Chapter 44 Performance Accident
A hijacking incident came to an end here.
Although some people on the plane were injured by the impact of the crash, no one died.
Although the reason for the crash was that Homelander accidentally destroyed the control console in the cockpit of the plane.
Fortunately, due to the impact on the sea, most of the plane's control console was destroyed, which just eliminated the "evidence" that Homelander destroyed the cockpit.
Homelander doesn't have to worry about being held accountable by Congress, and the Water Group doesn't have to clean up Homelander's ass.
The most important thing is that Kevin achieved his goal.
This time, saving a plane of people really allowed him to gain a lot of skill points.
Twelve, this is the number of skill points he got this time.
Adding the two skill points left before, Kevin has a full fourteen skill points.
Except for the day of crossing, this is the first time Kevin has so many skill points.
However, fourteen skill points seem to be a lot, but there is no way to upgrade the level of LV4 to LV5.
Whether it is the [Superhuman Physique] that Kevin has always wanted to improve, or the [Water Flow Control] that he is currently using most conveniently, there is no way to improve it immediately.
So now there are two choices for Kevin.
One is to continue to accumulate skill points, and when you have 16 points, upgrade a certain skill to LV5.
The other...
is [Job Change].
"Looking at it this way, although I have obtained a lot of skill points this time, it seems that they are useless. After saving so many people and changing such an important plot, isn't it a bit too little to give me 12 skill points?
"How about... I really kill a plot character and try? "
Seeing that the skill points were still insufficient, Kevin had some perverse thoughts.
Since saving people would give him so few skill points, why not kill some plot characters and see?
Well... let's not do that. I always feel that once I really do this, there will be no turning back.
It's easy to break a person's bottom line.
Once you break through once, there will be a second time, a third time... until countless times.
Kevin is thinking about killing some plot characters at this moment to see if he can get a lot of skill points. If he really does this and really gets a lot of skill points, then Kevin will think about the second time.
After the second time, if he tastes the sweetness again, If Kevin thinks about it again, he will think about it for the third time.
At that time, Kevin will be no different from a real devil.
After thinking it over, Kevin sealed up the dangerous thoughts in his heart, slumped on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling of the lounge. He didn't look like a hero at all.
Because he is "resting" now.
Kevin went to the sea and cooperated with Homelander and Maeve to save a plane of people. This is a good thing for the public and the Vought Group.
Saving people has improved the prestige of the Vought Group. Even if Kevin went there without permission that day, the Vought Group did not intend to make trouble for Kevin.
But not I know why, Kevin was given several days off.
Of course, the original words were not directly "give you a few days off to go out and play".
Madeline's original words were "do whatever you want these days, and you will have important work in a few days".
This always sounds like saying to a serious criminal "eat whatever you should eat, anyway, you are going to die soon".
Kevin always feels something is wrong, but if he thinks about it carefully, the Water Group seems to have no reason to harm him now, so he is very entangled.
Then it's either promotion or wealth?
But if Kevin moves up again, he will be the captain of the seven-man team, right?
It would be strange if Homelander had no objection.
However, speaking of Homelander...
Kevin didn't expect that Homelander was so quiet these two days. It might be because he almost crashed the plane and was lectured by the group's top management. Kevin hasn't seen him much these two days.
But he should be able to see him today.
Because today, there is a thank-you party spontaneously organized by the people who survived the hijacking incident.
The thank-you party is downstairs in Walter. The superheroes who took action that day, Kevin, Maeve and Homelander, must be present.
Even now, these survivors have gathered downstairs.
"Deep Sea, it's time to go out."
Kevin just thought so, Ashley pushed open the door and said to him.
Putting aside the study of skill points for the time being, Kevin stood up from the sofa:
"OK, I'll go over there. "
……
Under the building of the Water Group, for this thank-you party, the Water Group had already cleared the area in front of the building and prepared the corresponding seats and snacks and drinks.
More importantly, the reporters had already pointed their cameras at the people who gathered to thank them, and the flash lights were flashing non-stop.
For the Water Group, this was not only a thank-you party, but also a grand publicity event.
Their seven-man team, the superheroes, eliminated a crisis without a trace, which was enough to prove to Congress that the Water Group's idea was correct.
As long as superheroes enter the Ministry of Defense, similar "rescues" will happen frequently in the future, and superheroes will save families one after another.
Eliminate the tragedy in its infancy.
The Vought Group wants to send such a signal to Congress, as for whether it can succeed... it depends on what the congressmen think.
But this matter has nothing to do with Kevin, at least not for the time being.
Compared with those messy things, what Kevin has to face now is the gratitude from 123 survivors.
"Oh!!! Deep sea!!!"
Kevin was carrying the speech prepared by the Vought Group, but as soon as he arrived at the venue, a crazy shout called him back to reality.
Kevin looked up and saw hundreds of people gathered at the venue prepared by the Vought Group.
They stood there with bouquets and gifts in their hands to express their gratitude, looking at Kevin eagerly.
When the first shout of "deep sea" was heard, it was followed by the second and third shouts, and then it turned into a tsunami-like shout:
"Deep sea! Deep sea! Deep sea!!"
As they shouted, their eyes were full of gratitude and enthusiasm.
When Kevin saved them at sea and snatched their lives back from the hands of death, these people became Kevin's most loyal fans.
However, listening to their cheers like waves, Kevin's smile on his face was a little bit unbearable.
Even if the motherland was not here, even if Kevin did not actually have the ability of super perception, he could still feel that a murderous gaze fell directly on him from the top of the Water Group building.
Without looking back, Kevin knew where the gaze came from.
You are looking at me! Homelander!
He took a deep breath, threw away the opening words of the speech in his mind, and walked onto the stage with the gaze of the motherland.
Standing in front of the stage, Kevin stretched out his hand and pressed it down slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
On the platform, Kevin's movements were obvious. The cheering crowd naturally saw Kevin's movements and stopped cheering after his attempt, gradually becoming quiet.
Only the sound of the reporters' camera shutters and some whispers remained around.
When everyone was quiet and waiting for him to speak, Kevin picked up the microphone and said with a smile:
"Hello, I'm Shenhai."
"Oh!!!!"
Just this one sound, someone cheered wildly again.
Kevin's mouth twitched. This time he didn't need to see to know that this must be a shill hired by the Water Group.
Otherwise, whose survivors had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, and within two days, they would scream like a star-chasing girl when they saw a star.
Raising his hand again, Kevin suppressed his voice:
"Okay, okay, I have received everyone's cheers and likes, but if I remember correctly, today should be a thank-you party, not my personal concert?
"And I was not the only one who saved everyone, right? If there were no Homelander and Queen Maeve, I would be the only one, and there would be no way to save everyone.
"So..."
Kevin gave up the C position, walked aside, and then shouted:
"Let's welcome the heroes who saved the plane that day, Queen Maeve and--
"Homelander!"
As Kevin finished speaking, Queen Maeve, who was ready, slowly walked out from the backstage.
On the top floor of the Vought Group, Homelander soared into the sky and jumped down, landing on the stage with the posture of Superman, and raised his head to show a confident and sunny smile.
That was his signature smile.
"Oh oh!!!"
Cheering sounded again from the audience, but both Kevin and Homelander changed their faces when they heard the cheers.
Because the cheers this time were very small, except for a few Vought Group agents and Homelander's die-hard fans, most of the remaining survivors and their families did not make a sound.
This was in sharp contrast to the previous cheers for Kevin.
When Kevin realized this, his heart skipped a beat.
It's bad.
There was an accident at the performance!
