Chapter 2473: Panic

~12 min read 2,248 words

The spiritual energy in the antidote was minimal. Although this could make Ye Chen conclude that the person who refined the pill must also be proficient in spiritual energy, Ye Chen could not guess the other party's cultivation level through the pill.

After all, the medicinal power of this antidote was really too low. Ye Chen felt that its greatest use was not to suppress the poison in the user's body, but to send a signal to the deadly poison in their body to temporarily not flare up.

He looked at these antidotes and couldn't help but speculate that if the Poqing Society had ten dead soldier bases worldwide, then together with the dead soldiers, their families, and the Cavalry Guards, there were probably at least tens of thousands of people.

Apart from this, there were "scholars," "guides," "special envoys," "governors," "Huben Camp," "express delivery companies," and various supporting personnel scattered all over the world.

Roughly estimated, the number of people under their command was at least one hundred thousand, or even more.

For these more than one hundred thousand people, the vast majority had to take an antidote every week, which meant that the antidote produced by the Poqing Society every day had to be ten or twenty thousand or even more.

With such a huge demand, it was impossible to let the masters who mastered spiritual energy be responsible, otherwise, it would be equivalent to pressing the strongest group of people into the sweatshop of manufacturing antidotes, which was really a waste of talent.

Therefore, Ye Chen estimated that the Poqing Society should have a large-scale pill processing base. After the English Lord, or the people under his command who mastered spiritual energy, refined the core pills, they were handed over to the processing base to be diluted with a specific formula.

At present, the clues Ye Chen could find basically had strong independence, and it was difficult to find an actual clue to connect this dead soldier base in Cyprus with the higher level of the organization.

But now it seems that the only thing that runs through all links of the Poqing Society is the production and transportation of the antidote.

The antidote is a truly existing bond. It will use the transportation line of the antidote to connect all external organizational structures with it. If one can find the output path of the antidote sent all the way down, one can find this pill processing base.

And this pill processing base is by no means an independent existence isolated from the Poqing Society headquarters or high-level, because the antidote it produces must have pills with spiritual energy as core raw materials, so there must be an input path for spiritual energy pills upstream.

Once this input path is found, perhaps one can follow the vine and find the true core of the Poqing Society.

Deciding on this, Ye Chen asked Duan Liye: "You just said that the time and place for the antidote to arrive in Turkey are random. Tell me specifically about your process of receiving the antidote."

"Okay," Duan Liye said respectfully: "Generally, we will receive a coordinate and a six-digit receipt code sent via satellite communication without any warning. The coordinate may be anywhere in Turkey. After receiving the address, we will immediately rush over to receive it."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added: "They usually choose a wilderness to place the safe. Since the coordinates are accurate to the meter, as long as we try to dig on the flat ground after arriving at the designated coordinate, we can soon find the location of the safe."

"Wilderness?" Ye Chen couldn't help frowning.

It seems that their process is indeed very rigorous. In the wilderness, there is no monitoring equipment, and the other party chooses the location randomly, so it is impossible to deploy in advance.

And after the other party calmly places the safe, there is enough time to clean up all clues, and then inform the other party of this coordinate.

Even, it is possible that the other party buries multiple safes in Turkey at once, just announcing the coordinates of one of them every once in a while in the future.

In this way, wanting to trace this line is even more difficult.

Subsequently, Ye Chen asked again: "After you find it, do you find any traces left by them when they placed the safe?"

"No," Duan Liye shook his head: "I specifically paid attention to this point, but every time I received the antidote, I didn't find any traces. There were no footprints, and no tire marks. Either they specially handled it when they left, or the time they buried the safe was long enough, and the wind and sun naturally covered the traces they left, or it could be both."

Ye Chen couldn't help but smack his lips and asked him: "After finding it, do you need to give them feedback?"

"Yes," Duan Liye said: "The safe has a password input area, but this area is not used to open the safe door, but to send a receipt to the organization. As long as the correct receipt code is entered, the organization can confirm that we have received it safely."

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't know for a while what method he should use to catch the clue of the other party's antidote.

At this time, the cargo ship made a very harsh whistle, and the ship's speed also slowed down a lot, which made Ye Chen realize that the ship was about to dock.

Therefore, he immediately threw the antidote brought by Duan Liye back into the wardrobe, turned to wrap himself in one of the black robes, and then said to Duan Liye: "I will disguise myself as your deputy and go to the copper mine with you. How you handed over with them before, just hand over the same way this time."

Duan Liye nodded without hesitation: "Obey!"

After saying that, he took another black robe, skillfully put it on, and used the huge hat to completely cover his head.

Ye Chen followed suit, using the hood of the black robe to cover his head completely.

He found that the hood of the black robe was very wide, and the fabric of the hood part was light and thin, so even if the hood covered the whole face, it did not hinder the line of sight.

Subsequently, Ye Chen and Duan Liye walked to the door, looked at the martial artist standing motionless like a wooden board in the corridor, and said coldly: "Listen well, except for the two of us, if anyone else dares to enter this room, kill without mercy!"

The other party was immediately controlled by Ye Chen's psychological hints, and immediately nodded respectfully: "The subordinate obeys!"

