Chapter 256: Chaotic Wasteland 3 (I)
"I dug it! I swear! I dug it! While Alexey was talking to Pandey, the drill bit of a drill rig suddenly idled into the ground without resistance, meaning that the drill bit had drilled through the frozen ground and there was a cavity underneath.
The drill bit stopped working, white steam creaked out from the gap, and when the drill bit was pulled out of the ground, a stream of hot gas gushed out of the drill hole and sprayed dozens of meters into the air.
This has never happened before, the drill bit actually drilled into the cavity, which proves that the mine exists, and the hot steam gushing out of it corresponds to the legend, the mine is as warm as summer, and the underground spring water is so hot that it can burn pigs' hair.
How could such a scene not attract the attention of the people nearby, at first only a few people, and then hundreds of people, rushing towards the steaming drill rig.
"I found it! It's mine! It's mine! The discoverer shouted hoarsely, refusing to share it with anyone, but his shouting had no effect, and the natives crowded wildly, trying to squeeze to the entrance of the cave to find out, and if this was the entrance to the diamond mines, they would desperately rush in first and take any diamonds that could be taken.
A hole with a diameter of 30 centimeters, it is impossible for people to get into it, anxious people pushed away the finders, with all the tools at hand, trying to expand the hole, the aborigines on the periphery found out about the commotion here, and also squeezed over. In the crowd, the drill rig was crushed, and the collapsed drill rig crushed several people, but no one cared about the moaning wounded, and a few minor wounded with bleeding foreheads didn't even bother to bandage, and frantically squeezed into the crowd......
"Oh, they're all crazy!" The sniper saw hundreds of people cramming together in the scope, yelling, shoving, and waving the tools in their hands to drive others away, but more people crowded over, and the strength of the individual seemed so small in the crowd, like a fallen leaf in a torrent.
Snipers don't understand what these people are doing, they're just a bunch of crazy people, crazy about doing something that no normal person can understand.
The chaos lasted for more than two hours, and the steam slowly dissipated, but still no one could really see where the entrance was leading. Madness reigns over people, and those who come later listen to all kinds of rumors coming from inside, some say they have seen diamonds, some say that they have already gotten them...... Lured by wealth, some people took the risk, took out their hidden weapons and opened fire in the air, trying to disperse the crowd and monopolize the entrance.
Alexei was also taken aback when the shots rang out, and he immediately ordered everyone to get ready for battle, however, it soon became clear that the bullets were not aimed at them, and after the shots rang out, the crowd dispersed for a while, but after a while, more gunshots rang out.
Those who were once friends, neighbors, and even family took up arms in the wasteland, intimidating and firing at each other, and in the face of wealth, all family and friendship collapsed in an instant, and all of them saw only sparkling diamonds in their blood-red eyes, and at this time, anything that dared to stop them would be ruthlessly crushed by their anger.
"Well, that's one of the most chaotic I've ever seen." Alexei watched as the situation changed dramatically, the people of the wasteland attacked each other, and then several drill rigs were set on fire, some generators were destroyed, and oil drums rolled down on the wasteland, and then they were hit by bullets that exploded into a red glow...... Alexa, who has experienced the war, feels that this is simply a wasteland version of Syria! It's just that the hostilities here are not clear, and everyone is attacking everyone else......
"This is not a good sign...... muttered one of the team members, the most feared thing for the combatants is that they are not clear about the enemy and us, and they often say that they are on both sides of the conflict, but everyone here is in conflict, and it is impossible to tell who is an ally and who is an adversary......
The situation was even more chaotic when guns were used, and the aborigines who were trying to survive in the wasteland, guns were an important tool, and people rushed back to their humble shelters, took out their guns, and shot at anything that was moving in their sight.
Although the situation was chaotic, these people were not professional military personnel, and in the darkness of the night, only by the light of the burning fire and those scattered lights, their hit rate was really pitiful, and the gun battle between the people continued until dawn, and finally slowly stopped.
Since force cannot solve the problem, then negotiation is the last way out, and at this time, the mayor who can represent everyone is gone. Under all kinds of suspicion and suspicion, people clutched the weapons in their hands and talked with the most primitive shouts in disbelief, trying to find a way to save their lives and make everyone rich.
The conversation continued intermittently, and occasionally a few protest gunshots rang out because of the conversation, but the bullets were all shot into the sky, not hurting anyone, and the finder remained silent, and after a few hours of dawn, he was finally seen lying on the cold wasteland, and there was a lot of blood on the ground, this unfortunate man failed to protect himself in the melee last night, and the death of the finder was undoubtedly good news for everyone, which meant that 20% of the wealth was redistributed.
The sun climbed feebly to the skyline, the highest height of the season, and the people in the cold wind finally calmed down - they had only penetrated a cave, but it was unknown whether it was a passage to the diamond mines.
After lengthy negotiations, to everyone's satisfaction, a few representatives were elected who would enter the cave to find out if it was the entrance to the diamond mines.
"Tchaikov, I think you should hurry up, they seem to have discovered something?" Pandey told Alexei to keep an eye on him, and he was looking for an opportunity to talk to Tchaikov.
"I'm on my way as soon as I can!" Tchaikov almost wanted to teleport to the Vulchiga River to see how much trouble the natives had caused.
"Well, what should I do if they do find something?" Pandey asked.
"Do everything to stop them," said Tchaikov through gritted teeth, "if it goes well, I'll be there in the middle of the night tonight, and until then, don't let anyone go, anyone!" ”
"As you wish!" Pandey said, hanging up the call.
As the fighters continued to monitor the situation and the natives continued to argue over who would be their fair representatives, Pandey climbed onto the Tiger mount, ripped off the holster of the machine gun, and pulled the bolt a few times, not wanting the powerful weapon to malfunction if the situation was too bad to recover.
When the aborigines basically agreed, there was only a glimmer of light left in the moor, and everyone wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, and no one wanted to wait any longer, so they reorganized and distributed the work to expand the hole that was only 30 centimeters in diameter.
"Boom, boom......, boom" suddenly exploded several huge explosions in the dark night, the aborigines who could not wait for a second were sprayed with explosives, in the face of the power of explosives, the permafrost was as fragile as glass, a large area of soil was thrown into the sky, when the explosion just stopped, the crazy aborigines rushed up like ants, regardless of the pungent gunsmoke, with all tools and even hands to pull the freshly exploded frozen soil.
"Oh my God! These people are really crazy! "It's inconceivable for any normal person to see this, these people have been working without sleep for days, but they are still physically energetic, and they have left everything behind. Cold winds, frozen ground, fatigue...... Nothing can stop them from looking for diamonds.
