Chapter 409: Good Guy Emily
When Emily gets on the bus to town, she is in despair.
She thought that her application had finally passed the review of the one-star rescuer after many years, and she was about to usher in a major turning point in her life, but the first task she received was to go to District 17 and join this life-saving errand.
Before leaving, the company gathered the investigators involved in the investigation for a meeting, in addition to mobilizing and cheering them on, the main content of the meeting was to tell them in detail that if they unfortunately died in the mission, the company would give their families generous treatment.
In addition to a sum of money that would allow them to spend the rest of their lives in peace, her parents were treated as employees of the company and were able to go to the company's prosthetic hospital twice a year for free comprehensive medical check-ups.
To commemorate their heroic performance, the company also took photos and short videos of them in virtual sets before their departure, and these well-made digital commemorative books will be sent to their homes as soon as possible.
Didn't you make it clear to them before you set off that the company never intended to let them come back alive!
Emily remembers the heavy feeling of walking out of the office that night, and she immediately called back home, confiding in how the company used them as cannon fodder.
However, before she could say to her father, "Either I'm still not a rescuer," her father's encouragement came from the other side of the phone, "You can go with peace of mind, we can take care of ourselves." ”
I don't know if it's a delusion, but she thinks that when her father heard that the company was going to provide them with a large sum of money, he suddenly changed his attitude and became a little ...... Joy and anticipation?
Although he did not express his feelings clearly on the phone, he coldly digressed the subject, asking in detail about the amount of compensation and how it was credited to their account.
Emily's heart was cold.
In a fit of frustration, she agreed to the company's request, anyway, you all just want money, you don't care about me at all!
It's better to die!
"Emily, Emily!"
The hurried voice of a company employee pulled her back to reality, she still remembered this decadent man, when he first arrived at the company, he was being reprimanded by his boss for his poor performance, and his colleagues never called him by name, but used "waste wood" to call him.
She witnessed a workplace bullying, and immediately afterward, the bullied company employee was called into the office - although his performance reviews were frequently submissive, the company full of humanity still found a way out for him.
Complete a life-threatening errand and use the last time of your life to exert your spare heat for the company.
She noticed that the eyes of the other three people in the car were focused on her, and everyone looked terrified.
"That...... We just saw a monster on the side of the road! ”
Finally, Scrapwood said tremblingly, "Humanoid, but with two pincers, I have never seen such a monster." ”
It was only a fleeting moment, but it was enough to leave a psychological shadow on those of them who had been in the office for a long time, and they conservatively estimated that the monster could cut their heads off like a watermelon.
I understand the reasoning, but why are you all looking at me?
Emily's stress doubled, and her dead heart suddenly became anxious again because of the rumors of the monster's infestation.
She suddenly didn't want to die.
In other words, even if she is going to die, she prefers to find a quiet place, lie in bed and take lethal drugs, and walk more easily.
But there is no compensation for that senseless death.
The thought that she might be slashed to pieces by monsters and the great despair and pain she had experienced in her life made her face look the same as the rest of the people in the car.
She also quickly understood why these people were looking at her.
She is a one-star rescuer, the nominal combat force of this investigation team.
But the reality is often cruel, and these investigators may not know that in addition to screening out potential combatants through a formal "three capabilities" review, there is another way for one-star rescuers to be good people and do good deeds.
In fact, she won the support of some local residents by participating in volunteer services and engaging in community warmth, and it took seven years of hard work to finally pass the review of the one-star rescuer, and the number of applications rejected was as high as 12 times!
So if a monster does attack them, she can't fight like a rescuer, and the only thing she can do is to act as a human bait to buy time for the other investigators to escape.
Just as Eremy was trying to convince herself in her mind that she was ready to make a sacrifice, another scream distracted everyone.
It was the driver who screamed, and this time, even Emily saw the monster described by the company clerk, and it wasn't one, it was a pack!
It was a creature that resembled a human being fused with a certain kind of insect, they had the outline of a human, but their faces were insects that had been magnified countless times, and when they heard the sound of vehicles moving, the eyes of those monsters were invariably focused on them.
At this moment, the driver behaved as stupidly as the drivers in those horror movies - in a panic, in order to avoid the monsters on the road, he hit the bottom in the direction, although he pressed the brakes to the bottom, and the car drove some distance before crashing into a tree.
With a loud sound of "Peng", everyone's eyes fell into a brief blank.
At the same time, a company employee far away in the core area slapped the table in a frustrated manner, and the holographic projection and electronic screen in front of him recorded the crash.
This is the company's new technology.
The investigators sent to the town are effectively humanoid probes to the company, and the company can receive everything they see through the function installed on their prosthetic eyes, and in addition to the fact that these humanoid probes are cheap and ready to use, they can still complete their tasks through the human brain even if they are interfered with by the signal or hacked.
But no one expected that this team of humanoid scouts would have a car accident without even seeing the shadow of the town, and their only contribution to the company was to detect a kind of void creature that fused with humans and insects.
However, the reason for the anger of the observer was not because of the company's loss, but because the accident caused him to lose 200 watts directly.
Just now, the observers opened a gambling game, and the content of the gambling game was very rich, and they set the survival time of each of the four people, down to zero days, up to one month, but almost all of them pressed these four people to live no more than three days.
They didn't know how the people in the car were feeling, but for them, it was a rare race to the death.
Not only does this technology allow the investigators to see what they see, but it also retains their desperation when encountering monsters, which is much more exciting than the tedious and tedious work.
"Seal the plate!"
The observation room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and compared to his annoyance, the people who had suppressed the zero sky gloated and shouted that the fate of these four people was already sealed.
Even if they don't die in a car accident, the monsters that hear the sound will tear them apart.
"Don't worry, it's not too late when they really die!"
The observer gritted his teeth, if he really had to lose 200 watts, it would be worth it to see the investigator being torn apart by the monster.
It's like spending 200 watts to enjoy a live-action death video.
