Chapter 24 Purging
Everything Xu Yang could see belonged to the company, floor tiles, windows, walls, domes, lamps, billboards, boxes, vehicles, not to mention merchandise.
In the past, I had wondered whether the corpses of the company people belonged to the company. After consulting the employee handbook, Xu Yang confirmed that the corpses also belonged to the company and were usually used for experiments.
Everything is written in the thick entry agreement, if there is a second option, no one is willing to sign, but people have to work.
Sharon Brown, a witch who studies social morphology in New Taixi, pointed out that the world has entered the era of companies after the era of witches, and lacks a "national era" that is very important in normal historical evolution.
In one of the historical models she constructed, if there were no witches and no companies that landed in New Taixi Continent in advance, the world should be divided into countless countries based on the ethnic divide.
In the corporate age, ethnic boundaries are dissolved and all populations have become equal workforces.
Sharon praised the corporate system. Under its guidance, meaningless human internal conflicts ended, and human beings could finally put aside the differences of the civil war and faithfully serve the expansion of capital.
At the same time, she also strongly criticized the intensifying national rights movement today. She opposes companies setting up special departments based on nationalities, and even opposes people's reconstruction of historical concepts such as nation, nation, and state. This wave has been surging in the past 10 years. rise.
The era when the world was dominated by witches and made up of some feudal or slave countries seems to be particularly beautiful in today's online propaganda.
Relatively speaking, modern corporatism is a social system based on the corporate system. In this social form, the most important thing is companies and their legal person status. All disaster relief, distribution, welfare and other work of the company alliance are based on the company.
Each company builds soaring skyscrapers within its own corporate precinct, so a lot of fortifications must also be built beneath the surface to carry its weight.
Each underground city not only provides high-quality labor for the upper part, absorbs the inferior population, but also the foundation of the above-ground metropolis.
This also brings trouble to the actions of the underground residents.
After leaving the square, Xu Yang and the others were blocked by a huge underground structure.
These structures are high-strength cement buildings, each side is clearly marked with "construction by Zhendi Construction Company" and "Yuefeng Club Property", with a large number of fluorescent identification codes, as long as you scan it, you will enter the company's homepage, Learn about their glorious history.
At the same time, these signs also make a clear warning that these structures belong to Anku City, and residents of Aizu Castle are strictly prohibited from approaching.
Some people died next to these structures.
"Why are these people dying here?" Farosa saw that they died in different states, some with bloodied heads, some with blackened bodies and electric shocks.
"Maybe they were touched by mistake, triggering the automatic defense device..." Xu Yang said, and he rejected it after a while, "It's impossible, these things are too conspicuous."
"I want to attract the company's attention." Ye Ye turned his head, not wanting to look at the corpse.
"Intentionally picking quarrels and provoking trouble..." Xu Yang felt a chill in his heart.
"Yes," Ye Ye said, "this has happened before."
Only by deliberately destroying the company's property can people from the company come down to investigate the situation. If they spend all their property and beg for mercy, they may be able to take them away.
However, what they encountered was an automatic defense facility, and Xu Yang was scanning the discharge equipment in the wall.
These corpses will only appear as spots that no longer move in the thermal monitoring system above, and everything will be the same after the corpse cools down.
Xu Yang heard the rustling movement, and turned around to see a few emaciated gray squirrels sitting in the distance, waiting for Xu Yang and the others to leave, they were going to haul the corpse. Their posture is alert, and as soon as Xu Yang makes a move, they will roll over and hide.
No time to deal with this, Xu Yang could only move on.
Along the walls, they walked through the dark underground city, covered with icy metal, so oppressive that people could not breathe.
Xu Yang recalled the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the gray sky and the torrential rain. They have never been so memorable. Their work station is on the 24th floor. If they jump off, they will be rescued by the interception device, and their performance will be deducted for one day.
"A lot of smashing and noisy sounds." Farosa listened to the bursts of movement in the darkness.
"They are fighting the rat people. The Aizu Underground City has at least 300,000 people," Xu Yang said. "Even as the 'underground garbage dump' in Anku City, there are many people here. There are about 100,000 people in Katagi."
"300,000 people!" Farosa was shocked. "This is an amazing and huge city! Constantinier, the largest city in Taixi Continent, has almost that much population."
"There are a lot of people," he said, "but it's hard to fight the rat people in this situation."
The Katagi area is like an intricate pipeline system. Except for the open square where the former hypermarket is located, the view of other places is extremely limited, and the situation of people being fragmented is particularly notable.
Especially in the case of a power outage, once lost, it is difficult to find each other again. They are blind and deaf. They are far less flexible than the rat people who rely on pheromones and noses. The rat people can respond to every call, but people are suspicious of each other.
