Upon hearing that something had happened, Lu Yuan immediately thought that although some reinforcements had been made in the coal mine, there were still some dangerous factors. However, Lu Yuan had already instructed Wang Laosi to eliminate all these hidden dangers, otherwise he could not enter the mine to work. Could it be that the other party ignored these hidden dangers in order to rush the construction period?
"No, it's not a landslide or an explosion. A group of people from the survivor base here came and said they want to take away our coal mine. We're not legally operating here right now!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was immediately enraged.
"What? They're here to take over the land? Damn it, let's go check it out!"
After changing her clothes, Xiao Shan walked out of the room. She had already heard what Wang Lao Si was saying in front of her while she was in the inner room, and she immediately looked panicked.
"Why don't I come with you and take a look?"
Lu Yuan turned around and gently patted Xiao Shan's shoulder, saying, "You can just rest here. You don't need to wait for me to come back. I'll be right back after I've finished dealing with things over there!"
Xiao Shan looked at Lu Yuan with a slightly nervous expression and said, "Then you must be careful!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and then followed Wang Laosi and the other man, speeding towards the coal mine.
As soon as I arrived at the coal mine, I saw a large group of people blocking the entrance, making a ruckus.
Not far from the outside of the coal mine, several men were seen holding umbrellas and shouting at the miners inside.
"This is a coal mine within our Shanxi province. How dare you mine here? Don't you know the rules? I order you to put everything down right now and shut down this mine immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
The miners retorted sharply, "Bullshit! This isn't your land at all. This place is now unclaimed territory. You want to steal it after we've finished setting things up? Have you no shame?!"
"That's right. You didn't want the coal mines that were left unattended for so long, and now that we've finished, you're trying to seize our territory. I think you're just here to take over. You're just waiting for us to clean up the coal mines so you can reap the benefits. We're not leaving. If anyone's leaving, it's you!"
Several men immediately became displeased, and several men dressed in black immediately tried to draw their weapons, but were stopped by the people on the side.
"Who is in charge here? Come out now! You are not allowed to mine here without a mining license!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly strode over and shouted to them, "I'm the person in charge here. If there's anything, he can come to me!"
Astonished glances immediately fell from the crowd. After looking Lu Yuan up and down, a few of them sneered.
"So you're just a little kid. I knew you were so ignorant, coming to our territory and daring to mine like that. Who gave you the guts? Now I'm telling you to take your men and get out of here. This is our territory!"
Lu Yuan sneered, then shouted sternly, "Your territory? Fine, then show me your land deeds and stuff. If you don't have them, then stop wasting your breath here!"
The man clearly didn't have these things, but he pulled out his law enforcement credentials from the survivor base and said, "I'm from the seventh survivor base in Jin Province. I'm a law enforcement officer there. I heard you've come here to mine illegally, so of course I have to take care of it. Since you're in charge here, then hurry up and take your men and leave. We've had our eyes on this place for a long time!"
Looking at the law enforcement certificate in the other party's hand, Lu Yuan sneered: "What does this prove? A law enforcement certificate? Hmph, this is nothing! A mere law enforcement team captain dares to come here and cause trouble. Now take your men and leave, or I really won't be polite to you later!"
The man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Heh heh, I see you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! I'll tell you one more time, get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite! Don't you know who I am? In this area, nobody dares to talk to me like that!"
Wang Laosi whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "Mr. Lu, this guy used to be a local tyrant in Jin Province. He managed all the coal mines around here. Now that it's the apocalypse, he's joined the survivor base and become the captain of an enforcement team with hundreds of men under his command! Why don't we go somewhere else? I know a small coal mine!"
Lu Yuan sneered and said, "What, is Wang Laosi afraid of him? It's the apocalypse now, the old rules don't apply anymore. Besides, he's just a small law enforcement captain, why are you afraid of him!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wang Laosi's face immediately turned red. He pointed at Sun Tao with his neck stiff and said, "Sun Lao Er, times have changed. The old rules don't apply to us anymore. No matter how well you did before, we're all the same now. Don't try to intimidate us with your past status. Nobody here is afraid of you!"
Sun Tao then stared at Wang Laosi for a moment, a fierce glint in his eyes, and said, "Who is it? It's you, Wang Laosi! How dare you talk to me like that? I think your whole family has a death wish!"
Wang Laosi, who had just mustered the courage to speak, deflated like a punctured balloon when he heard Sun Tao's threat and dared not utter another word.
Sun Tao swaggered up to Lu Yuan, staring intently at him, and whispered in his ear, "Kid, I already inquired about you before I came here. You just recruited these people because you have some supplies, right? Let me tell you the truth, your men are no match for me. Just wait and see!"
