Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning of the Wolf Smoke

Although Lin Weisheng swore that a big man like Edmund Dayne would never participate in this death match, Shen Yi always felt a strange sense of unease in his heart.

This sense of unease is not an unwarranted intuition, but an understanding of war.

In a war, the decisive factor is not only strength, but also the price you are willing to bear for victory.

The so-called barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, and sometimes this is the truth.

Although the alliance of the three major organizations is secret, it may not be able to deceive the Purgatory Sect; the joint action of the interstellar world may not be able to stop Edmund, but may give him clues to discover the problem; the cooperation of the three regions may not be able to increase much strength, but there is a possibility of shirking responsibility.

Everyone wants others to be cannon fodder, and everyone doesn't want to be cannon fodder themselves.

In short, there are hidden dangers lurking behind all seemingly good plans, the only difference is whether they are discovered, whether they are exploited, and whether they are deadly enough.

But Shen Yi can't be sure of all this.

There are too many possible development directions for a thing, and there are always various changes due to people, events, times and places, and any utopian inferences that lack foundation are unreliable in themselves.

I still have to go to scout once, Shen Yi thought.

At this moment, a pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky in the distance.

The scene of this pillar of light was so familiar that Shen Yi recognized it at a glance: "Tongtian Bridge!"

"That's the Sky Bridge?" Lin Weisheng's face also sank slightly.

As soon as the West Side entered the mission world, it used the Sky Bridge for the first time.

Shen Yi had already turned around and shouted: "Yimida, use satellite positioning to find their location!"

"I'm in the middle of it!" Imida replied aloud, her hands unfurled.

Since the western area had to build a shrine before using the bridge, it was a little slower, and Imida had already completed the work of releasing and connecting the satellites.

Satellite footage began to transmit, and a tall building had dimly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but something seemed to be flashing, and it was impossible to see the scene inside.

Imida shouted, "They used shielding, I can't see what's inside." ”

"What kind of building is that, and how far is it from here?" Shen Yi asked, pointing to the building.

"Data is being collected...... It was the business building of the Coast Group of Companies, at the end of 12th Street on Kenterrow Avenue, twenty kilometers away!"

Shen Yi quickly took out a communicator and threw an Imida: "I'll go see their situation and keep in touch with me!"

As he spoke, he quickly rushed out of the rooftop, jumped out of the tall building, and the man pulled a long phantom in the air like a cannonball, and then landed on a flying car.

――――――――――

Sally Michelle put the report on Carl's desk and said nothing.

She had a hunch.

Whenever she puts her heart and soul into something, it means that the thing itself is so bad that it can't be worse.

Behind his desk, Carl was crossing his legs.

The bald head was shiny and shiny, like a freshly oiled white-skinned egg.

He didn't even glance at the report, and said in a dissatisfied manner:

"I think you should know that your story was four days short of the deadline I requested. ”

"Yes, sir. Sally replied helplessly.

Then I think you should also understand that the value of a piece of news is directly proportional to the speed at which it is broadcast. It's hard to imagine any value in a story that took four days to complete!I can't describe disappointment with your work!" Carl's anger swooped down on Sally like a bullet.

"But a good report needs to be verified and verified by many parties. I'm sure it takes only 10 minutes to understand the situation, and another 3 minutes to write a story that isn't readable. ”

"Oh, God, poor Michelle, I don't think you understand the real point of the news. You have to remember that in the news industry, speed is everything, speed is quality, speed is the guarantee of sales, and it is the only key to attracting attention. The public doesn't need real and detailed things, they just need to know what is happening in the world in time and not why it's happening. They don't need to know what the world is made of, they just need to know what the world is like. No Insider, Sally, digging up the Insider is a thankless job. The inside story may be able to get you to heaven in one step, but it can also get you to hell. You'll pay a heavy price for your inside story, for your detailed information, only to find yourself with nothing in the end. Don't be under the illusion of being a good journalist, you're not that kind of material. Doing the job assigned to you by your boss is the whole point of working here. Do you understand?" Karl said earnestly, staring at Sally.

Sally Michelle rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh. "It doesn't match my ideals at all when I came here to work. ”

"Ideals are always at odds with reality. Don't blame me for not reminding you, your internship is coming to an end in two days. If you can't come up with a news piece that can be featured in the last two days, then you will only be a passer-by here for the new express. ”

Karl rang the bell on the table and beckoned the next one to come in.

