Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 50 Zhou Jiakun's Intelligence

Without the slightest hesitation, the five of them took off running. There was absolutely no need to look back to check or see how fast the tide was rising.

The most important thing now is to run!

"It's still at least five or six days until the three moons completely merge, how come the tide is rising so quickly?"

Wang Ce suspected he had made a mistake in his prediction. It seemed that the riverbank was already facing collapse before the three moons could fully merge.

"Whoosh—"

"Brother Ce, stop running! The tide doesn't seem to be coming in yet!"

Huang Feipeng was panting heavily. Even though he was a second-level ability user, he couldn't withstand such a high-intensity mountain run.

The main problem was that Wang Ce was running too fast. If he didn't shout, he doubted he would even be able to see Wang Ce's taillights.

From where they were just now, they could only see the stream in front of them, but not the big river to the south.

However, Zhang Luoyan's special ability is light, which allows her to see farther through light.

So when Zhang Luoyan said to run, Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng were the first to respond. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to Zhang Luoyan.

Hou Ji and the worker who discovered the ore, seeing the three of them take off running, naturally chased after them with all their might.

The envisioned scene of being swept away by a great river and fighting with evolved creatures in the water did not occur.

Although there was a rumbling sound behind them, the water did not spread. It's impossible that they ran faster than the flash flood, right?

"My God, what kind of fish is this? How can it be so big?"

"A line suddenly came to mind: 'In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun!'"

Standing atop the mountain, the group looked south towards the great river and witnessed a breathtaking scene.

On the surface of the river, a huge fish, indescribable in its size, leaped up.

The surrounding water mist obscured its true form, except for its head, which broke through the water's surface, with two protrusions resembling an exoskeleton.

There is a groove between the two exoskeletons, like a big fish with a middle parting.

"With such a large size, it probably weighs 500 tons, which is twice the size of the world's largest whale."

Zhang Luoyan looked at the great river to the south, still feeling lingering fear.

She had just seen a powerful column of water shooting into the air and thought it was the river rising, but she didn't expect it was just this big fish flipping over.

"Its life level is unknown. If you absorb its crystal core, you might be able to take off on the spot."

Huang Feipeng was a little envious, and then, as if possessed, blurted out:

"When the river rises, won't this thing float ashore along with it?"

"Do you think the river is rising because it wants to come ashore and play?"

Seeing that Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan glared at him at the same time, Huang Feipeng immediately shut up.

In the past, hunting and gathering teams would not have returned this late, so they would not have seen the scene along the river at this time.

In order to observe the condition of the river, the five of them stayed a little longer.

All five are evolved beings, so their overall speed is definitely faster than the hunting team. They just need to get back to the industrial park before dark.

"Snap!"

Wang Ce even took out his phone to take a selfie with the big fish. If they ever traveled back in time, he'd definitely win a best photography award.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Zhang Luoyan had appeared in the shot at some point.

Her hair fluttered in the wind, and her aloof face seemed to be looking in her direction.

By the time Wang Ce turned around, Zhang Luoyan had already turned around and was looking at the big fish by the river.

"Perhaps it was just a coincidence that he was in the shot?"

I observed from the mountaintop for a long time, and even after the big fish left, the tide was still rising fiercely.

At this moment, the sun has not yet completely set, and three moons are already hanging in the sky. The river water seems to be guided, and it is pounding wildly against the cliffs of the towering mountains.

As the sound of the waves gradually faded, the five people quickly returned to the park.

After instructing Hou Ji to keep the situation at the mine a secret, the three returned to Sheng Hong to hone their martial arts skills.

Zhang Luoyan also tried to teach Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng the Fireball Technique, but whether it was a matter of talent or the wrong method, neither of them learned it.

Even Huang Feipeng's talent for learning fireball techniques far surpasses that of Wang Ce.

Even though the five factories were supplying crystal cores every day, Wang Ce also planted a lot of foxtail grass, and the hunting and gathering teams from the five factories also picked a lot of foxtail grass for him when they were in the wild.

However, Wang Ce still failed to evolve to the second tier, always falling short of the goal.

At this rate, it will probably take him another ten or twenty days to gather enough resources to become a second-tier cultivator.

The current strategic direction is to first concentrate all resources to bring Wang Ce to the second tier, and then bring Zhao Jiajia to the second tier.

