Chapter 492: Guilt and Lies
Even if they have long been accustomed to the brutal earth god of the primitive 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm', the most developed civilization on Earth will switch back and forth between the two identities of polite billionaires.
But soon after leaving the tens of thousands of dwarf hellwarns who bowed to him, Zhang Lisheng met a group of tall, strong white lumberjacks wearing dirty denim overalls and carrying chainsaws, and Zhang Lisheng still showed a fleeting expression.
In the same way, the workers who were about to start work suddenly saw a huge spider sprang out of the jungle, and after shaking their minds, they exclaimed and cursed, "Hell, a big spider has come out, and those 'dwarves' haven't cleaned up the surroundings...";
"Don't panic John, you idiot, pull the saw on your shoulder and be careful to cut off your own head...";
"There are more than 50 of us, and there is only one worm raised by this bitch, and it is it that should be afraid of it, not us...", they all put the chainsaw across their chests, and pulled the steel wire hard to start the saw.
The roar of the chainsaw brought the young man back to his senses, and he noticed that the dozens of lumberjacks in front of him were all printed with the letters 'LS' on their canvas bibs, and simple abstract island patterns, and he suddenly understood the origin of these workers, and said loudly with a smile: "Hey, gentlemen, don't get excited, this is not a big wild insect, but my domesticated mount." ”
After Zhang Lisheng spoke, the lumberjack noticed that there was still a yellow-skinned, black-haired young man wearing fur sitting on the big spider. Shut down the roaring chainsaw in his hand, and asked tentatively: "You are, you are Mr. Zhang Lisheng, no, yes, it is Dr., Dr. Zhang Lisheng?"
"If it weren't for me, who would have suddenly appeared riding a purple spider from the primeval forest of the 'Otherworldly Realm', Aladdin in One Thousand and One Nights?" the young man asked humorously.
"Hello Doctor, we, we are your employees. Lumberjack of the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island Integrated Development Company'. I heard Zhang Lisheng admit his identity. The dozens of workers greeted with simple smiles.
'Shrimp B1 Island Comprehensive Development Company' is a company equivalent to 'fishing bait' founded by Charlie, his agent in the business world, when Zhang Lisheng planned to turn Wuli Island into the fifty-first state of the United States, and the main purpose is to let the people of the United States understand the value of the island, so the only project it operates is the energy extraction business on the island of the 'Otherworld'.
Later, for various reasons. The chances of Wuli Island becoming the 51st state of the United States have become slim. The company was forgotten by the youth. But I didn't expect that it was still operating at this time and became a sole business of the LS Group.
"Sea Shrimp B1 Island Comprehensive Development Company," Zhang Lisheng felt a move in his heart looking at the rugged faces in front of him that were obviously from a remote rural place. The smile on his face became more kind, "Oh, before I came to 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island', Charlie said that this branch is the fastest growing segment of the group's profits, I wonder how the benefits of Lu Dao are now?"
Hearing the young man's question, the workers said in a big voice: "Now the company makes a lot of money, and such a big tree can squeeze out five or six barrels of crude oil, which is easier than exploiting oil fields...";
"The company is going to build an oil refinery, and it is said that it will be built on the outskirts of New York, and the gasoline produced will be sold directly to those New Yorkers...";
"Not only to build an oil refinery, but also to build a harbor on the 'shrimp B1 island' and buy large oil tankers..."
The information provided by the logger made Zhang Lisheng very stunned, but he said quietly on the surface: "I am relieved that the company's business is so good, and more than 80% of the reason why a company can operate benignly is the efforts of employees."
As the Chairman of the Board of Directors of LS, I am very grateful to see that you are able to work in the 'otherworldly world' and create profits for the group with peace of mind at risk. ”
"Doctor, most of our workers are from Male Cat Town, Wyoming, and there is no work to do in that damn place except to serve as a soldier or dig coal, and chopping wood on this warm island is a paradise in comparison.
As for the danger, hehe, because of you, those natives never attack us, and they help drive away wild beasts, which is much smaller than going down the mines.
It's a good job, and it would be nice if I could get a higher salary. A bearded, meaty-faced worker said with a smile.
Except for the big cities, the daily life in the wilderness towns of the United States is actually very boring, and the work such as ore mining and steel smelting is much safer than the blood and tear mines of those underdeveloped countries on the earth, but it is still more dangerous.
In comparison, instead of staying in the countryside and digging coal mines, it is really better to get a high salary and work the island of the 'otherworldly'.
