Chapter 3236: Another Way Out

At this very moment, in the freight yard specially used for loading cargo onto trains, dozens of workers were working busily.

Under the guidance of the person in charge, Ye Chen and Li Yalin came to the freight yard; even before entering, Ye Chen used his spiritual sense to probe and confirmed that none of the people inside had any cultivation or martial arts foundation, nor did they have any toxins used by the Broken Clear Society to control its members.

Among the members of the Broken Clear Society that Ye Chen had encountered so far, no matter how high their rank, they all carried the strange toxin left by Wu Feiyan, not even the four great counts were exempt; although Ye Chen did not know whether the three great elders had the same toxin in their bodies as the four great counts, he could at least confirm that the three great elders were currently in Nigeria looking for an opportunity to ambush him, making it impossible for them to appear here.

Therefore, Ye Chen could also confirm that among these loading workers, there were no members of the Broken Clear Society.

Thus, Ye Chen and Li Yalin directly had the person in charge lead them into the interior of the freight yard; on the platform, large quantities of tightly packed goods, even mounted on wooden frames, were stacked, and workers were using small forklifts and pallet jacks to transport the goods into different carriages.

Seeing the person in charge bring two people in, the workers looked slightly surprised, but no one dared to step forward to greet him; they simply worked even harder.

After asking the person in charge, Li Yalin whispered to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the loading workers here work in 12-hour shifts, two shifts rotating, loading cargo destined for shipment 24 hours a day without interruption in the freight yard; according to regulations, they must load all goods according to requirements within the specified time, and the yard will hand over the loading list to the person in charge, which does not include train numbers or formation information, only the cargo numbers and the carriage numbers to be loaded; these loading and unloading workers only know which batch of goods should go into which carriages, but as to what the goods are, which carriages will form a train, and where that train will go after formation, they are unaware."

Pausing, Li Yalin continued: "After the foreman leads the workers to load all carriages according to requirements, once the counting is complete and confirmed error-free, they must also affix a one-time seal lock on the closed carriage doors, and then they can wait for transportation; upon receiving the goods, the consignee must also first inspect the seal, confirm it is error-free, then open and count the goods."

Ye Chen nodded; on the tracks on both sides of the platform, many enclosed carriages with code markings were parked; a rough glance showed at least sixty or seventy carriages, so he asked Li Yalin: "Which of these are Duke Mining's goods?"

Li Yalin took out tomorrow's transportation plan, found the train information for Duke Mining, and said to Ye Chen: "The information for Duke Mining's twenty carriages is all here; we can check them one by one."

Ye Chen nodded, and together with Li Yalin, accompanied by the person in charge, began checking the carriage numbers, and soon found several carriages currently being loaded.

With the person in charge beside them, Ye Chen and Li Yalin walked in boldly to take a look; these few carriages were about half-loaded, and the vast majority of the goods were cardboard boxes roughly covering one square meter of floor space and about two meters high, with special wooden frames protecting the boxes; Li Yalin immediately recognized the logo on the packaging and said to Ye Chen: "These are Philips, an American company specializing in the production of thermal imaging equipment, considered a global leader, and their equipment is not only thermal imaging but also various night vision devices and drones."

Ye Chen glanced over; just the boxes printed with the Philips logo numbered in the dozens, and he couldn't help but ask: "Do they really need such a large quantity of night vision and infrared equipment?"

Li Yalin said: "Duke Mining covers such a vast area; if they truly want to achieve blind-spot-free infrared and thermal imaging surveillance, they might indeed need this much equipment, and building a massive security system is not like buying a few wireless cameras for home use, plugging them in and connecting to Wi-Fi; a security system cannot consist only of front-end equipment—the back-end equipment engineering is even larger; generally, in a single building, various monitoring probes alone require hundreds of units, and maintaining these hundreds of cameras needs an independent equipment room, with each camera requiring an average of hundreds of meters of wiring to connect to the equipment room, plus various switching equipment to link them, along with control systems and storage systems—this scale would be astonishing."

Speaking, he then saw another batch of goods waiting to be loaded, and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, look, this batch is Seagate's goods; Seagate is also an American company, mainly producing storage equipment; here alone, the storage equipment amounts to tons, and there's also Panduit, similarly an American network cable brand; looking at it, this carriage is fully loaded with network cables, and for an area of several kilometers in radius, just the wiring is unimaginable."

Subsequently, Li Yalin and Ye Chen scanned the goods in the other carriages as well; basically, they were all from major brands in the security field.

After scanning through, Ye Chen could basically conclude that Duke Mining had not yet established a strong surveillance system, but this batch of equipment represented a huge investment; once this equipment arrives and begins to be used, within a few kilometers of Duke Mining, even a sparrow flying overhead would be detected by the equipment.

Thus, Ye Chen said to Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, have the AI retrieve the transaction details between Moor Trade and that Philips Group to see if we can find an equipment list."

Li Yalin said: "Should be no problem; please wait a moment, I'll operate it."

For the AI, hacking into a system is not difficult; it can find all vulnerabilities of a website or server in the shortest time, then quickly locate the data the user wants.

Soon, the AI system bore fruit; through a small vulnerability in the Philips server, it obtained the transaction details between Philips and Moor Trade.

In the details, there were over a thousand fixed-installation thermal imaging and night vision devices; besides that, there were also a thousand sets of individual handheld devices, and even their most advanced biological early-warning radar was in the procurement list; this should currently be the strongest equipment in the civilian field, and they had purchased six sets at once.

After Ye Chen finished reading the list, he said to Li Yalin: "It seems we have arrived just in time; Duke Mining's security system has not yet been built; taking advantage of this moment, I will tomorrow first infiltrate via the railway, and once inside, I will try to find a way to break through from within."

Li Yalin said: "Mr. Ye, we two have no help in the entire Casablanca; for you alone to deal with such a large garrison of death warriors is already very difficult; without help, the subsequent large-scale transfer will probably be very difficult."

Ye Chen said: "The matter of large-scale transfer cannot be rushed; I want to first go in and see the specific situation; if I can control the situation, then I can slowly think of a way based on actual circumstances."

Saying this, Ye Chen added: "Actually, these days, Isu Shipping has always had ships coming and going from Casablanca Port, but Duke Mining is too far from the port, and I checked—it seems part of the Moroccan military's warships are also docked at Casablanca Port; under the noses of the military, transferring several thousand people out of the country is as difficult as climbing to heaven; truly wanting to evacuate Duke Mining's personnel by sea would be difficult, and we must find another way."

Li Yalin asked him: "If you arrive at Duke Mining and cannot control the situation, what then?"

Ye Chen said: "If the situation cannot be controlled, it's simply that the people inside are uncooperative; logically, they have been enslaved by the Broken Clear Society for generations and should not be uncooperative, but if someone truly is uncooperative, then that person is clearly standing on my opposing side, and I can only treat them as enemies."

After saying this, Ye Chen pointed to the person in charge and said to Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, ask that fellow where the freight yard's distribution cabinet is located; I will first destroy the circuitry here, and once the circuitry is destroyed, it will be impossible to work overnight tonight, and the loading and unloading task will naturally be postponed until tomorrow morning; this way, all the freight trains tomorrow may be affected, at least delayed by six or seven hours; then let the person in charge adjust the priority, and delay the dispatch of this batch of Duke Mining's goods until after four o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
