Chapter nine hundred and fiftieth eight: New Year's Day seeking double month
After saying this, Batman stopped caring about everyone present, and strode to Lawrence's side.
"Wait!" Colum wanted to ask again, but Batman didn't intend to give him any chance. He grabbed Lawrence and went to the window. Batman raised his hand and pushed, and the glass outside the building exploded.
Come, it seems that they are afraid that the broken glass will hurt the pedestrians below. When the glass was shattered, it was all broken into slag!
Then Batman grabbed Lawrence and jumped out of the window!
Colen and the others hurried to the window, but no one could be seen. Except for the howling night wind, there was nothing in the night sky. No one knew how Batman disappeared.
"Has it been filmed?" Colen quickly reacted. This is also news! Who has ever seen Batman disappear from such a close distance?
"Yeah! Very clear!" The photographer was also very excited!
This eldest brother is different from Colum, who is dedicated to his career. He is a true Batman fan, a die-hard fan who will argue with other superhero fans on the forum every day. He is also the leader of a fan club.
When he first saw Batman, he was in tears the whole time.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to encounter Batman, because Batman will not care about ordinary petty thefts, but when it comes to real big events, Batman will always be in danger, so it is still difficult for ordinary people to encounter him.
To be lucky enough to be able to interact with Batman at such a close distance without encountering any danger in life is definitely the most dreamy thing.
"That's good." Coren nodded.
Fortunately, no loss!
Bang!
At this moment, the door was knocked open, and a group of people in suits and leather shoes rushed in.
That's the TV station president and other senior executives.
They have gone crazy. In just a few minutes, they have been greeted by various big shots on the phone countless times. Everyone is asking what the TV station is doing? Is it planning to cause social unrest? Many people have even threatened the president of the TV station. They
Will cancel their TV license!
Of course this is difficult, but changing your boss can still be done easily.
But Colen's troubles are bigger than his boss. Just now, CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security have all sent people to the TV station. They have two purposes, to capture Batman and his accomplices, and to arrest Colen!
At this point, the boss has no choice. After all, no matter how capital controls the country, there are still some things that everyone must abide by, at least in terms of face.
Colen had expected this. Faced with the angry accusations from his boss, he calmly pulled up the Batman interview video and showed it to his boss.
After the boss read it, everyone fell silent.
Those who work in this field naturally understand the value of this interview.
"I will contact a lawyer. You just need to tell those who are looking for you that you were forced to do so." The boss said calmly.
Indeed, this matter is not difficult to solve at all.
"Then...do we need to refute the rumors?"
"Refusing rumors? Why refuting rumors?" The boss looked at his top host in surprise. "Is that what we have to do? Let it go! If Batman is right, then we will withstand the pressure and warn the public.
It’s a conscience TV station! If it’s wrong, it has nothing to do with us, we were forced! Remember?!”
Coren gave a thumbs up!
"There is a high probability that I will be arrested. I hope you, boss, can report to me and control the public opinion!" Colen demanded immediately.
"No problem! You don't even need to spend the night in those terrible places, you can go home and continue working tomorrow!" the boss said decisively.
After this interview is published, the value of Column will skyrocket, and only a fool would put out such a sign!
While Colen was discussing the details with his boss, a group of uniformed police and federal agents rushed in.
Colen was taken away under the attention of numerous cameras!
When he left, he looked like a triumphant hero!
…
That night countless people saw Lawrence and Batman appear on TV channels!
An earthquake is coming?
Exactly how many people believe it, no one knows. But one thing is certain, that is, the discussion on this matter is extremely high!
"Barry! Where have you been these days?"
Nancheng Police Station, Barry finally returned to the police station he was familiar with.
"On vacation, I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, so I went to Bali."
"Bali? Where is that? Hawaii?" This guy obviously doesn't have good geography.
In fact, most Americans are very poor at geography. They only know the specific locations of three countries, Canada, the United States and Mexico. Other countries... To be honest, the United States at this time was like the people of the ancient Chinese dynasty.
