Meanwhile, the company personnel on the Argonne-Apache were also on the verge of collapse at night.
All company equipment on the entire planet was shut down, and all machinery turned into a pile of unusable scrap metal. The emergency repairs of many employees were completely useless. Red exclamation marks and red "error" appeared on all the electronic screens, filling their vision.
Then, there was a very harsh noise of snowflakes, echoing in their ears.
"This, how could this happen? This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. How could that monster be here?!"
One employee held his head in despair. Even if they tried their best to stop it, they could not change the situation.
The invasion of the virus was impossible to resist, and the indestructible firewalls of the companies on the planet were silent as a stone sinking into the sea.
The company's technology is the best in the universe. Even if the top hackers in the universe attack together, there should be enough time to fight back. But the scene before him completely overturned his cognition.
The only person who could cause such a scene where all mechanical and electronic equipment failed was the wanted criminal in the universe.
The ultimate hub of the intelligent machine [Viral Consciousness].
The target of the highest crisis level on Screw Star, an extremely dangerous wanted criminal with a reward of over 10 billion credit points offered by the company, once paralyzed the company's star zone system, causing huge economic losses to the company. The person in charge of that area was directly deprived of his identity in the company.
And this was not even a deliberate result caused by Zhongshu. It was simply the result of the company trying to invade Zhongshu's system and being counter-invaded by Zhongshu's virus. Many company experts assessed that if Zhongshu really deliberately invaded the company's system, then even the company's overall system would be difficult to defend.
In front of this extremely dangerous guy, all the high-tech things related to machinery, networks, etc. may not be as useful as a pair of fists.
No, so why would he appear here?!
Don’t tell me he came here to cause trouble because he heard that the company was stationed here. How unlucky he is!
咔
All lights inside the building were turned off, and the view was instantly pitch black.
"There's not even any light left? Can anyone come up with a solution?!"
"I have a high-powered flashlight. Do you want to use it?"
"Oh, thank you, that's very thoughtful of you."
The employee took the flashlight handed to him by a kind person in the pitch-black environment and turned it on.
The good news is that this flashlight is indeed powerful and lights up the entire room.
Bad news, the person who gave it seems to be a little wrong.
What he saw before him was not his damn colleague who was desperately trying to squeeze him, but a 'person' with a 'kind' smile.
He was not tall, and his entire body was made of camouflaged liquid metal. The red detection device disguised as eye pupils was constantly shrinking and expanding to a degree that was invisible to the naked eye, and it was less than two fists away from him.
The black mechanical parts were clearly visible at the joints, like those of an old-fashioned robot from long ago. The blade-like toes left dents on the floor. There were two metal flower buds on both sides of the head, and the hair that fell to the waist emitted a metallic luster.
Under the light, he could clearly see his huge mouth of steel teeth extending to his ears, and the throat inside his mouth was like a rotating electric saw, making a terrifying sound.
The ferocious and sharp metal claws waved in front of him in a friendly manner.
"You're welcome."
Like the sound of snow when a TV crashes, mixed with a strange neutral sound, the employee's face turned from rosy at the beginning to ashen blue, then pale, and finally his eyes rolled back, foamed at the mouth, and fell straight to the floor.
"Ahhhh!"
The people around panicked and took out their weapons, wanting to attack Zhongshu.
But in front of Zhongshu, all this is useless.
The weapons in their hands deformed and reshaped in that instant, turning into long mechanical worms that tied them to the ground, making them unable to move.
Under the horrified gazes of the others, Zhongshu's eyes turned from scarlet to black as the abyss. The lower half of his face cracked, revealing the mechanical parts inside, and mechanical tentacles extended out.
The blades of his legs made clanging sounds on the floor again and again.
He raised his mechanical claws, as if inviting everyone.
Zhongshu tilted his head, his eyes full of smiles, and asked them in a friendly manner: "Next, does anyone want to play games?"
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
Outside the factory
The cowboy in charge of monitoring the place looked at the dim factory in confusion, wondering what the company's people were up to.
"Do you want us to go in and take a look?"
A bearded cowboy asked his companion, this is a good opportunity, those steel guys seem to be useless, isn't this a good opportunity to catch everyone inside?
