Cosma Empire

The footsteps in the corridor outside the door made Andor even more frightened. He suddenly raised the shotgun in his hand and shot at the door as if he was nervous. His son's exclamation came from outside the door, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also shocked him.

"It's me, father, it's me, can I come in now?" The eldest son looked back with fear at a painting that was destroyed on the corridor wall. Several sharp fragments tore the picture frame, and the shock made the painting A painting worth several thousand yuan became a piece of waste.

There are two types of shotgun bullets, one is general-purpose ammunition, which is currently the most mainstream bullet, and most firearms, including standard and non-standard, use such general-purpose ammunition. There is also a split bomb, which needs to be equipped with a muzzle splitter at the muzzle. The special bullet will produce a slight vibration when passing through the splitter. This vibration is very small, but it is enough to split the bullet into six pieces and shoot it out. This kind of split bomb is mainly used for hunting and killing large animals, as well as destructive killing at close range.

The range of the split bomb is not far, only 20 meters, but it is enough for use.

Andor didn't make a sound, he was listening carefully to the voice outside the door, and after about ten seconds, he asked, "Are you alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone, what should we do now?" The eldest son kept looking out of the window at the end of the corridor, the dense gunshots in his ears had subsided a lot, and even appeared for a few seconds pause.

If the intruders hadn't been repelled, then there was only one other possibility, the one he didn't want to see - the mine guard team lost, and they were almost wiped out.

When the entire camp was first 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 of ​​the employees and the ore sorting area, and the living area where the villa was located. Among the three living areas, apart from the slave living area surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, the other two areas only have low fences half the height of a person. If the mine guards were defeated, it meant that the intruders would be outside the villa within a few minutes.

There is no such thing as an underground passage in the villa. When it was first built, it was never considered that it would be threatened. There are more than 200 mine guards in the entire mining area, which is enough to suppress any behavior of the slaves. In addition, there is a high wall around the camp, which is enough to make Andorra very assured of his 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 up, making sure his father could see him, before he walked inside.

"Close the door!" Andor moved the muzzle of the gun, and 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 case. "Come on, give me a hand, push the cabinet over, and the sofa..."

The two pushed almost all the movable objects in the room to the door, and blocked the door tightly. They all still had hope in their hearts. If the intruders couldn't get in, maybe someone would notice the abnormality here and call the police by dawn, then they would be saved.

The daily food and drink expenses of so many people in the camp are a very large number, and the camp itself does not operate farming and animal husbandry, so people will deliver food every day. Every day at five o'clock in the morning, two horse-drawn carriages would bring over the whole day's stuff from the camp. If they found out that something was wrong, maybe the father and son could be rescued... I hope so!

"Can you use a gun?" Andor stuffed a shotgun into the hands of the eldest son, and gave him a box of ammunition, all of which were split ammunition.

The eldest son nodded. He had hunted with Andorra twice. Compared with Andorra's enthusiasm for hunting, the eldest son preferred more civilized things. But now the situation is special, he inserted the feeder into the shotgun according to the action he remembered,

And opened the insurance, the father and son looked at each other, sat in the corner of the room, quietly staring in the direction of the door.

There were fewer and fewer gunshots outside the house, and the intermittent gunfire seemed to stop anytime and anywhere. After an unknown period of time, the night returned to tranquility, and there were no more gunshots, as if the excitement before was a false illusion.

"Are there any casualties?" Du Lin walked in through the gate with a cigarette in his mouth. He saw the bandages around Duffer's arms and asked.

Dufo nodded, "Seven people were killed... and more than 30 people were injured. We are not familiar with the terrain here, and they shot down seven of them with black guns."

It is normal to have casualties in such a battle. Even Kina, who is in charge of covering the sniper outside, dare not say that he can take care of all the places. In addition, there are some ore piled up in many places, and the ricochets are also caused part of the casualties.

Du Lin nodded solemnly, and walked to the open space behind the main entrance. The open space was full of corpses, one next to the other, which made one's scalp tingle.

