Most of the passengers on this empty boat seem to be very familiar with the interview style of the reporters on Happiness Island.

- One could even say that they turned a blind eye.

After seeing the iconic pink helicopter, the passengers who had already gone out immediately turned back and returned to their seats.

Of course, it's not too boring.

Anyway, at the moment when they successfully landed, they were already connected to the public WiFi of Happiness Island, and they could already surf the Internet normally.

The chip that is implanted in the back of each person's head and provides a personal identity code also has a considerable degree of convenience in daily life.

You don't need to bring money when you go out, you don't need to sign any documents when you travel, you don't need to bring any documents to sign a contract or handle business, all of which can be authenticated by chips.

At the same time, it also provides the function of the "brainscreen".

It's like a "screen" or a "screen...... Images and words are reflected directly in front of your eyes, and sound is transmitted to your brain.

You don't need to bring any equipment, you can browse the web, query information, or listen to songs and watch videos anytime and anywhere.

You can also call out the keyboard, tap in the void or on the desktop, and reply to messages to relatives and friends. Of course, there are daily chat modes that are purely ideological, but if you want to use written language, you still need to think a little bit about it.

While most people go back to their seats to entertain themselves, there are a few who seem to be from other empty islands and have never been to the island of happiness.

They curiously stood at the door of the airship and watched, turning on the recording mode for the three helicopters that were gradually descending.

Russell actually understands them.

Under normal circumstances, how could there be several helicopter gunships flying directly over and landing on the face of civilian airboats?

Most likely, there is some dangerous person in this empty boat, or some accident has happened. In that case, it may be dangerous to hide in your seat, so it is better to stand in the doorway.

Otherwise, it's a big shot...... They might even be able to take a group photo while they were standing at the door. If you go back and post it on social networking sites, you can still get a lot of followers.

Soon, their curiosity was satisfied.

I saw twelve black-clad men wearing explosion-proof helmets with tactical goggles and gas filters, and heavy insulated body armor, jumping down from two large helicopters with rope ladders.

They are armed with submachine guns that fire rubber bullets, "guard batons" that can be lengthened and shortened around their waists, and can be turned into electric shock batons at any time, and their left arms have been converted into mechanical prosthetics.

Russell even recognized the model of the prosthetic — it was a new model called the Three-Fist Iron Claw.

It was developed by Russell's teacher three months ago and designed by Russell himself. Russell even knew the entire internal structure of this model's prosthesis.

In addition to being equipped with three pop-up blades, it can also fire three flashbangs, smoke grenades, or stun grenades in pre-reload order, along with four common interfaces.

This stuff doesn't come cheap.

After all, it is still new, there are no pirates, imitations and second-hand goods, and all the goods are currently supplied directly by air from Sogo Island.

Because the supply is too small, the price can't come down at all.

It's like the latest air-based graphics card in another world, it's all good stuff in the air-based system.

Those who can be purchased and installed at the first time must at least be the direct subsidiaries of the Big Seven.

Under the filming and onlookers of the surrounding people, this group of heavily armed strong men got off the helicopter and rushed towards the surrounding crowd.

Instead of using electric stun guns, they raised their electric batons in the form of long sticks and shouted loudly—

"Stand back!"

"No video!"

"Be quiet!"

The crowd quickly retreated in fear, soon forming an empty circle and the noise gradually became smaller. But even so, the crowd of onlookers near the landing pad did not disperse.

Moreover, although these strong men in black shouted "no video", Russell looked at those people as if they were in a daze, their heads motionless and looked straight ahead, and he knew that they must still be recording.

But these people didn't really care about that.

After driving the crowd out of a large clearing, the six men in black stood in all corners of the clearing, put away their electric batons, raised their rifles and looked at the crowd outside, and entered a state of alert that they could shoot at any time.

The remaining half of the men in black turned around and rushed into the airboat.

They brandished unelectrified "guard sticks" that had been retracted into the shape of short sticks, and ordered the passengers standing in the doorway to step back and sit back in their seats.

"Don't affect news gathering and editing behavior!"

"The personal code of the disturbance will be recorded!"

"We're going to be videotaped, keep quiet!"

Only a dull, frog-like middle-aged man didn't realize what was happening.

He stood in the doorway, watching the people around him step back and glancing at them mockingly.

