Chapter 2949

After his men reported the progress of the rescue, Mr. Patou let him go and called Anna.

"… This is the general situation. We need more cold-proof clothing and food. The two lower floors of the shelter are completely flooded. I haven't asked anyone to open the drainage system yet. I think it should be of some use, extra."

After listening to this, Anna had to admire her father for his sensitivity in dealing with some problems.

Connor needs to show people a more miserable picture, rather than a warm rescue. It is better to set up more examples to gain empathy from the grassroots people.

If you tell the people in other shelters that the management team of this shelter is terrible, they may only have a vague concept.

Even if you tell them that 600,000 or 700,000 people died here, for those who have nothing to do with this place, it is just a number that sounds special.

They may say "Oh, my God", and then their emotions will calm down.

They will not really think this is a terrible thing, after all, it did not happen to them.

So we must let them touch their hearts through more real pictures, let them think, and firmly deny that such things will not happen to them!

And this requires more direct and impactful pictures.

Although Anna is also a shareholder of the company and a member of the board of directors, her seat is much lower than Connor.

In the past, in large companies, the status of shareholders was related to how much equity they owned, and it is even more so now!

Even if it is only a one-tenth difference, it is enough to make the two shareholders stand on completely different levels.

Not to mention that Connor's shares are calculated as a percentage, while others who can be calculated as a thousandth are already very advanced shareholders.

No one opposes Connor's requirements and opinions, at least they will be implemented and executed if there are not many people who oppose together.

Blackstone TV also sent more filming teams here, and they need to go downstairs to shoot more miserable pictures.

Patu kept everything Anna told him in mind, and he still has this ability.

The relationship between father and daughter seemed to have turned around overnight. After hanging up the phone, Mr. Patu had a smile on his face. He was actually very scared now.

If... his luck was worse, now it would be his turn to be unlucky.

There are still many management people who have not been caught. They may have died, but they have become one with this shelter, or they may be hiding in the crowd.

He needs to mobilize more people, the "locals" of this shelter to find these management people.

At the same time, he also needs to welcome the interview team.

They come by plane.

In this bad period, the only company that has the ability to fly is Federal Airlines, and Federal Airlines is owned by Lynch.

Whoever he wants to fly can fly, and whoever he doesn't want to fly must queue up for the train.

In less than half an hour, a large number of interview teams came down through the temporary hanging basket.

They looked at the people who were crowded together like refugees, wrapped in blankets waiting for rescue, and they were not very moved.

These pictures are no longer as shocking as they were one or two days ago.

They need more shocking materials. The journalist group is always beyond the moral ethics and laws. It's not that they want to break the law and do something terrible.

But their values ​​and some cognitions are different from ordinary people.

Just like the three ace reporters who first filmed the shelter, people have seen too much truth, kindness and beauty. Film and television works and literary creations all seem to be talking about these things.

The happy ending will always be forgotten within an hour after people leave the cinema, but pain, despair, and these negative emotions will accompany them for a long time.

This is what they want.

The professional team and equipment, led by the rescue team, entered the lower level. At this time, the power supply has been restored. The ground is wet all the way. Soon they came to the huge corridor between the fourth and fifth floors.

"The next picture may be a little... You know, you should be mentally prepared."

At the prompting of the rescue team, all reporters began to prepare, and the live broadcast signal was connected and began to broadcast live to the world.

When the lights came on, everyone took a breath of cold air, and the whole space was dead silent.

Countless bodies that were soaked white were left on the stairs. Under the water, one body after another floated, layer upon layer, making people wonder how many there were, and their scalps were numb.

Two female reporters couldn't stand it anymore and started vomiting. It wasn't because they felt nauseous, but because they were afraid.

When people are extremely afraid, there is a certain probability that they will experience physical discomfort. Nausea, vomiting, chest and abdominal discomfort, and leg weakness are very common.

The camera recorded all this faithfully. At this time, another corpse floated up from the dark depths, pushing some corpses aside, and rose and fell on the water.

Because of the ripples it caused, the corpses around it were constantly rising and falling.

Someone vomited again.

"I'm going to turn on the pumping system."

