Chapter 256: Revenge of the Survivors
When Wu Chang entered the conference room and spoke his first words, all the media present became alert.

"Good evening, everyone. Mr. Schultz needs to devote himself to research and has no time to take care of the company's development, so he entrusted me to manage the company. From today on, I am the new chairman of Anthem Company."

He paused for a moment and continued, "My name is Sean, Sean Brown."

The media people who were sent to attend the original press conference all had a basic understanding of Anthem Company. Many people knew about the existence of Sean, a lazy eccentric who just wanted to eat and wait for death.

The news that Sean took over as chairman was as explosive as Schultz's retirement.

Wu Chang coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the media below to gather their attention, and then said:

"I will make three announcements and the rest will be handed over to our news department staff."

"First of all, my appointment will not affect the rules set by Schultz. Whether it is the operating philosophy of Anthem, the internal promotion assessment rules, or even the departmental cuts and personnel appointments, I do not intend to make any changes."

"Everything remains the same. Anthem will remain the Anthem the world knows."

This is not only for the world, but also for Anthem employees around the world.

A new official will start with three big moves upon taking office. This method of establishing authority is common all over the world. Especially the newly appointed manager Sean, who is a well-known relative of the company. No one knows how he will mess up the company, and all the employees are in danger.

Regardless of whether Wu Chang’s declaration this time is true or not, at least it gives everyone a reassurance on the surface.

"Secondly, as you have just seen, our Anthem Company's Prime Weapons have been a great success. Not only the ordinary Prime Weapons, but also the laboratory's confidential Hymn-level Prime Weapons have equally outstanding effects."

"I'm sure everyone should have recorded the battle just now. It doesn't matter if it's not clear. We have officially recorded it at the Song, and it will be released along with the aircraft parameters later."

The second point Wu Chang announced instantly diverted everyone's attention from the first point.

They had seen the fight between several giants before.

Although the battle was extremely restrained and did not even leave the square, it did not tear down the entire city to add to the fun like in some monster special effects dramas. It was like a large open-air AR performance.

But as those who had experienced the battle firsthand, they could guarantee with anything that it was definitely not an ordinary performance.

Everyone was very curious. Among the three giants who had just fought, some were the Hymn-class elemental weapons of the Anthem Company.

One, two, or all three.

Wu Chang did not give the audience more time to think, and then said:

"As for the third piece of news, I'm afraid it's not good news for you, or even for the entire human race."

"The world we live in has actually been under constant surveillance by alien beings. The huge Buddha statue that appeared in the battle just now was an alien. They visited our world thousands of years ago and attempted to rule the world."

"Not only him, but also the strong man driving the ram chariot, the man in a suit flying quickly in the sky, and the woman holding a snake staff. If you read carefully, you can find similar prototypes of characters in the myths of different countries."

"This is not a coincidence, this is a planned, organized, long-term invasion."

As soon as this sentence came out, the media people present went crazy.

What does it mean? Myths and legends from all over the world are based on aliens?
If the speaker was an unknown netizen, everyone present would just think that he had a mental problem. It's a different era now, and he's still playing around with elementary school conspiracy theories.

But the person who said this was Sean, the chairman of Anthem Company, and a mythical battle had just happened right in front of them, which forced them to think about the authenticity of it.

One of the bravest reporters stood up and asked:

"Chairman Sean, what you just said is the background setting of the Hymn-class Essence Weapon?"

Wu Chang said: "It's true."

Wu Chang's affirmation made the atmosphere off the field even more explosive.

You know, more than 80% of the people in the world have faith. The federation where Anthem Company is located is a religious country, and most people believe in a certain religion in a fanatical and conservative way.

What they believe in...

Wu Chang saw the doubts in everyone's hearts and said, "You are right. All the gods in mythology are aliens in a sense. It's just that some have integrated into us, while others have chosen to leave and wait for the right time to return and reap the harvest."

The reporters present all cried out in surprise. Some of the reporters with poor self-control had their faces flushed and were shouting that they wanted to come up and punch Wu Chang.

Before the security personnel could make any move, a huge figure with white upper body and black lower body appeared next to reporter Hong Wen and picked him up.

As soon as your feet leave the ground, the virus is shut down and your smart IQ takes over again.

The reporter was lifted up by the scruff of the neck and thrown into the air. The angry look in Hong Wen's eyes instantly cleared up. He was carried around the venue twice by a figure and when he was put back in his original position, he had become extremely well-behaved.

A huge figure flashed and appeared behind Wu Chang the next moment.

