death of hope

Chapter 228 "Corporate Warrior" (144) Red Party and Green Party
"Captain, the signal has been restored, the pilot is asking about our status."

"Tell him that Alpha Tactical Team will board the plane immediately."

"clear."

"Captain, there is a situation!" Wang Hongye exclaimed.

On the way to the lifting platform, I encountered an unresponsive and disgusting mutant,

The muscle fat without skin protection is exposed, the whole body is covered with pulsating blood vessels, spinning eyeballs, and a sharp, fang-covered mouth.

The identity of the original human can only be identified through the unmutated legs, tattered jeans and leather shoes.

"What the hell is this thing!"

"It's chewing something in its mouth, I'm afraid it's not human flesh!"

"I guess it's chewing gum, peppermint."

"Look what a joke...it's coming! Shoot!"

"Wait! It doesn't want to attack us, those eyes are watering, it's crying!"

"The poor thing! It's... begging us to kill him and end its misery."

"As it wishes." Lynch said.

After a round of concentrated fire, the monster fell into the sticky tissue solution. Lynch walked over and picked up an identification card from a pile of bloody and rotten meat:
"Dr. Mainzberg, deputy director of the branch."

"There's a letter in my jeans pocket."

"take away."

"Captain, this guy is still moving..."

"Burn it."

Five minutes later, the Alpha team successfully boarded the shuttle. The pilot was Lynch's old acquaintance when he was in the army, and he could be trusted.

Half a minute after the shuttle left, the worm program implanted by hackers began to operate.
The Orassis self-destructed, and the core of the nuclear power furnace melted down, shining brightly in the dark universe like a short-lived star.

"Huh...it's over..."

Shaft turned off the computer, took off his tight battle suit, and collapsed on the back of the chair.

"I'm so tired."

"It's too messy, and I'm still confused and can't understand anything."

"It's nice to be alive, and we've done our main job of not letting other companies take the data."

"Captain, what are you doing?"

"I'm reading, and I've learned a lot about the truth of the accident."

After all, Lynch folded up the letter left by the doctor, stuffed it into the envelope, and a family photo,

The photo was taken in a resort hotel on a certain planet. The gentle husband, the beautiful wife, and the lively twin teenagers are smiling and standing under the palm trees for a group photo.

It was something Lynch dreamed of, love, and family.

The person who wrote the letter once had all this, and now the ending is embarrassing.

Without saying a word, Lynch folded the envelope, sealed the smoke detector with tape, took out the lighter, lit it, and threw it on the ground, watching the edges of the paper curl and burnt, and the pungent smell from the burning photos.

"Boss, what was written in the letter?"

"Dr. Mainzberg is terminally ill. He is the breadwinner of his family, so he rushed to the doctor in a hurry. He wanted to gamble with the mutant's high self-healing power, so he colluded with the commercial spy Fatty Joe to cause the Olasses to die. massacre."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, Shaft spread his hands: "If I were in the same situation, I would inevitably do that kind of thing."

"In order to survive, I took risks and made my own choices. I was cured of the disease and turned into a monster. It's my own fault."

"It's over." Lynch crushed the ashes with his boots: "Everyone speaks with one voice and puts all the blame on Fat Joe."

"Good words." Wang Hongye nodded: "After all, dead people don't make excuses."

Lodayev endured the pain and whispered: "Is the pilot trustworthy? If we destroy the samples and data, will they find out and report it?"

"Don't worry, my own, old soldier." Lynch said, "No matter how many conspiracies there are behind this, there is only one thing, the mutants must not be allowed to pollute the human world. If something goes wrong, all the responsibility will be on me."

"Boss is courageous! Awesome!" Shaft clapped his hands; "The company's senior management is really a bunch of idiots to engage in these taboo experiments!"

Wang Hongye kicked him: "Idiot, keep your voice down!"

Along the way, Sigdrifa looked at Lynch with admiration, and now she is completely in love.

Back at the corporate warrior headquarters, Lynch handed in a mission report that was dozens of pages thick, and put all the responsibility on Fatty Joe, the commercial spy. He didn't mention Dr. Mainz's betrayal, so that he could As an accident victim, his family received a generous pension.

The CEO of McMillan Group did not have much hope for this matter. It was a great fortune that the technical information was not stolen, and he did not have much suspicion. He commended the achievements of the Alpha team and extended their paid vacation as an exception.

However, the impact of this incident was huge. The Olasses was destroyed together with research materials worth tens of billions. The company's top management was determined to retaliate against the opponent at the political level.

Today's commercial competition has formed a full coverage of politics, military affairs, and people's livelihood.

The political structure of the Federation of Terra has become increasingly clear, and the parliament hall has become a arena for two major parties, the Conservative Party and the Reform Party, known by the public as the Red Party and the Green Party.

The Green Party is a reformist, representing emerging capital forces, mostly Internet practitioners, stock traders, blockchain technology developers, decentralized virtual currency advocates, organizations or individuals wielding the big stick of environmentalism, financial capital upstarts , is the sworn enemy of the McMillan Group.

The Red Party is conservative, representing the old aristocracy of Terra, the traditional entity industrial giants, advocating consumerism, advocating unrestrained resource development, large-scale industrial production, adhering to the currency system based on precious metals, and opposing opportunism. Mike, who Lynch works for Milan Group is one of the main funders.

The red and green parties compete for the majority of seats in the parliament, and they are fighting with each other on the surface, and secretly plotting to assassinate.

The number of seats in the red and green parties is a reflection of the current strength of the new nouveau riche and the conservative old aristocracy.

Because of the Olasses commercial espionage incident, members of the Red Party fiercely criticized their opponents in parliament, and their media groups also vigorously exaggerated the incident, trying to let the public know the shamelessness of the Green Party, but their own image is not good.

In the eyes of the people under the corrupt rule of the Terra Federation, neither party is a good thing.

For Lynch and others, the political struggle is far away, and they just need to live their own lives.

The original two-week vacation has been extended to one month, and the members of the Alpha team urgently need some time to recuperate from their injuries and adjust their moods.

The couple Wang Hongye and Lodayev booked air tickets and went to Host Beach Hotel for vacation.
Mehmadi bought a lot of souvenirs and went back to his hometown to visit relatives. Shaft was no longer obsessed with going to nightclubs. Being teased by Fat Joe made him suffocate, so he stayed in the dormitory and devoted himself to studying hacking skills.

And Lynch and Sigdrifa finally decided to go on their first date.