The evolution level of the four superhumans must be raised; their combat power is unmatched by ordinary evolved individuals.

If used properly, superpowers can be even more intimidating than firearms.

However, resources in the south are indeed quite scarce. Apart from the crystal core mine, no other cultivation resources have been found yet.

Therefore, Wang Ce plans to head north tomorrow to explore the area first.

The factories, on the other hand, are beginning to scale back entirely, sending only small, elite teams out on missions.

The tide in the southern river is rising more and more fiercely, and it will probably break out completely in a few days.

The next day, Wang Ce, Zhang Luoyan, and Huang Feipeng set off north before dawn.

"With Zhou Jiakun drawing their attention these past few days, we should be able to leave without being noticed."

Wang Ce and his two companions climbed over the park's wall. With two second-tier ability users and one near-second-tier skill, they could slip out unnoticed without anyone noticing.

This time, Zhang Luoyan led the way, with Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng following behind.

There were three moons in the sky, so the night light wasn't dim, and they also had flashlights.

However, none of the three turned on their flashlights, relying entirely on Zhang Luoyan's light-based abilities to lead the way, so as not to alert the enemy.

Fortunately, it got light in less than half an hour, but by then the three of them had already walked three kilometers to the north.

"The north still has abundant resources; we've pretty much exhausted the south."

Wang Ce plucked a few foxtail grasses; he couldn't finish them all, he simply couldn't.

If it weren't for the fact that foxtail grass was already quite weak for him, Wang Ce would be confident that he could advance to the next level on the spot.

"We'll deploy the drone five kilometers further ahead."

Previously, Daqiang Electronics Technology lost a large number of drones ten kilometers north of the park, so Wang Ce planned to start deploying drones to scout the route at a distance of about eight kilometers.

After walking three kilometers north, the three suddenly stopped, immediately dispersed, and concealed themselves.

Because directly in front of them, there were more than a dozen figures running towards the park at a very fast speed; they were probably all evolved beings.

"How come there are people who got up earlier than us? Could it be that force from the north, who crossed over even earlier?"

Huang Feipeng felt his brain wasn't working properly. They had left the industrial park in the dark, but they hadn't expected that someone else would get out before them.

"Huh? It's Zhou Jiakun and the others! Why are they running back from the north? When did they become so brave?"

"He's pretty fast. To be honest, Zhou Jiakun's running speed in the mountains is outstanding."

"That's talent! They're born to run in the mountains!"

Huang Feipeng recognized the leader as Zhou Jiakun, the property manager of the park.

"Talent my ass! Can't you see he's being chased?"

"When you strike, be ruthless; leave no survivors!"

Wang Ce is a prudent man. Zhou Jiakun is now his man, and he will kill anyone who is hunting him down without hesitation!

As for interrogating prisoners, it's completely unnecessary. Who knows if these people have any insidious methods that can kill with a single blow? Only the dead are the safest.

"Captain Zhou, what are those Japanese people saying in that background?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Run! These bastards are incredibly cunning. Let's get back to the park and pass the information to Supervisor Wang!"

"Damn it, thank goodness for Fuhuakang and Yang Miao's men, they covered for us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape at all. Hurry up, we're almost at the park!"

Zhou Jiakun and two property security guards, each carrying a Liaoning 13 pistol, ran wildly through the mountains and forests.

"what!"

"Baka!"

"Ah—ah!"

"Captain Zhou, stop running! Those Japanese guys look dead. Am I seeing things? It looks like Manager Zhang and Captain Wang from Shenghong!"

"Don't fall for it, keep running! I've studied Sun Tzu's Art of War thoroughly; this is just a smokescreen by these petty people!"

Seeing Zhou Jiakun determined to run towards the park, Wang Ce couldn't help but shout, "Zhou Jiakun, stop running! Do you still want the meat sausages and supplies? Come over here right now!"

Zhou Jiakun's darting figure gradually slowed down, and then he looked back suspiciously before slowly approaching the place where the three people were.

Upon seeing that it really was Wang Ce, he immediately ran over, grabbed Wang Ce's clothes, and burst into tears:

"Captain Wang, I've suffered terribly. Five days! Do you know how I've spent these five days?"