When the two walked out of the room, it was already busy outside.

Most of the Cavalry Guards responsible for vigilance returned to the bridge tower. After the ship stopped steadily, they would take all the crew members into the engine room to prevent these crew members from peeking at any clues.

And at this time, the cargo ship was only one or two kilometers away from the pier.

Ye Chen and Duan Liye walked out of the bridge tower and came to the deck.

On the deck, two crew members and two Cavalry Guards were standing on the left side of the ship, waiting for the cable to be thrown to complete the docking.

And Ye Chen could already see that the small pier ahead was brightly lit at this time, and multiple trucks and loading vehicles were already waiting here.

Apart from this, Ye Chen also saw several small cars, which he thought should be the motorcade waiting to welcome Duan Liye.

The cargo ship started reverse thrust when it was about to dock, and then the sailing speed dropped rapidly, and it leaned toward the pier with its side.

After the ship stopped, Duan Liye took the lead, walked all the way down from the spiral staircase inside the deck, and at this time, the cabin door below had already been opened by two crew members.

At the same time, the crane next to the cargo ship had already begun to move slowly. It seems that unloading was about to begin.

Since Ye Chen asked Duan Liye to hand over normally according to the previous handover method, at this time, Duan Liye had completely entered the rhythm of his usual handover.

When he walked out of the cabin door, several men were already waiting here. Seeing Duan Liye and Ye Chen walk down, the leader immediately said respectfully to Duan Liye: "Special Envoy, you... you have worked hard all the way!"

Ye Chen could hear that the other party's tone carried a bit of nervousness and anxiety.

Looking at the others beside him, one by one, they were also nervous.

Ye Chen speculated that he should be anxious because of the failure in Bergen a few days ago.

After all, Lin Wan'er was a person named by the English Lord himself, but their people failed to complete this arduous mission.

And now it just happened to be the time to deliver the antidote, they were afraid that the English Lord would repeat the means of twenty years ago and put everyone in this base to death.

Facing the respect and anxiety of these people, Duan Liye just gave a faint hum in his nose, didn't even look at that person, and walked straight toward the three small cars.

The leader ran a few steps quickly, rushed to the Mercedes-Benz car in the middle, opened the door for Duan Liye, and then helped Ye Chen open the passenger door.

Duan Liye, wrapped in a black robe, sat in the back seat of the car first, and Ye Chen also followed and sat in the passenger seat.

Subsequently, these people who came to welcome them quickly sat into the cars in front and behind, and the motorcade left the pier quickly and drove to the copper mine about one kilometer away from the pier.

The motorcade bypassed the pier and drove to the main entrance of the copper mine in the blink of an eye. The automatic gate opened in advance, allowing these three cars to drive straight in without slowing down.

This copper mine looked similar to the Wanlong Palace base from the outside, but the scale was much smaller.

Although there was nothing abnormal inside, Ye Chen still found many hidden sentries and firepower points.

It can be seen that the vigilance here is very strict.

The motorcade stopped directly in front of a building that looked like an office building, and at this time, many people were waiting here.

The middle-aged man in the lead was dressed elegantly, with a bit of a big entrepreneur's style.

Beside the middle-aged man, stood a young man wearing glasses. The young man was thin and tall, and looked very scholarly. At first glance, the first feeling he gave was that he was an assistant or secretary to the middle-aged man.

However, Ye Chen discovered that the middle-aged man actually had no cultivation, not even a martial artist. Instead, this young man with a strong scholarly atmosphere was actually a Dark Realm expert, but his level was relatively low, only at the Second Heaven of the Dark Realm.

Combined with Duan Liye's previous confession, it is estimated that this middle-aged man should be the surface manager of this copper mine, and this young man beside him is likely the real controller here, the Governor mentioned by the seven Cavalry Guards.

Behind this young man, there were several martial arts experts, but among the remaining few, the strongest was only an old man at the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm.

However, looking at these people now, they all had a bit of panic, thinking that they must be living in fear because of the last failure.

After the car stopped, the young man who looked like an assistant stepped forward first and respectfully opened the door for Ye Chen and Duan Liye.

And as soon as Duan Liye got off the car, the elegantly dressed man walked up and said respectfully: "Special Envoy, you have worked hard!"

The young man at the First Heaven of the Dark Realm also bowed slightly and said piously: "Special Envoy has worked hard!"

The people behind bowed together and shouted loudly: "Special Envoy has worked hard!"

Duan Liye just raised his hand and said faintly: "Let's go in and talk."

"Okay! Please this way!" The young man quickly made a gesture of invitation respectfully, and then walked a few steps quickly to lead the way.

Duan Liye followed closely, and the middle-aged man followed by his side, saying: "Special Envoy, our operation report for this period of time has been written, please take a look when you have time later."

Duan Liye gave a hum and didn't say much. This cold attitude made the middle-aged man even more nervous.

Ye Chen followed behind Duan Liye, taking in the performance of these people. Seeing the terrified appearance of these people, he felt relieved in his heart.

This group of people is currently in extreme fear. It is conceivable that the Cavalry Guards and dead soldiers here must be restless these days. This is definitely an excellent opportunity to turn them against the enemy! ===== CHAPTER 2474 =====
