Druid's Country Retirement

Boom! !

The deep pit weighed hundreds of tons of green diamond blocks. With the persistence of a group of workers, a gap was finally opened at the bottom, revealing the narrow space behind it.

"Broken!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Lazuli is so hard."

Everyone in the rescue operation rushed toward the gap, especially Zhou Dasheng, who rushed to the gap and leaned down, trying to get into the gap.

"I'll go in and save people!"

"You save a few people, but I don't even see if you can get in." Sun Qiang grabbed Zhou Dasheng and pushed him back.

The gap in front of you is less than 30 centimeters wide, and a normal adult cannot squeeze in. If you continue to break the stone, it is likely to cause the stone to lose its balance and cause a secondary landslide.

After scolding, Sun Qiang turned around and looked at the workers.

"Ma Gan, I'll give you 5 yuan if you go in to save people. If something happens, I'll pay another 30 yuan for settlement expenses. I'll raise your children until they are 20 years old. I'll give you another yuan to help your parents die. Do you want to do this?"

Save 5 people, give 50 if you die, raise children, and die for the elderly.

The workers are constantly calculating in their minds.

To be honest, the price is not low, but it also requires a fortune.

If there is a second landslide, it will be useless no matter how much money you give.

Once you get the money, your children and wife will end up taking advantage of others.

There was silence in the crowd for a moment, and then a short worker, only about 1.5 meters tall, walked out. His body was covered with mud, with only his eyes and big yellow teeth exposed.

"Sun Tou, I'll take over this job! You must keep your word!"

"Bullshit, you've been working with me since you were 17 years old. When have I ever told a lie? Even if I sell it, I'll get it for you. There are so many people here listening, and they all bear witness to me."

Sun Qiang punched Ma Gan in the chest, and in a blink of an eye he hugged him tightly again, "Ma Gan, be careful, come out quickly if something goes wrong!"

"Don't worry, I'm very tough, and I plan to work with you until I retire!" Ma Gan grinned, pushed Sun Qiang away and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Along the way, other workers passed flashlights to others, ropes to others, and patted the shoulders and heads of the hemp poles one after another.

"Ma Gan, if you don't come back, I won't pay back your money."

"Be careful!"

"Go early and come back early!"

"I'll buy you a drink when I come back and take you to the city to eat meat."

Ma Gan walked to the entrance of the cave, gestured with the size of the hole, took off his clothes except for a pair of underwear, smeared his whole body with mud, held the flashlight in his mouth, and held on to the rope.

He got into the hole head first, constantly adjusting his body position, and soon disappeared into the narrow entrance.

There seemed to be no sound in the pit for an instant, and everything became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the hemp rope that was deepening at the entrance of the cave, hoping to hear the hemp rope saying that they had found someone in the next moment.

Sun Qiang sighed, clapped his hands and said, "Don't stand still. Drainage should be drained. Don't let the water pump have an accident."

After finishing speaking, he kicked Zhou Dasheng who was sitting in the water.

"Look at what kind of work you do. It's really rough. You dare to drill even if you don't know the geological environment."

"Fortunately, Dr. Li didn't pursue the case, otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to pay back even if you sold your underwear."

Zhou Dasheng's eyes were dull.

It was originally a small project, why did it happen like this?

The team members all said it felt wrong, so why were they forced to continue the construction.

If something happens, several families will be broken up.

It's not enough to die a hundred times.

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was still no movement, but the rope kept being extended, and the workers even reattached two rolls of rope midway.

It's not that the exploration team members were pressed behind the rocks. How far could this go? It was more than ten meters above the sky, but these three rolls of rope were almost used up. One roll of rope was 100 meters, and three rolls were 300 meters.

There was no movement for three hundred meters, damn it!

"Water, water is coming out of the hole!" A worker suddenly changed his face and shouted in panic.

what?

Sun Qiang and Zhou Dasheng felt their hearts pounding and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

Visible to the naked eye, water flows outward from the entrance of the cave. It was just a small amount of water at first. As time goes by, the flow of water becomes larger and larger, and it spurts out.

"How could this happen?" Sun Qiang immediately shouted to the workers, "Hurry up and pull the rope."

"Can't pull!!"

Zhou Dasheng immediately stopped it, and the loss of the team members did not affect his professionalism.

The workers were confused by the two instructions. They were holding the rope in their hands, whether they pulled it or not.

"My worker is still inside." Sun Qiang roared anxiously.

Zhou Dasheng also shouted, "My team members are also down there. You are also a geologist. Don't you know what the gushing water means?"

Gushing water! !

How could Sun Qiang not know?

Water gushing is also called water inrush.

