Chapter 2462: Let
Ye Chen's words left these seven Cavalry Guards, as well as the 547 sitting on the other side, completely dumbfounded!
They did not know why Ye Chen would suddenly ask such a question, but the expressions of these eight people were somewhat agitated at this moment.
547 was the first to speak, clenching his fists and saying sternly, "Mr. Ye, if it were truly as you said, we dead soldiers would definitely organize and fight our way out of the encirclement! Even if we die, we must die under the sunlight!"
The leader of the Cavalry Guards also subconsciously said, "That's right, Mr. Ye... If such a situation really occurred, the Cavalry Guards would definitely seize the opportunity to fight to the death!"
547 sighed, "For all dead soldiers, the organization's shackles are mainly the deadly poison in our bodies and our own families. Once the trouble of the poison is solved, the dead soldiers can use their own strength to fight to defend the safety of their loved ones. Moreover, there is a chance to lead our families to escape. This is the greatest dream of every dead soldier's dozens of generations of ancestors. Once there is a chance, every dead soldier will go all out for this dream!"
547's words were met with great agreement and empathy from the other Cavalry Guards.
Like these dead soldiers, they also longed for the day when they could completely break free from the control of this mysterious organization.
The reason they had never stood up to resist the organization was mainly because they were powerless against the poison in their bodies.
It wasn't that their predecessors hadn't tried this before, but whether they resisted or fled, the maximum lifespan of everyone after escaping was only seven days.
Therefore, as time went on, no one was willing to do such a thing that had absolutely no chance of success.
But if the situation Ye Chen described really happened, and the poison in their bodies was suddenly and completely cleared, they would, like the dead soldiers, immediately stand up and resist to the end.
After seeing the attitude of the few, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Does the Governor need to take the antidote regularly?"
"I've never heard of it," the lead Cavalry Guard said. "The Governor is mysterious and keeps a low profile. Whether he needs to take the antidote like us, we have no way of knowing."
Ye Chen asked again, "Then how is the antidote distributed to you and all the dead soldiers after it is delivered each time?"
The man explained, "Every time the antidote is delivered, the Governor personally coordinates with the courier responsible for transporting it. The antidote comes in packages of ten, wrapped in waterproof wax paper, and sealed with special lacquer and a seal. Every time the antidote is delivered, the Governor personally checks the packaging of each package. After confirming there are no problems, he hands these antidotes to his personal guards, and then his personal guards personally distribute them to us Cavalry Guards."
As he spoke, he continued, "When the antidote is distributed, we line up according to our unit structure to receive it, and after receiving it, we must take it immediately; we are not allowed to take the antidote away secretly."
"After we finish taking the antidote under the supervision of the Governor's personal guards, we must go with them to distribute the antidote to the dead soldiers and their families. The overall process is basically the same; the dead soldiers and their relatives must also take the medicine under our supervision. Thus, the whole process of taking the medicine once is completed."
Li Yalin, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask, "I have a question. Since you can only live for 7 days without the antidote, why do they still supervise you to make sure you take it? Could it be that someone would deliberately not take the antidote they gave you?"
The man gave a wry smile and said, "Whether it's us or the dead soldiers, we have actually thought about resisting. Although we know we don't have the ability to fight the entire organization, we still have some wishful thinking. Therefore, in the past, there were cases where multiple dead soldiers deliberately didn't take the antidote, saved the medicine for one person, and tried to help that person escape the station, hoping to get help from the outside world by seeking rescue and exposing the organization's secrets. But without exception, they all failed. However, precisely because such things happened, the organization's requirement is that someone must supervise the taking of the medicine."
Hearing this, Ye Chen said, "In other words, the antidote given to you has special anti-counterfeiting measures, but only the Governor knows the specific means of anti-counterfeiting. Therefore, after the antidote is delivered, he coordinates and verifies its authenticity. Only after confirming there are no problems will it be distributed to the Cavalry Guards first, and then to the dead soldiers and their families."
"Yes," the man nodded and said, "The whole process is actually very rigorous."
Ye Chen asked again, "In your impression, what are the anti-counterfeiting features of the antidote?"
"This..." the man hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't be sure what the anti-counterfeiting features are. Although every package of medicine is opened in front of us and distributed to us, the lacquer used to seal the wax paper is reheated every time. You know, once that stuff is heated, the pattern originally stamped on it no longer exists, so I don't know what the lacquer looked like on the original medicine seal."
