Chapter 958: Requesting Double Monthly Tickets on New Year's Day!!!
After saying this, Batman stopped caring about everyone present, and strode to Lawrence's side.
"Wait!" Coren 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 on, it seems that you are afraid that the broken glass will hurt the pedestrians below. When the glass was shattered, it was all broken into pieces!
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 knows exactly 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 head of a fan club.
When he first saw Batman, he was in tears the whole time.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to meet Batman, because Batman will not care about ordinary petty thefts, but when it comes to real big events, Batman will always go where the danger is, so it is still difficult for ordinary people to meet him.
It is definitely the most dreamy thing in life to be lucky enough to be able to get along with Batman at such a close distance without encountering danger.
"That's good." Coren nodded.
Fortunately, no loss!
Bang!
At this time, the door was knocked open, and a group of people in suits and ties rushed in.
That's the network president and other top brass.
They went crazy. In just a few minutes, they were greeted by various big shots on the phone countless times. Everyone is asking what the hell is the TV station doing? Planning to cause social unrest? Many people have even threatened the presidents of TV stations that they will cancel their TV licenses!
Of course this is difficult, but changing a boss can still be done easily.
But Colen's troubles are bigger than his boss. Just now, the 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 this country, there are still some things that everyone must abide by, at least in appearance.
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 industry naturally understand the value of this interview.
"I will contact a lawyer. You just need to tell those who come to you that you were forced." The boss said calmly.
Indeed, this matter is not difficult to solve at all.
"Then...do we need to refute the rumors?"
"Refutation? Why are you refuting the rumor?" 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 are a conscientious TV station that withstands the pressure to warn the public! If it is wrong, it has nothing to do with us, we are forced! Remember Are you staying?”
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, Column's value 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 burst in.
Colen was taken away under the attention of many 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, this matter is highly discussed!
"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 didn'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 is like the people of the ancient Chinese dynasty. They don't care at all what the country far away is like? Because in their eyes, their own country is the Kingdom of Heaven, and 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! The rest are all rural places.
“In Indonesia…”
"Oh, India. I know, Gandhi!"
Barry doesn't want to explain, they are a bunch of illiterate people!
But that’s okay, 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 fell asleep because I was too tired."
Then a group of people talked about what happened at the same time.
"Will the earthquake really come?" This is the most talked about question in Los Angeles today.
Barry said seriously: "It will come!"
"How do you know?"
"Does Batman have to lie to you?"
Barry answered with the most simple truth.
Yes, Batman eats too much, so he will lie to them!
Many conversations basically cannot go on here.
After all, it is really unreliable to say that Batman is lying.
At this time, Joe came out.
"Meeting! The boss wants to give a lecture!"
Seeing Joe's serious face, all the police officers put away their jokes, and a low pressure began to cover the police station.
"Everyone knows what happened last night. I don't care whether it is true or not. We must treat this as true. Now everyone cancels their vacation and enters a 24-hour standby state. Who doesn't know the specific situation? Ask your partner later."
The police looked at each other. They still had a strong sense of unreality.
Is it really necessary?
"Be prepared!" the chief said again.
Everyone nodded silently, which was what they should have meant.
"Weapons, ammunition and bulletproof vests are all equipped." As a senior police officer, although Joe has never been able to enter the upper echelons because of his troublemakers, he has great prestige, so it is not abrupt to speak after the chief. After all, the police are still very senior, and after all, this profession really requires experience. "The biggest test is after the disaster. I don't want you to die because of this ridiculous thing!"
George is black, but to be honest, apart from the skin color, it is really difficult for him to identify with his compatriots. The main reason for the discrimination against blacks is of course due to historical issues, but part of the reason is that many blacks are really not up to the task!
He knows his fellow tribesmen too well. Once an earthquake really occurs, his compatriots will definitely come out to smash, loot and burn everywhere!
There is no need to think too much about this. Of course, there are also many white scumbags.
On the contrary, Asians will be the most honest ones, but the most honest ones are the most easily bullied. Even the police will subconsciously ignore them.
It's ironic.
