After the gunshot rang out, everyone remained silent for a moment.
Many workers felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing the boy's tragic state, and many were already sobbing uncontrollably. After all, they had come here expecting to die, but they never expected to be saved by Lu Yuan.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Lu Yuan.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan's attention was already focused on the poisonous fog that was slowly approaching from a distance.
"Alright, if we want to get out of here alive, we'll have to rely on luck! Now's no time to waste, we have to climb up as quickly as possible!"
After saying that, he pointed to the ladder behind him and said to everyone, "Our guards will go up first! After making sure there are no problems up there, the workers will come to help from below, and finally you factory guards will go! You don't have any objections, do you?"
Upon hearing this, the workers were immediately moved to tears, and their legs went weak as they prepared to kneel in worship. However, a few members of the mine's guard team who came from a distance seemed somewhat displeased.
"Why should we be last?! If these guys are slow, we'll all be poisoned to death by this fog if we stay here!"
"That's right, that's right. These workers are going to die sooner or later anyway. They've already been exposed to severe radiation, and no one can cure them once they're out there. If you ask me, we, the mine's guards, should go out first!"
"We're all equal now. It's not like we can't beat you. If this stalemate continues, even with Captain Ou Cheng, you'll definitely be worn down by us! Why should you go first!"
"...!"
The mine's guards were all indignant and disagreed with Lu Yuan's actions, arguing amongst themselves.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan knew he couldn't be polite to them anymore.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan pulled out a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.
A gunshot rang out, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Lu Yuan's cold gaze swept over the mine guards: "Now I'm giving you two choices: either you leave as the last ones behind, or you stay here and wait to die! If you really want a standoff, I can rob you, and we'll go back and continue the standoff, seeing who dies first!"
These words immediately silenced everyone. Even the few who had been making the most noise rolled their eyes after hearing Lu Yuan's words, but said nothing more.
…
Two hours later.
After the last member of the mine guard team climbed up, a shrill scream suddenly came from below the mountain.
The last member of the guard team to arrive was clutching his chest, panting heavily, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"They...they're all dead! All dead!"
Although the other person's voice was very low, everyone could hear it. Lu Yuan looked down the mountain and saw that the originally grayish-white mist had now turned completely black.
"Damn it, what's going on? How come the fog is spreading so fast? How many people are still not up here?" Ou Chen's eyes were bloodshot as he rushed over, grabbed the last man by the collar, and shouted.
A hint of fear flashed in the other person's eyes. After looking at the crowd, he said, "There are... there are still more than ten people who haven't come up!"
As soon as the other person finished speaking, Ou Chenbian sat down on the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
"More than ten people? There are so many people, my brothers...they..." Ou Chen choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
Seeing this, Hei Zi sighed, "He's a man who values relationships, damn it, I actually felt a little soft-hearted!"
Then Hei Zi turned his head away from Ou Chen, while Ou Chen composed himself, stood up, and walked up to Lu Yuan.
"Captain Lu, I feel that before I die, there's still something I can do for you!"
As soon as Ou Chen said this, Hei Zi and Lu Yuan immediately leaned over and stared intently at each other.
"What did you just say? You mean you're going to do something for us?" Lu Yuan was a little excited at this moment, after all, he had seen the other party's marksmanship.
Although the distance between the two sides was not very far, given the visibility, the other party could kill them with a single shot based on just the faint shadow. Such marksmanship was definitely not that of an ordinary person.
If the other party is truly willing to submit to him, Lu Yuan will definitely be able to successfully solve this case at the crossroads.
Hei Zi quickly asked, "Just say what you have to say, stop with the nonsense!"
“I know who organized this gold mining team! And I also know where their hideout is! Before I die, I want to avenge my brothers. If it weren’t for them, my brothers wouldn’t be here!” A pleading look flickered in Ou Chen’s eyes.
"Great! Since you're willing to help, we won't stand on ceremony! Tell us, where are they?" Hearing that the other party knew about these things, Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
Then Ou Chen gently squatted down and told Lu Yuan everything he knew.
…
In the inner city, in a dimly lit room.
Pang Rui was watering several plants on the windowsill with a spray bottle when he turned around and saw Zhao Tinghai standing behind him. He asked, "You guys have been clumsy this time. You need to get this sorted out quickly, or I'll hand over the rest of the work to someone else!"