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "In that case, trying to pull off a switch without anyone noticing and then fooling that Governor should be impossible. If I were to change the medicine at some point in the middle, it would inevitably damage the original anti-counterfeiting mark to some extent. As soon as the Governor gets the medicine, he would realize something was wrong."
"Yes," the man agreed, "We don't know how many anti-counterfeiting marks are on the medicine seal. It's very likely there is more than just the lacquer seal. As long as there is the slightest negligence, all previous efforts will be wasted."
Hearing this, Li Yalin couldn't help but say with a look of regret, "If you could really detoxify the more than one thousand dead soldiers and two hundred Cavalry Guards, even if you didn't recruit them for your own use, once they escaped, it would be enough to give this organization a headache. With thousands of people escaping, they wouldn't be able to catch them all. At that time, it would definitely throw them into chaos."
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, for the organization, even if these thousand-plus people ran away, it wouldn't have any impact. After all, this is just one of their many dead soldier stations. Even if the whole thing were uprooted, it wouldn't hurt their foundation. If one or two people ran away, they would definitely pursue them desperately to keep the station and prevent the secret from leaking. But once everyone in the entire station runs away, this station has no value to them. A station with no value can just be abandoned. To them, it doesn't count as any trouble."
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "It's like the United States having so many military bases around the world. If one were really wiped out, for the United States, apart from making the White House nervous, angry, and feeling the pinch, it wouldn't cause any real damage to the overall national strength of the United States."
Li Yalin was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Young Master Ye is right. The power of this organization is beyond imagination. A mere station might really not count for much."
Ye Chen smiled playfully and said casually, "Since there's no way to fool the Governor, then let's just turn him into one of our own. In this way, we can truly achieve the feat of 'crossing the sea under a false banner'!"
The lead Cavalry Guard asked in confusion, "Mr. Ye, how do you plan to realize this idea? The Governor is a regional official of the organization and has the power of life and death over everyone in the station. How could such a person become one of our own?"
Ye Chen smiled and said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about this. As long as I see him, I can make him obey me."
Using spiritual energy to brainwash someone was a trick Ye Chen had tried and tested.
If he could brainwash the Governor of Cyprus and make him his puppet, and then take the opportunity to detoxify all the dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards, he could make these dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards join his ranks. At the same time, he would have them continue to stay at the Cyprus station and, together with the puppet Governor, continue to act as if everything were normal for the organization.
In this way, not only could he dismantle one of their stations, but he could also plant an eye right under their noses. Once the organization had a mission for Cyprus, he would know about it immediately.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked them, "If the dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards are really as eager to break these shackles as you say, I can give them this opportunity when the time comes. But the premise is that they must swear allegiance to me and swear to join the Wanlong Palace. If they agree, they will continue to stay at the station after detoxification to prepare for completely crushing the organization. Do you think they will agree?"
547 said without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, don't worry. I believe all the dead soldiers will not refuse!"
The lead Cavalry Guard, however, said with some worry, "Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth, in the ranks of the Cavalry Guards, there are already individuals who have developed the idea of continuing to climb higher. Their hearts are very close to the organization, and they are bent on making contributions to the organization so that they can move up a level. If these people are not removed, I am afraid they will spoil things in the future."
Ye Chen nodded and said indifferently, "These are easy to solve. When the time comes, I only need to use a little trick to make these people reveal themselves."
As he spoke, he asked again, "When is your next medicine delivery?"
"Four days later," the lead Cavalry Guard said. "Under normal circumstances, we have to take the next round of antidote in five days. The medicine usually arrives on the night before taking it. After verification is completed, the medicine is taken collectively between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM."
Ye Chen asked, "The medicine, like other supplies, is transported from Turkey, right?"
"That's right," the other party nodded and said, "Other daily necessities are also transported to Cyprus along with the transport ship."
"Good," Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Four days later, I will go there alone."
As he spoke, he looked at Wan Pojun and instructed, "Pojun, you should prepare these few days. When the time comes, take people to wait for my news on the high seas. Once I solve the problem, you take people to land and join me in taking over that copper mine."
Wan Pojun said without hesitation, "Okay, Mr. Ye, your subordinate will definitely go all out!"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I also need a few days to prepare the antidote for thousands of people. Four days later, I will fly directly to Beirut, Lebanon. Pojun, prepare a small boat for me in advance. I will cross the sea alone to meet them!" ===== CHAPTER 2463 =====
