A few hours later.
Other than a broken wall, the steel mill had returned to its original state. All the corpses had been disposed of, and even the blood stains on the ground had been mostly washed away.
If not for the lingering smell of blood in the air,
It was impossible to tell that a massacre had just occurred here.
Qin Feng stayed in the office on the second floor of the steel mill.
The office was located in the middle of the steel mill and had two floors!
From the second floor, one could see the situation in the factory, but one had to go through a metal staircase to get up.
This place had been transformed by Brother Yong and the others into a bedroom for eating, drinking, and having fun. Food was also piled up here.
Qin Feng asked someone to bring the food out and redistribute it.
Some of the things that made him feel disgusted were also thrown out.
At this moment.
On the second floor of the empty office, there were only him, a few desks, and the Mark1 armor that was charging in the corner.
While the armor was charging, he forbade others from entering the office.
"Jarvis, report the situation.”
Qin Feng asked in a deep voice when he saw that the corpses had been dealt with outside.
"Sir, including family members, there are 17 survivors, of which 6 are workers and only 5 are able to work.”
"One died?"
Qin Feng remembered that there were seven workers before, and two of them were seriously injured. The one who died should be one of them.
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis paused for a moment and explained,""Two were heavily injured, one had a broken limb, and the other died from excessive blood loss.”
"What about the steel reserves?" Qin Feng asked again.
"There are sufficient materials, but the electricity supply will stop in six days.”
"Only six days left…"
Hearing Jarvis's words, Qin Feng could not help but frown.
The villa was still fine. At most, they could get a few diesel generators and make do.
But factories were different.
The demand for industrial electricity was definitely not something that could be satisfied with just a few generators!
Nowadays, it was all mechanized steel making!
Without electricity, no matter how many raw materials there were, it would not work!
"The production schedule of the ark reactor has to be brought forward!”Qin Feng made a decision in his heart.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the office.
"Chen Guoli, male, 76 years old, no hostility, unarmed.”
Jarvis finished scanning and revealed the person's identity.
Knock ~ Knock ~
"Come in."
Qin Feng's voice rang out as soon as the knock on the door sounded.
"Mr.…Mr. Qin."
Old Chen pushed open the door and shouted. Qin Feng had already told them his name.
"The people below have already been arranged. I'm here to report to you.”
As Old Chen spoke, he took out a crumpled piece of paper and read,"
"There are still 17 people alive in the factory. As for the workers, there are five of them including me. The others have some understanding of steel-making.”
"There's another person…"
"He used to be a veteran in the factory and has rich experience in steel-making, but today…"
At this point, Elder Chen's expression was a little nervous. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Is it the crippled one?"
Qin Feng instantly understood who Old Chen was talking about and said directly,""I don't have any extra food here to feed a cripple.”
"But…"
"Let him teach others how to make steel. If he can teach them, he can stay here. If he can't, he can get lost.”
Old Chen was about to speak when Qin Feng interrupted him.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin! Thank you!"
"No need to thank me yet."
Qin Feng looked at the 70-year-old man in front of him and said indifferently,"
"There's no one else here, so I'll make it clear to you.
I saved you because I need you to help me make steel. This is your value.
Because of this value, I saved you and will protect you in the future.
In the same way,
If you lose this value one day, you will also lose my protection. Simply put, you will be like the disabled worker below.”
Qin Feng had a calm expression as he spoke out his purpose without concealing it in the slightest.
He had never been a great and honorable person.
He knew this better than anyone else!
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. As long as you give the order, the furnace can be turned on at any time!”
Elder Chen felt more at ease after hearing Qin Feng's words.
Although Qin Feng's words were cruel, they revealed a crucial piece of information!
That was…
As long as they could make steel, Qin Feng would always protect them.
"There's no hurry now."
Qin Feng shook his head. He didn't forget that there were still Night Demons around him that he hadn't dealt with yet, so he said,""Go and call the person. I have something to say.”
"Alright."
Elder Chen nodded and left the office immediately.
Qin Feng looked at the old man's back and shook his head slightly.
He wasn't angry at the old man for stopping him from taking Annie away. Instead, he felt a hint of admiration for her.
In that situation,
When everyone else chose to remain silent, only this stubborn old man dared to stand up and confront him.
"It's an old cannon."
Qin Feng smiled and put on the fully charged Mark armor before going downstairs.
At this moment,
Old Chen had already gathered everyone together and was waiting for Qin Feng to speak.
"I chatted with Old Chen for a while just now.”
"Just like I said before, you help me make steel, and I'll protect you and provide you with food and water.”
Qin Feng walked in front of everyone. His voice sounded muffled through the Mark armor.
"That's great!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin! We haven't eaten for a long time!"
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, a voice echoed from below.
Qin Feng's act of distributing food had already gained the initial trust of a portion of people.
"The matter of smelting steel is settled!"
"You can ask Old Chen about the details. I want to talk about something else!”
"Nightstalker!"
Qin Feng looked at the seventeen people below and said in a serious tone.
"Night Demon?"
"That's what you call a vampire!”
The workers were about to ask questions when Qin Feng's words immediately awakened the fear in everyone's hearts.
"Oh no! It would be dark in a few hours!”
"We were lucky last night. Vampires, no, Nightstalker didn't find us.”
"Mr. Qin, why don't we leave quickly?”
When they thought of the Night Demon's howls last night, everyone was terrified. Some even suggested leaving this place.
However, his suggestion made sense!
Night Demon already knew that there were human survivors in the industrial zone!
Last night, they were lucky enough to escape, but they couldn't hide forever!
The Nightstalker would discover this place sooner or later!
Especially since the battle had lasted for such a long time today, and the smell of blood was so strong, it was basically a certainty that the Night Demons would come looking for them!
"It seems that you all know the situation very well. This is good too. It saves me the trouble of repeating it again.”
Qin Feng saw everyone's reaction and was not surprised. He only said indifferently,"The Night Demons are dangerous, but my plan is not to escape.”
"Mr. Qin, tell us what you want us to do.”
Old Chen walked out from the crowd and set an example. They would obey Qin Feng's plan unconditionally.
"Mr. Qin, we'll listen to you!”
With Elder Chen taking the lead, the others followed suit.
Although Night Demon was terrifying, the strength that Qin Feng displayed was equally powerful. This gave everyone confidence.
"The Night Demons only come out at night.”
Qin Feng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he said,""There are still a few hours before dark. We have enough time to set up traps in the surroundings!”
"Mr. Qin, do you want to eliminate these Night Demons?”
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Otherwise, how can we make steel?"
Qin Feng did not answer directly, but this sentence already showed his determination.
The night demon is not eradicated for a day,
The steel mill would not be able to operate for a day!
