Chapter 335: To Catch a Big Fish
After the blonde man, Fisher, finished speaking at the beginning, it was more of the two blonde women’s accusations of Blackwatch Corporation’s crimes. In their description, Blackwatch Corporation had violated the rights of the earth like a heinous criminal.
Although it did not sound quite right to Wynn, he was at their mercy now, so he simply listened and smiled sympathetically. “If my guess is right, the two ladies should be members of the ‘VHEMT’ organization or the ‘Church of Euthanasia’, right?”
“Does Mr. Wynn know of VHEMT too?”
One of the blonde woman’s eyes lit up. “Yes, we’re indeed members of the ‘Voluntary Human Extinction Movement’ organization. Do you want to join us?”
Wynn had only mentioned it casually. He never expected them to be members. He instantly felt awkward, not knowing what to say.
The so-called “Voluntary Human Extinction Organization” was a radical organization founded by a teacher named Knight in North America in 1991. The organizational philosophy was: human beings should exterminate themselves because extinction could prevent environmental degradation and human extinction was also the only way to save the earth and the natural environment.
“Don’t you agree? The world’s population growth rate has far exceeded the earth’s ability to bear it. For the earth’s biosphere, the best thing is that humans voluntarily stop reproducing. After all, humans and the earth’s biosphere are incompatible.”
The blonde woman loudly promoted the organization’s philosophy. “There are tens of thousands of species on Earth that are threatened by humans. These species are constantly being squeezed out of their living s.p.a.ce by humanity. Therefore, only the extinction of humans can save these lives!”
“But we’re different from the ‘Church of Euthanasia’. We don’t advocate killing each other to reduce the population. The most fundamental concept of our Voluntary Human Extinction Organization is that humans should stop reproducing. After all, the essence of reproduction is the abuse of children.”
The other woman explained, “Although this is a form of altruism, stopping reproduction can also give humans an idyllic life like in the Garden of Eden. We don’t have to work for our children anymore and we don’t have to worry about what happens after us. When everyone stops reproduction, after a hundred years, the last remaining humans will also be proud of our achievement, and humans will never suffer from abortion, war or hunger...”
“Then I’m sorry, I already have a son...”
Wynn forced a smile. “So, I’ve already gone against the membership requirement of your organization.”
“Not at all!”
The blonde woman shook her head and continued to exhort. “The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement is a loose organization. Anyone who agrees with our thinking is a member of this organization. As long as you agree with us, then you’re a member! And you can also let your son agree with us!”
“I’m willing to head back and try...”
Wynn said awkwardly.
“Okay, that’s enough of that.”
Seeing that they were getting off track, Fisher interrupted them both. “Mr. Wynn, what have you decided?”
“Blackwatch is by no means easy to deal with.”
Wynn could only speak haltingly. “I have to say that your views touched me. As a Catholic, I don’t like the company’s behavior and Chen Chen even publicly declared on the TED platform that humans can be equal to G.o.d. This is a blasphemy against G.o.d. If you haven’t come to me this time, I’d have also intended to resign from the position of general manager of the Swiss branch...”
“No need for that!”
Fisher and the two blonde women looked at each other and their eyes lit up. “Mr. Wynn, if you continue to work in the Swiss branch and find ways to infiltrate the core of this company, this will help us even more!”
“That is impossible!”
Wynn’s expression changed drastically. “In that case, I’ll encounter great danger because Blackwatch isn’t as harmless and benevolent as they look on the surface. They are the largest private military contractor in Africa. If they want, they can even send a.s.sa.s.sins to kill off anyone, including me!”
“Then have you thought about the environment and nature? Have you thought about your beliefs?”
Seeing that Wynn was shrinking back, one of the blonde women suddenly said in an awe-inspiring manner, “For the natural environment of the earth, for your faith, what does this danger matter? There are those of us who have already paid so much to overthrow this evil company. Why are you hesitating?”
Another blonde woman also earnestly persuaded, “We’ve abandoned our mobile phones, iPads, and all electronic products. We’re even willing to abandon modern cities and live in the mountains and forests. The reason for this is that we have a common wish — to return nature to the earth!”
“It’s a pity that we can’t help you here.”
