Chapter 198 Mine Collapse

Ao Chengyi said coldly, "The pangolin search mission issued by City U is just a cover to trick everyone into going up the mountain and becoming feed for their maggot ponds. This isn't the first time; it happens about once a month. As for the maggots, they're used to feed the mining area. The maggot ponds were accidentally destroyed a month ago. I believe you all saw the fire. City U and City P jointly blocked the mining area and released a large number of rotting corpses and mutated beasts to prepare feed for the newly built maggot ponds. We got this information by accident, so believe it or not. Now we're going to blow up the city wall and get out. If you don't want to be silenced, pick up your weapons and charge together later."

The people collapsed on the ground, stunned. After a month of desperate struggle, they knew that this must have been done by U City, but they didn't know why. Now, hearing it, it felt like a dream. Were they being used as feed?

Ao Chengyi didn't give this group of people a chance to digest the situation, and asked Ding Jiajia to prepare the explosives and medicine packs.

"blue"

A disheveled man emerged from the crowd. The girls, realizing he was a familiar figure, didn't wait for him to finish his words before they began beating him up. The six girls, completely disregarding their image, beat him like shrews. The boys glanced at each other and joined in.

Dong Dali said angrily, "You"

"Bang bang bang." The chance to catch my breath was finally obtained, but because of one word, I got beaten up.

When the girls were about to kick each other to call it a day, Qiao Dong couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I"

The girls laughed. There was another one here, and they beat him up again. Qiao Dong could only utter one word and lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The men and other survivors were all stunned. What had happened all of a sudden? What had happened that they didn't know about?

The girls were very happy. They had been feeling aggrieved and finally got their revenge. To deal with such people, they couldn't let them talk. They had to beat them up directly and beat them so hard that they couldn't say a word.

Ao Chengyi and Lu Chaoyang, who had already seen it once, were much calmer, although they still didn't know why.

"Well, Jiajia, let's start."

Ding Jiajia came back to her senses and took the explosives Ao Chengyi had handed out. After fiddling with the explosives, the survivor hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is what everyone is saying true? Are U City and P City really collaborating to use living people to feed maggots to the mines?"

Ao Chengyi glanced at him calmly, "You can decide for yourselves whether it's true or not. If you want to survive, you can decide for yourself what to do next."

Ao Chengyi's aura was too strong, and the survivors didn't dare to ask any more questions. Adhering to the principle that every wrong should be dealt with by its perpetrator, they couldn't just ignore everything. So, they asked, "Which team are you from, and which security base are you affiliated with?"

This question was exactly what the team wanted. "Dragon and Phoenix Team, affiliated with Shicheng."

So frank? The survivor's mind wavered. Is this the Stone City? Where is it? I've never heard of it. Is this a lie?

Before they could figure it out, Ding Jiajia had already finished it. "Get out of the way! If you get blown to pieces, don't blame me for not warning you."

The small mass of unidentified objects did not seem to have any killing power, so everyone stepped back obediently, and the scene was silent for a few moments.

The people outside the wall pressed against it to listen, but there was no sound at all. They felt strange and asked, "Are they all dead?"

A small leader sneered, "They should have been dead long ago. Wait two more days. The weather is so hot, two days is enough time for the bodies to rot. Then we can just dig a pit and throw them in. Those rotten corpses and mutated beasts can't escape the maggots. Once they get on, they're like a dog-skin plaster, impossible to get rid of, and will be eaten clean in minutes."

"Will it be dangerous when we deal with it?" This is the first time I'm doing this, and I'm still a little nervous.

The little boss glanced at him coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? If something really happens, I've died a thousand times. By then, I'll put on the protective suit and nothing will happen. Just don't seek death yourself."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you."

The fantasy outside the wall was very beautiful, but before I woke up from the dream, there was a loud explosion, and the high wall was blown into pieces. Those who were close to it were turned into rubble. The survivors were still frightened, but fortunately they did not resist and stood far away obediently.

Ding Jiajia quickly threw two unidentified objects out of the wall. After two "bang" sounds, more than half of the people who were stunned were killed or injured.

The big team took the brunt of the attack and mobilized their special abilities to rush out.

They didn't want to fight along the way. After rushing out of the crowd, they took out their car and left at full speed. The survivors didn't know why the large group ran so fast, so they subconsciously followed behind, leaving behind the people who were stunned by the explosion outside the wall.

Just as I ran out of the foot of the mountain, there was another explosion, "Boom!"

The shockwaves swept across an area of hundreds of miles. The survivors were all knocked to the ground due to the shaking. They subconsciously looked back and were horrified to see that the entire mining area, including hundreds of mines, slowly disappeared in a cloud of dust. The entire area became a bottomless abyss.

The people and mutant corpses on the mountain were all turned into dust and disappeared in the explosion.

Dong Dali touched his neck, thinking back to what he had said to Lan Shiruo and the others over and over again, and felt that he was lucky and had a long life, as they didn't take his life.

Qiao Dong frowned fiercely. What he had done before must be a joke in the eyes of Lan Shiruo and her group, right?

"Dragon and Phoenix Team? Stone City?"

The large group was hurrying along the road. Zhang Yun asked, "Will U City and P City go to Shicheng to cause trouble?"

Lu Chaoyang said, "They don't have time to cause trouble for us. Nearly a hundred people have survived. In less than a day, the disgusting things done by the two cities will be known to the world. Don't look at the fact that there is no morality in the world now. There are laws and regulations, and there is no bottom line for people to do things. But this matter has violated the interests of many people. They will make the two cities pay the price. No one can underestimate the ant trying to shake the elephant. In addition, if the mine disappears, other people who have their eyes on the mine will also blame the two cities, and will find ways to take the finished coal from them. Of course, our destruction of the mine has also harmed the interests of some people. When they are free, they will also cause trouble for us. However, there will be no problem in the short term. Over time, it is hard to say who will cause trouble for whom." When Lu Fox said this, there was always a sense of cunning in his words. The little friend pouted and sat farther away silently.

Lu Chaoyang rolled his eyes, what a bunch of pretentious bastards.

The team is very happy that they have accomplished a great thing. They stopped and walked along the way, just like traveling and enjoying the mountains and rivers. It’s just a pity that there are mountains but no water now.

Acid rain destroyed all vegetation and water sources. Just as they were about to recover, the continued high temperatures destroyed any remaining vegetation and water sources, leaving them with no chance of recovery. Burnt wood, exposed to the sun, quickly dried out and became sawdust, a breeding ground for pests. The remaining usefulness of the sawdust was consumed, and it vanished completely from the world.

So now there is only bare yellow soil in the fields between the mountains, without any trace of the previous black and burnt soil, nor any trace of new green.

The land is severely desertified, with fields drying up and cracking. If this continues for another six months, there's no chance of recovery, and most of the planet will be covered in yellow sand. If this continues, all life on the planet might go to war for the few remaining oases. However, if the high temperatures don't persist, there's no need to worry about global drought, but the damaged land will never recover.

How VS so
