Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 7 Hunting in a Hummer

Zhang Luoyan took out two pieces of bubble gum from her pocket, one of which was real and the other was a Durex.

Looking down, he gasped for breath and subconsciously glanced at Wang Ce, who was teaching the workers archery techniques.

Upon discovering that Wang Ce was chewing, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily he didn't find out, otherwise it would be hard to explain."

Without making a sound, Zhang Luoyan put the Durex back in, started chewing gum, and walked to Wang Ce's side, saying:

"I'm going out to explore tomorrow too. Is there any way to keep the rest of the people on track and prevent any mutiny?"

Human nature is complex. If Zhao Erde of Xinke Plastics Factory can shut Yang Miao out, these workers might just kick them out.

But she couldn't stay put. Zhang Luoyan knew clearly that if she wanted to get ahead of others, she had to master extraordinary power.

"It's very simple, I have a plan."

Before Wang Ce could even speak, Huang Feipeng confidently patted his chest and said:

"We'll drive out tomorrow and put all the supplies in the car. If we don't come back, they'll go hungry. Let's see who dares to rebel."

Zhang Luoyan and Wang Ce's eyes lit up; they really hadn't thought of such a good idea.

The outside world is indeed fraught with danger. From mosquitoes the size of watermelons to giant wolves hunting in packs, and large birds in the sky trying to intercept drones, everything is a testament to the perilous nature of this primeval forest.

Even if they are fully armed, it doesn't guarantee their safety.

At this point, strong logistical support and a well-developed self-circulation system become crucial.

If no one is building equipment inside, or if no one opens the door for them when they return, and the remaining people declare themselves kings and betray them, it will be very troublesome.

Not everyone possesses a sense of unity and a broad perspective; human nature cannot withstand the test. Controlling the distribution of food is indeed a good method.

To be fair, Huang Feipeng can be quite quick-witted at times.

The next day, before Wang Ce and his two companions set off, they made a special trip to ask the factory workers if anyone was willing to go hunting.

"Going hunting is entirely voluntary. It's okay if you don't want to go. Working in the factory to produce equipment is also a contribution, and you'll get to eat."

"Of course, those who go out to participate in hunting are engaged in high-risk work, so they are fed three meals a day and have priority in the allocation of subsequent resources."

This was the result of Zhang Luoyan's discussion with Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng last night. With only the three of them going out, manpower was really limited, and there would be many constraints in doing many things.

However, they also knew that after witnessing the giant wolf devour people, probably no one would want to go out.

"Manager Zhang, I'm willing to go out with you. I can't stand eating only one meal a day anymore. I'd rather risk my life than not have a full meal!"

"Don't give me that. You just think the danger isn't high because Manager Zhang went out himself, right?"

"Nonsense! We have powerful bows for long-range combat, aluminum pipes for close-range engagements, Tang swords for medium-range, and military bayonets for close-quarters combat. We even have drones for reconnaissance. If we still can't beat those beasts, what's the difference between us and trash?"

"You're right, but I went out to evolve superpowers. I saw those giant wolves yesterday; their muscles weren't that big, yet they possessed such terrifying explosive power. There must be something wrong with that."

"Otherwise, Manager Zhang is a woman, and she's not stupid, why would she go out and take such a risk?"

With many workers talking at once, more than twenty people signed up to go hunting. Except for a few who were too old and felt physically unfit, almost all of them were interested.

This is completely different from what the three of them discussed last night; they underestimated the intelligence of modern people.

The workers on these production lines may not have high levels of education, but that doesn't mean they are uncultured or unintelligent. They may have read classics, history, philosophy, and literature, but surely they have read novels?

In the end, Wang Ce personally stepped forward and selected two young men. These two young men were quick learners, good at operating drones, strong, and had relatively well-rounded qualities.

They decided to take a Hummer H2 out first to scout out the surrounding area. The seven seats were a bit cramped, so five people would be the most suitable.

As for the food in the factory director's office, the suggestion of the strategist Huang Feipeng was ultimately not adopted.

Firstly, there's definitely not enough space in one car; more than twenty people looting the supermarket's goods can't fit them all in one vehicle.

Secondly, doing so would alienate people and sow seeds of distrust.

However, these workers were not left unattended. First, a group system was implemented, with key positions being guarded in rotation.

Secondly, everyone is in the machining workshop on the first floor and cannot go up to the second floor, forming a mutual supervision mechanism based on groups.

"Buzzing—"

"We're closer to the north gate of the factory. Let's scout out if there are any giant wolves in the park first."

Zhang Luoyan handed over command to Wang Ce. She was better at team management, but it was safer to leave this kind of operation to Wang Ce.

Although Wang Ce was only a two-year conscript, he had served in a training unit during his second year, so he must have mastered the most basic squad and platoon tactics.

"Brother Ce, no traces of giant wolves have been found on the main streets of the park."

"Jingmao Luggage has a bow and arrow with each of its staff. They've already killed two giant wolves and are now dragging them back."

"People from Daqiang Electronics Technology have also come out, and they are using drones to explore the way. People from other factories are gradually preparing to explore the outside world."

Wang Ce was not surprised to see that someone had gotten there before him.

The current situation is not about who is brave enough to go out first, but rather whoever can't stand the hunger first will go out to find food.

They still have food reserves, so they can wait until the equipment is produced and they are fully prepared before setting off.

The others didn't have time to waste; they needed to find something to eat as soon as possible before they fainted from hunger.

"Master Xu, you are in charge of coordinating the workers who remain. Remember one thing: no one is allowed to enter the factory under any pretext. If anyone dares to take a single step, no matter the reason, shoot them on sight!"

Zhang Luoyan spoke the harshest words in the most calm tone: Master Xu, who was entrusted with an important task, was the factory's most senior engineer, recruited by the old factory director with a high salary.

The fact that weapon production has gone so smoothly these past two days is largely due to his and Huang Feipeng's contributions.

Master Xu is a stickler for principles and has a certain prestige, making him the most suitable person to be in charge of staying behind.

"Don't worry, Manager Zhang, I'll just leave one entrance for Hummers. I'll aim my bow and arrow at the door, and shoot anyone who dares to come in!"

Master Xu nodded very seriously. He knew what was important, but he was a bit old-fashioned and stubborn.

"Let's go, let's drive out and see what the area around the factory is like."

Everyone in the factory enjoyed a delicious meal. Those who went hunting received two extra braised eggs, and no one complained; at most, they were a little envious.

Zhang Luoyan is indeed impeccable in terms of fairness and impartiality; with her around, team cohesion will gradually increase.

"You go to the passenger seat, I'll drive."

Just as Wang Ce was about to get into the driver's seat, Zhang Luoyan held the car door with her left hand, raised her chin, and gestured for Wang Ce to go to the passenger seat.

Seeing Wang Ce's suspicious look, Zhang Luoyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm a professional."

Wang Ce did not argue and went straight to the passenger seat.

"You two, keep the drone on alert the whole time, and report any situation immediately. You only have one life, so stay alert."

Two workers accompanying the team operated drones to scout ahead, which acted like early warning radar, capable of detecting dangers in advance.

Wang Ce had never seen Zhang Luoyan drive before, so he stared at her for a moment as they left the factory.

Upon seeing her slender, long legs, his pupils dilated, and he said in disbelief:

"Wait, Zhang Luoyan, you drive an automatic car with both feet? Are you even capable of that?"

Upon hearing Wang Ce's words from the passenger seat, Huang Feipeng in the back immediately grabbed the door handle. Could he be a road hazard?

"I'm used to driving race cars, so let me show you a drift first, and see what I'm capable of. Buckle up!"
