As night approaches, the Night City returns to a spectacular scene of bright lights. The blurred lights are like pearls reflected in the eyes of a beautiful woman. They are both beautiful and greedy.
Today's news information has begun to be broadcast on the TV sets in every household. In addition, there are also some interview-type variety and gossip programs.
These programs are often an important channel for Night City residents to understand the conditions of various districts in the city.
Most of the poor families who have no way to pay for TV service, or those who want to save a lot of extra expenses, can only watch such information service programs compulsorily.
Of course, these programs are definitely not free.
The reason why it is mandatory is because the fees for these programs have been included in residents' "rent" and "public service fees" and are mandatory to be paid to major media companies.
Unless you have no fixed abode and can only wander on the streets, even if you don’t have a TV installed in your home, TV screens that can play programs can still be found everywhere.
——In the elevator room, on the support of the vendor stall, on the wall of the corridor...
These TV screens installed in various public places usually broadcast various information service programs thoughtfully to prevent the residents of Night City from being unaware of the various major events happening in the city.
It is this kind of compulsory fee-based service that is hated by many poor families, but tonight many residents chose to watch it with great interest.
Because the news information broadcast today is no longer boring news such as "a certain company has developed a new product" or "where a crime occurred and how many people died". Instead, it makes many people worried, worried and interested.

——"Is Hansen, the leader of Dog Town, the murderer of the president?"
After these days of news broadcasts and the plane crash that shocked the whole city and shocked the world, almost all residents of Night City have learned that the new American President Miles "crashed" in Dog Town.
Although many ordinary residents bluntly stated that "this is not something that those of us with a monthly salary of less than 3K should consider."
But such a big event still attracts the continued attention of many people.
After all, if Colonel Hansen is convicted of "attacking the president", New America and the United States will have every reason to send armed forces to retaliate against Dog Town.
If things go wrong, this may turn into a war that affects ordinary people, and they, assholes, can't help but pay attention.
And the most important point is that the noon news during the day has reported another "missile attack" in the Dog Town area. It is said that this is inseparable from the missile that attacked the president's plane a few days ago.
Tonight is the day when the leader of Dog Town, Colonel Hansen, gives a public speech on this incident.
After so many days, the people are already very familiar with Colonel Hansen.
Even if some people didn't know who this guy was before, now after hearing and seeing the news for several days, most people have some understanding of this colonel.
Moreover, in order to prove his innocence, the colonel also allowed various media to follow him, film and broadcast almost all of his daily schedule. How could he not let people know about his deeds?
If it weren't for a muscular man like Hansen, it would be hard for people to sympathize with and admire the iron-blooded dictator. With so many days of news broadcasts and uninterrupted footage, he might be able to become a popular star.
Already.
So with the expectations of many residents, today's news program finally started.
...
"Welcome to WNS News, I am the host Arif Iqbal, and the news focus I bring to you today is the missile attack in Dog Town."
"Yes, you heard it right. An abandoned building in the Dog Town area of Midnight City was attacked by a missile from an unknown organization today. According to eyewitnesses who cannot be disclosed for the time being, the missile was as big as a person tall.
It is powerful enough to destroy the main structure of an entire building."
"As you can see, this is the scene shot by our news reporters stationed in Dog Town. After the building was hit by a missile, it fell into a burning state for nearly four hours. Fortunately, the building did not
No one was injured and no innocent people were harmed."
"However, although the missile did not harm innocent people, more than 20 bodies were found at the scene. After investigation by reporters, it was found that before the missile struck, two groups of unknown militants had a fierce gun battle in the building.
... It is currently suspected that one of the gangs chose to launch missiles and die with the enemy after their entire army was wiped out."
"Colonel Hansen, the leader of Dog Town, announced that he will hold a press conference tonight to bring you the entire incident."
"Next is our advertising time, please wait a moment, we are about to show you the scene of the press conference."
The polite host briefly summarized today's news report. After he nodded slightly, the TV program suddenly changed into an advertisement screen.
...
"It seems that the bad things we did have not been exposed by the people from Xinmei."
In the small studio building of Mission Beach in Santo Domingo, various members of the Mann team who were on vacation stayed in the rest area and watched the news on the TV as if nothing had happened.
Mann held a small drink in his hand and leaned on the sofa with a look of enjoyment on his face. His eyes were a bit drunk, and he asked and answered himself:
"But it's normal that they didn't react. They were the ones who launched the missile. Now they suddenly jumped out angrily. Isn't that just to identify themselves as the real culprits who launched the missile?"
His legs were draped on the other side of the sofa, where a tall blonde woman was also sitting.
Dolio smiled and rubbed Mann's legs, while echoing: "Why did your brain suddenly become brighter? You can still think of this."
"What's wrong, Dolio, do you want to say that I was stupid before?" Mann scolded with a smile and took another sip of wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He glanced at the people in the hall and smiled drunkenly:
"Hehe, now that our team has grown to this size, we have done great things, and met many big people, of course I will also grow a bit..."
"Yes, yes." Dolio said condescendingly.
Mann looked at David who was watching the news on the other sofa and said with a smile:
"Thinking about it carefully, in the past, I seemed to just run forward, keep running, and when I couldn't run anymore, I would implant a better prosthetic body. I couldn't see the end point in the distance... But now, I seem to be able to see
The end in the distance is waving to me..."
He raised his hand, his eyes suddenly became a little blurry, and the vision in front of him seemed to be an endless desert wasteland.
The sky is filled with yellow sand in the wasteland, and the whole world seems to be divided into blue and yellow, which is the clear blue sky and the dry, dark yellow sand.
The whole world is so monotonous, but in the distance of the wasteland there is a little more different color, and a red line representing the end point seems to be vaguely visible.
"The end point?" Dolio murmured to herself, and then asked curiously: "What is the end point you envision?"
"Who knows, wouldn't you know it if you ran over?" Mann answered casually, tilted his head, and actually fell asleep.
"This guy is like a pig." Dolio cursed with a smile, then looked curiously at the teammates in the hall and asked:
"What do you think? About this end point."
"The end? Isn't that just giving up and quitting?" Falco, a veteran professional driver in the team, smiled gently: "When you make enough money, you will naturally retire."
"Reconsideration." Hacker Qiwei raised her hand and spoke concisely.
"Me? Buy a beach villa and go there to enjoy the rest of your life." T-BUG, who has always been working behind the scenes and never showed up, providing remote hacking assistance to the team, said with a smile.
"Go back to...the institute and work as a volunteer." The big gecko said.
"I have no end, because I want to taste the world's most fantastic erotic movies, and have all the world's flexible prosthetic hands!" Pila leaned back, her hands swinging back and forth uncontrollably.
It seems that everyone's "end point" is quite realistic... Dolio smiled and looked at the last person:
"What about you, David, where is your end?"
David, who was watching the news, raised his eyebrows. When he turned around, he saw everyone looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"The end point... Well, I should have different answers to this question at different times. In the past, I just wanted to join Arasaka Company and become a supervisor or something. Now..."
