343: Chapter 343 Infrastructure Maniac

Five percent of the entire Africa oil field's shares...

This was already wealth beyond their wildest imagination!

Even Long Anyou's mind went completely blank for a moment.

Recalling his work at the Longan Bureau, he suddenly felt as if his brain had been struck by something tangible.

It was a complex feeling that was hard to articulate.

"Lin Heng, are you sure... you only need us here temporarily to get the infrastructure facilities sorted out?"

On the way back, Long Anyou licked his dry lips and asked with some doubt.

"Of course... After all, we can't stay here forever, can we?"

"We all have to return home."

Lin Heng glanced over lightly and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Long Anyou's mouth twitched. He truly wished he could slap himself.

He had actually considered whether he should stay behind before...

Fortunately, Lin Heng had stopped him. Otherwise, he might have been the first to apply to stay in Africa for development.

How could doing something beneficial for the motherland be considered rebelling against the organization?

"Next, I will have Lubisang brief you on the work matters. Whether we can return to Long Country for the New Year depends on you."

Lin Heng said calmly.

New Year...

Long Anyou paused.

This was a word that held unique significance for the people of Long Country.

No matter the circumstances outside, they had to return home to see their families during the New Year.

This was an emotion etched into the very bones of the people of Long Country.

Thinking of this, Long Anyou recalled everything Lin Heng had done previously and realized that none of it seemed to harm Long Country; perhaps he had worried too much.

With that, Long Anyou let out a wry, bitter laugh.

He truly didn't know what was going through his mind.

When he looked up, Lin Heng had already finished giving instructions and was walking away quickly.

Lubisang and the others were walking towards him.

"Friend, the National Advisor has already communicated with us. Please come with us..."

...Time passed quickly.

Under the guidance of Long Anyou and the others, the infrastructure construction in various aspects across Africa proceeded in an orderly manner. In just over ten days, the initial shape had already emerged!

And!

Most critically, the mining tools were all ones that the Pretty Country had prepared long ago, but they had ended up benefiting Lin Heng and his group.

However, Long Anyou harbored a subtle worry.

The cost of just these machines had reached an astronomical figure. Afterward, he wondered if the people from the Pretty Country would come to seize them...

This was what worried them the most.

Furthermore, the Pretty Country's naval fleet in the Indian Ocean hung over their heads like a sharp sword, ready to fall at any moment...

It made them feel tense.

But... while Long Anyou and the others were worrying unnecessarily, they realized that more than half a month had passed, and they still hadn't heard any news about the Pretty Country's naval fleet.

This left them puzzled.

When did the people from the Pretty Country become so patient?

At first, they were quite concerned, but as time went on, worrying was useless—those people simply didn't show up.

So, they stopped worrying so much.

If the enemy really did attack, they weren't sure if they could hold them off anyway.

Consequently, everyone relaxed and started working with even greater zeal.

After all, Lin Heng would send them away once everything was concluded.

It was on the twentieth day!

They suddenly received a piece of news!

..."Director Long! Director Long! Something big has happened!"

Soon after... a member of the Longan Bureau ran quickly into a temporarily erected shed.

At that moment, Long Anyou was inside the shed discussing the next phase of excavation with the others—how to speed up construction while ensuring safety.

Previously, they had already created no fewer than ten large models, and the early practical results were already functioning normally, yielding outputs that were simply astonishing!

Long Anyou never expected that the experience he had accumulated from infrastructure work in his youth could be utilized at this time.

The memories imprinted in his mind and muscles, when applied now, were practically a dimensional reduction strike against the natives of Africa!

As a result, the excavation work for many large oil fields and mines proceeded in an orderly fashion, with efficiency far beyond the ordinary!

Eventually, even Chen Sheng and the others were assigned to participate and learn.

It proved that gold shines wherever it is placed.

For a time, Long Anyou became the leader of everyone here!

Even the extremely strict elder Chen Sheng cast an appreciative glance at Long Anyou.

At that moment, the group was engaged in discussion, planning the next phase of development.

Suddenly... someone burst in from outside.

Looking closely... the person was completely black from head to toe, with only a pair of bright white eyes visible.

The person was panting heavily from running too fast, gasping for breath as he spoke.

"Big... Big news!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Long Anyou and the others changed instantly.

He immediately stepped forward, grabbed the person's shoulders, and questioned sternly,

"Did a mountain collapse? Or did a mine tunnel cave in?"

"Are there casualties? How many people died?"

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and send people to check the situation!"

"If you can save anyone, act immediately, race against time. Maybe we can still save one more person!"

"..."

Long Anyou immediately gave orders.

He spoke several sentences in quick succession.

Everyone's expression shifted uniformly upon hearing this.

Without a second thought, they immediately sprang into action.

Even the elder Chen Sheng had a stern look on his face and was the first to pick up a shovel nearby, striding out purposefully.

However...

The person who brought the news grabbed onto him.

Huh??

The other person let out a wry smile.

"Wait, wait for me to catch my breath."

The person's chest rose and fell unevenly, his voice intermittent as he spoke.

Even at a time like this, you want to catch your breath?

In the time it takes you to catch your breath, those people could already be completely dead beneath the mine tunnel!

"You take a rest first. This isn't your responsibility anymore; let us handle it. You rest well!"

Chen Sheng said in a deep voice.

Although he was already sixty years old, his body was robust, not inferior to a young man in his early twenties.

With a wave of his hand, he easily broke free from the person's grasp.

The others followed closely behind.

They were completely unstoppable by Chen Sheng and the others.

Long Anyou even called Lubisang and the others, requesting immediate emergency support.

They truly embodied the spirit of 'when one side is in trouble, all sides rush to the rescue' to the extreme!

At that moment...

The messenger finally managed to recover his breath.

He gave a wry smile and slowly said, "Well... you all misunderstood. Actually, nothing happened in the mine tunnel."

Ah?

"Then what is it?" Chen Sheng frowned.

"It's news from the Pretty Country!"
