Chapter 19 Sivar Mining Area (8)
The cable car slowly ascended, and at this time Bill and John were dressed in military uniforms and carrying tin boxes.
It was pitch black inside the cable car, and all the Dave lights were extinguished by Bill, as if everything had melted into the darkness, and only a trance dot on the head announced which side was the light.
The process of escaping the darkness was long and painful.
John couldn't see anything, all kinds of strange sounds tormented his tense nerves, he clung to the money bag, his whole body stiffened, and even the trembling disappeared.
When his vision was deprived and his other senses were infinitely magnified, he could clearly hear what was around him, the sound of gnawing, the occasional wail from his feet, and the singing from nowhere.
He was completely incapacitated, and his eyes were closed, for fear that if he moved an inch, he would fall back into the abyss.
"Mr. Bill, please, light David's lamp, I'm afraid of the dark. ”
"Mr. Missionary is right, wizards are evil!"
"You're the devil, the devil!!"
"Mr. Bill, how are we going to get out of here, do you really only have those bags of money left?"
"Mr. Bill, can you hear me, there are bugs crawling up, they must be burrowing into my body, they are going to eat me!!"
"Mr. Bill, I'll exchange you for a bag of gold pounds, please, light David's lamp, please, ......"
Ignoring John, he extinguished the David's lamp in order to deal with the soldiers on the ground controlling the cable car for a while, and the matter was not over, and there were still a few last steps to escape from the Sivar mines.
Place the loot on the ground, a sniper rifle, two large-caliber shotguns, two revolvers, and a number of ammunition of different sizes.
There are also tin boxes with coal cores.
Carefully filling these weapons and ammunition, the sound of metal colliding is rational and cold, without a trace of emotion.
Sympathy, kindness, hesitation, cowardice and even human nature, these emotions have all become shackles at this moment, and only the desire for life can overwhelm everything and make people break free from bondage.
This is madness in reason, this is instinct.
When the ammo is filled, the shadow burrows out of the black ground, covers the weapon ammunition, and begins to erode, and the two revolvers are spared, they are easy to carry and do not need to be stored in the shadow space for the time being.
Leave the revolver and shotgun behind for now, and send the remaining weapons and ammunition into the shadow space for storage, as well as the eroded tin case.
He needs to settle the battle quickly, and this mine is remote, and no miners usually know about it, so it will not cause a commotion.
The cable car got closer and closer to the wellhead, the moon was covered by dark clouds, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and a strong wind blew through the sea, blowing up countless sand and gravel.
A soldier covered his hat and squinted his eyes and looked strangely into the mine, where the cable car was still equipped with a Davy lamp when it went down, but now there was no light on the cable car.
"Lieutenant Bam and they seem to have come up later than usual today, and why are the lights out?"
"Don't make a fuss, this mine is very strange, it often blows the wind, and Miss Jenny said that Dr. Brigg will be here tomorrow, and maybe they are waiting to get ready for it. ”
"Why do you always send people here recently, is there any progress in the research on the utilization of coal cores?"
"Maybe that's the case, I once heard Lieutenant Bam talking to Miss Jenny about it. ”
"They say that the new weapon has entered the testing stage, but it is still making final adjustments, and after the adjustments, the new weapon will be mass-produced. ”
"That's good news, when our new weapons come out, let's see if our neighbors dare to be so arrogant!"
"Shhhhh ”
Another gust of wind blew, and the two soldiers stood side by side, saluting Lieutenant Bam and Miss Jenny.
And death is like a dark phantom, never having time to react, only to hear a snap, fog and bullets, instantly beating the soldiers into a sieve.
The shotgun with great close-range lethality easily took life, and the soldier fell straight down with wide eyes before he could say a word.
"Fatty, keep up!"
Bill quickly exited the cable car, dragged John's stiff clothes off, and threw the soldier's body into the mine without hesitation.
Then they went to the mine where the miners used to mine the mines, and Bill licked his lips and began to prepare the plan that he had presented countless times in his mind.
Remove the Davy lampshade, pour out part of the kerosene, and use a long wire tied to the bell to hang the Davy lamp above the mine, tie the other end to the ground, and immerse it in kerosene.
He'd never done anything like that, and he didn't know how likely this plan would be, but he had to get out of it this way, and there was a chance that everyone in the mine would think he was dead in the deep mine and wouldn't be wanted.
After taking out some bullets and pouring out the gunpowder, which was mixed with cinders and lamp oil, Bill still fears death.
He made a ignition line long enough to ensure that the explosion would not affect him.
"Run in the direction of the miners' quarters and don't look back. ”
His chest rose and fell with tension, his breathing was heavy, he lit the fuse and tried to adjust the rhythm of his breathing, and the fat man had already spread his legs and ran wildly.
"Zizi Zi ......"
The flames burned quickly, and everything went well, and Bill immediately ran in the direction of the miners' quarters.
The miners were still asleep, praying in their sleep that tomorrow there would be wind, rain and thunder, preferably a tsunami, so that he could stop work and rest.
......
"Boom ——!!"
The roar suddenly sounded, and the mine instantly erupted into flames, and the underground connected mine also burst into flames, with flames exceeding ten meters, illuminating the continuous mines into daylight.
The wind burns and the earth shakes!
Countless flaming fireballs erupted from the mine shaft and smashed in all directions, detonating all the mines!
Thousands of meters away, you can feel the hot waves in the living area, accompanied by loud noises, billowing smoke rising into the air like an overwhelming sandstorm.
The alarm sounded, and the miners scrambled out of the dormitory.
