Chapter 108 Who Is in Favor and Who Is Against?

The aftermath of the Battle of New York is far from over.

To be precise, everything has just begun.

Unexpectedly, after the "mechanical canopy" covering the sky was damaged and fell,

In the closed area of ​​​​New York, "natural phenomena" of "meteors falling from the sky" will occur from time to time, causing many casualties and short-term chaos.

Most of the survivors of the Battle of New York also suffered from various "sequelae" effects.

Broken limbs and arms, damaged internal organs, paralysis, and a series of semi-permanent traumas have made them miserable.

Even with the "Stark Industries Charitable Foundation" established by Tony Stark, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for nearly one million disaster survivors.

What's more, there are still many moths greedily eyeing this huge compensation fund.

Gradually, some disaster survivors who were deeply affected by it,

They spontaneously held together to keep warm, formed a parade team, and began to carry out a mighty parade on the ruined streets that were still under repair.

"I bled in the Battle of New York!"

"I contributed to the fight against the Chitauri!"

"You can't just treat us like this!"

"Old soldiers never die!"

"This is our city!"

"Get out of our city! You robbers who get something for nothing!"

But their voices are destined to be ignored, or many people have not thought about what changes will happen when these people gather together.

You know, after the New York War, there were many companies, large and small, or people with the idea of ​​​​the "New American Gold Rush".

They came to New York one after another, trying to find their own glimmer of opportunity.

Some relatively advanced technological products were quickly overthrown and reverse engineered, as if there was a strong force behind them pushing mankind forward.

But there is no doubt that even if such sweet and delicious honey may contain a trace of heart-wrenching poison, it cannot stop greedy people from pursuing endless progress.

Human beings have not expected at all what kind of drastic changes the current explosive advancement of science and technology will bring to this unprepared world.

In the mayor’s office on the second floor of the recently rebuilt city hall,

The mayor of the city council, Robert Williams, stood respectfully in his office with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at the man sitting in the mayor's office chair.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone ringing that I remembered broke the silent and strange atmosphere.

After seeing the man who nodded slightly, he got permission,

Robert Williams wiped the sweat from his forehead and then picked up the phone in his pocket.

Looking at the displayed name, he coughed twice, adjusted himself, and answered the communication.

And the moment he spoke, Robert Williams seemed to have regained his condescending tone and meaning in front of others,

After a conversation, he hung up the phone, then raised his head and looked at the man with feverish eyes, sitting on the office chair with his legs crossed and extending his hand to support his chin.

His tone was full of piety and excitement, and deep purple light flashed in his pupils.

"Dear Mr. Carl Yuan, as you expected, the municipal voting is about to begin."

"Do you need me to do something?"

Link smiled slightly and shook his head,

"I prefer to get what is rightfully mine."

"I believe the people will make the right choice,"

"We will create a better world."

“Hail to the brave new world!”

"Say, hi! new world (new world)!"

"Hi! new world (new world)!"

Time passes, and the day of municipal voting will soon come.

During this window period, many members of Congress from various factions of the federal government,

Or the "agents" who were pushed out, all showed various methods and tricks,

Whether it's using the absolute skills of journalism to "overwhelm another hot topic with one hot topic", or blasting the opponent's dirt and revealing the dirty things hidden behind it.

And just when these clowns are fighting to the death, it is paradoxical,

Superman Kal-El, who has not been seen for a long time and seems to have been forgotten by the public, appears on the voting list.

And at an extremely rapid speed, the number of votes increased rapidly, and it was vaguely related to the previous mayoral candidates.

What was even more shocking was that at the voting venue, everyone only saw a burst of air blasting in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a figure wearing a battle robe suddenly fell,

But it didn't cause any harm to the ground. It fell gently, tiptoeing to the ground.

The bright red cloak behind me rustled, automatically in the absence of wind,

"...Superman?"

"Am I right? It's Superman!?"

"Oh my god!"

The surrounding crowd quickly burst into cheers and exclamations after a brief silence.

Regarding Link's appearance, some of them expressed surprise, while others expressed doubts. Of course, there were also many strange looks.

But Link put on an affable look, waving to everyone with a smile,

"I know a lot of people are confused about my disappearance during this period,"

"Of course, I regret that I was unable to participate in this New York battle,"

"Because I have a more important mission to complete, I believe everyone will understand me, right?"

Link glanced around with a smile on his face. Everyone he glanced at had different expressions. They lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at them.

Among the whispers, some voices gradually began to get louder,

"That's right! Superman, we will always support you!"

"You're the best! We believe in you!"

…

The smile on Link's face became even brighter, and it was even said that a few excited fans broke through the obstruction of the surrounding security,

When he came to Link's side, he couldn't wait to take a photo with him. Link didn't reject the enthusiasm of his loyal fans and smiled in response.

After spending some time, Link straightened out his slightly wrinkled shirt, and then walked up the steps to the podium.

Ignoring the agents and congressmen who had forced smiles on their faces, but who were actually gritting their teeth and clenching their fists,

Link opened his arms, and his confident and high-spirited voice, coupled with his strong lung capacity, was like a 360-degree surround sound system that echoed throughout the voting venue.

"I am well aware of the trauma that the Battle of New York has brought to this city, but I believe that the night will eventually pass and the dawn has arrived!"

"There will be bread, and there will be milk."

"Here I am announcing my candidacy for mayor of New York City in my personal capacity."

"Who is in favor? Who is against?"

Not only did he scan the surroundings, even though some people's faces had turned livid, they did not dare to show any obvious abnormalities.

In the end, after Link won the vote with an overwhelming advantage, he got a new title that no one could find fault with - Mayor of New York City.

"For a better tomorrow!"

"For a brave new world!"

"Hurrah!"
