Chapter 216 Chapter 216: Deleting Records
-Dream City.
Skyscrapers stretching thousands of meters into the clouds are common sights here, even blending into the city's skyline and becoming a beautiful part of the landscape.
In the Dream City, countless people look up daily at these massive structures, dreaming of one day entering them and joining the ranks of the top-tier companies.
Each of these magnificent high-rises, towers, and spires belong to giant corporations and financial tycoons, boldly showcasing their immense wealth and status. Their confidence stems from their products penetrating every aspect of people's lives.
It seems that it's not companies that can't do without people anymore, but people who can't do without these companies. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Of course, this holds true as long as operations run smoothly without any major accidents.
Unfortunately, one super-corporation is currently facing such a significant incident.
In a completely sealed room, resembling a huge surveillance center and spanning hundreds of square meters, numerous electronic screens flicker in the darkness, packed tightly together in their hundreds.
Beneath these screens are many researchers in uniforms, identifiable by the "angel wings" emblem on their shoulders, a symbol of Kael Technology, the largest protective company in the Dream City.
Apart from these researchers, who wear strange devices and work on computers, a burly man in a more senior company uniform stand above them. He's looking up, his brow continually furrowed as he focuses on the images on the hundreds of monitor screens.
"Chief William, signals from clones number 10836, 17534, 6532, and 7211, totaling over twenty, have disappeared. They are preliminarily judged to have encountered a Miasma disaster tide."
"Immediately construct a model and estimate the signal timing."
"I also feel sorry for your girlfriend. She has a promising resume and might have had the chance to join Kael Technology, just like you, enjoying the envy of her peers and other university classmates. As employees of Kael Technology, you wouldn't have to worry about mortgages or car loans. Even your future children could attend the best schools funded by Kael Technology, receiving top-notch education. After graduation, they might easily join Kael Technology without competing with millions of other graduates, thanks to their parents' connections."
The young male employee, sweating under the pressure from the burly man, still insisted, "Whatever you say can't change the fact that you're violating..."
But before Famas could finish, Chief William interrupted him.
"However, do you know what? All these good things are about to vanish because of your current action. Let me tell you the truth. The company is in a severe crisis now. Your complaint will not only be ignored, but you will also be fired. Oh no, more likely, since you know some company secrets, you might spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Of course, you could choose another path. Follow my order, let the explorer teams in Y-78 and Y-80 continue mining in the 'Old World' for the company. If they successfully excavate valuable 'Old World' relics from 'Zero Dream', not just me, but you too will be hailed as the company's saviors. With a promotion, you, as part of the management, could easily help your mother and girlfriend, as I just mentioned, right?"
"Moreover, you know what's most crucial? Even if they fail and die in 'Zero Dream', it will be them, not you. Do you understand?"
The young male employee wanted to say more, but he noticed the changed looks in his "colleagues'" eyes. No one supported him anymore.
At that moment, a communication message suddenly appeared before the burly man.
"Chief William, the advisory group from Sin City has arrived."
"Understood, I'll be right there."
After responding to the message, William patted the young man's shoulder meaningfully, even appointing him as his temporary deputy. The rest of the staff were to follow Famas' orders. Then, without looking back, William left the monitoring room – or rather, the command center.
"Deputy Chief Famas, should we delete the record?"
The young male employee hesitated for several seconds but eventually nodded.
"Delete the record."
