Blackstone Code

After his men reported the progress of the rescue, Mr. Patu asked him to leave and then called Anna.

"...The general situation is like this. We need more cold-proof clothing and food. The lower two floors of the shelter are completely flooded. I haven't asked anyone to turn on the drainage system for the time being. I think it should be somewhat useful, extra."

After listening to this, Anna had to admire one thing about her father, and that was his sensitivity in dealing with some issues.

Connor needs to show a more miserable picture in front of people, rather than a tender rescue. It is best to set more examples to gain the empathy of the people at the bottom.

Now you tell people at other shelters that this shelter has a terrible management team and they probably only have a vague idea.

Even if you tell them that six to seven million people died here, to those who have nothing to do with this place, it is just a number that sounds special.

They might say, "Oh, my God," and then calm down.

They don't really think this is a terrible thing, after all, it hasn't happened to them.

So we must let them touch their hearts through more realistic pictures, let them think, and firmly deny that this kind of thing will not happen to them!

And this requires a more direct and impactful picture.

Although Anna is also a shareholder of the company and a member of the board of directors, her seat is much lower than that of Connor.

In the past, in large companies, the status of shareholders was related to how much equity they owned, and this is even more true now!

Even if the difference is only one ten thousandth, it is enough to put the two shareholders on completely different levels.

Not to mention that Connor's shares are calculated on a percentage basis, while others are already very high-ranking shareholders if they can be calculated on a thousand-percent basis.

No one objects to Connor's requests and opinions, at least they will be implemented and implemented without many people objecting together.

Blackstone TV also sent more filming teams here, and they needed to go below to shoot more miserable scenes.

Patu kept everything Anna told him in mind, and he still had this ability.

The relationship between father and daughter seemed to have changed overnight. After hanging up the phone, Mr. Patu had a smile on his face. He was actually very scared now.

If he was less lucky then... it would be his turn to be unlucky now.

There are still many people in the management who have not been caught. They may be dead, but they have become one with the shelter, and they may also be hidden among the crowd.

He needed to mobilize more people, the "locals" of the refuge, to find these management members.

At the same time, he also needs to meet the interview team.

They come by plane.

The only company left with the ability to fly in such bad times is Federal Aviation, and Federal Aviation is owned by Lynch.

Whoever he wants to fly can fly; whoever he doesn't want to fly has to queue up and take the train.

In less than half an hour, a large number of interview teams arrived below via temporary hanging baskets.

They looked at the people crowded together like refugees, wrapped in blankets and waiting for rescue, without much emotion.

These pictures are no longer as impactful as they were a day or two ago.

They need more shocking material. Journalists are always beyond the laws of morality and ethics, not that they want to violate the law and do terrible things.

But their values ​​and some cognitions are different from ordinary people.

Just like the three ace reporters who were the first to photograph the shelter, people have seen too much truth, goodness and beauty, and film and television works and literary creations all seem to say this.

The happy ending will always be forgotten within an hour after people leave the cinema, but the pain, despair, and these negative emotions will stay with them for a long time.

That's what they want.

The professional team and equipment, led by the rescue team, entered the lower level. At this time, the power supply had been restored, and the ground was wet along the way. Soon they came to the huge corridor between the fourth and fifth floors.

"The next scene may be a bit...you know, you should be mentally prepared."

At the prompts of the rescue team, all reporters began to prepare, and the live broadcast signal was also connected, starting to broadcast live to the world.

When the lights came on, everyone gasped and the entire space fell silent.

Countless corpses that had been soaked and turned white were left on the steps. There were corpses floating one after another under the water, layer upon layer, making people wonder how many there were and making their scalp numb.

Two female reporters couldn't bear it anymore and started vomiting. The vomiting was not caused by their feeling of nausea, but because of fear.

When people's fear reaches the extreme, there is a certain probability that it will cause physical discomfort. Nausea, vomiting, chest and abdominal discomfort, and leg weakness are very common.

The camera faithfully recorded all this. At this moment, another corpse floated up from the dark depths, pushing some corpses aside and rising and falling on the water.

Because of the ripples it caused, the bodies in the surrounding circle were constantly rising and falling.

Someone vomited again.

