Chapter 180 Ocean Public Opinion, the Deep Sea in the Spotlight

"Tell me slowly." Xia Shang reached out and pressed the power button on his computer, ready to see what happened during the few days he was away.

"Okay, Mr. Gervis." The Twin Man calmed down a little, "First, the superhero Storm was attacked. This incident has been strictly blocked by the Vought Group. The specific details are in your mailbox.

Second, the superhero movie that the Vought Group recently planned to shoot was originally intended to promote the new hero Storm.

But due to Storm's sudden accident, the filming of the movie was urgently stopped."

"Isn't this normal? What's the problem?"

Xia Shang opened his mailbox and saw the email sent to him by Edgar.

The content of the email was a bit long. Its general meaning was that the criminal terrorist organization headed by Billy planned this brutal terrorist operation and caused extremely serious damage to Storm in this operation.

At present, Storm is still being rescued, but this incident must be kept strictly confidential. If ordinary people know that Storm, who has just become the nemesis of criminals, has been attacked by terrorists and is on the verge of death, it will be a very serious blow to Storm herself, the reputation of superheroes and even the entire Vought Group.

This will make ordinary people feel that superheroes can't even protect themselves, let alone protect them.

Once public opinion ferments.

The credibility of the Vought Group may be completely destroyed.

You know, the reason why the superhero industry under the Vought Group is so prosperous now is largely due to people's fanatical worship of superheroes and their belief that superheroes have enough strength to protect their personal safety.

If one day they suddenly find that superheroes are not as powerful as they imagined.

It is conceivable that this will be a disaster for Vought. Once the credibility is gone, it is almost impossible to build it up again, so Edgar's wording is quite urgent, after all, this also affects the sales of Compound No. 5.

"It's no problem that the superhero movie can't continue to be filmed, but the serious thing is that someone is now maliciously spreading online that Storm is not only an extreme racist who believes in white supremacy, but also the real culprit behind the train explosion.

But these are nothing, after all, they didn't produce the corresponding evidence.

What's more fatal is that they clearly pointed out that Storm is dead and superheroes are not invincible. They also said that if Storm is not dead, she will stand in front of everyone and show her superpowers.

Mr. Xia Shang, you also know that even if I can imitate her appearance, I can't imitate superpowers."

"What is the current public opinion situation?" Xia Shang said calmly.

There is no need to guess. The guys who spread public opinion must be Billy and his team. It's just that they learned to be smart this time. Perhaps they saw a clue from the invisible man incident and guessed that there might be superhumans who can imitate the appearance of others under the Water Group, so they are sure that even if superhumans can imitate Storm's appearance.

It is impossible to display the same superpowers.

The twin on the other end of the phone had his eyebrows knitted together: "Very pessimistic. Someone has questioned Walter why the fan meeting was urgently stopped after only one event. If Storm Girl was fine, why did Walter Company do such a deceiving move?"

"I see. Is there anything else going on recently?" Xia Shang stood up and walked to the window. He looked down at the watch he had just put on his wrist. It was 10:01, exactly half an hour after his working hours.

"There is another thing about the Deep Sea. Recently, Neon Country announced that it would dump nuclear wastewater into the sea, which caused a lot of public opinion. The world is paying attention to this matter, but Congress has not made any statement. The attitude of the US government has caused dissatisfaction among non-governmental environmental protection organizations. Currently, two demonstrations with more than 3,000 people have been held.

And the Deep Sea took the initiative to participate in it without Walter's permission. President Edgar was very dissatisfied with this and asked the Deep Sea to stop all activities immediately."

"This seems like something he can do."

Xia Shang smiled, came to the closet, and chose a beige suit.

"If I'm not mistaken, he must be very popular now."

"Not only very popular, but extremely popular. His name and pictures have been all over social media, and his influence has even spread abroad. According to the investigation of the relevant departments of Water, his support rate in various states has soared by 70%. His popularity is currently ranked second among the seven, second only to Homelander.

And the gap between him and Homelander is getting smaller and smaller."

"It seems that someone is going to be unable to sleep."

Xia Shang was referring not only to Homelander, but also to Deep Sea, but the simple-minded Deep Sea did not think too much, so only Homelander was unable to sleep at present.

…………

In a secret base in New York State, Dr. Vogelbaum, who had retired for many years, frowned and walked out of the medical room.

"What's the situation?" Homelander, who was waiting at the door, asked expressionlessly.

It can be seen that he was in a very bad mood.

Although the guy was pierced through the chest by his laser eyes at that time, he could not find his body. There are only two possibilities in this situation.

Either someone got there first and moved the body before him, or the guy wasn't dead at all. Of the two possibilities, Homelander was more inclined to the latter. He would rather believe that the guy had escaped than admit that someone could move a body right under his nose.

The gray-haired Dr. Vogelbaum shook his head, "The situation is not optimistic. Although she has regained consciousness and her epidermis has recovered 70%, there is no sign of regeneration of the broken arm.

Even if a large amount of compound No. 5 is injected, her broken arm cannot be regenerated. Her self-healing ability has been stimulated to the limit."

Homelander did not speak, but pushed open the door of the medical room and walked in.

He came to the bedside, looked at the unrecognizable Storm Girl affectionately, held her hand, and whispered: "Why didn't you give me those photos earlier? I'm happy to help you."

Storm Girl slowly opened her eyes and slightly opened her lips, but because of her damaged vocal cords, she could not make any sound.

"I have mobilized all the departments of Water. I believe we will soon find out who that guy is. Don't worry, if he is lucky enough to survive, I will kill him again to avenge you."

Homelander said with a happy expression.

"Hiss...Oh!"
