Chapter 40: An Attack Beyond the Time
What does a tropical rainforest look like?
The dense trees, the mosquito swarms like smog, the swamps that can swallow adults, and the swamps are full of crocodiles...
In the life simulation, this is what a rain forest looks like.
Looking up, a large area of lush trees blocked the light of the stars and the moon, making everything here even more quiet and mysterious.
Zhu Xianhai and his group landed on the shore about two kilometers away from the mine, and then plunged into the rainforest. Sun Hu, holding a rainforest knife, kept chopping the branches that blocked their progress.
Advanced in this quiet and uninhabited rainforest, they all held their guns carefully and looked around vigilantly, fearing an ambush.
How could there actually be an ambush?
The biggest enemy is the rainforest!
Although he had fought guerrilla warfare in the rainforest for several years and experienced the life of a guerrilla fighter in the life simulator, Zhu Xianhai still maintained a sense of awe towards the mysterious tropical rainforest. After all, the seemingly quiet and harmless rainforest could easily swallow all of them.
Fortunately, the gold mine soon appeared in their sight. Standing at the edge of the rainforest, looking at the gold mine in the darkness, the embellishment of a few lights made it look like a giant beast that devoured living things, lurking quietly in the darkness, ready to devour the living things in the world at any time.
Squatting on the edge of the rainforest, Zhu Xianhai vigilantly observed the surrounding situation, as if there was no need to be cautious at all.
There was no barking of wolfhounds, no patrolling guards, only dead silence.
On the left is the dock with a few lights on and you can vaguely see a steamship next to the dock. On the right, near the mine, there are a few buildings, which are the mine's office area.
Further ahead, the slave workers lived in the mining area.
"Follow the plan! Xiaowu and Dashan, follow me."
Without any hesitation, Zhu Xianhai led two people towards the office area.
The so-called office area, in addition to a two-story white building, has two rows of wooden houses on the left and right. If it weren't for the "spoiler" of the simulator, he would have no idea what's going on there.
The reason why the operation in the simulation failed was because rescuing the slaves was the primary goal.
But in fact, the more important position is here.
“Woof…Woof…”
When they approached the gold mine office area, the sudden barking of a dog made the three of them stop.
"Brother Zhu, look at me."
Xiaowu directly took out a piece of meat and threw it towards where the dog was tied.
As soon as the wolfhound tied to the iron chain smelled the aroma of meat, it no longer cared about its duties. While the dog was tearing at the piece of meat, the three of them quickly walked to the eaves opposite, and snoring sounds came from the house.
With the dim light, Zhu Xianhai and his friends could barely see what was going on inside the house.
There were several beds in a row inside, with seven or eight people sleeping on them. This was where the guards in the office area slept.
"Just a few guards!"
The gold mine is not a prison, and the guards are not soldiers. They are just a few ordinary people. How can they be alert in the middle of the night? Even before going to bed, they are all drunk.
I'm afraid they never dreamed that someone would come from outside and kill them with a knife, and come to their bedside.
Entering the room, the room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol and snoring. Tiptoeing to the bedside, Zhu Xianhai looked at the guard. The guard had curly hair and it was vaguely visible that he was of mixed race.
Most of these guards are of mixed race, some are black and white, and some are black and yellow. It is certain that they are all lackeys of the white mine owners.
These lackeys were snoring loudly and were sleeping soundly.
Standing in front of the shop, Zhu Xianhai hesitated for only a few seconds before placing a box of explosives into the house.
Dynamite!
As the inventor of "silica nitroglycerin explosives" of this era, Zhu Xianhai naturally chose explosives in order to avoid alerting the enemy.
Compared to using a knife or a gun, placing explosives is undoubtedly the easiest. Just enter the house, put the explosives in, and then install the electric detonator and connect the wires.
All that's left is to wait.
When doing great things, you cannot hesitate for even a second, otherwise you will suffer the consequences.
The results in the simulator told Zhu Xianhai what would happen if the enemy was alerted and someone escaped.
It’s a dead end!
The problem must be solved fundamentally!
In the room filled with loud snoring, no one noticed that someone had put the explosives in. In fact, even if they woke up, they would not notice the extra box at the head of the bed and the telegraph wire on the ground that was thinner than a chopstick.
There were no dedicated electrical wires in this era, so telegraph lines were the only choice . Although they were a bit thicker, they could still be used.
One room after another. For veterans like Xiaowu and Dashan, the work was easier and more skillful.
But it only took a short while, and all twelve rooms were equipped with explosives, no more, no less, just two kilograms per room.
…
While they were working in the office area, over at the dock, Sun Hu led a few brothers to install dozens of kilograms of explosives directly around the houses. There were not many houses here, only five or six connected together. Not to mention wooden houses like this, even brick houses could be blown up to the sky with 20 kilograms of explosives.
While they were installing explosives, Sun Hu swam to the side of the steamship and sneaked onto the ship without anyone noticing. Holding a sharp knife, he searched the ship. He wanted to make sure if there was anything on the ship!
There's no one on board!
After confirming that there was no one on the boat, Sun Hu signaled to his accompanying brothers, and they retreated into the jungle again. They crouched in the jungle, waiting. Of course, Sun Hu was holding a box in his hand, which contained a battery-filled detonator.
Sun Hu didn't know what a battery was, but when they were on the boat, Brother Zhu demonstrated to them that the bomb would explode if they turned the handle.
"Brother Hu, how long do we have to wait?"
"Wait a little longer, wait until half past three, and then we'll start together on time!"
What is a risky move in war?
In fact, there was nothing dangerous. Everyone just acted at the same time - at 3:30, they turned the wrenches at the same time, and then... according to the boss, with a "bang", they were sent to see the King of Hell.
There's not even any blood on your hands.
Of course, this is if everything goes well.
"Half an hour left."
Just as Sun Hu was muttering this in his mind, suddenly, a violent explosion was heard in the distance, and the light of the explosion illuminated half the sky.
It’s Brother Zhu’s side!
They started the fight first, there must have been an accident!
"There's movement in the house!"
Hearing the noise in the house, Sun Hu immediately turned the wrench...
