Chapter 342: Diamond Mine

This is a very tiring job, no matter how strong a person is, as long as he wields a machete for an hour, he will definitely be tired, but fortunately, there are many team members, and they can take turns.

The joint team searched for three months, they had been walking in the wilderness, there was no human population in sight, and more than half of the supplies had been consumed, but except for two barren iron ore mines with no mining value, they found nothing, and all the team members were a little bored in their hearts.

At the end of another day's march, many of the team members cut down trees and artemisia grass to clear an open space large enough for camping. "Brother Rui, we can't go like this." Zhang Qiang came over again.

Qiu Rui said: "Stop, it's not good for you to call me Brother Rui every time." ”

Zhang Qiang said angrily: "When are you still joking, I want to say that more than half of the dry food has been eaten, and we should turn back." ”

Juri was a little reluctant to give up, he took the map and looked at it carefully, holding the map that had been turned over a little shabby, and there were many new lines drawn by Juri on it.

These lines were recorded by his own hand, and the new path of the pioneer group was drawn to draw maps of these undeveloped areas, which could be sold to the local offices of the Chung Hwa Foundation at the supply point, and the purchase price of these maps was very high, and this business was also the main source of income for many pioneer groups that did not have a harvest.

Looking at this map, Jury thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Qiang: "I'm really unwilling to go back empty-handed, I think let's continue south, to the coastal city of Sydney, where we can get sufficient supplies, and we can also use the telephone line there to contact the thirteenth town, our partner." ”

Zhang Qiang worried: "The team members have been walking for three months, and the physical exertion is very large, and it is very difficult to explore forward, after all, it is easier to walk the road they have walked before." ”

Jury pointed to a dark shadow in the distance and said, "There is a big mountain over there, let's set up a camp near the mountain, rest for a week and then leave." Anyway, the road to Sydney is closer, and our supplies are enough. ”

Looking at the mountain, Jury added, "We can also search there, after all, there are more minerals in the mountains." ”

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and it took the pioneer group four days to reach this mountain. Under a mountain wall near the stream and facing the sun and wind, the pioneers built a fence, erected tents, and built a temporary campsite.

After a few months of busy team members, they finally had time to rest, a group of young men washed their clothes by the stream, some stripped naked and went to the river to bathe, everyone shaved their faces and washed their hair to take care of their personal hygiene, and soon they were all energetic and changed into clean clothes all over their bodies.

At night, there was a bonfire, and several team members roasted fish caught from the creek, and everyone talked and laughed.

Also taking a bath, the whole body is much more refreshed Qiu Rui looked at the team members, and sighed a little in his heart, these team members are their own comrades-in-arms, and they have the responsibility to bring them enough rich harvest, thinking of this, Qiu Rui looked up at the mountain, and couldn't help but have these expectations in his heart.

The next morning, Jury got up alone, he planned to go up the mountain to have a look, and the team members who began to rest had a lazy sleep, which was very good for relaxing the spirits of the team members.

Zhang Qiang, who got up early, wanted to follow him to have a look, and the two of them had a good relationship, but Qiu Rui refused, and there must be someone in charge of the camp, and there must be a captain to keep to lead everyone.

Carrying his beloved Lanting rifle, Qiu Ruixin walked into the mountains and forests. After working in the pioneer group for a long time, Qiu Rui has become a master of prospecting, and no ore can hide from his eyes.

Walking in the mountains and forests, Jury picked up a stone from time to time and knocked it with the back of a short knife. As he walked farther and farther, Jorui gradually went deeper into the mountains and forests. After walking a long way, Jory felt a little hungry, and he remembered that he didn't seem to have eaten breakfast.

Touching his hungry stomach, Jory changed the rifle to his left hand, put his right hand into his arms and took out a steamed bun, and ate it. As Jory ate and walked, a sudden spirit hit his body, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Years of experience as a soldier have given Jory another unusual intuition that occurs every time he encounters danger, and this almost sixth-sense intuition has saved his life many times.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiu Rui threw away the steamed bun in his hand, picked up the rifle with both hands and turned around quickly, and he saw a pair of green eyes.

It was a pair of large, green eyes staring straight at him, and the owner of these eyes had bent down and prepared to pounce.

"What a big tiger." Seeing this beast, Qiu Rui was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the tiger was only ten meters away from him at this time.

Seeing the muscles on the tiger's legs tighten, Jury subconsciously flashed behind the tree, and his reaction speed helped him dodge the deadly pounce. Then Qiu Rui turned his head and ran, relying on the complex terrain in the mountains and forests to interfere with the other party's pursuit.

After all, the tiger is the king of the mountains and forests, and even if the terrain is complicated, the tiger that swoops in the air still follows closely. Jory, who had been running wildly, suddenly stopped, because his path was blocked by a ten-meter-high cliff.

