The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 2 This broken computer is leaking electricity
  Summer July 2022
  It is the hottest month of the year in Laiyang, Ludong.

At this time, the sun is like a hot oven, scorching all creatures that dare to face it, and the trees on both sides of the road also look "listless"

Only the cicadas on the trees kept "chirping knowingly" which made people feel a little bit hotter.

At this time, on the east side of Weigezhuang Street, in the office of "Wei's Machinery".

A floor-standing fan with leaking primer showed that it must be no less than 10 years old. The fan blades were squeaking and spinning hard, making people very worried that the fan would fall apart.

On an old desk in front of the floor fan, there are budget sheets stacked up and down. A laptop that looks silly, big, black, and has a sense of age, with a Slam Dunk sticker on the screen casing.

Under the screen, a young man in his early twenties with dark skin was holding a calculator and calculating something nervously, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead, revealing that he was not at peace inside.

Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu...

Wei Yuan said on the phone: "Your price is too high, the price is really unbeatable...

Do you want to find Lao Wang in the city?
  Even though Lao Wang’s is cheap, the quality is too poor, Mr. Liu, you know that!
  I am a master craftsman, and the materials are all first-class rolled steel. Your price is not enough.

We have been friends for many years, please help!

Toot toot…"

Before Wei Yuan could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone, leaving only a busy tone. Wei Yuan slumped down on the chair behind him and felt a sense of powerlessness.

Wei Yuan was originally fair and fair, and at 1.78 meters tall, he was considered a handsome boy. When he was in college, he so coquettishly gave himself the online name "Master Wei"

It's just that after taking over the factory, the few remaining people went through wind and rain every day for the sake of the factory. After one summer, they became what they are now.

Isn’t this right? Originally, through his father’s relationship, Weiyuan heard that the auto parts factory in the city wanted to order a batch of bearings.

In the end, it was difficult to sign this line, because the cost issue was not agreed upon, and if the quality of the product was reduced, it could be done reluctantly.
  But under the influence of his father, Wei Yuan also had his own persistence. After all, these parts were for cars, and if something went wrong, it would be a matter of life and death.

Wei Yuan, who was exhausted physically and mentally, and had been busy collecting orders and making budgets for the past few days, had not had a full sleep for several days in a row. At this moment, he felt sleepy.

Wei Yuan was too lazy to go to the dormitory behind the office, so he simply put his feet on the desk in front of him, lay back and fell asleep.

Perhaps because of the great pressure, Wei Yuan murmured a few words in his sleep and his body shook unconsciously. He kicked over the water glass on the table. The water in the glass flowed along the table and into the heat dissipation hole of the stupid big black laptop. Then there was a sizzling sound of electricity.

what?
  At this moment, Wei Yuan, who was sleepy-eyed, was also awakened by the sound of electric current. He only saw the computer being wrapped in red and purple electric current, gradually forming a purple ball of light. The ball of light was getting bigger and closer to him.

When Wei Yuan reacted and pulled out the computer's power plug, he heard a "bang" sound...
  Wei Yuan disappeared from the spot together with the stupid, black computer, leaving only a darkness that looked like it had been burned by flames on the table.

The moment he disappeared, Wei Yuan had one thought in his mind: He had known for a long time that such a cheap computer was not a good product! I didn’t expect this damn computer to have a power leak...

A gust of cold night wind blew through Wei Yuan, making him visibly shiver. Under the half-moon above his head, he found himself in a small forest full of wild grass and wild trees. Wei Yuan only remembered that he was sleeping in the office a moment ago. It seemed that his computer exploded, and he ended up in this strange place.

What is certain is that there will never be a place like this within a five-kilometer radius of our factory, because the town where Weiyuan is located can be regarded as a gathering place for the industrialized industrial belt. From steelmaking to parts manufacturing and final assembly, various small industrial enterprises The factory has everything you need.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is really not possible to let these small factories jointly build a Type 99 main battle tank, but if you ask them to save a T34 from World War II, it is simply easy to get it.

As long as the money is in place and there is a picture and it is not illegal, these small factory owners can give you a heartfelt guarantee: the vehicle will be off the assembly line within three days, and free shipping will be delivered to your home.

This has led to a shortage of local land. Wherever houses can be built, shops or factories have been built. It is impossible to have such a large piece of wasteland.

According to visual inspection, this piece of wasteland is more than 1000 square meters in size. It is full of weeds and unknown wild trees. These wild branches are intertwined and it seems that they have not been taken care of for a long time.

There was a small patch of earth right next to the edge of the woods. At first glance, it was covered with grass more than a foot high. Wei Yuan suddenly had a bad idea. This was probably a mass grave.

This made him wonder if he was dreaming, so he pinched his inner thigh hard without hesitation.

Tear... The severe pain in the inner thigh clearly told him that this was not a dream, and everything in front of him was real.

Yes, it's so magical. Wei Yuan came here inexplicably. It would be ridiculous if the explosion shock wave brought him here.

How powerful an explosion would that be? Not to mention that Wei Yuan is still standing here, it would have exploded to the point where not even the dregs would be left.

Another gust of night wind made Wei Yuan's head wake up quickly. Judging from the body temperature, the local temperature was around 10 degrees.

This made Wei Yuan, who was only wearing summer thin pants and shirt, goosebumps uncontrollably.

What's even worse is that in the explosion just now, the clothes he was wearing became tattered and now looked no better than the mop strips used to mop the floor.

Could it be that someone was playing a prank and dragged him to this place while he was sleeping?
  Then Wei Yuan himself denied this idea. He himself was a relatively light sleeper, so there was no reason why he wouldn't wake up from such a long distance.
  In addition, no one would be so bored that he would go to such trouble to get himself out into the wilderness to play a prank. At least Wei Yuan wanted to break his own mind, and he didn't expect that there was such a person in his circle of friends.

The most suspicious thing is that July in China is one of the hottest months of the year. The highest temperature during the day is over 7 degrees, and even at night it is around 40 degrees.

Even in remote rural areas, the nighttime temperature will not drop below 25 degrees.

The sudden situation gave Wei Yuan a complicated state of mind, including worry, panic, and an inexplicable sense of excitement.

This guy even had the urge to post on Moments first. He gave up this strange idea and with all kinds of complicated emotions, Wei Yuan decided to get out of the woods first.

Under the moonlight, Weiyuan discovered that the vegetation behind the mass graves was relatively sparse, as if there were traces of people walking around frequently.

Regardless of his fear, Wei Yuan moved towards the graveyard with one foot deep and one shallow.
