Chapter 292 Underground Metallurgical Plant
292
Tang Yue looked around and had to admit that the Miyazaki family was really meticulous in their work.
The entrance was half-hidden by a huge stone slab. If it weren't for Tang Yue's keen observation, it would have been difficult to discover this inconspicuous place.
Tang Yue carefully moved the stone slab aside, a damp, decaying smell hitting her face. She frowned, then leaped in without hesitation. The passage was pitch black, pitch black. Tang Yue channeled her spiritual energy, condensing a soft light in her palm, illuminating the path ahead.
The walls of the passage were made of rough stones, covered with moss and water stains. From time to time, drops of water fell from overhead and gathered into small puddles on the ground.
Tang Yue walked slowly along the passage, her footsteps echoing clearly in the silence. She could sense that this passage had existed for a long time, and every stone seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time.
As she walked, Tang Yue discovered some strange symbols and patterns on the walls of the passage. These symbols and patterns were deeply engraved, and although they had been eroded by time, they were still clearly visible.
Tang Yue stopped and carefully observed the symbols, trying to find some clues. However, these symbols did not seem to be made by a single person and looked disorganized. Tang Yue did not find any useful clues.
If all these symbols were put together, she had never seen them before and could not decipher their meaning for a moment.
Just as Tang Yue was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the front. She narrowed her eyes, extinguished the light of her spiritual power, and disappeared into the darkness. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Tang Yue held her breath and extended her consciousness outward.
The footsteps grew closer, and when the figures came into view, Tang Yue saw their faces clearly—they were members of the Miyazaki family. Their eyes revealed ferocity and vigilance, and they held various weapons in their hands, clearly coming prepared.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our territory!" the leading man shouted, his voice echoing in the passage. Tang Yue didn't answer. She knew that any words would be superfluous at this moment.
She flashed and rushed towards the enemy like a ghost, the weapon in her hand made a sharp sound and pierced straight into the throat of the leading man.
The man obviously did not expect Tang Yue's movement to be so fast. He quickly dodged sideways, but he was still a step too slow. His arm was scratched by Tang Yue's weapon and blood gushed out instantly.
"Everyone be careful, this is a powerful character!" The man shouted while covering his wound. The other members of the Miyazaki family immediately gathered around and surrounded Tang Yue.
Tang Yue was surrounded, but she showed no fear. She skillfully used her body movements to move freely between the enemies, and each of her attacks was precise and ruthless, each one deadly.
The enemy's attacks seemed to be half a beat slower in her eyes. She could always dodge them easily and then give the enemy a heavy counterattack.
The anger in Tang Yue's eyes grew more and more intense. Thinking of Miyazaki Feng's words, the depression in Tang Yue's heart could not be dispelled.
"Most of the metallurgical people were brought here from China through various channels, and some were Chinese people in Japan who were lured here. But not all of them were brought here by the Miyazaki family. Many of them were bought by them with some money."
"Let them go? How can that be possible? Those Chinese were born as slaves of Japan. How could I possibly let them go? I must squeeze every last bit of value out of them and then throw them into the charnel house."
"Those who can't work while they're alive? They're the owners of the morgue. In there, they'll die sooner or later."
"The smell? Don't worry. Japan has the world's most advanced experts in pathogen research. They can control those corpses from rotting and stinking."
Tang Yue didn't know how to describe her mood at that time. At this moment, Tang Yue's moves were fierce, and every move took lives.
However, the members of the Miyazaki family were no pushovers. They worked in perfect harmony, providing timely support. Without using their spiritual power, Tang Yue struggled to break through their encirclement.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the sound of weapons clashing and people shouting could be heard continuously in the passage.
The Miyazaki family, led by the leader, knew that this person might be the one who kidnapped the patriarch. No matter what, they must catch her today, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to find where the patriarch is.
Also, this is not a place where outsiders can come. How did this person find this place? The secrets here must not be taken out by outsiders.
As Tang Yue was engaged in a fierce battle with her enemy, she suddenly felt something strange on the ground beneath her feet. Startled, she realized it might be a trap. She immediately leaped, trying to avoid danger.
However, she was still a step too late. The ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge pit appeared under her feet. Her body fell rapidly.
At the moment of falling, Tang Yue quickly adjusted her body shape, circulated her spiritual power to slow down her descent, and at the same time released her consciousness. However, before she could be shocked by what she saw, her attention was attracted by the dark crowd below.
Tang Yue gritted her teeth. How many people are there in the Miyazaki family?
She didn't have time to think about anything else because the enemies had surrounded her and were ready to launch a new round of attacks on her.
Tang Yue took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside her doubts, and focusing on dealing with the enemy in front of her. She didn't want to waste time at this moment. Even if her spiritual power was exhausted, she still had to destroy these filthy places.
She activated her spiritual power, and the weapon in her hand shone brightly, launching another fierce attack on the enemy. The members of the Miyazaki family were a little afraid of Tang Yue's tenacity, but they also knew that they could not let Tang Yue escape, otherwise the family secret would be revealed.
Every time Tang Yue swung the weapon in her hand, a large number of Miyazaki family members fell. As the members of the Miyazaki family fell one by one, the blood dyed the bottom of the trap red.
Until the last member of the Miyazaki family fell, all around was silent. Tang Yue turned her gaze to the gold bricks piled high around her. She couldn't estimate the weight of these gold bricks at the moment, but she was not happy at all.
She could not forget what Miyazaki Feng had said. However, these were all made by the dead Chinese compatriots with their own hands, so how could they be left to these damned Heike clan members?
Tang Yue waved her hand and all the gold bricks disappeared.
Tang Yue knew this storage room wasn't the only place the gold bricks were kept. With mixed feelings, she embarked on another exploration. Perhaps because of what happened in Guanqi County today, those people were the only ones left protecting the gold bricks.
Setting out again, Tang Yue didn't see a single living soul. The underground metallurgical plant was massive, its passages intricate, like a vast maze. Tang Yue moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, keeping a close eye on every corner.
In a hidden corner, she found a room sealed by a heavy iron door. Tang Yue gathered all her strength and pushed the door open, and a stale smell hit her face.
After adjusting to the dimness of the room, she peered over to see neatly stacked rows of gold bricks, gleaming with a cold sheen in the dim light. Tang Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. These gold bricks embodied the blood and tears of countless Chinese compatriots. She was too late!
After collecting the gold bricks, Tang Yue continued on her way. At the end of a narrow passage, she found another gold brick storage location.
The gold bricks here were piled haphazardly on the ground, as if they had been placed there in a hurry. Tang Yue looked around and thought to herself that the Miyazaki family had gone to great lengths to hide these ill-gotten gains.
In her subsequent explorations, she discovered several gold brick storage locations, some large and some small, with countless gold bricks. This made Tang Yue feel even more deeply the greed and cruelty of the Miyazaki family, and their plundering of wealth had reached an outrageous level.
As Tang Yue explored further, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie. She walked through a narrow passage, where dim lights flickered on the walls on either side, their shadows stretching her outward.
Suddenly, a faint smell entered her nostrils.
