After the contract to change the title of the book was delivered by courier, I realized that I had forgotten to sign it. "I almost became crazy. I asked for comfort, subscription, monthly pass, reward, and extermination."

Li Yan did not find these people. One reason was that these people had no intention of killing and they were ordinary people. The other reason was that he did not expect that there would be people here and they were hiding in the trees, and the trees where they were hiding were either near or far away.

They all choose very lush ones. If you don’t go under the tree and look up, you will basically be blocked.

Precisely because he didn't find these people and didn't know their origins, he pretended to be unconscious and lay in the deep ditch. When the people above opened the lawn cover on the trap, he listened to all the words of the people above.

in the ears.

It's just these nonsense words that made Li Yan very puzzled. Who are these people? It sounds like they just want to rob some clothes? It seems that they have some reason. All of this

what's up!

But now is not the time to think about this. When I heard someone suggesting to that old Kang to use a camera or mobile phone, two people had already left footing holes along the two walls. From their conversation just now,

It was not difficult for Li Yan to tell that these were a group of extremely sexually repressed men. Even if Lao Kang was more sensible and would not do anything extreme, it was inevitable for them to touch and molest the girls' bodies.

And the two who attack first will definitely strike first.

These are all colleagues of the company! Jiang Lele can be regarded as an acquaintance and friend. How could Li Yan just let him go if he met her? As for their purpose, their origins, etc., let's be direct!

"Hehe, hehe," I'll warm my hands first and check which one has a better figure!" The two people were almost at the bottom, and one of them laughed softly.

"Serious! When you are doing your business, don't think about messy things!" Another said with disdain.

The person who spoke first laughed sarcastically, feeling embarrassed, but soon heard the other person who said uprightly: "You'd better wait for me to test and see if their heartbeats are normal."

"I, you are so hypocritical! I almost got fooled by you."

While talking, the two people settled in the gap between the bodies of the crowd below, and then they both reached out anxiously to touch the chests of the unconscious people. But at this height, there was no need to tie ropes or anything, just the two of them holding them down below.

People lift them up, and then the person above them lies on the ground and reaches out to pull them up. Since they want to lift them up, they must first be picked up. If they are picked up, it is normal to touch and touch them.

Just as the two people stretched out their dark and dirty hands with extreme excitement and excitement, preparing to invade the coma, they suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of their necks. Before they could realize what was going on, they both collapsed.

Go down!

"Quick! Don't just take advantage of me. When you come up,

The people above who were lying on the ground and reaching out to help them were greedy and helpless. They could not stop the behavior of the two of them. They could only urge them to get them up quickly so that they would lose a few hands after they were pulled up. However,

Before he could say anything, he saw an unconscious person getting up. Before he could see clearly what was going on, his two companions had already been knocked unconscious.

"Lao Kang, Lao Kang,"

Two of them were already lying on the ground anxiously waiting for help. Seeing this scene, one was speechless, and the other one only came and called twice, "Lao Kang." And that Lao Kang listened to the other person's suggestion.

, was thinking about its feasibility, heard the exclamation, and hurriedly poked his head over.

"What's going on?"

He already had the answer without even saying anything. There was someone climbing up from below using only a few moves on his hands and feet. Of course, he couldn't be their partner.

"You, you, what do you want to do?" The two people lying on the ground waiting for help couldn't react at all. One of them had already been stepped on by Li Yan on the back, and the other had no time to get up and could only stand aside.

, while stuttering and rolling to the side.

After Li Yan came up, he saw the situation clearly. Except for the two who were knocked unconscious below and lying on the ground, there were two others standing. There were six people in total. It seemed that they were all hiding in the surrounding trees.

Yes, he didn't notice any of them just now, which made him feel ashamed. His alertness was still declining.

"Who are you?" He wanted to come up and knock them down one by one, but when he saw the appearance of those people, he felt that there was no need to take action because they really didn't look like bad people. More like,

, savage!

In fact, it is inappropriate to describe them as savages, because they all speak a certain dialect. It is definitely not the dialect here. And they also wear clothes, but the clothes on their bodies are very thin and shabby.

The body was dirty and looked like a homeless man.

On Xiaoyao Island, of course, it is impossible for some homeless people to run out for no reason, and they are also people who can climb trees and dig traps. When Li Yan asked, the two who were stepped on by him and rolled away,

They all got up and stood together with Lao Kang and the others.

