When Irena followed Fang Zheng onto the shuttle, she was filled with despair.
"Our agreement didn't say we had to do something this dangerous!!"
"There's nothing in our agreement that says we won't do it."
Fang Zheng glanced at Irena silently.
"I told you I needed your help, and you agreed, and I paid you... See, that makes sense, doesn't it?"
"...Then I will return the gold bars to you now..."
"Hehe, I think you misunderstood, Miss Irena."
Facing Irena's bitter response, Fang Zheng laughed again.
"Do you remember what we said at the beginning?"
“…”
"I hired you to work for us, and the remuneration was a gold bar, and you agreed. So now, I am your employer, and we are in an employment relationship. The so-called employment relationship refers to the rights and obligations relationship formed when you provide me with labor services and I pay the corresponding remuneration. According to the contract, your labor must be performed under the condition of high obedience to the employer..."
Hearing this, Irena's expression changed again and again.
"So?"
“So if you don’t provide the labor, then it’s a breach of contract.”
Fang Zheng folded his arms and looked at Irena with a half-smile. He had rich experience in dealing with people like this. Back then, Gabriel, who was as lazy as a pig, was ordered around by him and was unable to live or die. Don't underestimate the power of planning to make employees give up their holidays and work overtime!
"But, but this job is too dangerous!"
"Well, your question is reasonable."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, and another gold bar fell in front of Irena with a "bang". Irena looked at the gold bar and swallowed her saliva.
"Two, two gold bars and you want me to die with you? This is too..."
"Bang!"
"...No, it's not about money. I'm just an ordinary witch who is eighteen years old. Do you think I can deal with that kind of monster?"
“Bang, bang!!”
“…This…that place is really dangerous…”
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
“…Please leave it to me!”
Irena silently picked up the gold bars on the ground, stuffed them into her bag, and then patted her chest vigorously.
"I am a genius witch who became a witch in just one year at the age of fourteen. I am the Gray Witch Irena! This little problem is nothing to me."
"Then let us go."
Fang Zheng chuckled again, turned around and walked onto the shuttle.
Are you kidding? This is just like overtime pay. You can get it, but can you spend it?
As for why I wanted to bring Irena along, the reason was very simple.
Fang Zheng could feel that something in the space station was emitting fluctuations. It was the fluctuation signal of the Order Clan, but it was incomplete and even incomplete. Because of this, the current situation of the space station was not good - in short, it was like being polluted by the enhanced version of the ancient god's light.
For Fang Zheng, blocking this signal was not a problem, so he let others stay in the battleship.
As for the reason for bringing Irena here...
As we all know, running a group requires three major artifacts.
And now... Fang Zheng silently glanced at the magic wand in Irena's hand, and then gave her a blessing.
Okay, now that I have the three magic weapons, I am now stable.
Soon, the shuttle left the Lightning and flew towards the space station. Irena sat on the chair, looking at the space station in the distance, but suddenly sighed.
"I've been to a country similar to this place before."
"Um?"
"I heard about it when I was traveling. People in that country would dress up as zombies to welcome visitors from other countries, so I went to see it."
"Then what?"
"As a result... that country has completely turned into a dead city, a world occupied by ghouls. I finally met a few survivors and heard the truth from them. I heard that a magician in that country felt that fake ghouls were too useless and that realism was also important, so he captured several real ghouls and released them. The people of that country also thought it would be more interesting to use the real ones, so they agreed."
"So, releasing ghosts in a haunted house? That's fun."
"Yes, although the magician carefully pulled out the teeth of the ghouls, he didn't seem to know that the ghouls would become infected as long as they bit them, so it didn't take long for the country to be completely infected by the ghouls."
"What about the survivors?"
"They didn't plan to leave, and seemed very excited about the situation. One of them even developed a super smelly perfume that would not be discovered by the ghouls as long as they sprayed it, so they didn't care. So I had no choice but to leave them alone."
Like a rabid Resident Evil survivor encountering a real Resident Evil? That's pretty exciting indeed.
"But when I went back a month later, I found that the remaining people had also turned into zombies. Because a lost puppy turned into a zombie, it seemed that its nose was very sensitive and it could smell the breath of living people even in a large group of zombies. So the remaining people were all bitten and turned into zombies."
Irena supported her cheek with her right hand and looked at the starry sky outside with boredom.
"Just like that, that country became a veritable country of zombies."
"People who seek death are the same in any world."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then looked again at the approaching space station.
"Well, I think we're about to go to another place to die...Tio, what's the current situation of the space station?"
"Signs of life have disappeared in most areas, Mr. Founder."
Theo's voice sounded a little uneasy.
"There are those terrible monsters everywhere, but they don't show any life signals on the life detectors. Only a few of them are very scattered. I tried to read the details of the plan, but they are physically isolated..."
"Well done, now show us a way."
Fang Zheng did not feel dissatisfied with Tio's answer. After all, Tio was not a little angel, who could manually change any information architecture. However, although Tio was powerful, he was just an information technician after all. A physically isolated network was nothing in front of a little angel. After all, for a little angel, any excuse for information exchange was considered part of the "information network", but Tio did not have this power.
"Okay... Mr. Fang Zheng, let me take a look... You can land at the entrance of the government area. I can help you open the gate, but the situation inside is not very clear. There are monsters everywhere. They have destroyed a lot of equipment and connection lines. There are also many places on fire. I tried to find the person in charge of the space station, but I couldn't find him. He must have locked himself up in a very strict place..."
"OK, this is not a problem for us, let's do it."
Soon, the shuttle entered the space station. Even if you just look from the outside, you can see how chaotic the entire space station is, with traces of explosions and collapses everywhere. The flashing alarm lights almost covered everything. Fang Zheng drove the shuttle according to Tio's instructions and came to a helipad near the government district. Just as they approached the gate, the airlock door slowly opened, and then...
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, dozens of corpses flew out and spread out in all directions, and one of them smashed directly into the window of the shuttle, scaring Irena. However, before she could react, the corpse suddenly exploded and turned into a monster with several tentacles, roaring at Fang Zheng and Irena through the window - and then it was directly bounced away by the activated shield, smashing into the wreckage not far away and disappeared.
“…”
Seeing this scene, Irena's face turned pale, but she reached out and squeezed the gold bars in her bag, and immediately relaxed.
Should be... okay, right?
Soon, the shuttle entered the gate and the airlock closed again. As the alarm disappeared, everything around returned to calm again.
"Okay, let's go."
Fang Zheng stood up and looked at Irena.
"Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
“This…is gone.”
"Are you sure? I advise you to wear protective clothing and a helmet. After all, this place is different from other places."
"No need, I'm a witch, if it's just this level, it's no problem for me at all."
Irena shook her head and looked at Fang Zheng again. Fang Zheng didn't say much, just shrugged his shoulders and opened the shuttle's hatch. Soon, a bloody stench rushed towards her, making Irena's face pale. Then she quickly covered her nose and looked at Fang Zheng. At this moment, the latter had silently put on his helmet and stared at the girl beside him.
"Anything else?"
"…Where is the protective suit?"
"Over there, do you need me to change it for you?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Irena decisively rejected Fang Zheng's kindness and rushed into the next room. Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the apron outside the door. Because Theo opened the hatch just now, all the rubbish here has been sucked into the vacuum. It can be said that it is clean and there is nothing left. But even so, Fang Zheng can still feel that the strange signal is constantly echoing, as if it is looking for something.
It is really unimaginable that just a small piece of white frost can destroy a space station with a population of one million.
It seems that the troubles of the Goddess of Sky are no less than those of the Goddess of Order.
