Chapter 3251: United as One, Unbreakable as a City Wall
Ye Chen spoke in a calm tone, and his words instantly stirred up a storm among the crowd.
Yin Xiaoyang had just told them about the great blood exchange, and at this very moment, everyone harbored a deep hatred for the Poqing Association; suddenly, a stranger appeared, offering them a chance to escape the Poqing Association's control, and aside from Yin Xiaoyang, everyone else wore expressions of utter disbelief.
After all, escaping the Poqing Association's control was not merely about fleeing this place.
Most importantly, they had to remove the strange poison from their bodies; otherwise, even if they managed to escape, they would inevitably drop dead within a few days.
At this moment, Yin Xiaoyang spoke: "Comrades, the reason I gathered everyone here is to discuss a grand plan with this Mr.; he braved danger to come deep into this place, intending to lead all of us, including the death warriors, out of here, and he will also remove the strange poison from our bodies; thus, we will no longer be enslaved by the Poqing Association, nor will we be separated from our families; I wonder if you are willing to join me in responding?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately became excited.
One person stood up and shouted loudly: "Commander Yin! All the brothers have followed you all the way here; as long as you give the word, no matter what we do, I, Li Jianghe, will obey without condition!"
Another person also spoke: "Commander Yin, as long as my family's safety is ensured, I, Han Zhengguang, am willing to lay down my life and spill my brains on the ground!"
As everyone expressed their stance, Ye Chen could see that these elite cavalrymen cared little for their own lives; almost everyone only cared about their family's safety, and as long as that was guaranteed, they would rush to die without hesitation.
Seeing that everyone had declared their stance, Yin Xiaoyang immediately said to Ye Chen: "Mr., from this moment on, I and all my brothers will follow your commands."
The crowd immediately shouted in unison: "We will follow Mr.'s commands!"
Ye Chen nodded and said: "My surname is Ye; you may call me Mr. Ye, because the great blood exchange will begin in three days, and we must transfer everyone out of here in an orderly manner within three days; since this place must continue operating and continue supplying finished phosphates to Moor Trade, we need all the elite cavalrymen responsible for production to work at full speed to accelerate production; at the same time, I will first evacuate the death warriors and their families from here, then evacuate the families of all elite cavalrymen, and finally the elite cavalrymen themselves; the entire process must be carried out swiftly and in an orderly fashion, and the most important thing is your cooperation, so Commander Yin must assign duties reasonably, and all of you here must fully cooperate."
After speaking, he took out a Huichun Dan and a Peiyuan Dan, then fetched a bottle of drinking water from the corner of the meeting room, took a small amount from each pill, and placed them into the water; he then turned to Ruoyu Song beside him and said: "Please bring me some water cups."
Ruoyu Song immediately turned and fetched some disposable water cups; Ye Chen poured the water mixed with the pills into the cups, each cup receiving only a small half-cup, and then said to Yin Xiaoyang and the others: "Drink this cup of water, and the poison in your bodies will be removed."
The crowd passed the water cups along hesitantly, and under Yin Xiaoyang's lead, they all drank them down in one go.
Immediately afterward, they felt that the fierce poison mixed with their true qi had rapidly disintegrated in an extremely short time.
In its place arose a very vigorous and natural energy.
The poison that Wu Feiyan had administered to the death warriors and elite cavalrymen, strictly speaking, was an uncontrolled mixture of true qi and spiritual qi, with true qi making up the vast majority and only a small amount of spiritual qi mixed in.
When this mixture of true qi and spiritual qi resided in their bodies, it could enhance their combat effectiveness, but true qi itself was a time bomb; if they failed to take the antidote on time, the true qi would attack their meridians and internal organs, causing them to drop dead instantly.
Ye Chen's pills contained pure true qi and a small amount of spiritual qi; after consumption, the two would jointly act upon the uncontrolled true qi, completely disintegrating it.
That uncontrolled true qi had long become the shackles imprisoning their souls and bodies; they could constantly feel the presence of those shackles, so when the shackles instantly disintegrated, they immediately realized that the shackles that had resided in their bodies since birth had finally vanished completely at this moment.
For a moment, the crowd was overjoyed, and many even embraced each other in tears.
They, and their ancestors, had spent their entire lives wishing for nothing more than to break these shackles.
Unfortunately, because the poison contained a hint of spiritual qi, these martial artists could not break it through their own strength alone; only by using stronger spiritual qi could they neutralize the poison.
Although Ye Chen's strength was far inferior to Wu Feiyan's, Wu Feiyan had to control too many people, and to conserve spiritual qi, she had left only a trace of spiritual qi in the bodies of these elite cavalrymen and death warriors; for Ye Chen, detoxifying them was not difficult.
Yin Xiaoyang's heart surged with excitement; he had originally doubted whether Ye Chen could detoxify them, but after experiencing it firsthand, he now had no lingering worries.
He therefore stepped forward first, knelt on one knee before Ye Chen, clasped his hands, and said: "Mr. Ye's great kindness and virtue, I shall never forget in this lifetime!"
Others immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee as well.
Ye Chen said: "Time is pressing; everyone, hurry and lead your subordinates to accelerate production; Commander Yin, come with me to see the death warriors here."
Yin Xiaoyang immediately replied: "Alright, Mr. Ye."
After speaking, he told the others: "Tell the brothers to exert themselves fully in mining and production; Han Qianhu, you will transfer all the brothers of the Third Battalion to the mining area to support them, first assist the First Battalion in mining, then assist the Second Battalion in production!"
Han Qianhu was none other than Han Zhengguang, who had just pledged loyalty to Ye Chen; he is the Qianhu of the Third Battalion and the top officer of the Third Battalion; at Dukemining, the Third Battalion mainly handles security, transportation, loading/unloading, and maintenance of these support tasks; his troops are agile and mobile, and recently his personnel have mainly been busy building watchtowers in the mining area and installing subsequent monitoring equipment.
However, these tasks can now be completely halted, allowing him to redeploy his personnel to support the mining area, and if everyone increases their work intensity, the mining work for the next three days can be completed within 24 hours.
Thus, in the next 24 hours, we can focus our efforts on the refining plant's production; as long as the refining plant can produce the full capacity for the next three days within the upcoming 48 hours, then the day after tomorrow we can evacuate the vast majority of the elite cavalrymen, leaving only Han Zhengguang with a loading/unloading team to load the final shipment of phosphates and complete the handover and delivery with Morocco's national railway.
Han Qianhu immediately said: "Commander Yin, rest assured; I will personally lead the brothers of the Third Battalion to the mining area to support them!"
Yin Xiaoyang nodded and shouted loudly: "From this moment on, all brothers must unite as one and give their all; whether our families and descendants can escape the fate of being prisoners for hundreds of years depends on the next three days!"