"I'm sorry," we didn't mean to hurt anyone, "we just want some clothes to keep out the cold!" It was probably Lao Kang who said this, but he no longer spoke in dialect, but in Mandarin.

The other three people were all staring at Li Yan. They seemed to want to knock him down, but they were still afraid that he could knock them down silently and come up faster than the two of them went down.

"Really? But why do you think your behavior makes me feel like you are trying to make money or kill yourself?" Li Yan, a female tourist, sneered. "Believe it or not, my phone call came out, and the resort will pull a few cars soon."

The security guards will come and carry you back."

When they heard Li Yan's words, they all felt guilty. The one who had just rolled away now wanted to run away again and ran away.

Li Yan ignored the three of them. The results of his observations made him understand that among the four people, only Lao Kang was the more sensible and insightful person. He was also the only one who could solve the problem through communication.

"If you know how to call for help, Lao Kang, who had just called him, was also staring closely at Li Yan. He was not as panicked as Nian, but analyzed: "When you found out that they were missing, you didn't call for help immediately; ask

After the network fell, I didn’t call for help. So, you don’t know how to call now. You probably just want to know what happened.”

"You are wrong! I didn't call for help because I was sure I could catch you all by myself!" Li Yan chuckled.

The three people looked at each other and then at Lao Kang who was bargaining.

"I believe you!" Lao Kang raised his hands!

His action caused an accident to Li Yan and an accident to the three people. In their opinion, there were still four of them. Even if Li Yan was good at it, he could still fight.

"I just want to tell you that we have no ill intentions!" Lao Kang said seriously: "I believe you heard what we said just now. Now you have seen what kind of people we are. Do you think this is a group of extremely vicious people?

?If we weren’t desperate, would this be the case?”

"Then you should answer me honestly, who are you?"

Lao Kang felt reassured by Li Yan's attitude of not trusting him very much but relaxing his tone. "Lao Kang" and the other three people looked at him. They felt that they were not strong enough to surrender or trust the stranger in front of them.

Lao Kang figured it out. Since Li Yan encountered an unexpected situation before and did not panic and called for help, he already felt that he was a very calm person. He didn't faint even if he fell like that, and he could still pretend to be faint and eavesdrop.

With their words, they can easily knock out two people and come up quickly, which shows that this person is not only rational, but also capable. What's even more rare is that he is willing to listen to their appeals!

He waved his hand and stopped the three of them, wanting to seize this opportunity. Someone just suggested making good use of mobile phones and cameras, making phone calls, or shooting a video on the mobile phone to spread the news. He was already moved.

Now, if this person can listen to them, know what is going on, and be willing to help, it should be more effective.

"I can tell you truthfully, please calm down and listen to my explanation. I will keep it short.

Li Yan had determined that they were just ordinary people, and it was not like he was specifically targeting them. They were probably just people who wanted to wear clothes to keep out the cold. Seeing that he was willing, he listened.

According to Lao Kang, they are all workers on the island!

They have been working on the island for several years, but they are not engaged in various construction projects. They are miners!

Many years ago, after the development plan for this desert island came out, because of the government's investment and support, the developers involved in all aspects were very interested in doing this well. For example, the investment was huge in the short term, and it was difficult to recover the cost in the medium term.

, but it will definitely get bigger and bigger in the long run. Because transportation is inconvenient, all materials need to be transported from land by ship, and the transportation cost is much greater than land development. Therefore, even if the government means not to destroy the island’s natural resources,

However, the developers still mobilized corresponding workers, which were available on the island, and tried to use local materials as much as possible.

There may not be other things, but the construction process requires the use of stone, wood and sand, which are relatively abundant. The more workers there are to mine, the greater the damage to the environment. Because no one lived before, the stone,

Wood, etc. are all in sufficient supply, but wild animals are poached by all parties. Over the past few years, their numbers have plummeted.

And these are not important, the important thing is that one day the workers who mined the stone discovered the ore. After reporting this situation step by step, the developer took it very seriously and immediately invited experts in geology and minerals for on-site identification. It turned out that this was not known.

Xiaoyao Island in the rare earth distribution area is actually rich in a large amount of rare earth minerals! At present, thousands of mineral deposits, minerals and mineralized areas have been discovered in more than two-thirds of the country's provinces. However, they are concentrated in Bayan Obo, Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi and Gannan

, northern Guangdong, Liangshan in Sichuan and Weishan in Shandong, etc., form a distribution pattern of north, south, west and east, and have a distribution pattern of light in the north and heavy in the south.

