Chapter 333 Crisis Announcement
At this time, Schenkov was left speechless when old accounts were revealed. He could only defend: "It was before, but now I look back and feel that what I did at that time was very problematic, and we shouldn't have done things that way. "
Amir said in a mocking tone: "Oh~ It's been so long since it happened, and you've been treated as a super hero. Now you're doing it as an afterthought?"
Schenkov did not waste time on bickering, and said in a deep voice: "I have only one request, to make the situation public. This is not just for Crescent City."
"You also said that there are many other cities between Crescent City and Tianmen Patrol Station. The people there must at least be prepared, right?"
Amir shook his head helplessly and said, "Let me tell you straight, it is impossible to disclose the situation. It will hurt the face of Hefei Company."
Schenkov asked in shock: "Did I hear correctly, face? This is a matter of face???"
Amir said directly: "You heard it right, it's about saving face. The Tianmen Patrol Station has always been managed by the Hefei Company. If the news of the fall there spreads on a large scale, there will be many public opinion crises that are not conducive to the company."
"Although public opinion has little impact on the Hefei Company, this matter will become a basis for the Iron Blood Alliance and the Black Domain Group to attack them in the future, and it will not be conducive to the upcoming parliamentary election, so they are strictly prohibited from publicizing this matter. "
"I would like to remind everyone that the contents of today's meeting are not allowed to be told to anyone after leaving here, not even your wives and children. If anyone leaks it, we will deal with it seriously!"
Schenkov interrupted anxiously: "You are kidding with human life! If Tianmen fails to control it and something happens, who will be responsible?!"
Amir shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not our responsibility anyway. We only need to be responsible to the leaders above."
Schenkov gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no point in talking anymore. This was not something he could shake.
After absent-mindedly finishing the meeting and dealing with the things he had to do together, Schenkov hid in his office and made a call on his personal mobile phone.
[Deep underground, ruins of structural civilization]
Sumer was driving the Earth Spacecraft and was cutting a door-like structure on the black spire.
This black spire is extremely strong, and the place where the fourth customs clearance prop "Tectonic Larva" is located is the center of defense. It is impossible to completely destroy it with a mere Earth spacecraft.
To get close to the larval construct and turn off the beacon, you need to enter the main control room inside the Black Spire and paralyze all its control systems.
And only the "Black Zetsu Virus" can do this.
While Sumer was cutting the black spire gate, future communication came in.
"Boss, Schenkov just called me and said that the Tianmen Patrol Station has fallen. The city council is mobilizing all the heavy military equipment in Crescent City and preparing to cooperate with the Hefei Company to transport it to Tianmen."
Su Mo: "Then, has the news of Tianmen's fall been made public?"
Future: "No, the city council said they are only responsible to the boss and want to protect the face of Hefei Company."
Su Mo: "Haha, I knew it would turn into this, a stupid bureaucracy."
What is happening now has also happened in the "Dawn" game, and it can even be said to be exactly the same.
For such a large-scale event, in the face of the general trend planned by the original plot, the influence of his previous small actions is too weak.
At present, neither the Crescent City Council, the Upper Tribunal Council, nor the Joint Venture Corporation has realized the seriousness of the problem.
They may have thought that this was some ferocious beast movement that was rare in a hundred years, and they only needed to send enough troops to the Tianmen Patrol Station to hold out there for a while.
But in fact, the source of the problem is not at Tianmen, but the black spire in front of him.
As long as the beacon is not turned off, the vicious beasts will continue to rush towards Crescent City.
That kind of terrifying beast, not to mention whether the troops mobilized by Hezi Company can stop it.
Even if the Tianmen Patrol Station is really defended, the beast can use more than one attack method.
A worried voice came from the future: "Boss, what should we do now?"
Su Mo: "I have no way to affect the deployment of the joint venture, and no matter what they do, they will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The key to the problem is not elsewhere, but in the beacon. It is more useful for me to close the beacon as soon as possible than anything else."
Future: "What about us? Is there anything else we can do?"
