555. Investigative Reporter

The patrol escorted Ren Xiaosu, Fang Zhi and others all the way to the edge of the barrier. At this time, the redundant residential buildings had been demolished, and new fortifications were being built inside the barrier.

It used to be a clean and tidy street, with small shops and five or six-story old residential buildings beside the road, but now, the residential buildings and shops have disappeared, replaced by dust all over the ground, and half-built bunkers , and some simple machine gun commanding heights.

This kind of fortification is completely preventing how to fight after the wall of the fortress is breached.

Moreover, the gates of the city have been sealed.

"Why did you seal the gate?" Fang Zhi said in amazement, "We came in from the east gate in the morning, and it hasn't been sealed yet."

They are located on the north side of the barrier. There are four gates in total, and the gate on the north side has been completely sealed by concrete and other materials. Ren Xiaosu took a look and found that the material has not dried out. It seems that it has only been two days. Just sealed.

No one in the nearby patrol team answered them, but Ren Xiaosu was thinking, this is probably going to be a war, otherwise why are you idle and have nothing to do to close the gate?

I'm afraid that in the entire fortress, only the east gate is left unsealed. It seems that the enemy is coming from the west? So Zhou's No. 74 barrier left only the east gate.

When they arrived at the construction site, what Ren Xiaosu and the others did was move bricks and assist the professional engineering regiment in building fortifications.

While moving bricks, Ren Xiaosu observed what Zhou's troops were doing.

The first is to transport materials and take care of them in a centralized manner. Generally, when doing this, they are preparing for a tough battle.

The second is to drop inductive mines in the river passing by the barrier. This thing seems to be specially transported by them from other barriers.

The Zhou family has many rivers and lakes, the Wang family has many plains, and the Kong family is connected to the sea. These are the topographic features of the three consortiums, so the Zhou family has a lot of research on weapons in the water.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu didn't understand after watching for a long time, what is the purpose of this defense? The defense work is so strict, ordinary troops should not enter the barrier through the water, right?

During the working period, Ren Xiaosu was not tired at all. Compared with his physical fitness, this kind of work intensity was nothing at all.

On the other hand, Fang Zhi and the others were so tired that they wanted to die. On the way to pick up the meal at noon, Fang Zhi was holding the plastic plate issued by Zhou, his hands were shaking...

Fang Zhi complained: "Ren Xiaosu, can you do some personnel work?

ah? Don't you just sit in the car and smile, why don't you? ! No, you've been working too, why don't you look tired at all. "

Ren Xiaosu cast a glance at him: "Normally, you don't do any work. When the danger comes, you people really can't run. It's for your own good to let you exercise."

"Is this what people say?" Fang Zhi was speechless: "The Central Plains is so safe now, and I haven't even seen wild animals in the wilderness. Where is the danger?"

Ren Xiaosu pointed to his feet: "Isn't this No. 74 barrier facing danger?"

Fang Zhi glanced at the dense fortifications around him, and it seemed to be true. He asked curiously, "What's going on here? Is the Qing family going to call?"

"I don't know," Ren Xiaosu shook his head, "There is not enough information to make a judgment."

The next moment, someone in the crowd was suddenly picked out by the supervisor on the construction site, and then snatched away the small filming equipment hidden in his pocket: "What do you do?"

The person who was picked out said proudly: "I'm an investigative reporter. I'm here to record what you are doing. You recruit the residents of the barriers as migrant workers, but you don't have the slightest intention of paying wages..."

As a result, when he said this, the manager on the construction site stopped the reporter, and then invited him to a side shed and gave him a better meal, but the reporter's shooting equipment was taken away.

Ren Xiaosu, Fang Zhi and the others watched from a distance, only to see that the steward sent someone to pick up a red envelope and handed it to the reporter, who immediately accepted it without mentioning the investigation.

Fang Zhi adjusted his glasses: "This is definitely not an investigative reporter from Hope Media. They are not tough at all."

"Just one red envelope?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.

"This reporter came here with the intention of extorting money. There are many reporters like this in the Central Plains. They went to investigate some of his chaos and just wanted to collect red envelopes," Fang Zhi explained.

"So that's the case, what about Hope Media? I hear what you mean, Hope Media is different?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"The editor-in-chief of Hope Media used to be an investigative reporter," Fang Zhi admired: "He hid in the coal mine of the Kong Consortium and recorded the treatment of coal miners, and he was beaten several times because of this matter. He wanted to report what he saw and heard, but none of the newspapers dared to accept it. Until this time, he went to find Xu Ke from Qinghe Group. At that time, Xu Ke had just taken over the Qinghe Group. The editor-in-chief hit it off right away, and Xu Ke said, since no newspaper dared to report, then we should set up our own newspaper to report, and only then did Hope Media come into being.”

Ren Xiaosu listened with gusto, and Fang Zhi on the side continued to sigh: "Of course, this is just a story that has been circulated from nowhere, but I hope that the media will always be tough in doing things... Hey, I also have a press card!"

Fang Zhi came to his senses at this time. He had also applied for a press card before, but of course he was not for being a reporter, but for Li Ran's assistant. It would be easier to have an extra reporter on him. Many celebrities' assistants are big A pile of identities, all bought.

Fang Zhi rummaged in his wallet. He wanted to show his press card, so he could stop working.

Let alone other things, the most important thing is not having to work.

Fang Zhi took out a card with his photo on it from his wallet, and then shouted at the person in charge on the construction site: "Me too..."

In the end, before he finished speaking, the press card was taken away by Ren Xiaosu: "No, you are not."

Fang Zhi: "???"

Ren Xiaosu explained in a low voice: "I will take you back to the barrier to find Li Ran and the others tonight. You will be taken away alone. When we leave, you will be left alone on the construction site. Would you like to?"

Fang Zhi was dubious: "You want to take us away?"

"You think I'm willing to work here? Don't worry, the barrier is so big, even if we run away, the Zhou family won't have the energy to hunt us down throughout the city," Ren Xiaosu cast a glance at him, "But before we leave, there are still things to do."

In Ren Xiaosu's memory, the supplies brought by the tour team were enough to feed everyone for two days at most, and it was obvious that there was going to be a war in Fort No. 74, and all the food was gathered in the hands of the troops. The tour team is going hungry.
