Chapter 114 Crime and Punishment 8 (Part 2)
"How's the situation?"
Mo Xiaolan watched worriedly. At the back door of the CBV building, many mutants carried a large amount of food on their backs. After the martial law started, even in some places where construction was still under way, no more than 20 people were allowed to gather in groups. Above.
Originally, if normal staff were working in the CBV building every day, there would be more than 12,000 people. Now, in order to avoid large crowds gathering, only the minimum number of people who can maintain the operation of CBV is allowed.
Moreover, the canteen is also closed, and you can only go home to eat after get off work one hour in advance. Those who need to work at night will return after finishing their meal.
It is now 5:38. With Zhao Zhen's consent, the chefs who were working at CBV have been allowed to resume work and will prepare dinner for the more than 4,000 people currently being held hostage at CBV.
Niya just came out again and has basically determined the escape plan of the hostages inside. Now she only needs external assistance.
People on the escape route on different floors will come in batches to get dinner and then return to the company building. This is also one of Zhao Zhen's requirements, which makes this assistance more comfortable.
Mo Xiaolan has asked the chefs to prepare everyone's escape plan instructions. They are all on paper and will be placed in the food when the food is distributed. Everyone who goes back to eat the food will find it, even the person in charge at noon. If anyone in the company fails to make the escape plan, everyone can be notified at tonight's dinner.
There were a total of 30 chefs. After Niya came out, Mo Xiaolan immediately started working on the row of people to complete this information transmission plan in a short time.
Now all we need to do is deliver the food. Originally, Niya proposed to deliver the food directly from outside, but Zhao Zhen said that the chefs from CBV should come in directly to cook it, and then let everyone in the company go to the cafeteria to get it one by one. .
Zhao Zhen is very smart. He has only one purpose for doing this, which is to confirm the number of hostages, because the AI should be able to tell Zhao Zhen through some means whether the hostages are complete.
Although the company is full of surveillance, there are always blind spots that cannot be reached by surveillance. Zhao Zhen's intentions are too obvious, but this facilitates the rescue plan of the business department.
Lilian was watching the chefs. Although they looked unhappy, they had already begun to prepare dinner hard.
When it's time to pick up dinner later, everyone in the CBV building will come out of the building one by one and go to the large cafeteria behind the building to pick up dinner, so that they can confirm the number of hostages one by one.
"It's true that things are unpredictable, Lillian."
Mo Xiaolan laughed. No one expected that Zhao Zhen would make such a request. Many of the hostages currently being held hostage by CBV were old employees, and no one had an emotional breakdown because they had seen too many.
In order to allow a small number of people to maintain the operation of cbv, none of the employees who were hijacked this time had working experience of less than 10 years. Mo Xiaolan looked at the suspicious reports returned after investigation by the five departments in various places.
Some rioters' dens have been found in some old urban areas with messy buildings in the city. Many dens are located in residential areas with complex architectural structures, and there are also some suspected rooms.
People from Section 2 are assisting Section 5 in the investigation. These rooms have been identified as hiding places for rioters. Some dangerous controlled materials and raw materials were found in many rooms, as well as some old mechanical engineering design drawings.
Time passed by, and when it was approaching 6 o'clock, a message was released. The artificial sun will not go out, and the operations department will do its best to investigate the rioters, so the artificial sun will maintain the brightness of the sunset until The riot is over.
Many people on the street who were still queuing up to shop became commotion because this was the first time that the artificial sun was not extinguished at 6 o'clock. Such a dim sun was gentle but not dazzling.
6 o'clock sharp
Sure enough, the artificial sun did not go out, and many people opened their windows as if they were surprised. This brightness is completely sufficient for people's daily lighting needs, and it will not cause much trouble even when sleeping.
The first batch of meals began to be distributed. More than 30 people in a room on the second floor began to move, as did people on the second, third and fourth floors. The number of meals distributed at the beginning was only 200, and this distribution will continue for 20 Only next time.
Lunch boxes with already filled meals were placed on the table one by one, and all the cbv employees began to get their meals. At this time, a supervisor in the crowd spoke.
"No matter what you eat or see later, stay calm and go to the bathroom as if nothing happened."
Sure enough, there are still people who have not received the notification, because some people did not go to the bathroom during the day. Only less than one-third of the people knew about the rescue plan of the administrative department, and these people could not explain it directly under the surveillance, and because of various For some reason, there were discrepancies in the original plan.
Soon the first group of people returned to the office with their lunch boxes. CBV has too many categories of programs to broadcast, and many programs require human review, including many programs from other TV companies, all of which require CBV. People conduct human review.
There is a reason why people say that CBV is the mouthpiece of the Acting Department behind their backs. This is because a long time ago, Section 1 has given CBV an audit standard and various other suggestions. Although they are suggestions, CBV It is 100% obedient to the decision of Section 1.
All news media in the city are controlled by CBV, including everything in the film and television industry. The broadcast of many programs is reviewed by CBV.
Everyone living in the Brilliant City knows that all media news is under the control of CBV. CBV also has the right to ban all news media people. Once someone in this industry is banned by CBV, no media company will hire him.
Especially now, most people can only spend a day at home. TV programs have become an indispensable entertainment program for many families. CBV has received a notice from the 1st Department a few hours before the martial law, and it has tried its best to ensure that the types of entertainment programs that people watch must be very many.
Many programs have hosts who will interact with the audience on the spot. In the past few days, many people who have worked too long seem to have a good vacation.
And most paid content is free, which also allows many people to watch some content freely these days.
Soon, the first group of people who got the lunch boxes returned to the office. Everyone seemed a little silent, because they didn't know when Zhao Zhen would detonate the bomb. Such fear has made many people feel exhausted. Although the most effective way is to devote themselves to work, once they are idle, they will remember that they are hostages now.
