Chapter 108 The Calm Under the Storm

Chapter 108 - Calm Under the Storm

The steel structure shed that Chen Fei was familiar with became dark and cold at this moment, and the air was still filled with a faint burnt smell and the residual smell of blood. It was no longer as warm as spring and as bright as daytime, but had become... It became like a dark hell.

The completely dead Target low-temperature fusion energy tower no longer emits bursts of warmth. The remaining backup power allows the Nixie tube display to continue to shine brightly, "ID: 2333!"

The faint light kept the shack from falling into darkness.

The body that was originally left here has disappeared. It was obvious that people from the security team had come and cleaned it up.

There was only a dented wall left in the shack, fallen branches and leaves on the ground, and bullet holes everywhere.

Using the light of the Nixie tube, Chen Fei fumbled for a while and found an emergency light.

The halogen light bulb with a simple design and structure, like the Nixie tube, survived the strong electromagnetic pulse and was still able to light up. There was still electricity in the battery, and the light immediately illuminated the entire shed.

Chen Fei quickly found the little bird sleeping soundly in the new bird's nest. It huddled tightly against the third-level light magic beast crystal core.

The EMP weapon had no effect on the World of Warcraft crystal core at all. A few faint light spots escaped from the surface of the crystal core and swayed into Xiaojiu's body. Whenever it came into contact with its black feathers, these light spots would light up slightly.

For fear of disturbing his little bird, Chen Fei put the cover back gently.

Using the light of the emergency lights, Chen Fei began to clean up the mess in the shack. It took a while to clean it up and return the swayed items to their original places.

It's just that the energy tower is full of bullet holes, but it can't do anything about it.

"Old man..."

After shouting out of habit, Chen Fei slapped his forehead in annoyance.

The old man was gone, and he and Xiao Jiu were the only ones left in the shack.

There was a soft sound, and a figure appeared at the door of the shack, holding a wine bottle in each hand, and pushing the door with his shoulder.

When the other party found someone in the shack, he was stunned at first, and then smiled drunkenly.

"Is there anyone? Hiccup! Just in time, come and stay with me, hiccup! Drink!"

His face was flushed red, and he was still shaking the drunken cat fist. The smell of alcohol quickly spread in the shack, which was completely different from his previous iceberg temperament that kept strangers away.

"Manager Hana?!"

Chen Fei stared at this uninvited guest in shock.

"No, that's right, it's me, Hiccup! In the name of executive manager, Hiccup!, I order you to accompany me, Hiccup! Drink!"

Stumbling towards Chen Fei, the wine bottle hit him directly in the face.

Good guy! All of a sudden, he went from a white-knuckled guy in the workplace to a silly girl in the village!

You must have drunk too much!

"Please drink less. I'll find you a glass of water!"

Chen Fei was about to turn around, but he was grabbed by the drunk female executive manager, pushed him to the bed in the shack, and then sat down on his butt.

"Don't run! Drink with...me!"

Hana Gagar, who was so drunk that she was confused, held Chen Fei hard and refused to let him go, and suddenly burst into tears.

"It's really hard for me... Wuwuwu... It's too hard, hiccup!... Those directors and shareholders are all so special, hiccup!... They're not human beings, you bastards... I've tried my best..."

The vague drunken talk makes people confused.

However, Chen Fei could understand that sitting in the position of executive manager, he must face more pressure than many people.

Especially at this juncture of corporate war, if you make a mistake, not only will your own life be in danger, but others will also be implicated.

Faced with the pressure from industry giants and the Memann Brothers consortium, the internal hidden dangers of Tianqi Defense Group finally broke out. People died for money, and birds died for food. Some people wanted to fight, some wanted to make peace, and everyone had their own ideas, which naturally triggered Pretty fierce internal fighting.

There are many mountains and complex factions within the company. In normal times, the conflicts between each other are just minor quarrels. For the sake of the overall situation, the board of directors will remain relatively even and maintain a balance as much as possible.

Now this balance has been forcibly broken by external forces. Although the 911 Air Service Base successfully repelled the enemy, several other sub-units under the Tianqi Defense Group suffered huge defeats and even were completely wiped out.

These losses have threatened the foundation of Tianqi Defense Group. People in various departments are panicked, and many people have begun to make plans for themselves.

All of a sudden, all the monsters and ghosts appeared.

Hana Gagar's faction has inevitably been suppressed, and the situation is not optimistic.

Although the 911 Air Service Base won a big victory in the corporate war, she did her best to obtain a generous reward to stabilize the morale of the military.

However, a series of bad news from the group company headquarters made all the good mood brought about by this victory disappear.

I was full of bitterness and pressure but had no one to talk to, so I wanted to find a place where there was no one and get drunk to relieve my worries. However, I accidentally met Chen Fei. I grabbed him without thinking and threw the bottle at him. Don’t even think about running away, rookie!

After being force-fed two sips of wine, Chen Fei became a little dizzy and hiccupped involuntarily.