During underground construction, if you pass through areas with developed karst caves, you will especially encounter sudden large amounts of water influx caused by underground river systems, thick water-bearing sand and gravel layers, and large fractured zones connected to surface water.

The groundwater and surface water sources in the rock gaps gush out under pressure, which is called water inrush. If the amount is large and strong, the sudden water inflow is called water inrush.

The hole in front of me has obviously changed from a gushing water to a gushing water.

This shows that the collapse of the mountain and the ground caused the underground rivers to fill up the deep pits, causing water to flow out.

The exploration team members and Ma Gan!

Sun Qiang and Zhou Dasheng didn't dare to think about it because the worst outcome had already come out.

Despite their best efforts, they finally had to face the cruel reality that the rescue failed.

No one can survive the collapse of the underground river.

There is no need to continue the rescue.

Wait for the body to be recovered!

"You are still a professional geological exploration team. You are so rough at work. I was killed by you!!" Sun Qiang cursed sadly and angrily. He didn't even understand the geological structure yet, so he dared to dig wells at will. Now it's better. You can do it yourself. You have to pay for it too.

Thinking about dealing with Ma Gan's funeral, my heart suddenly became a mess.

After scolding, Sun Qiang turned around and shouted to the workers.

"Every dog ​​that got in went up. The bottom of the pit is not safe now."

When the workers heard that they had given up, they immediately talked anxiously.

"Brother Sun, the hemp pole is still down there!"

"Let's go up, what should we do with Ma Gan?"

"If you don't leave, I will save Ma Gan!"

Sun Qiang felt mixed emotions in his heart. Ma Gan's chance of survival was slim, but he couldn't let anything happen to these people in front of him. He endured the grief in his heart and yelled and cursed.

"I didn't know the hemp pole was down there. It's up to you to save me."

"There's so much water here, and there's a second landslide."

"Are you going to go with Ma Gan?"

"Get the hell up here."

Secondary landslides will also occur.

The workers were stunned for a moment, and immediately no one mentioned anything about rescuing Ma Gan, and the heroic words of living and dying together with Ma Gan disappeared.

They all dropped their tools, turned around and ran out of the pit, for fear that they would run slower than others.

The only two remaining members of the geological exploration team felt heavy and helpless. They understood that every second of delay could lead to more danger and losses.

After careful consideration and professional evaluation, a difficult decision had to be made.

Give up the rescue. This decision is not easy, because we know very well the despair and pain that the families of our companions buried underground will face.

But they also understand that continuing to persist could put more people at risk.

The first priority in rescue operations is to ensure the safety of yourself and other personnel.

"Captain, let's go up!"

"The dead cannot be resurrected, we tried our best!"

"Who would have thought that the geology here is so complex, with gravel layers, fault zones and limestone areas. Let's go!"

At this time, not only did the stone caves spew out in the deep pit, but a large amount of water penetrated in many places.

The three water pumps didn't work at all.

Within a few minutes, the water was up to his knees.

Zhou Dasheng's heart was full of bitterness. Looking at the entrance of the cave that had been flooded with water, tears finally fell from his eyes.

Just a moment ago, the team members were still discussing how to finish the work and return to the city to drink and take a bath.

Tian Zi said he would use the money to buy an iPhone for his girlfriend.

Xizi said she wanted to enroll her child in a basketball class.

Wu Zi said that he and his wife would go to his mother-in-law's house.

Xiao Si said that he wanted to buy a new set of clothes and want to go on a blind date.

Now, there is nothing!

I'm sorry for you! !

Zhou Dasheng cried silently and knelt in the water, kowtowing heavily to the boulder.

The water splashed everywhere, dyed red, and turned into red threads and was swept away by the water.

The remaining two team members looked at each other, stepped forward, lifted up Zhou Dasheng's arms, and dragged him to the ladder. Sun Qiang stood on the edge of the pit and saw Zhou Dasheng like a walking corpse. He cursed in his heart and leaned over to grab him. The collar was forcefully pulled back to the ground.

When everyone returned to safe ground, they felt an unusual tremor.

Didi didi! ! !

The wireless ground-penetrating radar on the waist of an exploration team member once again made a harsh beep.

"Come on, get out of here!"

"The underground river changes its flow, causing the formation pressure to change and causing repeated local collapse. Leave this area first."

The exploration team members quickly told the workers to run backwards and escape from this dangerous place.

Boom!

The large pit began to tremble slightly, as if sending a warning.

The ground of the deep pit began to sink, with cracks appearing all around, and the collapsed area continued to expand, as if a hungry beast had opened its bloody mouth and devoured everything around it.

At the same time, the mountain was shaking, and huge rocks fell from the rock wall, making a thunderous sound.

Until everyone ran to the backyard.

