The three vehicles sped along the highway, and before long, the rough outline of the steel plant came into view in the distance.
But then...
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Boom! Boom!
Gunfire and explosions also rang out from the direction of the steel plant.
Just then, the van leading the way slammed on its brakes and pulled over by the roadside. Lu Zheng and Lin Wan stopped beside it as well. After rolling down their windows, they saw the people inside the van making phone calls.
"What's going on?" Lu Zheng asked.
"More than a hundred 'Blue Liberators' are attacking the plant!" an engineer said in panic.
"Why?" Li Ying asked.
"I don't know!"
"Now isn't the time to ask why. Can the steel plant hold out?" Lin Wan asked.
"There's a security team inside the plant, but..."
The young engineer looked deeply worried. "But there are only twelve of them, all locals, and they only have some AK rifles."
"We can't go back to the plant. It won't hold out, and going there would just be walking into a death trap. We should head out, find somewhere secluded, and hide first," another engineer said.
"We already called the higher-ups. They told us to hide first and stay in contact at all times," an engineer said. "Come with us!"
Zhao Xiaodao and Li Ying both turned their eyes toward Lu Zheng and Lin Wan.
"You take them and hide. I'll go," Lu Zheng said.
Lin Wan nodded. "Okay."
A young engineer stared at him in shock. "You want to sneak in?"
Lu Zheng raised a brow. "Sneak in? Have you watched Wolf Warrior 2?"
"That's a movie!"
"But sometimes reality is more fantastical than movies," Lu Zheng said with a smile. "Movies sometimes still have to follow logic, but reality doesn't."
