Eddie Lost Contact

"The Life Foundation is more cunning than we thought."

  Eddie told Anton the details, feeling helpless: "No matter whether it is external or internal, they have done enough protection measures, and we can't find any loopholes."

  "For more than a month, haven't we gained anything?"

  Anton was surprised.

  When I watched movies in my previous life, I didn't think that a Life Foundation was so difficult to deal with.

  Sure enough, we can't just look at the real situation today with the plot of the movie.

  "Not really."

  Eddie said: "We have received accurate information from some researchers. Recently, the Life Foundation seems to be preparing to conduct some kind of mysterious experiment. There is a huge demand for human bodies in the experiment, and they plan to increase the investment in the experiment. But we can't enter the homeless home, and we can't find any definite evidence that the Life Foundation has violated the bottom line of human morality. There is nothing we can do about them, unless..."

  Anton narrowed his eyes and said: "Unless, pretend to be a homeless person and sneak into the homeless home to find a breakthrough again."

  "Yes."

  Eddie on the other side of the phone hesitated.

  Pretending to be a homeless person is very risky.

  Especially, he let his men take risks to sneak in, but he did nothing in New York...

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

  The biggest possibility is that he will become a human experiment subject of the Life Foundation and die.

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

  This makes Eddie extremely anxious and dare not make a decision easily.

  Gradually, an idea came to his mind.

  ...

  "Mysterious experiment?"

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

  With Carlton Drake's obsession with symbiotes, as long as there are phased results, he will most likely quickly degenerate into a super villain.

  However, this is not so deeply involved with Anton.

  Drake is in San Francisco. He is currently filming a movie in Los Angeles, and his living circle is in New York.

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

  The Life Foundation wants to cross the territory to fight people, but it still lacks a little ability.

  Of course, after the two sides completely tear each other apart, it will be another situation.

  Anton thought for a moment and asked, "Will bribing the Life Foundation employees not work?"

  "The employees are clueless. As for the top management, Drake has the upper hand. That scumbag even threatens the families of those senior researchers." Eddie told him frankly, "We can't move forward."

  After a pause, he spoke seriously and said, "Anton, I have to go to San Francisco. I am unwilling to let Drake, a scumbag, go unpunished."

  "In that case, I wish you good luck."

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

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

  Eddie's unwillingness was completely within his expectations.

  As for giving up, Anton also felt it was inappropriate.

  He had promised Jameson that he would push forward the matter. If he gave up in the face of a little difficulty, he would not only fail Eddie's trust, but also Jameson's expectations of him.

  Think about it carefully, Eddie is the protagonist of this plot.

  In other words, he is the son of luck.

  It must not be so easy to fail.

  Putting this thought aside, Anton could not help but remind him, "Before going to San Francisco, remember to arrange your work, especially my novel."

  "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

  Eddie looked grateful and still gave a positive answer.

  At the most depraved and helpless time, it was the Daily Bugle 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 continuous filming of the movie consumed a lot of his energy, and he fell asleep soon after hanging up the phone.

  In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed. The

  filming of the movie was unexpectedly fast, and the post-processing of special effects also began to advance rapidly under Anton's supervision, and everything was completely on track.

  The crew gradually changed their views on Anton.

  They watched the first half hour of the content edited by Anton.

  It was amazing.

  The story was unexpectedly smooth.

  In order to get the movie done as soon as possible, Anton canceled some plans for filming locations and chose to show it in a tricky or special effect way.

  The filming at outdoor locations was almost entirely handed over to the assistant director, which once again sped up the progress.

  It took only about 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 he became more and more convinced that he had made a mistake.

  Anton still didn't bother to pay attention.

  After the shooting ended that day, he returned to his room, feeling quite worried.

  Eddie has lost contact!

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

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

  But a week ago, after Eddie sneaked into the homeless home, there was no news.

  Something happened?

  Anton was upset.

  Although Eddie's life or death did not seem to affect him, Eddie's return to San Francisco was inseparable from him after all.

  First, he agreed to Eddie's risky request.

  Secondly, he admired Eddie very much.

  A person who can be righteous and stick to the bottom line is hard not to be favored by others.

  After a moment of hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and dialed an unfamiliar number.

  Before Eddie entered the homeless home, when they last contacted, Eddie left him a string of phone numbers.

  He said that it was a young reporter that he had sent to San Francisco before.

  Phil Yurick.

  This guy was also an employee of the Daily Bugle.

  "Hello?"

  A young voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Phil Yurick?"

  Anton said, "I'm Anton, Anton from the Daily Bugle."

  "Ah."

  Phil sounded very nervous. Of course he had heard of Anton.

  Although he was only a deputy editor-in-chief, his actual status was almost equal to that of the boss of the newspaper. He was a "big shot" who could fire him with just one sentence and make him unable to survive in New York.

  Phil kept saying, "Boss, boss, hello, this is Phil Yurick."

  "How is he doing recently?"

  Anton got straight to the point and said directly, "Eddie hasn't contacted me for a long time. Did something happen to him?"

  "No, I don't know."

  Phil stammered, "There seems to be an information blocker in the homeless shelter. We have completely lost contact with Editor-in-Chief Eddie and don't know how he is doing in there. However, we bribed the security guard of the Homeless Association, and he told us that no one from the Life Foundation has come to the homeless shelter recently... We guess that Editor-in-Chief Eddie should be safe so far."

  At the end of the words, his voice lowered and he lacked confidence.

  "So, when the Life Foundation arrives at the homeless shelter, he may not be safe, right?"

  Anton asked word by word with a grim expression.

  "Uh..."

  Phil hesitated and didn't dare to agree.