There was a roar behind him, dust flew all over the sky, and he rushed out from the mouth of the mountain col.

Everything became blurry and chaotic.

Everyone felt that the surrounding objects were tilting and collapsing, and huge rocks and soil were sliding down, which made people frightened.

The wolfhounds looked up at the dust rushing towards them, not flinching even a step.

Dad said it.

Guard the medicine garden.

"Dahua, Erhei, Sanhui, Xiaobai, come out quickly!!" Sun Qiang shouted anxiously to the medicine garden.

Woohoo!

Dahua shook his head and disappeared into the dust with his younger brothers and sisters.

well! !

Sun Qiang stamped his feet anxiously. If he knew something happened to the wolves and dogs, Doctor Li would not go crazy.

"Sun Tou, what should we do now? My tools are still left in there!" A worker approached unconsciously and asked, making the scene look awkward.

This sentence just gave Sun Qiang an opportunity to vent his anger. He grabbed the worker for questioning and scolded him.

"I need a few tools. Now that everyone is gone, you still worry about the tools. Are you brainless?"

Other workers shrank their necks, no one would help.

It doesn’t matter what the occasion is, this is what I can ask!

In the future, stay away from this kind of people, or you may be dragging yourself down if you seek death.

"Stop arguing!" Zhou Dasheng had woken up from his grief and looked at the dust gradually falling from the sky in the mountain col. "I'll go in and take a look at the situation. This should be the last geological turmoil."

"Are you sure?" Sun Qiang asked sideways.

After Zhou Dasheng regained his senses, he instantly transformed into a technical man. “The area where the karst cave developed encountered an underground river system, causing the gravel layer to partially collapse. The karst water was pressurized and emerged, forming hydrodynamic pressure and negative pressure, thus further expanding the collapse. After repeated water leakage and collapse processes, it will eventually stabilize."

"Xiao Chai, give me the wireless ground penetrating radar. You wait here while I go in first to explore the situation."

"Captain, if you don't have to wait any longer, the geological environment inside has not stabilized yet. If that's not possible, let's make a rescue call to other geological teams." The exploration team member suggested with an ugly face.

"Give it to me!" Zhou Dasheng stretched out his hand and said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Brothers are still inside. They want to see people when they are alive, and they want to see their corpses when they die."

The exploration team had no choice but to remove the ground-penetrating radar.

After taking the radar, Zhou Dasheng showed a sad smile and looked at Sun Qiang, "Sun Sanguai, if something happens to me, please help me take care of Feifei and the child. I know that you two have a personal connection!"

"Fart!" Sun Qiang raised his face and realized that his old classmate was delivering his last words. Then he dropped his face and said sarcastically, "I just send text messages occasionally to talk about the current situation. Don't think too much about it."

"I know!" Zhou Dasheng smiled, as if the things he had been struggling with for more than ten years were no longer important at this moment. He picked up the instrument and rushed into the flying dust.

"You must come back!" Sun Qiang shouted, looking at the disappearing figure.

The figure from behind raised his hand, which was covered by dust.

"Boss Sun, what should we do now?" a familiar worker asked in a low voice

"Wait a minute, who knows what it's like inside." Sun Qiang turned around and saw workers who looked like clay figures. Thinking of the hemp pole that he had cheated, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he sat down on the ground, "Asian man" Who knows who else is in the Gan family besides his wife and children."

A villager stepped forward cautiously, "Sun Tou, Ma Gan and I are from the same village, and he has an old lady at home."

Ugh!

Sun Qiang was silent for a moment, "Go back and pack up Ma Gan's things. You go to his house with me. I promise you won't owe a penny. I'm sorry for Ma Gan, Gan!!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was silence in the backyard. Everyone was sitting on the ground. Four people were gone in the whole morning, and the atmosphere became silent and sad.

All in all!

The sound of footsteps came from the dusty corridor of the mountain col.

Everyone in the backyard looked up.

Two figures broke through the flying dust and appeared in front of everyone.

It was Zhou Dasheng who staggered out while supporting a wet exploration team member, followed by dusty wolf dogs.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

Someone actually survived.

"What are you doing standing around stupidly? Come here and help!" Zhou Dasheng couldn't hide the joy on his face and shouted loudly.

Wow!

Sun Qiang was the first to rush forward, took over the exploration team, and asked excitedly, "How did you survive? Where are the others!"

The team member looked tired, and the fear in his eyes had not yet dissipated. He said weakly, "They... They were hiding in the cave, and there was a worker. I jumped into the pit and swam out to find him."

What! !

Ma Gan is alive!

Sun Qiang's whole body seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, his sadness swept away, and he turned to look at Zhou Dasheng.

"A dog entered it, and you really found it!"
