The footsteps in the corridor outside the door made Andor even more frightened. As if he was nervous, he suddenly raised the shotgun in his hand and fired at the door. His son's exclamation came from outside the door, which made him feel relieved and startled at the same time.
"It's me, father, it's me. Can I come in now?" The eldest son looked back with lingering fear at a destroyed painting on the wall of the corridor. Several sharp fragments tore the frame, and the shock caused the painting to break. A painting worth several thousand yuan became a piece of junk.
There are two types of shotgun bullets. One is the general-purpose bullet, which is also the most mainstream bullet at present. Most firearms, including standard and non-standard, use such general-purpose bullets. There is also a splitting bullet, which requires a muzzle splitter to be installed on the muzzle. The special warhead will produce a slight vibration when passing through the splitter. This vibration is very small, but it is enough to cause the bullet to split into six pieces and be shot out. This kind of fragmentation bomb is mainly used for hunting and killing large animals, as well as for destructive killing at close range.
The range of the splinter bomb is not far, only twenty meters, but it is enough for use.
Andor made no sound. He was listening carefully to the sounds outside the door. After about ten seconds, he asked: "Are you the only one?"
"Yes, I am alone, what should we do now?" The eldest son kept looking out the window at the end of the corridor. The intensive gunfire in his ears had subsided a lot, and even appeared for a few seconds. pause.
If the invaders hadn't been repelled, there was only one other possibility left, the one he least wanted to see - the mine protection team had failed, and they were almost wiped out.
When the entire camp was originally built, the camp was divided into three parts. One part was the daily life area of the slaves, the other part was the daily life area and ore sorting area for the employees, and the living area where this villa is located. Among the three living areas, except for the slave living area which was surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, the other two areas only had short fences half as high as a person. If the mine protection team is defeated, it means that the intruders will arrive outside the villa within a few minutes.
There is no such thing as an underground passage in the villa. When it was originally built, it was not considered that it would be threatened. There are more than 200 mine protection teams in the entire mining area, which is enough to suppress any behavior of the slaves. In addition, there is a high wall outside the camp, which is enough to make Andorra very reassured about its own safety.
It is impossible to leave now, and the only way seems to be to stay here and wait for the judgment of fate.
After a while, Andor's voice of "Come in" came from the room. The eldest son opened the door carefully, then stood outside the door with his hands raised, making sure that his father could see him, and then he walked inside.
"Close the door!" Andor moved the muzzle of his gun. His eldest son immediately closed the half-broken door again. He put down the shotgun and leaned aside, then called his eldest son and walked towards the display cabinet. "Here, help me push the cabinet over and the sofa..."
The two people pushed almost all the movable objects in the room to the door and blocked the door tightly. They all still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. If the intruders couldn't get in, someone might notice something unusual here at dawn and call the police, and then they would be saved.
The daily food and drink expenses for so many people in the camp are a very huge amount. In addition, the camp itself does not engage in farming and animal husbandry, so someone will deliver food every day. At five o'clock every morning, two carriages will bring everything from the camp to the camp for the whole day. If they find something wrong, maybe the father and son can be rescued... I hope so!
"Can you use a gun?" Andor put a shotgun into his eldest son's hand and gave him a box of bullets, all of which were splitting bullets.
The eldest son nodded. He had hunted twice with Andorra. Compared to Andorra's passion for hunting, the eldest son preferred more civilized things. But now the situation was special. He inserted the feeder into the shotgun according to the actions in his memory, and turned on the safety. The father and son looked at each other, sat in the corner of the room, and stared quietly in the direction of the door.
The gunfire outside the house became less and less, and the intermittent gunfire seemed to stop anytime and anywhere. After an unknown period of time, the night returned to silence, and there were no more gunshots, as if the previous bustle was all a false illusion.
"Are there any casualties?" Du Lin walked in from the gate with a cigarette in his mouth. He saw a bandage on Dufo's arm and asked.
Dufo nodded, "Seven people died... and more than thirty people were injured. We are not familiar with the terrain here, and they killed seven of them with black guns."
It is normal to have casualties in such a battle. Even Kina, who is responsible for covering snipers outside, dare not say that he can take care of all places. In addition, there are also some ores accumulated in many places, and stray bullets and ricochet are also caused. part of the cause of casualties.