Fisher also sighed. “Your son George lives in the canton of Bern, right? Our family happens to be a shareholder of your son’s company. Just today, I’ve arranged for him to go to North America on a business trip so that Blackwatch Corporation wouldn’t notice anything...”
“You guys!”
Wynn’s expression changed completely after hearing this and he could no longer remain calm. “What did you do to my son?”
“He’s fine.”
Fisher shook his head with a pitying look. “As long as you do what we say, I can protect your son from any danger. Of course, if you’re unwilling to cooperate, the moment you divulge any information about us is the moment you’ll receive your son’s death notice.”
“I see, I’ll do what you said...”
Seeing this, Wynn sighed and finally gave in.
“Very good Mr. Wynn, you made a smart choice.”
Fisher seemed to have expected this. Now, he just smiled faintly and at the same time took out a note and handed it to Wynn. “This is your task...”
Wynn took the note in bewilderment. When he saw the dense rows of letters on the note, his expression suddenly shifted. “You guys are going to do this, but this will...”
“This is the only way we’ll have a chance to eliminate Blackwatch!”
Fisher stretched out his hand and said coercively, “Mr. Wynn, we look forward to working with you!”
At this point, Wynn finally shook hands with Fischer unwillingly and said in a soft voice, “I hope you can let my son go after I do this.”
“Don’t worry, we’re not a terrorist organization. As long as you fulfill our requirements, we’ll do what we promised.”
Fisher nodded and agreed at once.
Seeing this, Wynn finally stopped talking. He shot a deep look at the three of them, then turned and walked out of the wooden hut.
At this point, Wynn was taken away by some people outside. After a while, several young people came in, one of whom nodded toward Fisher. “Boss, we’ve also invited Samuel over.”
“What did Samuel say, would he like to cooperate with us?”
Fisher raised his head and asked.
“He asked to see his daughter first.”
“Then, let Annie meet her father. After all, he has such a ‘good’ daughter...”
When he was talking about this, Fisher could not help but break into a suggestive sneer.
...
“Sir G.o.dfather, we’ve gotten hold of the location of the opponent’s three secret strongholds in Switzerland.”
While Fisher continued to capture the Swiss branch of the company, in the African Continent, Little X was also reporting quickly, “These people haven’t found the Black Knights nor are they aware of the existence of the G.o.d chip. Should we spring the trap now?”
“Not for now.”
Chen Chen waved his hand. “Our opponent cannot penetrate the Eco Science City and will inevitably attack other weak points. The Swiss branch is one of them. If it were not for the particular nature of the Mainland, it may be possible for an accident to occur at the head office in Shangdu or even with my parents.”
“Please rest a.s.sured, your parents are absolutely fine,” Little X said.
Chen Chen nodded and smiled icily. “But I didn’t expect that these extremist environmental protection organizations would also join the fray. The Voluntary Human Extinction Organization? But this group of people was exposed so easily. Is that because we’re too pervasive or they are too confident?”
“This must be human nature. After all, who would’ve thought that something beyond common knowledge like the G.o.d chip would exist in the world?”
Little X chuckled lightly.
“In this case, we don’t have to rush to spring the trap. After all, this is just a bunch of small fry. For us presently, the Swiss branch is also something dispensable. Even if that company goes bankrupt tomorrow, I won’t feel an ounce of distress.”
Chen Chen said, “Furthermore, what their group of people is doing now is just a test for us. Behind this group of people, there must lurk the shadows of those European consortia and even the tacit approval of the European government...”
“So, we have to cast a long line to catch a big fish?”
“That’s right.”
Chen Chen thought for a while and could not help but laugh coldly. “And the other party doesn’t seem to be totally ignorant. Samuel, for instance, poses quite a large problem.”
“I’ll continue to monitor the situation,” Little X replied.
Chen Chen nodded. “After this incident, we should be able to get a lot of experimental subjects. In this case, let’s conduct a Gantz experiment.”
“Gantz experiment?”
Little X was a little unclear on Chen Chen’s meaning.
“We’ve purchased a batch of metal germanium. First, we’ll use this batch of metal germanium to make a small Gantz server and then set up an experiment in a hidden place.”
