Chapter 191 Luban Wooden Cart
At the same time, deep in the Cangyun Mountains.
Yan Wanwan stood in a secluded valley, the sunlight shining on her through layers of tree shadows, reflecting the subtle sneer at the corner of her lips.
The mountains of goods in front of her looked like silent fortresses in the night, and behind her, several guards in tight-fitting clothes were quietly waiting for her instructions.
"They don't really think... that's all I have, do they?" She whispered to herself, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Months ago, she had already opened a secret passage to the remote shop. Her caravans never entered the city, instead following hidden routes deep in the mountains. These settlements, hidden deep in the dense forest, were spaced at regular intervals. Supply crews would visit regularly, leaving supplies and quickly departing. Once they left, the surrounding plant barrier dissipated, leaving the deep mountains and forests, where wild beasts roamed, untouchable for ordinary people.
Because of this, her transportation routes have never been interrupted, and even the bandits have never discovered her transportation channels. And those who think they have everything under control probably still don't know that their blockade is nothing but a ridiculous and futile effort.
Yan Wanwan looked around, her gaze as calm as autumn water, yet carrying an undeniable dignity. She spoke softly, her tone calm yet unquestionable, "How are things going?"
Immediately, a guard stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported: "My Lord, all the supplies have been transported to the designated location in the mountains as you instructed, without missing a single one."
Yan Wanwan nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, and then waved her hand: "Thank you for your hard work, you can leave first."
Everyone responded in unison and quickly retreated, leaving only Yan Wanwan standing in front of the cave.
She looked around and confirmed that no one was there before slowly walking into the cave. The cave was filled with all kinds of supplies, from food and cloth to weapons and tools, almost filling up the cave.
She stood still for a moment, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand and waved it. In an instant, the supplies in the cave seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible force, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Yan Wanwan didn't stop, but turned and walked to the next cave, repeating the same process. After a few rounds, she had cleared out all the supplies in the entire mountain range.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her breathing became slightly rapid. It was obvious that this operation had consumed a lot of her energy. However, just as she took a moment to catch her breath, a slight buzzing sound suddenly came from her mind.
The next moment, the scene in the cave suddenly changed.
Boxes of dazzling jewelry appeared out of thin air, and gold, silver, jade and stones sparkled with alluring light in the dim cave.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen boxes of heavy books were neatly placed in the corner. Words such as "Agricultural Economics", "Water Conservancy", and "Farming and Weaving" were clearly printed on the boxes. They were all modern printed agricultural classics.
Yan Wanwan looked at everything in front of her, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
These supplies were what she obtained from the trade with the Doomsday Base. The jewelry could be exchanged for the resources of this era, and those agricultural books were her important bargaining chips for the future of Nanping Prefecture.
Yan Wanwan walked slowly towards the last cave. The light at the entrance gradually became brighter, illuminating a unique object inside the cave - a wooden cart with a simple shape but a hidden mystery.
This wooden cart may appear ordinary, but it's truly extraordinary. It's a perfect fusion of modern technology and ancient Lu Ban craftsmanship. Its body is intricately carved, each line hinting at the art of mechanical engineering, while its interior conceals a sophisticated mechanical structure capable of self-propelled movement without human intervention. Even more astonishing is the ingeniously embedded ultra-thin solar panel on its roof, its surface gleaming with a faint metallic sheen.
This was cutting-edge technology Yan Wanwan had brought from the apocalypse. It could transform sunlight into powerful motive power, increasing the wooden cart's speed several times over. On a clear day, the cart could travel a thousand miles a day, zipping along at lightning speed, far exceeding the limits of any other means of transportation in this era.
She reached out and gently stroked the car's body, her fingertips touching the cool wooden surface, a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes. With this car, future transportation wouldn't be a problem. She would build all the secret passages in the Great Xia Kingdom, so that supplies could be transferred within a day, and the transmission of news would be safer and faster.
Yan Wanwan had considered using modern means of transportation, but oil extraction would make too much noise. Her strategic layout had not been laid out yet, so she was not planning to move in a high-profile manner. However, if open extraction did not work, she could only do it secretly.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
The "laborers," transformed by apocalyptic technology, were already ready. They worked tirelessly, needed no rest, and could work nonstop 24 hours a day, completely obeying her commands. These "laborers," not only possessed immense strength but also could operate efficiently in extreme environments, making them her perfect assistants in her covert resource extraction.
"Since you've forced me to take the dark path, don't blame me for being rude," Yan Wanwan muttered to herself, her tone tinged with coldness and determination. She turned and headed deep into the mountains, where she had secretly transformed a hidden mining base.
The entrance to the base is hidden by dense vegetation, making it difficult to detect even for those familiar with the terrain.
That's right, there are several mines hidden in the Cangyun Mountains, and there is rich oil underground. In addition to the advantageous geographical location of this place, she had people digging quietly underground a long time ago.
Watching the ore, coal, rare metals... these precious resources being transported out continuously, and then quietly sent to her secret warehouse via the wooden cart that combines modern technology with Lu Ban's skills, and directly sent to the end of the world for refining and forging.
Yan Wanwan stood on a high place, overlooking all this.
"Since you like to play dirty, I'll accompany you to the end." She said softly, with unquestionable confidence in her tone.
A few days passed, "Miss, there's news!"
Xiao Tao ran into the yard excitedly. Before she stepped into the house, she heard a loud "bang" coming from inside the house, which made her stop in her tracks.
Through the half-open window lattice, she vaguely saw the shadow of the overturned bronze tripod in the house, as if it had been smashed hard on the ground.
Xiao Tao's heart tightened, and she quickly turned to look at the maid guarding outside the door, asking about the situation with an anxious look.
The maidservant looked bewildered, shaking her head repeatedly, and whispered, "The young lady locked herself in the room as soon as she returned. The bronze tripod was only ordered to be moved in this morning. I don't know what happened..."
Xiao Tao couldn't help but swallow, her palms slightly cold. She had never seen her young lady so angry before. Even when faced with the provocation of the Prince of Dongping, she always remained calm. What happened today?
She approached the door cautiously and reported softly, "Miss, we've found some clues about the people who bought the seeds from Dongping Prefecture..."
The room was dead silent, as if the loud noise just now was just an illusion.
Xiao Tao waited for a moment, but still heard no response. She could only sigh helplessly. Without the young lady's permission, she would never dare to enter the dormitory without permission.
She clenched the secret report in her hand and was about to leave, waiting for the young lady to calm down before reporting back.
However, just as she turned and took a step, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open by a huge force.
A dark shadow flew out of the house and fell heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.
