I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

"put an end to!"

clang!

A slightly different penitent cross sword blocked Carly's thrusting blade. Song Ya's wrist twisted visibly, but he turned anxiously to urge Du Jue, "Leave here! Remember, resurrect everyone for me."

"Damn it! What the hell are you doing here, coming here to cause trouble?!"

Don't panic! What if this guy isn't watching over things anymore, and those people are arm in arm with the monster again?!

Tear it apart!

Fishman, surrounded by the other EGO employees, made a surprise attack and even managed to suppress Carly, who was hampered by bandages.

Before Du Jue could even ask, his face full of disbelief, Yu Wen preemptively spoke up: "Right now, let's focus on dealing with this City Star, but Chairman! You'll have to give me an explanation for killing my colleague!"

Du Jue immediately rolled on the ground in pain, only then realizing that these guys were all wrapped in his bandages. Despite the excruciating pain, he discovered that even with different perspectives, these people could still become his supporters.

He immediately turned to the civilian staff who had drawn their guns and warned them: "Everyone, be on high alert! If anyone with bandages gets close, break their legs! They're all infected!"

Seeing that they actually did as instructed, Du Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that people don't need to be of one mind; they only need a series of short-term and temporary common goals to bear the fruit of understanding.

Boom!

Carly, kneeling on the ground, murmured to herself. Her dark red armor was already battered and bruised, yet it still managed to block Yuwen's sword aimed at her heart. "I... heard its voice."

Upon hearing these inexplicable words, Yu Wen immediately gave the order, "While we're still unharmed, quickly destroy this City Star!"

As Du Jue lay on the ground, the pain subsided. He looked up and saw Carly reaching her hand into the huge wound in her abdomen, then slowly pulling out the hilt of a white bone sword.

Hey!

This is the opponent's own awakened EGO, and it will only be more powerful than the EGO weapons from before.

I have no confidence that I can be distracted in this situation and protect others.

"Retreat! Don't waste time!"

Even though Yu Wen was very confused and wanted to resist, the bandages exerted an almost irresistible force. They were the medium that had taken her place in suffering, and she could not refuse them until they were repaid.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The increasingly chilling blood mist spread out, immediately turning the crowd's discontented resistance into a proactive escape.

After quickly escaping the ranch with his men, Du Jue was so exhausted from the torment he had endured that he lost his self-expression and was about to fall backward when Song Ya caught him.

Du Jue forced himself to use the pneumatic syringe despite his weakness, then tossed it to Song Ya, saying, "One shot per person at most, don't waste them!"

Only after running a certain distance and not seeing Carly chasing after them did Du Jue breathe a sigh of relief and let everyone stop.

While Yu Wen was bandaging her wound to stop the bleeding, she frowned when she saw the smart cart being pushed by several people. "What are you collecting heads for? By the way, what are you all doing here? Why are you all following the guild leader?"

Song Ya, wiping the bloodstains from his hands, immediately offered an explanation, which made Yu Wen look at Du Jue with suspicion.

"But even if someone can be resurrected, you're not really going to carry this burden all the way, are you? This place is full of unknown disasters right now. Why don't you put them in the smart baby lockers on Charity Street for now?"

He should avoid rubbing his cheeks vigorously, as each time he used self-expression, he would enter a state of post-coital bliss, losing all motivation for anything.

"Guild Master! Why didn't you just kill the Crimson Mist in one fell swoop?!"

Yu Wen frowned and stepped forward, "Also, why did you only protect some of the association's cleanup crew? What do you mean by 'infected'?!"

"Even if you are the president, I must still be responsible for my staff!"

Hearing this, the nearby employees also came over, but given Du Jue's miraculous bandage support, they did not draw their swords against him, but stared at Du Jue in confusion.

Song Ya stepped forward to return the pneumatic syringe, hesitated for a moment, then stood next to Du Jue and asked in a low voice, "Chief, these World Wing guys haven't been infected either, have they?"

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, with only a few clerical staff distributing bread that had just been pulled out of the ham.

Du Jue was at his wits' end dealing with this group of employees who couldn't understand him at all, and racked his brains to come up with a set of excuses.

"This place has been invaded by suburban monsters. Those guys will distort your perception, making you think they are your acquaintances, when in reality they are bloodthirsty monsters!"

Sweating profusely, Du Jue couldn't help but make gestures to strengthen his persuasiveness.

