Chapter 360: Invisible Resistance
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Posthumous Reemployment Center was a large-scale construction facility that existed on every corporate planet. Those who could be sent there were either corpses or dying people.
And reemployment after death was a contract system in the megacorp. Basically, all low-level personnel could not avoid continuing this duty after death.
This was because in theory, they would not be able to repay the debt they owed while they were alive, and they would need to continue working after their deaths.
On this day, a pile of corpses that had been transported here entered the Remaining Value Recycling Room as usual. This was to extract the last bit of value from the corpses before turning them into living corpses.
Although years of hard work made the corpses’ organs almost useless, there would occasionally be valuable corpses that came here. The main goal of this recycling room was to recycle such corpses.
Beside the operation table in the recycling room, the employees who were already used to working here examined the newly delivered corpses. Their shrewd eyes were fixed on each corpse.
After working for a long time, he would intercept a portion of the corpses that he valued before they were sent to the inspection cabin. With his experience, he could earn a lot from this job.
It was the same this time. He instantly realized that there was something wrong with a certain corpse. Just as he was about to go over and cut off the corpse, someone stopped him.
“That’s enough. You got quite a bit two days ago. It’s not easy to do fake accounts. We can’t touch any of them today.”
The person who stopped him was a manager who was brought in externally. He seemed to be a high-level executive. Although the company had always judged people based on their economic strength, and social class was only a support, this did not mean that he could resist this administrator now.
Therefore, he could only retract his hand unwillingly and walk back to his post dejectedly.
As for the manager from before, he glanced at the corpse that was not right. Data seemed to flash in his eyes, but he did not say anything. Instead, he continued to stay in place coldly with a dark expression. Anyone who saw him like this would consciously walk around him.
As for the strange corpse, it trembled slightly when no one noticed it.
He was a miner. To investigate the Posthumous Reemployment Center, he disguised himself as a corpse. With the help of the bionic skin on the surface of his body and the instruments in his body, he perfectly deceived all kinds of detectors, but he didn’t expect someone to see the abnormality artificially. This reminded him of the story circulated in the Assimilation Fighters—hands-on familiarity.
Relying completely on machinery might not be as good as doing it with one’s body.
“It’s just that… I didn’t expect my companions to have already infiltrated such a place?”
Recalling the scene just now, the miner still felt a lingering fear.
Although his body had undergone a huge change and he had gradually understood his strengths under the education of the Assimilation Fighters, his thoughts still stagnated at that moment. He was even thinking about how to deal with that person.
However, someone had helped him solve this problem. If the other party hadn’t taken the initiative to establish a connection with him, he wouldn’t have known that the Assimilation Fighters had also infiltrated this place.
After a brief exchange in the data network, the miner learned that the other party had just arrived and was also investigating this place.
The miner didn’t ask how their infiltration of this Corporate Empire was going, but he felt that many of the higher-ups had probably joined the embrace of assimilation.
And this was only the tip of the iceberg. He knew that under the Administrator’s orders, the Assimilation Fighters were still mainly operating in the dark. At the moment, they had no intention of doing anything on a large scale. Their fleet had always been hidden in space.
In a real war, the Corporate Empire that had been infiltrated into a sieve would definitely not be a match for the Assimilation Fighters.
“… Is this the strength of their companions? They’re already so terrifying. How powerful will their superior, the Administrator, who is the pinnacle of artificial intelligence, be?” He thought to himself and felt that his fortuitous encounter was truly unbelievable.
From his companions, he learned that he had been saved by the Administrator. He was indeed dead in a physiological sense, but he had magically come back from the dead. This was something he had never expected.
This was no different from a miracle to him. His companions had told him about their past and knew that the Administrator had also given them a new life.
Other than curiosity, he was more in awe of this mysterious artificial intelligence.
After lamenting in his heart for a while, the miner entered the morgue with the corpses that had passed the test and secretly 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 area. This was the place responsible for turning corpses into living corpses. The remaining three seemed to correspond to the direction of several different corpses.
