Chapter 1417: Sinking into a Sinkhole
I'm already feeling a sense of urgency, even a sense that tomorrow is the end.
Did the Mayans have a premonition that the end of the world is coming?
I was also secretly glad that before the end came, I got the bloodline of the sea gluttony, my strength increased greatly, and I subdued the entire Kunlun Immortal Sect.
Without stopping, I quickly flew towards Chaotianmen.
However, it didn't take long to fly, and after condescendingly, I found a huge sinkhole in the center of a downtown area.
I thought it was a big project in our country, but I saw that there were many people around, and even a cordon was set up, and the surrounding area of this sinkhole was very uneven, not like a man-made building, and more likely to be naturally formed.
I landed quietly and squeezed into the crowd, only to be stopped by the police.
"All backwards, all backwards, there's nothing to see, hurry up, there's still a danger of collapse here. A policeman shouted at the crowd with a bullhorn.
"Please don't crowd, this place may collapse twice at any time, evacuate quickly. He yelled again, his voice a little hoarse, and he said, "Don't crowd, follow the order, avoid stampede, and get out of here quickly." ”
There were quite a few team members dispatched this time, and iron railings were enclosed around the entire sinkhole, and then on the periphery of the railing were rows of team members lined up with explosion-proof shields, surrounded by airtightness.
Moreover, these team members are tied with safety slings, for fear of collapsing again and suddenly falling into the pit.
I swept around, and the pit was tens of meters in diameter, which was extremely huge.
As for the depth, I can't sense it, the range of up and down sensing is really limited, at least my induction at this time is bottomless.
I remember that there have been many such huge sinkholes abroad, some of which are even more than 100 meters deep, which is a very terrible depth, like the deep pit in Guatemala, which is still an unsolved mystery.
There was a whirring wind around the pit, and the occasional sound of rushing water, but now there was water below, and it was very deep, otherwise the sound would not have resonated and echoed.
There are no other traces around, but some old people around are scolding, and some police are persuading the old man, but the old man does not leave, and the police dare not use force.
"This group of bastards, only care about making money to develop real estate, seriously ignoring the ecology, digging the foundation indiscriminately, now the retribution is coming, I see how many people you will die this time. An old man with glasses yelled, spitting and pointing at the two buildings next to him.
"I don't think it has much to do with digging the foundation, I heard that these two buildings are more than 40 floors, and when the foundation was laid, the 'living pile' was driven, and now these people are back to take revenge. Another old man shouted loudly.
"Uncle, you can't talk nonsense, this has to be proven, and this is a superstitious statement, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence. The policeman next to him shouted.
The old man immediately shut up, because he had no evidence.
For this point, I have also heard that there are many superstitious sayings in the past, when building a big project, if you encounter a 'difficult thing', such as the foundation can't be laid down or the bridge is always blown down by the wind and beaten down by the big waves, it is a 'big difficulty'.
But this kind of project is a big project, and you can't stop it casually, and you can't change the route casually, because the moving is the cost of hundreds of millions, and there is also the problem of the construction period, if you can't complete it on time, you will lose a lot of money.
Therefore, many large projects will hold a grand groundbreaking ceremony before the start of construction, which many people know.
Including some of our public projects, there will still be leaders to cut and lay the foundation, which is a formality, but more of a custom left over from the past.
Many people will also invite feng shui masters and Taoist priests to look at feng shui and lay out the project.
Especially after encountering 'big difficulties', it is necessary to find 'capable people' to deal with them, and those so-called 'capable people' are of course true and false, some are really knowledgeable, and some are indiscriminate.
As for who first came up with the idea of 'staking the living man', no one knows, and as for whether it has any effect, and whether anyone has done it, I don't know.
But the overpass in Shanghai encountered the situation that the foundation could not be hit before, and it was said that it was hit on the 'dragon's back', so it hit the dragon pillar, the nine dragons held the pillar, which was guided by the masters, and then it was successfully completed.
I looked at the two buildings in front of me, and then at the buildings around me, and at the sound of water underneath, which probably had nothing to do with the living pile.
I looked at the two buildings not far away, one was called Lianfu Hardware Building, and the other was called Lianfu Mining Building.
I was stunned, so I asked an old man next to me, and I asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what was this place used to do?
"Yes, young man, why do you ask this?" he said, pointing to a small hill not far away, about three kilometers away, "There used to be a big mountain over there, but the mining was dug into a small hill. ”
"What kind of ore?" I already had some guesses in my mind.
"It's marble and other stones, we used to be workers in the mining area, these stones were dug up and made into slate floor tiles and sold to foreigners to earn foreign exchange, and the business used to be very good. The old man pointed to a group of dormitories not far away.
"Are you still mining?" I asked again.
"Don't dig it for a long time, the ore has been dug up, where did the mine come from, and then our boss found that the real estate is good, so he changed his career to real estate, you see the commercial housing community not far away, that is more than ten times stronger than our dormitory, but now it's so expensive, although we used to even have a 10% discount for the employees of the rich company, but still can't afford it, so we can only rent a dormitory to live, fortunately, the dormitory is cheap, and the boss is a little conscience. The uncle said.
"Then what did the old man say just now?" I asked in a whisper.
"He's crazy, you can believe the words of a madman!" the old man glanced at the old man in front of him.
"Wu Cannon, you're crazy. I didn't expect the uncle to be so old and his ears were so good, and he heard us so quietly, and he said unconvincedly: "Let me ask you, did eight workers go down to the mine to mine, and then collapsed, their whereabouts are unknown, and even the body has not been found?"
"That's a mining disaster...... Wu said.
", only a dumbfounded person like you would believe it. The old man looked like he knew everything, and said: "The mining disaster was all man-made, and a discerning person can see at a glance that it is nothing more than a farce directed to hide people's eyes and ears, and it is nothing more than to create the illusion that these eight workers have always been false, but in fact, those eight workers were arrested and sent to drive live human stakes." ”
"Don't shout, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, the police are here. Wu Cannon was also taken aback and hurriedly stopped the old man.
The surrounding policemen were also confused, and after looking at each other, the one who took the lead said: "If you have evidence, take it to the police station, if not, please don't shout, be careful that someone accuses you of defamation, and now please leave here quickly, don't affect our official business." ”
A few old men coaxed and coaxed, and finally pulled the open-mouthed old man away.
As for the mining accident back then, where to find clues now, as for whether it is a living person pile, it is unknown.
But according to my judgment, it must be that the underground stones have been dug up, digging out a lot of cavities, and the existing soil layer cannot support the weight of the ground, coupled with the erosion of the soil layer by the groundwater, which is why it caused such a huge sinkhole.
I know that this matter must be held accountable, but I am afraid that one person will not be able to escape the involvement.
