Kapitel 10: The Fate of the Workers
"Shit!"
Anton could not help but curse, suppressing his anger and patiently admonishing: "We must find a way to find out Eddie's situation, and it would be best to find a chance to bring him out, understand?"
"Got it, we will do it."
Phil quickly agreed, his tone trembling.
He once again felt the importance of this investigation, and realized how much Eddie had sacrificed by not letting him sneak into the homeless shelter, but choosing to do it himself. In
the past few days when Eddie was out of contact, Phil had been feeling guilty.
He believed that if he had not suggested to Eddie to sneak into the homeless shelter, Eddie would not have risked returning to San Francisco.
"Mr. Anton, please rest assured, I will do my best to rescue Editor-in-Chief Eddie."
Phil promised again.
Hearing the boy's determination, Anton encouraged him a few words and hung up the phone.
After learning about the situation, he was filled with lingering boredom, and thinking that the Batman novel had been published, he simply called Betty.
Betty answered in seconds.
"Anton, I'm off work!"
She complained helplessly.
"Workers have to learn to accept the reality of overtime."
Anton comforted Betty, with the awareness of being a boss, and then asked: "How is the novel going?"
"About one-third of the content has been serialized in the newspaper. It looks good now. Some readers have already sent letters to the newspaper, hoping that more words can be serialized every day."
Betty entered the working state and reported: "Affected by the novel, the daily sales of the newspaper have increased."
After a pause, she said: "By the way, as far as I know, pirated content of the novel has appeared on the Internet. Do we need to warn them?"
"The more pirated content, the better. This is a good thing."
Anton smiled and said: "However, you can open a new section on the official website of the Daily Bugle to serialize the content of the novel. Let the people in the technical department develop it quickly. It's not difficult."
"Understood."
Betty nodded, and then asked: "Anything else?"
"Arrange some water army, I need this novel to become popular as soon as possible."
Anton suddenly had an idea and said: "Connect the protagonist of Batman, Bruce Wayne, with Tony Stark, and seize this hot spot to hype it up."
"What?!"
Betty was surprised: "Are you sure you won't anger that playboy?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Anton said without hesitation, "Batman's movie is funded by Tony Stark, he won't care about this little detail. We're making money for him!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Betty was relieved and acted decisively.
After hanging up, Anton checked Batman's fan value and got a very intuitive number.
[32145]
It's a bit of a headache, the popularity difference is too big!
Fortunately, the system is relaxed, and the novice gift package gave the main template hero a fracture, otherwise the full 50 million fan value would really take a lot of time and energy to complete.
9.98 million!
Now it seems that there is only a difference of more than 9.94 million!
Since the first step has been taken, the next ninety-nine steps will wait for the movie to be released and form a hot spot, and the target task will definitely be completed quickly.
Anton's eyes were hot.
If he could exchange for Batman's armor template, he would not be so passive when facing the Life Foundation.
At this time, he felt very much like Eddie before he went to San Francisco.
This feeling of sitting in a safe area waiting for news and doing nothing is an incomparable torture.
...
San Francisco.
Homeless shelter.
Eddie's face was covered with dirt and he was smelly. He curled up in a corner and looked around timidly.
This was a group of people who were like zombies, lifeless and hopeless.
The anger was surging, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
After entering the homeless shelter for so long, he had the most intuitive understanding of the situation inside the homeless shelter.
It was not as perfect as the Life Foundation said in the press conference and news reports.
On the contrary, the homeless here had no dignity.
The San Francisco City Government treated this place as a social garbage dump, and no one cared about it since it was built.
The Life Foundation treated this place as a pig farm. From time to time, a truck came to trick the homeless into signing a volunteer agreement, and then dragged them onto the truck and took them away, and no one ever came back.
The staff said that these people have returned to normal life.
Eddie sneered.
He knew very well the fate of these people.
It was nothing more than becoming a human experiment subject of the Life Foundation, and even the most basic freedom could not be guaranteed.
Every day, he was locked in a cage isolated by transparent glass, and was studied like a rare animal.
"Carlton Drake!"
After seeing all this, Eddie's perception of Drake fell to the lowest point.
He wanted to expose all of Drake's crimes immediately.
The video materials about the homeless house had been recorded by the miniature camera he carried with him.
However, the smart Carlton Drake had foresight.
This area was covered by dense wireless signal jammers and lacked line support. Eddie could not get in touch with the outside world, and the video materials naturally could not be transmitted.
"If the information of the homeless house can be transmitted, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Life Foundation!"
Eddie thought: "At that time, it is not impossible to follow the clues and catch evidence of the Life Foundation's illegal human experiments."
He racked his brains to think about how to transmit information.
Boom!
Suddenly, a truck drove down the street.
There were armed security personnel on it, and their uniforms were completely different from those of the security guards of the Homeless Association.
Eddie's pupils shrank.
He knew that this truck belonged to the Life Foundation.
Needless to say, the security guards on it were also from the Life Foundation.
"They need more human test subjects again!"
Eddie's heartbeat quickened.
He had an exciting idea.
Why not just get in one step and sneak into the Life Foundation directly?
After thinking for a moment, fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Eddie swallowed his saliva, mustered up his courage, and walked towards the big truck.
Soon.
After finding enough volunteers, the truck carried the homeless people away from the homeless shelter.
Beep beep!
Outside the homeless shelter.
Phil's alarm sounded.
He was ecstatic and quickly took out his mobile phone. On the screen, a red dot belonging to the GPS positioning appeared and kept moving.
This was the signal source on Eddie!
He hurriedly got in the car, stepped on the accelerator, chased the signal source, and sped away.
A moment later, Phil, who was speeding all the way, saw the Life Foundation truck from a distance and became nervous again.
He guessed that Eddie was in that truck, and he also knew that the Life Foundation's security guards would not give him any chance to take Eddie away.
With an idea, he simply stepped on the accelerator again.
Bang! !
The car rear-ended the truck.
"Shit!"
The burly driver stopped the car, came to Phil, grabbed his collar, and angrily said, "Boy, how do you drive?"
"I, I, I, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Compared with the driver, Phil was like a little chicken.
He trembled and said, "I can pay you back, I'll give you all the money I have, please don't be so rude."
Then, he prepared to slowly approach the rear of the truck.
There was an open window for ventilation.
Eddie saw Phil and felt relieved. He threw the invisible camera out of the window without leaving a trace.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, another security guard came forward to check the situation.
"Business is more important, let's go."
The man glanced at Phil, didn't take it seriously, and patted the driver on the shoulder.
"You're lucky!"
The driver nodded, loosened his collar, said something impatiently, turned around and left, without giving Phil any chance to operate.
Bang!
The truck released unpleasant exhaust gas, spraying on Phil's face.
Phil looked wooden.
He didn't seize the opportunity, and Eddie was taken away.
Bang bang!!
"Damn it!"
Sitting back in the car, he slapped the steering wheel hard.
Phil hated his cowardice.
Suddenly he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
He was stunned.
He found that the signal source did not move.
Impossible!
The truck had obviously gone far away, how could the signal source still overlap with his own?
An idea came to his mind.
He quickly got out of the car, found the hidden camera that Eddie threw out, took out the memory card, and was extremely excited.
"It's saved!"
"Eddie is saved!"
Phil couldn't help but admire Eddie's wit, and called Anton in a panic.
