This Game is Too Real Chapter 648

  Chapter 648 Misunderstanding

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

   "The wave is over, but no one knows how it ended. It wasn't until our reporter went deep into the East District of Qingquan City that the unknown truth was revealed!"

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

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

   There is nothing wrong with this content.

   After solving this year's wave, the alliance did transfer all the fruiting bodies to the east district of Qingquan City, instead of packaging and selling them to nearby merchants as in previous years.

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

  However, when it came to the second part, the content gradually became different.

The content of this part cleverly points the finger at the Alliance authorities, using vague evidence and so-called citing of insiders to fabricate out of thin air that the Alliance has reached an agreement with the brood nest in the center of Qingquan City through some unknown means, Thereby driving the sub-entities to be used by the alliance.

  In the third part, the report shifted its focus to the "survivors" in the East District of Qingquan City.

  Several survivors have been interviewed claiming that Alliance forces 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 in Qingquan City moved to Dawn City or Boulder City during the Bones Rebellion.

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

  Those survivors are probably not real survivors, but looters hiding in the ruins or hired mercenaries at all.

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

"The bomb was not defused, it was moved from one frame to another, it was right next to us, it could go off at any moment, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. A victory in exchange for a compromise is not a real victory, This war will never end if we don't get rid of every last one of those slime molds..."

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

  As he expected, this is the first issue of "Qingquan City Daily".

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

  Watching Chu Guang's expression all the time, old Charlie continued with a serious expression.

   "I found this newspaper at a newsstand near the Merchant Union this morning. I asked the stall owner where he got the goods, but the stall owner scratched the back of his head and told me that he didn't remember buying this newspaper."

   Paused, old Charlie continued.

"Later, I asked the employees of the Merchant Union to visit and investigate various newsstands in Dawn City, and found that more than 80% of the newsstands were selling this unknown "Qingquan City Daily", and the stall owners couldn't explain it clearly. Where the **** did the paper come from...it seemed to appear at their booth out of nowhere."

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

"It's not surprising. Except for the largest-selling "Survivor Daily" which has its own distributor, most of the newsstands in Dawn City have signed an agreement with the printing factory. Two days of newspapers, and then arrange vehicles to be delivered to various outlets before the morning peak. Maybe someone inserted this batch of goods into the truck out of the printing factory, and the newspapers were naturally scattered to various stalls."

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

   Not to mention the "Qingquan City Daily", except for the well-known "Survivor's Daily" and serial novels, they may not necessarily know how many newspapers are on the booth.

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

  Chu Guang could guess what their purpose was with his feet.

  It is nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of public panic to obstruct the ecological protection zone established by the Alliance in the East District of Qingquan City.

  As for deeper motives, there are more possibilities.

  He was actually a little curious, what was it that was worth their money, and at the risk of annoying the alliance.

  Looking at the indifferent smile on Chu Guang's face, old Charlie was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why such a big incident happened, and the respected Mr. Manager was still smiling.

  Worried that Chu Guang didn't realize the seriousness of this matter, old Charlie couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and said seriously.

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

   Paused, he continued seriously.

   "We must take immediate action! At least recall the newspapers that are being sold on the market before public opinion ferments!"

  Chu Guang asked casually.

   "After the recall?"

  Old Charlie was taken aback for a moment, but he still thought of an idea quickly.

   "We should establish a stricter publication review mechanism, at least to prevent similar situations from happening again, and find the person behind this matter, especially the publisher of the "Qingquan City Daily"—"

   Chu Guang smiled and shook his head.

  Close the "Qingquan City Daily" in his hand, and he returned it to old Charlie.

   "I understand what you mean. The person behind this matter is very smart, but the method is not very clever."

"They underestimated the solidarity of all segments of our society, the trust of the residents who live here after a victory, and even made more than one common-sense error in their interviews. This set in Old Boulder The city is feasible, but on us, it will only be their own who will become a joke."

"Our supporters are not so easy to fool. What we have to do now is to hold our ground and don't panic because of the opponent's lame tricks. If it is true as you said, it will take a lot of trouble to recall the newspaper. Shaking those who support us...the guy in the shadows can only be happy."

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

   Those guys are usually very clever, especially in the storm of Boulder City last year.

  However, this time they seemed to be blind. Such a big thing happened in the East District of Qingquan City, and they didn't report a single word!

  Chu Guang originally thought that the report hadn't been written yet, but it turned out that it had been two days. Instead of holding back their farts, they let a small newspaper that came out of nowhere take the lead.

  As a semi-official media, what it should do is respond to public doubts with objective and notarized reports, otherwise what is the use of it?

  Is it placed as a vase?

  Chu Guang didn't believe that his residents only cared about the food at the celebration, and didn't care about the downtown of Qingquan City and the ecological protection zone in the East District.

   At most, it was out of trust in him, thinking that he must have a solution, so no one raised it.

   Did not respond to the doubts in the hearts of the residents of the alliance in the first place, and the big pot "Survivor Daily" must not be able to escape.

  Chu Guang plans to talk to the editor-in-chief soon, and ask him what he thinks.

Of course.

  The "Qingquan City Daily" that came out of nowhere, can't just leave it alone and let it fart indiscriminately.

