#29 - Chapter 29 Chemical Plant

Qin Jin and his group left An County Police Station.

They continued driving towards their next destination.

It wasn't far, only about thirty kilometers.

Normally, it wouldn't take an hour to get there.

Originally, this wasn't the target because it was expected to take a lot of time in An County, and the remaining time would be used to rush back to the base.

Now it's different.

They didn't delay much in An County.

It's only a little after one o'clock now, so arriving at the next place will be a little after two o'clock.

It's even closer to get back to the base from there, only twenty-odd kilometers, not even an hour.

The combat team's vehicles drove along the road.

They "picked up" a few more vehicles in the morning and just now, and the convoy once again exceeded double digits.

This time, the destination is a chemical factory.

Located next to Mentang Town, possibly due to pollution and the nature of the factory, it was built in a relatively remote suburb.

Qin Jin had inquired about this factory a long time ago. It mainly produces various chemical products, and that's his purpose!

It has a large output of nitric acid, and nitric acid can be used to produce highly explosive substances such as nitroglycerin, trinitrotoluene, and nitrocellulose!

And there's a lot of gunpowder here!

Before the apocalypse, he had already spent money to have people figure it out. He knew all kinds of chemical factories within hundreds of kilometers around the base like the back of his hand!

He had also stockpiled some chemicals before, which could be used to make some explosives in small batches.

But it was impossible to stockpile in large quantities.

Due to the different nature of the factory, messing around could easily get you invited for tea.

This time, on the way back, they happened to pass by this place, so they would go and scout it out first.

By the way, see if there's anything convenient to move and transport some back to the base, which would be great.

They have guns, and even more powerful explosives are definitely indispensable.

Even the production of bullets requires gunpowder.

The team quickly arrived near the chemical factory.

Possibly due to the suburban location, the surrounding area was relatively desolate, and only a few buildings could be seen from afar, mainly low-rise residential houses.

This chemical factory is also surrounded by walls, with an estimated wall height of just over two meters.

The area inside is very large, with many various buildings.

Even without releasing the drone for reconnaissance, some traces of chaos can be seen in the factory area.

Li Bowen found Qin Jin and asked, "President Qin, should we release the drone for reconnaissance first?"

Qin Jin replied, "Okay, let's release the drone to take a look around first. If there are zombies, we'll lure them away first, and then go in to search!"

The action was quick, and the drone flew into the factory area.

Now it can be seen more clearly.

Some cars and buildings inside show signs of chaos, some doors are open, and some dark red bloodstains can be vaguely seen on the ground.

There is no doubt that zombies have appeared here.

Perhaps due to meeting safety standards, even if a zombie outbreak occurred here, there doesn't seem to have been any fire.

Otherwise, so many chemicals here might cause a more serious disaster.

After the reconnaissance was almost complete, the sound-emitting ball under the drone began to work.

A burst of high-pitched music rang out, and the factory was immediately agitated.

Many zombies wearing blue overalls ran out of various buildings!

Perhaps they were working overtime when the mutation occurred at night. There were many people in the factory, and most of them suffered after the mutation came.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of zombies were attracted!

Mixed in were some zombies wearing white overalls and ordinary clothes.

They may have been managers or senior management, and now they have become members of the zombie army.

After a few minutes, no new zombies appeared.

The team member Xiao Liu, who was operating the drone, skillfully led the horde of corpses towards the opened factory gate, preparing to lure them further away.

This Xiao Liu used to be an ordinary employee of Lvyuan, and joined the combat team after the disaster.

Because he used to have a hobby of playing with drones and has rich experience, he has been entrusted with many kite missions.

He has had many successful kiting experiences, and his multiple perfect lures of zombies in the past two days have won him high praise from Qin Jin and other team members.

Soon the horde of corpses was led away from the factory area and walked along the road outside towards the distance.

It is unknown where they will eventually be led, possibly limited by the drone's operating distance.

