211 Mr. Baroque's Secret
Starting from Eden through the city center, reaching the "Rust Belt" in the 12th slum area of the City of Steel, you can find the headquarters of Dachao News.
The reason why this infamous media has not been in the city center like their peers is very simple and clear:
——Their actions are illegal.
As the most disgusting media in the City of Steel, the principle of tide news is: if there is news, report news, create news yourself without news, and if it really doesn’t work, you will become news yourself.
Once upon a time, when there was no news to report, Dachao News even killed several of its own reporters and wrote the report "This reporter was killed in the desert."
As for the news of making enemies everywhere, why it has not been removed yet, the reason is very simple:
——Their combat power is too strong.
The headquarters of Dachao News is a fortress located on the westernmost side of the Rust Belt, near the desert.
It was the remains of a military camp before the nuclear war, which was rebuilt by Dachao News, and all kinds of protective measures were available. Magnetic storm coils and machine gun towers were installed around the base, and even air defense missiles were even included.
This dark purple building stands on the edge of the City of Steel, like a terrifying monument.
The employees of Dachao News are all cyborgs who have participated in the war. If you pull any one out of the office, you can kill dozens of secret sons with your bare hands.
This group of real men who once killed people were now led by the current editor-in-chief Baroque Black Blood, devoted themselves to the news industry, and went to various places every day to find content that can be reported. Their professionalism was beyond imagination.
Surrounded by steel walls and not even a window, four projection screens lean against the four walls.
The reporters who went out to find news are reporting today's results to colleagues in the office:
"This is Mar, I found a mutated two-headed scorpion!"
On the projection screen on the left hand side of the door, a man with blood all over his body was riding on the back of a scorpion that was three meters long, and grabbed the golden shell of the poisonous scorpion with both hands: "Shoot quickly! Try to cut out as much content as possible, I can't last long!"
Before he finished speaking, the man fell to the ground. The poisonous scorpion stretched out his big pliers to grab him, put it in his mouth and started to chew.
"Photo taken quickly! I'm going to be gone!" the reporter shouted.
Looking at the reporter who was losing weight quickly on the screen, the tall and big blonde cyborg - Baroque Black Blood shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied:
"This scene is too bloody and can't be played at all. Please pinch it."
"Don't--"
The reporter who was being chewed was about to speak, but the live broadcast connection was over.
"This is Mr. An, the reporter on the scene. I have found the hiding place of the kidnappers."
On the screen on the right, a semi-mechanical man with silver light shining from his body threw the body with his neck aside: "I have all killed the kidnappers, what should the hostages do? What title do you plan to write?"
"The news title is "Family members failed to pay the ransom in time, and the robbers cruelly ripped the votes." Baroque replied.
"Oh, I understand, I'll take the hostages too, right?"
Mr. An said as he came to the trembling hostage kneeling on the ground, pulled out a small thermal knife: "Don't blame me, this is a work need."
“Ahhhh——”
In order to avoid the hostages' screams affecting work efficiency, Baroque also pinched the scene here.
He came to the screen opposite the office door and saw several reporters launching a charge to the desert base of the Secret Son:
"Boss, our idea is to kill all the people in this base and then disguise them as if they were killed in internal strife. The news title is "Shock! The internal strife of the Secret Son is getting worse and will fall apart." What do you think?"
"Um……"
Listening to the proposals of several reporters, Baroque's face covered with metal skeletons showed a smile:
"What do you think?"
"We think it's OK!" A reporter who was firing laughed happily.
"It's a big deal!"
Baroque shouted loudly, and the reporter on the other side of the camera shook his hands and shot his teammates in the head.
"Do you have brains?" Baroque gritted his teeth.
"I just knocked Lao Lin's brain away." The reprimanded reporter replied tremblingly.
"How many times have I said it? The most important thing for media people is to use their brains! When has it been, and what other bullshit robbers are reported? Do you think someone will watch it?" Baroque asked.
"What's the report?" the reporter asked stupidly.
"It must be the hot topic now - Jin Zhechi!"
Baroque was so angry that his face flushed: "Don't you guys do you guys? Today, Jin Zhechi's content is overwhelming, and he is discussing him everywhere. What are you waiting for? Go and find him quickly!"
"Don't report any bullshit Scorpion and Secret Son. Everyone scattered into the city and integrate the information on Weite every two minutes. Don't miss any information about Jin Zhechi's location."
"Once someone posted a new video of Jin Zhechi on Weite, they immediately started to locate it. Someone must arrive at the scene within five minutes! Do you understand?"
"But we are on duty today." A cyborg raised his hand and asked.
"Sit a shit, get out and find Jin Zhechi!" Baroque kicked him.
Someone asked again: "What should I do with the defense of the base?"
"Leave the base defense to automatic AI, I will work all at once, hurry up!"
Driven by Baroque, all the cyborgs in the office left the Dachao News Headquarters and began to search for Jin Zhechi's traces in every corner of the city.
"Boss..."
A vague voice came from the radio: "What should we do if we find Jin Zhechi?"
"After finding him, I will kidnap him to the headquarters immediately!" Baroque issued an order: "I will deal with him myself."
"How to deal with it?" the reporter asked curiously.
"The news title is "Kim Cheolchi encountered enthusiastic male fans and suffered tragic torture."
Speaking of this, a purple light flashed in Baroque's LCD eyes: "So, do you understand?"
"I understand. You are willing to sacrifice yourself to create big news!"
The reporter was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "I am worthy of being the leader. Even if my sexual orientation is normal, I must work hard to create news..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Baroque was too lazy to listen to his subordinates' flattery and ended the call decisively.
...
The office, which is very lively on weekdays, is particularly quiet today.
Standing in the empty office, Baroque, alone, looked around.
Having confirmed that there were no other employees nearby, he reached into his top pocket and took out a wrinkled photo.
The man in that photo was wearing white overalls and a simple black top. The position of his face was blurred, and a line of flowing text was signed in the lower right corner:
——Jin Zhechi.
Baroque pressed the signature on his face, feeling the remaining breath greedily, opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth, and made a heavy breathing sound:
"Teacher Xiaojin...my Teacher Xiaojin..."
Chapter completed!