He waved his hand for Sally to get out, and Sally shouted almost angrily, "I've interviewed at least twenty survivors for this story, and I'm sure this wasn't a simple accident." Give me some time, Carl, I can find out the truth behind it!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Michelle. Carl said expressionlessly.

Sally reluctantly picked up her report. "You'll regret it, Carl," she said. ”

Leaving the office building, Sally spun aimlessly around in a flying car. The guiding ideology of commercial interests above all else makes the press and publishing work devote all its energy to searching rather than digging for news.

Since the new newspaper has adopted electronic information devices, an electronic newspaper can hold millions of words of information and thousands of pictures. Of course, at least half of them are advertisements. Still, the amount of information available in the newspapers is overwhelming. Publishing such a huge amount of information every day is a huge undertaking for any newspaper. Because of this, a journalist is responsible for at least ten or more stories a day.

There is no doubt that Sally's philosophy of journalism is not suited to the fast-paced work of today's time.

However, the requirement for new employees is that they must have at least one article within a three-month working day, which is enough for the page manager to put it on the index headline of the electronic newspaper.

"The conscience of media reporters should be to dig deep into the inside story and the truth, not to create lies and fabricate them in an assembly-line manner for the sake of sensationalism, and those guys who only know how to spread rumors and make up stories all day long should go to hell!" Sally angrily drove away in a flying car.

No sooner had she flown out of the building than she heard a loud bang on the roof of the car.

The body shuddered, and was smashed by the weight and dropped a full ten feet.

Then she saw a head peeking out of the roof of the car.

"Hey, miss, do you mind a free ride?" Shen Yi said.

―――――――――――――

On another building, which was also twenty kilometers away from the headquarters of the New Express, Hua Tianrui was also looking at the pillar of light in the distance and was silent.

Sun Ying walked over and stood beside him: "It's Tongtianqiao, they're here." ”

"Yes. Hua Tianrui sighed softly, but did not show anything.

"Do you want to send someone to take a look, who are the people here?" Sun Ying asked.

Hua Tianrui replied casually: "There's no need for that, just leave this matter to the fourth sister-in-law." ”

"But......" Sun Ying's brows furrowed slightly.

Hua Tianrui turned his head sideways and looked at Sun Ying: "What, don't worry about the ability of the fourth sister-in-law?"

Sun Ying shook her head: "I just think it seems to be slower." The fourth sister-in-law is in the enemy camp, and it is always a little inconvenient to pass on the news. ”

Hua Tianrui smiled, and he patted Sun Ying on the shoulder: "Be patient." In a war, victory is always preferred to the patient side. ”

Coincidentally, when Shen Yi defined the prerequisite conditions for victory, Hua Tianrui also made a note on the conditions for victory.

Although the premise of victory given by both sides is different, they are exactly in line with their own characteristics.

Shen Yi has a businessman's temperament in his bones, so in his eyes, victory is like a commodity, and the person who wins is usually the person with the highest bid.

For Hua Tianrui, who has the ability to move between the real and the unreal, victory is like planting a tree and raising seedlings. Before you get the fruit, you must cultivate it carefully before you can reap the rewards.

It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, the highest bidder may not get the goods, and the fruit tree growers may not necessarily get the fruit, but for these two people, these things are like laws, and they have never been disappointed.

When two laws collide together, it is destined that one will always be broken.

"The problem is that some people don't seem to be patient. Lonely said suddenly.

His gaze looked north.

There, a cloud of dust and smoke suddenly rose into the sky, like a tornado, blowing wildly ahead.

Hua Tianrui's eyes narrowed: "It's him......"

He was always full of confidence, calm and calm eyes, but suddenly flickered a few times, and there was a trace of scruples.

If there was anyone he didn't want to face in this war, the wolf-like and ferocious guy was undoubtedly the first in line.

The wolf smoke in the sky was gathering thicker and thicker, and it gradually manifested into a giant wolf posture, letting out a crazy howl at the sky.

Looking at this scene, his arrogant face also twitched slightly: "Wolf smoke condensation...... This bastard, his strength has increased again, is he strengthened by a rocket? How can he improve so quickly?"

"Specializing in martial arts, obsessed with war, although the brain is simpler because of this, it has also gained absolute strength. Hua Tianrui muttered: "But I was able to defeat you last time, this time...... It's going to be okay!"

Hua Tianrui said, involuntarily clenched his fist and punched it hard in the palm of his hand.

Meanwhile.

Underneath the wolf smoke, a black teenager was running with all his might, emitting smoke all over his body, becoming the source of the wolf smoke.

He galloped among the tall buildings, like walking on the ground, like a black arrow shooting forward.
