Somewhere in a no-man's land on the front lines of fighting in the Canal Zone.
Boom boom boom! Da da da!
boom!
In the mountain forest, near a concrete building, the sound of gunfire and the explosion of mortar shells could be clearly heard.
"Which damn barbarian doesn't have eyes?" Hu Xuewen walked out of the old factory with a low-quality cigarette in his mouth, cursing, "What the hell is the sentry tower doing? Hurry up and position me. If you don't give these people a few cannonballs, they are... It won’t last long.”
"Director Hu, the other party is hidden in the woods and is difficult to find... Please wait patiently for a few minutes."
Hu Xuewen took another puff of cigarette and urged: "Hurry up, after we kill these flies, you can come online and help."
After speaking, he took a look at the peeling paint of the pharmaceutical factory, revealing the gray concrete surface of the exterior wall of the pharmaceutical factory and the busy workers inside.
Now that the plague is getting more serious, the factory's production capacity can't keep up.
If you want to expand production capacity, there will always be soldiers from the Immortal Sect around to harass you. Maybe you want to move the factory. There are so many equipments and heavy assets, and it is not easy to move them.
Fighting is no longer an unfamiliar word to everyone in the pharmaceutical factory.
How is it possible to open a factory on the front line without being discovered, shot at, or bombed?
Paying the protection fee would at best make Sanhai Bank's army turn a blind eye to the factory. Expecting them to garrison for protection was basically a fantasy.
Everything still depends on Hu Xuewen and the workers in the factory.
In order to have a better pharmaceutical environment, Hu Xuewen also specially reinforced two floors of his factory with reinforced concrete.
In a harsh environment like a mountain forest, as long as heavy artillery is not used, it is difficult for small-caliber mortars and machine guns to cause much damage to such concrete buildings.
This area has not yet been lost, and the Life Unsullied Sect cannot mobilize large-caliber artillery.
But such small-scale harassment still bothered Hu Xuewen endlessly.
When will the war end? It's so annoying...
Hu Xuewen muttered, turned around, his breathing rhythm was not up, and the choking smell of low-quality tobacco suddenly rose up in his throat: "Cough cough cough! Cough cough!!"
What kind of broken smoke is this!
One worker couldn't stand it anymore and advised: "Director, please stop smoking..."
"Shut up, you are still taking care of me? You are the director of the factory and I am the director? I have no entertainment activities, and now I can't even smoke?" Hu Xuewen stamped out the cigarette butt and roared, " I think I smoked high-end imported cigars back then, so I wasn’t fooled by that woman Huo Yunyou.”
Five copper coins for a bottle of medicine, how dare she say that!
Hu Xuewen sighed at his miserable life, took out a low-quality cigarette from the rusty cigarette case, lit it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just after taking a sip, there was a sudden explosion in the distance that was far beyond the sound of a mortar.
boom! boom! boom!
"Ahem, cough, cough! What's going on?!" Hu Xuewen felt the ground shaking like never before, and his heart sank, "Could it be those barbarians who launched a general attack?"
That's not right. If the Life Unsullied Sect launched a general attack, why didn't you feel a cannonball fall on your head?
"You guys keep working. If the situation changes, go hide in the basement and I'll go take a look outside."
"Director..."
"Stop talking nonsense, work, don't you want next month's salary?" After Hu Xuewen cursed, he climbed over the low wall inside the factory, climbed up to the guard post, and looked into the distance.
He found nothing except the rising plumes of smoke that indicated that the shelling just now was not an illusion.
Hu Xuewen blew out a puff of smoke and said to himself in confusion: "Is it haunted?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing above his head, and a large shadow instantly enveloped his head.
Hu Xuewen looked up subconsciously.
Then, the cigarette fell from his mouth and almost burned a big hole in his slippers.
"Hold……"
As someone who once dreamed of making money to buy a boat ticket to live in the empire, he could certainly recognize what the giant thing floating in the sky was.
That is a spaceship that can sail between the stars!
The only person who can own such a spaceship on a poor planet like Tianhaixing is the governor, the terrifying governor who is said to be extremely cruel and murderous!
Looking at several shuttle planes flying towards the factory, Hu Xuewen knew that his pharmaceutical life might really come to an end.
Didn't they just sell some fake medicine? As for using such a large array to arrest people?
Of course, Hu Xuewen just complained - he naturally knew how much of the pie his vested interests had gained from his counterfeit medicine business.
It’s not surprising that he was caught.
At this time, many workers poked their heads out curiously: "Director, this is..."
Hu Xuewen took out the pistol from his waist and threw it to the ground. He ordered in the most serious tone: "Everyone, put down your weapons, raise your hands high, and stand in the square! Don't make any resistance, this is an order!"
The workers who had long been attached to the pharmaceutical factory were stunned: "Director, we can..."
How rare is it in this land to have a stable job with a good salary and get free medicine when you are sick?
This is why they dare to pick up guns and fight the cultists.
"Don't make any unnecessary resistance. If you die, how will I face your parents and children?!" Hu Xuewen knew very well how terrifying that thing in the sky was and warned sternly, "Think about your family and do as I say. Do!"
"You are not the mastermind. You will be out in a few years at most. Don't be impulsive!"
The workers' faces suddenly showed unwillingness and sadness, but they could only follow Hu Xuewen and queue up to the square.
Next, they are waiting for the superior man to judge their fate...
Suddenly, a familiar and slightly joking voice came: "Hey, Lao Hu, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so miserable?"
Hu Xuewen's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this familiar voice, and he looked up.
Huo Yunyou was seen wearing clean clothes and looking good. It was obvious that she had no worries about eating and drinking during this period.
"Huo Yunyou, are you rich?" Hu Xuewen raised his hands in the air, his tone a little complicated.
Could it be that this good friend who shared the same destiny and suffered the same fate could not withstand the temptation of profit in the end and betrayed himself to the governor?
What did the governor promise, untold wealth? Or a ticket to the Empire?
Other workers in the factory also looked over with complicated eyes.
"What's your tone?" Why couldn't Huo Yunyou hear the bitterness in Hu Xuewen's voice? She immediately said angrily, "Am I, Huo Yunyou, the kind of person who betrays my friends?!"
"I worked so hard and risked my life to convince the Governor to sign a genuine approval document and a tax-free license for this shabby factory of yours. You actually doubt me? Do you have a good conscience?!"
Genuine...approval? !
And tax-free? !
Does this mean that in the future, one’s own pharmaceutical factory business can be conducted openly and openly, and there is no need to raise prices? !
In the future, the medicines produced by oneself will be real medicines instead of fake medicines?
Hu Xuewen couldn't adapt to the rapid transition from hell to heaven. He still raised his hands high: "Then why didn't you let me put my hands down after I raised them for so long?"
"I just want to see you embarrassed." Huo Yunyou sneered, "Stop it and come with me quickly. The Governor wants to tell you something."
