Chapter 716 Piggy
It will be cloudy tonight with only faint starlight.
Fortunately, Su Chen had excellent eyesight and could still see several large trucks parked on the highway, even though they were dozens of meters away.
Next to the truck, there were also more than a dozen burly men standing.
The group that kidnapped Uncle Long reunited with the other side.
"Why are there only a few people?"
A short, thin man appeared to be the leader of the group.
Seeing that the big men had only brought back Uncle Long and four others, he said with some dissatisfaction.
"Director Liu, it's not that we're being lazy; we've already searched the nearby counties four or five times."
"The survivors inside have basically all been captured."
The burly man who was leading the group explained with a wry smile.
"I can't worry about that. How am I supposed to explain to the chairman if I don't catch enough people?"
The short, thin man, referred to as Director Liu, said coldly.
Hearing their conversation, Su Chen's heart stirred.
Chairman?
Are all these people from Mingyuan Group?
Su Chen suddenly remembered that when Fan Debiao contacted him before, he had mentioned that the Sanctuary of Zeus required Zhang Jinghui to send Chinese people there for human experimentation.
If that's the case, then those missing survivors have nothing to do with monsters; it must have been the work of the Mingyuan Group!
The Mingyuan Group arrested these people and handed them over to the Zeus Sanctuary!
Su Chen's face instantly turned gloomy.
In a post-apocalyptic world, there's nothing wrong with being selfish if you want to survive.
Given the power of the Mingyuan Group, there shouldn't be any problems with its survival.
But for their own selfish desires, they betrayed their compatriots to foreigners for human experimentation, which is going too far!
"It's still early, you can continue searching for survivors!"
"We must capture two hundred people tonight and get them all on the ship!"
Director Liu gave the order impatiently.
"Yes, Director Liu!"
The burly man responded helplessly.
He and his men opened the truck's cargo door and shoved Uncle Long and his men inside.
The group then started the car and drove off on the road, swaying and bumping.
After a moment's thought, Su Chen decided to hold off on taking action for the time being.
Because Director Liu mentioned that all these people should be put on the ship.
It's likely that Zhao Jun's men, who were captured, are still on the so-called ship.
I can follow them first and see where Mingyuan Group's ships are docked.
Thinking of this, Su Chen used the Cloud Ladder Leap.
In the darkness, his figure moved like a ghost, catching up with several large trucks from the Mingyuan Group at an extremely fast speed.
Taking advantage of the other party's inattention, Su Chen placed a tracker on one of the trucks.
He returned to the city, picked up Mengqi, and then, following the tracking signal, leisurely followed the Mingyuan Group's convoy.
Director Liu and his entourage soon arrived at the next county town.
He sent out several more teams of his men to search for survivors in the county town.
Any survivors who were discovered met the same fate as Uncle Long and his companions.
They were first knocked to the ground, then dragged back into the carriage.
It seemed that they had captured enough survivors, so Director Liu and his team did not go to any other county, but instead headed east.
Su Chen followed behind their convoy, leaving Zhongqi Province and entering Dongpan Province.
He had originally thought that Director Liu and the others would return to Mingyuan Group's base.
But unexpectedly, their convoy continued eastward.
After driving for another two or three hours, the signal on the tracker showed that the other party had stopped.
Su Chen waited for a while and saw that the signal still hadn't moved at all.
It seems they have arrived at their destination.
"Wait for me here."
Su Chen patted Meng Qi's head and, taking advantage of the darkness, quickly moved towards the signal's location.
When he crossed a small hill, the scene that came into view immediately surprised him.
The location where the Mingyuan Group's convoy was parked should have been a city.
The reason for using the word "originally" is that a large part of the city was submerged by the sea.
Only the areas closer to the west, where the terrain is higher, are still exposed!
Su Chen snapped out of his surprise and quickly figured out the reason.
It must be the previous high temperatures and torrential rains that caused the sea level to rise, and the coastal areas were submerged by the sea.
I just didn't expect it to be this extreme, with the seawater reaching such a deep place.
Su Chen picked up a pair of binoculars with night vision and looked around the area.
Soon, it was discovered that Mingyuan Group's convoy was parked at the beach not far away.
Director Liu and the group of burly men were also standing on the beach, gazing out to sea from time to time.
Su Chen bent down and quietly moved closer to Director Liu and his group.
"Have you notified the ship that it's on board?"
"Director Liu, we've already notified them. They should be here in a little while."
"Damn, I'm exhausted. Let's finish this quickly so we can go back to the company and get some sleep!"
Just as Director Liu and the others were talking, several lights suddenly lit up on the dark sea.
As the lights drew closer, Su Chen gradually realized that it was a huge cargo ship.
The cargo ship stopped some distance from the shore.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that someone used ice-based abilities.
The seawater quickly froze, forming a pier connecting the land and the ship.
A group of people walked along the ice bridge and came from the boat to Director Liu.
"Mr. Pete, it's so nice to see you!"
Director Liu quickly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Mr. Pete was tall and big, with blond hair and blue eyes; you could tell at a glance he was a foreigner.
Despite Director Liu's overtures, Pete remained indifferent.
"Director Liu, did you deliver enough piglets today?"
"Well...we only have 160 people today..."
Director Liu looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Is this how your Mingyuan Group does things?"
Pete's face darkened, and he said impatiently,
"As previously agreed, you need to deliver three thousand piglets within a week!"
"But now a week has passed, and there are still less than two thousand piglets!"
"Do you believe I'll go to your chairman?"
Upon hearing this, Director Liu panicked and hurriedly said,
"Mr. Pete, please don't be angry!"
"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that the entire Dongpan province is flooded."
"Most of the survivors fled to Zhongqi Province."
"Zhongqi Province is the Watchers' territory, so we can't make a big show of it; we can only do it small..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pete rudely interrupted him.
"You don't need to explain to me!"
"I'll give you a maximum of one more week. If you can't do it, I'll complain to your chairman!"
"Alright, get all those damned piglets out of the carriage and onto the ship!"
Behind Pitt stood another group of burly men.
They were wearing identical black uniforms with a common white lightning bolt pattern.
Upon hearing Pete's instructions, these men immediately stepped forward and opened the doors of the Mingyuan Group's convoy.
