Chapter 52 NO.0034: Conditions that cannot be refused

The atmosphere in the corporate liaison room was very solemn.

This is actually quite normal - sitting in the same room breathing with the family members of the person who killed half of your family not long ago, just the solemn atmosphere is already very restrained.

After the person in charge of the liaison room explained to Perse Fanny that the leader of Icarus would be here later due to urgent matters, she put her pocket watch on the table and told the person in charge that she could only wait patiently for ten minutes.

Since entering the room, she has only said this sentence.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more solemn.

"One minute left."

At some point, Purse Fanny picked up the pocket watch from the table and said indifferently.

"snort……"

Upon hearing this, some people present expressed dissatisfaction with her arrogant attitude.

But she didn't react at all.

"Ms. Fannie..."

At this time, the person in charge of the liaison room hurriedly walked up. He couldn't restrain his nervousness and said:

"Even if the team leader does not arrive, we can still start negotiations in advance. After all, the final decision is voted on together..."

"It's not necessary."

Fanny stared at the rotating second hand on the pocket watch and said:

"If Erwin hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to discuss cooperation anyway."

As she spoke, she covered her pocket watch and put it into the pocket of her brick-red plaid stand-collar coat.

"But I can't wait forever, so... the time has come."

She stood up as she spoke, her watch chain dangling slightly in the air outside her pocket.

The masked man standing behind her like two mountains immediately moved her chair back.

His movements were neat and uniform, and he didn't even move his head during the whole process, as if he had trained countless times.

But in an instant, she sat down again. At the same time, the two masked men who looked like bodyguards behind her seemed to have predicted this. Before she sat down, they pushed the chair in again.

Arrived at just the right place.

"you are late."

Fanny said, but there seemed to be no complaint in her voice.

In the conference room, except for the two masked men, everyone's eyes turned to the door - Booker Erwin and Liao Qi rushed in with their afterimages.

"Something delayed me on the way."

Booker did not explain what happened, and there was no apology in his voice.

He said, sitting directly opposite the woman.

Jiang Zhou glanced at the conference room and found that there were no other seats except the passenger seat next to Booker, so he had to sit down.

Then he focused on the company executive who almost removed his frontal lobe.

Compared with the middle-aged men of the Icarus Liberation Front who wore solemn formal suits and kept smoking nicotine atomizers, Perse Fanny, an executive of Pluto Deep Diving Company, looked as if she had entered the Icarus Liberation Front by mistake.

The same goes for students and girls who go to government agencies.

She looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old - of course, this is definitely not her actual age. After all, she once worked at Apollo Biology, which has the best life extension and rejuvenation technology in the world.

She has long wavy light green hair with fluorescent light, and her eyes are a slightly shining amber color. Her skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, and it looks like she has been locked up in the basement for a long time and has never seen much sunlight.

As for what she was wearing, both in terms of the aesthetics of this era and in Jiang Zhou's opinion, it was very classical. She wore a well-tailored British-style brick-red plaid stand-collar jacket, and a long green scarf around her body.

The only extra jewelry is a pomegranate seed-shaped earring on the earlobe of her right ear.

Anyway, it doesn’t look like the stereotype of what a company executive should look like.

"Whatever you think, don't try to do it here."

At this time, Jiang Zhou received a reminder from Booker on his communication channel.

"The two bodyguards behind her are zombies. When activated, they can kill everyone except the two of us... maybe even the two of us."

"Zombies?"

Asking questions, Jiang Zhou's eyes suddenly shifted to the two masked bodyguards behind Fanny.

The two of them put their hands behind their backs, motionless like models.

Except for their eyes exposed outside the masks - their eyes were like sleepwalkers, shaking rapidly in their eye sockets.

"Military zombies have completely cut off their self-awareness. With a single command, they can enter an indiscriminate killing mode. Except for the people they want to protect, they will tear everything around them apart before stopping... Although I understand

There are not too complex commands, but things with clear goals, they can achieve the ultimate in perfection.”

Also known as zombie slave workers...

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

It was obvious that this communication was not sent to him alone. Jiang Zhou noticed that the atmosphere in the conference room had become more solemn, and several people couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two silent bodyguards behind Fanny.

"First of all, I would like to express my regret for the meaningless waste caused by the former person in charge of the company on the ground floor of the resettlement area, and for the losses to our organization."

After Booker took his seat, Perse Fanny's first statement directly hit the minefield of most people present.

He called the plan to shut down the sewage purification plant and cut off the domestic water supply to millions of residents in the underground area a "pointless waste."

He called the massacre of half of the core members of the organization a "loss" and then expressed "regret" about it.

As Jiang Zhou thought, this woman is a cold-blooded and ruthless bitch.

However, before anyone at the scene had an attack, she continued in a tone that could not be interrupted:

"The following words are spoken by me in a personal capacity. As a manager who has worked his way up from the bottom of the Avalon resettlement area, I have no sympathy for your cause. In fact, many of the company's decisions

, I don’t agree with it that much.”

Although this was a beautiful statement, as long as she raised her head and looked at the two military zombies behind her, she would know who the person in front of her was.

"I don't agree, but I will still carry out the order to the letter, right?"

The new head of the intelligence team who replaced Booker asked this.

"Yes, there is no doubt about the company's deployment. The new intelligent control center will inevitably be rebuilt, and the automobile factory in the resettlement area will also be built according to the plan."

Fanny answered calmly.

"In this case, even if we can let go of our previous hatred, we will not compromise on this most fundamental issue. We will continue to blow up the intelligent control center you built, and if you dare to step here again next time

If so, we will also..."

The newly appointed leader of the action team suppressed his anger.

"You can give it a try, but I'd say it's all in vain."

It was not a provocation, her tone of voice was more like stating the facts.

Then she continued:

"And, what if you miraculously succeed again? The company will have another time, and another time, until it succeeds. And even if you kill me, nothing will change.

There is someone who will succeed me. In this whole thing, you are not important, and neither am I. Only the will of the company is important."

"Ms. Fannie."

At this time, Booker finally spoke.

"If you deigned to go underground this time just to persuade you to surrender, then I advise you to go back and don't waste time."

The other party nodded slightly towards Booker, and then said:

"Of course I'm not here to persuade you to surrender, and I don't think you will be moved by such words. But on the other hand, compared to the previous person in charge, I don't enjoy my job. Therefore, I would be more willing to think about one, except

A more cost-effective solution than killing you all."

"What plan?"

asked the leader of the intelligence team on the side.

"The company has only one task for me, and that is to ensure that the automobile factory in the Nord Resettlement Area can start operations before July. In other words, as long as the task can be completed, there is no life-or-death conflict between us."

"How can there be no contradiction? In order to meet the energy supply required by the factory, you are going to demolish the last sewage purification plant underground in the resettlement area. Can't you guess what price the entire resettlement area will have to pay for it?"

The leader of the hacker team, who had been silent before, spoke.

"So, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Hearing this, Booker stared at Fanny and asked.

The latter shook his head and then said:

"Of course I don't have any."