The combat team skillfully drove all the vehicles into the factory area and blocked the only gate.

The team members then took their equipment and got out of the car to stand guard.

Qin Jin looked around. This factory area is much larger than Lvyuan.

Possibly because they had to produce dangerous goods before, the various workshops and warehouses were quite far apart.

In addition to a few office buildings and dormitories, most of them are large warehouses and equipment.

Looking at the surrounding walls that are more than two meters high, he was thoughtful.

This place might be used as a backup base or a branch base.

The location of this chemical factory belongs to Meishan Town, adjacent to Mentang Town.

It is about twenty kilometers away from the Lvyuan base, and a normal one-way trip can take half an hour.

Plus, there is already a preliminary wall, and the defense force is okay.

Various chemical products are also important materials for future development and growth!

Unfortunately, no matter how good this place is, it can only be a branch base at most, and it cannot replace Lvyuan's main position.

Because there is no way to produce food here, and the walls are too long and too short, it is difficult to raise them to a satisfactory height.

Plus, the soil and water sources here are also a problem.

You need to know that in the later stage, it is not just the zombie crisis, but also various natural disasters.

Food cannot be planted directly!

To develop this place, a very large number of people will be needed, which will pull back to the food problem.

For the time being, let's just treat it as a resource point, and make plans based on the situation in the future.

This time, Qin Jin did not lead the team to solve the zombies and search for supplies.

He and his cousin Qin Zhe, who usually stayed behind to guard the vehicles and observe the environment, were together in the open space of the factory area.

As the leader of Lvyuan, there is no need to lead the team to charge into battle every time. Occasionally, it is necessary to give others some room to play.

The combat team was divided into small teams, and under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they went to search the office building first.

There may be some information saved here. If found, it can directly understand what chemical products are roughly in this chemical factory, daily output, and personnel situation, etc.

Qin Jin stayed in the factory area with Qin Zhe, looking at some of the surrounding buildings, wondering if the things he wanted were placed inside.

At this time, Qin Zhe saw that only his cousin was nearby, hesitated, and said to him:

"Brother, do you think this world will return to its original state in the future?"

Only when there are no other people present does he dare to call Qin Jin brother, which is also some tacit understanding among others.

Qin Jin came back to his senses.

Looking at his cousin, he didn't expect him to ask this question.

He thought carefully for a while.

Then he said to Qin Zhe:

"I don't know if we can go back in the future. But it's unlikely, those who have become zombies and those who have died will not come back. Even if all the zombies are eliminated, there will not be many humans left."

The light in Qin Zhe's eyes dimmed.

Indeed.

Those people will not come back.

Classmates, friends, colleagues, relatives with weaker relationships, etc., it seems that there is no chance to meet again.

It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but the more he thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Today, he is alone with his cousin, who is definitely the most awesome person in his eyes.

When he was a child, this cousin also performed well. Although he was not the child of other people's families that parents often mentioned, he was also a role model that his parents wanted him to learn from.

Later, after graduating, he was also quite satisfactory, but he became extraordinary at the beginning of this year.

I don't know where he made a lot of money and created a huge company.

This is not even the most powerful thing, the most powerful thing is after the disaster a few days ago.

As the factory owner, he managed the entire factory in an orderly manner, allowing everyone to have a relatively stable environment to survive.

Those who disobeyed were directly dealt with by thunderous means.

The original factory has become the hope for many people to survive.

Now they have more and more weapons.

Many of them are no longer desperate about their future lives.

It can be said that now my cousin is the leader in the hearts of many people.

The kind that is sincere and willing to obey.

Qin Jin also vaguely knew what his relatives and friends were thinking.

Many people, even if they were close to him before, would not show it in public recently.

They would only call him "President Qin" or "Boss".

Only occasionally in private would they use some personal names.

He didn't feel much about this.

He was originally a person who liked to be alone. Except for the people he cared about, he was too lazy to care about others as long as they didn't provoke him.

