Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration

Chapter 357: The Revival of the Dead

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A death signal came from a chip that represented the life signs of a miner. This meant that a new corpse had appeared in the company.

The insider who was napping beside the testing machine immediately perked up and looked at the miner’s various information excitedly.

This was a good thing that could increase his performance. Every corpse sent to the Posthumous Reemployment Center could increase his salary for this month. It was no wonder he worked so hard.

“Let me see… Woah, I’ve already reached the U9 level. If 1 work harder, I might be able to become a contract employee. It’s a pity that I died so early. I still worked too little overtime…”

The employee shook his head. Just as he was about to register the death records and add a new workforce to the Posthumous Reemployment Center, he saw the chip that was supposed to be dead suddenly show signs of activity.

The employee was stunned and immediately rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen them wrongly.

And that was indeed the case. When he looked at the detector again, the active signal of the misinformation disappeared without a trace. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.

“…Looks like I’ve been working overtime too much recently. I’m hallucinating.” The employee laughed self-deprecatingly and continued to register the death record.

It wasn’t until all the information was sent back to the Posthumous Reemployment Center that the employee lay back in his chair and soon fell asleep.

During this period of time, he had indeed worked overtime until late at night every day. The company would not give him overtime pay because he owed it to the company.

However, he had no qualms about this because before he worked overtime, he borrowed a seven-day vacation from the company. In order to make up for the debt he owed during this period, he now needed to work overtime for the company for another 49 days.

Although the number was huge, he felt that it was much better than the low-level laborers. At least for now, he could still take a nap here, but the laborers could only work non-stop. They could not even rest after death.

After the death record was sent back to the Posthumous Reemployment Center, the staff there also began to check the record.

In a huge pit, a dead foreman who was commanding a pile of corpses received this message. Then, he cursed, “Why are so few people dead after so long? There’s not enough labor! When the time comes, the benefits that affect the company will be deducted from us. Why are those people at the bottom always so lazy? Can they learn from us and work overtime more?”

Another slightly older dead foreman advised him to cool off and get the job done:

“Alright, even if we don’t have enough manpower, we still have to continue working. The manager isn’t willing to spend money to buy machines. He’s afraid that it won’t look good on the company’s accounts and affect his reputation at the headquarters. At the very least, he didn’t let us do it personally. Instead, he used the dead as manpower. It’s not bad.”

“…Forget it. This time, I’m just angry that those low-level people didn’t work hard and instead made us be punished. They’re really too lazy.”

After venting, the dead foreman looked at the bottomless huge pit, and there were more similar pits around it.

“Speaking of which, you’ve been working here longer than 1 have, haven’t you? Do you know what these big holes are for?”

When the old employee heard this, he quickly put on an experienced expression, as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time.

“Don’t spread it around. The previous employee told me this too. It’s a secret passed down from generation to generation by us dead foreman…”

“Don’t keep me in suspense. Just say it.”

The old employee smiled mysteriously and told him not to be anxious. Instead, he started with the company’s name.

“Do you know why our superiors gave the company such a name? A servant doesn’t sound like a name that a big company like the company should have.” “It’s said that a long, long time ago, our company was just a small company in this galaxy. Although it was also named megacorp, it was only an insignificant member of hundreds of interstellar civilizations. Even when we opened a branch, we had to beg others shamelessly. We had to give many gifts to barely open it.”

“But one day, a terrifying foreign civilization came here. The entire galaxy combined was no match for them, and our company was the first to surrender…”

Upon hearing this, the slightly younger dead foreman understood and blurted out, “Isn’t this speculation…”

However, the elderly dead foreman immediately had a serious expression. He also understood something and immediately covered his mouth. Then, he slapped himself hard and repented with an ashamed expression, “1 volunteered to work overtime for the company for a year to reflect on my rude words this time. I was born a member of the company, and 1 died a corpse of the company…”

Only then did the expression of the older dead foreman soften slightly. After he finished repenting, he warned, “How old are you to not pay attention to these things? Don’t spill blood on me.”

Seeing the young dead foreman nod obediently, he continued the story.

“In short, that civilization wiped out all the resisters. Even the lost empire was defeated by them. Only our company was smart enough to adapt to the situation. We escaped because we were sincere and successfully became the last survivor of this galaxy.”

