MTL - Overturned Tower-Chapter 12 Protection and Surveillance

Most of the passengers on this empty boat seem to be very familiar with the interview style of the reporter from Happy Island.

— It can even be said that it is blind.

Passengers who had already exited even turned back immediately after seeing the iconic pink helicopter, and returned to their seats.

Of course, it won't be too boring.

Anyway, the moment they successfully landed, they were already connected to the public WiFi of Happy Island, and they could already surf the Internet normally.

The chip that is implanted in the back of everyone's head and provides a personal identification code also has a considerable degree of convenience in daily life.

You don't need to bring money with you when you go out, you don't need to sign any documents when you travel, and you don't need to bring any documents to sign a contract or handle business. All can be authenticated by chips.

At the same time, it also provides the function of "brain screen".

Just like the "screen" and "screen"...the pictures and words are directly reflected in front of the eyes, and the sound is transmitted into the brain.

You don't need to carry any equipment, you can browse the web, query information, or listen to music and watch videos anytime, anywhere.

You can also exhale the keyboard, tap it in the void or on the desktop, and return messages to relatives and friends. Of course, there is also a daily chat mode of pure thought input, but if you want to use written language, you still need some thinking.

While most of the people retreated to their seats and entertained themselves, there were a few who seemed to come from other empty islands and never came to the happy island.

They stood curiously at the door of the airship, and turned on the recording mode for the three helicopters that were gradually landing.

Russell can actually understand them quite well.

Under normal circumstances, how could several armed helicopters fly over and land directly on the face of civilian airships?

Most likely there were some dangerous people in the empty boat, or some accident happened. In that case, it may be dangerous to hide in your own seat, it is better to stand at the door.

Or else it's to welcome some big shots... Maybe they can take a group photo if they stand at the door. If you go back and post it on social networking sites, you can gain a lot of fans.

Soon, their curiosity was satisfied.

Twelve men in black wearing explosion-proof helmets with tactical goggles and anti-virus filters, and heavy insulating bulletproof suits jumped down from two large helicopters pulling rope ladders.

They hold submachine guns for firing rubber bullets, and hang "guard batons" around their waists that can be lengthened and shortened, and can also be electrified at any time to become electric shock batons.

Russell even recognized the model of the prosthesis—it was a new type of prosthetic called the Three-Fist Claw.

It was developed by Russell's teacher three months ago and Russell personally participated in the design. Russell even knew the full internals of this model of prosthetic.

In addition to being equipped with three pop-up blades, it can also fire three flash, smoke, or shock bombs in the order they are loaded, and it also has four common ports.

This thing is not cheap.

After all, it is still a new product, there are no pirated, imitated or second-hand goods, and all the goods are supplied directly from Sogo Island by air.

Because the supply is too small, the price can't come down at all.

Just like the latest air-system graphics card in another world, they are all good things belonging to the air system.

Those who can purchase and install immediately must be at least the direct subordinate companies of the seven giants.

Under the filming and onlookers of the surrounding people, this group of heavily armed men got off the helicopter and rushed towards the surrounding crowd.

Instead of using the stun gun, they raised the electric baton that unfolded into the shape of a long stick and shouted loudly—

"Stand back!"

"Video is prohibited!"

"keep quiet!"

The crowd backed away quickly in fear, and soon formed a large empty circle, and the noisy noise gradually became smaller. But even so, the onlookers near the landing pad still did not disperse.

Moreover, although these strong men in black yelled "no video recording", Russell saw those people staring straight ahead with their heads motionless as if in a daze, and knew that they must still be videotaping.

But these people didn't really care about it.

After driving the crowd out of a large open space, the six men in black stood in every corner of the open space, put away their electric batons, raised their rifles in their backhands, looked at the crowd outside, and entered the area where they might shoot at any time. alert state.

The remaining half of the men in black turned around and rushed into the empty boat.

They waved the "guard sticks" that were not powered on and retracted into the shape of short sticks, and ordered the passengers standing at the door to step back and sit back in their seats.

"Don't affect news gathering and editing!"

"The personal code of the trouble will be recorded!"

"We're going to record, keep quiet!"

Only a dull middle-aged man with a face like a frog didn't realize what was going on.

He stood at the door, watching the people around him step back, and gave them a mocking look.

— Immediately afterwards, without notice or warning, he was suddenly whipped on the back with a stick.

