Chapter 95 Mining Area Conflict
Chapter 95 Mining Area Conflict
"Who are these people here?" Xing asked, puzzled.
Besides Natasha, there were many other idle people here.
Some of them were injured, some looked anxious, and some seemed restless.
“It seems there has just been a conflict,” Eve guessed.
“Yes.” Natasha nodded.
“These people are miners and their families. They’ve come to confront the thugs who started this trouble,” Natasha replied after glancing at them.
"A troublemaker?" March 7th asked in confusion.
"This area used to be a gathering place for homeless people. The entrance is now sealed off, probably to prevent retaliation from angry miners."
“The conflict resulted in many injuries, which is why I rushed here to help,” Natasha said worriedly.
"How did things get to this point?" Seele asked, puzzled.
Natasha shook her head. "It's said that the First Mining Team discovered a 'geological marrow' vein with astonishing reserves... Preliminary estimates suggest it's the largest mineral deposit discovered in the last thirty years."
Seele was incredulous: "Really? Such big news, how come I haven't heard a word about it?"
“They don’t want to make a fuss,” Natasha said helplessly.
"After all, most of the mining areas have been contaminated by the rift, and many people have lost their jobs. If this news gets out, miners will probably be fighting tooth and nail to get in."
"What about these homeless people?" Seele asked, puzzled.
"But the mining team couldn't hide it from the homeless people here. After all, they're not blind. So, some thugs and hooligans tried to make a quick buck by extorting hush money from the mining team... This crossed their line."
"I see." Seele nodded.
"By the way, Nata, do you have enough medicine at your clinic?" Seele asked hesitantly.
Underground, medicine is extremely precious.
If only I had dragged Sambo back earlier, I could have gotten some medicine from him.
“It wouldn’t have been enough, but thankfully, Miss Eve provided some support before.” Natasha turned her gaze to Eve.
"It's nothing, saving lives is the priority." Eve nodded slightly.
"Huh?" Seele was a little confused.
Did Eve's mother bring medicine with her when she came down?
"Oh, by the way, Miss Eve, we just happened to run into each other. I'm a little embarrassed, but I wanted to ask you for some fever reducer."
“These miners are all injured. Although they have received initial bandaging and anti-inflammatory treatment, they still have persistent high fevers…” Natasha recounted.
“I understand.” Eve nodded.
She reached out her hand, and the intelligence engine began to operate.
A short while later, a box of medicine labeled "Interstellar Peace Company Fever Reducer Type 8" appeared in Eve's hands.
“Here you go, freshly made. The dosage of the medicine should be enough for everyone here,” Eve said after looking around.
Don't underestimate this small box of medicine produced by Interstellar Peace Company; the dosage it contains is enough for a family to use for at least five years.
Therefore, it should be more than enough to treat the people here.
"Thank you so much, Miss Eve." Natasha gratefully accepted the medicine from Eve's hand.
She then immediately went to the wounded and began to treat them.
Apart from Natasha, everyone else present looked somewhat bewildered as they watched this scene.
March 7th: Huh? You never said anything about creating things out of thin air.
The people I picked up in the beginner village never said they were this strong.
"Mom, so you can create things out of thin air?" Bronya asked in astonishment.
Her gaze was somewhat intense.
Eve thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically speaking, yes."
"But the energy consumption is enormous, and a complete understanding of the material structure of the objects being created is required."
"Well, I see." Bronya nodded.
Indeed, everything comes at a price.
"I never expected that something like this would be discovered in the mining area," Seele murmured to herself.
Xing then asked in confusion, "The mineral vein didn't belong to the first discoverer."
Before Seele could speak, Natasha's voice came again.
"This is indeed the law of the underworld, but the vagrants shout their own rule: those who see it get a share."
She was holding a bandage in her hand, as if she had just finished bandaging a wounded person.
"Seeing is believing? Heh, it's just about wanting something for nothing." Seele shook her head.
Natasha said helplessly, "There was nothing we could do, and the result was a violent clash between the two groups, resulting in heavy losses."
"By the way, are you here to help resolve the conflicts in the mining area?"
Seele shook her head. "That wasn't our intention. We need something from Chief Oleg, that's why we came."
Natasha nodded. "I see. But Oleg must be swamped with work by now."
“Then let’s resolve this conflict first, and then we can ask Chief Oleg a proper question,” Bronya said earnestly.
"That's all we can do now," March 7 said helplessly.
"So, you could say it's an equivalent exchange," Xing said after thinking for a moment.
"Um...it sounds like we're really skilled." March 7th thought for a moment.
Natasha suddenly laughed, "Haha, I think you are all kind-hearted people."
"As you can see, the conditions underground are really... very difficult. If it's convenient, I hope you can help the people living underground."
Finally, Natasha turned her attention to Eve.
Perhaps, this person's words might really be able to change the situation underground...
"Don't worry, Doctor, we've got your back!" March 7th said, patting his chest.
"Hmm." Natasha nodded slightly. "Then I wish you all the best."
"Also, be very careful in the mining area."
“Understood, Nata.” Seele nodded. “I’ve been on missions into the mines before.”
Seele gave a brief reply and immediately led Eve and the others into the mining area.
The fire guards in the large mining area immediately let Seele pass when they saw that she was there.
"Oh right, I think I forgot to ask where the conflict took place?" March 7th suddenly remembered something.
"It seems so!" Seele realized as well.
"However, that newly discovered huge mineral vein... that should be the epicenter of the conflict, right?"
"Let's go up to a higher place and take a look."
Seele immediately climbed to a high point, where her view suddenly opened up.
"Found it!" Seele shouted immediately, as she spotted a huge yellow vein in the distance.
That must be the location of the conflict.
