This Game Is Too Realistic

"Buildings covered with slime mold, fruiting bodies crowded like a tide, and active incubation rooms... Everything you see is the current situation in Qingquan East District."

"The wave ended. No one knew how it ended. It wasn't until our reporters went deep into Qingquan East District that the unknown truth was revealed!"

The entire newspaper was only three pages long. Chu Guang flipped through the newspaper and found that these three pages were all about the eastern suburbs of Qingquan.

The first part first reveals the whereabouts of the slime mold fruiting bodies. A large number of fruiting bodies were not destroyed, but moved to the eastern suburbs of Qingquan.

There is nothing wrong with this content.

After solving the wave of 㫇㹓, the alliance did transfer all the fruiting entities to Qingquan㹐's east area, instead of packaging and selling them to nearby merchants like the previous 㹓.

Chu Guang still remembered clearly that this was an order he personally gave.

However, in the first part, the content gradually started to go wrong.

This part of the content subtly points the finger at the alliance authorities, using vague evidence and the so-called citation of insider information to fabricate out of thin air the alliance through some unknown means to reach an agreement with the Brood of Qingquan Rui Center. , thereby driving the sub-entities to be owned by the alliance.

In the third part, Baoyu shifted his focus to the "survivors" in Qingquan East District.

Several survivors claimed in interviews that Alliance troops drove them from their homes and threatened to have slime mold fruiting bodies eat them if they did not comply.

In fact, except for a few lonely survivors, most of the survivors of Qingquan moved to Dawn City or Boulder City during the Bone Chewing Rebellion.

There are very few solitary survivors wandering around the wasteland around Qingquan, let alone the eastern suburbs of Qingquan where there are many different species.

Those survivors may not be real survivors, but looters hiding in the ruins or simply hired mercenaries.

At the end of the report, the author left a meaningful word.

"The bomb was not defused, but was moved from one frame to another. It is right next to us and may explode at any time, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Victory achieved through compromise is not a real victory. , if we don’t clean up every last one of those slime molds, this war will never end..."

After reading the newspaper to the end, Chu Guang turned back to the first page and took a look at the header.

As he expected, this was the first issue of Qingquan Daily.

It's as if the entire newspaper was founded for this big news, and this newspaper is counting on this big news to open up.

After observing Chu Guang's expression for a while, old Charlie continued to talk seriously.

"I found this newspaper at a newsstand near the Hong Kong Merchants Union one morning. I asked the vendor where he got it from, and the vendor scratched the back of his head and told me that he didn't remember buying it. Newspaper.”

After a pause, old Charlie continued.

"Later, I asked employees of the Hongshang Union to visit and investigate various newsstands in Shuguang City, and found that more than 80% of the newsstands were selling the "Qingquan Daily" of unknown origin, and the stalls could not explain it clearly. Where did this newspaper come from? It's like it appeared out of thin air on their stall."

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"This is not surprising. Except for the largest-selling "Daily Survivor", which has its own distributor, most newsstands in Dawn City have signed agreements with printing plants, and the printing plants will publish the first edition based on the sales volume of each outlet the previous day. The newspapers were then delivered to various outlets before the morning rush hour. Maybe someone inserted the goods into the trucks leaving the printing factory, and the newspapers were naturally distributed to various stalls. "

Under this sales model, it is naturally impossible for the stalls at each stall to know about this newspaper.

Not to mention this "Qingquan Daily", except for the well-known "Survivor Daily" and serial novels, they may not know how many newspapers there are in the Yu stall.

This newspaper, which is only three pages long, is obviously the first time it has appeared in the streets of Dawn City, just like psoriasis growing in dark corners.

Chu Guang could even guess what their purpose was.

It is nothing more than an attempt to exploit public panic and obstruct the ecological protection zone established by the alliance in Qingquan East District.

As for deeper motivations, there are even more possibilities.

He was actually a little curious as to what was worthy of them spending so much money and risking offending the alliance.

Seeing the unconcerned smile on Chu Guang's face, old Charlie was a little puzzled as to why such a big thing happened, but the respected manager could still laugh.

Worried that Chu Guang did not realize the seriousness of this matter, old Charlie couldn't help but feel anxious and said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Manager, you may not realize the seriousness of this matter. Our enemies are trying to use the media to disintegrate our unity. And the celebration is coming soon. If something goes wrong at this time, it will not only be yours." The prestige will be affected, and the regional prestige and influence of the entire alliance will also be affected!"

