Chapter 332: The Invisible Rebel
"Posthumous Reemployment Centers" are large buildings that can be found on every corporate planet, and those who can be sent here are either corpses or dying people.
"Posthumous re-employment" is a contractual system within Universal Enterprises, and basically all low-level personnel are inevitably able to continue to fulfill this "obligation" after death.
Because, in theory, they will not be able to pay off the debts they owe while they are alive, and they will need to continue to work after death.
On this day, a pile of transported corpses entered the "Surplus Value Recovery Room" as usual, in order to extract the last bit of value from the corpses before they were turned into living corpses.
Although the years of exertion make the corpses have little recovery value, even the organs, there are occasionally some "more valuable" corpses that come here, and the main purpose of this recycling room is this kind of corpse.
Next to the operating table in the recovery room, employees who have long been accustomed to working here inspect the newly delivered corpses, and their eyes are locked on each corpse.
After working for a long time, he would cut off some of the corpses he "valued" before they were sent to the testing chamber, and with his experience, he could also make a lot of money from this errand.
This time was the same, he noticed that something was wrong with a certain "corpse" in an instant, and when he was about to go over to intercept the corpse, someone stopped him.
"It's almost enough, you made a lot of money two days ago, and it's not easy to do fake accounts, so you can't move any of them today."
Stopping him was a manager who parachuted in here, it seems to be a high-level person, although the company has always looked at people by economic strength, and the class is just an auxiliary, but this does not mean that he can resist this management now.
So he could only retract his hand unwillingly and walked back to his post in a gloomy manner.
The previous manager glanced at the wrong "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 place coldly, with a stinky face, and anyone who saw him would consciously walk around him.
And the "corpse" that was wrong trembled slightly when no one was paying attention.
He is a "miner", who came to investigate the "posthumous reemployment center", he disguised himself as a corpse, and with the help of the bionic skin on the surface of his body and the instruments in his body, he perfectly deceived various detectors, but he did not expect to be artificially seen abnormal, which reminded him of the story that circulated in the "Assimilation Fighter" - only the hand is familiar.
Relying entirely on machinery may not be as good as the physical body at times.
"It's just...... Didn't you expect the 'companions' to infiltrate this kind of place a long time ago? β
Recalling the scene just now, the "miner" still had some lingering palpitations.
Although his body had changed dramatically, and he had gradually understood his strength under the education of the "Assimilation Fighter", his mind was still stagnant at that moment, and he was even thinking about how to solve that person.
However, someone helped him solve this problem, and even if it wasn't for the other party taking the initiative to establish a connection with him, he didn't know that the original "Assimilation Fighter" had also infiltrated here.
After a brief exchange in the data network, the "miner" learned that the other party had just arrived here, and was also investigating here.
The "miners" didn't ask how they were now infiltrating the corporate empire, but he felt that there were probably quite a few high-level people who had joined the embrace of "assimilation".
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, he knows that the "assimilation fighters" are still mainly secretly active under the command of the "guardian", and there is no idea of large-scale action at present, and their fleet has always been hidden in the starry sky.
If war were to be waged in a real way, the corporate empire that had been infiltrated into a sieve could never be an opponent of the "assimilation fighters".
ββ¦β¦ Is this the strength of the 'companions'? They are already so terrifying, how powerful will their top boss, the apex of mechanical intelligence, be the guardian? He thought silently, and felt sincerely incredible for his "adventure".
From the mouths of his "companions", he learns that he was saved by the "guardians", that he was indeed dead in the physiological sense, but miraculously resurrected from the dead, which he never imagined.
It was a miracle for him, and his "companions" told him about their past, knowing that it was the same "guardians" who gave them a new lease of life.
For this mysterious mechanical intelligence, in addition to curiosity, his heart is more in awe.
After feeling for a while, the "miner" entered the "morgue" with the corpse that passed the examination, and quietly "visited" the "posthumous reemployment center" when there was no one around.
