It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 450 Old Hassan

A mine usually has at least three passages. If it is a large mine, there will be more passages.

The most frequently used shaft is the auxiliary shaft, through which workers go to and from get off work. Then there is the main shaft, which is designed to be relatively open and is used to transport mineral resources. Then there is the ventilation shaft, which is used to ensure ventilation safety.

Huang Yi followed the GRU to the main well. On the way, he got a general understanding of the situation here.

This gold mine has been mined for more than 30 years. Originally, the outskirts of the valley were all wilderness. Later, a large number of workers brought their families and settled here, making the town take shape. At first, there were only some small shops along the street selling food and textiles. Later, the workers had nowhere to spend their generous salaries, so taverns sprang up and markets were bustling. In its most prosperous period, it was even called the Golden Town.

But it still failed to change the GRU's poor national strength.

The people here have a low level of education and a strong gold-digging atmosphere. The descendants of the workers are influenced by this atmosphere from a young age and usually become miners when they grow up. The most famous of them are the Hassan brothers. They are strong and brutal, and they form gangs to form a force that no one in the town dares to mess with.

But every mine has its own "lifespan". After two or three decades of mining, the mine's output continued to decline and the town became increasingly depressed. The locust plague was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

A large number of residents fled, and only a few miners and their families remained here.

The old man who is now leading Huang Yi and others is one of the Hassan brothers, and because of his old age he is called Old Hassan.

Miners usually have a short life, either dying in mines with incomplete safety facilities or dying from diseases caused by the harsh working environment. Among the Hassan brothers, only the elder Hassan lived to be over 60 years old. Locals believed that the elder Hassan was a man blessed by God.

Old Hassan brought Huang Yi and his group to the entrance of the mine and stopped.

"The generators in the mine can only support the power supply needs of the living area. So there is no power supply in this area and the lighting equipment cannot be used. If you want to go down to find people, you need to solve this problem first." Old Hassan said.

He doesn't look kind like ordinary old people. Instead, he is a little weird and often makes inappropriate expressions.

For example, at this moment, his sparse eyebrows were drooping, his eyes were wide open, and his bloodshot lower eyelids made him look sick, and his cracked mouth corners revealed a faint sneer and mockery.

Old Hassan stared at Huang Yi, making Huang Yi feel very uncomfortable.

The lighting problem is not difficult to solve. Flashlights, emergency lights, windproof candles and other things are all available. The problem Huang Yi faces now is who to ask to go with these GRU people to find people.

Sending Ethiopian soldiers down would easily escalate conflicts. The two countries were not on good terms to begin with, and there would be a language barrier if personnel were drawn from the rescue team. Perhaps he could go down with his secretary, but he is the commander. If he leaves his command position, who will take over the command task in case of an unexpected situation?
When he was in trouble, Li Qing found Huang Yi and asked politely, "Sir, can I have a word with you?"

Huang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked over.

He had seen Feng Ling's file and knew that she had a player and an administrator by her side. This was no secret within the Supervisory Bureau.

But after all, he had never met him in person, so he was not sure what role this elegant Taoist priest played beside Feng Ling.

Huang Yi followed Li Qing to the side and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Qing glanced at Ye Zheng, who was in a state of anxiety not far away, and whispered, "No matter what the situation is underground, we must get Feng Ling's contaminated bodies in as soon as possible. If they stay on the ground, no one can control them."

Huang Yi frowned and replied: "Of course I know this."

Li Qing added: "With the GRU leading the way, we may not have to worry about getting lost, but we have to be on guard against these GRU. My ability can check the opponent's cards. The cards of these three people are Swordsman, Black Vulture, and Ghoul. If these people have bad intentions after going deep underground, they are familiar with the terrain and have card abilities, which will be very disadvantageous to us."

Huang Yi was slightly stunned, frowning, "Swordsman? Are you sure?"

"Yes." Li Qing nodded and said, "The old man who calls himself Old Hassan has a swordsman card in his body." Huang Yi fell silent, his expression gradually turned cold.

Li Qing was puzzled, thinking that he had offended the other party with some words. At this time, Huang Yi suddenly turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mine and said, "I'll go down and take a look myself."

Li Qing was stunned.

When Eshia's general learned that Huang Yi was going down the mine, he was also stunned, and hurriedly said that Eshia's soldiers were ready to sacrifice.

Huang Yi replied coldly, “No need”.

He used headphones to contact the front line and asked Xu Yiming to take over the command temporarily. Then he entered the mine with his secretary without any hesitation.

Old Hassan and two GRU hunters followed him in.

Ye Zheng passed by Li Qing and urged him, "Why are you daydreaming? Let's go in too."

"But don't we want him to send more people?" Li Qing looked at Huang Yi's disappearing back blankly, "He hasn't sent more people yet."

Ye Zheng quickly replied: "He is enough!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed into the mine.

The cat spider and the man-faced crow also rushed in hurriedly.

Seeing this, Li Qing had no choice but to hurry in.

……

The mine is dark. After leaving the main tunnel, the space gradually becomes narrower, and there are many branches of different sizes, just like branches extending from a tree, and thinner branches grow on the branches, endlessly.

The crows rushed into these forked roads without thinking.

Some of them disappeared as soon as they went in, some went in from the left and came out from the right, which shows that the route was a mess.

"With so many contaminants, we should be able to find your team members quickly, no matter how complicated the mine is." Old Hassan said with a smile as he walked, "If they are still alive."

His voice was like a mummy tearing off its dried shroud; hoarse, dull, and full of ill intent.

Huang Yi remained calm and scanned the surroundings with a flashlight.

Old Hassan walked in front, gently stroking a rock wall, and said in an especially gentle tone: "Look, the first piece of gold I dug when I was young was dug here. This mountain has nurtured all of us and continues to bring us wealth and happiness."

Huang Yi said calmly: "But now there are only monsters here."

"So what if they are monsters? Monsters can also be wealth!" Old Hassan turned his head to look at Huang Yi, grinning and revealing his sparse and crooked yellow teeth. "Sir, you are a foreigner. You don't understand. For those of us who have been mining underground for many years, giant earthworms are both nightmares and our guardian gods."

"I respect your tradition, but four members of the rescue team are missing now, which is likely related to this monster, so we will spare no effort to kill it." Huang Yi said meaningfully, "Of course, if the murderer is indeed this monster."
