However, this method is obviously far less effective than modern equipment.

Coupled with the cold temperature and the high workload, someone finally collapsed.

There were shouts and cries in the tunnel, and everyone carried the person out in panic.

There was a military doctor in the special forces team. After checking it out, he shook his head.

"Acute myocardial infarction, he can't be saved."

The deceased was Xu Youzhi, 52 years old, a construction worker.

Older people are most likely to suffer from myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction when exposed to low temperatures.

This disease is not incurable, but the patient needs to be quickly sent to a place with good medical environment for bypass surgery.

Xishan Base has such medical conditions.

But there is no need to go through so much trouble for an ordinary villager.

So Xu Youzhi was directly sentenced to death.

The villagers of Xujia Town looked at Xu Youzhi's still warm body, and felt sad and angry.

Xu Youzhi is not dead yet, but it is as if he is already dead.

He lost his life working for the Xishan base.

A young man yelled at the surrounding special forces members: "What you are doing is inhumane! You are treating us like beasts of burden. I won't do this!"

As he said this, he angrily dropped the shovel in his hand.

Seeing this, the villagers in the surrounding Xujia Town also dropped their tools and clamored for an explanation.

The supervisor, Shen Hong, frowned and said coldly, "Organizational orders cannot be disobeyed! Everything we do is to avenge you."

"Now that we've come this far, anyone who dares to back down would be a deserter!"

Shen Hong emphasized the word "deserter".

He swung his assault rifle, aiming the muzzle at the group of villagers.

This simple action was like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads, chilling the hot blood in everyone's bones.

Xu Dongtang sighed: "Carry the person back! Replace him!"

With sorrow in their eyes, the villagers could only carry Xu Youzhi's body away and prepare to take it back to Xujia Town for burial.

However, when one person dies, the consequences become uncontrollable.

As the tunnels were dug deeper and deeper, the working conditions and intensity changed rapidly.

The second, the third, the fourth...

More and more villagers in Xujia Town died in the process of digging tunnels.

Some people are working and suddenly fall to the ground.

Some people go home after a day's work, lie down in bed and never wake up again.

The human body is inherently fragile.

They have to try their best to survive in the extremely cold temperatures.

Now they are forced to work in a harsh environment, which is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back and makes them lose their lives.

Later on, several bodies were carried out of the tunnel every day.

The mood of the villagers in Xujia Town also became more violent as the number of corpses increased.

Although they did not dare to directly clash with the armed special forces, verbal conflicts and small actions in private continued.

After learning about this situation, Ling Feng was unusually calm.

Because everything was within their expectations.

"Just pick out a few of the leaders and kill them. Some people won't feel fear until they see blood."

“In addition, we only require the progress of the project and let their own village and town heads manage it.”

"They are best at managing their own people, better than us."
