Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 1: The entire factory has been transported to another world.

"Brother Ce, something terrible has happened! There's a ghost in the hallway! I'm not kidding, it's for real!"

In the darkness, the phone's flashlight was turned on, and a fat man with a panicked expression stumbled into the office.

Wang Ce nodded and laughed, "Right, right, there's a ghost, and it's a female ghost."

"It's just a power outage. Did you think I'd ask you to go downstairs and check the gate? You're so lazy."

"My phone has no signal and I can't contact the property management, so I'll come down with you."

Looking at the messages with exclamation marks that had been circulating in the property management group chat, Wang Ce turned on his phone's flashlight and prepared to walk towards the stairwell.

"Brother Ce, I'm telling you seriously, there really is a ghost in the hallway, don't go there!"

Huang Feipeng grabbed Wang Ce, his eyes filled with fear, and he was trembling, clearly terrified.

Without saying a word, Wang Ce decisively stepped back, closed the glass door of the office, and pulled Huang Feipeng into the factory director's office.

This factory just moved here. He's the only e-commerce operator in the fifth-floor office. Huang Feipeng is a shrewd salesman on the second floor, and like him, he came from the old factory to provide support.

He knew Huang Feipeng well; although he was usually jovial, he wouldn't make jokes like that.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. What did you see when you went downstairs?"

It's 8:42 PM now, and it's pitch black outside. The entire park must be without power.

Moreover, there was no cell phone signal, so messages couldn't be sent and calls couldn't be made, which was indeed a bit strange.

"Brother Ce, when we were checking the order process in the office just now, there was a sudden power outage, right? Can you let me go downstairs to check the situation? I'll go down from upstairs."

"When I was turning from the third floor to the second floor, I suddenly heard a strange, hollow sound. I thought someone was playing music, so although I was startled, I didn't think much of it."

Wang Ce nodded and pulled his hand away from Huang Feipeng's painful grip. If he weren't so familiar with Huang Feipeng, he would have suspected that Huang Feipeng might have some unconventional sexual orientation.

"Then, as I turned the corner, I saw a female ghost in white with long hair. She smiled at me. Holy crap, that female ghost smiled at me!"

Huang Feipeng was genuinely terrified; cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

"Our factory just moved here, and there's only one woman in HR. She leaves work at 5:30 and doesn't live in the employee dormitory. There can't possibly be any women in the factory now, can there?"

Wang Ce was a little puzzled. Huang Feipeng wasn't stupid; he had graduated from a junior college with Wang Ce, so why would he believe in ghosts and monsters?

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be faking it. Could there really be a ghost?

"Yes, the equipment on the third and fourth floors hasn't been moved here yet. The CNC lathe operators on the first floor and the sewing machine operators on the second floor are all men. There can't be any women in the entire factory."

"Otherwise, would I have been so scared? That female ghost walked around with her own background music, it was so eerie, it scared my legs to the bone!"

Huang Feipeng had calmed down a bit, and the two of them groped their way into the small refrigerator in the factory manager's office and took out two cans of Coca-Cola.

"Why is this cola sugar-free? It tastes awful!"

After downing a sip of sugary soda, Huang Feipeng spoke much more fluently, while Wang Ce looked down from the window.

Some people were running around the park with their car lights on, shouting and flashlights waving everywhere, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

There was an earthy smell in the air, unlike the smell that should be in the city. The streets and buildings outside the park were also pitch black, without even a single spark of light. Could it be that there was a power outage outside as well?

"Huh? Why are there three moons in the sky? Is it refraction or reflection?"

Just as Wang Ce was about to open the window to see what was happening outside, the clear sound of high heels walking could be heard outside the factory manager's office.

"Empty, empty, empty, empty—"

"It's that female ghost with her own background music!"

Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng exchanged a glance, not daring to breathe too loudly. The machining factory was full of men, so there couldn't be any women there.

"Wang Ce, Huang Feipeng, what are you two doing? The downstairs area is a complete mess, and you two are hiding in the office drinking cola!"

The office door opened, and a beam of flashlight shone on the two of them.

Two figures, each holding a can of cola, were squatting motionless in the corner, their pupils dilated and lips slightly parted, seemingly startled.

