Chapter 523: Chapter 346 Cyber Patina_3

Pan Weining, who was texting someone, said aloud, "It’s okay, pretty much what I expected. A few of my friends are also planning to come over."

Wen Zhiyu asked, "Come over for what? To find the meteorite?"

Pan Weining replied, "Normally they’re not interested in meteorites, but they’re very intrigued by the fireball from yesterday and the footage captured by the surveillance. They want to come and explore."

Wen Zhiyu said, "Explore what? Still studying that blurry footage? Ah, I don’t understand what happened to that camera either. It used to capture meteorites pretty clearly, but last night suddenly everything looked smudged, as if the smart tuning failed."

Pan Weining said seriously, "That’s exactly what I’m talking about! It’s not just your camera, everyone in Tuo Jia Town had the same issue! The footage from all the surveillance cameras was blurry at that time! There must be some unknown factor causing this!"

"Really?!"

Underneath his shock and suspicion, Wen Zhiyu turned on his cell phone and flipped through the social media buzz.

As expected, there was a hot topic related to the fireball at the top of the trending list.

Overnight, many videos and photos had been released online, mostly uploaded by residents and tourists of Tuo Jia Town, or sent to self-media platforms and released by big Vs.

Wen Zhiyu clicked to see the reactions of the netizens.

[I heard that the fireball was hit by something and then exploded [shocked]]

[High speed and high temperature, the disintegration of a fireball in the sky has happened before, it’s normal, don’t read too much into it]

[No! This one is really different from the past ones! Go find a video! See if the ion tail of that fireball has been split, and if something caught up from behind to strike the meteor itself!]

[I’ve said it all along, there are aliens on our planet! It must be an alien spaceship that hit it!]

[The people who posted the videos, many of their IP addresses show Tuo Jia Town, is that a remote place? It looks like a small place in the videos, I want to go see it too, but if it’s too out of the way it’s not convenient.]

[Tuo Jia Town? The famous meteor city from the past! A place many people used to go "star" chasing! It was very famous two or three decades ago, our parents and grandparents should all know about Tuo Jia Town. But that place is really remote, surrounded by vast Gobi deserts]

[Checked on the map, it’s too far, no flights, you have to fly to the nearest big city airport, then drive for six or seven hours to reach Tuo Jia Town]

[Tuo Jia Town has an airport! I joined a chat group, and some tycoon has already chartered a flight there! Said they’re gonna look for aliens [laugh cry]]

Wen Zhiyu thought: No wonder I woke up to see planes, oh, and now I hear them again. The airport’s definitely buzzing today.

He continued to browse through the videos of the fireball.

Indeed, they were all quite blurry.

The surveillance equipment installed here in Tuo Jia Town, many of which are older models, were not even as good as his own gear.

As expected, many netizens were convinced the videos were faked:

[Here we go again, the scam from the outdated town is back!]

[Feels like a large-scale, organized fake this time! Are they trying to lure suckers over to fleece them?]

[The content farms must have been paid off, let’s all make money together!]

[Honestly, it’s indeed difficult to capture this kind of meteor footage, but it’s not like all of them would turn out this blurry]

[Can we get a clear video! The clip that certain big V posted was so blurry it’s like it’s been swiped through cyber patina!]

All the released videos, regardless of the angle, were a blur!

Facing the skepticism online, Wen Zhiyu had something to say:

The camera really wasn’t broken, nor did he intentionally make the footage so blurry!

But that’s how it turned out!

He felt aggrieved himself!

It’s not my fault!

It must be as Pan Weining said, some mysterious force caused the interference!

At this moment, Feng Yi also woke up, scrolling through messages on his phone.

The airport in Tuo Jia Town suddenly became packed.

All sorts of claims, both true and false, were rampant online.

However, under surveillance of public opinion, such misleading statements will soon be controlled.

Opening the door that led to the balcony, a breeze came through, bringing with it scents that didn’t belong to the locale.

The town, which was once in retirement mode, suddenly burst with energy.

The sky.

The sound of a helicopter arose.

Feng Yi looked up at the sky and paused. The foot that he had stretched out to the balcony was pulled back in.

"Feng Yi, what’s up?"

Wen Zhiyu ran to the balcony, gazing at the helicopter in the sky.

"What’s that?"

"It’s from the Union Preservation Bureau’s Special Investigation Group," Feng Yi said.