“Our company has sworn allegiance to this civilization and is willing to serve them. We will do our best to satisfy all their needs. These pits are the mission that that civilization gave our company.”

“So what’s in these pits is…” At this moment, the young dead foreman’s curiosity had been pulled to the limit.

The older dead foreman smiled and said straightforwardly, “1 don’t know either.”

“You…”

Seeing that the other party was about to get angry, he quickly continued, “Don’t be anxious.”

“How can miscellaneous staff like us know about such confidential matters? I only have some groundless news here. Let’s just treat it as a story.”

As he spoke, the old foreman approached the other party and whispered in his ear, “It’s said that under these pits is the egg of a huge beast! Our job is actually to feed it!”

This incredible answer made the young foreman’s eyes widen as he looked at his colleague in disbelief.

The old foreman shrugged. “It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? Because I don’t believe it either. The ground we’re stepping on is actually the shell of a giant beast. It’s impossible just thinking about it.”

After saying that, he patted the young foreman’s shoulder and sighed. “So don’t think about such nonsense. Hurry up and go to work. Those dead people won’t be efficient if they don’t smoke a few times.”

Only then did the young foreman come back to his senses and follow the other party.

However, at this moment, he turned back with every step he took. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the pit because he felt that the other party was not making groundless guesses.

After they left the pit area, a corpse who was working hard to move a bag of organic materials suddenly stopped what he was doing. When he looked up, it was the miner who had suddenly died near Li Wenyuan’s advanced fleet!

He had listened to the conversation between the two dead foremen. Perhaps these people would never have thought that there was a living person mixed in with the corpses.

A stream of data flashed across his eyes, and he established a connection with his companions again.

[Hello, our artificial forms. I’m glad you’re safe. What’s the matter?]

“I’ve obtained some information here. I don’t know if it’s true, but I think it’s enough for reference.”

As he spoke, the story told by the old dead foreman was transmitted in the blink of an eye.

The other party replied after a while.

[It doesn’t matter. Whether it’s true or not, it’s still information, and information can always bring news.]

[Your mission is complete. Are you coming back? We’ll send a ship to pick you up. Don’t worry, no one will condemn you. You’re not a deserter on the battlefield, but a hero who infiltrated back.]

This sentence made the miner who had returned from the dead fall silent for a long time. After that, he made up his mind and said,

“…Just let me continue. This is the first time I’ve tried to resist. I want to… do better.”

Laughter seemed to come from the other side of the connection, but it wasn’t mockery. It was happy laughter.

[You’re great, our artificial forms. It looks like you’ve successfully understood our path. This is something to celebrate.]

[Then go ahead and do it. There’s no need to be afraid or worry because we’re always with you.]

[This is us. Each of us is a great warrior.]

“…” After disconnecting the call, the miner was still in a daze, as if everything was a dream.

Ever since he came back from the dead, he had become a member of a group called Assimilation Fighters. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

At first, he was very panicked, but under the education of these gentle artificial people, he finally became a powerful artificial form warrior.

He had also volunteered to participate in this infiltration operation. Before this, he had never realized that what he had encountered was unfair. After this, he hoped that this galaxy would no longer be like this.

Although his dream was small, he wanted to try to realize it after gaining strength. He was not great in the past, but under the influence of a group of like-minded companions, he felt that he should do something.

Hence, his gaze became firm again, and his figure gradually disappeared into the pit.

Not long after, Li Wenyuan received a report from the Assimilation Fighters.

He sent the Assimilation Fighters to the galaxy two million light-years away to carry out the exploration in his place.

His focus was on exploring the construction site of the Pillar of Creation and collecting materials for the construction of a large-scale Curtain project.

The news brought by the Assimilation Fighters surprised him. He originally thought that this trip would only contain information about human ruins, but he did not expect to discover unexpected clues.

“An extremely terrifying civilization once came there? But it doesn’t seem to be referring to humans. Could it be a scribe?”

He was considering the possibility of this matter, but at this moment, Queen Presolin seemed to sense something as she wandered uneasily in her ‘Hatchery’ Galaxy.

This was because she seemed to have sensed the aura of the pursuer that had only been passed down by word of mouth in their memories..
