Chapter 68: After the Explosion
The whole mine was shaking, Isabel, Farhad, and Elham fell one after another in the run, accompanied by a scorching hot wind and a thunderclap-like sound, a red and black fire cloud surged out from the depths of the mine, and it came out from the corner of the mine hundreds of meters away, like a special bomb with gasoline exploded, and the red and black hot fire cloud rolled and continued to move forward, with an unstoppable momentum!
The three of Farhad were all experienced people, lying on the ground of the mine and turning their heads to look back, enduring the small falling rocks that kept falling overhead, with a complicated expression in their eyes, they couldn't understand what kind of explosion Song Xiaoshuang had made, it was so terrifying!
The section of the mine that ran out was a straight road, and it was impossible to outrun the swept fire cloud, and the only thought of the three of them at this time was that the scorching fire cloud generated after the explosion had reached its peak, and it would not spread over and burn the three of them into black charcoal.
On one side of this centuries-old gold mine, there are signs from previous mining on one side of the cave, such as French and Arabic on a rock wall, stating that 1,200 meters from the X mining site and how many meters from another mining site are written.
When Isabel had just encountered Farhad and the Major confronting each other with weapons, she used the cover of the tribal warriors to make a covert gesture and tell Farhad and Elliham that Song Xiaoshuang and Fatuna were at least more than a kilometer deep into the mine.
Isabel asked Farhad and Eliham to lead the tribal warriors to end the armed confrontation with the Major, Farhad simply thought that Isabel was deliberately covering Song Xiaoshuang to sabotage in the mine, (a plan conspired by several people before setting off from the oasis, if there is really a raw ore with energy crystals in the depths of the mine, they must find a way to destroy it), thinking that Isabel said that there was a large-scale explosion is a lie of "good intentions", and after giving Isabel a look that I understand, he continued to stalemate with the Major, Rashad and others.
It wasn't until Fatuna, who temporarily changed camps, rushed out with the tribal villagers that Fahad felt bad, Song Xiaoshuang actually came to really make a big explosion?
Although neither Farhad nor Major and others found any explosive devices in the old mine after breaking into the mine, no one had the opportunity to go deep into the thousands of meters long mine, nor did they see any living rebel armed bandits who could ask the specific situation, whether there would be a large number of explosive devices and high-energy explosives in the depths of the mine, and no one could be sure before they saw it!
When Fatuna shouted loudly with the idea of slipping away, the major no longer hesitated to lead the army out of the mine first, and then the weak tribal villagers who had blown up part of the mine, followed by dozens of heavily armed tribal warriors.
As several core figures in the Oasis tribe's conspiracy, Isabel, Farhad, and Eliham all stayed at the end, because the information obtained was obviously asymmetrical, and in the Oasis tribe war, he established a brotherly friendship with Song Xiaoshuang, worried that Song Xiaoshuang would have an accident, and stayed at the end to see when Song Xiaoshuang would come out.
The three of them hadn't run far before the mine was shaking violently, people were unstable and fell one after another, and rocks continued to roll down on the top of the mine, obviously a large-scale explosion occurred in the depths of the mine at a depth of one thousand meters, and the blast wave spread rapidly, making the people in the mine feel like an earthquake.
Feeling the hot wind and the sound of thunderbolts sweeping in, the three of Farhad didn't plan to run, they lay on the ground and looked back at the tumbling red and black fire clouds gushing out from the corner of the mine, the red and black fire clouds illuminated the mine, and the small lighting lamps with explosion-proof covers on the stone walls where the fire clouds passed were instantly extinguished (the power supply lines temporarily laid by the rebel forces were not strong at all, and it was appropriate to be destroyed), the three of Farhad lay on the ground and looked a little stiff, and saw the rolling red and black fire clouds continue to sweep forward for more than a hundred meters before they stopped expanding and went out instantly. The accompanying countless black ash dust spread, and he quickly lowered his head and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves
"Ahem"
"Let's go, the oxygen here is running out, are Farhad and Eliham okay?"
