Chapter 1013: For the Journalism Award
Piero's legs trembled for half a minute when he heard the interview assignment from the editor-in-chief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho among the inhabitants of Naples would not know the name of Mike Dragon's Roar, although at first he did not receive much attention, at least much less than the long-standing Anomaly, the Anomaly. However, since the Fog Incident, he has quickly replaced the homeless man in the Anomaly Village as the biggest celebrity in Naples.
"You have to go, or pack up and go home!" the editor-in-chief wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "Don't be afraid, Mike Dragonroar is actually the majority shareholder of the head office, the boss of the boss. He still needs you to work, and he won't kill you. ”
"No one else can go?" asked Piero in a trembling voice.
"If you can convince other people, I don't mind. The editor-in-chief quickly shook the pot. "You've got two minutes to do this, and their bugs are just at the door, waiting. ”
"It's impossible for me to convince people in such a short period of time. Will this work, can you give me a salary increase, or a special bonus, so that I can be emboldened?" Piero stopped shaking his legs. He folded his hands in front of his chest and winked at the editor-in-chief with his head tilted sideways. After hearing that he would increase his salary by 50 percent starting next month, Piero finally reluctantly agreed.
But when he climbed onto the back of the worm and comfortably headed in the direction of the volcano, he had a big smile on his face. As a young man full of enthusiasm and self-motivation, he is not afraid of death, and it is a sad thing not to get ahead. The decline of the mighty Italian army in front of Mack Dragon's roar was already very obvious, and this was not something that could be redeemed by the number of slogans shouted by the prime minister, the number of speeches he made, and the number of war bonds sold. As the victorious side, not to mention that Mike Dragon Roar is a supernatural being, he is the true body of Satan who came to the earth, and Piero must also meet it. Just sign your name under "Exclusive Interview with Mike Dragon's Roar" and you'll be able to go down in history.
The porter led him through the streets of Naples, where order had been largely restored. Mike Dragonroar is a strange occupier, he has no interest in banks, police, post offices, municipal offices, etc., and only has strict requirements for disarming. He didn't control the running water, the electricity, or the traffic, and the inhabitants of Naples didn't seem to change much from before, except for the terrible bugs they saw all day long.
Those bugs have the strange ability to detect metal objects from a great distance, and they can also smell explosives. Some residents had guns and ammunition hidden in their homes, and they were slowly being found. At this time, you can choose to hand it over, or you can choose to shoot to resist, but the final result of the gun will not change, and it will be destroyed by the bugs.
"They take our weapons, eliminate our resistance, and kill us!" was a popular argument in the early days, but no one believes it anymore. It was discovered that the bugs had the strength to slaughter the entire city at any time, with or without weapons. They haven't done that, they're not interested in cities. Gradually, even daily patrols became scarce (in fact, because the number of surveillance bugs kept up, they floated in the sky and did not need jumping dogs to patrol the ground). In addition to the "stinging snakes" with long tails that can always be seen in rural and agricultural areas, the green "goblins" are more common. They are chattering, especially interested in human factories, and they always take the trouble to check, check, check, but no one knows what they are inspecting.
Leaving town and embarking on the eerie fuchsia road, the speed of carrying bugs increased significantly, giving Piero the feeling of sitting in a car. There was a comforting feeling in the breeze that brought back memories of his childhood in the forest. He has been outside the city I don't know how many times, Vesuvius is an important part of his life, but there has never been the atmosphere of the present. The powerful vitality created by the polyp, Z worm, and blue crystal makes the natural force here completely burst out. All life is thriving, and nature gives people a feeling that only a primeval jungle can have.
Whenever you look north, you'll be blown away by the huge starfish mothership. Countless press releases have used the starfish mothership as a cover photo, and the photo of it in the same frame as Vesuvius is thought to have locked up this year's journalism awards, whether it's Pulitzer or Hersael. However, Piero is ambitious, and no report is more impactful than an interview with Mike Dragon, and he has to give his all to seize the opportunity.
The porter quickly sent him halfway up the mountain, and he also met Zhao Mai as he wished. It doesn't belong to the palace of the conqueror, and it doesn't have the aggressive imposing of the invaders. Zhao Mai sat on a wide and thick meadow, his lowered eyes slightly open, as if he was contemplating. The loose robe must have not been washed for at least a month or two, but fortunately it was only a little dirty but did not smell. Some small gray insects crawled at Zhao Mai's feet, and when Piero's gaze swept over, he immediately burrowed into the dirt, as if he was ashamed to see people.
"Mr. Mike Dragon?"
Zhao Mai waved his hand: "It's a mistake, you should use Lord Mike Dragon Roar, or His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is better." I have called you to do one thing, and that is to describe me as the conqueror and careerist of the world, the greatest enemy of human civilization and society, a mad anti-industrialist, a fanatical primitive nature worshipper. Are you sure?"
"Huh?" Piero was stunned for a moment, and all the drafts he had prepared in his mind ran out at once. "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, don't you need to beautify yourself?"
"It's about beautifying yourself. Zhao Mai smiled and said, "You can't let me admit that I'm going to turn all human beings into worms, right?" ”
Piero swallowed his saliva hard, forcing himself to take a deep breath. He kept reminding himself in his mind to pay attention to professionalism, and now only professionalism could force him not to turn around and run away immediately. "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, I am a subordinate employee of the LEX Group, I work for you, please don't turn me into a bug, okay?"
"I'm not going to turn anyone into a bug. Especially if you're so useful. Zhao Mai said seriously, but even Piero wouldn't believe the truth. "To get back to the point, I have my own media, and it's just through this channel that I tell everyone what I think. Do you think it's better for me to use a manifesto, or an interview?"
"Of course, the interview is the best. Piero thought about his career, and possibly journalism awards, and of course chose interviews.
"Okay, you start asking, anything. Zhao Mai said: "Don't be nervous, show your skills." If you win the journalism award, it's a good thing for the LEX Group, and I'll be satisfied. ”
"Do you know what's going on in my mind?"
"Is this the first question?" Zhao Mai sat still and nodded, Guangguang's head was hairless, and the sunlight reflected bright spots of light on it. He admitted, "Yes, I have psychic powers, I can read your thoughts, I can control your mind, and even modify your memories." It's just the least used of all my abilities. ”