"Didn't you guys just notice some guys attacking their own people? Don't tell me you just thought they were flirting!"

Seeing that many people wanted to ask, Du Jue immediately shouted, "Listen to me! I know this is hard to understand, but I have a friend at K Company, and I am a master of cybernetic modification. As long as you have a brain, you can be resurrected."

"Personality chip, you know? It's the kind where they rip your brain out!"

Everyone quickly understood what Du Jue was saying, but they still had doubts.

The male employee next to Yu Wen immediately stepped out of the crowd. "But I clearly remember that he was someone I spent every day with. How could we possibly tell who the monster was?"

"And even if what you say is correct, President, if I may be so bold, can you really bring yourself to lay a hand on a former friend without any mercy? If it's just a matter of opposing sides, then we, as the ones who clean up the mess, can accept it without hesitation, but... what if what you're saying is a lie?"

"Very good! You've hit the nail on the head!"

Du Bu calmly pulled out a half-finger-wide piece of workshop wiring. "Now everyone has to wear a bow around their neck to show that we are one of us. I will decide the specifics."

Du Jue immediately told Song Ya to take several clerical staff to distribute the cables, since he had plenty of them anyway. "I have to warn you, those monsters are not weak. Even if you, Yu Wen, are caught off guard, you will be seriously injured."

Judging from the giant shelled insect that was just split open, Du Jue believes that these test derivatives have also become stronger due to the reduced suppression power of the headquarters.

Although the people who received the binding wire still had doubts, they did as instructed.

"So what do we do now? Go back to the ranch to collect the bodies of our fellow association members? Perhaps the Crimson Mist has already left."

Yu Wen looked on in surprise as Du Jue precisely smashed the two people in the back alley.

After comforting the office worker who thought he had just been harassed by the back alley butcher, and refusing to hear Yu Wen's questions, he began to think about his next plan.

To save his own life and prevent headquarters from being blown to bits, he had to resolve this crisis, but the most important thing now was intelligence, not wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

"Yu Wen, do you remember a rough map of the city?"

Once Du Jue realized what was happening, he immediately questioned these confused individuals, and unexpectedly, he gained some valuable insights.

Looking at the simple map on the floor tiles, Du's initial shock was quickly followed by ecstasy. Wasn't this the structural diagram of the headquarters?!

"Next, let's go to the conference room!"

We must first find a way to contact Angela. With an intelligence advantage, we can then eliminate the core suppression and tests one by one.

Even though everyone was confused about the current situation, at least they had a goal to move forward with.

“If we really go to Nest A, we’ll have to travel a very long way. And have you forgotten, Master, that all the passages between Nests have been taken over by Abnormalities?”

Song Ya looked around and, finding no one paying attention, took out two bottles of milk from his pocket.

These guys remember very well the importance of preventing the discovery of anomalous entities.

"Why not just connect it? Is it really that far?"

I climbed up to the coffee shop without any suspicion, and after looking around, I realized that the place had actually become many times larger. It would take forever to walk there.

Looking around, the derivatives of different trials were fighting each other, and Du Jue could even see the faint, bloody mist in the west.

Hey!

I almost forgot, the power of the anomaly is probably far greater than usual.

Song Ya handed a bottle of milk to Du Jue. "I scouted the area before I came. The leaders and those anomalies can even transform several city blocks into their own unique territories. It's impossible to sneak through."

When did you get this thing?

Just as Du Jue was about to ask further about the territory, his attention was drawn to the milk in his hand. It wasn't contaminated with any blood or anything like that. "By the way, you really like milk that much?"

Song Ya shrugged. "It's a habit I had from before. Back then, I would just get off work and want to have dinner, and I would only have drunk half a bottle of milk before my boss called me back to work overtime. I was busy until the early hours of the morning before I was allowed to leave."

"After leaving the company, my mind went blank. I subconsciously walked back to the restaurant, but it was obvious that no one would hold the table for me. At that moment, I felt like... like an outsider who was detached from the world."

"It's like the company; working overtime and this dining table have absolutely nothing to do with me, even though I just came into contact with them."

Du Jue, who was listening nearby, raised his eyebrows. During this time, he did not forget to instruct Yu Wen to behead several monsters that approached. If they were someone he knew, he would put their head in the freezer. Even so, some people still wanted to capture the monsters alive and take them with them.