"Let me and you explore the way first."
"also."
The two cowboys set off.
The strange thing is that their entry process can be said to be smooth. No one came out to stop them after walking for a long time. Generally speaking, they would have been surrounded by this time.
It was nothing like it was now, where there wasn't even a sound, and with the cold wind blowing from time to time, even such brave cowboys like them couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
A man swallowed his saliva. He always felt that this was like a scene in a ghost story his mother told him.
"Hey, you have to be careful. I feel something is wrong here."
"..."
"Hello?" The cowboy turned around and found that his companion was gone.
As far as the eye can see, there is no one.
For a moment, a chill ran through his bones, and every part of his body told him in fear that something dirty was approaching.
His eyes widened, his mouth trembling, he leaned against the wall holding the gun tightly, trying to find a sense of security: "Hey, hey, where have you been? This, this is not a joke!"
He was a grown man, but at this moment he was like a shivering child, every cell in his body was shaking, and he was desperately looking for a sense of security.
Then when he turned around, he saw a monster he had never seen before looking at him. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, is anyone lost? Do you need help?"
"Ahhhhh!!"
Finally, all was quiet again.
"Oh my, why are you so scared?"
Zhongshu stretched lazily, then adjusted the parameters of his body to normal values. The mimicking metal gradually made him closer to humans and became less scary. However, Zhongshu still did not hide the shiny appearance of the metal. In his words, this was his characteristic.
"Hey, enough fun here, bye, everyone."
Zhong Shu smiled and waved to the back. All the people lying there were fainted by his fright. He kindly put them together. He wanted to continue shopping. It was a rare opportunity to come here, so why not have fun thoroughly before leaving?

Slander, all slander, you people.
The appearance of Zhongshu is based on the one of Bilibili up master who suppressed consciousness. I think it is very cool, so I created Zhongshu based on him. To respect the copyright of this up master, I will only post her avatar.
This vest is an omnic paired with Grum. His appearance is related to his origin, chaotic and disordered, a combination of viruses.
It can be regarded as a chaotic and joyful vest among vests, just like Wu Xu in My Little Pony, which makes it convenient to play the rival plot in front of other characters in the future.
What do you think? This is the first time I’ve seen a vest with a non-human positioning. Does it feel awkward?
Volume 85: Interstellar Adventurers and Cowboys: Chapter 4: Cleanup, Fanatic Fan Ye Lina (k)
Looking at Minister Guoster whom she met again, Feicui showed her signature smile, but was muttering in her heart.
Why is she here again?
Obviously, Diamond was also surprised by Jade's success last time. He had no expectations for Jade when he went to find Guster, but when he came back, he got a big favor, which made the originally arrogant marketing department behave itself.
With the help of data sent by anonymous kind-hearted people, and the misfortune of Argon Apache being attacked by the extremely dangerous wanted criminal [Virus Consciousness] Final Hub, all the people above lost their combat capability, and the layout of the market development department was successfully scrapped under such an attack.
Other departments seized the opportunity and gave the powerful opponent a good beating, and thus this powerful opponent was forced to withdraw from the inter-departmental struggle.
To be honest, Diamond and the others were all very confused. How did they manage to eliminate a powerful competitor without any clue? Did they do anything?
After this incident, Diamond thought that it was necessary to continue to maintain a good relationship with Guster. After all, although there was one less market development department, there were still other departments. Such strong support should certainly be sought if possible.
Based on the principle of using it to the fullest extent possible, Diamond once again pushed Jade out, and the other colleagues unanimously agreed.
Since your last interaction went so well and you brought back significant results, the task of making friends with Minister Gust will now be left to you. Come on, they are all behind you to support you.
Faced with such a boss and colleagues, Feicui really wanted to take out a whip and find someone to vent her anger on.
Which of you saw that I had a good relationship with Minister Guost? It was obvious that the result would have been the same if someone else had been replaced!
Tired.
Emerald raised her eyes slightly and looked at the kind-looking Guoster, keeping a hint of vigilance in her heart.
After summarizing the failure of the market development department, she did not dare to relax at all in front of Minister Guost.