"There are ten billion people in the world," Ye Ye said.
"Ten billion? Then you will eat hundreds of mountains every day just from the food you eat, and you will produce as much garbage as hundreds of mountains every day. How did you survive? No, you must be lying. Me, ten billion people?"
"Everything has changed - be careful!" Xu Yang stopped.
On the corner ahead, there is a prosthetics clinic with a sign of "Old Cui Yitien Store". It is located on the ground floor of a humble apartment. The apartment itself seems to have fallen. Several rat people stick their heads out of the high windows and sit on the metal terrace. Eating living people on the side.
A woman was grabbed by their hands and feet, whining loudly. They cut off her fingers, guts and eyeballs from the woman to eat, and pulled out the circuits and parts of her body. , threw it to the companion below who was begging for food, and soon the woman's last voice had stopped.
Boom, boom! Downstairs, the rat people used crude homemade spears, steel pipes and stones to knock on the iron door of the prosthetic clinic. With their efforts, the door was shaky and the handle was deformed.
These Rat Men were wearing rudimentary clothing, baseball caps, T-shirts, jackets, ragged coats, overalls, jeans, sneakers, leather shoes, sneakers, and human clothes on the Rat Men, which made Xu Yang horrified, they must be Clothes picked up in the garbage dump, dirty and commonplace, made him feel that the Rat Man was infinitely close to a human.
"Ahhh - come on!"
"Smash it open, smash it open!"
The rat people even spit out human words, making Xu Yang feel uncomfortable.
The nightmarish humanoid race rumored to live deep underground is now alive and well, in swarms, in thousands.
What a nightmare scenario.
From the top of the street, from the ventilation pipe of the dome, jumped down a strong and burly black rat, covered with thick black hair and holding a pistol.
"Hurry up - smash!" it commanded loudly.
The Black Rat Man seemed to have a higher status than the skinny Rat Man in the shabby clothes below, and when they saw the Black Rat Man, they all showed great respect.
"Boss!"
"Get out of the way!" they yelled.
boom! The black rat man fired at the doorknob, and the bullet pierced the chain of the iron door. Xu Yang vaguely heard a man's panic shouting from inside the prosthetic clinic.
"Kill them." Xu Yang picked up his submachine gun and aimed at the heads of the rat people.
Farosa looked indifferent, raised her right hand, Xu Yang noticed that her hand was bright with gray light.
"Destroy lives," Farosa whispered.
- Death comes in an instant.
"Quack quack—"
"Uh!"
The gray light flashed, like an inviolable decree depriving the Rat Man of life, and like sweeping the dust.
Immediately afterwards, their heads exploded one by one! Then the body, the limbs, quickly melted and shattered.
A Rat Man noticed the sudden death of his partner, his face was horrified, and the next second his own head exploded into pieces, which shocked the surrounding Rat Man enough.
The rat people dropped their belongings, landed on all fours, and fled, but they could not escape the fate of death. One by one, including the smug rat people and big black mice in the high places, they all turned into pieces.
Blood splattered and minced meat flew.
Seeing them being shattered by magic power one by one, Farosa lowered her head, covered her mouth and laughed.
Xu Yang heard the rat people's internal organs torn, bones broken, and limbs broken, and soon death covered the entire apartment. Xu Yang held his breath and took a long time to accept the facts in front of him.
None of the Rat People survived.
Her power has never returned to its peak. Xu Yang slowly turned her head and saw that the gray mark on her right hand was greatly dimmed. Just killing the rat people in front of her had consumed most of her strength.
If Farosa is right, she has the power to wipe out all of the world's population.
Although there are 10 billion people in the world, for her, it just takes more time to kill.
I lived with such a witch, Xu Yang felt that everything was absurd, but he had tried his best to adapt himself.
Ye Ye was stunned, the steel pipe in her hand was suddenly useless.
"Why are you stunned?" Farosa turned to Leaf, "I killed the mouse, you should be very happy, it's time to go on."
"...I..." Ye Zi was at a loss, "I..."
"It's okay to feel scared." Farosa looked to the side, "Anyway, others have always treated me this way."
"Ye Ye is not a coward." Xu Yang said.
"Ha... Yes." Ye Zi wiped his sweat, "It's just magic, magic."
"I like friends," Farosa smiled, "but it takes courage to be my friend. Ah, waking up from a long slumber, no one knows me. I'm going to take this opportunity to make more friends, Leaf, what do you think? ?"
Ye Ye nervously looked at the fragmented mice on the ground and walked forward.
Maybe let Ye Ye join our oath, so she won't be so nervous.
Xu Yang took them to the prosthetic clinic and pushed open the broken iron door.
