Chapter 45 The Impending Flash Flood
Chapter 45 The Impending Flash Flood
The thought that there might be a gathering place for cultivators in the north made everyone feel a sense of urgency, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
"It's not just our industrial park that can be traversed; sinkhole incidents have been happening since ancient times, both domestically and internationally."
"As far as I know, there have been instances in modern times of entire residential communities, schools, hotels, and office buildings being transported through time."
"Those who traveled to the world earlier than us have probably already created entirely new civilizations, so it's not surprising that cultivators have appeared there."
Zhang Luoyan's words made everyone gasp.
Before their journey, they had all heard about the sinkhole incident to some extent, but they subconsciously regarded it as a gimmick for doomsday prophecy.
"When we reach the first or second level of our life level, our power increases dramatically. Those who transmigrated earlier are probably ridiculously strong."
"According to the Dark Forest Theory, every force that has crossed over is now a hunter with a gun. We must remain silent to avoid being attacked and safely get through the current period of rapid development."
Wang Ce has always been prudent in his actions. He hasn't even fully explored the relatively closed primeval forest in the south yet. In such a large forest, he has only opened up three hunting routes, and there is still a lot of room for exploration and development.
The major threats have been largely eliminated, and their industrial park, compared to the primeval forest to the south, can now be described as a terrifying place for upright apes.
While those at higher levels of life may not necessarily be able to advance to the next level, ordinary workers at the bottom can still achieve collective evolution.
The fundamental strategy for the development of industrial parks is to promote the evolution of all employees.
"It's right to remain silent, but our greatest threat to survival right now is not the cultivators who may exist in the north, but the great river in the south."
"Both of your hunting routes are along the concave banks of the river, and you may not have been able to reach the riverbank, so the difference is not obvious."
"Our Fuhuakang Electronics Factory's first hunting route ends at a convex bank, and we hunted along the river for many days, so we are very sensitive to tidal changes."
"Based on the current trend, I have a feeling we're about to experience a major flood!"
Upon hearing Guo Ping'an's words, Yang Miao couldn't help but speak up:
"Our foundation is in the industrial park, and at least for now, we still need to rely on the power system."
"If we abandon the industrial park and relocate to other places, it would probably be even more dangerous. Many people would die just on the way there."
Zhou Li adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "If it really comes to a critical moment, Daqiang Electronics Technology is willing to deploy all its drones to search north again and reconnoiter the enemy's situation."
Wang Ce glanced at Zhou Li with some surprise. This cunning merchant actually had such high awareness. Could he be just shouting slogans?
Guo Pingan turned on the monitor in front of the conference room, which displayed a complete 3D topographic map, which should be the uncut version of Daqiang Electronics Technology.
Because the locations of black eagles and ancient crocodiles were also marked on the third hunting route.
Zhang Luoyan merely raised her eyelids slightly, showing no anger or other emotional fluctuations.
It's human nature to have hidden cards up one's sleeve, but people like Zhou Jiakun, who acquired multiple factories for free after transmigrating, are a minority.
Even Wang Ce spread rumors and cheated a lot of crystal cores, didn't he?
If you are not as skilled as others, then stand firm when you are beaten; the strong never complain about their circumstances.
"Our first hunting route ended on a convex bank, where the tides were more intense than those of the Qiantang River."
"Manager Zhang has walked this road before. You know that hill where our workers stayed behind, right? When the water rises, it can reach there."
"These past two days I've noticed that the water level seems to be rising more and more. I'm worried that one day there will be a sudden flood and our industrial park will be submerged."
"Mr. Guo said that there are three moons here, so the tidal patterns cannot be calculated according to common sense about Earth."
"We don't know where the flood will reach or how large it will be, so even if we are to relocate, we don't know where to go."
Guo Pingan kept zooming in and out of the map, seemingly trying to find a way out.
We have a pretty good understanding of the situation in the south of the park. It seems that this area is prone to flooding, so there aren't many living organisms there.
