Everything happening in the skies above Huang Ban Beach was captured by the fifty-four journalists and photographers sitting in hover cars, and vividly explained to the audience in front of their televisions.
"Everyone, look! Huang Ban Corporation’s air defense units seem to have mistakenly attacked a fleet of evacuees’ hover cars taking off from the Watson District!"
"Oh my god, I can’t even imagine the kind of torture the civilians barely escaping with their lives on that car are going through, Huang Ban’s drones are still firing at them!"
"What? Our station’s journalist just received the latest news, there is still liquefied propane that hasn’t been unloaded from those hover cars. If these propane tanks are breached, it will leak a lot of flammable gas, the disaster that could occur when these gases encounter flames is unimaginably terrible."
"Huang Ban should know about this, right?"
"Oh! Look, the propane tanks have fallen onto the resort area and caused a huge explosion, even from this distance we can hear that terrifying sound, it’s like demons crawling out of hell and screaming." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel fire.net
"But I think no one else should be blamed for this."
"A car was destroyed, and the fleeing civilians fell off! My god, the image is too terrible, I can’t bear to watch."
To ensure the credibility of his lines, the journalist even covered his eyes with his hand, then whispered forcefully to the photographer
"Keep filming, don’t stop!"
His script was completely reversing black and white; it was clearly players raiding Huang Ban Beach, which was intentionally embellished into Huang Ban drones attacking fleeing civilians.
You can only say this is the charm of journalism.
What can you do when the shareholders of Channel 54 are in biotechnology and military technology, now naturally they’re getting busy smearing Huang Ban.
But this move indeed effectively stirred the public’s anger towards Huang Ban.
It might even have far exceeded the psychological expectations of military technology and Channel 54, while the subsequent development of events also went beyond everyone’s control.
Especially the painful scene when a jet, after losing control, crashed into Ganbi Mansion, the people felt both satisfied and heartbroken.
After finally escaping, they were shot down by Huang Ban’s inhumane guys, and crashing into Ganbi Mansion was simply using their lives to resist the monster that devours humanity.
These people told everyone through their actions
Huang Ban is not invincible.
Then I’ll take your life!
Meanwhile, the TV station invested by Huang Ban expressed an entirely different tone
"According to insider reports, the fire was caused by gang conflict in the Watson District; they ignited gasoline to destroy the crime scene, eventually causing the fire due to improper operation."
"Afterward, they even looted the firefighting equipment market in Santo Domingo, intending to raise prices amidst the chaos, obtaining illegal huge profits, and even violently confront NCPD officers and Huang Ban’s firefighting team, refusing to let the fire be further controlled..."
"As for these villains, Huang Ban’s spokesperson stated, they will never compromise with criminal forces and will retaliate with a strong punch."
However, few people were watching after all.
Rogers at Rebirth Bar saw the scene of the hover car crashing into the building, the blazing flames momentarily took her back to that night remembered by everyone in Night City.
Her heart was filled with melancholy, not knowing what to say.
People around her were strangely becoming fewer and fewer, constantly putting down their glasses and leaving the bar.
You know this is Rebirth, though it’s already four in the morning, it’s not yet closing hour, especially those mercenaries drinking all night won’t stop for a moment.
She didn’t know how long had passed until everything was utterly silent, leaving only Rogers standing there, as the last person in front of this silent queen of Rebirth.
"Boss, all guests have gone, can I take an early shift and go home early?"
Rogers raised her head to look at this somewhat special bartender, and with a somewhat helpless smile asked
"Don’t tell me your home is in the Watson District."
Claire shrugged. "There’s still some time, I want to go check out the commotion along the way."
Rogers waved her hand, "Go, go, while being young, do what you want, don’t be like me, when I got older doing things became timid, at the end lost everything."
She wasn’t too worried about Claire’s safety. Although being a bartender at Rebirth isn’t some prestigious profession, mercenaries with eyes will surely lend a hand to help her out, dying easily won’t be possible.
As for Rebirth’s exclusive hacker Nicks, he left soon after Weilan.
This left Rogers alone in the large bar, lonely, without even a little brother, only able to watch the images on the TV and sigh.
"Busy, they’re all busy... busy is good..."
Brother Ni: "Hahahahaha! Burn well, damn it, burn well! Burn bigger!"
Watching the flames soaring at Huang Ban Beach and the panicked Huang Ban frontlines, the players seemed injected with adrenaline, their fingers pulling the trigger more frequently.
Giant: "I’ve said before, changing bases is the top tactic, swapping bases in disadvantage and fighting for a shot will work for sure!"
Truth Department: "Brother! You’re still laughing here! My brother died!! Why aren’t the people on the hover car me!"
Damn, if I’d known in advance there was a chance to crash into Ganbi Mansion, no matter the cost, I would’ve volunteered for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