Zhang Lisheng has been living in the metropolis since he arrived in the United States, and he doesn't understand the boredom of the countryside, but when it comes to money, he is never stingy, "I have entrusted all the management of the company to Charlie, but I can make my own decisions about the salary increase, and your salary will increase by 10% next year as a reward for hard work." ”
"Long live the boss...", which was originally just a joke, but it really paid for a raise, and the lumberjacks looked at each other with their mouths open, their eyes wide open, and they high-fived each other in surprise.
After they finished cheering, Zhang Lisheng pretended to be concerned and asked: "Do you have any other needs besides salary increases, what is the living environment on the island, do you need to make some improvements, by the way, I forgot to ask you, where do you live on the 'shrimp B1 Island', is it the former 'human gathering place'?"
"It's the Doctor who lives there, and now the 'gathering place' is said to have shrunk a lot, but it's still quite empty, except for more than a hundred soldiers, we lumberjacks live, but recently a dozen Atlanteans have arrived. One of the workers replied.
"Atlanteans," Zhang Lisheng showed a surprised expression and muttered, "They are very afraid of the 'Otherworldly Realm', and they were unwilling to even send a few more exploration team members at the beginning, so how could they appear on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' inexplicably?"
The young man was obviously talking to himself, but because of the kindness he had just shown, the simple lumberjacks looked puzzled when they saw him frowning, and immediately scrambled to tell him what they had learned about the dozen or so Atlanteans on the island.
At the same time, at the site of the 'Human Settlement', which looms in the distance, several men and women with fiery red hair, snow-white skin, slender limbs, and youthful appearance are arguing fiercely in a large room.
"Ask for help, we should go for help, across less than ten 'laborious' oceans, there is the powerful force of our Atlanteans, even if we can't start the spaceship, the 'white disc' can always fight, a formed disc is enough to turn all the natives on the island into steam..."
"Shut up, Deoris, ask for help, what reason do we use to ask for help," seeing the appearance of his companion's mouth foaming, an extremely tall Atlantean man said loudly, "Do you tell Captain Ehensor that we were retaliated against and killed half of our companions because we took the initiative to attack those dwarfs in the 'Otherworld' and burned down their houses?"
If you hadn't gone mad and attacked the natives riding big birds, forcing us to go to war with the natives, nothing would have happened...
"One CD is enough to turn all the natives on the island into steam", hmph, didn't you say at the time that from the records of the earthlings, there is nothing to be afraid of the supernatural creatures that protect the natives, and we can bring the natives to their knees sooner or later, what will be the result..."
"Enough Morissa, it's too late to blame Deaulis, not to mention that although Deoris was the first native to attack, but for the sake of merit, your desire to attack later is even stronger than his, and we are all the same if we are held responsible..."
Hearing the words of his companion sitting on the room's milky soft leather couch say something like 'hold accountable,' the faces of all the Atlanteans turned to ashes.
As the second group of explorers from Atlanta, who learned about the situation of the 'Otherworldly Realm' on the spot and casually searched for the reason for the delay in the return of the first batch of explorers, the battleship staff officers had already formulated a set of plans for them, so that they could get in touch with the natives and initially gain the trust of the natives.
Now that they have self-righteously violated their plan and clashed fiercely with the natives on the 'Shrimp B1 Island', there are only two consequences: if they force the natives to give in and fully assist them in exploring the 'Shrimp 2 World Realm', and prove that their actions can accomplish the task more effectively than the staff officer's plan, it will be a great achievement without fault;
But if the mission cannot be carried out because of their self-assertions, it is a serious crime and it is difficult to obtain a pardon.
Thinking of the serious consequences, Morissa became even more embarrassed with anxiety, and roared again: "Aradus, my desire to attack the natives is strong and I am also making up for the mistakes of Deoris, and the nature is fundamentally different..."
"Morissian, now is not the time to complain to each other, the situation is bad enough, if we don't unite again, then we may really be 'expelled', let me think, let me think about what to do...
Maybe, maybe we can make up a reason, let's just say that the natives took the initiative to attack us, and we were forced to fight back, what do you think?" said the slightly slender elder of the two remaining Atlantean women in the room.
"That's a good idea, but it's a pity that the first explorers left a message when they left 'Shrimp B1 Island' that the natives on the island have great respect for the 'doctor' among the earthlings, don't forget that the message is a 'sergeant major', do you think our words are credible, or hers' words are credible?"
