Cup, 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 people 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 where they came from, he pretended to be unconscious and lay in the deep ditch. When the top of the trap opened the lawn cover, he listened to all the words of the people above.

into 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 a mobile phone, two people had already left small 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 go down 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., it is better to 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.

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

The one who spoke first laughed a little, a little embarrassed, but soon heard the other one say in an upright manner: "Let me test it and see if their heartbeats are normal."

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

While talking, the two people settled down 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. It was only at this height, there was no need to tie ropes or anything, it was just the two of them below.

Lift the person up, and then let the person on top lie down on the ground and reach out to pull the person up. Since you want to lift the person up, you have to pick them up first. If you want to pick them up, it is normal to 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!

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

The people above were lying on the ground and reaching out to help them. They 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. But

, before he could say anything, he saw an unconscious person getting up. Before he could see clearly what was going on, the 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 only came in time and called out twice, "Lao Kang". The other man listened to the other man's words.

Suggestion, I was thinking about its feasibility, when I heard the exclamation, I hurriedly poked my head over.

"What's going on?"

He already had the answer without saying a word. 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.

He said, stammering 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, and it seemed that they were all hiding in the surrounding trees.

Go up, he didn't see anyone just now, which makes him a little ashamed. His alertness is still a bit degraded.

"Who are you?" He originally wanted to knock them down one by one when he came up, 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, and they speak a certain dialect. It is definitely not the dialect here. And they also wear clothes, but the clothes they wear are very thin and shabby.

, the body is dirty and looks a bit 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 don't mean to hurt anyone, "we just want some clothes to keep out the cold!" The person who spoke should be Lao Kang, 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 frightened that he could knock them down silently and climb 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 knowledgeable person, and 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 Li Yan, was also staring closely at Li Yan. He was not as panicked as Nian, but analyzed and said: "When you found out that they were missing, you didn't call for help immediately;

After the net 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 surprised Li Yan, and also surprised the three people. In their opinion, there were still four of them, and 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 was a little relieved because he didn't trust Li Yan very much, but he relaxed 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, he didn't 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 pretend to be faint and eavesdrop on them.

If you do, you can knock two people out easily. 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 to make good use of mobile phones and cameras, make phone calls, or shoot a video on the mobile phone to spread the news. He was already moved.

Now, if this person can listen to them, know what happened, 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 the story short.

Li Yan had determined that they were ordinary people, and it was not like he was specifically targeting them. They were probably just people who wanted to get some clothes to keep out the cold. Seeing that he was willing to talk, 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 deserted 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. Due to inconvenient transportation, all materials need to be transported from land by ship, and the transportation cost is much higher than that of land. Therefore, even if the government means not to destroy the natural resources of the island,

However, the developers still mobilized corresponding workers. There were some on the island, and they 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 the key points. The key point is that one day the workers who mined the stone discovered 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. The result was that it was not known.

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

In the south, northern Guangdong, Liangshan in Sichuan, and Weishan in Shandong, a distribution pattern of north, south, west, and east is formed, and the distribution characteristics are 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 they are closely related to 7 kinds of elements, called rare earth elements. Rare earth elements began to appear in succession at the end of the old 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, and guidance. In a certain sense, the United States’ advanced weapons 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, Japan is the main user of rare earths in the world, but it is also exported to China! As China’s most abundant strategic resource, the bulk of rare earths is exported. Nian Zuishang once said meaningfully: "The Middle East has oil, and we have rare earths." However, before and after this, rare earths were treated as ordinary commodities in exchange for foreign exchange in China and exported at cabbage prices!

Our reserves, output, 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 reasons for this current situation are not only the central government's long-term lack of attention, thinking that the family has a big business and nothing to waste, but also 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, what the developers saw was not the national strategic resources, but the immediate benefits! 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 little conspiracy theory. The reason why Xiaoyao Island has been open for so many years has not been promoted to the outside world on a large scale. 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 earth is 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, which is much higher than our income in other small mines; the other is strict control, no telephone, no mobile phone, no external communication. Contact us. We are on an isolated island and cannot leave even if we 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 reason was actually for the loss of the national strategic resource of rare earths, which made him slightly moved. These days, they understand justice verbally, and on the Internet

There are many people who curse corruption, 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.