Although the refrigerated truck is a large target and will delay its journey, it can effectively reassure these doubtful employees.

Reluctantly agreeing to the demand to capture her alive, Du Jue turned around and continued Song Ya's words, "So you had regrets back then, which is why you developed a special feeling for milk?"

"No, that's not it. The waitress is my classmate. She specially put my food and half a bottle of milk in the refrigerator."

Song Ya smiled easily as she finished speaking, "I think that if everyone expresses a little kindness, the city might become a better place."

This outcome was unexpected, and Du Jue laughed along with Song Ya, "Sounds pretty good, there shouldn't be any of her heads in the carriage, right?"

"No, later the Smog War broke out, and the catering business couldn't be run there, so she became a mercenary. We haven't been in touch for a long time now."

Du Jue couldn't understand. "You mean a waiter turned mercenary?"

"Yes, the last time we contacted each other was when I heard her say she was going to ask for her unpaid wages. I was broke at the time and couldn't help her. I wish she could have waited until I joined Company L."

At this point, Du Jue immediately stopped the conversation, as he didn't want to end up talking about acquaintances again.

"What do you think is the best way for us to get to the meeting room quickly?"

"That's the big lake, of course. It connects the entire city, you see."

Song Ya pointed to the wide river ahead, "However, the great lake can rob people of their minds; once they fall into it, they become obsessed with it."

Yu Wen also stepped forward to remind her, "President, it's better to wear a mask when you're near the lake."

Standing on the metal riverbank, Du Jue was dumbfounded. What he was looking at was clearly liquid endorphins! And the material under his feet was exactly the same as the circulation system pipes used by headquarters!

227

Chapter 227 Copying.

"So, are there any boats here for us to ride?"

After accepting that the endorphin conduit had become a river running through headquarters, Du Jue was immediately at a loss, really not knowing how to do this thing.

Immediately, a clerk with braided hair spoke up, "There's a shipyard nearby, but I'm not sure if it's been captured. After all, you said, manager, that many of the people here are monsters in disguise."

"Where is this place? Take us there quickly!"

Potato Shipyard.

"Factory manager, are you serious? You want to use mashed potatoes as the hull adhesive?"

Looking hesitantly at the freshly cooked mashed potatoes in the bucket, Fu Feng sighed and fanned the steam in front of him.

The remaining boatmen and sailors carried all the leftover mashed potatoes to the side of the ship, and then immediately squatted down on the shore to drink their enkephalins.

A strange and peaceful classical music flowed from above, captivating those who came into contact with the river.

Ilya checked her memo and immediately raised her head confidently upon hearing this. "Fufeng Shipwright, you need to be as confident as me in trying new things. It's not good to always be so listless. Besides, I'll mix it with fish glue."

dong dong dong.

The knocking immediately drew everyone's attention.

Ilya quickly put away the memo, gestured for silence to the others, and patiently waited for the things outside to leave on their own.

"Damn it! The door's locked again, open it!"

Immediately, the dented iron door was violently struck from the outside, and the deformation of the metal door panel was visible to the naked eye.

In a panic, Ilya immediately waved her hand to organize her men to prepare for defense, "Quick! Everyone, fight from the hull, prioritize your own safety."

"Fufeng, quickly load the javelin throwers that haven't been loaded onto the ship! They might just end up like that clone again!"

Before Ilya could finish speaking, the shipyard gates suddenly burst open.

Rupert, holding a blood-red short-handled axe, glanced around the shipyard, then immediately retreated behind a wall and reported to Ilya by the roadside.

"That's right, factory manager! Those guys were taking over our territory. Luckily, we listened to you and didn't split up, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to tell who was who!"

Upon hearing this, Ilya quickly jotted down the new information in her memo and nodded to the other boatmen. "It seems that this phenomenon of clones only occurs on the shores of the Great Lake. Perhaps we should abandon our factory for the time being."

This statement immediately drew objections from many people. "But at least this place is safe. There are too many weirdos and lunatics in other places. Haven't you heard that there's a murderous City Star nearby?"

"Hmm, those dangerous elements don't seem likely to get too close to the lake. Let me think about the pros and cons."

Ilya quickly raised her head and revealed a confident smile, "Then let's begin the battle to reclaim it!"

"However, before that, please use the mud here to draw three lines on your faces to distinguish friend from foe."
