Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 51 The Crisis of the Industrial Park

"Bang! Bang!"

Wang Ce searched the corpses for a while, and Zhang Luoyan followed behind, using a fireball spell to destroy the evidence.

Zhang Luoyan remained expressionless, and with a single gesture, not a single one remained; she was very professional.

"They don't have anything special about them. Tell me, how did you spend these five days?"

Seeing that Wang Ce finally looked at him, Zhou Jiakun, with a mournful face, recounted the whole story.

It turned out that after Wang Ce gave Zhou Jiakun the supplies, Zhou Jiakun went north to explore early the next morning.

He led two park security guards who had served in the military, and with Wang Ce's reinforcements behind him, he marched forward in a grand manner.

"Wait, when did I arrange reinforcements for you?"

Wang Ce glanced at Zhang Luoyan beside him, only to see her shake her head slightly.

Neither I nor Zhang Luoyan sent anyone, so it couldn't possibly have been Huang Feipeng who sent them, right?

"Captain Wang, when we came out of the park, we were followed by someone. We thought it was reinforcements you sent, so we rushed forward without worry."

"After walking for almost two days and enduring great hardship, we finally discovered a settlement of Japanese people."

"We used drones to gather a lot of intelligence in that Japanese-populated area."

"Just as we were about to run back, the Japanese spotted us!"

"I thought to myself, since we have reinforcements behind us, the three of us turned around and ran, trying to lure them into an ambush."

"When we arrived at the reinforcements, we found that the people were not sent by you, but workers from Fuhuakang Electronics Factory and Daqiang Electronics Factory."

"The three of us ran as fast as we could, and with their help covering our retreat, we barely managed to escape. You saw what happened next."

Zhang Luoyan nodded, but Wang Ce spoke casually:

"You said there's a Japanese settlement to the north, and you've gathered a lot of intelligence. What have you found out?"

The group hurried towards the park. Zhou Jiakun took a big gulp of water and ate a bite of the dried crocodile meat that Huang Feipeng handed him before saying with lingering fear:

"The buildings where these Japanese people live are all wooden structures, and they must have built them themselves."

"They call themselves Haneda Danji, which has more than 800 people. Their living conditions are relatively primitive, with only a small number of modern items."

"Their armed forces are known as ninjas, and the most powerful among them have already undergone three advancements."

"They don't seem to have discovered our park yet, but these Japanese people seem to know that the river is going to flood and they are preparing to go south to clear the stranded aquatic animals after the flood recedes."

Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan exchanged a glance, both thinking of the ruins of the settlement discovered near the crystal core mine.

Clearly, all the people from this Haneda ghetto have migrated to the north.

"What are their living conditions like? Are they under the jurisdiction of any armed forces? To put it simply, are they being enslaved by cultivators?"

Wang Ce's insightful question made Zhou Jiakun think for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "I think they're living quite comfortably, and their so-called ninja school seems to have some real substance."

"The workers at Fuhuakang and Daqiang were killed by their so-called ninjutsu. If the three of us hadn't run fast, we probably wouldn't have survived either."

Huang Feipeng, standing nearby, suddenly had a thought and asked, "They're speaking Japanese, can you understand it?"

Zhou Jiakun shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "None of the three of us understand Japanese. At most, we know a few words."

Huang Feipeng's eyes widened in disbelief. "If you can't understand Japanese, how do you gather intelligence?"

"You just rattled off a whole bunch of stuff, did you make that up?"

Seeing Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan looking at him with unfriendly eyes, Zhou Jiakun quickly said:

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, I used a mobile translation app. Look, I even have a voice translation record!"

Wang Ce cautiously took the phone. The offline translation software did indeed have many very long recordings; a long press would translate the audio content.

Wang Ce randomly clicked on a recording, wanting to hear if that was the case.

"Ah~ Ah! Ya~ Me~ Die~ Why are you crying all day—"

The decadent music was like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Wang Ce quickly pressed the screen-off button. Good heavens, really good heavens, you're inquiring about this kind of information?