One of them was an underground work area. The miner thought that it should be the area assigned to the corpses that were sent to take care of the underground eggs. The other two were other work areas and special work areas. Although he didn’t know the specific destination, they weren’t the miner’s targets.
Therefore, as he went deeper into the underground work area, he began to search for information that might be related to the underground egg.
During this process, he easily avoided the surveillance range. He didn’t even use hacking methods, nor did he encounter any patrols or guards. It seemed that the people in power here didn’t need these things.
The miner could also understand. In his memory, there had been no resistance in the Corporate Empire for a long, long time. Perhaps everyone here had been tamed and become laborers who could never escape the company.
Therefore, it was understandable that he did not pay attention to protection. This allowed him to easily come to the office of the person in charge here.
As he expected, it was working hours now, but the person in charge was not at his post. It was obvious that he had long gone somewhere.
Taking leave was a common method used by the higher-ups. The hours they needed to work could be done with just a few phone calls. Compared to the endless work of the lowest class, their work was obviously much easier.
In the miner’s memory, the most senior company manager he had seen was a senior foreman, and he had only seen him on the day he was rated as a model worker.
At this moment, the person in charge of the Posthumous Reemployment Center was already a department head. To him in the past, this was already a heavenly existence. He was undoubtedly a high-level person. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
He felt that he would definitely be able to find something in the department head’s office, so after confirming that his whereabouts had not been discovered, he entered this place and rummaged through it.
Just as he had expected, one of the documents recorded the habits and growth criteria of the Underground Egg. At the same time, it gave the evacuation time standard.
“Will those lifeforms destroy the entire planet after they mature?” The miner found it unbelievable, but at the same time, he felt that it was only natural.
After all, it was a lifeform born at the core of the planet. Even if its birth did not cause much damage to the geological structure, it would almost inevitably cause an ecological imbalance. At that time, the planet might not be habitable. “If that’s the case, how many such planets are there in the entire galaxy? Since it’s to provide biological weapons for others, I’m afraid the number won’t be small…”
His heart was a little heavy now because he thought of the end of the people on these planets.
The company would definitely not spend a lot of effort to evacuate everyone. That might be too great a loss for them. Most of the laborers might end up with the destruction of the planet, and these people would not know their end.
“…We have to stop it!” The miner once again steeled his resolve. He began to check the frequency at which the Posthumous Reemployment Center sent corpses to the pothole to work, to determine how much the Underground Egg had grown.
“Although this creature will definitely cause a huge commotion before it’s born, it’ll be too late by then…”
However, as he read, the miner found a wanted document that had been issued a long time ago in the deepest part of the filing cabinet where these documents were stored.
“Wanted?” This unfamiliar term stunned him. In the hundred years he had lived, he had never heard of anyone being wanted by a company. Moreover, from the time of signing, this wanted document was at least two hundred years ago. At that time, the director of the Posthumous Reemployment Center was not even the current one.
Puzzled, he checked the contents of the wanted poster.
[Warrant]
[Recently, the long-disappeared rebel group the Sentry has shown signs of activity again. It has already carried out terrorist activities in many branches. After discussion and research by the board of directors, they have decided to distribute this document layer by layer. All departments are requested to pay attention to the stability under their rule.]
The Sentry Organization mentioned in the wanted order was the first time the miner had heard of it. In his past memories, there had never been such news circulating.
“…It’s normal to think about it. If I could even hear about it back then, then the influence of this Sentry Organization would definitely far exceed my imagination. But now, it seems…”
From the looks of it, this Sentry Organization was probably just an insignificant droplet under the Corporate Empire.
“However, 1 didn’t expect that someone would actually try to resist. Perhaps not all people in this galaxy are silent…”
At this moment, his eyes lit up because he saw the dawn of resistance. The Corporate Empire did not completely control everyone as he had once thought..
