Chapter 308 - 259: Is There Anything Else You Want to Tell Me?

Chapter 308: Chapter 259: Is There Anything Else You Want to Tell Me?

"President Yin, let’s go over all the arrangements one last time today. We need to finalize our preparations and get ready for the apocalypse."

"Right. Let’s go. I’ve already had people get things ready."

After the two left, one of the men holding a coffee cup walked to the back and placed it on a counter.

Because Yu Dong had drunk his coffee so quickly, the ice cubes hadn’t melted into the black liquid. They now revealed their true form.

Hard and crystalline.

But everyone knows that no matter how hard ice is frozen, it will eventually melt if the weather is warm enough.

...

Yin Shuangyang and Yu Dong’s first stop was the offshore solar farm in the Zongshan District.

As far as the eye could see, the ocean’s surface was densely packed with blue, double-sided photovoltaic panels. Suspended on racks, they floated on the water, absorbing both direct sunlight and light reflected from the sea to convert into electricity.

"These solar panels are our post-apocalyptic energy base. A continuous stream of electricity will be generated here, transported to our power storage stations, and supplied to our industrial park, the shipyard, and the future port and railway. All of our assets in Yanhai City will run on the pulse of this electric heart."

"What about the wiring? The park and the shipyard are close, so you modified the existing lines directly. But what about the rest?"

"Director Sun’s engineers from the power grid mentioned using some kind of... T-splice modification method? I don’t get it either. Anyway, the substations, energy storage stations... all the things they wanted, I’ve procured them. Once the apocalypse hits, we’ll let them make the changes. We’ll have plenty of time then."

Currently, their main base—a massive 2,000-acre industrial park—was already directly connected to the offshore solar farm. It was also equipped with large-scale energy storage facilities, allowing it to maintain a stable power supply.

The wiring at the shipyard was also ready, though not yet fully connected. Once the apocalypse began, they would seize the shipyard, connect the lines to their own solar farm, and be able to maintain power for both locations.

"What about that group of electrical engineers? Can you ensure they’re all at the park today?"

Yin Shuangyang checked his watch. "They should be in a meeting right now. Later, we’ll just round up all eighty-something of them and haul them to the park..."

’...Not bad.’

Carrying out such a professional electrical grid overhaul after the apocalypse required both equipment and expert engineers. You couldn’t have one without the other. But there was no telling which engineers would turn into zombies and which wouldn’t, and convincing them would be difficult anyway.

Yin Shuangyang’s solution was to have Director Sun gather a group of the most skilled electrical engineers for a big meeting, telling them it was for a new project... and then abduct the whole lot in one fell swoop.

Yu Dong had used similar methods in his past life, but... Yin Shuangyang was far more brazen.

Kidnapping them in droves.

This was a true outlaw.

But this time around, they would have an electrical advantage he had never possessed in his previous lives.

With electricity, you could do so, so much.

...

「Shanship Heavy Industries Shipyard.」

Two massive 5,000-ton ships were docked at the port. Their decks had been modified with numerous spiked steel railings and firing ports. Any leaping zombies would just impale themselves on the barbs, getting their stomachs punctured, before being gunned down.

Yin Shuangyang said, "This shipyard is great... I just don’t know if we can keep enough technicians and sailors alive after the apocalypse to clear the sea routes for us. My men will take control of the shipyard beforehand, but it’s hard to say how many people will be left."

Yu Dong replied, "The people here don’t need to be abducted. The shipyard is huge. We just need to take control of it before the apocalypse, use a loudspeaker to tell everyone to scatter to different locations, and have them hide when the zombies break out. They just have to wait for our people to come and clean up. The survival rate will be very high."

"Hm, I suppose that’s the only way. I don’t have the manpower to kidnap this many people anyway... The arrangements here are more or less complete. With a few minor modifications after the apocalypse begins, this will become our gateway to the sea."

After checking everything over, Yu Dong gazed out toward the sea, squinted, and nodded. He stamped his foot hard on the ground a few times.

"Alright, let’s go to the next location."

After Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang left, heads began to pop up from the sea, like water ghosts.

The men from the Song Family were covered in blue-green paint and wore professional diving suits. If you weren’t looking closely, you’d never notice there were people in the water.

Song Jinchuan, still vigorous at 64, was leading the charge himself.

"Did Yu Dong see us just now?"

"It looks like Yu Dong is being controlled by someone..."

This group of ’water ghosts,’ who made their living from the sea, were lying in wait nearby, ready to seize the shipyard that they believed was theirs.

...

「Huangyang Port, D Port.」

「Huangtong Railway Office Area.」

Yin Shuangyang and Yu Dong walked inside and saw Director Tang, who had already been restrained. He was staring in terror at Yin Shuangyang and his men.

"President Yin, what... what is the meaning of this? If you need to ship cargo, you just have to say so. There’s no need for this."

"Heh heh... Director Tang, don’t be afraid. I just need you to help me coordinate the trains on the Daqin Railway before 8 PM. Just have them all stop..."

"President Yin, why do you want all the trains to stop? What’s the point?"

"As for the point... I’ll tell you later. You told me before that you could do it. So... no problem now, right?"

"N-No problem. I can have the dispatcher issue an emergency incident alert and force all trains to stop at the nearest station."

"Very good. At 7 PM this evening, have the trains on the Daqin Railway stop. Have them wait for one hour. Then, tell your employees to stay late. Have them stay in their offices, separately. I’ll be saving their lives..."

Hearing Yin Shuangyang say this, Yu Dong frowned, but... ultimately, he said nothing.