And the Action Department will definitely not announce the truth. Even if more than 4,000 of them are sacrificed, the people in the Action Department will not announce the truth. The people of CBV know this best. Many things they know can only be kept secret, not to mention some of the most core secrets of the city.
In just one noon, many people seemed to have worked for more than ten hours in a row. Many people also noticed that many hosts made mistakes frequently and their expressions were always unnatural.
All this is enough to show that the current people of CBV are under great pressure. At this time, a female anchor was eating, and tears fell down. She hurriedly wiped her tears, trying not to let people around her see them.
After all, at this time, the director has said that we must hold on. The Operations Department will definitely find a way, and Zhao Zhen is now emotionally stable and will not detonate the bomb in a short time.
The female anchor suddenly felt some black in the rice. She was shocked at first, and after slowly pushing the rice away, she saw a line of small words.
Please don't panic, hide the paper on your body, don't expose it to surveillance, don't attract attention, calm down, go to the toilet to see the content on the paper, Operations Department!
The female anchor hurriedly wiped away her tears, and then the female anchor quickly ate. Inadvertently, she hid the paper wrapped in plastic film in her clothes. After eating, she rested for a while and got up to go to the bathroom.
After the female anchor entered the bathroom, her heart was beating. She blushed and hurriedly opened the whole piece of paper. On it was a detailed escape plan. The female anchor looked at it carefully and quickly wrote down the plan. She needed to wait at the door of Room A38 on the north corridor of the 19th floor. The time is 8:20 tonight.
The female anchor heaved a sigh of relief. Her show ended at 8 o'clock, and she had 20 minutes to prepare. The paper detailed the process of moving, and she tried to stagger with others as much as possible, and try not to move in groups.
She also recommended some options to go to the 19th floor, among which taking the stairs was a better one. The design of the entire CBV building was a ring structure.
All this was for the convenience of journalists. The periphery was all corridors, with a total of 12 elevators, and there were folding stairs up and down in four directions. There was also a small rest balcony extending outward in the stairwell.
Soon the female anchor came to the light and shadow screen generation port on the side of the bathroom. She walked over tremblingly and called up a light and shadow screen. Sure enough, there was a green channel logo on the screen, and the female anchor pressed it.
Soon, accompanied by a bright white light, an object similar to a belt was generated. The female anchor quickly took it over, and according to the operation method that appeared on the light and shadow screen, she directly lifted her coat, wrapped the round tube-shaped object around her waist, adjusted it to a suitable size, and covered it with her coat.
After looking at the mirror, there were no obvious marks, because after this thing was tied around the waist, it began to extend along the body, so it was not obvious. I just needed to take off my coat later.
Soon, a woman who also rushed into the bathroom came out in less than a few minutes.
"Did you finish reading so quickly?"
The female anchor asked, and the woman in front of her laughed.
"Really, the supervisor has been here today. I heard from the assistant. It should be okay."
The two smiled at each other and then hugged each other. In the past, the two female anchors always had some small conflicts and frictions because of the program. No one could stand each other, but at this moment, both of them hugged each other from the bottom of their hearts.
6:29
In the live broadcast room where Zhao Zhen was, a female assistant came to Zhao Zhen with a box of lunch.
"Mr. Zhao Zhen, it's time to eat."
After Zhao Zhen opened his eyes, he smiled and took the meal. After he opened the meal, he began to eat it voraciously. The staff on the scene were already sitting aside in twos and threes, looking extremely tired.
Creak
The door of the room opened, and Niya walked in with a cigarette in her mouth. Zhao Zhen put down the meal.
"What was the result of the discussion? Miss Niya, did the gods agree?"
Niya waved her hand helplessly.
"Unfortunately, the meeting is still going on. There are only a few people who agree, but there are also many people who agree, especially those congressmen."
Zhao Zhen laughed. Indeed, the news he received at noon was that the congressmen, their families, and the businessmen were still in the guild hall and did not come out, and Locke had returned to the congress hall.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao Zhen, these staff members are also tired all day. Can they rest for a few hours?"
Zhao Zhen nodded.
"It's up to you. Just don't leave this building and do what you should do as hostages."
Niya then called a few staff members and asked them how to continue the live broadcast. After asking clearly, Niya asked them to leave. Many people fled from the studio.
After Niya adjusted the camera for a while, the live broadcast continued. She sat opposite Zhao Zhen, crossed her legs, and looked at Zhao Zhen comfortably.
"By the way, Miss Niya, didn't you say you would conduct street interviews for the lunch question? I think we can continue to discuss it."
Zhao Zhen said, put down the food in his hand, got up and walked away.
"I have to go to the bathroom."
Niya's eyes moved slightly for a moment. When she thought of the people who had just left, they must have gone to the bathroom to get the slow-down device. Niya knew that if Zhao Zhen went to the bathroom now, he would be finished.
"Do you really want to know? The truth about the life vaccine."
Niya shrank suddenly. Zhao Zhen stopped and walked to Niya with excitement.
"I have heard from my sister before that the secret of the life vaccine is the most secret thing in Brilliant City. I just heard some things from my sister. If you want to hear it, I can tell you now."
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly.
"But I just heard some things. I don't know more specific things."
Zhao Zhen hummed.
"Go ahead, Miss Niya. What you know is the core. I have also heard some things. Some people say that the life vaccine was born on the basis of human experiments."
After Niya was silent for a while, she exhaled a puff of smoke. Just when she was about to answer, a staff member came in and said that the live broadcast was interrupted. Niya immediately got up and walked over to watch him adjust.
Soon the live broadcast resumed, and Niya said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao Zhen, you should go to the bathroom first. We can discuss this issue slowly when you come back."
