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 the east district of Qingquan City."

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

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

The first part first reveals 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 move all the fruiting entities 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 gave.

However, in the second part, the content gradually became strange.

This part of the content cleverly points the finger at the alliance authorities, using Mohu's evidence and the so-called citing of insider information to fabricate out of thin air the alliance through some unknown means to reach an agreement with the Brood in the center of Qingquan City. , thus 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 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 in Qingquan City moved to Dawn City or Boulder City during the Bone Chewing Rebellion.

There are very few solitary survivors wandering the wasteland around Qingquan City, let alone the eastern suburbs of Qingquan City 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 sentence.

"The bomb was not defused, but was moved from one frame to another. It is right next to us, and it may explode at any time, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Victory obtained by compromise is not a real victory. This war will never end if we don't clear out every last one of those slime molds..."

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 City 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 the market.

Keeping observing Chu Guang's expression, old Charlie continued with a serious expression.

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

After a pause, Old Charlie continued.

"Later, I asked employees of the Hongshang Trade Union to visit and investigate various newsstands in Shuguang City, and found that more than 80% of the newsstands were selling the "Qingquan City Daily" of unknown origin, and the stall owners could not explain it clearly. Where on earth did this newspaper come from... It's like it just 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 for the next two days were arranged for vehicles to be delivered to various outlets before the morning rush hour. Maybe someone inserted this batch of goods into the truck leaving the printing factory, and the newspapers were naturally scattered to various stalls. "

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

Not even mentioning the "Qingquan City Daily", except for the well-known "Survivor Daily" and serials, they may not know how many newspapers are on the 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 guess what their purpose was with his feet.

It is nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of public panic and obstruct the ecological protection zone established by the alliance in the east district of Qingquan City.

As for deeper motivations, there are even more possibilities.

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

Seeing the unconcerned smile on Chu Guang's face, old Charlie was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the respected manager could still laugh after such a big thing happened.

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, not only your prestige will be affected." If it is affected, the regional prestige and influence of the entire alliance will also be affected!"

After a pause, he continued seriously.

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

Chu Guang asked casually.

"What about after the recall?"

Old Charlie was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came up with an idea.

"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 City Daily"-"

Chu Guang smiled and shook his head.

Closing the "Qingquan City Daily" in his hand, he 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 clever."

"They underestimated the unity of all sectors of 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 is in the old monolith The city is feasible, but when it comes to us, 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, it will To sway those 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 very clever, and they especially stole the show during last year's turmoil in Boulder City.

However, this time they seemed to be blind. Such a big thing happened in the East District of Qingquan City, but not a word was reported!

Chu Guang originally thought that the report had not been written yet, but it turned out that it had been two days, and not only did they not hold it in, but they also let a small newspaper appear out of nowhere and beat them to it.

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

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 ecological reserves in the center of Qingquan City and the East District.

At most, it was out of trust in him, thinking that he must have a solution, so no one suggested 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 soon and ask him what he thought.

Of course.

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

Chu Guang looked at Lu Bei on the side and ordered.

"The photo should have been taken yesterday. Go to the local troops for me and ask them 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 the time being. "

It is inevitable that the ecological reserve in the east district of Qingquan City 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 make people uncomfortable 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 college, 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 didn't pay much attention to it.

to be honest.

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

Anyone who has stayed in Dawn 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.

However, 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.

watching

Yi Chuan's eyes widened involuntarily at the "explosive" content in the newspaper, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

"...the mother nest that was previously located in the city center was moved to the east district of Qingquan City by the alliance administrators to be raised in captivity, and its fruiting entities were driven for their own use through evil power?"

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

"What the hell is this written?!"

Captive brood?

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

Since the wave began, companies have been paying attention to its progress.

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

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

However, the council still has a lot of doubts about how the alliance solves the wave crisis, how to eliminate the brood in the city center, and how to ensure that the brood will not be reborn again and again like before. I hope we can get an answer 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 settlement of the Brood Nest 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 pieces of Hu Nonggui stuff.

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, but 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 the Brood Nest... Other newspapers that mentioned information about the wave and the Brood Nest basically quoted reports from the "Daily Survivor"."

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 latest issue of "Survivor Daily" is mainly about the upcoming celebration. It does not mention the details of the alliance in the previous wave battle, nor does it mention the ecological reserve in the east district of Qingquan City. The relevant news seems to have been It’s blocked. I speculate that the league officials put pressure on the Daily Survivor to keep this information confidential...perhaps for the purpose of keeping it confidential.”

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 survivors in the entire wasteland will come to learn from them, and even the Legion may lower their proud heads... After all, this is about the future of all mankind. issue.

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 on the table, pondered for a moment and then said.

"What's the basis for the speculation?"

The secretary analyzed slowly.

"Currently, the entire eastern 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, 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 when everyone is shocked, clarify that the matter is actually not that exaggerated."

Yi Chuan's eyes flashed with shrewdness.

"Before you open a window, you first announce that you're going to lift the roof?"

"That's right," the secretary nodded, "I speculate that they must have mastered some kind of technology that can control the mother nest... This should not be as simple as simple mind control. We have tested that mind control is effective against mutant slime mold. Invalid."

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

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

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

"Also, I heard... representatives from the academy seemed to have appeared near the Alliance Building today, and that B-level researcher has been peeping nearby."

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

"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!"
