490: Chapter 490 Breaking into the Slaughterhouse!

Guang City, North City.

Wang the Tiger owned a slaughterhouse that was famous far and wide.

They sold all kinds of meat there.

They even had goods like crocodile meat and sika deer, which rarely circulated in the southern markets.

This slaughterhouse was hidden deep within an unremarkable alley.

Several refrigerated trucks were parked at the entrance, and a thick, bloody stench permeated the air.

A few workers wearing rubber boots squatted at the entrance, smoking.

Their faces were expressionless, occasionally looking up at passing pedestrians with gazes as cold as if they were looking at cargo.

An unlicensed white van turned into the alley and stopped at the slaughterhouse entrance.

The workers stubbed out their cigarettes, stood up, and skillfully pulled open the back door of the van.

Inside the carriage sat a square iron cage about one meter wide, covered with a thick black cloth that completely concealed its contents.

No one knew what was inside the cage.

But no one asked.

The lead worker waved his hand behind him.

Two young workers walked over, one on each side, and lifted the iron cage off the vehicle.

Then.

They placed the cage on a labor-saving pulley and pushed it through the slaughterhouse gates.

When the cage was pushed to the third basement level of the slaughterhouse, the surroundings suddenly opened up.

But shockingly...

Dozens of identical iron cages were stacked around them.

Some were empty.

Others were covered with black cloth, neatly stacked against the walls.

“Put it over there.”

A bearded Middle-aged Man stood leaning against the wall, a cigarette between his fingers, gesturing toward the corner with his chin.

His name was Wang Balong, and he was Wang the Tiger's younger brother.

His older brother was a local tyrant of the Guang City underworld and the person in charge of the Soul Hall's 'goods' transit across several southern provinces.

The two young workers moved the cage to the corner, stacked it with the others, and turned to leave.

Wang Balong stubbed out his cigarette, walked over, reached out to lift a corner of the black cloth on the cage, and peered inside.

Seven people were lying inside.

Two adult men, three adult women, and two children.

All of them were unconscious.

Wang Balong dropped the black cloth, a smile appearing on his face.

“Unload the goods. Follow the old rules and prepare the livestream; let the buyers see the goods tonight.”

The worker nodded and turned to prepare.

...

Ye Chen and Bing Lan followed the coordinates provided by White Charm, and their car soon stopped at the alley entrance.

He turned off the engine and glanced at Bing Lan.

“Are you staying in the car?”

Bing Lan unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and said calmly, “I am at the Heavenly Realm Peak now; I can be of some help.”

Ye Chen thought about it and didn't stop her further.

The two walked into the alley side by side and saw the iron gates of the slaughterhouse wide open, with the interior brightly lit.

A foul, nauseating stench permeated the air...

Several workers in rubber boots looked up as soon as they heard footsteps.

The next second.

They saw a man and a woman.

The man was handsome.

The woman was beautiful.

The woman, in particular, looked like a star who had stepped out of a television screen.

So much so.

That they were completely out of place in a slaughterhouse.

The workers looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Generally speaking...

No one would come to this slaughterhouse.

They were only responsible for slaughtering, butchering, and packaging, then sending the goods to the order points.

It was the first time they had seen two people walk in so brazenly.

Especially that woman...

The workers' gazes fell on Bing Lan, their eyes glazed over.

That face!

That figure!

That aura!

She was dozens of times better looking than any woman they had ever seen!

An older worker was the first to snap out of it and stepped forward.

“You two, what are you here for?”

“Are you here to order meat?”

He paused, a hint of vigilance surfacing in his eyes.

“If you're ordering meat, please contact our manager in charge!”

“This slaughterhouse is very dirty; we don't receive outsiders.”

His tone wasn't polite, but there was nothing technically wrong with it.

After all...

A place like a slaughterhouse wasn't meant for people to just wander around.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: “We want people.”

The moment those words were spoken.

Everyone's expression changed.

The worker's pupils shrank, and the vigilance on his face instantly turned into wariness.

“Sorry!”

“We are a legal and compliant slaughterhouse; there are no people here!”

The people around them also reacted one by one, their gazes turning hostile.

Ye Chen tilted his head: “Is that so? But I heard... the goods I want are right here!”

The surrounding workers exchanged glances and then closed in.

Some were clutching boning knives.

Some were holding iron hooks.

Some picked up steel pipes from the ground.

