Chapter 1877: Chapter 980: A Note
Countdown 12:00:00.
Qing Chen glanced at his arm out of the corner of his eye, only 12 hours left until the crossing.
He didnāt plan to confront these more than two hundred armed thugs head-on, especially since they had heavy machine guns, which looked incredibly menacing.
How could he have ever seen such a scene back in high school?!
At this moment, Qing Chen stood by the wooden table with a scarf over his face, pressing the white powder into powdered bricks with practiced skill.
While others took half an hour to make square bricks, he could finish the task in just ten minutes. The bandits saw his enthusiasm for work and even allowed him to eat with them, considering him a potential key figure for cultivation...
In the distance, a bandit shouted, "Open the village gate quickly; the bosses are here!"
The wooden-fenced village was in a hubbub as the bandits opened the gate, letting in seven off-road vehicles, all with wheels smeared with rain-soaked mud.
A group of Black people jumped out of the vehicles. Qing Chen felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with these people, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldnāt recall where he had seen them before.
These Black people were each strange-looking, with some having antennae on their heads and others having barbs on their arms, looking particularly terrifying and grotesque.
Seeing this, Qing Chen became even more cautious...
The leader of the Black individuals said, "Initially, we were worried that robbing the business of the three major Cartels would make us their target, but we didnāt expect the Parentsā Meeting to wipe them all out in two days..."
"Weāre Time Travelers; we donāt need to fear the three major Cartels that much, after all, weāre all Genetic Warriors, destined to unify the Cartels in Mexico sooner or later."
"Iām not afraid of the three major Cartels; Iām afraid of the Parentsā Meeting... In the Battle of Guatemala, the Polar Night organization had over a thousand members, and only a few of us survived," the leader said. "Have you heard? They even broke into Alan Gail Prison and killed the Cartel."
The news of the Parentsā Meeting annihilating the Mexican Cartels has become global mediaās front-page headline, and now on Twitter, thereās a vote requesting the Parentsā Meeting to eliminate the Golden Triangle and all other drug production sources.
Ordinary People are thrilled by the news, but drug traffickers feel afraid, mainly because the Parentsā Meetingās method of eradicating root and branch is too ruthless, even hiding in prison isnāt safe.
Clearly, the Parentsā Meeting has become a nightmare for black market organizations in both the Inner and Outer Worlds.
At this moment, a subordinate approached the Black leader and said, "Boss, weāve already distributed a new batch of goods here. With the three major Cartels gone, itās the perfect opportunity to seize the market. Iāve heard the prices in Europe have doubled!"
But the Black leader kicked him in the chest, sending him flying over ten meters.
Qing Chen was shocked, is he that powerful?!
The Black leader said coldly, "Who allowed you to distribute goods privately? With the Parentsā Meeting watching us, we must be more cautious. For now, keep the goods stocked without distribution. If they find us, we might be wiped out."
The shadow cast by the Parentsā Meeting on their hearts canāt be erased.
Someone nearby said, "Itās strange, I feel theyāre not trying to combat crime, but what are they doing?"
The Black leader said, "It doesnāt matter, we just need to hide better."
He scanned the factory with his eyes, seeing nothing unusual, and then walked straight into the depths of the village.
This drug manufacturing factory had been established not long ago, which is why it needed new labor to work, making it fish that escaped the Parentsā Meetingās crackdown on illegal activities.
And these remnants of the Polar Night organization, after the Parentsā Meetingās siege in Guatemala and hearing of the three major Cartelsā demise, were initially living freely outside, but were forced to hide in this seemingly safe rural area to lay low.
To be honest, facing Ordinary People, Time Travelers do have a considerable advantage. A few injections of Genetic Potion in the Inner World could make one a local tyrant in the Outer World. Although they canāt compare with real experts, they can live quite comfortably.
The Black leader reminded again, "Watch these workers closely, donāt let anyone escape and expose this location. If itās exposed, weāre doomed."
This is the oppressive feeling from the Parentsā Meeting.
...
...
At night, Qing Chen and all the workers were held together, sleeping under the open sky on the ground.
There was no overtime pay here, only endless work, a minimum of 16 hours each day.
He was calculating the time for the crossing, noting down his questions, preparing to have Black Spider and One answer them for him after crossing.
However, at that moment, a few workers couldnāt endure the high-intensity work anymore and discussed escaping together.
With the remnants of the Polar Night organization arriving, a huge bonfire was lit in the center of the village, and they were drinking, singing, and dancing.
Some saw it as an opportunity and seven of them bent down and ran outward. As long as they could cross 300 meters of flat terrain, it would be easy to climb over the fence at the edge of the village.
But before they could reach the wall, they were spotted by the sentry in the watchtower.
The bandit in the sentry swept them with the heavy machine gun, turning them all into sieves in just a few seconds.
The nighttime gunshots alarmed everyone, and the workers sat up in fear, only to see a woman who had taken care of Qing Chen crying and wailing. Those were her villageās villagers, each vibrant life now gone.
Qing Chen watched silently, unmoved.
If time rewound and 17-year-old Qing Chen just arrived at Prison 18, seeing the initiation rites held by old prisoners for new inmates again, he would still remain indifferent.
