farhad's orders well, and by the time Eliham found a few small rechargeable lamps used by the miners, the armed tribal warriors and tribal villagers had already withdrawn, and the time was just over a minute.

The major left the military vehicle, limped a few steps to Rassad's side, patted Rashad on the shoulder, and signaled that there was something to go back to the border checkpoint.

The major walked in the back because of the problem of his leg injury, did not look back before leaving, and said in Arabic in a low tone: "Farhad, bring Song Xiaoshuang out, it is best to bring it out alive, this is an order!" ”

Hearing the Major's sudden words, Farhad, who had already allocated the equipment they had brought and was about to jump out of the military vehicle and go deep into the mine again, was obviously stunned, and quickly understood that the Major was hinting that the major was in charge of the intelligence head himself, and guaranteed that he would be okay with the station chief of his major, and he only needed to concentrate on finding Song Xiaoshuang.

Fahad gestured, the three of them jumped off the military vehicle and threw away the weapons and ammunition that were already cumbersome, carried the allocated equipment on their bodies, and after checking that there were no omissions, they trotted to the entrance of the mine with small railroad tracks, and ran quickly to the depths of the mine by taking advantage of the dim light of the explosion-proof lighting lamp still on the rock wall of the mine (there is still enough oxygen in the first section of the mine, and there is no need to wear an oxygen breathing mask immediately)

In the depths of the dark mine, only the monotonous footsteps of Isabel and the three trotters in the mine could be heard, and three pillars of light that were not very bright were moving forward while constantly shaking.

Wearing a breathing mask, Isabel tried to keep her breathing steady, but she felt that her heartbeat had an inexplicable tendency to beat faster, Isabel had gone deep into this mine, so she naturally led the way, followed by Fahad and Eliham, listening to the continuous echo of footsteps in the mine, as well as the harsh metal impact sound of kicking stones on the small railroad tracks, except for the area partially illuminated by the small overhead lighting lamp, the front of the mine was dark and unusually eerie!

Isabel secretly complained to herself, the hairs on her back stood on end, and she suddenly remembered that she hadn't worn plain glasses for many days, and that the special wine she was used to bringing with her had long since been drunk.

This is the punishment given by the prairie tribe wizard to Isabel for peeping into the prayer ceremony without consent, and the main effect is to make Isabel less emboldened, which is simply unacceptable for Isabel who is engaged in field research activities.

Fortunately, there is not only one place in this world where there is a wizard with great ability, another wizard through secret arts and experiments, gave Isabel two ways to solve the problem of less courage, wearing a pair of flat glasses on weekdays, and bringing some wizards to show their abilities during the field surgery examination still seem to be very ordinary wine, Isabel's sequelae of less courage have been successfully suppressed, and it is only possible to reach such a point that the sequelae cannot really be lifted.

Isabel was now in the cave and felt terrible, although she knew that Farhad and Eliham were next to her, and there was no one else, but the feeling in her heart was becoming more and more depressed.

Isabel is also an old fritter who has experienced a lot of twists and turns, and many of the rebel armed bandits are hanging in her hands, which can be said to be a lot of people with bloody and bloody hands at all, and they can't bear the sequelae of becoming less and more prominent, the heartbeat is inexplicably faster, and the hair on the back is not standing up, and the whole person is like a different person.

Isabel really felt uncomfortable, the speed of the trot slowed down, and the two people who followed behind him, Farhad and Eliham, thought that Isabel had discovered something, and quickly slowed down the speed of their advance, and then there was nothing but small railroad tracks on the way to the mine where they were heading, and Isabel only changed the trot to walking, and did not know what she was doing.

Although I wonder if Isabel was stimulated by something? There was a brief blur in his mind to do this, but Farhad and Elliham still silently followed Isabel forward, it had been more than ten minutes since the violent explosion began, no matter what happened to Song Xiaoshuang, he had to be found as soon as possible.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

"Who? Who's over there! ”

In the depths of the dark mine, there was a sudden coughing sound of some drifters, although the sound was very low in the mine, it still formed an obvious echo, Isabel's body trembled and almost fell, but the courage on her body magically grew, a tear from the corner of her eyes slipped quietly, and she pulled off the breathing mask violently, and shouted in Chinese in a trembling voice.

She intuitively felt that the person in the depths of the mine was Song Xiaoshuang, but it was difficult to identify him with a hoarse cough, so she asked this question.

As soon as she finished speaking, Isabel secretly scolded herself for being confused, although her cough was hoarse, but after careful analysis, it was obviously not the crazy Bernie, and Bernie was excluded, and naturally only Song Xiaoshuang, a strange wizard, survived such a violent explosion!

The oxygen content in this section of the mine is already very low, Isabel took a few steps and took a breath of oxygen from the breathing mask, then shouted Song Xiaoshuang's name in a low voice and walked forward, and took another breath of oxygen, Farhad and Eliham also thought it was Song Xiaoshuang, but the three of them walked forward for nearly a hundred meters, but they only heard an obvious cough, and did not see where Song Xiaoshuang was.

