Chapter 402 Gold mine, I want gold mine!
But these people had a miserable life. Not only did they fail to find a way out, but they were trapped in the mountains and forests. They didn't run far before they encountered a python.
The scary thing is that they accidentally entered the python's lair.
Many people died tragically in the belly of pythons in the dark of night for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, they snatched some guns and weapons from the guards before running out.
Relying on the knives and guns in their hands, the crowd fought with the pythons. Although they killed quite a few pythons, going deep into the python's lair was no joke. After one batch of snakes died, another batch came, and the number was increasing.
It seemed that we were running out of bullets.
In desperation, an experienced old man gave advice that the man with the gun should provide cover while the others quickly started a fire.
Although lighting torches might attract the forest guards, saving lives was the most important thing right now.
If you are caught by the forest guards, the worst that can happen is that you will be taken back and beaten up.
It’s much better than being buried in a python’s belly!
So, under the cover of machine guns, everyone raised torches. The python was afraid of fire and did not dare to move forward.
However, they found that they were now surrounded by poisonous snakes and it was not easy to escape.
Just then, someone with sharp eyes discovered a cave.
The crowd held up fire to threaten the snakes and came to the cave.
The cave is very dry and there is wind blowing in from the entrance, which means that the cave is connected to the outside.
If you walk out of the cave and come out from another entrance, you might be able to escape the python's encirclement.
Snakes usually live in damp places, and this cave is very dry, so there should be no snakes in it.
Everyone placed torches at the entrance of the cave and added some firewood, so that the fire would always cover the entrance and the snakes would not dare to approach.
They could take advantage of the time when the fire was burning to escape from the cave.
So everyone entered the cave and began to look for an exit.
However, the cave was winding and the group walked for a long time but still could not see the entrance on the other side.
The fresh water and dry food were almost gone, and I was exhausted. If I kept betting that there was an exit ahead and found out it was a dead end, it would definitely be my death.
Just when everyone was in despair, they discovered a light ahead. Everyone perked up and ran over, only to be surprised to find that the light was not an exit, but the light of their torches reflected from some rocks.
Those who understood could see at a glance that it was a gold mine.
There are gold mines here and there.
Everyone was extremely excited, but also very annoyed.
The excitement is that these gold mines are rich enough to rival a country. If they can secretly get some, they will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
The frustrating thing is that the entrance to the cave has not been found yet. I’m afraid if I go any further, I’ll die in there.
How to do?
There are only two options now: take a gamble, go forward, walk out of the cave, and then find a chance to come back and get the gold mine.
Another way is to go back and exit from the cave you came from.
Of course, that was not the snake’s lair, so they could only wait until daytime and then leave the cave.
Because snakes are more active at night, and it is winter now, there are few clouds in the sky and the sun is strong, snakes generally do not show their heads at noon.
So, stay at the entrance of the cave until tomorrow noon, and escape when there is still enough sunlight.
Everyone started a discussion about these two options.
The former is very risky, because dry food and fresh water are very limited at the moment. If we just move forward and can't find the exit, we will all die of thirst or hunger here.
Even if they find an exit, if the location of the exit is not good enough, everyone will still face great difficulties.
Therefore, this method has too much uncertainty.
If you choose the latter, it will be much safer to take the steamed bread back.
Because there is no fork in the road in this cave so far.
The journey here took an hour, and the journey back took just as long. Their bodies could handle it.
It is safer to light torches near the cave entrance and take turns to guard it, rest for a night, recover your strength, and escape at noon the next day.
So, after discussion, everyone chose the second route and returned the same way.
However, their calculations were wrong.
Although everything went smoothly, they still stayed at the entrance of the cave until the next morning. After waiting for a few more hours, when the midday sun came out, they could walk out of the cave.
However, when they waited for the snakes to retreat, they were greeted by the forest guards instead.
When Xianglong International headquarters heard that the forest workers had escaped, they specially dispatched a large number of people to the forest farm.
In addition, Tang Longxiang also paid to hire local official troops and forest guards to hunt down the escaped workers on a large scale.
And they easily found the hiding place of the escaped workers.
Because there were traces of fighting in the mountains and forests, dead pythons and snake carcasses, as well as dead workers.
Moreover, there was a man-made fire at the entrance of the cave.
Therefore, this group of workers who wanted to escape were surrounded in the cave by guards and local troops before they could even reach the midday sun.
Helplessly, the workers surrendered and were taken back to the forest farm.
In order to make an example to the workers who had not escaped but wanted to escape, Xianglong International gathered all the escapees in a logging room and tortured them in turns, torturing them beyond recognition.
Some workers couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy, saying that if they were let go this time, they would tell the forest farm a huge secret.
In order to survive, these people had no choice but to tell others about the gold mine.
This caused a huge uproar. Tang Longxiang of Xianglong International personally went into the deep mountain forest farm and brought several experts to investigate.
Because that was the snakes' lair, Tang Longxiang specially asked people to bring a lot of firearms and sulfur, determined to wipe out the pythons and their nest.
As Tang Longxiang's food safety consultant, Red Scorpion naturally has to accompany him closely.
According to Red Scorpion's drunken recollection, Xianglong International mobilized hundreds of people, armed with various flamethrowers, spreading sulfur, and spraying poison. After three days, they finally killed all the pythons. Those that survived fled and dared not come back.
Then, Xianglong International completely bought the mountain and officially started its golden age.
Red Scorpion said that the mine was full of gold and preliminary estimates suggested it could be mined for decades or even hundreds of years.
Jiang Ning later went to Southeast Asia and had the opportunity to visit a gold mine.
It is indeed as Red Scorpion said, the gold mine is so rich that Dragon International could not use it up in several lifetimes.
At this moment, Jiang Ning had a bold idea in his mind.
Although my business is big now, the funds have not yet been recovered and there is a void inside.
If he could take over the gold mine before others discovered it, the Jianghai Group would have an inexhaustible treasury.
Jiang Ning's future is not to become the richest man in Haicheng, nor to become the number one in Jiangnan Province. His goal is to be on par with the world's top organization, the Sun Society, and to trample it under his feet so that it has no power to harm the world.
He wants to complete the great work that he failed to accomplish in his previous life in this life.
Funding comes first. As long as you have money, everything else will be easy.
If Jiang Ning can take over the gold mine, his pace of progress will be faster and faster.
It won’t be too far before we can face off against a world-class behemoth like the Sun Club!