"Hiccup! Manager Hana, it's so late, you should go back and rest."

The silly girl Hana had a slutish smile on her face and said while smelling of alcohol: "Rest, you can rest forever after you die."

The number on the upper right corner of the label is 80 degrees, and the other bottle is 75 degrees.

"Nonsense, aren't we still alive?"

Chen Fei shook his head. Manager Hana's words were too depressing. Pah, pah, pah, unlucky!

"How long do you think we can live?"

Hana Gagel stared at Chen Fei.

"Live a lifetime!"

Chen Fei's answer was also a god answer.

"Hahahaha, you... know nothing about the truth!"

Hana Gagel stuffed the bottle in her hand into Chen Fei's hand, then shook her index finger with an inexplicable smirk on her face.

"So what is the truth?"

Chen Fei tilted his head, and became more and more confused.

"Take a sip... first, then I'll tell... you, hiccup!"

The female executive manager was obviously drunk and unconscious, but she kept it a secret.

"You're kidding!"

Chen Fei expressed doubt.

This woman was drunk, all nonsense, not a word of it can be believed.

Drunk talk can always be denied.

"Drink, if you don't...drink, I won't tell you!"

Hana Gagel laughed, her expression was very strange, and said: "You have to drink big gulps, yes, big gulps, small sips don't count!"

Gulp gulp!

Chen Fei was eager to know the answer, and took two gulps.

"Okay, manly enough, it's refreshing!"

The female executive manager laughed, and patted Chen Fei's shoulder with a female man's style.

"I've already drunk it, tell me!"

Chen Fei shook his head, his eyes red, the wine was a bit strong, and then looked at the wine label.

The brand was called "Miracles in Life", and there was a line of small words at the bottom: "Miracles will appear in the next second, and life will shine in the next moment."

Don't believe it!

80 degrees!

I was fooled!

It's okay, I can have another sip.

Chen Fei couldn't help but take another sip. This bottle of wine must cost tens of thousands of star yuan, and every sip now is a profit.

The typical petty-bourgeois mentality is at work.

Then he heard the female executive manager beside him say faintly: "Of the several air bases owned by Apocalypse Defense Group, only 911 is left."

"Huh???"

Chen Fei mechanically turned his head and asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, haha, hahaha, Apocalypse Defense is about to finish, and we are about to finish too!"

Hana Gagel laughed nervously.

The blow from the industry giants is all-round. The Apocalypse Defense Group, which just got the remains of a golden dragon, has suffered heavy losses and has become a big fat piece in the eyes of all parties. Many peers are beginning to move and want to pounce on it to share a piece of the pie.

Perhaps the top ten military contractors in the industry have long been eyeing the Apocalypse Defense Group, which has made a lot of money. The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. It's just that there has always been a lack of a reason or excuse.

In the final analysis, it is a game of big fish eating small fish.

Now that the small fish is fat, the big fish wants to eat it. It's that simple.

911 Air Base destroyed 897 Air Base, which caused the military contractor that owned the latter to suffer heavy losses and fall into the dilemma of being almost insolvent and about to go bankrupt. It was acquired by the eighth-ranked American Brothers United Consortium, but it became the fuse of corporate war and civil strife in Apocalypse Defense Group.

Not many people would really blame 911 Air Base. In fact, everyone knows that this is just a coincidence. Even if it doesn't happen now, it will definitely happen in the future. It's just a matter of time.

"We... are finished? How is this possible?"

Chen Fei couldn't believe his ears.

911 Air Base had obviously won a great victory, causing the enemy to suffer heavy losses and flee in embarrassment. There should be no way to make a comeback in a short time.

Since it has already occupied such an advantage, there is no sign of it being finished.

Could it be that this one-eyed old woman got drunk and started talking nonsense?

"Do you think the Apocalypse Defense Group is a monolithic entity?"

Hana Gagel looked at Chen Fei with a mocking expression. A rookie is a rookie. She has no experience in struggle and is naive and cute.

The female executive manager who always keeps her word seems to be back.

Chen Fei resisted the feeling of being tipsy and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

"Where there are interests, there are people. There are rivers and lakes, and there are interests. When everyone's interests are consistent, it is Apocalypse Defense. If they are not consistent..."

Hana Gagel's clenched fist suddenly opened, and he laughed, "No! Haha, come on, take another big sip."

"..."

Chen Fei was stunned.

He had never thought that such a terrible crisis would be hidden inside the Apocalypse Defense Group, which is so powerful, and it would even tear the entire group apart.

"I told you, you have to keep it secret and don't tell anyone. Dare to leak a word!!!"

The female executive manager waved her hand, and heard a slight sound of tearing silk flashing in the air.

The large patch of flowers and plants that the Neanderthal old man Barut had carefully planted before his death was instantly cut in half, with the cut edges neatly cut.

Chen Fei's hairs were almost standing up.
