Chapter 53 The Great Ship of the Haneda Group
"The floodwaters have reached the fourth floor? This is a real river view apartment, a fisherman's paradise, you can fish right outside the door."
Wang Ce glanced out the window. The water had already spread to the third floor. The third floor of the industrial park was equivalent to the fourth or fifth floor of an ordinary residential building.
Broken logs and other industrial waste from other factories floated on the water, which was murky and had very low visibility.
Every now and then, strange fish leap out of the water, revealing fine, menacing teeth, making it feel very unreal.
The industrial park that was once so familiar has now become Venice.
"That Guo Ping'an is really something else! With such a huge flood, who knows how long we'll be trapped."
"We did manage to stop the Haneda housing complex, but we can't escape ourselves either."
The windows were welded shut with steel bars, making it very inconvenient to open them. Huang Feipeng's eyes kept glancing in the direction of the Beijiajia children's clothing factory.
"Fortunately, we moved four pieces of equipment to the fifth floor, which can make both lathe parts and CNC parts."
"When we went hunting before, we had a huge advantage with our rifles, and the crystal cores we obtained directly gave us two Tier 2 and one near Tier 2."
"The entire industrial park is now flooded. To survive and thrive, it all depends on who can hunt down the mutated creatures in the water."
Zhang Luoyan's thinking was very clear. Thanks to the large amount of ancient crocodile meat and black eagle meat they had previously obtained, they were not lacking in protein and fat.
However, the lack of dietary fiber, coupled with a severe deficiency in carbohydrates, caused everyone to lose weight.
Even Huang Feipeng's face looked smaller.
Inside the Xinke Plastics Factory across the street, Yang Miao was standing by the window, holding a Tang sword in his hand, his gaze much calmer than before he transmigrated.
Beside her was the former boss's wife of Shin-Ke Plastics Factory, with a curvaceous figure and a charming face with almond eyes and peach cheeks, like a ripe peach.
When the woman saw Wang Ce and his group looking in their direction, she waved and appeared poised and graceful.
Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng were taken aback for a moment, but Zhang Luoyan beside them responded by nodding slightly.
"This woman is truly pitiful. She was repeatedly toyed with and humiliated by Zhao Erde. Now that she's with Yang Miao, her life has finally become better."
Wang Ce's thoughts drifted to the time during the War of Resistance against Japan, when the Japanese army invaded China, and those women also endured humiliation and hardship.
"I must become stronger! I will never allow the Japanese from Haneda Housing Complex to occupy the industrial park!"
Wang Ce predicted that if he received another one or two hundred crystal cores, he would be able to break through to the second tier.
With his formidable physique, he is comparable to a third-tier evolved being in terms of physical combat.
Only by reaching the second rank can one have the power to contend with the ninjas of the Haneda ninja clan.
"Splash—"
Workers at Xinke Plastics Factory actually used a rope to pull up a two-meter-long fish.
"Brother Ce, look! Is fishing this easy now? You can catch fish with just a rope?"
"If those fishermen had also traveled through time, they wouldn't be going home empty-handed every day."
Huang Feipeng pointed to the fourth floor of Xinke Plastics Factory and saw more than a dozen people pulling on a rope as if in a tug-of-war.
At the end of the rope was a two-meter-long fish that occasionally leaped out of the water and struggled violently.
"It seems we need to readjust our tactics. The most important thing now isn't the size of the water monsters we retrieve, but their quantity!"
"Anyway, every living thing has a crystal core inside its body, and the size difference is not much. If we can catch some river shrimp, we can get dozens of crystal cores in one go."
Hearing Wang Ce's words, Master Xu suddenly spoke up: "Manager Wang, didn't we make fish traps before? As long as we have some sturdy ropes, we can set up some fish traps and maybe catch a big fish!"
Wang Ce's eyes lit up. Animal traps could be used on land, and fish cages and nets could indeed be used in the river.
"Fatty, use a drone to transport some ropes from Beijiajia's factory. We'll try producing some cages and see if we can make a profit from crystal cores."
Having passed the initial stage, all the factories have now recovered and each has its own means of survival.
Unlike the sudden time travel at the beginning, this time they anticipated that there would likely be a major flood.
Therefore, the preparations were more thorough.
In just one morning, many factories managed to obtain smuggled goods; they might not even be able to get this much meat on land.
"Jingmao Xiangbao caught a lot of small fish with a fishing net. Each fish is a crystal core. I'm afraid that after this flood, Luo Ji's life level will also reach the second level."
The Haneda housing complex in the north is like a thorn in the side, making every factory dare not slack off.
Everyone knows the consequences of the Haneda housing complex being taken over; no matter how much the factories in the complex fight, it's all in a benign way.
As long as they're not like Zhao Erde, they'll generally be given a way out.
The three major forces in the park are all law-abiding. Sheng Hong gave Yang Miao a way out, and Guo Ping'an is righteous and domineering, so he wouldn't do something like killing people randomly.
The trio of leaders, though somewhat complex internally, always follow the rules and checks and balances each other.
Regardless of the outcome of their struggle, or who ultimately achieves unification, it can all be understood as an internal conflict among the three factions.
If faced with an external enemy, such as the Haneda Danchi, they would definitely unite their guns against that enemy.
"That damn Guo Ping'an has no sense of martial ethics. His factory is in the south of the industrial park, and he basically only takes the first batch of people."
"They've actually used electric fishing nets to catch fish; this has really made them rich."
Huang Feipeng was operating a drone to get ropes from Beijiajia's factory when he saw workers at Fuhuakang Electronics Factory scooping up fish with nets on the way, looking incredibly relaxed.
Some were even knocked unconscious by the electric shock and were swept away by the current before they could be retrieved.
Some smaller factories could make a small fortune just by collecting small fish that had been stunned by Fuhuakang's electric shocks.
"Brother Ce, look! Jiajia can use her superpower to fish!"
When Huang Feipeng flew the drone to Beijiajia Children's Clothing Factory, he saw Zhao Jiajia use her water control ability to pull a small fish out of the river.
However, at its first level of life, it was extremely difficult for it to use its special abilities. It was exhausted after merely pulling up one of the creatures and could no longer make a move.
"We need to acquire a large number of crystal cores. There are only three of you ability users in the entire park, plus me, a physical evolutionist. Only we can pose a threat to the third-tier evolutionists of the Haneda Group."
"Although Guo Ping'an and Yang Miao are also second-tier evolvers, they lack special methods and it is difficult for them to threaten third-tier evolvers."
All factories are taking action; at this stage, not making progress is tantamount to regressing.
There's the Haneda ghetto in the north, but nobody knows if there are any other powerful settlements further north.
There are currently no answers to questions about which faction the cultivator belonged to or where Zhang Luoyan's third uncle went.
"Manager Zhang, Supervisor Wang, a large ship is coming from the north against the current, moving very slowly. It belongs to the Haneda Danchi!"
The workers on the rooftop were on guard duty, and they shouted loudly into their walkie-talkies.
When Wang Ce and his two companions reached the rooftop, they saw a large brown ship sailing downstream from the north.
The ship was covered in unknown paint, a garish and somewhat ugly mess, but the large fish seemed to have encountered some terrifying presence and avoided the ship.
"Jingmao Luggage's archers have made their move!"
