Chapter 165 – Blowing up the mine for the second time! (1/2)

In the mountains.

Dong Xuebing was still thinking about his money when Qu Yunxuan pulled him to a small slope and sat down.

“Xiao Bing, you are here at the right time. I want to discuss something with you.” Qu Yunxuan’s beige pants were already dirtied. She does not care about the dirt on the slope. “That Old Ye who rented the mine to us had approached me a few days ago. He wants to take back the mine and break the contract. He will compensate us.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Fat hopes.”

Qu Yunxuan touched Dong Xuebing’s arm and replied. “You are right. I did not agree. Everyone can tell that this mine is located in a good location. Under normal circumstances, a mine that can produce a few million worths of stones in a year is great. We made a few million in less than 2 months. This is what I want to discuss with you. The production of this mine is very high. Should we use our money to lease a few more months? I know Old Ye will never agree. But I am thinking of spending more money to continue to lease it.”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose and thought for a while. “What if there are no more bloodstones in the mine?”

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “This should not be possible. Some professionals had dropped by our mine and said that our mine is located very near to the main vein. Our mine might be extending towards the main vein.”

“But……” Dong Xuebing had discovered the bloodstones by accident. Now, Qu Yunxuan had already extracted most of the stones he found. He is not sure if there are any more stones deeper in the mine. He only believes his own eyes and not those experts. The expert’s opinions are based on theories.

“Why? You don’t agree?”

“No…… But I am not very sure.”

“Oh, don’t you know how to look at mines? How about you go in to see for yourself?”

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and nodded. “Alright.” Dong Xuebing had accumulated about 20 BACKs. He should have enough time to blow up the mine.

After chatting for a while, Qu Yunxuan stood up. “Ok. You go and check out the mine while I go to the bathroom.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “What bathroom? You are just going behind the bushes to pee. Ok. I will go with you.”

Qu Yunxuan turned around and gave him a stare. “There are toilets below. You don’t need to come with me.”

“Oh. Watch your steps and be careful. Don’t trip yourself.”

“Since when do I need you to remind me?”

Back at the mine, Dong Xuebing entered his own mine. He walked to the deepest part of the mine, and there were two workers drilling holes into the walls. The drills they were using were longer than regular drills.

Dong Xuebing saw one of the workers finishes drilling a hole, he said: “Please stop for a while.”

The two miners stopped the machine and look at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing said: “That should be enough. There is no need to drill anymore. Bring me to the place where you all store the explosives.”

A worker asked: “We are going to blast the mine now? We still have not completed drilling the holes. We need at least two more holes. If not, the bloodstones will be damaged by the blast.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I know. Just prepare to detonate.”

Both miners knew this young man and Ms. Qu were close, and this mine belongs to him. They thought for a while, and one of them remained there to set up the detonation wires, and the other miner brought Dong Xuebing to the place where they kept the explosives. Their explosives were kept in an abandoned mine not far away.

Dong Xuebing told the miner. “You don’t need to separate the dynamites. Just carry everything over.”

The miner was stunned. “…… those are not our explosives. They belong to other mines.”

Dong Xuebing smiled: “I know. Just listen to my orders, alright?”

“Ok.”

Dong Xuebing and that miner carried a big crate of explosive and purposely avoided the other people at the mining area to the mine. The other miner who was setting up the detonation was shocked to see the crate of explosives. He quickly tells Dong Xuebing that they do not need so many explosives, but Dong Xuebing did not explain. He put on a straight face and orders them to set up the explosives. After that, they walked out of the mine with the detonator.

“Boss, this is against the regulations.”

“That’s right. That number of explosives will blow everything up. Even if there are Chicken Bloodstones inside……”

Dong Xuebing ignored them and points to the detonator. “Is this the button?”

“Yes. But……”

Dong Xuebing took a few steps back and pressed the button.

Boom!!!! It was an earth-shattering blast! The whole ground shook! Clouds of dust were billowing out of the mine!

The workers nearby were shocked. This was not a normal explosion. Every one start running out to see what was happening. Was it a mine collapse?

“What is happening? What was that explosion?”

“Who is it? Did that person use too many explosives?”

Dong Xuebing ignored everyone. Every second count for him. He waited until the dust settles, and after making sure the mine will not collapse, he ran in with a touch light. The two miners also entered the mine, followed by workers from other mines. The sight they saw in the mine was horrific. Everyone was shocked by what they saw!

“Who used so many explosives? The amount used is ridiculous!”

“Let’s not talk about that first. Look at the walls!”

“Huh?! What happened? This is impossible!”

“This mine had produced so many bloodstones! Why…… Why is there no more bloodstones?”

Yes. The walls of the mines were all gray in color. It is full of wax stones, and the bits and pieces of stones on the ground do not have the slightest hint of red color! They walked around the mine and discovered a small portion of the mine’s wall had a small number of Chicken Bloodstones!

Wasn’t this supposed to be the main vein? No. It might also be the main vein. This had happened before in the past, where a section of the main vein does not have Chicken Bloodstones. But…… this section is too big. There was only a small amount of bloodstone near the eye of the explosion. Other areas are empty! This mine will become a depleted mine?!

Dong Xuebing also did not expect this to happen. He was glad that he did not ask Aunt Xuan to lease the mine further.

Ok! BACK!

Dong Xuebing estimate that 5 minutes had passed since the explosion. He was about to say BACK 5 times when he suddenly had remembered something. If he says BACK continuously, there will be a slight delay between the BACKs. It will be a waste, and he will also get dizzy. If it was 5 or 6 minutes, it was still okay. But if he wants to return back to 20 minutes or 30 minutes ago, he has to say BACK 20 to 30 times? The delay between the BACK will be more significant!

That’s right. Let me try and see if it will work!

Dong Xuebing focuses and mumbled in his heart: “BACK 5 minutes!”

……

Dong Xuebing felt the scene in front of him flashed! Time had returned!

What Dong Xuebing saw next was the detonator in his hand. He looked to his left and right. The two miners were trying to stop him.