He patted Qin Zhe on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile:

"Don't be so pessimistic, we are still alive now, and we will get better and better!"

"Believe in your brother!"

Looking at his cousin's smile.

Qin Zhe also seemed to be infected, and the stone weighing on his heart lightened a bit.

Yes, it's good to continue walking with my cousin.

Just as the two were chatting, a call came from the walkie-talkie.

It was Zhang Tiankai's voice.

Inside, he said: "President Qin, if possible, please come over here to the third floor to take a look. We found a few survivors in a room! Suspected of knowing the information of this chemical factory!"

Oh?

Qin Jin became interested when he heard this.

If there are people who are familiar with this place, that would be great.

After saying hello to Qin Zhe, he rushed over quickly.

There is only one office building in this chemical factory.

Go straight in through the door, find the stairs, and come to the third floor.

I saw that a team member was already waiting, leading him to the location Zhang Tiankai said.

This is a fairly luxuriously decorated office.

At this time, there were many people surrounded inside, Zhang Tiankai's team, and Liu Wenhao's team were all here.

There are three people in the middle surrounded by them.

Two men and one woman.

Both men are about thirty or forty years old.

One of them is wearing the same blue overalls as most of the zombies that were lured away just now.

The other is wearing white overalls, suspected to be a manager or technician.

As for that woman.

She is dressed exquisitely, has a beautiful appearance, and looks about thirty years old.

Wearing a professional career woman outfit, the curves of her body support the clothes with protruding front and back, wearing gold-rimmed frameless glasses in front of her eyes, standing in front of the two men, her eyes contain air, and her aura is strong.

The other two seem to be headed by her.

Seeing Qin Jin coming over, the combat team members gave way.

Qin Jin took the opportunity to stand in front of the three people, carefully looking at these people.

Seemingly also seeing that the man in front of him is the head of these people, the woman's eyes are sharp, ignoring the winks of the two men next to her, and rudely questioning Qin Jin:

"Are you the leader of these people? It's been several days since the accident? Why are you only coming to save us now?"

"Do you know how we've been living these past few days?"

"We were almost eaten by the dead guys outside!"

Questions were thrown out like a cannon.

Seeming to vent her dissatisfaction.

Qin Jin's already bad mood due to the unpleasantness at noon suddenly became even worse.

His face instantly turned cold, and he turned expressionlessly to Zhang Tiankai, who also had a slightly changed expression, and asked him:

"Who are these people?"

Zhang Tiankai couldn't help but want to slap that woman at this time.

At this time, he had to bite the bullet and answer:

"Sorry, President Qin, these people are originally from the chemical factory. Just now I asked them, the woman is the general manager here, the two men are a technical director and a production manager."

"When we searched this room, they saw living people and thought we were a rescue team. We asked them some questions, and before we explained to them, we invited you over. I'm very sorry!"

Heh.

So these people thought we were a rescue team to save them?

Qin Jin understood in his heart.

I roughly know why that woman has this kind of tone.

I'm afraid she thinks there is still order outside?

He was too lazy to pay attention to that woman, but he was very interested in that technical director.

Ignoring the aggressive woman, he went straight to the technical director and asked:

"Are you the technical director here? Are you interested in coming with me!?"

He directly threw out an olive branch.

Hearing this.

The woman next to her refused.

The person who took the lead just now ignored her!

She hasn't even made a single expression after coming for so long?

When has she ever been treated like this?

She took a step forward, akimbo, straightened her crisp chest, pointed at Qin Jin's nose and shouted sharply:

"I'm talking to you!!! I'm in charge here! No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"

"Also, you immediately save me! My dad is the director of Tiansheng Group! I'm still the general manager here! As long as you save me, I will give you credit in the future!"

"And you! Tell me the number immediately! I want to complain to your superiors after I go out! Is this how you treat victims!?"

"I'm going to sue you!"