"I'm going to turn on the pumping system."

The rescue team member spoke a few words on the walkie-talkie, and the water pumping system in the shelter started working.

"It may take about eight to ten hours to pump out the water on the fifth floor. You can take a rest first."

The ace reporter in charge of the live broadcast suppressed his physical discomfort and asked, "What are you going to do with these corpses?"

"Move it away and burn it?"

"How to deal with it?"

The man from the rescue team had an expression that said, "I'm afraid you're out of your fucking mind." But when he thought about the fact that these people were reporters and their characteristics, he felt relieved.

"There are hundreds of thousands of corpses here. We simply can't transport these corpses, and we don't have enough equipment to burn them."

"It's very cold and that's the good news in a lot of bad news and it means we don't have to dispose of these bodies."

"Once we're sure there's no one alive down there, we just need to turn off the heat."

"Everyone will gradually evacuate here, and we will not deal with these bodies."

Even the well-informed ace reporter was silenced.

The Federals are weird, doing things that disrespect the living while encouraging respect for the dead.

Perhaps the reason for respecting the dead is that they do not lose their temper or get angry.

But leaving so many corpses like this... is still a bit nerve-wracking.

When the ace reporter thought about turning back and going down, her scalp was already numb with fear.

"Isn't anyone going to give them a decent burial?"

The rescue team member sneered, "There are hundreds of thousands of corpses, why don't you come?"

These seemingly angry and numb dialogues dealt a heavy blow to the viewers in front of the TV.

After death, even the corpses cannot be burned or buried in the soil. The thought of these corpses becoming ice sculptures stacked here makes everyone tremble deep in their souls!

Other teams began to interview the victims, and the ace female reporter planned to leave here first.

They are actually better at interviewing living people than photographing dead people.

The female reporter found a desperate-looking woman and squatted next to her. "I realize you are the only one here. Where is your family?"

The woman had cried until she could no longer cry, and her eyes were swollen like fish bubbles. She looked at the female reporter and said nothing.

"Did your family get separated from you, or did they die down there?"

The woman lowered her head and did not want to talk to her, but the female reporter seemed not to let the victim, who was also a woman, go.

"Are you sad now?"

"Would you be sad if your family died?"

"Would you like to see them again if possible?"

"you……"

Looking at the silent woman, the female reporter felt a little regretful that she could not arouse the woman's emotions and make her generate some value for herself.

But soon she found a better interview subject, a lonely-looking child in his teens.

"I see that everyone else is together as a family. Where are your parents?"

The child just stopped crying for a while. When the female reporter asked this question, he couldn't help crying again.

"Are you crying because you know your parents may have been killed?"

"If they die and you become an orphan, do you still have grandparents?"

"Or an aunt or uncle or something like that?"

"Or are you all living together before, and now you're the only one left?"

"Is there anything you want to say?"

The child cried even more sadly, but the female reporter was very satisfied. Even if he didn't speak, his "positive" emotional feedback was more powerful than speaking!

Language can be hypocritical, but emotional feedback is more real!

Countless people called Blackstone TV to curse the female reporter and her family, pouring out their anger. In fact, this kind of performance is what the TV station wants to see.

They activated the empathy of these people at the bottom and made them empathize with the interviewees, which is why they were so angry and called to curse.

Many times do you think they don’t know how hateful what they do is?

They know it, but this is where they show their worth!

The rescue work continued. When the water on the fifth floor was emptied, the rescuers looked at the soaked and peeling paint on the top and immediately announced that there was no living person on the fifth floor.

Three days, in an environment without oxygen, people can't survive that long.

As for the sixth floor, there is no need to see it. Just pump out the water and wait for the living people above to be sent away, and they will follow.

Everything that happens here is stimulating the nerves of the bottom people all over the world, especially the bottom residents of the Federation Territory Shelter Alliance!

Almost all small and medium-sized shelters have announced that they are giving up their membership of the Shelter Alliance and are willing to continue to accept the management of the federal government.

The remaining larger shelters have also given up insisting. They just hope to talk to Global Access and strive for the benefits they should strive for.

Everyone can see that the Federation has been unified!

It’s not the unification of territory, it’s the unification of governance!
