Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Mo Dao successfully joined the Kellner branch.

That night, in order to welcome his arrival, everyone sat together and cooked a hot pot meal to warm him up.

During the dinner, other colleagues from the Lower Kelner branch were also introduced to him.

The entire branch, including him, had a total of only 13 people and two photography and interview groups.

The reporter and editor in one of the groups was naturally Mo Dao.

The reporter of the other team is a young woman named Yin Yan, who is in her twenties and twenties. She is gentle and generous, considerate to others, and has a bit of a sister-next-door style. She is also very enthusiastic about Mo Dao's arrival.

After all, once Mo Dao arrived, another interview team was able to get back up and running, reducing her workload by half.

In addition to the two interview teams, the branch also has a chef who is in his early fifties and is also from China.

It is said that he originally came here to open a restaurant, but in the end the restaurant did not take off, so he simply came to work at the branch. He has been working at the branch for nearly ten years.

Everyone in the branch calls him Uncle Shao.

The base ingredient for the hot pot tonight is freshly fried by Uncle Shao.

The president of the Kellner branch, who can also be called the editor-in-chief, is a middle-aged man in his forties named Wu Kangyu. He is easy-going, has no airs, and is always smiling. He has been at the branch for nearly ten years.

Finally, there are the people in Mo Dao’s group,

In addition to the driver Lu Hong who had picked up people at the airport, there was another photographer named Fei Yi, a burly northern man in his early thirties.

After a refreshing dinner,

Starting from the next day, Mo Dao officially started working.

However, as Lu Hong said before, there are fewer people in the branch and less work.

As for the head office, they rarely give them any tasks or tasks.

Most of the time, the branch office needs to go out for interviews, which basically means participating in some press conferences at the invitation of the local government.

However, most of the interviews in this area are conducted by Yin Yan’s team.

Only occasionally does Mo Dao need to take responsibility.

Due to the local situation, when there is no necessary work, the editors and reporters of the branch basically stay in the small courtyard where the branch is located.

It was only two days before Mo Dao arrived that he went out and walked around twice to get familiar with the familiar environment.

Most of the time, everyone just chatted in the yard and time passed like this.

However, this peaceful and leisurely state obviously cannot last forever.

With further domestic turmoil in Kerner, the situation has become increasingly serious and international attention has increased.

The number of interviews in the Kellner bureau also increased.

First, the number of press conferences held by local governments increased.

Second, various news about the war are constantly emerging and need to be spread back to the country.

Mo Dao's workload also began to increase.

…

November, early.

Mo Dao had just finished an interview and returned to the branch in the interview car.

I saw that the branch president Wu Kangyu's face had lost the usual smiling expression, and his expression was a little gloomy.

Seeing Mo Dao and others coming back, he looked at Mo Dao with some hesitation and hesitation.

"Editor-in-Chief, what happened?"

"A car explosion just occurred in the south of the city. A hotel was collapsed. At the time of the incident, some senior officials from Kellner were having a meeting in the hotel... The head office hopes that we can send some on-site reports back. …But Yin Yan went to another place and hasn’t come back yet.”

Wu Kangyu said, looking at Mo Dao and hesitating again,

"...Forget it, I'll go. You stay on duty in the agency, and I'll be a guest reporter to report."

"Editor-in-Chief, I'd better go."

"...No way, the explosion over there has just ended...it's not very safe yet. You are still young, I..."

"This is my job."

Mo Dao smiled and said something. Wu Kangyu looked at Mo Dao intently and paused.

Then he just patted Mo Dao on the shoulder,

"Okay, be safe. I'll send you the address."

"good."

In response, Mo Dao and Photography, who had just got out of the interview car, got back into the car.

"South of the city, Soller Street, okay."

The driver Lu Hong opened his eyes, greeted Mo Dao and the two sitting in the back seat, and started the car.

Mo Dao looked through some information to prepare for subsequent reports.

After reading it again, he raised his head again and saw that the photographer Fei Yi next to him seemed a little nervous.

"Brother Fei is a little nervous?"

"Reporter Mo, I'm really a little scared. You haven't encountered anything like this before when you arrived. I've encountered it once before. When I arrived, the incident wasn't over yet. The crackling gunshots sounded like firecrackers."

Fei Yi chewed a piece of gum, looking a little helpless.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, we just eat this bowl of rice."

Fei Yi and Lu Hong didn't blame Mo Dao for taking this interview task, because even if Mo Dao didn't have to go this time and the editor-in-chief personally took charge, they still had to go with them as drivers and cameramen. It was always their job.

"Brother Mo, don't listen to the nonsense from the tip. He was scared once. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Normally, there would be nothing wrong with this kind of interview report. Just pay attention. . It’s your first time doing this kind of interview, Brother Mo, so you can’t tell how nervous you are?”

"Maybe I'm naturally bold."

Mo Dao responded with a smile. In fact, he was simply not afraid of death. Death would be a retreat.

For him, he has lived more than once, so he naturally doesn't feel much about this danger.

"Great. Then it's right for Brother Mo to come here. You have to be brave and careful here."

"Brother Lu, have you encountered a lot of such things?"

"I've been here for so long, and I've encountered at least 17 or 18 times. It's either explosions here or there. When I first came here, I was terrified when I heard the gunshots for the first time. I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't know what to do next..."

"Brother Mo, remember, if anything happens, hide in the interview car. Our car is bulletproof."

Talking along the way,

the car drove straight to the scene of the incident.

...

"The car can only be parked here. The government troops in front are under martial law and won't let us pass."

"Well, get off the car."

The car stopped at the street where the incident happened.

There were no pedestrians on the entire street.

Only the local government troops were patrolling around the scene with guns in hand.

The place where Mo Dao and his companions went further ahead was a checkpoint set up by the government army, and a pair of local government soldiers armed with live ammunition were also on guard.

Since the interview had been reported to the Kerna authorities in advance, although Mo Dao and his companions were not allowed to pass through the checkpoint and get closer, they were not expelled from the place.

In fact, this place is very close to the scene of the incident, and it can be said that it is very close.

The hotel where the explosion occurred is one or two hundred meters away.

This luxury hotel also has a wall and an iron gate outside,

but it is obviously unable to prevent the explosives from the explosion from approaching.

The core area of ​​the explosion is almost in the lobby of the hotel building.

There is a huge explosion pit on the ground at this moment, and the hotel building above it has collapsed halfway and is almost in ruins.

The entire scene of the incident is extremely silent at this moment,

only some gunpowder smoke is spreading from the explosion pit,

and at the same time, there is an unpleasant smell, as if some kind of meat is burnt,

which makes people unable to think about it.

Cameraman Fei Yi turned on the camera while looking around vigilantly.

Mo Dao was calm and did not change his expression because of the smoke-filled scene.

After reading the information again, he picked up the microphone and started reporting.

Beside him, Brother Lu Hong looked at Mo Dao's calm appearance and gave him a thumbs up outside the camera.

"This is the China News Agency. I am reporter Mo Dao. Now I will report to you the latest situation of the explosion in the capital of Kerner..."

"Boom..."

At this moment, another loud explosion sounded behind Mo Dao.
