Chapter 215 Prepare for the return journey
With the big explosion at the McCormack Mine, it seems that everything is over!
Sun Cheng touched his hair, and a small piece of hair that had just been trimmed not long ago seemed to be slightly curled under the scorching heat.
He was quite lucky. The few who were at the bottom, especially Chris, were now covered in high temperature scalding, and he probably would have to go to the hospital for a while.
The explosion caused a large area of collapse in the mine, and even the tunnels near the entrance also collapsed, blocking the holes entering the inside.
"It's okay, Bert!"
Sun Cheng walked over and looked at Burt. Burt's hat had been lost, some burnt marks appeared on his eyebrows and breathing, and there were also many burnt black stains on his face.
However, he was in good condition. Although he was gasping heavily, when Sun Cheng asked, he raised his head and smiled at him, and then shook his head: "I'm fine!"
"Those weapons are a pity!"
He licked his lips that were slightly dry after being scorched by the high temperature.
When I ran away just now, in order to run as fast as possible, almost everyone threw away all their weapons and equipment.
Many of the weapons used by the residents of the town were brought by Bert.
Although those weapons look inconspicuous, they are not semi-automatic weapons alone, and the price is more than a little more expensive than civilian firearms sold in firearm supermarkets.
Conservatively estimated, the value of the weapon Bert lost is probably no less than 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars.
Sun Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, someone will pay."
"Um?"
Burt looked at him in surprise, while Sun Cheng replied with a mysterious smile.
Many people were injured due to the explosion, and Chris was particularly serious.
The crowd did not stay in the collapsed mine for long, and soon returned to the town.
As soon as they arrived in the town, everyone noticed that there were a lot of giant spider corpses in the town.
A left-behind policeman explained: "After you detonated the bomb, a giant spider hit the manhole cover and rushed out of the sewer."
Fortunately, Sun Cheng asked the residents of the town to weld the manhole cover in advance, and only a few of them were knocked open.
Although there were many giant spiders who escaped, there were also many townspeople who stayed in the town, and they did not cause much damage.
After asking the left-behind police officer, when he got to the location of the mayor, Sun Cheng whispered a few words to Bert, and then walked towards the hypermarket.
In the hypermarket, almost all the elderly, weak, women and children in the town are here at this time.
The mayor is responsible for temporarily resettling them, and of course it is not ruled out to save their lives.
After all, the hypermarket is one of the few reinforced concrete structures in the town. The attacks of giant spiders last night also confirmed the sturdiness and safety here.
As soon as he saw Sun Cheng, Mayor Wade's eyes lit up.
"Sun, how is the mine?"
After the abandoned mine was detonated, the movement was heard clearly in this small town, which was not big.
Moreover, not long ago, there was still a turmoil caused by the welded manhole cover in the town being knocked open by a giant spider. Everything made the mayor of this wealthy and stingy town scare into a cold sweat.
Sun Cheng noticed that everyone around him looked at him, first nodded, and said a few simple words: "The problem should be almost solved on the mine. However, I encountered some new problems. Mr. Mayor, can you talk about it in another place?"
Although Mayor Wade is greedy and stingy, he is not a fool.
He saw a clue from Sun Cheng's performance, and his heart suddenly sank, "Don't discover the secret under the mine!"
Although he had an uneasy thought in his heart, Mayor Wade still held back and nodded to the management room in the store.
"Let's go over there and talk!"
"good!"
The two pushed the crowd away and entered the management room.
Mayor Wade locked the door casually. He was about to ask about the situation, but Sun Cheng generalized the army. "Tell me directly, my friend Bert found some suspicious things in the mine. He suspected that it was the cause of spiders in the town."
He deliberately paused, looked at Mayor Wade, whose face changed drastically, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, after changing the style, he changed his words and said, "However, Bert and I are not interested in what those things are, and we are not very curious about why giant spiders appear in Fanfeng Town! The premise is that the town needs to provide another compensation fee. Because of the mine collapse caused by the previous battle, Bert lost a large number of weapons obtained from other channels, worth no less than 200,000 meters!"
Mayor Wade's mood was like a roller coaster in less than a minute.
From low to high, from worry to fright, then to surprise, then to anger, reluctance, and finally to calm.
"Two hundred thousand meters?"
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the oily sweat from his forehead. "No problem, Mr. Bert also caused the losses for our prosperity town."
In order to escape from guilt, this guy finally gave up once.
But Mayor Wade is not a fool either. Otherwise, with his greedy personality, he would not have been elected as the mayor of Prosperous Town when most of the townsmen disliked.
"But Sun...I also need a guarantee..."
"Can!"
Sun Cheng agreed very decisively. Although he didn't know where the toxic materials were hidden in the mine, Mayor Wade also didn't know this.
"We need cash and promise you that as long as the money arrives, we will leave Fanrong Town as soon as tomorrow. However, you will need to solve the subsequent matters yourself."
Mayor Wade was delighted, but his brows soon frowned again, "Second?"
Sun Cheng nodded, "The mine was temporarily exploded and collapsed, but we cannot guarantee how many areas the mine collapsed. This time, at least one or two hundred residents were killed or injured in Fanrong Town. After investigation, there is also a risk of exposure. You need to solve these yourself!"
Mayor Wade's expression changed a bit gloomy, but he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"No problem, we will solve the subsequent matters in the town ourselves."
This is a very smart guy who never took the initiative to say a sensitive word from beginning to end.
Sun Cheng didn't care about this, so he had an agreement with Mayor Wade. After paying the remuneration and hush money before night, he quickly left the hypermarket.
After meeting Bert and the others again, Bert and the others were ready to organize a team again to check the detonated abandoned mines and other areas of the town, so as not to have other giant spiders in the town.
Sun Cheng also joined in. Everyone carefully patrolled around the town until they decided that no giant spider escaped and then returned to the town after nightfall.
Mayor Wade did not dare to come up with any tricks. He contacted Sun Cheng quietly at night and went to his house to get 450,000 meters of cash.
At this point, his trip to Prosperous Town came to an end.