Wu Chang said calmly, "In fact, some of the conspiracy theories about Anthem Company are correct. Anthem Company has been cracking alien technology since a long time ago, and has been cooperating privately with federal officials."

"The psychic energy stimulation surgery that is most well known to everyone is one of the important achievements. Now, we have completed the basic analysis of the alien technology. From today on, our Anthem Company will be able to enable ordinary humans to possess the power that belongs exclusively to gods in mythology."

The reporters looked at the huge figure in white on top and black on the bottom, then looked at their colleagues who had just flown a circle, then looked at Wu Chang who had been giving a speech, and finally looked at the big screen.

It’s broken, my eyes are not enough.

It's not just the eyes, the brain is not enough either. A large amount of information pours in, almost burning out everyone's CPU.

Wu Chang continued:

"The more ignorant you are about this matter, the better protected you are, because we have been marked from the beginning. Once our world and civilization progress to a certain level, it will attract aliens to reap all our achievements."

This statement is not a lie, because the copy plane has long been targeted by the Abyss Game. Strictly speaking, the players who descended are aliens.

"In order to cope with the impending disaster, develop quickly and get all kinds of support as soon as possible, we have cooperated with the federal government and done many things that are not glorious. For this, I can apologize, but I will not regret it, and I will not stop."

Wu Chang looked around at the dumbfounded media people and said with a smile:

"To be honest, there is no need to let you and ordinary people know this information. I tell you this not to express the greatness of Anthem Company, nor to show the heroism of saving the world alone."

"I tell you this so that everyone knows that the reason why our civilization has come this far is that it is human beings themselves who are truly great, not some other existence."

After Wu Chang finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for others to react.

The silent conference hall was left to the confused media members and the equally confused Minister of Information.

Liam Liu, the Minister of Information, looked at Wu Chang's back with tears in his eyes. Chairman, this part was not included in the prepared part of the press conference.

What should I do if you run away after showing off?

Wu Chang left the venue and sighed as he looked at the huge logo of Anthem Company in the first floor hall.

Schultz's bloody last words were too dark, and he was temporarily unable to do anything about it, but Xiao Wish could still fulfill part of it for him.

It can be predicted that the gods believed by the world are all aliens. Once this information is spread, the world will definitely be in chaos.

Regardless of what religion the believers believe in, they will probably regard the Anthem Company as a heresy, especially the fanatical believers with firm beliefs, who may even initiate some extreme actions against the Anthem Company.

But it doesn't matter. He used to be the manager of the fully automatic defense system department. He knows that the defense system will never show mercy when dealing with thugs.

If the fanatics in this world could never be killed and had to have a god to place their faith in in order to survive, he wouldn't mind moving Irene here and letting her harvest the faith of this plane.

The press conference just held not only fulfilled Schultz's unfulfilled wish, but also put an end to everything tonight.

This is his private space, and Anthem Company is now in his hands, so of course he has to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

By portraying the concept of aliens as the public enemy of mankind, one can gain the reputation of protecting humanity and justify many of Anthem's past actions. At the same time, it can also blame the aliens for the wealthy people who were killed by Schultz tonight.

Eighty percent of the media in the copy plane are controlled by the Federation, and the most mainstream media in the Federation have the presence of Anthem Company behind them.

He only needs to come up with a self-consistent argument, and it is not up to the natives of the plane to believe it or not.

Do you know what journalism is?
While the company's attention was focused on the press conference, Wu Changben changed his clothes, left the company by car, and came to the small river outside Danube Street.

The place where Raymond and Mok once met, his true self and Raymond were waiting here.

Wu Chang pretended to be unfamiliar with the real me. The two had a brief conversation, and then Wu Chang passed a piece of information to Raymond and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Before Wu Chang came, Zhenyi, as a righteous member of the "aliens" fighting against the invasion of the dimension, had already done a lot of preparation for Raymond.

The real me transformed into a sea giant in front of Raymond, and Raymond also saw Booker and others disappear into light from a close distance. In addition, the extraordinary powers used by everyone during this period were obviously not something that ordinary humans could obtain through psychic stimulation surgery.

Taking all these factors together, Raymond accepted the idea of ​​aliens very smoothly.

Raymond quickly flipped through the information on his phone, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

The information contained in the document is very extensive, including but not limited to the fact that the mastermind behind the Sid tragedy was actually a conspiracy between the federal military, the CIA, the FBI, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The FBI is responsible for setting up the trap, the military is responsible for stimulating the disqualified monsters and acting, and the CIA is responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to deal with the diehards and the indigenous people of Sid Town.

The real estate company opened by the husband of the Speaker of the House of Representatives was responsible for purchasing local disaster-stricken properties at low prices and completely transformed the original scenic town into a luxury resort.

