Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 20 The Murder of Zhao Erde

"Charge! They're by the river, they can't escape. Don't let any of them get away."

"You've all met Manager Zhang from Shenghong, right? If I have a good time, I can reward you by letting you have some fun too!"

Wang Ce, who had been smiling the whole time, turned grim upon hearing those words.

"I'll fuck your mother!"

"call out!"

He drew his bow and aimed an arrow straight at Zhao Erde. Zhao Erde revealed a triumphant smile, thinking to himself:

"Young people just can't keep their composure."

With a soft thud, the entire metal arrow pierced his chest cavity, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

Zhao Erde shoved aside the worker who had pulled him aside to shield him, then grabbed a shaft that had been removed from the equipment and swung it toward Wang Ce.

Wang Ce feigned panic and ran towards the riverbank as if he were running in a frenzy.

"Run? I had people lying in wait for you at the south gate of the park all morning. Do you think you can just run away?"

"You were in Zhang Luoyan's fifth-floor office, showing off to me through the glass, weren't you? You two are so lovey-dovey, aren't you? You're just a gigolo, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll break your arms and legs, and then watch me play with your woman."

Zhao Erde's face twisted in anger, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.

Guo Ping'an, standing next to Wang Ce, narrowed his eyes to slits. If it weren't for the plan, he would have turned around and killed this bastard.

This Zhao Erde cannot even be called a human being; the degree of his psychological distortion is appalling.

Just as they approached within about ten meters of the riverbank, Wang Ce and the others, who had been in a panic, suddenly grabbed a handful of pebbles from their pockets and rained them down on the mudskippers that were still leisurely frolicking on the riverbank.

Zhao Erde was clearly so focused on targeting Wang Ce and his group that he didn't even acknowledge the strongest force in the southern part of the industrial park, Fuhuakang Electronics Factory.

Not to mention mudskippers, I know absolutely nothing about them.

These mudskippers lie motionless on the mudflats along the riverbank, blending seamlessly with the mud when they are still, making them virtually invisible unless you look closely.

When Zhao Erde saw them running towards the river, he assumed they were trying to escape by taking a longer route.

"Run! Where do you think you're going?"

Zhao Erde chased after him with a sinister grin, feeling a kind of cat-and-mouse thrill.

"You fat pig, you don't actually think you can outrun me, do you?"

Wang Ce suddenly turned around and launched a counterattack straight at Zhao Erde's face. Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Zhao Erde instantly regained his senses, and even his eyes became much clearer.

Wang Ce's speed was too fast, exceeding human limits, which terrified Zhao Erde.

The stainless steel spear that was originally aimed straight at his throat was intentionally flicked upwards by Wang Ce, knocking out six of his teeth.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."

Zhao Erde's mouth was full of blood, and before he could recover, his eyes suddenly turned to terror.

On the once calm riverbank, large fish, each over a meter long, suddenly leaped out. These fish possessed sharp, serrated teeth.

"Uh—gurgle—"

Its teeth were broken by Wang Ce, and it couldn't even scream before a mudskipper bit off one of its legs.

He tried desperately to crawl forward, but was relentlessly bitten by mudskippers, and his body gradually disappeared into the mud on the riverbank.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

"Run! These fish can fucking run on the shore!"

"Help me, I don't want to die! We even slept with the same woman before, brother, give me a hand!"

"I'm willing to join your factory. I know where Zhao Erde hides the pork, and I even know which room those women are in. Please help me, I'll lead you there!"

The workers at Xinke Plastics Factory started to weep bitterly at this moment, completely unlike their arrogant demeanor when they rushed down the slope.

Wang Ce, Guo Ping'an, and the others ran forward without looking back.

The Fuhuakang hunting team, waiting on the hillside, had prepared many logs. As soon as everyone went up, they would roll the logs down; this was their contingency plan.

Wang Ce glanced around and his gaze sharpened. His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling because he didn't see Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng!

However, with a large number of mudskippers behind him, he certainly didn't dare to run back. His gaze swept back and forth between the dozen or so evolved beings beside him, and finally locked onto Guo Ping'an.