The frightened crowd shot out like fragments of an explosion, improvised buildings crumbled and groaned, rubble and tiles rained down, and the miners' quarters collapsed.
Fireballs flew in from the direction of the explosion, igniting the coal pile, causing further chaos in the mine, and the soldiers rushed to assemble, but could not find the person in charge.
"How could the mine suddenly explode, Lieutenant Bam and Miss Jenny?"
"Report to the captain, I haven't found it!"
"Keep looking! Everybody go looking for the lieutenant!"
The soldiers panicked, the explosion occurred suddenly, they could not find Lieutenant Bam and Miss Jenny, at the moment only a few captains organized order.
Kistanc, thousands of kilometers away, heard loud noises and strong winds, and people ran into the streets, terrified, thinking that there had been a tsunami.
When they saw the light of the fire coming from the direction of the mine, they were so shocked that they froze in place.
Companies close to the mining area issued notices and held emergency meetings, and newspaper editors rushed typesetting and printing to spread the news that shocked the world.
"Sheriff Shavoy, there's an explosion in the mine, are we going to ......?"
Erwin hurried into the sheriff's office, and he had just gotten the news from his home, but Sheriff Xavier wasn't there.
A whistle sounded outside the window, and a platoon of steam wagons carrying first aid supplies and rescue teams had set off from the backyard of the police station, and Sheriff Savoy sat in the lead car with a serious expression.
On the luxury cruise ship, Illya was woken up by the noise, she rubbed her eyes, put on her coat, and walked out of the cabin, the deck was already full of tourists.
"What's going on?"
"For your own look, there is a fire in the western direction of the Jikron. ”
Illya took the binoculars and was a little surprised to see the raging fires and billowing black smoke.
"We didn't leave the port until midnight, and it's so unpredictable that this happened in the Sivar mines. ”
"Yes, the world is impermanent......"
Returning the binoculars to enthusiastic tourists, Illya no longer joins in the fun with tourists, her own troubles are not yet known when they will be resolved, and she is not in the mood to pay attention to anything else.
In a ship repair yard in the port of Jikransi, Johnny also looked in the direction of the mine, thoughtful.
"It's time to prepare the tickets and payouts. ”
After the continuous explosions, black smoke enveloped the mining area, and the soldiers began to organize the miners to fight the fire, and the serious excavation of the coal mine continued to collapse, and huge craters appeared.
When the miners gathered, no one remembered the emergency measures in the safety training after a mining accident, and they did not care about the country's losses, but were glad that they were still alive at the moment.
"It's good that it exploded at night, otherwise we would have been buried in the mine at this moment......"
In the confusion, Bill and John arrive at the parking lot, which is empty.
"Bill, Bill, I can't run. ”
John gasped and lay motionless on the ground.
"Hurry up, fatty, the nightmare is over soon!"
Torrential rains have fallen, dark clouds have been brought by fires in the mining area, and steam trucks are covered with ponchos in the parking lot, and neatly parked trucks are swayed by the earthquake.
Bill ripped off his poncho and boarded the steam wagon.
The rain was getting heavier, and the steam car was switched on and on, and the method of activation was different from what Bill was familiar with, and he pulled the hand brake, and the front of the car began to smoke.
"Damn, how the hell is this thing activated!"
"First, first pull the first three valves, pull the handbrake, and wait for the internal combustion engine pressure gauge to show that the pressure is stable, and then press the accelerator ......"
John got up from the ground, looked around vigilantly, and after making sure it was safe, hurriedly boarded the van, not forgetting to carry his money bag.
Bill looked at the fat man with a stunned expression.
"Kind and generous Mr. Bill, please don't, don't look at me like that, for Mr. Smorgan had hired a steam car to transport goods, and I was the chauffeur at the time. ”
"You come and drive, get out of the mine!"
As the rain gets heavier, Bill quickly switches places with John, who is timid and familiar with driving a steam car and quickly gets started.
Steam trucks rushed out of the parking lot in the rain.
Bill wasn't idle, he dragged the tin box out of the shadowed space, piled it onto the van and covered it with a poncho.
"Don't talk when you see the soldiers guarding the door for a while, I'll deal with it. ”
The soldiers who occasionally saw the wagons passing by were puzzled, but they didn't have time to care, Bill and John were wearing military uniforms, and the trucks with tin boxes only moved at night, and the soldiers should not be concerned about superfluous matters.
When they came to the main gate of the mine, the guards did not dare to leave their posts without permission, but they were also very anxious and concerned about the explosion in the mining area.
The rain was pouring down, and the soldiers asked Bill with lanterns, the fire was faint, they were wearing ponchos, the rain hit their faces, and the visibility was very low.
"What's going on inside?"
"It's not good, the mine suddenly exploded, and all the mines exploded, and a lot of people were injured. ”
"Damn, how could the mine suddenly explode!"
"What the hell are in these tin boxes, and they have to be shipped out if something like this happens?"
The soldiers guarding the gate shouted twice, and it seemed that not all soldiers knew about the coal core.
"Friend, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, Lieutenant Bam said, even if the sky falls, this thing must be sent out on time!"
John gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and didn't even dare to exhale, only Bill looked serious and communicated with the soldiers guarding the door.
"I know I know, I'm just complaining, do you need help inside?"
"No, it's useless for you to go over, friend, it's too late, if you continue to chat, I'll be dealt with by military law......"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'll open the door. ”
The gate finally opened, and John stepped on the gas pedal in an instant and rushed out of the Sivar mine.