More than ten seconds later, Isabel coughed violently twice, raised her head and felt a cloudiness in front of her, because the dust had not yet settled on the ground, and her vision was very poor, and she could only barely see the light from the small lights, Isabel obviously felt that her mind was a little chaotic, and her thoughts were a little delayed, and she suddenly remembered the fact that the exploding fire cloud would consume a lot of oxygen, Isabel ignored the dust, her voice was hoarse and spoke in Arabic, reminding Farhad and Ellie that it was time to withdraw from the mine.
Isabel's voice was quickly echoed by both Farhad and Elliham, who were all right, and the three of them quickly withdrew from the mine.
It's not that Song Xiaoshuang is not in a hurry, but if there is no oxygen to enter the depths of the mine, he has to finish playing, and he plans to find out if there is any professional equipment such as knapsack oxygen cylinders in the materials left by the rebel forces in the cave hall at the entrance of the mine, that is, on those four-wheeled off-road military vehicles, if not, you have to find a major Huayuan, and the border checkpoint is very high-level Such equipment should be available.
At the entrance of a branch of a branch cave in the corner of the cave hall of several thousand square meters of the gold mine, soldiers covered in gray-brown dust and embarrassed with light and heavy weapons were the first to run out of the mine with small rails, and then the tribal villagers who were also covered in dust and the tribal warriors with weapons in their hands, the strange one was the chief of the intelligence bureau, the major with bandages on his thighs and hands, Captain Farid and several agents of the intelligence bureau, all mixed with the tribal soldiers of various tribes and ran out of the mine.
The cave hall was full of people, soldiers, tribal villagers, and tribal warriors with guns had mixed together, and after the horror had calmed down, some people kept coughing violently, and people kept running to the stone tank on the side of the stone wall to wash their eyes, and many people even lay on the ground next to the water tank for camels to drink and poured water on their faces and mouths.
Already frightened by the bloody cruelty of the human race, the camels neighed and wanted to retreat, but they couldn't, not only were the reins tied to the stakes, but the back of the camels was also a hard stone wall that could not be retreated, and the camels' big eyes flashed with horror.
Looking around the cave hall, the noisy voices came and went, and at this time, the tense confrontation between the army and the tribal warriors had long since become invisible.
Rassad, with a beard full of water stains, hurried away from the sink, and with a pair of cold eyes, he looked at Captain Farid, who was busy counting the number of soldiers covered in dust, and snorted coldly.
Looking at the major who was sitting on the dusty pedal at the door of the four-wheeled military vehicle, Rashhad walked up to the major and said in Arabic in a very unceremonious tone: "Major Bashar, what secrets are hidden in the mine?" That Asian agent actually detonated a powerful explosive device, equivalent to a powerful cloud burst bomb, and the gold mine was about to collapse, who is he, don't go around in circles for me, what is the temporary worker bodyguard of the United Nations field expedition, I don't believe it at all, whether Isabel is a staff member of a United Nations agency is still under investigation, that stinky girl Fatuna must have taken the opportunity to slip away if she didn't see it, you better tell me what you know, otherwise"
The Major didn't answer the aggressive Rashad at first, took the military flat kettle handed over by Captain Farid, unscrewed the lid and poured water on his face, rubbed it repeatedly with his palm and washed it for a while, and then threw the kettle back to Captain Farid, regardless of the fact that the desert yellow training uniform on his body looked dirty because of the water droplets and dust.
The major looked around the hollow hall and saw dozens of tribal men and women in tattered robes, who were pulling boxes of canned military luncheon meat from three backpacks placed in the place, as if they were planning to eat these cans, and the major's grim face had some inexplicable smiles.
The major shook his dusty head slightly, lifted the strap of the AK74 assault rifle on his shoulder, and then looked at Rashad with a tactical pistol holster hanging on his waist for a while, and said in a joking tone: "Although the intelligence bureau is not omnipotent, but Rashad's professional level is too inferior, and it can't compare to the dedication of the No. 4 agent who hung up, and on the sleeves of the field expedition uniform worn by Isabelle, there is clearly an English abbreviation for the special letter mark of the United Nations field surgery team, could it be that you can't even understand this?" ”
"You! Damn, Major, I'm going to submit a report, report what you've done, you wait and see, Isabel, Farhad, Elliham and others I'm going to take them away for investigation, you can't stop me"
Rashad looked a little embarrassed and angry, and shouted very unceremoniously, this time he learned well and didn't take out the pistol in the holster on his waist, after all, the major is the actual supreme commander here, and the intelligence system can't be too wide under normal circumstances, and meddling in the affairs of the army has always been hated by the army.