Du Lin nodded solemnly and walked to the open space behind the main gate. The open space was filled with corpses, one next to another, which made people feel a little numb.
"Everyone is here?" Du Fu nodded in response to Du Lin's question. Du Lin frowned and shook his head, "Go find some mine workers and slaves and let them identify them."
According to Dulin's request, they arrested a few guys who looked like staff and two slaves, and asked them to identify the bodies of the mine protection team members and calculate whether any of them had slipped through the net. After several rounds of identification, it was discovered that three people were not among them. Just when Dulin was about to order the entire non-slave living area to be cleaned up again, Ellis appeared with the three people who had slipped through the net.
"Boss!" Ellis walked towards Dulin with a smile. The three mine protection team members behind him had disarmed and were kneeling on the ground with their hands on their ears.
These three people also thought about fighting at first, but the frequency of firefights that suddenly began to slow down gave them a feeling that something was wrong. They are very aware of the mine's habits. If the invaders are repelled, Andorra will definitely call all the slaves through the loudspeaker, and brutally kill some of the intruders who are not dead in front of the slaves. To intimidate those slaves. If these things didn't happen, then there was only one possibility - the mine protection team failed.
At this time, their only idea was not to avenge Andorra or other colleagues. They were all gold diggers before, and later gave up their dangerous life to join the mine protection team. There was no issue of loyalty at all, they were just working for money. There is no need to eat with Andorra. So they released Ellis and others, turned in their weapons and surrendered completely. Even a smart person can guess why these invaders are coming, so surrender is the only possible way to save one's life.
Dulin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ellis appear intact. He stepped forward and took a closer look, and asked Ellis to turn around, "They didn't do anything to you, right? Did you promise them anything?" ?" This sentence has two directions. The latter sentence talks about the three people who surrendered.
Ellis thought for a moment before reacting, "Of course not!"
Dufo didn't wait for Dulin's order, stepped forward and pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand, and the three guys fell to the ground.
"Seven of our brothers died this time. The joy of victory cannot wash away the pain caused by losing these brothers. I brought them out, but I couldn't bring them back alive. This is my dereliction of duty!" , Dulin flicked the ashes of his cigarette and took a deep breath. The cold wind in winter made him look a little lonely, "The names of the sacrificed brothers will be engraved on the memorial tablets in all churches and will be enshrined by us forever. Their families will There is a pension of 30,000 yuan, and another 200 yuan in compensation every month to support life!”
"The promise I made will also be valid. Their parents will be my parents from today on, and their brothers and sisters will be my brothers and sisters of Du Lin. No matter what..." Du Lin slammed the cigarette butt on the ground. , the sputtering sparks were extinguished the moment they lit up at his feet, "Anything is just a phone call away and I will do it for them. This is my promise to them and my promise to everyone!"
Although the Guarts from other places were excited, they did not show anything, but the local Guarts all looked a little shocked.
According to the current compensation stipulated by the imperial law, the maximum compensation amount for death is 8,000 yuan. However, in fact, many times when workers die for whatever reason, they can only receive a compensation of 4,500 to 5,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan at most. This still requires a lawsuit. If it is resolved privately without going through judicial proceedings, it may only cost two to three thousand yuan, or even less. Dulin immediately took out 30,000 yuan and gave each family a monthly compensation of 200 yuan to maintain their lives. He even promised to take care of the affairs of the families of the victims, which made many locals in the west breathe quickly. stand up.
In this land, they are used to fighting and death, fighting and failure, and human life is inherently worthless.
Du Lin's words made them completely understand why someone would be willing to die for Du Lin, without even regretting it at all, and being afraid!
Some people even feel for a moment that even if they die now, it is worth it. At least their family members can live a good life. Those younger brothers and sisters can finally fill their bellies and wear warm clothes without being humiliated. Have a full meal.
"Let's go and meet the person who caused all this!" Dulin strode forward and walked outside the villa in Andorra under the leadership of his employees.
He looked at the villa illuminated by searchlights, stood outside the door for a while, and then asked someone to bring him a loudspeaker.
"Mr. Andor, I'm here as promised, why don't you come out and see me?"