Su Mo: "Everything needed to turn off the beacon is already on board the Earth Spaceship. All that's left is time. What else can you do?"
He pondered for a while and said, "In this case, you can bring Qi Ling in."
Qi Ling's voice suddenly sounded: "I'm here."
Su Mo: "When did you come in?"
Qi Ling: "Always here."
Future: "Sister, this is the encrypted frequency band between me and the boss."
Qi Ling: "Is there a possibility that I am a hacker?"
Mirai: "A hacker who hacks his own people, right?"
Su Mo: "Okay, don't quarrel Qiling. Now, you know what I told you in the future, about the construct civilization, the construct larvae and the beacon, right?"
Qi Ling: "Well, I just don't understand something."
Su Mo: "Say."
Qi Ling: "You said before that the border area will be the hardest hit area by ferocious beasts, so you contacted the people who attacked the wolf and Schenkov to respond in advance, hoping to reduce the casualties in the border area. Logically speaking, I I understand, but I don’t quite understand your intention.”
"In my opinion, you are a very rational person. You will consider the pros and cons of everything and will not do unnecessary things. It is unlikely that you are just saving people just to save them. There must be your considerations in this. I Want to know what it is."
Qi Ling's words made Su Mo couldn't help but smile: "Qi Ling, let me ask you a question. Who do you think I saved by doing those seemingly unnecessary things?"
Qi Ling answered without hesitation: "People from the border areas."
Su Mo shook his head and said meaningfully: "No, we saved not only the border people, but all the fire types."
"This world is shrouded in the shadow of giants. They make all the rules. If you fight within the rules, you will never be able to defeat them."
"So one day, instead of sitting down and playing chess with them, I'm going to turn the table upside down, grab the chessboard and throw it in their faces."
"At that time, we will face an unimaginably huge darkness. We cannot just burn silently on our own, but must let every fire kindle its fire."
After the words fell, the atmosphere became subtle. The two of them remained silent in tacit understanding, but their hearts blended together silently, even though they were separated by a hundred thousand meters of rock formation.
There was a chuckle from Qi Ling's side, and her voice became brisk: "Tell me, what should I do next?"
Su Mo said slowly: "There is something you need to do now. Schenkov failed to handle the city council. Since those bureaucrats don't want to speak, then we will help them speak."
A new day begins, and life in Crescent City is as usual.
The city skyline is dominated by skyscrapers, and the glass curtain walls reflect the rays of the morning sun. Floating vehicles shuttle along invisible rail routes, and the shining light from the engine port leaves streaks of light in the sky.
In luxury buildings, wealthy elites enjoy the convenience brought by technology. They are well-dressed and sitting in the conference room, discussing the business plan they are about to sign through holographic equipment.
In a dark corner outside a bustling neighborhood, drug addicts sit around on the dirty ground with empty eyes, holding cheap electronic inhalers tightly in their hands, and making low coughing sounds from time to time.
There are also ordinary people, holding cheap breakfast in their hands, rushing to the nearest subway station. When they have a little leisure time, they take out their mobile phones to browse social platforms or short videos, and try their best to make the best use of their usual abilities. Not much fragmented time.
Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, everyone has their own life in this city and strives to secure their position in the huge metropolis.
They believe that life will continue as usual.
At least I still believe it for now
At this time, on the streets of the city, the latest virtual reality game advertisements were played in turn on large screens outside shopping malls. The videos were cut very brilliantly, attracting the attention of passers-by from time to time.
Suddenly, without warning, the ads on those screens disappeared and turned into a black screen.
Just when passers-by were confused, a video was re-posted with the same content.
It was a picture taken by some kind of high-altitude reconnaissance equipment. It showed the scene of countless ferocious beasts rushing over the wasteland and frantically attacking the Tianmen Patrol Station.
Almost at the same time, people's cell phones rang one after another, and various text message notification tones merged into a long and chaotic music.
Everyone stopped and took out their mobile phones to take a look.
