Reboot: Mechanic-Chapter 259 Fake News

Two days had passed by since the information they wanted to leak had been posted on the front page of the channel.

The effect of the information on the front page was evident, with numerous people starting to make excuses to go into the battle despite the Gilaso variants having no intention of attacking yet.

Everyone was proclaiming how they should utilize this as an opportunity to suppress the Gilaso variants, stopping them from having a chance of recovery.

But everyone also knew that it was a hoax, with their true destination being the dense area that was leaked on the channel.

Of course, the one in the most disbelief was Theobold, who clearly did not expect such information would be leaked, and on such a prominent rising channel front page.

"Just who is the damn person leaking the information? Is it the traitor in my team?" In his private tent, Theobold was enraged.

He had learned this news the earliest and had planned to carefully navigate it slowly. Yet who would have thought someone had no brain and outright leaked such information out.

Nevertheless, Theobold also couldn't be angrier, given that it was beneficial to him and his soldiers as well.

With the crazed news of the dense area boosting their power, the people had also managed to kill thousands of Gilaso variants in the monster wave to rush to the dense area.

It was a win-lose situation and Theobold had to either cry or be joyful of the situation, depending on his perspective.

Of course, the same can't be said for Shi Tian and Mary, as they enjoyed this moment of free time.

It was about time they got to relax a bit more and have other people rush forward to do the dirty work for them.

"Haaa, just look at all those fools rushing to the dense area." Mary laughed heartily as her Iron Sentinel surveillance captured numerous people rushing to the battle.

"Hmm, even then, we don't know if the strange energy indeed has that kind of effect or not. So maybe they will benefit from the dense area." Shi Tian rubbed his chin and said.

It was true that the dense area contained the strange energy, but whether it truly had any beneficial effect remained unknown.

They were in the dark as well, so maybe it might actually become real.

Suddenly, Mary laughed heartily as she even started kicking her legs around.

"Right, I kept this to myself because I didn't want anyone else to know about it, but I guess I can give you a few hints."

"Few hints?" Confused, Shi Tiand didn't understand her sudden outburst.

Mary smiled sinisterly as she echoed for Shi Tian to walk closer to her.

A few seconds later, she whispered into his ears, "The dense area I gave to Commander Theobold and those fools out there are fake. As if I would leak out the real dense area filled with strange energy to them for free."

Shi Tian was utterly astonished when he heard that revelation. He didn't dare to believe that Mary even had the confidence to lie to Theobold as well. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"A-Aren't you afraid of repercussions from Commander Theobold?' Shi Tian whispered back, even though it was somewhat unnecessary when it was literally just them two in the Iron Sentinel.

"Repercussions?" Mary was amused, chuckling softly at that question.

"Listen, Nathan, I'm the one that found it, so it's my right to tell them the truth or not. If they are angry by it, then they should find it themselves. It's not that hard." She added, reminding him that all the hard work was done by her.

And Shi Tian had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. She was right after all. Information was found by her and the leak was also succeeded thanks to her.

In other words, without Mary, none of this would have occurred.

"Wait a minute, then wouldn't that make us like some sinners or schemers that are purposely manipulating others?" Shi Tian gasped suddenly, having realized they were no different than those people who usually hide behind a curtain and scheme stuff.

"Congrats, Nathan. Now move," Mary exclaimed, kicking him by the waist, and moving him to the side.

"I'm trying to sleep now, so unless you are a pervert and wish to get close to me, then don't come near." She scoffed, grabbing a blanket and covering herself with it.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian twitched his mouth in disbelief.

It was her that told him to come closer and now it was also her that kicked him by the side, telling him to move aside.

'Just when you think you understand women, reality hits you hard and reminds you that you don't understand crap.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, fixing some stuff as he made himself comfortable in his spot for bed.

The chaos outside had nothing to do with them, nor were they interested in the strange energy, not at the current moment at least.

Now that Shi Tian realized the dense area they had released or leaked was a fake, he could care less about the activities outside.

As Mary and Shi Tian gradually take their sleep within the Iron Sentinel, outside the dark environment, people are still active, especially one familiar figure.

The familiar figure was a person that was usually referred to as a breakfast dish, Egg Benedict.

"Are you sure the intel is correct?" Benedict raised an eyebrow as he turned to his soldiers and questioned them.

"The dense area is filled with abnormal strange energy and one would feel an enhancement in their power. So how come I feel nothing aside from being irritated by the pollution." He shouted angrily.

"C-Commander Benedict, the intel isn't wrong. The map really pointed at our current location to be a dense area. You can even verify here." One of the soldiers timidly said.

He proceeded to walk forward and showed the device to Benedict, letting him see the red dot position they were in was precisely the location stated in the leaked news.