They don't care at all what the distant countries are like? Because in their eyes, their own country is the Kingdom of Heaven. Other places are either smog-ridden or full of savages. Why should they pay attention to them?
Americans almost have this mentality: America is the best and America is the strongest! Others are in the countryside.
“In Indonesia…”
"Oh, India. I know, Gandhi!"
Barry doesn't want to explain, they are a bunch of illiterate people!
But that's good, at least you don't have to worry about revealing your secrets.
"What are you talking about?"
"Earthquake!"
"Earthquake?" Barry pretended not to know.
"you do not know?"
"I came back last night and was too tired, so I went to bed."
Then a group of people all talking at the same time finished telling what happened.
"Will an earthquake really come?" This is the most talked about question in Los Angeles today.
Barry said seriously: "It will come!"
"how do you know?"
"Did Batman need to lie to you?"
Barry answered with the simplest truth.
Yes, Batman would lie to people like them if he ate too much!
Many conversations basically can’t go on at this point.
After all, it's a bit unreliable to say that Batman is a liar.
At this moment, Joe came out.
"It's a meeting! The boss wants to be lectured!"
Seeing how solemn Qiao's face was, all the police officers stopped joking, and a low pressure began to envelope the police station.
"Everyone knows what happened last night. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must treat this as true. Now everyone has canceled their vacation and entered a 24-hour standby state. Who doesn't know the specific situation? I'll ask later.
My own partner."
The policemen all looked at each other. They still had a strong sense of unreality.
Is it really necessary?
"Be prepared for any trouble!" the director said again.
Everyone nodded silently, which is what it should be.
"Weapons, ammunition, and body armor are all equipped." As a veteran police officer, Qiao, although he has never been able to enter the senior management due to stabbings in his head, is full of prestige, so it is not at all awkward to speak after the director. After all, the police are still ranked according to seniority.
It's quite serious. After all, this industry really requires experience. "The biggest test is after the disaster. I don't want you to die because of such a ridiculous thing!"
George is a black man, but to be honest, except for his skin color, it is really difficult for him to identify with his compatriots. The main reason why black people are discriminated against is certainly due to historical issues, but part of the reason is because many black people are really
Disappointing!
He knows his compatriots too well. Once an earthquake really occurs, his compatriots will definitely come out to smash, smash, loot and burn!
This is a no-brainer. Of course, there are many white scumbags out there.
On the contrary, Asians are the most honest group, but the most honest ones are the most easily bullied. Even the police will subconsciously ignore them.
That's very ironic.
In short, after a catastrophe, chaos will definitely follow.
Qiao looked grave and shouted loudly: "Stay in contact with the groups of people who are close to each other in the duty area and be ready to support each other at any time. Don't be afraid of losing face. This is not the time to save face."
Everyone nodded silently again.
Finally, the director ended the meeting with a famous saying.
"May God bless America, may God bless Los Angeles!"
Different from the reaction of the grassroots police and people, the upper class society in Los Angeles had a different attitude towards what Batman did. They frantically attacked Lawrence and Batman, portraying them as madmen and liars!
Of course, privately these people have already sent their families out of Los Angeles.
Of course.
They resist disaster forecasts because it will harm their interests. As the ruling class, they long for stability, because only with stability can their interests be best protected. But in turn, they also understand the importance of their own lives.
.
For example, a Los Angeles city councilman wildly attacked Batman during a remote interview.
But sharp-eyed netizens discovered that when this guy was interviewed remotely, he was not in Los Angeles, but in the Yosemite Resort hundreds of kilometers away from Los Angeles...
It's just magical.
Even though he was scared to death, he allowed the people to stay in Los Angeles and face danger... He even lied and said that he would stand with the people.
This undoubtedly strengthens Batman's credibility to some extent.
But this has nothing to do with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Just when various police stations were privately telling police officers to be more vigilant, the traffic situation in Los Angeles was the first to cause problems.
Since last night, people have been moving to places without high-rise buildings, and some people have even chosen to go to the surrounding flatter towns. This overnight migration has caused huge traffic jams, especially in the
It's more obvious on the roads out of the city.
