Chapter 374 Deep Virtual Reality 202
Beyond the ice wall, there were layers of thorns, but they were not very secure, and many fragments managed to get through the gaps and into the ice wall.
Qi Zhai glanced at Xie Ning in surprise. He hadn't expected Xie Ning to react so quickly. Thinking of the information he had read about Xie Ning, it seemed that Xie Ning's superpowers were even more powerful than he had anticipated.
This elemental ability has great potential. If Xie Ning weren't such a talented researcher, the Shen family would probably have recruited her, just like he did.
A muffled groan came from the side. Qi Zhai turned around abruptly and saw that the young man being held down by the bodyguard had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and his eyes rolled back. He had actually committed suicide.
"Captain..." The bodyguard hesitated, not expecting the guy to commit suicide. He should have dislocated the guy's jaw beforehand; he had been careless.
"fine."
To be honest, Qi Zhai was relieved because this person committed suicide, not a suicide bomber. If it had been a suicide bomber, all of them would have been doomed. However, he should be grateful for Moss's screening and scanning system, as people carrying weapons could not enter this place.
No wonder the people who came were Awakened Ones. But how did they manage to plant the explosives there? "Moss, have they caught the intruders over there?"
"The intruders escaped through the hollow part of the waterfall and are being tracked," Moss said, then began the broadcast.
"The train has stopped at a safe location, the medical team has arrived, and the surrounding area is under Level 1 security..." As Moss's voice rang out, the train doors opened, and the other passengers who had reacted immediately rushed over.
Qi Zhai shouted several times with a dark face, but no one paid any attention to him. Who knew if there were other intruders here? If he accidentally killed them all, who would he ask for compensation?
If it weren't for Xie Ning, they would have been injured, if not killed. Qi Zhai's protection was a responsibility, so they were even more grateful to Xie Ning.
This banquet was truly disastrous. The Shen family's security capabilities were worrisome, which raised doubts about their overall competence. Even if they were tempted by the new products launched by the Shen family, they would have to reassess their situation.
The invited reporters, however, were fearless and even tried to interview Xie Ning, but they were stopped by the private bodyguards who rushed over. They did take quite a few photos, but it's unclear whether they can be published.
This banquet will not be broadcast live. Given the magnitude of the event, the Shen family will likely keep quiet to minimize the impact.
What a pity! Such a sensational topic. I wonder which company that lady was from. It would be great if we could get an exclusive interview with her. The two people next to her look familiar; they seem to be high-ranking executives at Huarui... Oh well, we can't afford to mess with them. Huarui has recently shifted to a semi-military industry, and there has been a significant decrease in media coverage about them.
Only advertisements for high-profit industries, such as prosthetics and specialized medical equipment, remain within normal limits; advertisements for other weapon-related products have been withdrawn by 70%.
There weren't many advertisements for that kind of thing to begin with, and now they've almost disappeared.
Under the protection of his private bodyguards, Cidane walked along, glancing at Xie Ning with shining eyes. "I almost forgot, Xiao Ning is an Awakened One."
Moreover, he was such a powerful Awakened One. He had heard some things about Xie Ning before, but thought he was just an ordinary Awakened One. However, even so, it was worth the company paying a high salary to keep him.
In retrospect, he underestimated this young woman.
Brenda, meanwhile, patted her heaving chest, looking visibly shaken. She still had a lot of assets to spare; she couldn't afford to die so young.
Without thinking about anything else, she immediately contacted a helicopter. There were only three of them, so one helicopter would be enough.
However, after reaching the top floor, they still had to queue. This was the Shen family's property, and their helicopter needed the Shen family's permission to land. Brenda frowned, but before she could speak, some people behind her couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to demand an explanation.
"Bang--"
A bullet landed at the feet of the troublemaker, scaring him so much that his round face turned pale.
"This is Shen family territory. If you cause any more trouble, just throw it down here." Shen Xiuying carried a gun with a pink kitten sticker on it on her shoulder. She was still dressed in a lively and cute outfit, but her expression was very cold.
Although the banquet was mainly to promote new products, the Shen family did not mind offending people because they were wealthy enough. The new products were just icing on the cake, and even if something went wrong, it wouldn't affect the Shen family's lifeline. They could afford to offend anyone.
Shen Xiuying was on the phone with Shen Chen in another helicopter. When she mentioned that the Shen family could offend anyone, Shen Chen smiled and said with a hint of helplessness, "Don't go too far, or you'll make a mess of things."