The rescue team said a few words on the walkie-talkie, and the pumping system in the shelter started working.

"It may take about eight to ten hours to pump out all the water on the fifth floor. You can take a break first."

The ace reporter in charge of the live broadcast asked, suppressing his physical discomfort, "What are you going to do with these bodies?"

"Move them away and burn them?"

"Or what else?"

The rescue team showed an expression of "You must be crazy", but when he thought that these people were reporters and had the characteristics of reporters, he was relieved.

"There are hundreds of thousands of bodies here. We can't move them away at all, and we don't have enough equipment to burn them."

"The weather is very cold now. This is the only good news among a lot of bad news. It also means that we don't need to deal with these bodies."

"When we are sure that there are no living people below, we just need to turn off the heating equipment."

"Everyone will gradually evacuate here, and we won't deal with these bodies."

Even the well-informed ace reporter was silenced.

The federal people are very strange. On the one hand, they do things that disrespect the living, and on the other hand, they encourage respect for the dead.

Maybe the reason for respecting the dead is that the dead will not lose their temper or get angry.

But leaving so many bodies like this... still makes people's scalps numb.

The ace reporter thought that she had to go back and go down, and the fear made her scalp numb.

"No one is going to give them a decent funeral?"

The rescue team sneered, "Hundreds of thousands of bodies, how about you come?"

These seemingly angry and numb conversations gave the audience in front of the TV a heavy blow.

After death, even the bodies cannot be burned or buried in the ground. When they think that these bodies will become ice sculptures and piled up here, everyone's soul is trembling!

Other teams began to interview the victims, and the ace female reporter planned to leave first.

Compared with photographing the dead, they are actually better at interviewing the living.

The female reporter found a woman who looked desperate and squatted beside her, "I found that you are the only one here, where are your family members?"

The woman's eyes were swollen like fish eyes after she cried so much that she couldn't cry anymore. She looked at the female reporter and didn't speak.

"Did your family get separated from you, or did they die down there?"

The woman lowered her head, not wanting to talk to her, but the female reporter didn't seem to want to let go of this female victim.

"Are you sad now?"

"If your family members all died, would you be sad?"

"If possible, would you like to see them again?"

"You..."

Looking at the silent woman, the female reporter felt a little regretful that she couldn't mobilize the woman's emotions and didn't make her create some value for herself.

But soon she found a better interviewee, a child who looked very lonely, about ten years old.

"I see that other people are all families together, where are your parents?"

The child just cried for a long time before stopping, and when the female reporter asked this, he couldn't help crying again.

"Are you crying because you know your parents may have died?"

"If they die, you will become an orphan. Do you still have grandparents?"

"Or uncles and aunts?"

"Or did you live together before, and now you are the only one left?"

"Do you have anything to say?"

The child cried even more sadly, and the female reporter was very satisfied. Even if he didn't speak, his "positive" emotional feedback was more powerful than speaking!

Language can be hypocritical, but emotional feedback is more real!

Countless people called Blackstone TV to curse the female reporter and her family, pouring out their angry emotions, and this performance is actually what the TV station wants to see.

They activated the empathy of these grassroots people, making them stand on the side of the interviewees with empathy, so they are so angry and call to curse.

Many times do you think they don't know how hateful what they do is?

They know, but this is where they show their value!

The rescue work is still going on. When the water on the fifth floor was drained, the rescuers looked at the top that had been soaked and some paint was peeling, and directly announced that there were no living people on the fifth floor.

Three days, in an environment without oxygen, people can't live that long.

As for the sixth floor, there is no need to look at it. As long as the water is pumped out and the living people on it are sent away, they will leave with them.

Everything that happened here is irritating the nerves of the lower-class people all over the world, especially the lower-class residents of the Shelter Alliance in the Federation!

Almost all small and medium-sized shelters have announced that they will give up their membership in the Shelter Alliance and are willing to continue to accept the management of the federal government.

The remaining few larger shelters have also given up continuing to insist. They just hope to talk to Globalcom and fight for the interests they should fight for.

Everyone can see that the Federation has been unified!

It is not a unification in terms of territory, but a unification in terms of rule!