Rare earth elements are a series of elements in the periodic table of chemical elements, and there are 7 elements closely related to them, such as Hang and Ra. They are referred to as rare earths. Rare earth elements began to be discovered in the late 19th century. At that time, people often oxidized solids that were insoluble in water. The substance is called soil. Earth is usually separated in the oxide state and is very rare, so it is called rare earth. It is still used today.

Rare earths are key materials for many major weapon systems. They have excellent optical, electromagnetic and other physical properties and can be combined with other materials to form a wide variety of new materials with different properties. Their most significant function is to greatly improve the quality and performance of other products. .It is also a lubricant for many high-tech industries such as electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductivity, etc. In a certain sense, the advanced weapons of the United States also include their superiority in the field of rare earth technology.

In addition to being essential raw materials in the military and cutting-edge high-tech fields, rare earths play many irreplaceable roles in the metallurgical industry, petrochemical industry, glass ceramics, new materials, and even agriculture.

At present, the main user of rare earths in the world is Japan, but it is also exported to China! As China’s most abundant strategic resource, bulk exports? Nian Zuishang once said meaningfully: "The Middle East has oil, and we have rare earths." However, , before and after this, rare earths in China were treated as ordinary commodities in exchange for foreign exchange and exported at cabbage prices!

Our reserves, production, exports, etc. are all "proud" to be number one in the world. In the years when production technology was not good enough, we ranked number one in output every year, causing excessive pollution in the production areas. The consequence of being number one in exports is that Japan, which has scarce resources, South Korea bought a lot of it, and the United States, which has the second largest reserves in the world, sealed it up and did not mine it, but imported a large amount from China. Over the past few decades, it has the largest reserves, but a large part of it has actually been leaked out!

The current situation is caused not only by the central government’s long-term lack of attention and the feeling that waste is nothing because of a big business, but also by the short-sighted behavior of local governments and businessmen for short-term interests.

It's a pity. After the rare earth mine was discovered on Xiaoyao Island, the developers saw not the national strategic resources, but immediate interests! Therefore, they did not report it to the government and hid it. At the same time, they hired professional miners in the name of mining stone ores. Mining.

"Rare earths? There are rare earths here? How many years have you been working?"

Li Yan suddenly felt a conspiracy theory. The reason why Xiaoyao Island has been developed for so many years has not been widely publicized to the outside world. Until now it was officially launched, and no publicity or advertising was done. Could it be that the root cause is here? They have A larger and more direct source of profit. Before the rare earths are hollowed out, there is no rush for the long-term benefits of tourism!

"Well, we have been working for several years. They have two strategies for us. One is good treatment, much higher than our income in other mines; the other is strict control, no telephone, no mobile phone, no external contact "I'm on an isolated island and I can't leave even if I want to." Lao Kang said with a bitter smile.

"Since the treatment is very good and you have been doing this for several years, why is it like this? You can't take it out. It can't be stealing rare earths."

"Although we are just miners, we do part of the rough work in the early stage. Maybe we are just rough people in your eyes. But we also have certain principles! We have been doing it for so long, and we thought we were mining for the country. Until one time, I overheard that this was an illegal black mine and was exported abroad through smuggling and reselling. This made us feel uneasy! A group of us negotiated, protested, and even went on strike with the management. However, the number of people who responded to us was limited. After the mine was divided, there were more than ten people left, who were of no use at all. Instead, they imprisoned them

Only then did Li Yan understand why they were dressed in rags like homeless people. And their departure was actually for the loss of the national strategic resource of rare earths, which made him slightly moved. These days, he understands justice verbally and curses on the Internet.

There are many corrupt people, but not many can actually put justice first when personal interests are involved!

"After you escaped, you have been hiding in the mountains?"

Lao Kang and the other three people all became depressed.

After a while, Lao Kang sighed: "This is what happened this year. The Lunar New Year resort has been established, a lot of infrastructure has been completed, and the mining aspect has become more low-key. They can't arrange too many security guards. In other areas,

With the help of our co-workers, we escaped. Later, we divided into two teams. A few of us hid in the mountains, and some of us stole a speedboat in the resort at night and tried to escape ashore.

The result was naturally stuck. Simply operating a speedboat is not as difficult as driving across the sea. In addition to professional skills, direction, weather, oil and many other factors can keep them stuck at sea.