After stealing a glance at Zhang Luoyan, whose face remained completely expressionless, Wang Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Go to the industrial park and inform the two factions about this matter. Tell them to come to the Shenghong conference room for a meeting to discuss countermeasures."

Zhou Jiakun bid farewell to Wang Ce at the park entrance, patting his chest and promising that he would definitely complete the mission.

Back at the factory, Huang Feipeng muttered to himself, "This Zhou Jiakun is really something; I didn't expect him to actually gather the intelligence!"

"I have to say, it's unbelievable that someone as cowardly as him would dare to walk in the mountains to the north for two days with just two security guards."

Wang Ce nodded and said, "Then give him ten crystal cores and let him become a first-tier evolver."

"Before I transmigrated, I was prejudiced against Zhou Jiakun. He always acted like he had a big deal out of nothing and was very arrogant."

"However, his ability to supply the cafeteria's food to more than ten factories free of charge after he traveled through time completely changed my mind."

"I can give someone like Yang Miao a chance, let alone Zhou Jiakun, who isn't a bad person to begin with."

Zhang Luoyan turned her gaze to the updated 3D holographic map, and then placed a landmark at the location Zhou Jiakun had mentioned, which read: Haneda Danchi.

"Zhou Jiakun said that there are ninjas in the Haneda ninja community who have evolved three times, and that's only what he has seen."

"The true strength of this Haneda syndicate is likely even greater than this."

"Currently, in our industrial park, there are only four Tier 2 beings with the highest life level. Adding you, who is almost Tier 2, makes a total of five Tier 2 combatants."

"Besides that, there were a hundred bolt-action rifles, as well as hand grenades and pine cannons."

"However, if the top experts can't keep up, and that third-tier evolved human from the Haneda guild tries to assassinate us a few times, we'll face the collapse of our organization."

From any perspective, the industrial park has no advantages.

Third-tier evolved beings are like nuclear deterrents; they simply cannot defend against them.

"Manager Zhang, Captain Wang, I heard there are Japanese people in the north. What's the situation?"

Soon, Guo Ping'an from Fuhuakang Electronics Factory, Zhou Li from Daqiang, Luo Ji from Jingmao Luggage, and Yang Miao from Xinke Plastics Factory all rushed over upon hearing the news.

"There is a Japanese settlement to the north called Haneda Danji, which has about seven or eight hundred people and includes third-tier evolved beings."

"Based on the intelligence we have, we have been exposed, and the Haneda danchi is very knowledgeable about the patterns of high tide."

"Every time the court leaves, they come to catch the tide and kill the aquatic species that are stranded and haven't had time to return."

Upon hearing Wang Ce's words, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grim.

If it were other Chinese people, and they couldn't win, they could simply admit defeat and join the fight; there's nothing shameful about that.

However, the moment they learned that the other side was Japanese, it was destined to be a fight to the death, with no room for maneuver.

"We only have four second-tier evolvers now. Third-tier evolvers might be even more terrifying, and we might not be able to stop them."

"We've been exposed, and this battle is inevitable. Before the Japanese have fully figured out our tactics, I suggest we concentrate our superior firepower and launch a surprise attack!"

Guo Ping'an's words drew everyone's attention.

This tactic was even more radical than militarism. When the Japanese army launched its invasion of China, the domestic situation in Japan was equally dire.

"No, this Haneda Danji has been traversed for who knows how long. Their knowledge of the terrain and the area far surpasses ours."

"Our only advantage is that we still have gunpowder. Launching an attack over a long distance would only alert the enemy."

"I suggest we fight a defensive war, guard the northern gateway to the park, and take advantage of the information gap to launch a counterattack."

Zhou Li adjusted his glasses. Having navigated the business world for many years, he knew that the marketplace was like a battlefield, and he could at least see the current situation clearly.

One faction advocated for war, while the other wanted to defend their position, and both turned their attention to Zhang Luoyan.

Zhang Luoyan pinched Wang Ce silently under the table, and Wang Ce jumped up.

All eyes turned to Wang Ce, who cleared his throat and said:

"We won't launch an attack, nor will we fight a defensive battle. I do have a plan that will give us a chance to catch our breath!"
