Chapter 6861
By day, the cannery was completely silent. Though there were thousands of people in it, the strictest of order was maintained—no one who set foot by the front gates would even notice their presence crammed in such small buildings.To minimize outside attention, Merlin had soundproofed a few buildings where mothers with infants could stay, so their occasional crying fits wouldn't be heard outside the factory.Also, Merlin provided the dead soldiers and their families with mostly instant food to avoid leaving a trail.The cannery already had a large stock of canned sardines, and Merlin had also prepared bread, crackers, luncheon meat, and fresh vegetables that didn't require cooking. Feeding thousands was easy with these, with each person having a fair-sized portion along with drinkable water and a sealable trash bag. After each meal, everyone carefully placed their trash in the bag, which was then collected and sorted by respective team leaders. All the waste that built up over t

At 4 pm, the freight train from the ONCF arrived at Duca Mines as per schedule. Following their usual routine, the armed cavalry guards from the Third Company guided the train onto the platform, detaching the empty freight cars. One of them would guide the driver to reverse the locomotive while others loaded the freight cars.Roy was internally thrilled even as he stood alongside the rest of his company, watching as the train slowly accelerated and pulled out of the platform.Once it left, all that awaited them was the evacuation! Across centuries and generations, they and their forebearers could only dream of escaping the despotic clutches of the Qing Eliminating Society. Now, only a few hours remained for that dream to come true!Nonetheless, the mining machinery was still working even after the train departed.Then, as darkness fell, the armed cavalry guards from the First Company moved everything to the clearing around the office building. Every piece of heavy machinery aft

Penny nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I won't fall behind."Charlie then turned to Porter and said, "You're leading the evacuation tonight. Once the fireworks settle down, lead everyone to the cannery. You don't have to wait for me. I'll catch up."Porter bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Wade!"-At 10 pm, Roy received a call from one of Moore Trading's special envoys, informing him that their convoy had just departed Casablanca and was expected to arrive in Duca Mines by midnight.At the same time, all the armed cavalry guards had completed the final preparations for evacuation, with Roy passing Charlie a remote detonator. "Just press the button, and this will trigger all the explosives that have been placed underground, in the factory, and in the management office simultaneously."The remote control for the wireless detonator resembled a satellite phone in both size and appearance. It had an LCD screen in the center and a long antenna on top, significantly larger than a

The driver quickly pointed out, "Could it be because of the Transition? It's only natural that they had to pause to send off their comrades while waiting for the fresh faces to arrive. With all the adjustments necessary, a pause would simply facilitate the Transition much better.""That's true," Marvin sighed. "And I guess the Transition can be a sensitive period for the armed cavalry guards, if not a bit cruel. I mean, I've worked with Roy for years, and we get along pretty well. I wouldn't mind saying that the sudden change in hierarchy annoys me too, but all we can do is pray that we don't get Transitioned too."One of the men in the back seat asked nervously, "Sir, are you saying it could happen to us?""How should I know?" Marvin sighed in exasperation. "I will only find out if we're getting Transitioned too. Otherwise, there won't be a peep. And if it ever happens to us, we have no choice but to follow orders."The man appeared mournful right then. "My son isn't even a year o

While Marvin was stunned that the huge refinery and mining area would suddenly erupt into a sea of flames, he also knew that something this important had to be reported to the higher-ups right away.That was when the heavy machinery ignited and exploded as well, the force of each detonating fuel tank sending everything hurtling up in the skies, while the entire Duca Mines flared like a colossal display of fireworks.Even as the deafening rumble of further explosions resounded, Marvin filmed everything while avoiding the falling debris. He then promptly called his superior, the deputy governor supervising all special envoys to garrisons. The deputy governor was at the Right Military Governor's office, watching a screen that monitored the progress of the Transition.The various garrisons of the Right Army Governor's Office were marked on the map in bright dots. Above each dot were two arrows, one pointed toward it, and one pointing to another dot.Naturally, the dots represented ea