The stone walls around this section of the mine have been burned at high temperature, the gray-brown rock surface has become charred black, and the slight vibration sound of people walking through the continuous vibration echo of the mine, stirring up countless rocks that have become brittle to scatter into fly ash and fall to the ground, and the small railroad tracks laid in the middle of the mine have been seriously deformed and twisted in the explosion, and some of the rails have obvious signs of solidification after being melted at high temperatures. Isabel was a little surprised, several small minecarts loaded with ore were blown away by the blast wave from the explosion point at least hundreds of meters away, and in her memory, these minecarts were parked on the railroad tracks behind the bend of the mine a few hundred meters away!

At this time, as the three of them continue to approach, coupled with the light of the small overhead lights, you can see that the small minecart that has broken the tow hook and scattered into several sections, severely deformed and twisted scattered all over the mine, has lost the shape of the minecart at all, many metal plates are melted and formed holes of different sizes on the minecart, under the illumination of the light, there is still a slight green smoke, the temperature is obviously not low, there are three seriously deformed minecarts overlapping each other, looking at the shape, even if people hide in the overturned minecart, they will be squeezed into meatloaf.

Of course, Isabel would not believe that Song Xiaoshuang was hiding in the three minecarts that had been squeezed, looking around the left and right and his head was agitated, and he went around to the back of the minecarts that overlapped each other, and under the light of the small lights overhead, he obviously saw that the body of the minecart that was still intact was partially upside down on the ground with ore, and the coughing sound was obviously coming from the gap between the body and the ground that was upside down, needless to say that Song Xiaoshuang was hiding inside the body of the minecart that was upside down on the ground!

Farhad and Eliham had already arrived, and after signaling Isabel to put on the breathing mask, Farhad took off the breathing mask and approached the upside-down minecart and shouted in Chinese: "Song Xiaoshuang? Are you badly injured and squeaked while you're still alive! ”

"Of course alive, the first aid kit is useless, it's just that some serious internal bleeding feels a little weak, try to pry the minecart up and get me out, cough Farhad, go back to the oasis to make Emimai make delicious pancakes and roast leg of lamb, although her pancakes are worse than Uncle Issam, cough cough but it's still very good"

"Song Xiaoshuang, you are a foodie!"

Before Farhad's words fell, Song Xiaoshuang, who was hiding in the minecart, said a lot of words in a hoarse tone, and kept coughing during the period, Isabel was really unbearable Song Xiaoshuang almost hung up and mentioned eating as soon as she opened her mouth, she ripped off her breathing mask and yelled at the minecart, but her tears couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes, and she secretly thought that Song Xiaoshuang was really incorrigible.

Farhad didn't care about Isabel venting his complicated feelings on the side, and tried to touch the metal on the surface of the minecart with his palm, and found that it was not hot and still cold, and he couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, and then thought that this was an inevitability in chance, if this minecart was as hot as several other minecarts to the point that the metal was melted, Song Xiaoshuang would have been baked into charcoal a long time ago!

Thinking of this, Farhad decided to get Song Xiaoshuang out of the minecart immediately.

Song Xiaoshuang said that the method of prying up the minecart did not think it was the best policy, finding something to pry up the minecart would delay a lot of time, Fahad thought that although the minecart used in the mine was very heavy, the three of them could directly lift up part of the minecart body with their efforts, and whispered to ask Song Xiaoshuang if he could barely move his body, and he planned to directly use the method of lifting the corner of the minecart.

After receiving Song Xiaoshuang's affirmative answer, Farhad also checked the self-locking device of the minecart body (a necessary mechanism for dumping ore in a small minecart in the mine, which is used to flip the body of the minecart to the side of the ore stack on the small railroad track to dump the ore), and found that there was no problem, so he started to do it.

The three of them pressed the middle part of the angle between the metal plate on the side of the body of the minecart and a cast metal wheel, and forcibly lifted the corner of the minecart to a height of dozens of centimeters.

In the hypoxic environment, Song Xiaoshuang's face was ugly, and with the sound of coughing, black blood continued to seep out from the corners of his mouth.

After seeing that the person had come out, in a muffled sound, the three of Fahad put down the minecart, and Fahad quickly untied a set of knapsack oxygen cylinders on his chest, and made a few gestures, Elliham and Isabel understood in seconds.

At the same time, Song Xiaoshuang also rejected Isabel's idea of preparing to take off the miner's helmet for him, and shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't need this, Isabel didn't want to worry about this with him at this time, and he didn't need it.

Eliham took the knapsack oxygen cylinder and put it on his chest with the strap, and saw that Isabel and Farhad, who were wearing breathing masks, had already cooperated well and put their hands on Song Xiaoshuang's shoulders and legs respectively, and after lifting Song Xiaoshuang's body, he hurriedly put the breathing mask on Song Xiaoshuang, and in this way, he walked Song Xiaoshuang out of the mine at a steady pace