Guo Ping'an is young and impetuous, yet he was able to lead the team to become captain. He must have connections. If Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng are really detained, he can take Guo Ping'an hostage in exchange for them.

So even though Wang Ce could have run faster, he deliberately controlled his speed and stayed in the middle of the group.

As they climbed up the hillside, all the workers from the Xinke Plastics Factory behind them had died.

Moreover, the mudskippers did not travel very far on land; the vast majority of them stopped moving forward and began to run back.

These mudskippers aren't stupid, nor are they vengeful creatures; they wouldn't abandon their habitat to chase people onto land.

However, there were still a few stubborn mudskippers who chased after the hillside like fools.

These mudskippers are the kind who can't even catch the last bit of food. The other mudskippers have already gotten their share of the meat, while these few haven't even gotten a bite yet and are still struggling to catch it.

"Put down the logs!"

"Huff, huff—my heart and lungs really can't keep up; this kind of sprint is the most tiring."

Guo Ping'an sat on the ground, panting heavily. Wang Ce also sat down beside him, pretending to be panting as well, his right hand subtly half-gripping a military dagger.

However, neither Guo Ping'an nor the Fuhuakang hunting team on the hillside showed any signs of conspiracy.

"Captain Guo, hurry down and use electricity to fish! There are three fish down the hillside; they look like they were injured by falling logs!"

The remaining Fuhuakang hunting team soldiers threw down the log and shouted loudly.

Wang Ce was also on the east side when he saw Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng rushing over. Although he didn't know why they had all run away, he jumped down to kill the fish as soon as he saw that they were safe.

When two forces cooperate, the spoils are naturally distributed according to their efforts. If someone puts in the work but doesn't contribute, they definitely won't get the lion's share in the end.

There's probably a crystal core inside this mudskipper's body. Wang Ce wants to get one to take back, partly to earn a crystal core, and partly to have a treat.

The food they stole from the supermarket was becoming increasingly scarce, and their appetites increased dramatically after they became evolved beings.

Ordinary food is no longer enough to satisfy their needs, so they still need to eat the native ingredients of this world.

"Brother Wang Ce, don't be impulsive. We'll give you a fish later, after we set up the electric fence and fish together—holy crap, you're that fierce?"

Before Guo Ping'an could finish speaking, he saw Wang Ce go down the hillside and pierce a mudskipper with his spear, pinning it to the ground, unable to escape.

At this moment, only three injured mudskippers remained at the bottom of the hillside. But even if they were injured, they were still mudskippers. How could they be pierced like that?

If that's the case, although they are all evolved beings, Wang Ce's power is much greater than theirs.

"Sizzle—"

Guo Pingan and his men set up two electric nets and went down the hillside to catch mudskippers with them. The mudskippers struggled and jumped in the nets, but after a few jumps, they became paralyzed and unable to move.

The power grid developed by Fuhuakang is indeed powerful; no wonder they were able to open up a hunting route to the great river so quickly.

Wang Ce only killed one, because there were only three mudskippers in total. With so many people at Fuhuakang, it was unrealistic for him to take two.

"Brother Wang Ce, you're really powerful! Did you undergo a special evolution? Our factory has twelve evolved, and I'm the only one who did a special evolution."

Guo Ping'an looked at Wang Ce with some surprise. Wang Ce's heart stirred. Only the three of them in their factory had evolved. The base number was too small to be of any reference value.

It would be good to communicate with Guo Ping'an. He can then use the information from the conversation to develop some specific terms related to cultivation, such as "evolver" or "superpowered individual."

Then we'll ask Zhou Jiakun, the property manager of the park, to promote it. That guy isn't good at anything else, but he's a master at publicity.

Now everyone in the park believes that the crystal core is radioactive. Based on this alone, Zhou Jiakun is a real talent.

"Brother Ping An, what are your abilities? We can exchange ideas and learn from each other's strengths."

Just then, Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng and a few others walked over.

Zhang Luoyan overheard Wang Ce and Guo Ping'an talking about something. She couldn't hear the beginning clearly, but she heard them exchanging ideas and learning from each other's strengths.

In an instant, Zhang Luoyan's eyes turned mischievous as she glanced at Wang Ce from head to toe. "No way?"
