Chapter 97 Company Origins
Without checking the private messages, Mingzhao first opened the main group chat.
Winter Melon Tea (without sugar): "@Gao, the head of the Special Needs Department of Genesis Future, what exactly happened? I finally collected 100 ship upgrade cards and exchanged them for a kilogram of ice-melting agent, but it only melted less than two nautical miles of ice? Are you kidding me?"
The squirrel that doesn't eat pine nuts: "@General Manager Gao of Genesis Future Special Needs Department, I want to resign from the company. I've worked for the company in three sea areas, and you're just trying to fob me off with this inferior medicine?"
Earth's Most Handsome Labubu: "@Gao, the General Manager of Genesis Future Special Needs Department, reply quickly, I want to leave the company. @Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus, boss, I've heard all about your exploits from the people in your service area, can I work for you from now on?"
...
A large number of usernames that Mingzhao had never seen before appeared in the group.
It seems that after a night, these people finally realized that the company's de-icing agent was completely unreliable.
At this moment, someone else in the group stood up.
City Moonlight: "What did I tell you? I told you this company was unreliable. Didn't they say during the solar storm that their external valve could prevent ships from capsizing?"
"As a result, all the ships below level three died. If we hadn't trusted the company and used the resources that were originally intended for upgrading the ships to buy medicine, how could we have failed to upgrade to level three back then?"
"Unbelievable! Almost half of them are still alive, and you've already forgotten?"
Mingzhao had just noticed this person when she discovered that the Little Butter Latte Cult members had already added her to the Sailing Start group the night before and even sent her a private message.
Little Butter Latte Cult member: "Boss, this guy seems pretty reliable. Although he works in that service area, he has never joined the company and has even organized a group of people to fight against the company."
Mingzhao opened the "Sailing Forward" group and found that, amidst the enthusiastic inquiries from the group members, it seemed that the "Moonlight of the City" had been holding back for a long time and was finally getting to the point.
City Moonlight: "I never trusted this company from the beginning. You said those are drugs that directly modify the human body, how could they not have side effects?"
"However, in the early stages, when resources were scarce, the company's development of soldier ration pills really helped some people get through the hunger crisis, and they also developed enhancement potions, which made it easy to deal with the monsters at the beginning."
"Then most people are tempted. Once they join the company, they will be brainwashed by their ideas, just like a pyramid scheme, and start frantically recruiting people."
"Once almost everyone in our district becomes a company employee, their true colors will be revealed."
"All the materials that the company employees receive must be handed over to the company for redistribution. The company has a strict internal hierarchy, and people at lower levels can hardly get any resources."
"But these people have long relied on the company's drugs and have lost their ability to survive. They are trapped in a vicious cycle of continuing to work for the company to obtain drugs and having less and less time to improve their own strength."
“With the company around, our district still had more than 9,000 people before facing the solar storm, because the resources were redistributed by the company, and more than half of them did not get promoted to level three.”
"As a result, faced with such a huge disaster, all the props and medicines the company had were completely useless. Our district was wiped out, with only a little over three thousand people left."
"Actually, many people had already sensed something was wrong, but at this point, most of them were no longer strong enough to survive without a company, and no other major forces had emerged. My small group, because they had never joined a company, was capable, but there were only about twenty people, so they were not up to the task."
"@CosmicInvincibleTyrannosaurus, I know you're the boss of your area, and I know I'm not in a position to say this; it sounds like moral blackmail."
"But I still beg you to forgive them and try to accept those who have already shown remorse. After all, they were just brainwashed by the company because they wanted to survive."
Moonlight in the city's words touched many people. Yes, everyone just wants to survive, but they are forced to choose different paths.
The hostility towards company employees in the group has decreased significantly.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "I have no hostility towards ordinary players. If they are willing to start over, we will certainly accept them. However, their strength has fallen far behind, and our region's resources are limited. It is impossible for us to sacrifice our own interests to help them."
“However, even if I don’t cause them trouble, the company’s higher-ups will probably cause me trouble. I need to learn more about the people in the company from you.”
City Moonlight: "Of course, no problem. But I'm not an employee of the company and don't know much about it. Several high-ranking employees have quit because they couldn't stand the company anymore. They should know more about it. Let me introduce you."
Many employees left the company, and Mingzhao and her team resold the Icebreaker to them as agreed.
Of course, many others didn't make it and perished within the cordon.
That's how naval adventure games are; they never show any mercy to any player.
The "Sailing Forward" group has also seen a significant increase in members, and the 500-member group is now full.
Fortunately, there were still a few large groups among the newly joined players, and groups two, three, and four were also established.
As for the large group, only a few senior executives from the company were left directing and acting on their own, and not many people were joining in anymore.
As night fell, the ice began to loosen, and Mingzhao discovered that the drill had reached a speed of 35 knots after breaking through the ice.
The solid blocks of ice in the sea have turned into dense ice floes, indicating that the crisis of the frozen sea is about to pass.
Nearly two thousand people died in this disaster.
If it weren't for the company, at most half of the people would have died. Thinking of this, a hint of malice appeared in Mingzhao's eyes.
This company absolutely cannot be allowed to stay!
Just then, Moonlight from the city sent her a private message.
City Moonlight: "Be careful, the company won't let you off easily."
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "That's perfect. I'll wait for them to come to me, so I don't waste my tracking card."
City Moonlight: "It's best if you're confident, but don't underestimate these potions. The strength of the company's upper management and the lower management is not on the same level at all. These upper management not only plundered the resources of the lower management, but also enjoyed the company's highest-level potions. Their strength cannot be ignored."
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "Do you have any information about which high-ranking, powerful individuals are involved?"
City Moonlight: "What's worth noting right now are the heads of various departments, and three or four people in the special needs department. I didn't know much about them before, but recently many of our former friends have left the company and provided us with a lot of information."
"We'll compile their information and send it to you. But be careful, although these people are powerful, they are not the true rulers of the company. The true ruler of the company hasn't changed his name and is hidden among the ordinary players. It is said that he is the company's true peak combat power."