Then, without warning or warning, his back was whipped with a stick.

Luckily, the stick wasn't energized, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious instantly.

As soon as the man wanted to get angry, he was immediately aimed at the muzzles of the six black holes.

A thin red light suddenly shot out from above the tactics eyepieces of the men in black, leaving six moving red spots on the man's body.

The middle-aged man immediately became quiet at a speed visible to the naked eye, and retreated to his place with a polite smile.

After driving everyone away, they left two men behind, standing in front of the hatch on the inside of the airship like door gods, not letting anyone through, and being careful not to show any of their bodies - at least from the outside, they couldn't see that there were two people hiding here.

Soon, all the passengers standing were yelled at and rushed back to their seats.

Except for Russell and Amirus.

When these people saw Amirus, or rather, when they saw Amirus's elven ears, they immediately restrained their indifference.

Except for the two standing guards, the remaining four took turns to salute Amirus.

And as for Russell......

Maybe Amirus kept him in the way and didn't take the initiative to introduce them.

After the old elf had already shown this attitude, the men in black didn't even glance at him as if they hadn't seen Russell at all. Not to mention looking at him curiously, or asking about his identity.

There were even two people who stood in front of Amirus very consciously, holding up the stun guns in their hands, and guarding one left and one right.

The last two people patrolled back and forth between the first class and the two corridors of the public cabin.

It looked like they had hijacked the airship. Much more professional than the previous group of mercenaries.

The black-clad men remained absolutely silent. Whether those passengers are chatting on the Internet with a calm face, or whispering curses in fear, or whispering to those around them in confusion...... As long as the voices made by these passengers do not reach the outside to affect the filming, and they do not rush out into the frame, they are deaf.

Making space, being quiet, and protecting the elves' personal safety – they didn't ask the passengers to do anything, they didn't do anything to them.

…… Can they dispatch three helicopter gunships and two teams of heavily armed security personnel just to do something like this?

Russell was dumbfounded.

Although the weapons in the hands of these security personnel could only fire rubber bullets, just listening to their unusually heavy footsteps, Russell could directly tell that their prosthetic modification was at least more than 70%.

I am afraid that they will not die if they are strafed by machine guns or bombarded by missiles.

But listen to what Amirus means......

These people weren't even specially shaken by him to protect themselves?

"It's normal."

Amirus read the surprise and shock in Russell's expression, so he directly opened his mouth and patiently explained to Russell: "In the past, there have been many hijackings, attacks, and assassinations of reporters on Happy Island, as well as kidnapping reporters to manipulate and influence the content of interviews. ”

“…… Why? ”

"Because on Happiness Island, Happiness Daily's 'reporter interview' is broadcast live on the Internet. And as with the rules of the other Sky Islands, all public interviews are kept on file on the Order's servers. While the number of people who happen to see the live news is certainly a handful of people, the people who see it don't necessarily don't save the footage — they also have the right to repost or edit it. ”

The old elf replied: "However, the 'Happiness Daily' itself has no right to crop or modify the news content that has been interviewed in any form. In the general daily newspaper the next day, they chose to post or not to publish the interview video at most, and could not selectively publish part of the content. Because anyone with a little permission can access the Order's server at any time to query and download these public interview videos.

This means that once a reporter is held hostage or induced to ask an unfavorable question, or if a reporter is interviewed by a reporter who has entered a sudden, discordant environmental noise, it cannot be modified. And it will stay forever.

"These professional security guards are there to protect journalists from being bribed, controlled, induced, attacked, assassinated, or kidnapped. Not only at work, but also in everyday life this protection does not end. ”

The old elf said with a smile.

Although his expression was rather gentle, he looked as civilized and calm as an old gentleman. There was no mention of any faux pas in the words, but Russell felt a very faint, but sufficiently clear mockery, in his words.

It's like an oil stain soaked in a white shirt, so inconspicuous and at the same time obscure enough.

Although Amirus's words are more tactful.

But Russell was clearly aware of another meaning hidden in Amirus's words.

- This kind of protection, but also surveillance. It's a threat.

In order to ensure that journalists are not held hostage and say "things that should not be said", two heavily armed prosthetic units are sent to protect them around the clock......

Well, if the people who sent these guards ...... What about personally controlling, inducing, and bribing these journalists?
