Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said to Zhou Yingxue, "Then I'll go upstairs and sleep for a few hours. Wake me up when it's noon."
"OK." Zhou Yingxue nodded.
But before Ren Xiaosu could go upstairs, he suddenly saw someone passing by on a green bicycle. There were two green cloth bags hanging from the back of the bicycle, and the words "Hope Media" were written on them.
Ren Xiaosu ran outside. "Is this today's newspaper? Give me a copy. Why aren't y 'all resting at this time? You don't look like you're delivering newspapers. "
The other party was wearing a suit. Most newspaper delivery workers would not be dressed like this.
The newspaper delivery man said with a smile, "We're staff from Hope Media. The newspaper deliverymen are all hiding at home, so we have no choice but to deliver them ourselves."
With that, he handed a copy of the newspaper to Ren Xiaosu. "Today's newspapers in Stronghold 74 are free."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Thanks."
When the plainclothes policeman next to him saw Ren Xiaosu taking a copy of the newspaper, he also took one for himself. Fang Zhi was usually the one to do such things. He would buy new newspapers wherever he passed by.
Ren Xiaosu unfolded the newspaper. Today's newspaper was a little strange. The entire four pages were devoted to the Experimentals' attack on Stronghold 74.
The main point of the first page was that the Wang Clan's spokesperson had announced to the media that they could send troops to support the Zhou Clan at any time and assist the Zhou Clan in repelling the enemy and killing the Experimentals in the southern part of the Central Plains.
However, the Zhou Clan rejected the Wang Clan's proposal and told the media that the Wang Clan should not take advantage of the situation at such a critical juncture. The Experimentals were a common enemy of mankind. If they really wanted to help, there was no need to send troops. The Zhou Clan's troops were more than enough, and they could just deliver some supplies.
Ren Xiaosu was amused. These two consortiums were actually tearing each other up in the newspapers. It seemed that the Zhou Clan thought that the Wang Clan was up to no good by sending troops. After all, no one would allow the troops of other clans to swagger in their own territory. Who knew what the other party was up to?
The second page of the newspaper was more interesting. Hope Media actually gave a detailed account of the war. However, it was mainly from the perspective of a reporter, supplemented by interviews with the higher-ups of the Zhou Clan.
There was even an emphasis on the Experimentals' strategy, shocking everyone who thought the Experimentals were just a bunch of wild beasts.
The higher Latitude civilizations had always looked down on the lower Latitude civilizations. In the eyes of many of the consortiums, the Experimentals were just barbaric beasts that could only vanish into thin air in the face of firearms and explosives. But now, the Experimentals would probably refresh their understanding of them.
When it came to the third page, the three reporters from Hope Media stationed in Stronghold 74 used their cameras to capture many moments of the battle. For example, when the Knight and the Pyro Company drove away the Experimentals from the stronghold walls and killed them, scenes that even Ren Xiaosu could not see clearly were captured by the reporters with their extremely expensive cameras.
Among them, Hope Media gave great affirmation to the Pyro Company and praised them for putting aside their position to fight against the enemy together. They also stated that new members of the Pyro Company had already joined the reinforcements in Stronghold 73.
In everyone's impression, this was probably the first time Hope Media had praised the Pyro Company.
Although the Pyro Company and the Qinghe Group had a good relationship in the past, Hope Media had always been critical of the Pyro Company's actions.
When it came to the fourth page, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized the most eye-catching photo on this page was of "Old Xu."
In the photo, "Old Xu" was wearing a white mask while the Experimentals were fleeing in panic. This scene was a little shocking because the details of the battle were captured too clearly in this photo.
The reporter from Hope Media had actually captured a lot of photos. But in the photo he chose, "Old Xu"'s figure was actually a little blurry. Only his tall and straight figure and the conspicuous white mask could be seen clearly. The clearest thing in the photo was the Experimentals' expressions.
It was no longer a fierce expression, but one of fear.
The title of this page was even: "The Age of Gods."
This newspaper elevated the status of supernatural beings to another level. Even the terrifying Experimentals were reduced to a foil to the supernatural beings.
Of course, there was actually a lot of embellishment in this. After all, everyone involved in the battle knew the most terrifying thing about the Experimentals was their numbers. Even the Pyro Company could not compare to their numbers and their cruelty.
As Ren Xiaosu read the newspaper, Zhou Yingxue kept glancing at Ren Xiaosu from the side. She whispered, "Master, that's you, right?"
Ren Xiaosu whispered in surprise, "How did you guess it was? Is it that obvious? Did you figure it out from my figure or something?"
"That's not it. You deliberately put on a bulky outfit so I couldn't tell from your figure. But since I didn't see you on the entire page of the newspaper, I thought it might be you. After all, only you're so valiant that you can chase the Experimentals away," Zhou Yingxue muttered.
Ren Xiaosu was speechless. Zhou Yingxue had actually deduced it by elimination. Just because she did not see him on the newspaper, she thought he was the strongest?
In any case, regardless of whether the person wearing the white mask was Ren Xiaosu or not, she had already flattered him.
But while the two of them were whispering to each other, a plainclothes policeman next to them said with a smile, "Didn't you say you also went to participate in the battle? Why didn't I see you on the newspaper? Didn't you still go into hiding? "
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him and ignored him, lest he got more excited the more he talked. Among the people present, even Mu Wange did not know the person wearing the white mask was him. After all, it was Ren Xiaosu himself who had saved Mu Wange.
Therefore, since he had hidden his identity, he did not want to expose it so that the Pyro Company's wrath would not be directed at him after the battle.
Ren Xiaosu continued flipping through the newspaper. The entertainment section even mentioned Li Ran, but the topic was also related to the battle at Stronghold 74. It was about the concert that had been canceled due to some reason.
At this moment, the sound of glass shattering came from the street outside the hotel. The commotion woke Li Ran and the others up. Wrapped in a blanket, Li Ran opened her sleepy eyes. "What's the matter?"
When Ren Xiaosu walked out to have a look, he was surprised to see a group of people smashing the glass windows of a grocery store and a grain and oil store on the street.
After smashing the windows, a large group of people rushed in like a swarm of bees in search of food.
With the first person doing this, more people would immediately join in the robbery. This kind of thing was like a contagious virus, but it was extremely despicable.
"The aftereffects of the Zhou Clan's confiscation of food are here." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Stronghold 74 has been on lockdown for several days now, and the grain and oil stores have been emptied out by Zhou's Army. Many of the residents don't have anything to eat now, and starving people are capable of doing anything."