After a pause, he continued speaking seriously.

"We must take action immediately! At least recall the newspapers on sale before public opinion ferments!"

Chu Guang asked casually.

"What about after the recall?"

Old Charlie was slightly startled, but he thought of his idea quickly.

"We should establish a more stringent publishing review mechanism to at least prevent similar situations from happening again, and find the person behind this incident, especially the publisher of Qingquan Daily——"

Chu Guang smiled and shook his head.

He closed the "Qingquan Daily" in his hand and handed it back to old Charlie.

"I understand what you mean. The person behind this matter is very smart, but it's a pity that his methods are not very clever."

"They underestimated the unity of all walks of life in our society and the trust that the residents living here have in us after a victory. They even made more than one common sense mistake in the interview. This set of rules in Old Boulder City It’s feasible. If we do this, they will only become the joke.”

"Our supporters are not so easy to fool. What we have to do now is to stabilize our position and not get panicked by our opponents' lame tricks. If it is like you said, going to all the trouble to recall the newspaper will actually It will shake the people who support us... The guy in the shadows will only be happy."

Speaking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help but want to criticize his own "Survivor Daily".

Those guys are usually quite clever, and they especially stole the show during their trip to Boulder City.

However, this time they seemed to be blind. Such a big thing happened in Qingquan East District, but they didn't even report a word to you!

Chu Guang thought that the report hadn't been written yet, but it turned out that it had been two days, and they couldn't help but let a small newspaper appear out of nowhere and get the first step.

As a semi-official media, it is what it should do to provide objective and fair reports and respond to the public’s doubts. Otherwise, what else is there for it?

Just display it as a vase?

Chu Guang didn't believe that his residents only cared about the delicious food at the celebration and paid no attention to the Qingquan Center and the ecological reserve in the East District.

At most, it was out of trust in others, thinking that they must have a solution, so no one proposed it.

If it did not respond to the doubts in the minds of Alliance residents immediately, the "Daily Survivor" would definitely not be able to escape from this big pot.

Chu Guang planned to talk to the editor-in-chief Zhi Zhi soon and ask him what he thought.

Of course.

The "Qingquan Daily News" that appeared out of nowhere cannot just be ignored and allowed to fart randomly.

Chu Guang looked at Lu Bei on the side and told Yu.

"The photo should have been taken yesterday. Go to the local troops for me and ask them who approached Qingquan East District yesterday and what their identities are... Just remember to ask clearly and don't take any action for the time being. "

It is inevitable that the ecological reserve in Qingquan East District will attract the attention of other survivor forces. Maybe even the Legion's spies will come to Shuguang City.

However, those guys were very smart. They were just observing secretly from the sidelines and did not make any rash moves that might expose themselves.

Chu Guang was curious about who this guy who jumped out to find discomfort was.

This matter must be investigated!

Lu Bei's expression became solemn upon hearing this, and he immediately stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"yes!"

…

Compared to the scientific research cooperation agreement between the alliance and the academy, a random report is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Although old Charlie looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, to be honest, Chu Guang was not particularly worried.

To put it bluntly.

He didn't believe it at all, that anyone would believe that stuff.

Anyone who has stayed in Shuguang City knows what the East District of Qingquan City is like. Basically no one wants to go there except the players.

Survivors who were forced to leave their homes...

This sounds too nonsense.

After explaining to Lu Bei, Chu Guang returned to the shelter and discussed with Yin Fang the establishment of a special zone in Wandering Swamp and academic visits and exchanges.

What Chu Guang didn't know was that just when Lu Bei was heading to the East District of Qingquan City with his order, the fabricated report appeared on the desk of the company's embassy in the alliance.

Looking at the "explosive" content in the newspaper, Yi Chuan couldn't help but widen his eyes and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

"...the former nest in the city center was moved to the east district of Qingquan City by alliance administrators and kept in captivity, and its fruiting bodies were driven for their own use through evil power?"

The corner of his mouth twitched. After reading this line, he finally couldn't control the expression on his face. He shook his head and threw the nonsense on the table.

"What the hell is this written?!"

Raising a nest in captivity?

He didn't even know that their partner was capable of this!

Since the beginning of the wave, companies have been paying attention to the progress of the wave.

