Chapter 19 Using a borrowed knife to kill
Chapter 19 Using a borrowed knife to kill
"Which factory do you work for, kid? Don't cause trouble here, get back home!"
"Didn't our colleagues on the hill tell you it's dangerous here? You should pick a time to take advantage of others. Let's get out of here."
Upon seeing Wang Ce catch up, the evolved humans of Fuhuakang lowered their voices, each one filled with rage.
Hunting mudskippers is extremely dangerous, and if a bad teammate causes everyone to be in danger, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.
There are twelve evolved beings here. Fu Huakang truly lives up to his reputation as a pioneer of this hunting route in the south, managing to gather so many evolved beings.
The leader was a young man with a muscular physique, who probably had good physical fitness before he transmigrated.
Because while crystal nuclei can enhance muscle strength, they cannot shape the muscles.
"Brothers from Fuhuakang, don't be angry. I am Wang Ce from Shenghong Precision, and I am also an Evolver. I have served in the army. There will only be benefits and no harm in joining."
Wang Ce wasn't angry at these people's rude attitude. If it were him, he wouldn't have given them a friendly look if strangers followed him when he was preparing to hunt.
Sure enough, the expressions of these people softened considerably after they heard that Wang Ce was also an evolved being.
Although they didn't know what an evolved being was, they figured it was something similar to them.
As long as they're not a burden, that's fine; after all, more people mean more strength.
"Alright, I'll take you along. I'm Guo Ping'an, the captain of the Fuhuakang Hunting Team."
"These fish don't have very good eyesight; they can probably only see about five or six meters."
"Twenty meters is basically an absolutely safe distance. We quietly sneak up nearby, then take the opportunity to find a lone mudskipper, electrocute it with an electric net, and drag it away."
"You've evolved too, so you're qualified to join us. Even if you don't play a significant role, we'll still share some of the spoils with you."
Guo Ping'an led the team slowly towards the riverbank, and even took the time to explain a few words to Wang Ce, showing that he was quite enthusiastic.
However, Guo Ping'an was also one of those who told him to go back earlier. No matter what, strength is the ticket to gaining respect.
If he weren't an evolved being, he wouldn't even be qualified to join the team, let alone get a share of the meat.
It is foreseeable that if evolved beings can exert power beyond the industrial system, then whoever has more evolved beings will have the right to speak in the future.
"Wait a minute, it looks like someone's coming from the dense forest to our right rear. Are they from Sheng Hong?"
Guo Ping'an ordered the team to stop because about fifty more people were arriving, and even ordinary people would have a huge impact on the operation.
Moreover, this team was all men, carrying all sorts of things, and they came with a menacing air, not like they were there to hunt, but rather like they were there to fight.
Guo Ping'an's words caused the people at Fuhuakang Electronics Factory to look at Wang Ce with hostility.
Now that the entire industrial park has been traversed, everyone understands that the constraints of the law are like a blank sheet of paper, and everything depends on each person's bottom line.
The complexities of human nature will be magnified infinitely, and murder and robbery will no longer be uncommon occurrences.
There have even been reports of factories serving untreated meat.
"There are only 41 people in our Shenghong group. I saw nearly 50 of them rushing out of the dense forest. They are definitely not our people."
"We looted the supermarket on our very first night through the journey, and we still haven't finished eating all the food. How could we possibly do something so stupid?"
"If you don't trust me, and they try to harm you later, I'll be the first to rush in and kill them!"
Wang Ce spoke with such conviction that Guo Ping'an and the others' doubts lessened somewhat. After all, Wang Ce said he was the first to go, and no organization would sacrifice an evolved human, right?
Seeing the group of about fifty men charging out of the forest with great momentum, they actually spread out their battle lines, clearly intending to cut off their retreat.
Guo Ping'an was a bit stunned. They were doing very well on this hunting route in the south, and they never dreamed that a factory would dare to openly target them.
"Where did this team come from? How dare they go down there? Haven't they heard that several people died down there yesterday?"
The hunting team at the No. 50-plus Fuhuakang Electronics Processing Plant on the hill, seeing Zhao Erde's posture, preferred to believe that they were there to provide support rather than believe that these people would dare to rob their Fuhuakang.
When Wang Ce saw Zhao Erde, who was charging at the front, he instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Zhao Erde probably saw him there and assumed that the dozen or so people in the team were from Shenghong Precision, so he wanted to lead his men to wipe them all out.
