Chapter 398 The City is Empty
398
The bearded worker watched the pile of raw materials disappear in an instant, and the expression on his face instantly went out of control. His eyes were as big as copper bells and his mouth was wide open as if an egg could fit in.
He stood there, his mind blank, and after a few seconds he suddenly came to his senses, but he felt that he was hallucinating and that such a thing could not happen. He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, turning around to tell his coworkers about his bizarre experience.
"Hey, guess what happened? I found those raw materials..." He hadn't even finished his sentence when he was stunned by the scene before him. The site, once filled with various building materials, was now completely empty. He seemed to have never realized that the building materials factory was so large.
The places where various machines were placed before are now empty. There is nothing on the site of the building materials factory except some waste materials and workers who are stuck in place like wooden sticks.
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and the stunned crowd came back to their senses.
A young worker standing very close to the bearded man rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. He muttered to himself, "Oh my God! What on earth is going on? Can anyone tell me why all the things have disappeared?"
Normally, if only a small amount of things were missing, they would look at each other and make a few jokes. They knew that it must have been taken away, but everyone was the same and no one would say anything.
But what was happening before their eyes was too bizarre. They were all wondering if they had committed some heinous crime. Was this God punishing them?
Some timid workers have begun to pray devoutly, asking God to forgive their sins.
A few brave workers refused to believe it and began to search around the factory. They went around every corner, shouting in the hope of finding the missing building materials.
"Hey, where are you all? Come out quickly!" However, the only response they received was the echo from the empty factory.
Upon hearing the news, the factory manager rushed over. Looking at the devastated factory, his face instantly turned livid, veins bulging on his forehead. He roared angrily, "What the hell is going on? Can someone explain it to me?" The workers looked at each other in bewilderment, no one daring to speak.
"Is someone sabotaging something?" the person in charge said gritting his teeth, "Call the police immediately and get to the bottom of this matter!" After saying that, a young man who came with him quickly ran back to the office to prepare to make a phone call.
When he ran to the office, he felt that he had come to the wrong place, because the office was empty, with nothing in it. If it weren't for some stains on the white wall that proved that this room had been used before, the young man would not have believed that this office had contributed to the building materials factory for more than ten years.
The entire building materials factory fell into chaos and panic.
Things like this kept happening to Tang Yue along the way.
Inside the Northeast Army, after a day and night of interrogation, Division Commander Qin and several regimental commanders were utterly devastated. The Russians were truly abject. They had deployed numerous spies throughout China, and according to their confessions, countless cultural relics had been siphoned out of China.
At this time, Commander Qin was holding a meeting in the conference room.
"This incident is so egregious that it has alarmed the higher-ups. They've declared that no one should be spared. Immediately, a 'lice-wiping team' will be established to specifically target these tomb-robbing gangs.
In addition, all military regions will cooperate in cracking down on spies. Comrades, our country was founded not long ago. It is like a baby learning to walk. Therefore, comrades, please work hard to protect it and help it grow."
"When it grows into a strong and healthy young man, no one will dare to bully us anymore."
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Chang Yin was among them, and they also received a mission. Chang Yin will lead the team from north to south to crack down on several tomb-robbing gangs involved in the cultural relics smuggling chain.
"Battalion Commander, will we come back here after the mission?" Sun Jinan asked worriedly.
"No, we will go back directly to South Island."
Sun Jinan looked tangled, "Battalion Commander, if the company commander really went to Russia, and we all left, then she..."
Chang Yin had a blank expression on his face. "She can find her own way back to South Island." He didn't know what was going on with the little girl. He had sent her messages several times but received no reply. He wondered what she was busy with.
Chang Yin rubbed his fingers together. Actually, he wanted to go and see it too. But he was organized and disciplined, and he would never do something like following the stowaways across the border.
Chang Yin couldn't wait for news from Tang Yue, but the next day he knew Tang Yue's approximate route.
When Tang Yue returned to the car, the air pressure inside was extremely low because General Igorevich had received news in a city he had just passed. After they left the army, the army was looted.
Furthermore, the farms and cities along their route seemed to be cursed, with each city being looted. Private homes were spared, while public property was completely wiped out.
That wasn't all. They'd also lost a lot of confidential data. Igorevich felt a chill run down his spine. "Anatole, do you feel any changes in the car?"
Anatoly immediately became alert. He began to drive while carefully sensing the changes in the car. There was no other way. Three days ago, several of their cars stalled at the same time. After checking for a long time, they found that there was a problem with some of the wiring.
However, the problem with each car was different, otherwise they would have suspected that this was a planned conspiracy. However, no one came to rob their goods, which made everyone dispel their suspicions.
After driving a few kilometers, he said, "General, I don't notice anything wrong with the car. Do you feel anything different?"
Igorevich couldn't tell what the feeling was, or was it the same as before, he felt like someone was sitting next to him again. However, he couldn't see anything.
After several days of continuous harvesting, Tang Yue was still very tired, and her mental energy was extremely exhausted. Fortunately, there was still spiritual energy in Maozi Country. Although it was not as rich as in ordinary places in China, there was still a supply.
However, mental power is different from spiritual power. Constantly collecting things was draining her mental power. She planned to rest for a day. She also knew she couldn't continue. She had just heard some rumors. After all, escorting cultural relics was a top secret. With the cities along the way experiencing incidents one after another, there was no guarantee they would connect the two events.
General Igorevich was thinking this very thing. He was considering that if things in the next city they were about to pass through suddenly disappeared again, he would have to change his route.
Just like that, the next city was saved safely. Tang Yue slept for 5 hours, during which time she passed two cities and several farms. She felt a pang in her heart.
She always felt like she was going to get her hands on her. So Tang Yue went out again, but this time she went directly to a city not far from the city along the route to commit the crime. It is worth mentioning that Tang Yue has been visiting museums in various cities in the past few days.
Since the Russians were unkind, she could only be unjust. As for whether or not China would display the items after taking them back, that wasn't something she needed to consider at the moment.
When Tang Yue returned, General Igorevich's face was filled with a relieved smile. Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. This guy had been acting like a thief the entire time, his five senses were incredibly sharp. Sometimes, even when she wasn't looking at him, he seemed to sense it, but now, it was as if he had let go of a burden?
Then there is only one possibility, they are about to arrive.
Tang Yue made up her mind that she must find a Chinese who could speak Maozi, otherwise she would not know what these people were plotting.