“Are you looking for an uninhabited region to test the memetic effect?”
Little X reacted immediately. She said in surprise, “But where should we go to find such a place?”
“Is it not simple enough to find an island in the Atlantic Ocean?”
Chen Chen asked in return.
“Alright, I got it!”
Little X replied, “I’ll let the Black Knights pay close attention to every movement made by all our targets.”
...
Samuel returned home in a daze.
As soon as he opened the door, a chilly gust wafted out from the room. It was the cold air from the central air conditioner.
However, in the room, there was no longer that crisp and cheerful, lark-like voice to greet him...
Samuel was using all his strength to keep calm but if one looked closely, one would notice that there were tear marks on his face and his mouth was also closed tightly as if he was gnashing his teeth in secret.
It was not until the door was completely closed that Samuel took a deep breath and fell to the ground in anguish.
“Annie, my daughter...”
Samuel kept sobbing and he began to viciously punch the ground with his fists, only stopping when his fists were mangled and bleeding.
Just today, he received a text message from his daughter after he got off work, asking him to go to their favorite Chinese noodle restaurant.
At first, Samuel did not realize anything was wrong. He just went to the restaurant as usual, but before he entered, he was stopped by several men in black.
Then, he was taken to a forest in the Alps.
There, he saw his daughter who had been kidnapped beforehand.
These kidnappers claimed to be members of the Environmental Protection a.s.sociation and their purpose was to overthrow the Blackwatch Corporation and the organization behind this company — G.o.d’s Forbidden Zone.
Of course, these people did not know that Samuel was a member of the G.o.d’s Forbidden Zone organization. The reason for this was that he had turned down Chen Chen’s invitation as early as a year ago to go to Africa and was willing to stay away from the core and become a member on the margins in Switzerland.
Nonetheless, because of this, these people thought that he was just like Wynn, employees who were merely retained from the former company.
Secretly, Samuel was a little grateful. He was grateful that he did not tell his daughter too much, otherwise, the fact that he was a member of G.o.d’s Forbidden Zone would not be concealed from this group of people. When the time came, if they forced him to divulge more about the things going on behind the scenes, it would cause the G.o.d chip behind his neck to detonate.
At that time, it would not matter if he died. He was just afraid that his daughter would also be attacked by these evil people.
However, by now, because of the existence of the G.o.d chip, everything he said before should have been overheard by Blackwatch, right?
Would it be a piece of cake for Blackwatch Corporation to rescue his daughter?
Thinking of this, Samuel had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but then this glimmer of hope turned into a deeper worry — what if the rescue operation failed? Would his daughter die anyway?
Just when he was caught up in these muddled anxieties, in the dimly lit room, several ripples that seemed like currents of water suddenly emerged in the air in front of him.
Samuel was leaning against the door at this time with tears in his eyes. When he saw the bulging ripples in the air, he first rubbed his eyes, then his eyes widened into large rounds and his mouth opened suddenly.
This was because, in his vision, the ripples in front of him turned crystal clear in an instant, and at the same time a blue electric light flared up. After the flare, a man with Asian features in black tights appeared in front of him!
This man had a well-proportioned figure and did not seem to have overly-developed muscles, but there was a special symmetrical beauty to his body, just like those swimmers who often swim. The muscles had unique structural characteristics, whose extraordinary quality was evident at a glance.
At this time, the Asian man did not speak, but instead held a silver-white Rubik’s Cube. He pressed a few b.u.t.tons on the Rubik’s Cube and then placed the Rubik’s Cube on the ground.
In the next moment, Samuel only saw a flash of light coming from the Rubik’s Cube and this Rubik’s Cube emitted a projection of light and shadow that he had never seen before!
After the flash of light and shadow, Samuel was flabbergasted to find that in front of the Asian man, a translucent figure had appeared out of thin air.
Samuel was well-acquainted with the face of that figure. He subconsciously quivered all over and then he clambered up clumsily and exclaimed, “Your Excellency Chen Chen, is it really you? Are you here?”
Upon seeing Samuel’s amusingly fl.u.s.tered expression, Chen Chen could not help but crack a small grin on the corner of his mouth. “Samuel, long time no see...”
