Chapter 9 Eddie's Lost Contact

“The Life Foundation is more cunning than we think.”

Eddie told Anton the specific situation, and was very helpless: "Whether external or internal, they have taken sufficient protective measures, and we can't find any flaws."

"In more than a month, have you gained nothing?"

Anton was surprised.

When I was watching movies in my previous life, I didn’t think that a life foundation was so difficult to do.

Sure enough, we cannot only look at the real situation today with the plot of the movie.

"Not really."

Eddie said: "We got the exact news from some researchers that recently, the Life Foundation seems to be preparing to conduct some mysterious experiment. There is a huge demand for the human body, and they have plans to increase their investment in experiments. But we cannot enter the homeless house, and we cannot find the exact evidence that the Life Foundation offends human moral bottom line. There is no way to deal with them unless..."

Anton narrowed his eyes and said, "Unless, pretending to be a homeless man, sneak into the homeless man's house and find a breakthrough again."

"Yes."

Eddie, opposite the phone, looked hesitant.

It is very risky to pretend to be a homeless man.

In particular, letting the people under his command take the risk of sneaking in, but he does nothing in New York...

With the status and power of the Life Foundation in San Francisco, once they expose their identity as journalists, it is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the world.

The greatest possibility is to become a human experimental subject of the Life Foundation and die in a life-threatening manner.

Not only does it not help you, it contributes to the enemy.

This made Eddie very anxious and dared not make a decision easily.

Gradually, a thought came out.

...

"Mysterious experiment?"

Anton can conclude that the Life Foundation has begun research on symbiotes.

With Carlton Drake's obsession with symbiosis, as long as he has phased results, he is likely to quickly degenerate into a super villain.

However, this is not that involved Anton.

Drake is in San Francisco, and he is filming movies in Los Angeles at this time, while his life circle is in New York.

In this unique world, the isolation between cities is like the opposition between countries, each with its own gangs and territory.

The Life Foundation wants to hit people across the territory, but it lacks some skills.

Of course, after the two sides completely broke up, there was another situation.

Anton thought for a while and asked, "Isn't the bribery of the Life Foundation's employees working?"

"Employees are all unaware of it. As for senior management, they all have the handle in Drake's hands. The scum even threatened the families of those senior researchers." Eddie told frankly, "We can't move forward."

After a pause, he spoke seriously and said seriously: "Anton, I must go to San Francisco. I am not willing to let Drake, a scumbag, get away with it."

"Since that's the case, I wish you good luck."

Faced with Eddie's request, Anton did not refuse.

The investigation was deadlocked and Eddie was willing to risk returning to San Francisco, and Anton chose to respect his decision.

Eddie's unwillingness was completely within his expectations.

Anton also felt that it was inappropriate to give up.

He had promised Jameson that he would advance the matter and give up if he faced a little difficulty, which not only disappointed Eddie's trust, but also disappointed Jameson's expectations for him.

If you think about it carefully, Eddie is the protagonist of this plot.

In other words, it is the son of luck.

I guess it's not that easy to fail.

Putting this thought behind his mind, Anton couldn't help but give a reminder, saying, "Before going to San Francisco, remember to arrange your work, especially my novel."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Eddie looked grateful and still gave a positive answer.

At the most depraved and helpless time, it was the Horn Daily that gave him a job.

At the same time, facing the "boss" who trusted him so much, Eddie made up his mind to handle this job in the most perfect way.

But Anton didn't think so much.

The filming of the movie consumed a lot of his energy, and he quickly fell asleep after putting down the phone.

In a blink of an eye, another half month.

The filming of the film was unexpectedly rapid, and the post-processing of special effects began to be carried out quickly under the supervision of Anton, and everything was completely on track.

The crew members gradually changed their minds about Andong.

They read about the first half hour of content editing by Anton.

Very amazing.

The story is unexpectedly smooth.

In order to get the movie done as soon as possible, Anton canceled some filming plans and chose to show it in tricks or special effects.

The shooting of the scenes outside was almost all handed over to the assistant director, which once again accelerated the progress.

It took only almost 50 days to complete two-thirds of the shooting plan.

This made Jim, who came to the crew from time to time, even more annoyed, and became more determined that he had accidentally stepped on a big pit.

Anton was still too lazy to pay attention to it.

After the filming that day, he returned to his room and was quite worried.

Eddie is missing!

Eddie arrived in San Francisco more than half a month ago.

Every two days, Eddie would call him, both to report on his safety and to report on the situation.

But a week ago, Eddie had no news again after he got into the House of Wanderers.

Something happened?

Anton was upset.

Although Eddie's life and death seem to have no effect on him, the reason why Eddie returned to San Francisco was closely related to him.

First, he agreed to Eddie's request for adventure.

Secondly, he admired Eddie very much.

It is difficult for a person who can be righteous and stick to the bottom line to avoid being favored by others.

After pondering for a moment, I took out my cell phone and dialed out an unfamiliar number.

Before entering the House of Wanderers, Eddie left him a string of phone numbers for the last time they contacted.

It is said that it belongs to a young reporter who I had sent to San Francisco before.

Phil Yurik.

Similarly, this kid is also an employee of the Horn Daily.

"Hello?"

A young voice came across from the phone.

"Phil Urik?"

Andong: "I am Andong, of the Horn Daily."

"ah."

Phil sounded very nervous, and of course he had heard of Anton.

Although he is only the deputy editor-in-chief, his actual status is approximately the same as that of the newspaper owner, who can fire him in one sentence and make him unable to survive in New York.

Phil repeatedly said: "Hello, boss, this is Phil Yurik."

“How is the situation recently?”

Anton opened the way and said directly: "Eddie hasn't contacted me for a long time. Has something happened to him?"

"No, don't know."

Phil stuttered: "There seems to be an information blocker in the House of Homeless. We have completely lost contact with Editor Eddie. I don't know how he is doing inside. However, we bribed the security guard of the House of Homeless and he told us that no one from the Life Foundation has been to Homeless and... We guess that Editor Eddie should be safe so far."

At the end of the conversation, the voice was lowered and the confidence was insufficient.

"So, when the people from the Life Foundation come to the homeless house, he may not be safe, right?"

Anton's face looked ugly and he questioned word by word.

"Well……"
