"Take these pills. Give one to anyone who is conscious. Don't worry about the others for now."

"Hmm, Tang Yue, how do we leave? If we go down the mountain, we'll definitely be discovered with so many of us."

Tang Yue's gaze was fixed on the distance, far beyond the reach of Hege Spring. The people sent by the Emperor had suddenly disappeared, and the entire experimental base had been destroyed. She thought, no ruler could tolerate such a thing happening.

So, they're definitely going to get their revenge. Tang Yue sighed. She wanted to give them a way out, but they insisted on courting disaster. There was nothing she could do about it.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yue had an idea. "It's okay, as long as we want to leave, no one can stop us. However, we'll just have to stay at sea for a few days."

Tang Jianye...

He didn't quite understand Tang Yue's meaning, but the little girl had her own ideas. Tang Jianye had no say in the matter and could only listen to what others said.

"Then? Where should we go first?"

“Hegequan should be completely sealed off.” Tang Yue casually pointed to a hollow in the hills. “That place looks good and safe. You take the people there to rest first, and we’ll leave together after I’m done here.”

Tang Jianye looked down at the valley between the two mountains opposite. Although the terrain there seemed to be a little flatter than other places, the location was hardly good.

Putting aside the fact that their own reconnaissance work was exhausting, the view from such a high altitude would expose them at a glance.

"What? You don't believe it's a good place?"

Tang Yue chose that location because it's close to the sea, just a few kilometers away. Moreover, the roads there are much easier to travel compared to other places.

Tang Jianye wanted to say something was wrong, but before he could speak, Tang Yue spoke again, "As long as you stay within the area I've designated, I'll say it's okay and it's okay."

Tang Jianye struggled to process what Tang Yue had said, and he asked weakly, "If, and I mean if, Japanese planes flew over our heads, would we just stay there obediently?"

"Hmm." Tang Yue also thought of a question: what if the emperor got so angry because the laboratory was bombed that he ordered several planes to bomb the mountains around Hegequan?

If it were that violent? Tang Yue did the math; she figured she could still make it back in time. After all, using her spiritual power, she could get back from here to Hegequan's port in ten minutes.

Moreover, she was aiming for a quick victory this time. Looking up at the sky, she thought, "Hmm, it'll be dark soon, perfect timing. Let's go."

Tang Yue was going to set up the formation, and by the time they all reached that place, it would be completely dark. Even if that emperor was insane, wouldn't he have to think things through?

They set up an array in the low-lying area. Tang Jianye and the others couldn't understand what Tang Yue was doing. They just saw her walk around casually and throw a few stones in different places.

"Alright, don't touch the things I put here. Also, stay within this designated area. I'll be back soon."

Tang Jianye had no choice but to agree. Tang Yue disappeared from sight shortly after leaving. She headed straight for the orchards she had come up the mountain from. She hadn't forgotten those fruit trees. Although they were almost bare of fruit, she was sure they would grow more next year.

Having harvested fruit trees from three mountains in one go, Tang Yue was finally somewhat satisfied. Afterwards, all the areas around Hegequan suffered damage. Tang Yue first went to the Wuling Electric Machinery Plant.

She had heard the name Wuling from several elders in the underground research institute. They'd heard it was a very powerful motor manufacturer.

How could she possibly hesitate? She could have taken advantage of the darkness—though she could have done it during the day—but she was afraid the people's hearts wouldn't be able to handle it if something vanished into thin air in broad daylight.

It's fine as it is now.

Tang Yue's experience at Wuling Electric Machinery Research Institute was quite eye-opening. Besides collecting everything from each workshop, she also thoroughly inspected the warehouse, offices, and archives.

What delighted Tang Yue most was the presence of several supercomputers; she was ecstatic. Besides that, she also noticed a considerable number of books in the offices, which she also greatly appreciated.

With a wave of her hand, the entire Wuling Electric Works was practically emptied. Tang Yue didn't have time to linger; the steel, chemical, and timber industries around Hegequan were all highly developed. Tang Yue didn't miss a single one of these places.

China is truly lacking in everything. With these things, who knows how many more good things could be produced? Especially books; Tang Yue wouldn't leave them a single one of the books she saw.

There were also several food processing plants. From afar, Tang Yue could smell the fresh, sweet aroma of fruit. She had already eaten a lot of delicious food in Japan recently, but she still couldn't resist these.

Tang Yue's mind seemed to be constantly swirling with one word: "to withdraw."

Tang Yue was still savoring the contents of He Gequan's possessions, but she could hear the rumbling in the sky. For the sake of those people's safety, she couldn't waste too much time here.

The array she set up could withstand most things, but she hadn't tested it on missiles. The people of this world are truly amazing. Despite not having indestructible physiques, they've managed to develop weapons with such destructive power.

Actually, Tang Yue was still somewhat intimidated by large-scale weapons of mass destruction like bombs and missiles. She felt that with her current strength, escaping wouldn't be a big problem, but taking people with her was uncertain.

The roar of airplanes swept over Hege Spring, heading straight for the experimental base in the mountains. Tang Yue's lips curled slightly. So, the Emperor isn't hiding the location of the germ lab anymore?

They came all this way with such fanfare; they must be really furious. Tang Yue didn't stop, breaking off a piece of tangerine and stuffing it into her mouth before rushing straight towards the port of Hegequan.