Fortunately, the stick was not electrified, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious to the ground immediately.

Just as the man wanted to get angry, he was immediately pointed at by six black guns.

A slender red light shot out from above the man in black's tactical eyepiece, leaving six moving red spots on the man.

The middle-aged man immediately became quiet at a speed visible to the naked eye, and politely retreated to his seat with a smile.

After driving everyone away, they left two people behind, blocking the hatch on the inside of the airship on the left and right like door gods, preventing anyone from passing through, and being careful not to reveal any trace of their bodies— At least from the outside, it is impossible to see that there are two people hiding here.

Soon, all the standing passengers were scolded and rushed back to their seats.

Except Russell and Amirus.

When these people saw Amirus—or to be precise, when they saw Amirus' elf ears, they immediately retracted their indifferent attitude.

Except for the two guards, the remaining four people took turns to salute Amyrus.

And as for Russell...

Perhaps it was because Amirus blocked him and didn't take the initiative to introduce them.

After the old elf had already shown this attitude, the men in black seemed to have never seen Russell at all, and they didn't even glance at him. Not to mention looking at him curiously, or asking about his identity.

There were even two people standing in front of Amirus very consciously, with the stun guns in their hands, and the guards on the left and right in front.

The last two remaining people patrolled back and forth in the two corridors of the first class cabin and the public cabin.

It looks like they hijacked the airship. They are much more professional than the group of mercenaries before.

These men in black, all wrapped up in their bodies, kept absolute silence. Whether those passengers are chatting on the Internet with a calm face, cursing them in a low voice in fear, or asking the people around them in a confused voice...as long as the voices of these passengers do not spread outside and affect the shooting, and they do not rush out When it comes to the screen, it just turns a deaf ear.

Make room, keep quiet, add to the contingency of protecting the elf's personal safety—other than that, they didn't ask these passengers to do anything, and they didn't do anything to these passengers.

...Can they send out a full three gunships and two teams of heavily armed security personnel just to do such a trivial thing?

Russell was dumbfounded.

Although the weapons in the hands of these security personnel can only fire rubber bullets, just by hearing their abnormally heavy footsteps, Russell can directly judge that the degree of their prosthetic body transformation has exceeded at least 70%.

I am afraid that they will not die if they are shot by machine guns or bombed by missiles.

But listen to what Amyrus means...

Didn't these people come here specially for him to protect him?

"This is normal."

Amirus read the surprise and astonishment from Russell's expression, so he spoke directly and patiently explained to Russell: "In the past, there were many incidents of hijacking, attacking, and assassinating reporters on Happy Island, and kidnapping reporters to manipulate , affecting the content of the interview.”

"...Why do you want to do this?"

"Because on Happy Island, the 'reporter interview' of Happy Daily is a simultaneous live broadcast on the Internet. And like the rules of other sky islands, all public interviews will be kept on file in the sect server simultaneously. Although people who happened to see the live news It must be a very small number, but people who see it may not save this live video - they also have the right to repost or edit it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

The old elf replied: "However, the 'Happiness Daily' itself has no right to cut or modify the interviewed news content in any form. In the comprehensive daily newspaper on the second day, they can choose to publish or not publish this paragraph at most. It is impossible to selectively publish part of the content of the interview video. Because anyone with a little authority can enter the sect server at any time to query and download these public interview videos.

"This means that once a reporter is hijacked or induced to ask unfavorable questions, or records a sudden and discordant environmental noise during an interview, it cannot be modified. And it will be permanently recorded.

"The purpose of these professional security personnel is to protect journalists personally, so that journalists will not be bribed, controlled, induced, or attacked, assassinated, or kidnapped. Not only at work, but also in daily life. will terminate."

The old elf said with a smile.

Although his expression is quite gentle, he looks civilized and calm like an old gentleman. There was no mention of any impolite words in the words, but Russell felt a very faint but clear enough ridicule very clearly.

It's like an oil stain on a white shirt, so inconspicuous and at the same time enough to be an eyesore.

Although what Amirus said was more euphemistic.

But Russell clearly realized that there was another meaning hidden in Amirus' words.

— This protection is at the same time surveillance. It's more of a threat.

In order to ensure that the reporter will not be held hostage and say "shouldn't say something", two teams of heavily armed prosthetic troops are dispatched to protect around the clock...

So, what if the people who sent these guards... personally controlled, induced, and bribed these reporters?