Everyone received a message from an unknown number, which contained the same video and lines of text below:
[Emergency Notice: The Tianmen Patrol Station, 348 kilometers away from Crescent City, was confirmed to have fallen yesterday. The beasts from Borderlands are rapidly approaching Crescent City and are expected to arrive within a few days]
[To protect the safety of citizens, please take the following measures immediately]
[1. Stay calm, find the nearest store, and buy water, food, basic medical drugs, etc. in an orderly manner]
[2. Return home, reinforce doors and windows, and do not go out unless necessary]
【three】
【.】
The moment emergency announcements on mobile phones, computers, TVs, and public screens were seen by people through various channels, the entire Crescent City seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The vehicles driving on the street stopped one after another, and pedestrians stopped one after another. You looked at me, I looked at you, and asked each other tentatively:
"Hello, have you received an emergency announcement?"
"Yes, you received it too?"
"Is this true or false?"
"I don't know. It's an unknown number. It feels like a scammer."
"Old mother Diurei, she looks like the one who jumped on the street to play a prank."
"Hey, Mom, you already know about the ferocious beast. Oh, don't worry about it. Just go back to the house and I'll be back."
Various voices came from around, and everyone held their mobile phones in confusion, discussing the authenticity of this announcement with people nearby.
Gradually, the suspended city resumed its activities. Some people shook their heads, thinking that this was just a hacker's prank, and continued to go to work.
Some people believed it, with eagerness written on their faces, and hurriedly called their families to ask them to go home immediately, and then left in a hurry.
On social networks, hot searches for related topics are also soaring rapidly, and they are all filled with messages from netizens from all walks of life.
[Guigui, what are you guys doing in Crescent City? 】
[I live in Bengbu, why do we share in every bad luck?]
[This is how our Crescent City has simple folk customs. Everyone is welcome to travel in the future (dog head)]
[Is the end of the world coming? Great, I finally don’t have to work overtime anymore, destroy it, I’m tired]
[This special effect is quite good, just like the real thing. Are AI videos so advanced these days? 】
[Local people said that this is definitely fake and it looked like it was hacked. Because if something really happened, the gentlemen of the city council have never cared about our life and death, so how could they be so kind as to issue an evacuation notice (呲ya)]
[Believe in the fall of the border, or believe that I am the First Emperor of Shu? 】
[Everyone should pay attention. Are there many unnatural things happening in Crescent City? I’m not sure it’s true, I went to buy supplies anyway]
[Crescent City, hold on, everyone must stay safe QAQ]
For a time, shock, ridicule, panic, doubt, and prayer were all kinds of emotions spreading, and a strange atmosphere began to fill Crescent City.
【Municipal Building Conference Room】
Amir had already learned about the intelligence leak, and he was furious: "Who leaked it?! What do you want to do?!"
The top leaders of each department looked at each other with confusion written on their faces, and they all said that they had nothing to do with this matter.
Amir clutched his hair in a state of collapse: "Oh God, the Hefei Company is going to cause trouble for us."
Someone reminded softly: "Mr. City Speaker, we only received news of the fall of Tianmen before. We don't have a video about the beast, so it can be reasonably inferred that it should have been leaked from us."
"Combined with the way the intelligence was leaked, I think a hacker probably got the intelligence from other places and invaded the Crescent City public safety network."
Amir became very agitated and paced back and forth in the conference room.
After a moment, he said seriously to Schenkov: "Let your anti-information crime team investigate and find this hacker! If there is an insider, investigate and deal with it as well!"
Schenkov: "Okay."
After he agreed, he coughed lightly and said, "Mr. City Speaker, now that the matter has been revealed, do we think we should just go with the flow and guide the residents to prepare for evacuation?"
Amir quickly responded: "No, let the network supervisor locate a few users with the most reposts, say they are spreading rumors, arrest them directly, and then draft a notice and send it out."
Schenkov was stunned and asked seriously: "The fall of the border is true, but you want to treat it as a rumor?!"
Amir scolded: "Even if it is true, it will be false until the city council qualifies it!"
"If this matter is not handled well, the Hefei company will have to come to us to investigate. Let the Internet Supervisor arrest the person, immediately!" (End of Chapter)
