District 9

These officers did not save people because of two considerations: First, engineers have said that there are many sand structures in the tunnel below and the wall bearing capacity is very weak. If they rush to clean up the collapse area, it is most likely that the people below will save them. If you don't come out, you have to get some rescuers in. Second, the engineering area is clearly divided into small management areas. In the management area, no matter what happens to the workers, the upper management will directly contact the guarding officer. For any mining accidents, riots, or collective incidents, the upper management will be punished and directly responsible. human.

This management style directly leads to the guarding officers being afraid of taking responsibility. You recruit a few people to rescue, and if it fails, you recruit a few more people, and you will be responsible for your misjudgment. And if the people below are rescued, they will definitely need to recuperate, rest, or even become disabled. How will you deal with it later? If other workers are asked to help take care of it, wouldn’t that reduce the labor force within the group? There are fewer people and the project is delayed, but we still have to be held accountable.

The reasons mentioned above are all deep concerns among officers and soldiers. But all in all, these managers still don’t treat workers as human beings. Their rationality is terrible, and therefore they have no reflection of humanity.

However, when this group of soldiers suppressed the workers, they did not expect that the other party's reaction would be extremely violent this time.

A dozen workers didn't have guns in their hands, but they got into a confrontation with seven or eight soldiers.

"Save people, why not save people?!"

"Damn it, are you all jumping out of the cracks in the rocks? Are you inhumane? The people below are still shouting!"

"...Save people!"

Many workers were excited, but there were also people like Meng Xi who squatted obediently next to the wall and did not move. Some of these people are simply afraid of death, while others are worried and don't want to cause trouble. Meng Xi, for example, is very calm. He knows that he is here with a mission and cannot do anything blindly. Otherwise, if he makes trouble in advance, it will be difficult to escape.

The workers were questioning and shouting. The leading officer became anxious and shouted at a worker with a gun: "I say it for the last time, get back and squat down!"

"Hooraa!"

At this moment, another twenty workers came from the adjacent passage. They forcibly broke through the position guarded by three soldiers, carried various work tools, and surrounded them aggressively.

"Why don't you save people?!"

"What's the meaning?!"

"What the fuck, you can use us as livestock, but at least you have to let us save our lives!" The worker who came over yelled with red eyes: "If you do this, everyone will die. I won't do it. Got it!"

"Quit!"

Mine disasters have occurred before and workers have died, but they have never caused such a large-scale response as this one, so the soldiers were a little surprised. In their impression, most Chinese workers are generally more timid and relatively easy to manage.

"Everyone, calm down. If we have any demands, please speak up and don't make trouble." At this moment, Lao Qiao, who had been very excited before, stood up, waved his hands and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet."

"Be quiet and save people, otherwise we will go on strike!"

"Help!"

"...!"

The workers just pulled their necks and roared as they had agreed.

"Sir, sir, they are a little excited. Please let me persuade them. I can control them." Lao Qiao said to the leading officer.

The leading officer also got angry. He directly picked up the special frequency, which is only used in the mining area, and shouted quickly: "There are workers making trouble at the collapsed construction site. The command room in District 2 will provide support immediately!"

"Sir, don't, don't, they are just agitated. Let me give them some advice." Old Qiao stepped forward and said.

"Go and squat down on the wall." The leading officer pointed at Lao Qiao and yelled.

"Help, help!"

The workers shouted and stepped forward. The seven or eight officers and soldiers who were originally present, as well as the three people who ran over later, were now standing still with guns in hand, but they were surrounded.

"Fuck, you're the loudest, right?"

When the leading officer saw that he could not suppress the situation, he directly hit the worker with the loudest shout with the handle of his gun: "Hit me, I will take care of him if anything happens."

"Kang!"

One soldier fired a warning shot, and others rushed forward to attack the workers.

At this moment, Meng Xi squatted under the wall and noticed that the middle-aged man who had just pulled out the steel drill from the construction site sneaked up behind the leading officer.

"It's over." Meng Xi whispered.

"Everyone on the left and right is dead, you are pretending to be your mother-in-law with me!" the middle-aged man roared angrily, holding a steel drill used for cutting stone walls in both hands, and pierced the back of the leading officer's neck directly.

"Pfft!"

The sharp steel drill instantly penetrated the leading officer's neck, causing scarlet blood to rise half a meter high. The scene was quite bloody.

"Fuck him!"

"Fight!"

"...!"

Angry roars rang out among the workers. More than 30 people, clinging to more than a dozen soldiers, reached out to grab their guns and started fighting with each other.

"Don't fight, don't fight."

Lao Qiao was still shouting loudly: "Everyone, calm down."

During the conflict, the leading officer was unexpectedly attacked and killed. This was a serious matter.

The officers and soldiers present felt a little regretful, regretting that their attitude was too tough just now and caused a group incident.

But human nature is like this. The workers' previous cowardice and daring not to resist have been deeply ingrained in the minds of managers. They also instinctively believe that these people are persimmons. When faced with a gun, they will not be able to resist. OK.

As soon as the conflict broke out, gunfire rang out.

Several workers were killed and injured when they fought back and beat each other, and the officers did not feel better either. Because they are too close to the workers, the long gun can only play a limited role at this time. If you shoot one person, the other person can reach out and grab it. If the two sides start fighting, the gun will no longer have an absolute advantage.

"Dip Lingling!"

The alarm bell rang in the corridor, followed by someone shouting in Korean through the loudspeaker, which roughly meant to immediately support the collapsed area.

At the same time, the surrounding workers who heard the commotion all started shouting, resisting, and attacking the perimeter guarded by the community management teams.

Inside the tunnel.

While everyone was fighting, Meng Xi remained motionless, only observing the riot area calmly.

In the crowd, Lao Qiao was still pulling the soldiers and workers, shouting loudly, urging everyone to stop.

"Tap tap tap!"

Less than two minutes after the conflict broke out, a deafening sound suddenly came from the corridor, and a large number of soldiers rushed over.

At this moment, Meng Xi suddenly noticed that when Lao Qiao pushed a sergeant away, he hooked a long gun with his foot and kicked it back.

Immediately afterwards, a worker who was hiding in the blind corner of the surveillance camera quickly took a gun, turned around and fled into the construction site.

"Bang!"

At the same time, the two men took advantage of the chaos and kicked the body of the leading officer whose throat was pierced by a steel drill into the collapse site, and fell down the gap to the next tunnel.

"To grab a gun?"

Meng Xi stared at Lao Qiao in surprise.

"Uh-huh!"

Lao Qiao pushed an officer away, and when he turned around, he happened to see Meng Xi. The two sides looked at each other, and Lao Qiao's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.
