Who are they?
Why is it that their behavior patterns make it impossible to tell which organization they belong to?
Are these people from another world that fell from the sky? Why did they choose Demiga Company?
Not right.
Something is very wrong.
These guys will never give up.
They will definitely come back.
Without hesitation, Abel contacted Lister, the actual controller of Demiga Company.
[I rarely get unsolicited contact from you, Abel]
After a while, Lister's voice was heard on the connected line.
"I hope to dispatch more troops and firepower from the company headquarters, Mr. Lister. The action team encountered an unexpected enemy in the battle of Radiation Town. I think the enemy is likely to plan further attacks, so we need to be on high alert."
Abel did not hesitate and directly expressed his meaning.
[I understand your thoughts, Abel. I have seen your action records. Aaron allowed all his team members to die in battle, and then he also lost his prosthetic body in the battle, which caused him to suffer mental shock and had to receive treatment. This reckless and stupid action caused the company to lose more than 700 million Gekas. Just to satisfy his own desire to win, he caused so much loss.]
However, the answer Abel received immediately afterwards made his expression gradually become heavy.
"Yarlon's behavior was indeed a serious mistake, but Mr. Lister, even Aaron's prosthesis was lost in the battle, which can explain a lot of problems. We must be vigilant and strengthen our defense. Since the enemy can produce a machine that is superior to Aaron, then they-"
[You don't need to explain Aaron's mistakes. The company committee will soon decide what kind of punishment he should receive. Don't forget that Aaron should have been destroyed after he was eliminated from the original team leader competition. It was you, Abel, who suggested keeping him as a deputy. Aaron survived because of you, so the losses he caused and the mistakes he made were actually your fault. There is no need to defend Aaron anymore.]
My meaning was completely misunderstood.
Abel knew very well that Aaron's mistake this time made the people above him very angry, but he did not expect it to reach such a point.
Obviously their mission had not failed, and they had clearly completed the bait mission very well, but because there were so many losses, it was enough for the company's managers to have opinions about them, and the result of such opinions would often end with "layoffs" of the action team.
The kind of layoffs that don’t require thinking about life after unemployment.
"I will accept the punishment the committee has handed down to me. I will not defend my mistakes. I just hope you understand, Mr. Lister, that the enemy we are facing this time will not give up easily. Even though that 'thing' has been properly placed in the heavily guarded area of Manka Town, they may still break in. They may really do so, so we must further strengthen our defenses here."
With a slight sigh, Abel explained the situation as best he could, hoping that his immediate superior would understand.
[Well, Abel, you really haven't changed as always]
During the communication, Liszt's voice also became helpless.
[You are now an employee who has made a mistake, Abel. Do you know what this means if you continue to ask for resources from the company after making a mistake? ]
[Besides, our actions in the border area are already very eye-catching. If we continue to dispatch forces at this time, we will attract unnecessary attention. And what this attention means, I think you know better than me, right? ]
[Don't be stupid. I know you are a loyal and good employee. Think about your family. Just do your job well now. Manka Town is one of the most heavily defended towns in the entire principality. With the strength shown by the enemies yesterday, they have no chance of attacking. Okay, I still have my own things to do. If you don't have anything else to say, just go and do your own thing.]
The end result of the communication is that everything remains the same, nothing has changed.
Abel put down the communicator, stood in the corridor in silence for a long time, and finally returned to his work station without saying a word.
It seems that we can only hope that nothing goes wrong.
On the display interface of his prosthetic eyeball, Abel called up photos of his family, including photos of his wife and son. He sighed softly, then revealed a gentle smile.
Like Aaron, Abel was also a genetically modified being bred by a company specifically for the purpose of manipulating cybernetic combat.
But unlike Aaron who cares too much about himself, Abel longs for the happiness of ordinary people, a good family life, and these things that he does not have.
Demiga provided him with such an opportunity, allowing Abel to meet a beautiful girl, start a family with her, and give birth to a healthy child. Although Abel could not see his family several times a year due to work and could only see them through remote control of the prosthesis, he was satisfied with this. Because of this, compared with Aaron, Abel had a stronger sense of belonging to the company and was more willing to give everything for Demiga.
Come to think of it, I haven't visited them for a while.
Thinking this way, Abel quickly came to the brain control room and found several staff members there.
"I want to see my family, number 1225."
Abel said as he sat down on a remote controlled chair.
"Yeah, no problem, just close your eyes and relax."
As the staff member spoke, he inserted a connecting tube into the back of Abel's prosthetic brain, and then activated something, causing Abel's consciousness to fall into a deep sleep.
"Inject virtual memory 1225-6. This guy seems a little unstable recently. The guys at headquarters said that virtual memory can increase a sense of belonging, but I always feel that this method is still a little unreliable."