Their situation is awkward now. Running away means starting all over again, which is still relatively good, but there might be cultivators gathering in the north.
If you were to run headlong into it, you would be walking into a trap.
If we don't run, a major flood is about to break out, and who knows how deep the water will go?
There must be evolved creatures in the river. If they all drown, can they still fight against aquatic creatures in the water?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Wang Ce finally spoke up: "There's no need for everyone to worry unnecessarily. Our situation might not be as bad as we think."
"First, there's the crisis in the north. Our area is resource-poor, so as long as we don't expand outwards, the probability of us being discovered isn't that high."
"While clearing out the supplies in the southern forest, we can send an elite team to the north to scout out the situation and investigate the north."
"Secondly, it is impossible for us to abandon the industrial park as our core business right now. Once we leave the industrial park, all of us will be no different from primitive people who eat raw meat and drink blood."
"If there is a major flood in the south, we can build dikes or dig ditches to divert the water."
"Even if our industrial park is flooded, it won't be more than two stories high."
"Based on my observation, only the first hunting trail and the trees near the park have layered trunks."
"In other words, if there is a flood, it will most likely pour down from the first hunting trail, and the depth will not be too high."
"If they are people who have lived in the nearby area for a long time, they would definitely know that a major flood is coming, and their residences would be far away from the areas that the flood will pass through."
"It's actually safest for us to stay here."
Wang Ce's words were refreshing to everyone, and they all expressed their high approval. This is what is meant by "the darkest place is under the lamp."
No wonder he fooled everyone in the industrial park; his logical thinking was incredibly meticulous.
Zhou Li adjusted his glasses, and at this point, he had no choice but to put aside his reservations and say:
"Manager Wang is right. If we stay, we will only have to face the flood, but if we migrate, we will have to confront other organizations."
"We are still too fragile. It is the right way to stay in our corner and focus on development."
"Because there was an airport nearby before the crossing, our industrial park only has five floors at most, so we could only move the equipment and power facilities upstairs as much as possible."
Luo Ji, who was in charge of Jingmao, nodded and suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you Shenghong were thinking of building a ship on the roof. It turns out you had been preparing for this all along."
Both major forces looked at Zhang Luoyan with some surprise, and in comparison, they seemed a bit dumbfounded.
Guo Pingan glanced at the nonchalant Zhang Luoyan, then at Wang Ce, who was at the first level of life, and his eyelids drooped, as if he were thinking about something.
He then abruptly looked up and said, "Then the meeting is adjourned. Let's go back and make preparations as soon as possible!"
"These past two days, the tidal patterns have been completely unpredictable, and the flood could come at any time."
After leaving the Fuhuakang factory, Wang Ce seemed to sense something and looked back at the fifth floor of the factory, but it was empty and he couldn't see anything.
The ancients had a saying about acting on a whim. Wang Ce had just felt someone was watching him, but when he turned around he saw nothing, so he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhang Luoyan, standing beside him, said without turning her head, "Your senses are very sharp. Guo Ping'an is right behind the window of the conference room on the fifth floor."
"He simply disdains playing mind games, but that doesn't mean he lacks ambition."
"During the meeting in the conference room just now, he tried to suppress me and Yang Miao, who are both second-tier leaders. Yang Miao and I remained relatively silent and did not give him the opportunity."
"That's why he seemed a little dissatisfied when you spoke up."
Wang Ce nodded. He understood. Who wouldn't want to be the boss? It's all about who uses what.
"There is a possibility of a major flood at any time, and there are unknown forces to the north. There shouldn't be any major armed conflicts inside the park."
Zhang Luoyan shook her head and said, "You don't understand politics. Does Guo Ping'an not understand it, and do the people around him not either? Haven't you heard of donning the imperial robes?"
"Struggle is inevitable, but if we maintain a state of relative restraint, then it depends on who has the stronger dominance in the upcoming changes."
