Chapter 1253 Prelude to Chaos
Regardless of whether Li Jie's gorilla-style courtship was successful or not, Strange did not tell Li Jie immediately what he wanted to tell him. In fact, Strange brought a very good news, that is, the current layout of Green Lantern Energy has been very, very successful.
Although Norman dispatched almost all his forces to find out where the green light ring came from, but so far he has not found the correct source of the green light ring. All of America, no! It should mean that the whole world is talking about one thing, that is, where is the source of green light energy? Is this the new energy that people dream of? !
The current world is full of holes, and the oil and gas resources of the entire earth are on the verge of exhaustion. The world is already on the verge of the end of the world, and anyone with a little foresight understands how terrible the current plight of the earth is. So countless people hope that new energy will emerge. Even for many people, it doesn't matter where the new energy comes from. The important thing is to have new energy sources.
Because it is a very simple point of view, that is, no one wants to face the famine and riots caused by the exhaustion of energy, which means that countless people will die. And these dead people are likely to contain a large number of ordinary people.
So when the green light ring appeared, although everyone was curious about where it came from. But for ordinary people, this is not important anymore. The important thing is that they get a new energy source, one that doesn't need to be exploited by Norman Osborn!
This is the most important thing. In this era, the demand for energy is a rigid need for everyone. Nobody has easy access to energy anymore.
And Norman even had to start collecting green light rings on a large scale across the United States, because he deeply felt the threat this green light ring posed to his rule. It doesn't matter if the ring was made by anti-Norman Osborn or by some other national organization. In short, most of the people who created this energy may not be able to deal with themselves.
But then again, how many people in this world can deal with Norman Osborn? Maybe it was because of his lust.
The public eye began to confiscate the green light ring on a large scale across the United States. This ring greatly affected Norman's rule of the world. Especially when it appeared in the United States, Norman's stronghold, which he regarded as his back garden! In order to find out who was behind this incident, a green light ring seizure operation that swept across the United States began.
Public Eye security guards knocked on the door of house after house and searched them, and anyone who kept the green light ring and didn't hand it over was convicted of a felony and thrown in jail. But even so, there are still many families who keep green light rings privately.
Because no one is stupid, energy expenditures now account for almost half of the household expenditures of American households. Who can live without energy in modern society? Can you keep the lights off at night? Cooking without convenient energy sources (gas, natural gas, electricity, etc.)? Or is it no Internet, no TV, no entertainment at all?
If you want to enjoy all modern life, you cannot do without energy supply. So some people refused to hand over the green light rings they received, and this also caused a lot of conflicts. You must know that the United States is a country where guns are legal. When the public eye forcibly took away the green light ring, some Americans directly pulled out shotguns from the closet at home to fight against the public eye.
After all, the public eye has been able to supplant the police over the years and become a law enforcement force completely under private control. Except for the constant operation with Norman Osborn behind. There is also a law enforcement method like boiling a frog in warm water. The formulation of many law enforcement and laws and regulations is done slowly and step by step. It doesn't happen overnight.
In many cases, after the public reacts, some laws have been implemented, and it has reached a point where it is hard to return. But this time is different, this time the sudden forcible removal of the green light ring was too impatient, and it can be said that it directly touched the core interests of many people.
Although Norman Osborn has controlled the United States for many years, he has revised many American laws. But there is one law that he has never amended, and he dare not amend. That is [private property is sacred and inviolable]. Because Norman himself is the beneficiary of this law, how could he possibly amend this law?
And directly entering the door to snatch the green light ring that already belongs to the private property of citizens, this incident obviously violates the core interests of many people. The world hasn't collapsed yet, that's because the most basic order is still maintained. Norman is also very clear that order is the foundation of his rule. Who can he manage in a world without order?
And directly snatching the green light ring is obviously destroying the order of this world. But Norman can't control so much anymore, because the existence of the green light ring has threatened the foundation of his rule.
And the snatching of the green light ring this time also caused many riots across the United States, which was a real violent confrontation.
In the public eye, there are actually some people who are a little dissatisfied with what they and others are doing now. After all, although the public eye is Norman's minion, it does not mean that they have no thoughts. They are not the kind of NPCs in movies, TV or game anime who are loyal to the final boss until death, and can go on and on to launch a suicidal charge against the protagonist team.
After all, they are still living people, as long as they are people, they will have their own ideas. Unless Norman can brainwash all members of the tens of millions of Public Eye. But this is impossible, he is not Professor X, and he does not have a brain wave enhancer.
When carrying out the task of collecting the green light ring, many members of the public eye team were also very dissatisfied, because they also received the green light ring on Christmas day. You know, even if they join the public eye, they still have to pay for energy purchases.
Ultimately, joining the public eye as a member of the security team is a job in itself. It's just that the risk factor of this job is very high, and the corresponding salary is also a little higher. But don't think that the salary of joining the public eye is particularly high, it is impossible. Their income is only 19 percent higher than the income of the average New York City citizen.
But things are compared, as long as you can be a little better than others, even just a little bit better, then you will have a sense of superiority. I can devote myself to work better and feel that the work is meaningful and rewarding.
However, this does not mean that the members of the public eye do not need the energy of the green light ring. But the action to seize the Green Lantern Ring started from the members of the Public Eye, and a riot from among the members of the Public Eye has already begun its prelude!