"Alright, alright, we're just the ones doing the work, don't think too much about it. And to be honest, after using virtual memory, the genetically modified bodies in the action team did fight much more fiercely than before. After all, they really think the company is their home, haha."
Abel himself could no longer hear the sounds of these conversations.
He just came to the side of his beloved wife, talked to her, and talked about their experiences over the past period of time with a smile.
When the child came home from school, he rushed up to Abel and hugged him, talking loudly about his experiences at school that day.
Ah, this is the happiness that I have.
This is the happiness that the company has given me, and I must protect it at all costs.
At this moment, Abel felt a warm power gradually filling his body.
[One day, when the company's stipulated service period is over, I will definitely return to you and never go anywhere else]
Abel spoke seriously to his wife and children, hugged them, and felt their body temperature.
Hold your beloved and most important family members in your arms.
Embrace your family, the most important and irreplaceable people in your life.
I hugged my non-existent family members whose faces were blank and who made no sound.
Then, in this happiness, Abel slowly opened his eyes and returned to the company base in Manka Town.
"It's almost time to get to work, please help me."
Abel sincerely thanked the company employees around him, left the room quickly, and threw himself into the next work with full enthusiasm.
Chapter 18: Hey, I have a plan~
[This plan...are you serious? ]
After listening to Lin Yi's thoughts, Mr. Neet's voice showed some rare emotional fluctuations.
"Is it really a bit risky?"
Lin Yi touched his chin and nodded, seeming not surprised by this reaction.
"Are you sure? I think you are crazy..."
Yasor, who was called to attend the combat meeting, held his forehead and didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
"Although that's what I said, as we all know, in general, the operational plans proposed by the male protagonists of novels who don't have cerebral palsy are very feasible. So I stand with Lin Yi, um, stand behind Lin Yi."
Deadpool was lying on the floor with his legs crossed while speaking, while he stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together. No one knew what dirty words he was saying.
Lin Yi's plan was quite simple and straightforward. That was to ignore Manka Town and go directly to the city where the headquarters of Demiga Company was located to kidnap the actual controller of the company, one of the richest men in the country named Lister.
"We will face the branch of Demiga Corporation in Manka Town directly. No matter what we do, we will eventually face a powerful enemy with far more numbers and equipment than us. Even if we can destroy the technological heritage, there will be basically no possibility of escaping alive."
"On the contrary, if we can kidnap this Lister, we can directly use the actual controller of the company to swagger into the branch base in Manka Town without worrying about the various checkpoints along the way."
"And in this case, even if we are discovered, we can use this hostage to gain maximum advantage. So even though this plan may not sound very decent, I think it is the best one for us at the moment."
Lin Yi was not surprised by everyone's reaction. At this moment, he explained his plan with a calm expression.
"So the problem is not here at all. Lister is not someone you can kidnap just because you want to. You are talking about one of the top 100 richest people in this country. The guards around him are simply beyond your and my imagination, and he is in a cyborg city that is almost impossible for us to reach. How on earth are you going to kidnap such a person?"
Yasor took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yi as calmly as possible and spoke.
The rebel leader had to admit that, although he had initially been prepared to sacrifice himself in order to destroy a technological legacy that could lead to even greater oppression and destruction, he now regretted having his temporary partner so recklessly proposed such an impossible plan.
"Is it impossible?"
Looking at Yasor's artificial eye whose color kept flashing, Lin Yi nodded slightly, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I think that it is possible to accomplish this because everyone thinks it is impossible."
As he said this, Lin Yi took out the mobile phone he had found on the gang boss's younger brother's body and clicked on the virtual projection mode.
"So where do you get this confidence from?"
Realizing that the other party was completely serious, Yasor felt more and more helpless.
"The first thing that needs to be corrected is that Lister was not in the cyborg city you mentioned during this period."
"This morning, I asked Mr. Neet to check the whereabouts of Mr. Lister. He is currently in a high-end hotel in the suburbs of Toga, not too far from us, attending a three-day business cooperation meeting. Therefore, in terms of the strength of the defense force, the environment where Lister is now is far inferior to where he usually is."
"Of course, even so, the security forces here are not something the resistance can confront head-on, but we don't need such a confrontation. This kind of operation does not require too many people, and we can handle it on our side."
Lin Yi spoke slowly, operating the virtual display function somewhat unskillfully to display news and hotel information.
This guy... is absolutely determined to do this...
Looking at the collected information, Yasor admitted that he did consider the feasibility of this plan for a moment.
But soon, he realized another problem and spoke again:
"Even if you are really that powerful and can kidnap Lister, then what? The disappearance of a wealthy man like Lister, do you know what this means? The war preparedness of the wealthy people across the country will be activated. For those powerful guys, if Lister can be kidnapped, it means that they can also be kidnapped. At that time, we will face the strangulation of the entire upper class of the country, not the small fights we have now. In that case, let alone destroying that technological relic, it is hard to say how long we can survive."
