Early the next morning after everyone was captured, they had enough rest. They drove a truck and pulled a car full of adult prisoners across the concrete bridge over the trench, then through the remains of the shacks, and finally stopped at
The entrance to Mine No. 5.
Behind them, Selsi commanded four boys, one girl and five little guys in a decent manner, and was busy moving all the things that were not in the nurses' dormitory to the anti-theft sliding door on the second floor of the abandoned hospital.
These second-generation prisoners are quite obedient. After all, according to Selsi, only by working hard can their parents and uncles eat at night, otherwise they will go hungry.
From this point of view, Sersi can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of his father, Dr. Gusen - neither giving these prisoners second-generation weapons, nor allowing them to have other ideas, as long as they work hard.
But looking at the little guys headed by Yin Linni's son Vajim running around happily, you can tell that they don't think they are Sersi's prisoners. Perhaps for them, in the temporary
After forgetting yesterday's fear, what they are doing now may be more like a super-real pretending to be a house party - except that a few of them happen to play the role of prisoners of war.
No matter how these underage kids get along with each other, at the entrance of Mine No. 5, Weiran also helped the father of the children heal his accidentally dislocated elbow. At the same time, Mikita and Paulide
, also helped the prisoner of war No. 589 who was shot and the prisoner who was bitten by the wolf into a mine car.
In addition to the two wounded people, the mine car also contained two kerosene lamps with astonishing brightness, and an alarm clock that would sound in two hours.
In another connected mine car, there were several boxes of explosives and corresponding tools that Pontiac's head nurse had helped prepare in advance, as well as four oxygen bottles one meter and a half long and a vehicle battery.
Several simple breathing tubes connected in parallel extend from the valve of the oxygen cylinder. These are all preparations made by Yin Linni and others to enter the No. 4 mine.
"One last reminder"
Wei Ran, who had a flashlight on his waist, cleared his throat and said, "The first thing we have to do is start the generator you hid here in the summer and let the ventilation system here work again.
Secondly, we need to blast open the collapsed mine tunnel and clear a route into Mine No. 4.
Finally, I don’t mind you resisting after entering the depths of the mine. But when we come out five hours later, if Paulide and I are injured in any way, or if we fail to come out before the agreed time, your
Children, your companions will all die. Captain Mikita will also blow up the entrance to Mine No. 5."
Seeing that the retired prisoners of war who were following them all nodded, Wei Ran and Mikita who stayed behind nodded to each other, and then waved.
Without any need to say hello, the four following prisoners of war worked together to push the two mine carts with their shoulders and started to move forward. Wei Ran and Paulide also followed at the end with pistols each.
Under the guidance of Prisoner of War No. 589 and the prisoner of war bitten by the wolf, the mine cart traveled dozens of meters along the rusty narrow track and stopped at the entrance of a branch mine tunnel.
The prisoner of war, who had little strength in his head and hands, immediately picked up the vehicle battery with a wooden stick and walked in.
Wei Ran followed up with a kerosene vapor lamp and took a look. Less than ten meters into the branch mine tunnel, there was a tattered wooden box and two 200-liter oil drums that were mostly buried in the ore.
After the four prisoners of war opened the wooden box, they found a generator hidden inside. They connected the battery to the generator, filled it with gasoline, and replaced the spark plugs they brought. After several ignitions, the machine
was started successfully.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the miner's lamp in the mine was the first to light up. Then, the air supply system at the entrance of the cave began to rumble after receiving power supply, and the cold and fresh air flowed for more than ten minutes.
Years of ventilation ducts were sent into the depths of Mine No. 5.
The clothes of the four prisoners of war who had completed their first job were additionally checked. After confirming that they had not secretly hidden any weapons, the two mine carts driven by manpower began to move forward again.
Compared with Wei Ran, who was always vigilant about the prisoners of war, Paulide was busy recording the team's direction throughout the process to avoid being led astray.
After walking cautiously along the rusty track for almost an hour, Prisoner of War No. 589, who was sitting in the leading mine car, pointed with his right hand, which was the only one with enough strength, at the mine hanging on a bifurcated mine road on the left.
The four kerosene lamps said, "This is it, go in from here."
Hearing this, Wei Ran took a kerosene lamp and walked over to the mine tunnel, which was only one and a half meters high at most, to take a look.
There is no narrow track laid here at all, and there are no ventilation ducts or miner's lamps above the head. Even the width is only a pitiful less than one meter, and the left and right sides and the top of the head are all supported by wooden boards and logs.
Not to mention the minecart, even if a person wants to get in, they have to carefully avoid the log pillars that are supported at diagonal angles.
On the other hand, perhaps because it is far enough away from the surface, not only is the temperature high enough for people to take off their heavy cotton clothes, but the air is also extremely humid and carries the unique smell of rotten wood.