Including Raymond, many orphans were sent to welfare homes. In the welfare homes, they learned about the Sid tragedy through various channels and vowed to take revenge.

Some of the best among them, such as Raymond, have a belief in revenge that surpasses everything else and are willing to make tremendous efforts for it. At this time, the CIA will take the initiative to contact them, give them a chance, and promise that as long as they work hard enough, the CIA will help them find out the truth of that year.

Orphans like Raymond are like nuclear-powered cattle and horses, chasing the "carrot" of revenge hanging in front of them.

They carry out the most dangerous missions, do the most shady work, and finally, holding on to hope, die like a stray dog ​​in some unknown alley.

For example, the mission Raymond is carrying out this time, whether it is to steal the secrets of Anthem Company according to the original plan, or to track down the Anthem Hunter later, after the mission is completed, when he contacts Mok again, Mok will kill him without hesitation.

The intelligence Wu Chang provided included not only the part about Sid Town, but also the part about Raymond. Raymond always thought that his infiltration and disguise were perfect, but in fact, the wealthy Moretz, who took a fancy to him by accident, was actually cooperating with him in acting.

Moretz was one of the biggest beneficiaries of Sid Town back then. He had close ties with the upper echelons, and the mission to steal Anthem Company's secrets was even at his request.

Schultz, whom Raymond regarded as his biggest enemy, knew that it was he who did it when Raymond first sneaked into the second laboratory and stole the disqualified monster conversion agent.

Schultz just pretended not to know, causing Moretz, Mok and others to misjudge his control over Anthem, and then relax their vigilance and not do more tricks.

Just wait until the hymn plan is carried out, and then settle the matter together.

Each piece of information above has detailed and complete evidence, and it is not difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Raymond looked at the information in his hand, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. His pupils were dilated, as if he had lost his soul.

Raymond has always presented himself as a social elite, not only to maintain his image as a tycoon's assistant, but also because he is extremely conceited about his own abilities.

He was an orphan, but with his high IQ and EQ, he had constant opportunities in life and learned skills that many people could not master. He was appreciated by the CIA and became an agent.

He can get away with it in countless dangerous missions. He is the ace agent of the CIA and the IRS. He moves easily between the CIA and the IRS, using the power of the two major organizations to avenge himself.

He was able to manipulate the legendary financial street tycoon Moretz in the palm of his hand, planned the coincidences perfectly, and easily gained Moretz's trust.

He took revenge with his superb skills. Even a giant like the Anthem Company was helpless against him and was easily defeated by him.

But when he saw Wu Chang's intelligence, he realized that all of this was just a false illusion deliberately created by others.

Even his entire life, his every move, and the deepest thoughts in his heart all came from the manipulation and guidance of others.

what is this?
clown?

No, no, no, although the clown is funny, but when the clown performs on stage, he clearly knows that he is a clown.

And he always thought that he was performing an elegant drama. He thought he was the protagonist, the prince of revenge, and the person favored by fate.

He looked at the idiotically grinning audience members and thought they were all fools and stupid people who were not smart enough to appreciate art, or understand his expressive micro-expressions and exquisite lines. They would only laugh at certain flaws he deliberately revealed.

He despised these people.

But in the eyes of the audience, his performance was not elegant at all. He was obviously a domestic fat duck, but he had a bloated and obese body and tried hard to play the role of a white swan.

It's like four 500-pound fat guys with hairy chests and legs and three layers of folds on their bellies, standing hand in hand on the stage, wearing torn little ballet skirts, proudly performing the Four Little Swans.

The smiles on their faces were not silly smiles, but smiles that they forced out when they could no longer hold back.

This huge sense of gap almost destroyed Raymond's spirit. The shame that subverted his cognition even overshadowed his anger and hatred after discovering the truth.

Wu Chang looked at the pale-faced Raymond. He felt a little regretful that he had given all the information to Raymond in one breath in order to save time.

Maybe Raymond was so shocked that his child became stupid.

Fortunately, Raymond was indeed a very capable person. Ten minutes later, the CPU finally restarted and his pupils regained focus.

Wu Chang's original body was posing in a cool and aloof manner, and his real self asked with concern: "Raymond, are you okay?"

Raymond smiled bitterly and said, "It's terrible. Even worse than the day when Sid's tragedy happened. Just now, I even thought of abandoning reason and escaping from reality."

"But when I thought about the relatives who died in the Sid tragedy and the orphans who were exploited by the CIA, I came to my senses again. I must do something for them."