Seeing that there was no way back, Qiu Rui gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Damn, since you can't run, Lao Tzu will fight with you." After saying that, he raised his gun in the chest, and aimed it at the tiger was a shot.

Although Qiu Rui was experienced in a hundred battles, it was the first time he had encountered such a huge beast at such a close distance, and his heart was also very panicked, and the hand holding the gun trembled, and the bullet was knocked away.

The sound of the gunfire startled the tiger, slowing him down, but then he walked towards Jury again. Jury fired another shot again, and two shots in a row were empty, and the tiger was already very close to Jury.

Jory gritted his teeth and told himself to be calm, and he plunged his dagger into the trunk of the tree and put the rifle on it. Overcoming the muzzle shake in this way, Jury took a deep breath and aimed at the tiger.

The tiger, which was already close, suddenly rose into the air and pounced on Jory. Seeing the tiger pounce, Qiu Rui's eyes were firm, and his heart suddenly calmed down at that moment. Just as the tiger jumped and the empty door opened, Jury fired accurately, and the third bullet finally entered the tiger's chest.

The tiger that was hit lost its strength, but with its inertia, it still pounced on Jury, who had no time to dodge. Suddenly encountering a strong force, Qiu Rui couldn't hold his feet, and rolled off the cliff with the tiger.

Until nightfall, Qiu Rui did not come back, and Zhang Qiang, who was very anxious, immediately divided the members of the pioneer group into ten groups and went up the mountain to find someone. There were many tracking experts in the pioneer group, and they soon found the dried steamed buns and tiger footprints that Qiu Rui had thrown away.

Following the footprints, a group of people led by Zhang Qiang lit torches and found the edge of the cliff. "Look, that's the boss's short knife." One of the team members who saw the short knife still stuck in the tree, saw the short knife team members immediately scattered to look for it, and soon one of the team members found the rifle that had fallen on the edge of the road.

"It's the boss's rifle, and he's never got his gun in his hand." This team member is obviously from Jury's pioneer group.

"Could it be that Lao Qiu has fallen?" Zhang Qiang looked at the bottom of the cliff of the black hole and gritted his teeth: "Even if Lao Qiu is dead, we have to find his body back, go, follow me down the cliff." ”

With the search team, Zhang Qiang and the others quickly found the path to the bottom of the cliff. Searching all the way forward, one of the team members saw a large blurred shadow in the distance.

"Look what it is." Zhang Qiang and others stepped forward quickly with torches, and under the backdrop of the torches, several people carefully observed and found that it was the unconscious Qiu Rui, and there was a giant tiger under him that had long been out of breath.

After a careful inspection, he found that Qiu Rui was not injured, and there were no broken bones, so Zhang Qiang was relieved. It seems that when he fell, he was blocked by a tree trunk sticking out of the middle of the cliff, and the tiger under him was a buffer, so that he did not have the slightest scar.

Zhang Qiang woke up Qiu Rui and asked, "Old Qiu, you have nothing to do." ”

Qiu Rui, who woke up, looked around, then looked at the tiger below him and muttered to Zhang Qiang, "Thank God I'm not dead yet." ”

"yes, you're not dead, what's wrong with you, what's going on with this tiger." Zhang Qiang asked with concern.

Anyway, his hands and feet were a little numb, and Qiu Rui talked about his awakening process while moving his blood, and the team members were amazed.

"Hey, Lao Qiu, it's really yours, just this tiger skin is worth our cost this time." Zhang Qiang was happy and asked the most skilled team member in the pioneer group to peel the tiger skin.

This peeling is a delicate job, and if you don't master the strength well, the tip of the knife pierces the tiger skin, and the price will drop significantly. The peeling went very smoothly, and a dry mouth asked the team for some water to drink.

Jory, who was drinking water, looked around, and suddenly his eyes caught a flash of light, it was the fire reflected by the stone against the background of the torch, Juri instinctively felt that the stone was not simple.

Joe walked over, took the stone, and approached the torch to look closely. Suddenly, Jory's eyes widened, and since he looked at the stone, he exclaimed, "Good boy, this is not a diamond, such a big one." ”

Jory's exclamation drew the attention of the team members, and when they heard that they might have found a diamond mine, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly. At this time, it was already late at night, and the prospecting was not in a hurry, and the team members carried the tiger's corpse down the mountain first.

At night, tiger meat was roasted by the campfire, and the team members laughed loudly, everyone was immersed in the dream of making a fortune, and even Jory sat there, looking at the rough diamond in his hand and smirking.

The most important mineral of the current China Consortium is diamond, in addition to this is Fang Xiaoyu's special instructions, the processed diamond is also an expensive luxury jewelry, in addition to the industrial use of diamond is also quite common.