However, Marvin couldn't do anything after Reuben had given him explicit orders. All he could do was urge the driver to send him the dashcam video along with the videos he had recorded from his own phone, sending everything to Reuben.Reuben didn't immediately contact Arlo as he had said, however.He wasn't at the scene and hadn't seen what had truly happened, so he was waiting to confirm that there was indeed a grave situation before actually reporting to Arlo.And soon, two videos of the scene arrived on his phone, and he was overwhelmed once he watched both, as he never expected it to be that horrific.Judging by the extent of the damage, the entire mining zone must be completely destroyed.The destruction of the dead soldiers' base was already a severe loss. Even then, the more pressing question was whether the armed cavalry guards and the dead soldiers had defected, as theorized when the Cyprus base had turned out empty.So, he called Arlo without another moment's delay, whi

Meanwhile, back at the burning Duca Mines.Marvin was stunned for a solid three seconds when he received the order from Reuben to go into the burning mines and find Praetor Singer.Gazing at the raging inferno, he muttered, "How the hell do we even get in?"Even as he finished, the massive steel frame of the refinery, melting under heat and pressure, collapsed with a resounding metallic groan. The inferno inside seemed stifled for a moment, but the flames soon rocketed up in the air, higher than the height of the refinery itself.After hesitating for several seconds, Marvin sighed and sent a video in reply. "Sir, it's not that I don't want to go in, but I can't even get close to those flames!"Naturally, his report was swiftly relayed to Arlo, who had no choice but to agree that charging in was foolish as he watched the video.Not even the fires in a crematorium furnace could match the level of searing heat in Duca Mines' inferno. Now, the most pressing task was for him to repo

Therefore, it was only natural for Arlo to call Tarlon 'Gramps'.Upon hearing about the situation, Tarlon immediately demanded, "Has the mysterious foe struck again? Shouldn't he have attacked Nigeria instead?!""No!" Arlo cried, utterly aggrieved. "The mysterious foe must have seen through our plan. That’s why he never came to Nigeria, even after all this time. Although the three elders are in seclusion, they take turns using Reiki to survey the surrounding area almost every hour, and they have never noticed the presence of any cultivators. And just now, I was called about our dead soldier base in Morocco… It was destroyed, and even Penny's whereabouts are unknown..."Tarlon exclaimed, "What?! Penny Singer was there, too?! Why?! Shouldn't she be in your base?!"Arlo explained, "I just thought she should gain some experience and see the world… It was just a formality at best, but I didn't expect something like this..."Tarlon paced anxiously around the room, immediately angry and

At this moment, Fleur was in seclusion in her personal residence at the deepest point of her Antarctic island, over three hundred meters below sea level.Fleur had chosen to establish the Qing Eliminating Society's base in such a remote location for isolation and security, not to mention that the environment was more suitable for cultivation.Over the recent years, Fleur had rarely spent her time in extended seclusions, each lasting from a few days to several months—unlike the three elders, who remained in seclusion for years.Still, the reason Fleur avoided extended retreats wasn't because she was paranoid about a coup in the Qing Eliminating Society. It was simply the fact that she was aging, and therefore, it was actually becoming increasingly difficult for her to concentrate on her cultivation. Eighty percent of her five hundred years had already passed, and she still hadn't found the recipe for the Infinite Pill. While it might seem like she had another hundred years left, it

Tarlon gathered himself before speaking grimly, "Arlo called… The Dead Soldiers base in Morocco. It's… completely destroyed..."Fleur looked stupefied. "Morocco?!"Tarlon nodded. "Yes. I've seen videos. The base was completely destroyed."Fleur bellowed, "It must be that pest again! Shouldn't he have attacked Nigeria?!""No," Tarlon shook her head. "I've asked Arlo. The three elders have been monitoring the base in Nigeria since we began, but no one who could manipulate Reiki ever showed up. I think they must have seen through our trap and deliberately avoided Nigeria by targeting Morocco."Fleur's face was ashen as murderous intent spilled from her, and she growled, "When he saw that Nigeria was a trap, he deliberately chose Morocco because it's not that far away. They mean to provoke us! Just because they can!"Under these circumstances, Tarlon was afraid even to flatter or soften the blow. He simply nodded and said, "Yes, I agree. Our mysterious foe is stronger than we belie