He found that the facility was roughly divided into four parts, one was the "reuse zone", which was responsible for the living corpses, and the remaining three seemed to correspond to several different whereabouts of the corpses.
One was the "Underground Work Area", which the Miners thought was the area assigned to the corpses of the "Underground Eggs"; The other two are "Other Workspaces" and "Dedicated Workspaces", and although the exact destination is unknown, they are not targeted by "miners".
So he went deep into the "underground work area" and began to search for information that might be related to the "underground egg".
In the process, he easily avoided the surveillance range, did not even use hacking methods, and did not encounter any patrols, as if the people in power here did not feel that they needed these things.
The "miner" can also understand that there has been no revolt within the corporate empire in his memory for a long, long time, and perhaps everyone here has been "domesticated" and become laborers who can never get rid of the enterprise.
Therefore, it is understandable that he does not pay attention to protection, which makes him now very easy to come to the office of the person in charge here.
As he expected, it was working time, but the person in power was not at his post, and it was clear that he had long since lost sight of where to go.
Leave of absence is the usual tactic of these elites, and the hours they need to work may be handled by just a few phone calls, making their work significantly easier than the never-ending work of the lowest stratum.
In the memory of the "miner", the most senior company manager he saw was a big foreman, and it was only on the day he was named a "model worker" that he saw it.
At this time, the person in charge of the "posthumous reemployment center" was already a department head, which was already a heavenly existence for him in the past, and he was undoubtedly a high-level person.
He thought he would find something in the department head's office, so after making sure he hadn't been found, he entered the place and rummaged through it.
And just as he thought, there is a document that records the habits and growth standards of the "underground eggs", and also gives the "evacuation time standards".
"Will that creature destroy the entire planet when it matures?" The "miners" were a little incredulous, and at the same time took it for granted.
After all, it is a life born in the core of the planet, and even if its birth does not damage the geological structure to a high degree, it will almost inevitably lead to an ecological imbalance, and the planet will probably be uninhabitable.
"In that case, how many such planets are there in the entire galaxy now? Since it's a biological weapon for others, I'm afraid there won't be a small number of them......"
His heart was a little heavy now, as he thought about the end of the people on these planets.
The company will certainly not spend a lot of effort to evacuate everyone, it may be too much loss for them, and the final outcome of most of the labor may be the end of the planet, and these people will not know their end.
ββ¦β¦ It has to be stopped! Once again, the miners strengthened their resolve and began to look at how often the "posthumous reemployment centers" sent corpses to work in the "pits" to determine how far the "eggs in the ground" had grown.
"Although this creature is bound to cause a lot of movement before it is about to be born, it will be too late at that time......"
However, looking at it, the "miner" found a "wanted document" issued a long time ago in the deepest part of the filing cabinet where the documents were stored.
"Wanted?" This unfamiliar term made him stunned, in the hundred years he lived, he had never heard of anyone who could be wanted by the company, and judging from the time of signing, this wanted document was at least two hundred years ago, and the director of the "posthumous reemployment center" at that time was not even the current one.
Puzzled, he checked the wanted contents.
γWantedγ
[Recently, the rebel organization "Sentinel", which has long disappeared, has shown signs of activity again, and has been creating terrorist activities in many branches.
The "Sentinel" group mentioned on the wanted notice was the first time the "miners" had heard of it, and there had never been anything like it circulating in his past memory.
ββ¦β¦ It's normal to think about it, if I could even hear about it back then, then the influence of this 'Sentinel' organization must be far greater than I imagined, but now it seems to be ......."
Now it seems that this "sentinel" organization is probably just an insignificant splash under the rule of the corporate empire, and it will not make any waves.
"But I didn't expect that someone really tried to resist, this galaxy may not be all silent people......"
There was a light in his eyes at this point, because he saw the dawn of rebellion, and the corporate empire was not completely in control of everyone as he had thought.
