A chip representing the vital signs of a "miner" sent a death signal, indicating that a new "corpse" had appeared within the company.

The insiders who were napping next to the inspection machine immediately came to their senses and excitedly checked the miner's various information.

This is a good thing that can increase his performance, and every corpse sent to the "posthumous reemployment center" can make him pay a little more this month, and it is no wonder that he works so hard.

"I'll see...... Hey, I've been promoted to the U9 level, and if I work harder, I might be able to get the identity of a contract employee, but it's a pity that I died so early, and I still work overtime......"

The employee shook his head, just about to register the death record and add a new workforce to the "posthumous reemployment center", but saw that the chip that was supposed to be "dead" suddenly showed a signal of activity.

The employee was stunned and immediately rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

And this is indeed the case, when he looked at the detection instrument again, the string of "false alarms" disappeared without a trace, and everything just now seemed to be just an illusion.

“…… It seems that I have been working a little overtime lately, and I am hallucinating," the employee laughed at himself and continued to register his death.

It wasn't until all the information was sent back to the Posthumous Reemployment Center that the employee lay back in his chair and took a nap a short time.

During this time, he did work overtime until late at night every day, and the company would not give him overtime pay, because this is what he owes the company.

However, he is also at ease with this, because he "borrowed" a seven-day vacation from the company before working overtime, and in order to make up for the debt during this time, he now needs to work another 49 days of overtime for the company on the original basis.

Although the number was huge, he felt that it was much better than the lower class laborers, at least for now he could still nap here, and those laborers could only work all the time, even after death.

After the "death record" was sent back to the "posthumous reemployment center", the staff there also began to check the record.

In a huge pit, a certain "dead man's foreman" who was directing a pile of corpses received this string of news, and then cursed and said:

"Why did it take so long to die so much? The labor force is running out! When the time comes, the interests of the company will be deducted from us, why are those low-level people always so lazy, can you learn from us to work overtime? ”

Another "deceased foreman" who had been working for a little longer advised him to dissipate his anger and do the job at hand first:

"Okay, even if you don't have enough labor, you still have to do it? The manager refused to spend money on the machine, fearing that the company's books would not look good, which would affect his reputation at the headquarters, at least he did not let us go to the office in person, but used dead people as laborers, which was not bad. ”

“…… Well, this time I'm just indignant that those people at the bottom don't work hard, but let us be punished, they are so lazy. ”

After venting, the "Foreman of the Dead" looked at the huge bottomless crater, and there were more similar potholes around it.

"Speaking of which, you've been working here longer than me, haven't you? Do you know what these big holes are for? ”

When the old employee heard this, he quickly put on a look of a passerby, as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time.

"Don't spread the word casually, this is also what the previous employee told me, and it is a secret that we, the 'foremen of the dead', have passed down from generation to generation......"

"Don't sell it, just say it."

The old employee smiled mysteriously, but asked him not to worry, but to start with the name of the company.

"Do you know why we gave the company such a name?" 'Servant', this doesn't sound like the name of a company with a big business. ”

"It is said that a long, long time ago, our company was just a small business in this galaxy, although it was also named 'Huanyu', but it was only an insignificant member of hundreds of interstellar civilizations, and even to open a branch, you had to beg others with a shy face, and you had to give a lot of gifts to barely open it."

"But one day, an alien terrifying civilization came here, and the entire galaxy combined was no match for them, and our company was the first ...... to surrender."

When he heard this, the slightly younger "foreman of the dead" understood, and blurted out: "Isn't this speculation ......?"

But seeing that the older "deceased foreman" immediately had a serious expression, and he also understood something, he directly covered his mouth, and then slapped himself hard, and confessed with shame on his face: "I volunteered to work overtime for the company for a year to reflect on my disrespectful remarks this time, I was born as a person of the company, and my death was the corpse of the company......"

The expression of the older "foreman of the dead" softened slightly, and it was only after he had finished his "confession" that he admonished: "How old you are, don't pay attention to these things, don't splash blood on me." ”

Seeing that the young "foreman of the dead" nodded obediently, he continued the story just now:

"All in all, that civilization wiped out all the rebels, even the Lost Empire was defeated at their hands, only our company knew the times and was Junjie, who escaped because of his sincerity and succeeded in becoming the last survivor of this galaxy."