On the surface, Minister Guost did nothing but work within his own scope in the Resource Recycling Department. However, no one knew how many hidden hands he was doing behind the scenes, and this incident only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Let’s not talk about who sent the data block and how to transmit it to them. The key point is how to know what they need most now. The data inside is all useful information.
The appearance of Zhongshu is also full of weirdness.
While wandering among the stars, he happened to pass by Argon Apache and saw the weak employees of the Interstellar Peace Company there, so he wanted to take revenge. Then, as he was in the mood, he did not kill anyone, but instead played around with the entire planet. There were people who were scared unconscious everywhere, and he then moved them together to make all kinds of weird shapes.
Doing this kind of thing seemed strange to outsiders. After all, you're a ruthless criminal in the universe, but you didn't kill many people, just to scare them? They didn't believe there was no hidden reason.
When their department's spaceship arrived, it would be easy to move these stubborn natives onto the spaceship and transfer them to other places, and then completely incorporate the entire Algonquin Apache into the company, and then continue the struggle between departments.
If you say that there is no involvement of Guoster, Feicui would definitely not believe it. Where would so many coincidences come from?
But it was still the same as before, nothing could be found out. Minister Guost and his subordinates had no signs of contact with any suspicious persons. They continued to do what they were supposed to do and did not get involved in anything.
It seems as if all this is so natural. Minister Guost is really unfathomable.
"Minister Gust, all the residents of Argon Apache have been relocated. After negotiation, they are willing to settle down on the planet we gave them."
There was no way out. After they woke up, they found that the scenery around them was no longer familiar. It was naturally impossible for the Interstellar Peace Company to bring them here and then take them back. There was no way out, they could only accept it.
In the end, the company was willing to give them a place to live, and the compensation was handled according to formal procedures, instead of just giving them a little bit like the people in the marketing department did. The company obtained Algonquin Apache.
This result is considered good. After all, the company will never give up Algonquin Apache. If they don't agree, they will be embarrassed.
Guster nodded with satisfaction: "Isn't this a good result? Now that the matter has been settled, let's not bother them anymore."
"Haha, Minister Guster is really kind."
Seeing that Guoster was in a good mood, Feicui couldn't help but sigh. She was not being polite but speaking from the heart. Since the establishment of the company, Minister Guoster has been doing things like this, without any selfish motives and always sticking to his work.
No matter what she thinks in her heart, or what possible speculation the founder may have set it up this way, she deserves Jade's heartfelt admiration.
Guoster accepted Feicui's praise. That was the fact. For her, life was never measured by value. This was a very common understanding.
But many people in the company no longer care about this. After all, this is not the time when the company was first established. What they are pursuing now is to pocket the value of the universe and use it to present to the Amber King.
But does the Amber King need it? It doesn't need it. What they are doing now is not worthy of His attention.
Every time this happens, Guoster misses the time when the company was first established. The company during that period really made her happy.
In the current environment of the company, Guster is undoubtedly an outlier.
Although such a Guoster makes people wary, he also makes people feel at ease.
After all, as long as her bottom line is not touched, Minister Guost is really a first-class good person.
After saying goodbye to Minister Guoster, Feicui returned to the department and reported on her work.
Diamond was very satisfied with the result and asked Jade to continue to contact Guster.
Just as I was about to return to my office, I met a young and energetic employee on the way.
"Ah, it's Ms. Emerald!"
"It's little Ye Lina. I'm surprised to see you here."
Jade smiled as she looked at the girl in front of her with her white hair highlighted.
The girl in front of him, named Ye Linna, is the company's most promising employee in recent times. The performance she has achieved in the business she has completed far exceeds that of others. Her ability and character are first-class.
Diamond also took a liking to her and thought she had the potential to become Stone Heart. This evaluation was really incredible. To be able to become Stone Heart, one would have a very high status in the company and could decide the fate of the planet's civilization with a single thought.
However, although this child is so outstanding, there is a problem...
"Yes, I completed the task assigned to me by Mr. Diamond and just returned to the department."
"That mission, little Ye Linna is really young and promising. That planet is a mess. Many people have been frustrated on it. I didn't expect that you could solve it."
