Chapter 3254

Half an hour later, the first batch of warriors who were to leave this place arrived on the ground via the elevator one after another.

Since they had to march over a hundred kilometers overnight, the elderly and women could not keep up with such intensity, so the warriors brought along children aged between two and ten years old to set out together.

To avoid causing trouble for the evacuation of the elderly and women behind, these warriors planned to carry the young children on their backs while marching, after all, they were all trained martial artists, and Ye Chen did not allow them to carry any luggage or valuables, so carrying a child posed no pressure for them.

These warriors and children, who had never walked out of the mine in a conscious state, did not bother to properly feel their surroundings, but immediately began to form ranks under the organization of their respective squad leaders, and then, under the leadership of the Yingqi Guards, set out for the transfer station.

From here to the food factory purchased by Li Yalin, the entire route was a phosphate-producing area, and by taking a slight detour, they could avoid densely populated areas.

Moreover, since the warriors were martial artists with physical fitness far superior to ordinary people, they avoided the main roads all the way and advanced directly on the gullies piled with phosphates, almost entering an uninhabited area.

Furthermore, the martial artists' keenness was much greater than that of ordinary people, so even if there were people along the way, they could detect them in advance and silently avoid them.

A large number of warriors carrying children ran all the way, and Li Yalin had also arranged for members of the Wanlong Temple to meet them in advance; a few hours later, these warriors arrived at the food factory one after another under the cover of darkness.

At this time, the food factory had already prepared everything needed for their temporary accommodation, and these warriors and children, having lived all their lives under high-intensity military management, were extremely disciplined; over two thousand people arrived one after another, and the entire food factory remained in perfect order, with everyone strictly observing discipline, trying not to speak or move as much as possible, and even necessary communication was deliberately kept in low voices, so even if someone passed by the food factory entrance, they would not believe that over two thousand people were gathered inside at that moment.

All the warriors had arrived at the food factory before dawn; after Li Yalin informed Ye Chen of the situation, Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked him: "Chief Li, how is the situation with the logistics company?"

Li Yalin said: "It has already been purchased, just like the food factory; I signed an installment payment agreement with that boss, leaving him a loophole to exploit, so that after we leave, the logistics company will still belong to him, and he will surely keep the secret."

After saying that, Li Yalin asked him: "Mr. Ye, when are the others preparing to withdraw? I need to arrange vehicles to come and pick them up."

Ye Chen said: "I only found out after purchasing the Skyline that there are remote sensing satellites everywhere in the sky; any country with even a little strength has its own military satellites, and many companies also have their own civilian satellites; these satellites take photos whenever the lighting and visibility are good, so if we set out from Dukang Mining during the day, we might be caught by one of these satellites, which would be too risky, so we have scheduled the transportation for nighttime; you arrange the vehicles, and we will depart for Dukang Mining after dark."

"Alright." Li Yalin said without hesitation: "I have ordered the soldiers of the Wanlong Temple to prepare in advance, and all vehicles will be driven by them."

Ye Chen then asked: "Has the route from the food factory to the sea been arranged?"

"It has been arranged." Li Yalin said: "Isu Shipping almost has ships entering and exiting the Strait of Gibraltar every day; this time, the soldiers brought by the Wanlong Temple Master include some from Morocco and several neighboring countries, and part of them will disguise themselves as job-seeking sailors to mix into the fishing port; I have also arranged several Moroccan soldiers to scout for fishing boats at the dock, and deals can be made consecutively over the next two days; then we can use these fishing boats to transport people to the shipping routes of the cargo ships, and within ten days we can send everyone away."

The soldiers of the Wanlong Temple are numerous; although ethnic Chinese make up more than half, the number of people from other ethnicities is still over ten thousand.

With such a large base, finding some African-descended soldiers is not difficult.

Ye Chen asked him: "How is the situation at the fishing port? Will it attract attention?"

"No." Li Yalin said: "The local fishing port management is already very chaotic, with thousands of big and small fishing boats, most of which belong to fishermen from the surrounding areas; the boat owners have complex backgrounds, with people from all over, and these fishing boats only have small cliques, no large ones; furthermore, since we are arranging locals, they will not attract attention, and besides, the coastal defenses here are very lax; even if the military comes to check, they mainly focus on imported smuggling, so as long as the returning boats have no contraband, they will definitely not be exposed; we can even buy some fish catches in advance from Algerian fishermen at sea, disguise them as our harvest, and surely be able to hide the truth."

"Alright." Ye Chen said: "Even though the number of ships passing through the Strait of Gibraltar every day is not small, even if they follow the clues to the sea, it will basically be like a stone sinking into the ocean; let's do it this way: on the night after tomorrow, everyone will withdraw to the transfer station, and that same midnight we will begin transferring to the sea."

Li Yalin immediately said: "Mr. Ye, rest assured, I will make all preparations and contingency plans for emergencies."

Seeing that Li Yalin had already made everything ready, Ye Chen also put his mind at ease, and then began to arrange the elderly and women; those to be transferred were not only the families of the warriors, but also the families of the Yingqi Guards.

The Yingqi Guards of the Third Battalion had already divided these people into several groups, each group consisting of about eighty members, each group riding in one enclosed cargo truck, requiring only two hours of travel to reach the food factory.

Since the vehicles would only arrive at night, the Yingqi Guards spent the entire day working hard at mining and production.

Ye Chen believed that the warriors, Yingqi Guards, and their families of Dukang Mining would not have any intention to defect; the only one possibly able to defect was Song Ruoyu, after all, I used AI video threats to coerce her into submission, but for her, the best solution to this threat is actually to escape; as long as she can escape, she can report the situation to the Poqinghui, and the AI video would naturally lose its deterrent power over her.

Therefore, Ye Chen required Song Ruoyu to stay with him at all times except when using the toilet, and warned her that she must not leave his side within three meters at any time, otherwise he would completely abolish her cultivation.

Song Ruoyu knew she was no match for Ye Chen, so she could only obediently comply, and Ye Chen himself did not rest; at night he watched the warriors depart one after another, and the rest of the time he closely monitored the production progress, and Song Ruoyu could only be forced to follow him.

At noon, when Ye Chen stood on the high platform, looking at the bustling mining area in the distance, Yin Xiaoyang came to report to Ye Chen, respectfully saying: "Mr. Ye, all the goods on the platform have already been stored, and the phosphate to be shipped this afternoon has already been loaded onto the trucks; this afternoon, the Moroccan National Railway train will pull a string of empty freight cars over, and then pull this fully loaded string of phosphate to Casablanca Port."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Gather all flammable materials together, store them properly, and after leaving, burn this place to ruins."

"Alright!" Yin Xiaoyang said, nodding heavily: "We have our own oil depot, with a storage capacity of over two hundred tons, mostly diesel supplied to these engineering machines, and besides, there are several tens of tons of gasoline; all this fuel is stored in underground oil tanks and can be drawn out at any time."

Ye Chen hummed in acknowledgment and said: "With this much fuel, it is enough to burn this place to ashes."
