Chapter 877 877: The Herders ( 10 )
A few minutes later, Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi heard a faint conversation coming from outside. When they heard the language used by them, they exchanged glances.
Most of the guards would use the Thirteen Colonies' language, but those people used the Tsardom Kingdom's language. From this alone, they knew that one of the people outside must be Borislav Morozov.
As if confirming their guess, they heard one of them say, "General Morozov, we already did our best mining the crystals. If you want us to increase the output, you need to send more miners."
"Aren't there slaves raised in this city? Just send them to the mine," another voice said. But this voice was a woman's voice.
A man let out a sigh and explained frustratedly, "Lady Morozov, you know that those people were raised as sacrificial lambs. Without the First Elder's permission, we can't touch those people."
"What's more, those black crystals contain high radiation. If commoners have direct contact with the crystals, they can only hold on for at most three months. Those weaker ones will die within ten days."
"If they die, send more over. Why are you so fussy?" the woman rebuked angrily.
"Lady Morozov…"
Before the man could finish his words, another voice cut him off sharply. "Enough!"
After a moment of pause, he continued, "Right now, I'm the one leading this operation. You don't have to care about the First Elder. I will take care of it if he comes asking. Send those lambs to the mine."
"Understood."
When the group left, Jin Xuyan had already sent a message to his team members.
Outside, Zhang Yuan received the message and said, "Captain sent a message saying that there is a change in our plan."
"Vice Captain, what's wrong?" Zhou Huajian asked.
"Keep an eye on the base. If there is a group of people leaving, we must follow them. They will transport the survivors to a crystal mine. We need to find out the location of the mine."
Hearing this, Chen Qianfeng asked, "Vice Captain, if we all go, then what if Captain and Sister-in-law need help?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Cheng Rui, Cheng Yue, Yu Fuyun, the three of you stay here to back up our Captain. The rest will follow me to find the mine location."
"Understood," the members nodded.
They waited for 20 minutes before they saw a fleet of trucks leaving the invisible base. Seeing this, Zhang Yuan nodded, and Feng Yun took out several cars.
These cars had been modified by Du Beiye and were able to drive on icy roads without slipping. They didn't know how she did it, but the cars were now equipped with small missiles, and the engine was so smooth that they didn't even produce a sound.
The members quickly boarded the cars and tailed behind the fleet of trucks.
Since they were hiding their existence, they couldn't turn on the car lights. Fortunately, they wore night vision glasses. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to see the road properly.
They rode for almost one hour before they arrived at the factory area. They didn't go inside and waited at the nearby buildings.
More than an hour later, the trucks finally left the factory area. This time, there were more than 3,000 people with them.
Checking his map, Qin Luzi said, "Vice Captain, among the commoners, there are a total of 67 mutants."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Follow them."
While they were on their way, Qin Luzi used the map in his mind to draw a route. They drove for more than 6 hours and reached the western border area.
When the members saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned.
They saw traces of battle in the surroundings. There were still pieces of flesh on the ground, covered with dust and maggots. In the distance, they saw crumbled walls and piles of ruins. From the shapes, those ruins looked like a base.
The members found a place to park their cars. Feng Yun looked at the area and pointed to a spot behind the ruins. "Vice Captain, that place has fewer guards."
Zhang Yuan and the members turned in the direction he pointed. After Xiao Qi compared the surroundings with the map, he said, "Brother Feng, that area should be the cliff."
"Let's check it out," Zhang Yuan said.
After the members got out of the cars, Feng Yun stored them in his space.
Today, the sky was overcast with dark clouds. As the wind picked up, snowflakes fluttered down. The members pulled up their masks to cover their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.
As they walked, Di Hansheng said, "Fortunately, our Sister-in-law gave us these suits. Otherwise, not to mention doing a mission outside, we wouldn't even be able to leave the room without shivering from the cold."
When the members heard this, they nodded in agreement.
To save their energy, they didn't talk. At this moment, Chen Wenwu was walking at the back of the formation. As they walked, he continued to circulate his energy to remove their footsteps.
As the only ice-type mutant in their team, winter was the best season for him. With ice and snow everywhere, his energy consumption hit the lowest level since he awakened his ability.
Therefore, even though he had been using his energy since morning, he didn't feel tired at all.
20 minutes later, they arrived at the cliff.
As they had guessed, there were no guards stationed in this area. While the members were checking the area to find a way to sneak in, Gao Bohai and Li Sikai were checking the edge of the cliff.
A moment later, Gao Bohai said, "Sikai, there is something here."
Hearing this, Li Sikai walked over and squatted beside him. He took a closer look at the wall of the cliff and said, "There are traces of wheels."
Gao Bohai looked around and said, "This area didn't have any signs of battle. Someone escaped the battle through here."