Seven or eight people completely surrounded Ye Chen and Bing Lan.

The worker leader stared at Ye Chen, his face completely darkening.

“Are you two here to cause trouble?”

Generally speaking, even if someone wanted goods, they would choose from the overseas livestream rooms instead of coming here to pick them out.

And they certainly wouldn't be like these two, walking in so boldly and asking for people right away.

This was clearly a case of 'the visitor does not come with good intentions'!

To put it another way...

Even if they really were here for the goods, they wouldn't dare give them over!

Ye Chen scanned the people around him, his smile unchanged.

“Cause trouble? Not really, I'm just here for the people!”

“I want all the people locked up here.”

The leading worker could no longer maintain his composure.

The next second.

He roared sharply: “Close the doors! Someone's causing trouble!”

Before his voice had even faded.

Two workers behind him had already run to the iron gates and slammed them shut.

At the same time.

A burst of footsteps came from deep within the slaughterhouse.

The workers who were originally busy at their respective posts dropped their work and poured out from every corner.

Then.

One by one, they ripped off their aprons, revealing the tank tops and full-body tattoos underneath.

On those faces, where was there even a hint of the honest simplicity of an ordinary worker?

Some pulled machetes from under the chopping blocks.

Some grabbed fire axes from the corners.

Others clutched cold, gleaming steel boning spikes.

In the blink of an eye...

More than twenty people surrounded Ye Chen and Bing Lan, making the area impassable.

Ye Chen scanned the surroundings with an innocent look.

“I came to get the goods, and it's one thing if you won't give them, but now you want to fight us? This is going too far!”

“I'm just a buyer. This way of treating guests is not only bad, but it's also an easy way to lose customers.”

The lead worker narrowed his eyes, which were filled with killing intent.

“Buyer?”

“I think you're a narc!”

“I've been in this business for ten years; what kind of person haven't I seen?”

“With that outfit and that tone, you're clearly here to scout the place!”

“Take them down! Hand them over to Second Master for disposal!”

Dozens of workers roared in unison, grabbing their weapons and pouncing toward Ye Chen and Bing Lan!

At the very front was a bald, burly man who swung his boning knife and slashed down hard toward Ye Chen's shoulder!

This strike was fast and ruthless; he clearly had a deep understanding of human anatomy and was a veteran who lived by the blade!

Ye Chen stood his ground and casually waved his right hand.

“Slap!”

A crisp slapping sound echoed through the hollow slaughterhouse.

The bald man's 180-pound body was sent flying as if hit by a truck, flipping twice in the air before smashing hard onto the chopping block behind him.

“Clang!”

The chopping block collapsed, and pork and mutton meat went flying.

Seeing this, the other workers did not retreat; instead, they pounced forward even more frantically!

So what if he could fight?

No matter how high your martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!

In an instant.

Machetes!

Iron hooks!

Steel pipes!

They all rained down on Ye Chen and his companion from all directions!

Ye Chen sighed.

“I already said I just came to get the goods, but you insisted on starting a fight.”

“Then don't blame me for being impolite!”

His figure flickered, and he lunged into the crowd like a phantom.

“Slap!”

He slapped the face of a worker lunging from the left; the man flew sideways, knocking over three people behind him.

“Bang!”

He kicked the chest of a burly man rushing from the right; the man's feet left the ground as he flew back seven or eight meters, crashing into a meat grinder and passing out on the spot.

“Slap!”

“Slap!!”

“Slap!!!”

...

The sounds of slapping!

The sounds of impact!

The sounds of screaming!

They rose and fell within the slaughterhouse.

Seeing how troublesome Ye Chen was, some people looked directly at Bing Lan.

Then.

Two grown men pounced on her.

But what no one expected was...

Bing Lan actually stomped her foot.

“Boom!”

An iron rod by her foot suddenly flipped into the air, and then, under the shocked, bewildered, and dumbfounded expressions of everyone...

The rod flew horizontally and struck the two men.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

The two let out screams and were sent flying, eventually crashing into a pillar.

Immediately after.

They slid down limply.

The bones in their bodies had actually been shattered by the impact...

Ye Chen slapped another person away and looked back at Bing Lan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Lan'er, you're even more ruthless than me!”

“You directly shattered all their bones?”

Bing Lan was stunned for a moment, then she uncharacteristically and playfully stuck out her tongue: “It was my first time using my power; I didn't hold back.”