   Chu Guang looked at Lu Bei who was on the side, and instructed.

   "The photo should have been taken yesterday. You can go to the local troops and ask for me who approached the East District of Qingquan City yesterday, and what their identities are... just remember to ask clearly, and don't take any action for now."

   It is inevitable that the ecological protection area in the East District of Qingquan City will attract the attention of other survivor forces. Maybe even the spies of the legion have arrived in Dawn City.

  But those guys are very smart, they just watched secretly from the sidelines, and didn't rashly make any moves that might expose themselves.

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

   This matter must be investigated!

  Lv Bei became serious when he heard the words, and immediately stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"yes!"

  Compared to the scientific research cooperation agreement between the alliance and the academy, a mere fabricated report is nothing but a trivial matter.

  Although old Charlie looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, to be honest, Chu Guang didn't take it very seriously.

to be honest.

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

   Anyone who has stayed in Dawn City knows what the **** the East District of Qingquan City is like, and basically no one is willing to go except players.

  Survivors who were forced to leave their homes...

   This sounds too nonsense.

   After explaining to Lu Bei, Chu Guang went back to the shelter and discussed with Yin Fang about setting up a special zone in the Wandering Swamp and academic visits and exchanges.

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

  Looking at the "hot" content in the newspaper, Yi Chuan involuntarily widened his eyes, and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

  “…The brood that was located in the city center was moved to the east area of ​​Qingquan City by the alliance manager to raise it in captivity, and used evil forces to drive its fruiting body for its own use?”

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

   "What the **** are you writing about?!"

   Captive brood?

  He didn't even know that their partners still had this ability!

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

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

   Now that the alliance has completely solved the troubles that the post-war reconstruction committee failed to solve, this news made the entire council of the enterprise look at the alliance with admiration.

However, the council still has a lot of doubts about how the alliance will solve the tide crisis, how to eliminate the brood in the city center, and how to ensure that the brood will not be reborn repeatedly like before, etc. Hope to get an answer through diplomatic channels.

  Especially recently, the council intends to cooperate more deeply with the alliance on issues related to mutant slime mold. Some radical council members even proposed to simply outsource the brood clearing work of the province between clouds to the alliance.

  In order to provide more information to the council, Yi Chuan, who is the ambassador of the enterprise to the alliance, ordered his secretary to purchase some newspapers outside.

   As a result, that guy went for a long time, and he brought back just a few fooling things.

  Looking at the secretary standing by the desk, Yi Chuan squeezed his brows with a headache and said.

   "I asked you to buy some newspapers that reported news about 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, but he still wanted to defend himself, so he coughed lightly and said.

   "This is the only newspaper on the market that can find reports on the whereabouts of the East District of Qingquan City and the brood...Other newspapers mentioned related news about the wave and the brood, basically quoting the report from Survivor Daily."

  Yi Chuan was stunned when he heard the words.

   "What about the Daily Survivor?"

  The secretary continued with a subtle expression.

"The headline of the latest issue of "Survivor's Daily" is mainly about the upcoming celebration, and did not mention the details of the alliance in the previous wave battle, nor did it mention the ecological protection area in the east area of ​​Qingquan City. The relevant news seems to be Blocked, I speculate that the league officials put pressure on the "Daily Survivor" to let them downplay the news in this regard...perhaps for the purpose of confidentiality."

  Secret?

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

  What is there to keep secret?

If the alliance really masters the method to crack 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 related to the future of all mankind .

  Shouldn't this kind of thing be shown off with great fanfare?

  The secretary continued with a subtle expression.

   "Is there a possibility...the facts are as described in this report, but not so exaggerated? And this newspaper was actually released by the Alliance on purpose?"

  Yi Chuan did not directly refute this time.

  His index finger tapped lightly on the table, and said after a moment of pondering.

   "What is the basis for speculation?"

  The secretary analyzed slowly.

   "Currently the entire east district of Qingquan City is under the military control of 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 take them, they will not be able to bring them out."

  This statement is reasonable.

   Yi Chuan nodded.

  Although he has never 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 about feasibility.

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

  Secretary: "Desensitization."

  Yi Chuan froze for a moment.

   "Desensitization?"

  The secretary nodded and continued.

   "On some sensitive issues, first throw out a seemingly unreliable news, and when everyone is surprised, clarify that things are not that exaggerated."

  A shrewdness flashed in Yi Chuan's eyes.

   "Before you opened a window, you announced that you were going to take the roof off?"

"That's right," the secretary nodded, "I speculate that they should have mastered some kind of technology that can control the brood... This should not be as simple as simple mind control. We have tested that mind control is ineffective against mutant slime molds of."

  Seeing 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 means that they are ready to make it public, otherwise this smoke bomb will be a bit redundant."

   "So I speculate that they may also be taking this opportunity to release a signal of cooperation."

   "In addition, I heard...the representative of the academy seems to have appeared near the Union Building today, that B-level researcher who has been peeping from the side."

  As soon as Yi Chuan heard this sentence, he immediately pushed aside his chair and stood up, and patted the newspaper he had thrown on the table with his right hand.

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

  The secretary nodded.

   "I'm going!"