At this moment, the Anthem Company, which Raymond originally hated the most, became the most insignificant target. Raymond was even grateful for the information sent by Wu Chang's original body.

You know, there is a lot of intelligence in it, all of which are the highest level federal secrets. It is extremely difficult to know them, not to mention that each piece of intelligence is followed by evidence to verify the complete chain.

A lot of the information in it may not even be known to Mok, and only Anthem Company has the means and energy to do so.

My true self patted Raymond on the shoulder and said, "Everything will pass."

Raymond looked at Wu Chang's body and asked, "Mr. Sean, I want to expose these things. I hope you can help me."

Wu Changben, who was posing at the side, said coldly: "I don't have the habit of doing charity. Giving you information is just to repay the favor of the guy next to you."

Raymond took a deep breath and said, "As long as I have your support, I am sure I can use this incident to get promoted and take control of the CIA. Then the CIA will be the CIA of Anthem Company."

"No matter what kind of guarantee you need, even if you have to implant a special chip in my head, I'm willing to do it!"

Wu Chang's body shook his head and turned away.

Raymond looked at Wu Chang's back, clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to say something, but he was too weak to speak. He lowered his head with frustration on his face.

At this moment, Wu Chang, who had walked five meters, stopped and said:
"I can help you find a fearless reporter, and then find a few professional teams to push this matter behind the scenes. Then, I can accidentally reveal that you are one of the few survivors in Sid Town to help you build momentum."

Raymond raised his head suddenly, his pupils widened.

Wu Chang continued, "I'll give you two months. Within two months after the incident is exposed, Anthem Company will provide you with the help you need. During this time, you must at least enter the core of power of the CIA."

"My people will evaluate you in real time. Don't let me down."

Raymond immediately assured: "Mr. Sean, I can guarantee that from now on your will will be the will of the CIA!"

Wu Chang nodded and continued to leave.

He nodded not because he thought Raymond was determined, but because of a system prompt in front of him.

"Players complete the hidden side quest: help Raymond complete his revenge, uncover the truth about the Sid Town tragedy, and stop the real conspiracy of the Anthem Company."

"The player obtains the hidden side quest reward: Revenge of the Survivor."

As the hidden side quest is completed, Wu Chang has a necklace in his hand. There is a small town printed on the front of the necklace and Sid is written on the back.

"Item name: Survivor's Revenge."

"Item Level: A"

"Prop Skill: Perfect Actress."

"Skill Description: Equip the Survivor's Revenge. When you play a certain role, others will not suspect you and will subconsciously relax their vigilance and caution towards you. You can store three roles at the same time."

"Item Skill: Hate Mark."

"Skill Description: After obtaining a token from an organization, you can use it to mark the organization. Once a member of the organization enters the 3 km range around you, you will automatically lock the target's position and cause 10% additional damage to the target. Cooldown time: 12 hours."

"Item Skill: Survivor."

"Skill Description: When acting alone, all physical attributes increase by 10%, and the effect of stealth skills increases by 50%.

Cooldown time: two planes."

"Note: Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

The completion of the hidden side quest meant that Wu Chang no longer had to stay in the copy plane.

His real body returned to Anthem Company and instructed the chairman's assistants to work according to the original plan. Unimportant problems could be solved by themselves based on experience, and if there were any questions, they could ask Jeffrey.

The real me drank with Raymond and made him drink so much that he fell asleep on the toilet while vomiting. Then he left a note and left.

Wu Chang chose to leave the dungeon. Following the familiar transition light, he entered the dungeon settlement space. His various performances in the dungeon were played on the TV wall.

"Player number 4444444 has successfully completed the Anthem Company dungeon. Settlement will begin based on the player's performance in the dungeon."

"The player has completed the main mission 1: become an employee of Anthem Company and complete a promotion or three weekly performance reviews."

"Instance completion: 100%!"

"Title Perfectionism activated, copy completion rate +5%."

"Title True Walker activated, copy completion rate +15%."

"Congratulations to the player for getting the first place in the dungeon completion in the side quest competition. You will get an additional 30% dungeon completion. Since the player's dungeon completion exceeds 90%, the excess will be converted into dungeon rewards."

"The total completion rate of the overflow dungeon is 50%, and the basic dungeon rewards have increased by 250%."

"Dungeon rating: perfect!"

"Experience and Corrupted Silver Coins Settlement Correction: 300%!"

"Player experience gained: 52500 (5000×3.5×3)."

"The player obtains 105000 decayed silver coins (10000×3.5×3)."

Wu Chang rubbed his hands. The basic reward settlement was completed. Next, it was his favorite copy reward settlement turn.