"Is everyone here?" Dufo responded to Du Lin's question with a nod, and Du Lin frowned and shook his head, "Go find a few workers and slaves from the mine and let them identify them."

According to Du Lin's request, they captured a few guys who looked like staff members and two slaves, and asked them to identify the bodies of these mine guards and calculate whether any of them slipped through the net. After several rounds of identification, it was found that there were three other people who were not among them. Just when Du Lin was about to order the entire non-slave living area to be cleaned up again, Ellis appeared with the three people who slipped through the net.

"Boss!" Ellis walked towards Du Lin with a smile. The three mine guards behind him had already disarmed and knelt on the ground with their hands pinching their ears.

The three of them also wanted to fight at first, but the frequency of firefights that suddenly slowed down made them feel that something was wrong. They are well aware of the habits of the mine. If the intruders are repelled, Andorra will definitely wake up all the slaves through the loudspeaker, and brutally kill some of the intruders who are not dead in front of the slaves. To deter those slaves. If none of these things happened, then there might be only one—the mine guard team lost.

At this time, their only thought was not to avenge Andorra or other colleagues. They used to be gold diggers, but later they gave up their dangerous life and joined the mine protection team. There was no loyalty problem at all, they were just working for money. To eat, there is no need to be buried with Andorra. So they released Ellis and others, and surrendered their weapons completely. Even an idiot can guess why these invaders have come, so surrender is the only possible way to save your own life.

Du Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ellis appearing intact. He stepped forward to take a closer look, and asked Ellis to turn around, "They didn't do anything to you, did they? Did you promise them anything?" ?”, this sentence has two points, and the latter sentence refers to the three people who surrendered.

Ellis thought a little before he realized, "Of course not!"

Without waiting for Du Lin's order, Duffer stepped forward and pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand, and the three guys fell to the ground in response.

"We lost seven brothers this time, and the joy of victory can't wash away the pain caused by the loss of these brothers. I brought them out, but I couldn't bring them back alive. This is my negligence!" , Du Lin flicked the cigarette ash, and took a deep breath. The cold winter wind made him look a little lonely, "The names of the brothers who died will be engraved on the monuments of heroes in all churches, and they will be enshrined by us forever. Their families will There is a pension of 30,000 yuan, and I will get another 200 yuan in compensation every month to maintain my life!"

"My previous promise will also be effective. Their parents will be my parents from today onwards. Their brothers and sisters will be my brothers and sisters of Du Lin. Anything..." Du Lin slammed the cigarette butt on the ground. On the ground, the sputtering sparks lit up under his feet and then went out, "I will do it for them with just a phone call. This is my promise to them, and it is also my promise to everyone!"

Although those Guarts from other places were excited, they didn't show much, while the local Guarts seemed a little shocked one by one.

According to the compensation stipulated by the current imperial law, the maximum amount of compensation for death is 8,000 yuan, but in fact, many times when those workers die for whatever reason, they can get at most 4,000, 5,000 to 5,000 yuan in compensation. This is still a case of litigation. If it does not go through the judiciary, it may be only two or three thousand yuan, or even less, if it is purely privately resolved. Du Lin took out 30,000 yuan at once and gave each family 200 yuan in compensation every month 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 breathless. stand up.

In this land, they are used to fighting and death, struggle and failure, and human life is worthless.

Du Lin's words made them completely understand why some people are willing to die for Du Lin, and they don't even regret it at all, they are afraid!

Some people even feel for a moment that even if they die now, it is worth it. At least the family can live a good life. Those younger brothers and sisters can finally fill their stomachs and wear warm clothes. They don’t need to be humiliated to change. Come and have a full meal.

"Let's go, let's meet the man who made all of this!" Du Lin strode forward, led by the staff, to the outside of the villa in Andorra.

He looked at the floodlit villa, stood outside the door for a moment, and then had a loudspeaker brought for him.

"Mr. Andor, I'm here as promised, won't you come out and meet me?"