This is not only because it plays an important role in the strategic layout of the alliance's enterprises, but also because the mutant slime mold itself is one of the core threats in the wasteland.

If the alliance has completely solved the troubles that the post-war construction committee was unable to solve, this news will make the entire corporate board of directors look at the alliance with admiration.

However, the council still has a lot of questions about how the alliance solves the wave crisis, how to eliminate the Echao in the city center, and how to ensure that the Echao will not reoccur as before. Doubts, hoping to get answers through diplomatic channels.

Especially recently, the Council intends to have more in-depth cooperation with the Alliance on issues related to mutant slime mold. Some radical Council members even proposed to simply outsource the clearance of the Echao in the Cloud Province to the Alliance.

In order to provide more information to the board of directors, Yi Chuan, as the corporate ambassador to the alliance, asked his secretary to go out and purchase some newspapers.

As a result, the guy went away for a long time and came back with a few fooling things.

Looking at the secretary standing next to the desk, Yi Chuan pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache.

"I asked you to purchase some newspapers reporting on news related to the East District of Qingquan City. How did you bring these things back?"

The secretary looked a little embarrassed.

He also felt that the content of the newspaper was a bit exaggerated. From the title to the content, it was full of exaggeration. He still wanted to defend himself, so he coughed lightly and said.

"This is the only newspaper on the market that can be found to report on the East District of Qingquan City and the whereabouts of E Chao... Other newspapers that mentioned information about Inspur and E Chao basically quoted reports from the Survivor Daily."

Yi Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

“What about Daily Survivor?”

The secretary continued with a subtle expression.

"The headline of the last issue of "Survivor Daily" was mainly about the upcoming celebration, and did not mention the details of the alliance's previous wave battle, nor did it mention the ecological reserve in the east district of Qingquan City. Related news It seems to have been blocked. I speculate that the alliance officials put pressure on the "Daily Survivor" to keep this information confidential...perhaps for the purpose of confidentiality. "

Keep it secret?

After listening to his explanation, the expression on Yi Chuan's face became even more confused.

What's so secret about this?

If the Alliance really masters a method that can break the mutant slime mold, the survivor forces in the entire wasteland will come to learn from them, and even the Legion may lower their proud heads... After all, this is an issue that concerns all mankind. .

Shouldn't this kind of thing be shown off in a big way?

The secretary continued with a subtle expression.

"Is there a possibility that... the facts are just like what is described in this report, but it is not that exaggerated? And this newspaper was actually deliberately released by the alliance?"

Yi Chuan did not directly refute this time.

He tapped his index finger lightly on the table, pondered for a moment and then said.

"What's the basis for the speculation?"

The secretary analyzed it slowly.

"Currently, the entire Eastern District of Qingquan City is under military control by the Alliance. Any survivors who approach will be driven away. It is impossible for ordinary people to take such clear photos... Even if they can, they cannot take them out."

This statement is reasonable.

Yichuan nodded.

Although he has not been to the East District of Qingquan City, the embassy has also received the notification document of military control.

But this is just a guess as to feasibility.

"What's the motive?" Yi Chuan looked at his secretary, "What are the benefits of doing this?"

Secretary: "Desensitization."

Yi Chuan was stunned for a moment.

"Desensitization?"

The secretary nodded and continued.

"On some sensitive issues, first throw out a piece of news that seems unbelievable, and then when everyone is shocked, clarify that the matter is not that exaggerated."

Yi Chuan's eyes flashed with shrewdness.

"Before you open a window, you first declare that you want to lift the roof?"

"Yes," the secretary nodded, "I speculate that they must have mastered some kind of technology that can control the nest... This should not be as simple as simple mind control. We have tested that mind control is ineffective against mutant slime mold. of."

Looking at Yi Chuan, whose expression gradually became serious, the secretary paused and continued.

"In addition, since the alliance authorities have chosen to desensitize the news, it shows that they are ready to make it public. Otherwise, this smoke bomb will seem redundant."

"I speculate that they may also take this opportunity to send a signal of cooperation."

"Also, I heard that...the representative of the academy, Kazushima, appeared near the Alliance Building, the B-class researcher who had been peeping next to him."

As soon as he heard this, Yi Chuan immediately pushed away the chair and stood up, patting the newspaper that he had thrown on the table before.

"Send an application for a diplomatic meeting to the alliance for me. I want to talk to their manager about this in person."

The secretary nodded.

"I'm going right now!"