"Our company swears allegiance to this civilization, voluntarily serves them, and will do its best to meet all their needs, and these potholes are the tasks assigned to our company by that civilization."

"So what is in these pits is ......" At this time, the curiosity of the young "foreman of the dead" has been stretched to the limit.

And the older "foreman of the deceased" also smiled slightly, and said very dryly: "I don't know either." ”

"You ......"

Seeing that the other party was about to get angry, he quickly continued: "Don't worry. ”

"How could we motley staff know about such a confidential matter? I only have some news here, so let's listen to it as a story. ”

As he spoke, the older foreman approached the other man and whispered in his ear, "It is said that under these pits, there is the egg of a giant beast!" Our job is to feed it! ”

This incredible answer caused the young foreman's eyes to widen and look at his colleague in disbelief.

And the old foreman shrugged: "It's incredible, isn't it?" Because I also don't believe that the earth we are stepping on is actually the shell of a giant beast, which is impossible to think about? ”

After saying that, he patted the young foreman on the shoulder and said with emotion: "So don't think about these things that you don't have, hurry up and work, those dead people don't have much work efficiency if they don't smoke a few times." ”

The young foreman also came back from his trance and followed the other party away.

It's just that at this time, he turned back step by step, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at the pit, because he always felt that what the other party said was not a guess to catch the wind and shadows.

……

And after they left this pothole area, a "corpse" who was working hard to carry a bag of organic materials suddenly stopped what he was doing, and when he raised his head, the face was the same miner who died suddenly near Li Wenyuan's "advance fleet" before!

He had just listened to the conversation between the two foremen of the deceased, and perhaps these people would never have thought that there were "living people" mixed among the corpses.

A stream of data flashed in his eyes, and he reconnected with his "companions".

[Hello, our fellow prosthetics, I'm glad you're safe. Can I help you? 】

"I got some information here, I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's enough for reference."

As he spoke, the story told by the old "foreman of the dead" just now was passed out in the flicker of the signal.

And the other party also replied after a while:

[It doesn't matter, whether it's true or not, it's information, and information always brings news]

[Your mission is complete, so do you want to come back?] We will send a boat to pick you up. Don't worry, no one will condemn you, you are not a deserter on the battlefield, but a hero who has returned from infiltration]

This sentence silenced the resurrected "miner" for a long time, and only then did he make up his mind:

“…… Just let me keep doing it, it's my first attempt at resisting, I want to ...... Do it a little better. ”

There seemed to be laughter from the other side of the connection, but not mockery, but happy laughter.

[You are wonderful, our fellow prosthetics, it seems that you have successfully understood our path, and this is something to celebrate]

[Then let it go, don't be afraid, don't worry, because we are with you all the time]

[This is who we are, everyone is a great fighter]

After the "......" cut off the communication, the miners were still in a trance, as if all this was a dream.

Since "Coming Back from the Dead", he has become a member of a group called the "Assimilation Fighters".

At first he panicked, but with the education of these gentle prosthetic people, he eventually became a powerful prosthetic warrior.

This "infiltration" operation was also volunteered to participate in, before which he had never realized that he was suffering "injustice", and after that, he hoped that this galaxy would no longer be like this.

The dream is small, but after he has the strength, he also wants to try to achieve it, he was not great, but under the influence of a group of like-minded "companions", he felt that he should do something.

His gaze became firm again, and his figure faded into the hole.

And Li Wenyuan also received a report from the "Assimilation Fighter" not long after.

He sent the Assimilation Fighter to the galaxy two million light-years away, where he would explore the space.

His own focus was on exploring the site of the Pillars of Creation and gathering materials for a large Veil.

The news brought by the "Assimilation Fighter" surprised him a little, he originally thought that this trip would only have information about human ruins, but he did not expect to find unexpected clues.

"Once a terrible civilization was there? But it doesn't seem to be human, could it be a 'recorder'? ”

He was contemplating the possibility of this, but at this time, the Queen of "Presorin" seemed to feel something, and wandered around her "hatchery" galaxy with some unease.

Because she seemed to feel the breath of the pursuer that had once only been passed down by word of mouth in their memories.
