198 Chapter - Compensation Shocks Everyone
Because Bai Cheng's train was closest to the mechanical door, and they were still outside the Station.
Upon seeing them, these Survivors immediately showed fear, and some were even so terrified they froze in place.
Their strength had been reset to its original state, and there were no rules binding them here, so they naturally knew they were undoubtedly lambs to the slaughter at this moment.
Bai Cheng ignored them; most of these guys were Pioneers or Valiants from other channels before the merger.
Their identities would not arouse suspicion in Bai Cheng.
Her main focus should be on those from the original Channel #2 and those from Channel #4.
These two channels were places Chen Xiao and others had been, making them the most likely to harbor the opponent's inside agents.
Seeing Liu San, Bai Cheng spoke first before he could flatter her: "How did you discover the Pioneers' betrayal?"
Liu San was startled, then immediately explained the whole story.
He hadn't expected that his suspicious action of secretly deploying employees for reconnaissance in the Rainforest Area would uncover such crucial information so early.
"When my employee died, I vaguely saw in its line of sight that those Pioneers had vacant eyes... standing motionless like zombies."
Liu San carefully recalled the scene at the time, then his eyes lit up and he added,
"Right! Before the employee was killed, I also saw Chen Xiao seemingly kill several Pioneers!"
As soon as this was said, Bai Cheng and the two others immediately exchanged glances, all realizing that something was amiss.
The fact that Chen Xiao possessed eight hundred War General-level employees was inherently suspicious. This was her initial stock; how did she manage to upgrade soldiers to the highest level without losing a single troop in the early stages when she had no War General-level employees?
If they weren't the original eight hundred, then why was her number of War General-level employees precisely this quantity, and not a thousand or two thousand?
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened: "She temporarily killed those Pioneers to enhance her strength."
"And ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ rather than saying the Pioneers betrayed us, it's more accurate to say they were all controlled by some means..."
If they speculated in this direction, then everything made sense.
Liu San, who was beside her, also reacted: "So that's how it is."
He was unaware of the animosity between Chen Xiao and Bai Cheng, so he naturally attributed this ability to Chen Xiao's talent.
Bai Cheng didn't explain.
But she clearly knew that those Pioneers were definitely not controlled at that moment, but rather there had been early signs.
Because she knew Chen Xiao's talent was similar to a substitute death ability, completely incapable of controlling others.
Was it an ability Xiao Ran stole?
Bai Cheng stopped thinking, her gaze shifting to Liu San: "Well done."
Liu San also quickly laughed: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. I was just simply trying to prepare an extra measure at the time..."
"Regardless, you did indeed lose employees because of this." With that, Bai Cheng rummaged through her backpack, pulled out an Epic Employee Card, and handed it over, "Consider it compensation."
"This, this..." Liu San was overwhelmed, "This is too precious!"
And his brothers behind him widened their eyes in astonishment, while the onlookers around them all gasped, equally surprised.
An Epic Employee Card! She just gave it away?
Everyone's gaze turned to this spot, some openly, some covertly observing.
At this moment, they realized that although they were all Pioneers, the disparity was not just in strength, but also in terrifying underlying resources!
Seeing Liu San still politely trying to refuse, Yu Nian directly took the purple card and put it into his hand.
"This is a genuine Epic-level card, many times stronger than those pseudo-Epic ones you got by relying on train mergers and enhancements!"
"Thank you, three Misses!" Liu San was so excited he almost knelt down.
He knew that if he could just find a way to obtain a heart of immortality, he could directly promote this employee to Legendary Employee!
Compared to Wang Gang's death and the loss of employees, if they developed well this time, they could truly soar!
Of course, for Bai Cheng, an Epic Employee Card was worthless; why not use it to win people over?
Her gaze swept over the crowd; no one dared to meet her eyes.
Bai Cheng said nothing, turned, and entered the train.
Soon, the lights around the train came on, steam hummed, and the vehicle slowly began to move.
The triangular curtain gradually turned to ash, and only after Bai Cheng's train completely disappeared within the Station did everyone come back to their senses.
They all turned their attention to Liu San, and some even immediately started trying to build connections.
"Brother, I heard you and Boss Bai Cheng were originally enemies. I'd like to ask, how do you get closer to a boss?"
Others also nodded like chickens pecking rice: "Yes, yes, what's the boss like, is she easy to get along with?"
"Don't worry, we definitely don't mean to be sycophants... we just want to help the boss as much as we can!"
"Right, right, absolutely not hoping for the boss's generous charity!"
"Also, I heard this boss even has Legendary Employees, no wonder she just gives away Epic Employees. Is all this true?"
Most of these guys were other titled Survivors who had just been annexed by Channel #2. After witnessing Bai Cheng's resources and generosity, they all wanted to prove themselves.
But they weren't familiar with Bai Cheng and didn't dare approach her, so they could only offer some benefits now, hoping to learn some information from Liu San.
Looking at the supplies offered by the crowd and hearing their various flattering words, Liu San felt a bit proud, but he didn't accept them.
Instead, he said seriously: "Miss Bai Cheng is very easy to get along with; the most important thing is sincerity, unlike certain individuals with impure motives..."
"Of course, and those spies hidden among you, I advise you to look out for yourselves!"
Although Liu San and his brothers enjoyed these compliments and very much wanted to accept these guys' proactive goodwill, as soon as he thought of the hidden traitors among them, Liu San left with those two sentences and also got on his train, preparing to leave.
And his brothers, at this moment, had absolute faith in all of Liu San's decisions; it was nothing but support!
Liu San also understood that if he wanted to be a qualified subordinate, he had to absolutely prevent his unintentional actions from potentially causing trouble for Bai Cheng.
For example, accepting these guys' goodwill and helping them gain presence in front of Bai Cheng would undoubtedly cause annoyance.
Do less, make no mistakes!
As Liu San's train also left the Station, the remaining Survivors continued to discuss frequently, even shifting their attention to the original Pioneers of Channel #2.
After all, they were in the same channel as this boss, so they knew more.
But the more they learned, the more shocked they became.
"Immortal-level employees?"
"All War General-level?!"
...The train traveled through the dense Rainforest. Bai Cheng, at the front of the train, was about to check her rewards.
