The Witch's Taste

Chapter 346 Continue to provoke
Around ten o'clock at night.

In the past, after dark in the slums, it was almost impossible to see anyone on the streets except drunks and homeless people.

After all, there is no security force here. If you encounter a robber when it is dark, you can only meet the brave in a narrow road. Therefore, everyone locks the door early after dinner and does not dare to stay outside too much.

However, there was a group of uninvited guests on the streets tonight.

Their clothes were ragged, their steps were shambling, their expressions were haggard, and their appearance was haggard, much like zombies commonly seen in film and television works.

They ran around the streets, breaking into houses and attacking passers-by.Poor people who are injured by attacks will soon be transformed into similar zombies.

They are vulnerable to the firepower of modern weapons.

North of the city of Galapasia, roadblocks have been erected at all intersections leading to the suburbs (slum areas). The reason for the closure is that the road ahead is being repaired.

Farther away, at the entrance to the slum, a "land-based mobile fortress" was erected, with a nuclear reactor and ammunition warehouse installed inside. Its firepower could easily level the entire slum area.

Since the blockade of the intersection, nearly a thousand slum zombies have tried to storm the city, and then lost their lives in the steel storm of the land-based mobile fortress, leaving no bones left.

However, after 10-20 minutes, these corpses will stand up again intact and continue to rush blindly towards the city until they are completely torn apart by fire again.

The city government had to send out more than a dozen military trucks to pull away these strange corpses that could be infinitely resurrected one by one.

But more zombies are still pouring out of the slums, and it is obvious that some unknown plague is spreading among them.If the transmission route is not cut off as soon as possible, the huge population in the entire slum will eventually turn into walking undead.

After an emergency voting session, the city council quickly passed a special resolution to respond to the current critical situation through government-enterprise cooperation.

Although the federal government is also known as the eight giants, it is the weakest among the giants. Therefore, no matter what it wants to do, it cannot do without the chaebol.The chaebols each have their own monopoly areas, so the government usually looks for them as needed. For example, if they want to engage in real estate development, ask Bakht, if they need investment, ask Rhine, etc.

But this time things were too weird, even a biochemical crisis was caused, and the city council was in a mess, so they simply held a government-enterprise joint meeting and invited all the chaebol representatives to the video conference platform to work together and unite. stand up.

"The cadaver specimens in this incident have been tested in the biochemical laboratory and the results have been obtained." A spokesman for the city government transmitted the data to the platform. "You can take a closer look at the specific clinical data."

The chaebol representatives all pretended to click "receive data online."

In fact, the major chaebols have already obtained corpse specimens in advance through secret channels, and are now dissecting them in secret laboratories within the company!But on the surface, I still pretend to know nothing, "Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Based on the data, it seems to be some kind of plague with unknown pathogens. The transmission route has been confirmed to be mainly body fluids, and no other routes have been found yet." The government spokesperson continued, "Patients become more aggressive after the onset of acute symptoms. , and also has a certain degree of immortality.”

Although it was an online video conference, everyone was staring at the computer screen and camera in front of them, and there was no way to confirm which person they were looking at... However, the representative of the Barr Group still felt a subtle atmosphere directed at him and immediately spoke out. said,
"Based on the current clinical data, it is similar to some of our known diseases, but we still cannot confirm what the disease is before the pathogen is actually isolated. In this regard, the Barr Group is willing to cooperate with the municipal government to conduct biochemical tests , to find out the mysterious epidemic spreading in the slums as soon as possible."

It was beautifully said. "I don't know, I'm willing to cooperate", but does anyone believe it?
Apart from anything else, the miserable state of Aegelaos is still there!This time the target is changed to the Garcia sector, which is very reasonable!
In half a month, will your Barr Group launch some kind of special medicine in Galapasia specifically to prevent this disease?

Although everyone was thinking this in their hearts, on the surface they remained calm and silent.Unless there are enough interests, there is no need to break up with the Barr Group directly...

"Regarding the traceability of this aspect." A representative of the Bakht Group suddenly said, "When our drone was patrolling the power supply lines on a daily basis, it found an abandoned airdrop warehouse outside the slums, and there was a corpse inside. After the security The Bureau’s autopsy confirmed that the deceased should have died of intracranial hypertension caused by some unknown disease, and the identity of the body is not in the information database of the Garcia sector.”

Hearing this, the expressions of other chaebol representatives changed.

Although the words of the representative of the Bakht Group did not mention the "Barr Group", everyone knew that he was hinting at who was behind the scenes.

Unknown brain disease, the corpse comes from outside the star zone... Just take the genetic material data of the corpse and compare it with the citizen information database of Aegelaos, wouldn't you know?

"Ahem!" The corporate representative of the Barr Group looked very serious and quickly led the conversation. "Since it is an airdrop warehouse, the star port and the starship humans are highly suspicious. We can focus on tracing the source in this regard."

"Indeed." Representative Bakht agreed. "If it was done by a starship human, it must be severely punished."

"It must be severely punished, it must be severely punished." Other representatives also expressed their opinions.

When it comes to targeting humans on starships, the elf plutocrats have shown a high degree of consistency... Just like the two parties in the United States in Chen Ziang's previous life on Earth, no matter how much they quarrel in private, it is always right to attack Russia on the table.

"If anyone cooperates with the starship humans in private, they should be severely punished together after being found out." Representative Bakht added.

"That's right, we should jointly punish them severely." There were far fewer echoing voices this time.

Who cooperated with the starship humans to transport the pathogen of Aegelaos to the Garcia sector and airdrop it?I don’t know, but if found out, severe punishment must be imposed. This matter has been decided as a consensus among the chaebols.

"We will soon issue a stern diplomatic inquiry to the starship humanity." Now that the tone of the government-enterprise meeting has been set, the government spokesperson no longer hesitated and concluded the same stance.

The online video conference ended, and representatives of the Barr Group quickly reported the news.

When the news reached the board of directors, everyone was immediately confused: What, we are suspected of cooperating with starship humans?
This is obviously nonsense.In the Aegelaos sector, we were forced to join forces with humans to fight back because the Bakht family took action first.

Now that there is no corporate war in the Garcia sector, will we collude with the starship humans again?There is also that airdrop pod. It was obviously dropped by the starship humans on purpose to instigate internal fighting among us!

These directors are also experienced in the market, and they can quickly guess the thoughts of other chaebols.

It is impossible to say that they cannot see that this is a frame-up of the starship humans.But there is a high probability that they will pretend not to notice it, and in the process of attacking the starship humans with all their strength, the Barr Group will also be involved, and even the eight giants of the Federation will lose one head...

This is the conspiracy of the Bakht family!Taking revenge for Aegelaos's defeat!
The situation in the Garcia sector is more complicated. Bakht and Krublev are closely connected, and the faction of the noble enterprise has become unprecedentedly powerful.If you want to fight against these old-fashioned guys, you must quickly join forces with financial capital. Otherwise, the Barr Group's independent strength will not be able to resist these two aristocratic giants.

So the directors used their magical powers, and many contacted the financiers in the Rhine overnight and offered extremely generous conditions.