"Hmph, this is the most unfunny joke I've heard, the entire Northeast Military Region has already learned about our specific military operations, Rashad, you are too lenient, tribal leaders like Farhad and Elham are the pride of our country, real national heroes, you move them to try! Not only will the army not agree, but thousands of Tuareg clan fighters will directly remove the office of the intelligence bureau, and this is the first time I have seen the head of the intelligence bureau like you! ”
The major was not afraid of Rashad's arrogant momentum at all, wiped a handful of the remaining droplets of water on his face with his broad palm, and looked at Rassad with cold eyes, and refuted Rashad with a cold and unusually solemn tone, and warned Rashad not to use his brains, Farhad, Ellie Ham, Isabel and others could not move (including Song Xiaoshuang, of course), otherwise the face of the army would not only be lost, but also make the tribes of the Tuagre tribe very angry, and it would be difficult to end at that time.
Hearing the Major say this, Rashad had a look of gloom on his face, dispelling the thoughts that had just blurted out in resentment.
The Tuareg tribe is the indigenous people of the Sahara Desert, distributed in several countries, has always been fierce and good at war, and has established a huge empire that dominates West Africa in history, pure Arabs and blacks have to bow down, the major reminded is right, it is said that Eliham is the leader of a tribe in neighboring Mali, and it will not end well if things really get bigger.
Seeing the expression on Rassad's face, the discerning major knew that Rashad had regretted what he had just said, and he didn't bother to break it, beckoned Captain Farid to come over, and whispered to Farid to take the army, tribal villagers, and tribal warriors out, and Farid then took the order.
The Major turned his head to look at the mine, which was still flying dust, and was guessing that Moforhad had not escaped, when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps running, and then the dusty Isabelle, Farhad, and Eliham rushed out of the mine, gasping for breath.
Seeing the tribal leader successfully withdraw from the exploding mine, the tribal villagers and tribal warriors boiled, speaking Tuareg and Arabic and cheering in unison, and after Eliham and Farhad waved their hands, the cheers became louder, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Farhad turned his head and saw that Isabel had turned over the back cargo box of a four-wheeled off-road military vehicle, lifted the canvas that was randomly covered with the goods, and searched for something among the various tools and equipment boxes, acting like a madman, Fahad knew that Isabel wanted to find a knapsack oxygen cylinder, a special equipment equipped with a breathing mask, with which he could go deep into the depths of the mine that was in fact deprived of oxygen to find Song Xiaoshuang.
Farhad and Eliham looked at each other, and the two of them also climbed into the cargo boxes of the two military vehicles and lifted the canvas on the goods, trying to find the much-needed special equipment for knapsack oxygen cylinders.
Rashad and the major didn't understand what the three of Fahad were nervous about at first, it was visible to the naked eye that all kinds of goods under the canvas were all industrial and mining equipment used for mining, there were a lot of various wooden boxes and metal boxes, and they didn't see a single ammunition box, and then they heard Isabel roar like crazy, and took out a set of knapsack oxygen cylinder equipment from a light alloy box, Rashad and the major realized that they were looking for this thing, and the three of them wanted to go deep into the mine again to bring out Song Xiaoshuang, who didn't know life and death!
Rashad rolled his eyes and glanced at a few agents not far away, who walked quickly to the military vehicle with a gun
Behind a tall sand dune in the desert one kilometer northeast of the desert canyon, panting and his chest rose and fell violently, Fatuna, dressed in a blue and black tights, suddenly appeared on the sand, and saw that the secret mark made by herself next to the bush dozens of meters away had not changed, and she walked quickly to the bush with an automatic grenade launcher in both hands.
After walking a few meters, Fatuna's face changed, and two figures flashed next to the bushes, this is a white European man wearing a desert yellow training uniform, Fatuna quickly said Arabic: "Why don't you go back to Pike Lab, why do you stay here?" ”
