Chapter 332 The Invisible Rebel
"Re-Employment Center after Death" is a large-scale construction facility on every corporate planet. Those who can be sent here are either corpses or dying people.
The "employment after death" is a contract system in Huanyu Enterprises, and basically all low-level personnel will inevitably continue to perform this "obligation" after death.
Because they theoretically cannot repay their debts while they are alive, and they need to continue to work after death.
On this day, a bunch of transported corpses entered the "residual value recovery room" here as usual, in order to extract the last bit of value from the corpses before they were revived.
Although the perennial fatigue makes the corpses almost worthless even for their organs, occasionally some "more valuable" corpses come here. The main recycling target of this recovery room is such corpses.
Beside the operating table in the recovery room, the employees who have long been accustomed to working here inspected the newly delivered corpses, their old eyes locked on each corpse.
After working for a long time, he will cut off some of his "valued" corpses before they are sent to the testing room. With his experience, he can also earn a lot of money from this job.
This time was the same, he realized something was wrong with a certain "corpse" in an instant, and when he was about to go to cut that corpse down, someone stopped him.
"It's almost enough. You made a lot of money in the past two days. It's not easy to make false accounts. Today, none of this batch can be moved."
What stopped him was a manager who came here by air. He seemed to be a high-level person. Although the company has always judged people based on economic strength, and the level was just a support, this does not mean that he can resist this person now. manage.
So he could only withdraw his hand unwillingly, and walked back to his post in a desperate manner.
The previous manager glanced at the strange "corpse", and there seemed to be a stream of data flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but continued to stay in the same place indifferently, with a stinky face, who Seeing his appearance, he will consciously walk around him.
The strange "corpse" trembled slightly when no one was paying attention.
He is a "miner" who came to investigate the "re-employment center after death". He disguised himself as a corpse. With the help of the bionic skin on the surface of the body and the instruments in the body, he perfectly fooled various detectors. But he didn't expect to be seen by everyone artificially, which reminded him of the story circulated in "Assimilation Fighter" - only one hand is familiar.
It relies entirely on machinery, and sometimes it may not be as good as the flesh.
"It's just... I didn't expect the 'companions' to infiltrate this kind of place long ago?"
Recalling the scene just now, "Miner" still has lingering fears.
Although his body has undergone tremendous changes, and under the education of the "Assimilation Fighter", he has gradually understood his own strength, but at that moment, his thinking still stagnated for a while, and he was even thinking about how to get rid of that person .
However, someone helped him solve this problem. Even if the other party hadn't actively established a connection with him, he would not have known that the "Assimilation Fighter" had also infiltrated here.
Under the brief communication in the data network, the "miner" learned that the other party had just arrived here not long ago, and was also investigating here.
"Miner" didn't ask how their infiltration into this corporate empire is now, but he feels that many high-level executives have already joined the embrace of "assimilation".
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. He knows that the "Assimilation Fighters" are still mainly engaged in secret activities under the orders of the "Guardians". Currently, they have no idea of large-scale operations. Their fleet has always been hidden in the starry sky.
If there is a real war, the corporate empire that has been infiltrated into a sieve can never be the opponent of the "Assimilation Fighter".
"...Is this the strength of the 'companions'? They are already so terrifying, how powerful will their immediate boss, the apex of machine intelligence—the guardian be?" He thought silently, and worried for himself This "adventure" felt really incredible.
From the mouths of the "companions", he learned that he was saved by the "Guardian". He was indeed dead in the physiological sense, but he miraculously came back from the dead, which he never imagined.
This is nothing short of a miracle to him, and his "companions" have also told him their past history, knowing that it is also the "guardian" who gave them a new life.
For this mysterious mechanical intelligence, in addition to curiosity, he is more in awe.
After feeling in his heart for a while, the "miner" entered the "mortuary" with the corpse that passed the test, and quietly "visited" the "re-employment center" when there was no one around.
One is the "underground work area", which the "miners" think should refer to the area where the corpses sent to take care of the "underground eggs" are allocated; the other two are "other work areas" and "special work areas". ", although the specific destination is not known, but they are not the target of the "miners".
So he went deep into the "underground work area" and began to search for information that might be related to the "underground egg".
During this process, he avoided the monitoring range very easily. He didn't even use hacking methods, and he didn't encounter any patrols and guards. It seems that the people in power here don't think these things are needed.
"Miner" can also understand that in his memory, there has been no resistance in the corporate empire for a long, long time. Maybe everyone here has been "domesticated" and become laborers who can never get rid of the enterprise.
Therefore, it is understandable not to pay attention to protection, which makes it very easy for him to come to the office of the person in power here.
As he expected, it's working time now, but the person in power is not at his post, obviously he doesn't know where to go for a stroll.
Asking for leave is a common method used by these high-level people. The working time they need can be settled with just a few phone calls. Compared with the non-stop labor of the bottom-level staff, their work is obviously much easier.
In the memory of the "miner", the most senior company executive he has ever seen is a big foreman, and he only saw it on the day he was named a "model worker".
At this time, the person in charge of the "Reemployment Center after Death" is already a department head. To him in the past, he is already a heavenly existence, and he is undoubtedly a high-level person.
He felt that something must be found in the office of the department head, so after confirming that no trace was found, he entered this place and rummaged through it.
And just as he thought, one of the documents recorded the habits and growth standards of the "Underground Egg", and also gave the "Evacuation Time Standard".
"Will that kind of creature destroy the entire planet when it matures?" "Miner" was a little unbelievable, but at the same time took it for granted.
After all, it is life born in the core of the planet. Even if its birth does not cause much damage to the geological structure, it will almost certainly lead to an ecological imbalance, and the planet will probably be uninhabitable by then.
"If that's the case, how many planets of this kind are there in the entire galaxy? Since they are biological weapons for others, the number may not be small..."
His heart is a little heavy now, because he thinks about the ending of people on these planets.
The company will definitely not spend a lot of effort to evacuate everyone, and the loss may be too great for them. The final outcome of the vast majority of workers may end with the destruction of the planet, and these people will not know their end of.
"...It must be stopped!" The "miner" once again strengthened his determination, and began to check the frequency of "post-mortem employment centers" sending corpses to work in "potholes" to judge that the "underground eggs" had grown to what extent.
"Although this creature will definitely cause a huge commotion before it is about to be born, it will be too late..."
However, looking at it, the "miner" found a "wanted document" issued a long time ago in the deepest part of the filing cabinet where these documents were stored.
"Wanted?" This unfamiliar term made him stunned. In the hundred years of his life, he had never heard of anyone who could be issued a wanted warrant by a company, and judging from the signing time, this wanted The file is from at least two hundred years ago, before the director of the Posthumous Employment Center was even the current one.
Suspicious, he checked the wanted content.
【Wanted】
【Recently, the long-disappeared rebel organization "Sentry" has shown signs of activity again, and has created terrorist activities in many branches. After discussion and study by the board of directors, this document is distributed layer by layer. All departments are requested to pay attention to the stability of the governance】
The "Sentry" organization mentioned on the wanted notice was the first time "miner" had heard of it. In his past memory, there had never been similar news circulating.
"...It's normal to think about it. If I could hear about it at that time, then the influence of this 'Sentry' organization must be far beyond my imagination, but now it seems..."
Now it seems that this "Sentinel" organization is probably just an insignificant splash under the rule of the corporate empire, and it can't make any waves.
"But I didn't expect that someone would actually try to resist. Maybe there are not all silent people in this galaxy..."
At this moment, his eyes lighted up, because he saw the dawn of rebellion, and the corporate empire did not completely control everyone as he once thought.
