"...Concerning the explosion that occurred at the refinery in the industrial zone at noon today, Kangtao Company has announced that it will set up a special investigation team to give citizens an effective answer."
"Also, citizens please do not panic. Under the leadership of Ms. Xu Wanmeng, the heiress of our Kangtao Company, the explosion has not caused any casualties. All residents living in the local area have been properly resettled and evacuated. Ms. Xu Wanmeng
We also strongly stated that we will provide all the victims with due compensation so that they will no longer be displaced because of this accident..."
"Due to the leakage of chemical substances from the refinery, the area within ten kilometers of the industrial zone will be listed as the hardest hit area. Unrelated people are also asked not to go to this area."
"For those people who are displaced and unable to return home due to accidents, Kangtao Company will do its best to maintain their daily living standards. Now the Human Resources Department of Kangtao Company has issued an announcement to recruit volunteers. Interested viewers can
Call...the phone number and do your part to help those who are suffering from unreasonable disasters..."
...
...
At night, the 63rd floor of the Kangtao Company employee apartment building.
Lin Mo was sitting leisurely on the sofa, holding a glass of iced Coke in one hand and enjoying it slowly, while holding a few French fries in the other hand and enjoying it happily.
After all, he had been tired all day long, so it was a good pleasure to eat some cheap fast food occasionally.
And tonight, he was rarely in a mood to sit in front of the TV screen and watch these boring news programs.
After all, the events reported above are all his "great achievements" in a sense, so what reason does he have not to read them.
It's just... I've been watching the news for so long tonight, and there doesn't seem to be any content about him.
Didn't the Kangtao heiress say that he would be wanted by the whole city?
Why is no news revealed at all now?
Before that, Lin Mo had thought of seeing him on the news program, so that he could judge how much information Kang Tao had collected about himself.
But now it seems...the other party doesn't seem to be planning to reveal his information to the public...
Just when Lin Mo was thinking, Liu Ruoying's voice sounded beside him:
"No wonder I was catching up on my sleep at noon today when I suddenly heard an explosion and the whole building started to shake. I thought it was an earthquake at the time."
She was lying on the sofa acting like a salted fish, and she stretched out her hand furtively in an attempt to steal some French fries from Lin Mo's fast food carton.
Lin Mo calmly slapped her palm away, causing her to curl her lips in disgust.
"Are you so stingy?" she said gloomily.
"Eat less, the New Year has just passed, don't you know you have gained weight?" Lin Mo said nonchalantly.
"Do you think I'm a sow? You actually use words like "get fat" to humiliate me?" Liu Ruoying opened her eyes wide and pointed to her nose, as if I was not someone to be bullied.
Lin Mo sighed and simply sent the remaining French fries and chicken nuggets to Liu Ruoying's side: "Here you go."
"Thank you." Liu Ruoying immediately took the snack carton with a smile on her face, no longer looking annoyed at all.
"I'm going back to the room first. This is what I saw on TV tonight. When my sister comes home later, please tell her that I went back to the room to sleep." Lin Mo got up from the sofa and poured out the last Coke.
Finished in one go.
"Ah... are you going back to the room so soon?" Liu Ruoying looked disappointed. She secretly observed Lin Mo's face and said in a low voice, "Did I make you unhappy by eating your French fries?"
"I'm not the kind of stingy person. The main reason is that I've almost finished watching the news. It's time for me to go back to the room and play games." Lin Mo patted his clothes and shook any possible food crumbs to the floor.
He is not worried about whether this behavior is unhygienic, because no matter what kind of stains there are on the floor, the smart cleaning robot at home will clean the floor as smooth as a mirror.
"Are you playing that actual combat simulation game again? What's so fun about that kind of fighting and killing game?" Liu Ruoying grumbled dissatisfied: "You might as well watch TV with me."
"Huh, I don't know who got me into this game in the first place..." Lin Mo glanced at her.
Liu Ruoying turned her face away silently, not wanting to pay attention to him.
She is not a fighting madman like Lin Mo. She mainly plays games to keep herself fresh. After playing for a long time, she no longer has much interest in this kind of actual combat games.
