War Paradise

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Chi set foot on the land of Stalu Island for the first time since the start of this game.

This island is located in the southwest of Manhattan. Although it is much larger than Manhattan, it has a much smaller population. The island’s resident population is only about 500,000, which is considered a "large area and sparsely populated" compared to several other districts in New York.

Lin Chi drove across the streets of Stara Island, which is naturally incomparable with the bustling Manhattan, but by 2050, a very advanced industrial zone will also appear.

Beside the industrial area, there are small commercial areas and intricate residential areas.

To find the secret base mentioned by No. 7 in such a large area is simply looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you know that the base is located somewhere on the west side of the island, it is purely a fantasy to find a specific location.

In this situation, Lin Chi did not rush to the west side of the island, but after checking the small map, he drove a blue Mitsubishi off-road vehicle to the nearby newspaper office.

"Are you going to explode?" Crazy Evan sitting in the passenger seat, staring at the street outside the car window enthusiastically, the buildings that seem to be completely structured obviously meet his needs.

"Not yet." Lin Chi shook his head, letting the jeep using the autopilot system drove slowly across the street.

The first thing he has to do now is to gather intelligence, but this time, Lin Chi didn’t bother to find any intelligence merchants. He just drove to the front of a low three-story building nearby and looked at the dusty building. Outdated signboard hanging on:

The newspaper office of "Stara Island Herald".

"Comrade, are you interested in Eight Trigrams news?" Crazy Evan cast his confused eyes on the billboard.

"No, I just need information." Lin Chi smiled.

This newspaper seems to be very influential, in fact the newspapers they publish are indeed very influential. But even in 2050, their physical newspapers will still have a market, and the sales of digital editions will not be low.

As for the reason, it is also very simple-the news in their newspapers is a gimmick just by looking at the headlines, which fully satisfies the curiosity of contemporary readers.

Such as "Shock! The Mayor of New York actually did such a thing! ", or "The girlfriend of a sports star who has been dating for three years turns out to be a man" and other eye-catching headlines, appear on the front page of their newspapers every day.

Although knowing that the authenticity of these news is open to question, citizens also need this kind of news, which is close to being made up, as a pastime on the way to work.

What Lin Chi has to do now is to find the information he needs from these seemingly nonsense news.

——If there is really a secret base hidden on Stara Island, even if the regular large-scale media find a clue, it will not be able to report it. On the contrary, this kind of unreliable newspaper may provide some clues.

Parked the car in the parking lot in front of the newspaper building. Lin Chi didn't even get off the car. With the help of the electronic eye with the authority level of Ascension to level 10, he hacked the computer of the newspaper editor-in-chief located on the second floor through the wall.

He quickly scanned all the news headlines stored in it, and then filtered out the content related to Stara Island. There are a bunch of "Staju Island May Sink in Three Years" and "Horror! In nonsense news such as "Large Tentacle Monsters Hidden Below the Island," began to look for useful information.

"These guys can really be nonsense..." Lin Chi sighed with emotion.

It took him three minutes to finally find the information he was interested in from a bunch of news that was obviously nonsense:

"What is hidden in the no man's land on the west side of Stara Island?" The old driver will give you directions. 》

Seeing this line of headlines, Lin Chi began to quickly read the following news content. Unsurprisingly, this news, like other news in the Pioneer, revealed a sense of nonsense:

As you all know, the island we are on is the least populated area in New York City. But have you ever wondered why there are so few permanent residents on Stara Island?

Is it because the economy is underdeveloped? No, don't forget that this is New York City! Is it because there are so many gangs? Don't be funny, since the electronic guard appeared, how many gang members dare to come out on the street?

So, why is there still only so many people on Stara Island today?

Van Duckholm, a special correspondent of the Herald, finally came to a conclusion after a period of investigation.

And this conclusion is about to subvert your worldview:

Under this island, there is a huge military base hidden. The nuclear radiation leaking from that base is slowly killing all the creatures on the island!

And the entrance of this base is probably located on the southwest side of the island, on that dirty beach where no one is all year round!

...

After reading this, Lin Chi frowned slightly, ignoring a lot of nonsense below, and focused his attention on the "dirty beach where no one is all year round".

In this era, New York City’s pollution control measures should have long been sufficient to clean up heavily polluted beaches. Even if the place is turned into a tourist attraction, it’s no surprise.

In this case, there is still a "dirty beach where no one has been around all the year round", which is obviously very unreasonable. According to the news, the beach should be located on the southwest side of the island, and it is also in the same position as surveyed on the 7th.

——The nonsense guest reporter, maybe he really got it right?

Mindful of this, Lin Chi also immediately started the car again and galloped towards the southwest side of Stalu Island.

Half an hour later, the blue off-road vehicle arrived at the beach mentioned in the news.

As the guest reporter said, this beach is extremely desolate. The beach is full of rubbish washed from nowhere. There are no signs of any houses within one kilometer. There are only a few buildings in the distance. It's also very old.

"This place really fully embodies the corruption of capitalism. Are those wealthy businessmen so stingy that they refuse to manage the environment?" The bomb expert who just got out of the car touched his bright bald head, and his voice was full of disdain: "The American Emperor will finish sooner or later. !"

"I don't think it's like'unwilling to govern' here, but'not allowed to govern'." Lin Chi hugged his arms and looked at this desolate no-man's land.

Even if he is not a real estate businessman, he can tell that the scenery here is actually pretty good. If you buy this beach, clean up the garbage on it, and build perfect transportation facilities and amusement facilities nearby, this place can definitely become a good tourist attraction.

Large real estate developers like the Trump family, who are currently in full swing, certainly will not ignore the development potential of this area. As for why no one buys this land, it should be banned. In other words...

"Do you want to blow up the U.S. military base?" Lin Chi smiled.

"Of course, hurry up!" Crazy Ivan looked impatient, lifted his own white vest, revealing a string of explosives tied to his waist: "I'm ready!"

Seeing the dangerous equipment on this person, Lin Chi took a few steps back quietly: "I didn't let you explode..."

"Even if you die, you have to die!" Crazy Yiwen said solemnly.

"Well, whatever you want."

Lin Chi nodded helplessly, activated his own electronic eye again, and began to scan the underground in this area.

-Strangely, he didn't find anything.

Not only is there no military base, this area does not even have controllers for gas pipes and underground water pipes. It is like a wasteland that cannot be touched by modern civilization. but……

"What is obscuring the observation of the electronic eye?"

Realizing that the situation was not quite right, Lin Chi walked over to the beach quickly.

Just stepping on the dirty beach, he noticed an imperceptible metallic light flashing on the stone wall next to him.

"This is the entrance to the base you said?" Crazy Ivan rushed over and looked at the concealed metal door.

Lin Chi didn't say much, but frowned slightly, staring at the security lock judged to be "cracked" by the electronic eye.

——It seems that someone else has found this place one step in advance.

In other words, he may be about to face a big battle.