The so-called rebels have not really attracted the attention of the Principality of Gesleka until now.
Even if they fought with all their might, it could only become a pastime for those nobles after dinner. The army that besieged them didn't even put in much effort, and it could be said that they deliberately let most of them go.
After all, those armies had no intention of destroying them, but were using the existence of these rebels to extort military funds and expand their military strength, deliberately delaying the battle time rhythm, in order to expand the influence and power of the army. It can be said that the armies that were fighting them head-on were the ones who least wanted the rebels to disappear, which was the fundamental reason why they had the opportunity to retreat and survive.
However, if they really succeeded in kidnapping one of the top 100 richest people in the country, the situation would be completely different.
The leaders of this country are businesses, corporations, and noble individuals who possess endless wealth.
If they were not threatened, all resistance would be understandable and minor, so they would not be killed. But if one of them was really threatened and paid a price, their attitude would change, and then they would only need to consider one thing, which was how to survive as long as possible under the siege of the Principality of Gesleka.
"Oh, this is what I am going to say next. We don't need to consider other people's reactions at all, because Mr. Lister will help us cover up this matter and make sure that no one knows about his disappearance."
Then, Yasor got the answer from Lin Yi.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The color of the prosthetic eye changed drastically again, and the rebel leader began to suspect that there was something wrong with Lin Yi's brain.
“Well, is this kind of question difficult to understand?”
Lin Yi frowned slightly, and the expression of "You should use your brain more" on his face made Yasor clench his fists.
Is this guy despising his own IQ?
After we kidnapped someone, he still wants to cover for us. Do you think you are his father?
[Indeed, I didn't consider this just now. As long as the first step of the plan is successful, the enemy will naturally help us cover the follow-up operations. And even if the first step of the plan fails, we don't need to worry about this problem. Demiga Company will never make us the public enemy of the entire country.]
Then Yasol heard Mr. Neet's voice coming from the communicator.
"I can't understand... why would the other party take the initiative to cover us? This doesn't make sense."
[It's simple, Gulu... because the other party can't afford the risk of the secret being exposed]
After taking a sip of something, Mr. Neet began to explain the situation.
[The major companies in the Principality of Gusleka are not of one mind. On the contrary, they would not mind devouring each other if there is a chance. It's just that under the current circumstances, everyone has formulated a relatively stable set of rules of the game, so when it is not necessary, everyone will not break these rules.]
[However, the reason why the rules cannot be broken is that the beneficiaries of the rules are the top companies. Small companies in the middle and lower levels must operate under the rules of large companies. Once there is an attempt to destroy or harm the large companies as vested interests, then the rules will naturally disappear immediately. Those large companies will not hesitate to swallow up and destroy the short-sighted small and medium-sized companies.]
[The Demiga Company, which has obtained the technological heritage of the old era, is such a small company that breaks the rules. No matter what the technological heritage they hold, the giant companies standing at the top of the principality will never allow a small company to have such a thing that can change the rules. So no matter how we act after knowing this secret, the Demiga Company will try its best to prevent our information from being leaked, because if that happens, whether we die or not, the Demiga Company will definitely be destroyed.]
Therefore, Lin Yi’s plan may be difficult to succeed, but it will never fail.
Because in this game, the ones who can't afford to lose the most are not them, but Demiga Company.
The so-called guilt of possessing a treasure is probably something like this.
"...Is that the reason? Okay, I admit that my vision is a little narrow, but even so, the risk is too great. Why don't we just make public what we know and send this information directly to those giant companies? Wouldn't it be safer to sit back and watch the fight?"
After thinking for a moment, Yasor asked again. It can be seen that he is no longer opposed to Lin Yi's plan, but he is still somewhat reluctant to accept this extremely dangerous action.
"If we do that, maybe we can win this one, but in the future, everyone except the top executives will lose."
Facing Yasor's question, Lin Yi spoke calmly, turned his head and looked out the window, looking at several dirty children running on the street.
"That's right. If the information is exposed, Demiga Corporation will die."
"The problem is, if it really comes to that, even if they die, only the middle and lower levels of the company will die. The real high-ranking people just need to hand over the technological legacy and never get involved in similar things again. It's very easy to save their lives. Everyone is in a similar position. As long as it's not a matter of position, there's naturally no need to kill them all."
"Then the device will enter large companies with higher technological levels, be used more effectively and efficiently, cover all parts of the country at a faster speed, and eventually spread to the entire world. At that time, what can you do? When everyone in the world is controlled and believes from the bottom of their hearts that working for the company until death is a blessing, do you still have a chance of winning?"