Lin Mo didn't want to continue talking nonsense with her, so he took a step back to his room.
...
...
Back in the room, Lin Mo walked to his desk as usual, took out a few pieces of white paper from the drawer, and began to organize today's thoughts on it.
He originally planned to discuss what happened today with Xu Wanxue tonight, but as a result, due to such a serious accident in Shenyang Industrial Zone, Xu Wanxue, who is a company executive and a member of the Xu family, had to stay tonight
There was a meeting in the company.
Therefore, Lin Mo could only choose to go back to the room by himself and summarize what happened today.
"The first is the Kangtao heiress...Xu Wanmeng, the eldest daughter of the Xu family of the same generation as my elder sister, and the granddaughter of Xu Shiming, the leader of the Kangtao company. I have to say it is really fate..." Lin
Mo murmured to himself, his tone was quite emotional.
Thinking back to when he was in Night City, Xu Wanxue once mentioned it to him during a conversation one night.
At that time, he thought that he would not have much contact with Xu Shiming's granddaughter. However, fate was unpredictable, and now he got her phone number instead.
"But what if I get the phone number? It's probably impossible for me to dial this number." Lin Mo shook his head and turned his attention to the explosion at noon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regarding the explosion in the oil refinery, after what happened at noon, Lin Mo can basically confirm that this accident was definitely not caused by man.
After all, he chose to cause trouble at the oil refinery and used it as an opportunity to disperse the surrounding people.
If this accident was man-made, why did the manipulator behind it watch them evacuate people?
Secondly, even though everyone in the factory was driven away, the accident still happened, which also shows that the reason behind it is not that simple.
The action at noon seemed to be Lin Mo's plan, but in fact, he was also gambling.
He also didn't understand what the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes was.
The other party's goal may be to retaliate against society, or it may be to murder someone. However, even if the people were evacuated, the other party did not choose to detonate the refinery in advance, which shows that the goal of the mastermind behind the scenes is not just to harm people.
This rigid but principled behavior once again made Lin Mo turn his suspicions to AI.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, Kangtao Company can cooperate with Auto to build a ghost town for AIs to live in HK. They and the AIs at least have a cooperative relationship... But why does this happen?
?" Lin Mo whispered in confusion.
He had a hunch that today's explosion was just the beginning, and even bigger events might happen in the future.
Moreover, these plots are not revealed at all in Cyberpunk 2077, and he cannot predict what will happen in the future through the information he obtained in the game.
"Forget it, let's keep this doubt for now and think more about AI in the future." Lin Mo casually wrote down his thoughts on the paper to facilitate his own analysis and thinking.
"If nothing else happens, I will sign up as an aid volunteer tomorrow, go to the industrial area to continue to explore information, and do what I can by the way..."
"I don't know if this kind of selfless dedication hidden behind the scenes can impress the simulator... A hero who saved countless people, in the end, still silently protected the people behind the scenes... Such a touching act, given
The simulation evaluation shouldn’t be too bad, and it would be even better if you can get expertise point rewards!”
...
...
At the same time, in a rented apartment in Yanjing, the capital of China.
A girl with twin ponytails was sitting on the sofa, looking attentively at the TV screen in front of her.
After a long time, she shouted loudly: "Lucy, Sasha, you two come out quickly!"
After a while, the doors of the two bedrooms opened at the same time, and the two white-haired women walked out of their respective rooms.
Sasha yawned, looked sleepily at the girl with twin tails who was staying in the living room and was "staying up late to cultivate immortality", and asked a little tiredly: "Rebecca, what happened when you called us over? Or is it?
Did you say you found traces of him?"
Lucy didn't speak, just looked at Rebecca sitting on the sofa calmly, wanting an explanation.
"You guys watch the news first." Rebecca pointed to the TV screen.
The two of them looked at the news channel.
"An oil refinery in Shenyang exploded... Is there anything wrong with this news?" Sasha asked blankly.
"That's not the point. The point is that with Xiao Lin Mo's temperament that loves to join in the fun, if such a big event happens in this city called Shenyang, others might stay there in Shenyang?" Rebecca said enthusiastically.
As soon as these words came out, the two white-haired girls' eyes lit up.
