Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Acquiring at a Low Price

Pre-packaged meals could be somewhat considered as ready-to-eat or canned food products.

Not only are they cheap, but they also come in a wide variety of flavors, which makes them extremely popular in the market.

In comparison, other processed foods seem somewhat lackluster.

Take the best-selling canned luncheon meat, for example; not only is its product range limited, but many food processing plants are also producing it, leading to an oversaturation in the market.

Moreover, to some extent, canned luncheon meat competes with products like sausages, further shrinking its market space.

Now that pre-packaged meal kits have entered the market, their impact is even greater, directly causing sales of products like canned luncheon meat to halve.

On the surface, these people have banded together against Third Pharmaceutical Factory, but their main target is likely Chen Yu’s food industrial park.

A dangerous curve formed at the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth. He had initially planned to negotiate with these people to transfer their factories, but now, it seemed that if he didn’t play his cards right, it would be an injustice to their cunning.

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly sounded not far from there, with thick smoke billowing towards the heavens, quickly plunging the area into darkness.

Chen Yu’s eyes widened. The factory that exploded seemed to be a fuel plant that, aside from the new type of fuel, also stored a large amount of traditional fuel.

If all the fuel were to catch fire, the entire industrial park might well plunge into disaster.

Most crucially, there was a large battery factory near the fuel plant.

If that factory were to explode as well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Yu almost instinctively pushed all other plans in his mind aside and hastily instructed Hou Jianchang to call out all the fire brigade personnel in the industrial park.

A somewhat stout man lay half-prostrate in front of the fuel factory, as if burnt out.

This was his life’s savings, and he had not expected such a disaster to occur.

This man had previously been among those threatening Chen Yu, and his remarks had been particularly offensive.

Chen Yu merely glanced at him before leading his team directly into the inferno.

In the current situation, there was no time to consider the consequences of the explosion; the top priority was to rescue the workers trapped inside the factory.

But the place was extremely dangerous, and no one could guarantee when the next explosion might occur.

[On the right, Building Three, floor four, there are seventeen trapped individuals.]

[To the left, Factory Area One, there are forty-eight trapped individuals.]

…

A large amount of information continued to flash in Chen Yu’s mind. Relying on the information provided by the system, he tirelessly rescued the trapped individuals from inside.

Before long, professional firefighters also arrived at the scene, immediately throwing the most advanced fire extinguishers into the fire.

Before they arrived, Chen Yu’s firefighting personnel had already brought the fire under control, and as soon as the professionals arrived, they took appropriate measures and soon extinguished the blaze.

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained twelve points.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained seventeen points.]

…

Chen Yu had already lost much interest in these continuously accumulating points.

Ever since the system was upgraded, it had become merely an auxiliary device that would only appear when absolutely necessary, and the way to accumulate points was incredibly difficult.