Many people think that the United States is very advanced and that everything in the United States is good. That is wrong.
On the contrary, the infrastructure of many cities in the United States is actually quite poor, including big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
After all, much of the current infrastructure in the United States dates from before and after World War II... Yes, many of the infrastructure built by Roosevelt's New Deal are still in operation today.
Don't think that this is how good the quality of Americans' infrastructure is. On the contrary, the quality of Americans' infrastructure is just like that. The reason why they didn't replace it is just because they don't have money... Yes, that's the reason.
Since about the 1970s, infrastructure construction in the United States has almost come to a standstill.
The reason is simple, because these infrastructures do not make money! Due to the large scale of investment and long return period, infrastructure construction is difficult to attract investment from private enterprises. On the other hand, the U.S. government has insufficient investment in infrastructure. As a result, after so many years, Los Angeles has
There are still only a few roads out of the city, and the road conditions are not necessarily good.
Normally, Los Angeles roads are prone to congestion during daily rush hours, let alone this time.
Drivers are impatient, and minor car accidents and scratches occur frequently. Already nervous car owners can easily start quarrels or even fights. Traffic jams of one or two kilometers are common on all the main roads out of the city. There are TV helicopters in the sky,
Live broadcasts of traffic conditions were of little use as all roads out of the city were congested, making it difficult for people to leave Los Angeles on any road.
There is no way, police from each branch can only be dispatched in large numbers to support the traffic department. (Traffic management departments in the United States are also under the control of local police, for example, interstate highways are under the control of state police)
The result of this is that the police force, which was not rich in the first place, has been thinned out again.
As a result, chaos comes early before disaster strikes!
Los Angeles is a city with a "glorious tradition". Riots still happened!
A large number of...how to describe this group of people?
Let's talk about criminals, it's a bit serious. Taking advantage of the situation and looting has basically become a custom. Anything like a parade will definitely develop into smashing, looting and burning in the end.
But this time it's a little different.
Do you still remember that stupid second-generation ancestor Alex last time?
Didn't he post a reward?
One hundred million dollars attracted a large number of gangsters to Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, due to Kai's strong intervention, many gangsters were unable to muster the courage to gain experience for Kai.
This resulted in a large number of "jobless" gangsters stranded in Los Angeles.
If everything was fine, they would naturally disperse.
But luckily, I encountered such an opportunity.
There is a cost for them to come to Los Angeles, so let them leave this city that is full of money and chaos like this silently?
How can it be!
No matter what, let’s do it first to get our capital back!
So in broad daylight, three banks in Los Angeles were robbed!
The amount involved is as high as 50 million US dollars!
This undoubtedly allowed other gangs to suddenly see a new way to make a fortune!
That's right, compared to Alex, who is tightly guarded by the police, the bank's security is much worse!
They have technology, equipment, and talent, so why not rob banks?
This drove the Los Angeles police nearly crazy.
After all, as the lackeys of capital, banks are much more important than the people outside who are fleeing the city!
Stop it! This is reality!
So the Los Angeles police once again turned to Kay for help.
Vaughn finds Kay.
"We need your help!"
He spoke very directly. He had no choice but to be forced into a hurry.
"I know you know Batman, and I think you must know what he does!"
It's no secret that Kai and Batman know each other.
There are even many superhero fans who joke that Kai is a social butterfly among superheroes.
He can basically talk to all superheroes.
"I believe in Batman." Vaughn said this directly in order to get Kai to help. "But if we don't deal with those bastards, the whole city will be dragged down by them."
The more chaotic the city is, the fewer people will be able to evacuate the city.
"I think the current chaos is not Batman's original intention. If these chaos are not contained, it won't take earthquakes, crime and chaos to destroy the city first!" Vaughn keenly noticed that Kai has always stayed in Los Angeles.
, there must be a reason. Otherwise, where can I go on vacation? Los Angeles is indeed a good place for vacation. But for someone who has worked and lived in Los Angeles, Los Angeles is obviously not more attractive than Hawaii or other places.
