[Zone A has no employees. If Zone A cannot acquire new employees within fifteen minutes, Zone A will be dissolved. Upon dissolution, the expedition effects will be revoked. Since Zone A’s team is dissolving due to reasons other than insufficient points, the team’s assets can be absorbed.]
[Teams needing to absorb assets can choose to bid with points or employees. Assets include expedition levels, internal governance items, unallocated points in the boss’s hands, etc.]
Fifteen minutes.
Wen Xishu didn’t expect there would be a buffer time. This means there’s one last chance for a final showdown.
This showdown is happening in the last fifteen minutes.
By this time, all employees have arrived one after another.
Wen Xishu’s current team size: 73 people.
people, though they’ve all experienced overtime, it’s clear that those who have used stimulants appear to be in a state as though they had been having continuous sex for a month after the effects of the stimulants wore off.
"It seems he’s planning a last-minute counterattack. Those who’ve joined us can return before six in the morning."
"Right now, Yun Xinghe still has sixty points in hand... At this point, Yun Xinghe might do anything to keep those points, don’t you think?"
Tang Zhe analyzed.
Zone D found it interesting at this moment as well.
Lorenzo said:
"This is getting interesting. Yun Xinghe is like an old man without descendants. Whoever treats him well can inherit his legacy."
"D04!"
A tall man, somewhat Southeast Asian in appearance, D04 immediately raised his hand and said:
"You go. I order you to infiltrate Yun Xinghe’s company as my undercover agent. But not now. I need to see how Zone C responds."
D04 had no hesitation:
"Yes, Sir! I will carry out the officer’s orders."
Lorenzo had to admit that the banner came at just the right time, just in time.
Sacrificing one employee could allow Zone A to exist. If Zone A exists, Wen Xishu’s team will continue to suffer from expedition effects.
Moreover, this sacrifice isn’t a real sacrifice.
This employee, once brainwashed and manipulated by himself, will be absolutely loyal, and he sees himself as the burning hot red sun in the employee’s mind.
At this time, Zone A also issued a declaration:
[Zone A declares to Zone C: In the world of making money, it’s all about the money. I will give you points; just send one person, as long as one person comes, the points in my hand are yours.]
These words are indeed enticing. Many began to have second thoughts again.
After all, many followed Yun Xinghe to obtain points.
Having Yun Xinghe hand over points unconditionally, they themselves didn’t believe it. After all, Yun Xinghe reasonably pocketed those points when they left.
But now that there’s a reason for Yun Xinghe to give away points, their intentions stirred once again.
Clark Kent said:
"Those who’ve gone must think clearly. Going to Zone A now means making enemies with Zone C. What is Zone A’s goal? You know it very well. Can Yun Xinghe’s points really end up in your own hands?"
"Once you go to Zone A, you’re tacitly agreeing to be enemies with dozens of people in Zone C because your actions will cause the people in Zone C to die."
Many people desired Yun Xinghe’s points in their hearts, but they also had to consider whether it would seem too capricious.
Keep in mind, they fled to Zone C, and Wen Xishu took them in. But now, to return to Zone A for points, would be ungrateful.
Going back to Zone A would mean the expedition effects from Zone A would continue to be effective.
Tang Zhe and Li Weiwei both looked at Wen Xishu.
They wanted to know how Wen Xishu planned to defuse the crisis.
Wen Xishu had a small knife in his hand, engraved with a scorpion motif.
He toyed with the knife, his gaze slightly unfocused, as if absorbed in deep thought.
Wen Xishu was searching for textual information. The Scorpion Knife recorded all changes in text; he was looking for descriptions of the scores from the past six days.
He discovered that Yun Xinghe’s scores for purchasing internal governance items were never high. It seems like Yun Xinghe was buying cheap but large quantities of stimulants.
And when all those who were in Zone A entered Zone C, Wen Xishu checked each person’s Life Value.
The dr value was not visible, which was the same for him.
But even just observing hp values, you can see many things.
Expedition costs were fixed, internal governance costs, and population maintenance costs could all be deduced.
Then based on each hp point equating to 0.5 additional points, Wen Xishu discovered something bizarre.
"It doesn’t add up. The hp values of Zone A’s employees do not match their scores. Their hp is much higher than I expected... High Life Value but low dr value; it doesn’t make sense."
Wen Xishu noticed something amiss.
Though those from Zone A who ran to Zone C could be said to be very injured, their Life Value was significantly higher than it should be.
Combining this with Yun Xinghe’s insane overtime strategy, Wen Xishu quickly had a grasp of the situation.
It was then that Wen Xishu began to address the situation in Zone A.
First, he posed a viewpoint:
"You came to me, and I accepted you, but I only accept you once. Those going to Zone A will not have another chance to return to Zone C. You can choose to deceive and earn points, then go to Zone D, but for Zone D, Tang Zhe, you tell them."
Tang Zhe said:
"Everyone in Zone D is Lorenzo’s puppet, brainwashed by Lorenzo. In other words, if you go to Zone D, not even your will would be your own."
"Furthermore, the game is only on the seventh day."
"Do you think a Zone A team with just a few employees can be the final winner?"