"Zhang Luoyan? Huang Feipeng insists he saw a ghost. He just grabbed me and wouldn't let me go downstairs no matter what."

Wang Ce pointed at Huang Feipeng, whose face was full of disbelief, and spread his hands, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

"Isn't Manager Zhang at the old factory? What are you doing at the new factory so late?"

Huang Feipeng was a little puzzled. Zhang Luoyan was the factory director's daughter and had just returned from studying abroad.

The factory's work is usually handled by the factory manager's son. This is Zhang Luoyan's first time here, two months after the factory opened.

Zhang Luoyan nodded, then said with a serious expression, "The new factory only has the two of you as long-term employees. The production line workers are all newly recruited. I'll come over with the equipment tonight and check their wages tomorrow."

"The instant the truck entered the industrial park, an unimaginable change occurred outside; our entire industrial park was transported through it!"

"What?! We've time-traveled?!"

Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng's voices suddenly rose. If anyone else had said these words, they would have thought the other was an idiot.

Zhang Luoyan is a typical career woman, decisive and efficient. Although they haven't had much contact, they both know that she's not the type to make jokes like that.

"That's right, we've traversed the entire industrial park. Now, it seems like the area outside the park is all forest."

"Moreover, I heard sounds like wolves howling coming from inside the forest. I'm afraid there are wild beasts around, so I don't dare to go out rashly."

"The first thing to do now is to immediately organize people to scavenge for food at the park's supermarket!"

Zhang Luoyan turned and walked towards the stairwell, with Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng quickly following behind.

If what Zhang Luoyan said is true, and the entire industrial park has been transported through time, then the most pressing issue is a food crisis. This woman is very clear-headed.

Soon, Zhang Luoyan gathered the workers on duty on the first and second floors together. Then, each of them carried an unprocessed stainless steel pipe and a white snakeskin bag, and headed straight for the park supermarket.

"The entire industrial park is without water and electricity. It seems we really have traveled through time. I just heard people from other factories say that the area outside the park looks like a forest!"

"The emergency number is unreachable, it must be teleported, and there are three moons in the sky, it's definitely not on Earth."

"Anyway, I'm single, so being transmigrated might not be a bad thing. With my knowledge from reading novels, memorizing some poems, making some soap, and distilling high-proof liquor shouldn't be a problem."

"Look at your pathetic self! We're in the machining business. Once the backup power is on, the equipment we produce is unparalleled weaponry!"

This is a new factory, and the machining is all automated, so there are only 23 workers on the night shift. Adding Wang Ce and his two companions, there are a total of 26 people.

Hearing that they had time-traveled, none of them were afraid; they were even a little excited. Of the people who could get into the factory, nine out of ten were tough nut to crack.

Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng trailed behind the group, exchanged a glance, and deliberately lagged half a step behind.

Huang Feipeng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ce, the park is in such chaos, it's most likely that we've really traveled through time."

"You served two years of compulsory military service, and I used to practice classical wrestling. Most people are no match for us. Why don't we follow the example of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, form a powerful force, grow strong, and create a glorious future!"

Wang Ce glanced at Huang Feipeng, who was lost in his beautiful daydreams, and said irritably, "Have you gone stupid from reading novels? I joined the army, not to become a superhero. Without a gun, I'm not much better than an ordinary person."

"No matter how good you are at fighting, can you take on ten people? Right now, sticking together for mutual support is the best option."

"However, there are one or two thousand people in the park, so conflicts are bound to happen. We really need to be prepared to deal with it."

Huang Feipeng chuckled, somewhat doubtfully, and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. We're all in the same industrial park, and we see each other all the time. It shouldn't be too much."

Wang Ce looked at the supermarket entrance in the park, pointed at the arguing crowd, and said with a smirk, "See? Everyone here is smart; they know to grab food as soon as possible."

"Once you've transmigrated, there's no established order. As long as food is plentiful, things will naturally be peaceful. But once food becomes scarce, conflicts will escalate rapidly!"

"Zhang Luoyan is a smart woman. She knows that the two of us came from the old factory. She called us up before setting off to do this kind of thing. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to command the workers on the first and second floors."

Huang Feipeng tightened his grip on the steel pipe. Wang Ce was always prudent in his actions, so he could just blindly follow his lead and go all in; it was definitely better than him figuring things out on his own.
