Chapter 939 What’s the difference between it and a cult?
Hannah reached out for Peter to continue, then gave up the middle position.
Peter still had a smile on his face, but it was much fainter.
"Haha, Hannah, you're too anxious. We've just arrived after a long flight. Let's take a break first and let our families know we're safe.
Everyone, since this place is a bit remote, the mobile phone signal is not very good. We usually rely on wireless networks to access the Internet. So if there is a signal at this moment, please let your family know that you are safe.
I suggest that you contact your family now and make a video call, otherwise the signal will be bad later and your family will be waiting anxiously.
I also want to tell my family that the signal here is not very good, so don't worry if I can't get through to you for a while, we are safe here."
This was a very considerate remark, but Wen Congwu sneered, "I'm afraid after this call, there will be no signal in their park anymore."
The middle-aged woman in the monitoring room's phone rang. Seeing it was a video call from Fang Dongmei, she quickly ran to the kitchen, grabbed an apron from the side, and tied it on before answering the phone: "Hello, girl, are you there yet?"
"Yes, Mom, I just arrived. This place is quite remote, a training base on the mountain. The environment is very good, like a sanatorium.
It’s just that the signal isn’t very good, so I may not be able to contact you every day.”
"It's good to be here. Is it safe abroad?"
"This place looks quite safe. There are security guards standing guard at the door. Don't worry."
Fang Dongmei faced the camera with a soothing smile on her face and her voice was steady and natural, "It's just that the signal is not very good, so I may not be able to contact you every day.
Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and will message you when I have the chance.
You should also take care of yourself and take your medicine on time!"
Her eyes slowly and casually scanned the layout of the hall, the direction of the passage, and the uniformed guards.
Everyone in the operations center held their breath, listening intently. The female officer playing "Mother" immediately understood and responded with a worried yet forcedly relaxed tone, "Okay, Mom gets it! You have to be good too! Take more pictures... Oops, the oil in the wok is heating up, wait a minute~"
She deliberately raised her voice, and the noise of spatulas colliding and oil popping filled the background.
Under this perfect noise cover, Wen Congwu's voice passed through the encrypted channel, low and clear, into the tiny receiver hidden under Fang Dongmei's hair: "'Snowy Owl', safety first! Prioritize observing the internal structure, personnel configuration, and security measures.
Avoid conflict and remain compliant. Reinforcement plans have been activated, waiting for the opportunity.
Repeat, safety first! "
Fang Dongmei seemed helpless about her "mother's" nagging, and nodded gently at the camera: "I know, Mom. You go ahead with your work. I'll hang up first. I have some formalities to go through." Then she ended the call.
She put down her phone, still with a trace of concern for her family on her face, and looked at Peter naturally.
Peter looked around with a professional smile on his face. "Has everyone reported safety to their families? Is there anyone who hasn't contacted their families yet?"
Once you enter the room, the signal may be even worse.
The infrastructure here is not as good as in China, and power outages and internet outages are common.”
"Wait, Supervisor Peter," said the bookish male colleague. I looked at his information and found out that his name was Dong Hui.
He pushed his glasses up, keenly grasping the key point. "I understand you mentioned a poor signal, but 'disconnected'? Will the wireless network be disconnected as well? Wouldn't that mean we're completely cut off from the outside world?"
The smile on Peter’s face faded a little, with a bit of helplessness: “Sir, this is a mountainous area, and the infrastructure is indeed relatively backward.
Occasional failures are inevitable, but rest assured, internal communications within the base are unimpeded. Also, let me emphasize again,
His tone became serious, "For everyone's safety, please do not attempt to leave the park without permission.
The forest outside is very dangerous, not only with large wild beasts, but also with some... well, not so friendly locals.
In order to prevent wild animals from breaking in, the barbed wire on top of our wall is electrified with high voltage. If it is touched, the consequences will be disastrous.
Please abide by the regulations and only stay in designated safe areas."
High voltage power grid!
The atmosphere in the operations center grew even more tense. Luo Yong immediately issued an order: "Record! Install a high-voltage power grid around the park walls! Increase the danger level in the target area!"
Seeing that everyone looked a little scared, Peter's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.
He paused and continued to announce, “Okay, there is one last important arrangement before everyone moves in.
In order to ensure everyone's health during the training, the company requires all new colleagues to go to the "Health Center" in the park for a comprehensive physical examination.
I hope all partners will actively cooperate, as this is also a way to be responsible to everyone."
Another physical examination? My heart was alarmed. This Sima Zhao's intention was about to be revealed.
In the operations center, Wen Congwu's brows were also twisted into knots.
Some people began to express dissatisfaction, saying, "Why do we need another physical examination? We need a physical examination to register for a competition, we need a physical examination to join a job, and why do we need a physical examination to participate in training?"
"Yeah, I've never seen a company that cares so much about their employees' health."
"It's okay to have a physical examination, but there's no cell phone signal, and even Wi-Fi isn't guaranteed. This is too much. For a company as big as COLLIN, can't they find a decent place to hold training? Why do they have to choose this place in the middle of nowhere?"
As the voices of doubt grew louder, Peter's face darkened.
He cleared his throat and said with a forced smile, "Dear partners, I understand your concerns very well. The company has always been concerned about the health of its employees, not only physically but also mentally.
You can completely regard this as an experience of getting away from modern life, returning to nature, and a spiritual practice to completely relax your body and mind..."
"Damn it, the more I listen, the more it sounds like the kind of lies a cult uses to deceive people." Luo Yong couldn't help but swear.
They even want to take people's organs. What's the difference between them and a cult?
There is still a little difference. The cults believe in the imaginary god, but they believe in the US dollar.
At this time, another voice sounded in the hall. It was the plump female colleague who had expressed doubts in the car just now. "If we can't connect to the Internet, then our mobile phones can only be used as game consoles?" She tried to test it in a relaxed tone.
Peter shrugged and said, "There's one thing I forgot to tell you. The sockets here are different from those in China. I'm afraid your charger won't work.
To prevent your phone from being lost due to long periods of non-use, which could cause inconvenience when you return home, the training center will keep it for you."
After saying that, a burly man came forward with a plastic storage box to collect the phone.
