Chapter 174 - Chapter 174 - 174: Integration Superposition (2/2)

Just then, a sudden, violent explosion erupted from outside the door, followed by a chorus of agonizing screams.

Chen Yu’s eyes snapped open, and he hurriedly rushed out.

He saw several miners sprawled across the ground, already breathless, and nearby stood a man holding high explosives.

This person also appeared to be a miner, only he had an ID badge from Bel’s men dangling at his waist.

“Why didn’t you give me the money you promised me? Give me the money quickly, or else I’ll blow up this place.”

Chen Yu frowned, feeling that Bel wasn’t someone who kept his word.

“You bastard, what are you doing? Get down from there now!”

Bel, weapon in hand, hurried out.

If this place were to explode, the consequences would be unthinkable, and he couldn’t let anyone behave recklessly here.

However, seeing Bel emerge, the man became even more brazen, igniting a stick of high explosive and throwing it over.

Bel swiftly picked up a metal net from the side and smashed it over, forcing the explosive into the corner of the wall.

A loud explosion ensued, and the several-meter-thick concrete wall was blasted open with a gaping hole.

Bel didn’t give the man another chance to throw explosives; he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The subordinates also swarmed in, decisively ending the man’s life.

Chen Yu wasn’t interested in their internal conflicts; his gaze fixated on the hole blasted into the concrete wall.

Logically speaking, all the buildings here were mostly constructed of reinforced concrete, their toughness self-evident.

But the fact that a hole so large could be made by explosives at this spot suggested that the material here was relatively soft, or the structure rather weak.

If they could use this spot as a breakthrough, perhaps they could create a tunnel.

Bel also glanced at the hole but didn’t pay it much mind since the mining operation was nearing its end, and they would be able to evacuate in three days.

There was no need to call people over to repair the breach in the wall for such a small hole.

“Notify everyone to increase the workload; we must mine out all the ore inside in the shortest time possible.”

After receiving orders, the subordinates acted immediately, rounding up the miners who had just come off their shift to rest and driving them back into the mine.

These were mostly patients that Chen Yu had just healed, still in a weak state, and putting them to work on heavy tasks now was akin to sending them to their deaths.

Suddenly, there was significant unrest among the workers, but Bel’s men quickly suppressed it with violence.

Chen Yu simply watched everything silently, without saying much.

Just as he was about to return to his room, Bel suddenly approached him.

“Mr. Chen, you seem worried. What are you concerned about?”

Chen Yu stared in the direction of the mine: “The radiation over there is too strong, and the workers have no protective suits. Even if I’ve cured their illnesses, their bodies will still be weak to varying extents, and they might even drop dead!”

Bel chuckled, “Of course, I’m aware, but the protective suits that can shield against radiation are extremely difficult to manufacture, and the materials for making them are strictly controlled by major organizations around the world. It’s impossible for me to procure tens of thousands of these suits just for the workers.”

Chen Yu frowned, feeling the weight of over ten thousand lives on his shoulders. Despite having the system, he was after all an ordinary person and couldn’t remain unmoved.

Moreover, he had earned more than twenty million points treating these people’s illnesses; if he could save them, perhaps he could accumulate even more points.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Chen? Are you feeling sympathy for these workers?”