With the loss of more than a dozen young and strong men, Shenghong Precision's strength has been greatly diminished. As long as they guard the factory gate, they can wear down the people inside the factory.
At that time, the factory's metal equipment will naturally fall into their hands.
He's good at scheming, but he's a bit stupid.
Anyone who asks around will know that this road was opened up by Fuhuakang, and that they have more than fifty people on the hill to provide support.
"Captain Guo, these people are acting strangely. They've blocked our escape route and are clearly planning to swallow us up."
"I have a way to kill them all in one fell swoop!"
Wang Ce remained calm, but his words caused Guo Ping'an and the others to change their expressions.
Although they killed many wild beasts, they were all electrocuted by electric fences, so it wasn't that bloody.
When it comes to murder, most people feel a sense of dread and a natural aversion to it.
"Brother Wang Ce, I believe you're not on their team. You don't need to prove yourself like this."
"Everyone's journey through time is difficult, so as long as it's not too extreme, there's no need to go to extremes."
Guo Ping'an's mindset hasn't adapted to the environment after his transmigration. Perhaps his experience is insufficient, and he doesn't know the wickedness of human nature.
"Captain Guo, these people are from Xinke Plastics Factory in the north of the park. The one in charge, Zhao Erde, humiliated their boss's wife in every way on his first day after arriving in the world."
"That's not all, he basically forced himself on all the women in their factory."
"When I went out this morning, I saw that a female worker in their factory jumped from the third floor and died because she refused to comply. She was barely clothed when she fell, it was a very tragic scene."
"Most importantly, the woman's body was immediately dragged back after she jumped. The way they looked at her was the same way we look at mudskippers now."
Guo Ping'an's eyes widened instantly, and he asked hesitantly, "They eat white meat?"
Wang Ce spread his hands and said, "I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure. But the fact that he's coming over to surround us proves that they've done it many times in the park."
"Captain Guo, these guys are scum. If you don't listen to what this handsome guy has to say, he really has a way to get rid of these scoundrels. It would be like eliminating a scourge for the people."
"Exactly. When we were developing this hunting route, didn't we also have some idiots who thought it was our duty? There was even a moron who pushed one of our factory workers down to cover for him, which resulted in our factory worker being bitten to death by a wild animal."
Guo Pingan sighed as he watched the people from Xinke Plastics Factory gradually gather around.
"I'm certainly not some soft-hearted, indiscriminately kind person, but there are fifty people like this. Surely there isn't a single good person among them?"
Soon, Zhao Erde led his men and rushed over, and their speed increased rapidly.
"Brothers, they only have one bow, charge faster, he can only fire one arrow at most."
"If we kill all of these people, we can hold out for a few more days."
"I guarantee that when we get back, everyone will have plenty of women to play with, and you'll all have your fill!"
Zhao Erde shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to boost morale. The hunting team from Xinke Plastics Factory began to speed up and rush towards them, each one looking menacing.
The people at Fuhuakang Electronics Factory all had ashen faces, as if they were hearing Wang Ce's account.
Hearing Zhao Erde's undisguised pronouncements now, I feel my values have been severely shaken.
They found it hard to imagine how a person could become so evil and cruel in just a few days.
"Brother Wang Ce, what do you suggest? Should we just use electric fences to kill them?"
"There are too many of them. Although we have evolved, we are still just ordinary workers at heart. We may not be as capable as you, and we might not be able to defeat them."
"Should I call down those who stayed on the hill? These people are truly scum, they deserve to die."
Guo Ping'an was determined to eradicate these malignant tumors. Their original strategic goal for Fuhuakang Electronics Factory was to gradually take control of the entire industrial park.
First, they used a gentle policy to allow other factories to share the hunting and gathering routes opened up by Fuwakang.
Then, by gradually guiding the behavior of other factories, making them heavily dependent on Fuhuakang, they naturally gained control of the resources of the entire industrial park.
This kind of cancer definitely cannot be allowed to remain. It's a good thing to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome if they develop evolved beings later.
"We don't need to fight them to the death. We're evolved beings; we can definitely run faster than them, right?"
"Tell me, if we provoke the mudskippers on the riverbank and they come after us, who will suffer, them or us?"
Wang Ce's words made Guo Ping'an and the others instantly understand. They looked at the handsome young man again and felt that he was a force to be reckoned with. What a clever way to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