"Baolide, can you stay and keep an eye on the two of them?" Wei Ran turned around and asked.
"Be careful yourself." As Paulide spoke, he had already taken out a kerosene gas lamp from the door frame of the cave, poured some kerosene from the 20-liter oil drum next to it, and started pressurizing and preheating.
"Get a box of explosives first"
While Wei Ran was talking, he had already taken out the detonating device from the box and put it into his pants pocket, and then took off his heavy cotton coat.
Under his order, the four prisoners of war each put a few pieces of explosives in their pockets, and then took tools such as drills, hammers, and even pickaxes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For them, everything seems to be no different from what it was more than ten years ago, but they are no longer young now.
Under Wei Ran's urging, the four of them bent down and entered the mine, carefully walking around logs that looked like door bars.
After walking forward for almost fifty meters, Wei Ran finally saw the collapse in front of him.
At the end of the mine tunnel, there is a huge boulder that is almost perfectly sealed. Between the boulder and the mine tunnel floor, you can still see the remaining half of a skull. Obviously, someone was trapped here by a sudden collapse.
In addition, on one side of the boulder, you can still see the marks carved by steel drills. There is already a long row of holes almost as thick as a cucumber, obviously waiting to be filled with explosives that can crack mountains and crack rocks.
In addition, he could vaguely feel a little breeze blowing in the gaps between the rock walls, which was rare good news.
After careful observation, Wei Ran took a few pieces of explosives from the hands of a prisoner of war, pressed the detonator, and stuffed them into the holes one by one. Then he immediately turned around and crawled in the direction he came from, while releasing the explosives bit by bit.
Detonate the wire and tie it roughly to those logs used as supports.
Back outside, Wei Ran waited patiently for the four prisoners of war to come out, and immediately pressed the detonator.
After a series of not-so-big explosions, the four prisoners of war each covered their faces with a wet towel they had brought in, then put on their gloves and climbed in.

Soon, one of the prisoners of war shouted from inside, "Captain Victor, we have to continue blasting. There are still rocks behind the blasting point."
"You four are digging blast holes in there."
Wei Ran squatted at the entrance of the mine and shouted, "I will come down for the second blast in four hours. If the blast hole is not qualified, you will stay and continue working for four hours. If it is qualified, someone will take over your work. You
You can also go up there to eat and rest.”
After saying that, Wei Ran looked at Bao Lid and said, "Would you like to go back and rest first, or should you stand on the first shift?"
"Let's go to the first class!" Paulide said honestly, "I don't want to crawl back just after I got off, my knees will be broken."
Hearing this, Wei Ran took out his pocket watch and checked the time, "Be careful, I or Mikita will come over for you in 4 hours."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and returned the same way. It took him almost an hour and a half to meet up with Mikita who was still waiting at the entrance of the cave.
After briefly describing the situation inside, Wei Ran ignored the screams of the prisoners of war and Yin Linni's frightened look, and helped the prisoners of war heal their dislocated elbows one by one, and even kindly taught them massage therapy.
Swollen method.
The purpose of all this is naturally to enable these prisoners of war to exert greater labor value.
After waiting for just over an hour, Mikita, who was eager to go down to see the situation, took four prisoners of war and a barrel of fuel in the mine car and set off to replace Paulide.
At the same time, Wei Ran also called on Yin Linni and the remaining prisoners of war to use local materials to set up stoves and prepare meals and hot water for the prisoners who were about to return. After all, even if they were milling donkeys, they would still be able to finish their work.
You have to feed a handful of soybeans, right?
They worked in three shifts for a full 12 hours, and experienced a total of 4 blasts in the depths of the mine. But even so, there was still no sign of opening up the narrow mine tunnel, and at most it was just blowing from the opposite side.
The wind has just gotten stronger.
"That mine tunnel is too narrow."
On the way back to the abandoned hospital with the prisoners of war, Mikita, who was sitting in the cargo hold with his hands tied behind his back, complained, "Only four people can go in at a time to work, and one more person can't swing the hammer."
"Don't worry, it's only the first day."
Wei Ran, who was also sitting in the cargo hold, smiled and reassured, "And it's much better than the four of us swinging a hammer, isn't it?"
"This sentence is correct."
Mikita said with a smile on his face, "Victor, you can't dislocate these people's arms anymore, although I admit that they won't be able to run, but it will affect work efficiency too much."
"No problem." Wei Ran nodded happily, "Tie them up at night."
"I don't know what delicious food Sersi has prepared for us." Mikita changed the subject with a smile.
"Crockpot braised beef, cabbage soup, and Leba." Wei Ran said without thinking, "Otherwise, how else can you expect him to make anything delicious?"
"That's right." Mikita sighed, instantly losing any expectations for the dinner that was about to begin.
