Chapter 152: Abnormal Earthquake

With Tony and their joining, the crisis of the 'News Agency' has been solved, and the effect is even better than Zhang Taibai expected, just look at the old Warren with a spring breeze.

Compared with when Zhang Taibai saw him before, he was completely two mental outlooks.

Originally, the 'news agency' was faced with two problems, the first was the problem of commentators being poached by the 'Paradise newspaper' and the loss of users, which is no longer a problem; and the second problem was that there were many old partners of the 'Extraordinary Times', whose attitudes became ambiguous because of Rudolph's absence, and some even simply cut off contact.

This is very detrimental to the 'Extraordinary Times', because for newspapers, the timeliness of news is crucial, and the lack of partners will lead to slow down the intelligence.

Of course, compared with the commentators being poached collectively, the problem of the partner is not prominent, because the consequences of the latter take a certain amount of time to occur, but the former is immediate, as soon as the person is poached, there will be a large-scale loss of users, so it is the most urgent.

But now that the Avengers have joined, the problem of the former has been directly solved, and the latter needs to be solved next.

Zhang Taibai originally planned to go directly to the door one by one to have a good chat with those partners, but he didn't think that he would not be able to do what Rudolph could do.

But the old Warren told him not to be so troublesome for the time being, because the addition of the Avengers not only solves the problem of user churn, but also for the outside world, this is also a muscle show of the 'Extraordinary Times', which can be seen from the side The soft power of the 'Extraordinary Times'.

Therefore, some of those ambiguous partners will take the initiative to reconcile, and even those who have broken off contact may come back to the door.

What to do now is to let the bullets fly for a while, and there is no need to rush.

Even old Warren said so, Zhang Taibai was also happy to be idle, and after entrusting the trivial matters to Laura, Zhang Taibai became the shopkeeper again.

……

That afternoon, the store happened to be relatively idle, and Zhang Taibai sat in the corner of his most commonly used card seat, swiping the client of 'Chaofan Times' with his mobile phone.

Brushing and brushing, an inconspicuous little news caught his attention.

[A 4.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in XXXX, Egypt, with heavy casualties, and the epicenter was close to the surface, but there was no sign of any explosion, which has attracted the attention of relevant departments! 】

This report is very inconspicuous, Zhang Taibai clicked in and took a look, and found that the number of comments was very small, only single digits, which can be said to be basically equivalent to no one paying attention.

If Zhang Taibai hadn't just returned from Egypt and made a trip to the 'Tomb of Imhetep', he would probably not have paid special attention to Egypt if he happened to be more sensitive to the country of Egypt.

But it was this unprovoked attention that made him sense that something was wrong.

The hypocenter is close to the surface?

This one alone is weird enough.

This means that the earthquake is not really caused by changes in the earth's crust, but by some powerful impact that causes the earth to shake, which is often caused by a man-made event such as an explosion or a nuclear test, so the epicenter is close to the surface.

But the news also says that there are no obvious traces of explosions there.

This is undoubtedly somewhat paradoxical.

After noticing this, Zhang Taibai immediately called old Warren.

"Good afternoon, boss, what's the matter?" Old Warren answered the phone and asked with a smile.

"There is an article in the news today about the XXXX earthquake in Egypt, I want to talk to the person who wrote this news, if it is convenient for you to help me find him, let him call me."

"No problem, I'll get in touch." Old Warren happily agreed.

Zhang Taibai put down his mobile phone and waited for the call.

It was only about a minute before the phone rang.

"This old Warren is quite efficient." Zhang Taibai shook his head with a smile, and at the same time picked up the phone from the table and answered the channel, "Hello?" ”

"Hello boss, I'm Johnson, the same reporter who covered the earthquake in Egypt, and Director Warren said you want to find me?" A very respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I want to ask you something." Zhang Taibai said.

"Speak, please."

"Why did you report this news, the earthquake news should have nothing to do with the transcendent world, why did you put it in the 'Transcendent Times'?" Zhang Taibai's tone couldn't hear joy and anger.

But Johnson on the other end of the phone suddenly thought that Zhang Taibai was dissatisfied with his work and did not approve, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry boss, I, I will pay attention to ...... next time"

"Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to criticize you, I just wanted to find out why you noticed this." Zhang Taibai reassured.

Johnson on the other end of the phone was a little relieved, calmed down and said, "It's such a boss, I happened to come to Egypt on a business trip these days, originally for another thing, and then I felt an earthquake, and my city is not far from there...... After noticing the hypocenter close to the surface, my gut told me that something might be wrong. ”

"So I simply rushed to the place where the earthquake occurred overnight to investigate."

"What are your conclusions?" Zhang Taibai asked.

"My conclusion is that this matter is most likely related to the world of the Transcendental!" Johnson on the other end of the phone was very determined at this time.

"How?"

"I think the boss should know what this means when the epicenter is close to the surface, and I was sure that there wasn't such a massive explosion here after I did a field survey." Johnson continued.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Taibai was a little curious.

"Don't hide it from the boss, I'm a mutant, and my abilities are olfactory and visual enhancements, although they are only auxiliary abilities, but they have brought a lot of help to my career." Johnson was still proud when he said this, "Based on my years of experience, and the feeling I have had after the field investigation, I can basically conclude that this earthquake has nothing to do with explosions or anything like that." ”

"So you think this has something to do with the world of the Transcendental?"

"Yes, I can only think of that possibility." Johnson honestly admitted, "The only problem is that this movement is a bit too big, and the seismic force of this magnitude is almost comparable to some large-yield nuclear tests, and if it really has something to do with the transcendent world, then the cause of this earthquake, whether it is something or someone, is too terrible......"

When Johnson said this, he was also a little frightened by his own speculation, he hadn't thought about it deeply, but when he talked to Zhang Taibai at this time, he realized the horror of the matter!

And when Zhang Taibai heard this, a name suddenly popped up in his mind-

"Are you still in Egypt?" Zhang Taibai asked.

"It's still there." Johnson replied.

"Come back quickly, Egypt may not be peaceful in the near future." Zhang Taibai groaned.

"Boss, do you know what's going on?" Johnson heard a little bit of meaning.

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess, but if I'm right, you'll soon find out what happened to this earthquake...... Don't ask, hurry up and book tickets, the sooner you leave, the better, the company asked and said what I said, well, that's it. Zhang Taibai confessed.

Johnson heard what Zhang Taibai said so seriously, and also realized that the situation might be critical, and hurriedly said, "Okay boss, I'll go straight to the airport." ”

"Interesting, it can't be that one...... "Zhang Taibai rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, he felt the need to contact Tutankan.