In short, after a disaster, chaos will definitely follow.
Joe shouted with a heavy face: "The groups of people close to each other on duty should keep in touch and be ready to support each other at any time. Don't be afraid of losing face. This is not the time to talk about face."
Everyone nodded silently again.
Finally, the director ended the meeting with a famous saying.
"May God bless America, may God bless Los Angeles!"
Unlike the reactions of grassroots police and the public, the upper class in Los Angeles has a different attitude towards what Batman has done. They madly attack Lawrence and Batman, portraying them as lunatics and liars!
Of course, these people have already sent their families out of Los Angeles in private.
This is natural.
They resist disaster forecasts because it will harm their interests. As the ruling class, they desire stability, because only with stability can their interests be maximized. But in turn, they also understand the importance of their own lives.
For example, a Los Angeles city council member madly attacked Batman in a remote interview.
But sharp-eyed netizens found that when this guy accepted the remote interview, he was not in Los Angeles, but in the Yosemite Resort hundreds of kilometers away from Los Angeles...
It's magical.
He was obviously scared to death, but he let the people stay in Los Angeles to face the danger... He even lied that he would stand with the people.
This undoubtedly strengthened Batman's credibility to a certain extent.
But this has little to do with the Los Angeles police.
Just when the various police stations privately asked the police to be more vigilant, the traffic situation in Los Angeles was the first to have problems.
Since last night, people have been moving to places without high-rise buildings, and some people have chosen to go to small towns with flatter surrounding areas. This overnight migration has caused huge traffic congestion, especially on the roads out of the city.
Many people think that the United States is very advanced, so they think that everything in the United States is good. That's wrong.
On the contrary, the infrastructure of many cities in the United States is actually quite lame. Including big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
After all, many of the current infrastructure in the United States comes from before and after World War II... Yes, many of the infrastructure built by Roosevelt's New Deal are still in operation.
Don't think that this is how good the quality of American infrastructure is. On the contrary, the quality of American infrastructure is just so-so. The reason for not changing is just because there is no money... Yes, that's the reason.
Since the 1970s, the construction of American infrastructure has almost stagnated.
The reason is simple, because these infrastructures don't make money! Infrastructure construction is difficult to attract private enterprise investment due to the large investment scale and long return cycle. On the other hand, the US government has insufficient investment in infrastructure. As a result, after so many years in Los Angeles, there are still only a few roads out of the city, and the road conditions are not necessarily good.
In normal times, Los Angeles roads are prone to congestion during peak hours every day, let alone this time.
Drivers were anxious and anxious, and minor car accidents and scratches occurred frequently. The already nervous car owners could easily start quarreling or even fighting. On all the main roads out of the city, there were one or two kilometer traffic jams everywhere. There were helicopters from TV stations in the sky, reporting the traffic conditions in real time, but it was useless because all the roads out of the city were congested and it was difficult for people to leave Los Angeles from any road.
There was no way, and the police from each branch could only be sent in large numbers to support the traffic department. (The traffic management department in the United States is also under the jurisdiction of local police, such as the interstate highways under the jurisdiction of the state police)
The consequence of this was that the police force, which was originally not abundant, was further divided.
So, chaos came in advance before the disaster!
Los Angeles is a city with a "glorious tradition". Riots still happened!
A large number... How to describe this group of people?
It's a bit serious to say criminals. Taking advantage of the fire to loot has basically become a custom. Any parade or something like that will eventually develop into looting and burning.
But this time is a little different.
Remember that stupid second-generation ancestor Alex last time?
Didn't he issue a bounty?
One hundred million dollars attracted a large number of gangsters to Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, under Kai's strong intervention, many gangsters were unable to muster up the courage to give Kai experience.
This caused a large number of "unemployed" gangsters to stay in Los Angeles.
If nothing happened, they would naturally disperse.
But they encountered such an opportunity.
It costs money to come to Los Angeles. Let them leave this city full of money and chaos silently?
How is it possible!
In any case, do a job first to get the capital back!
So in broad daylight, three banks in Los Angeles were robbed!
The amount involved was as high as 50 million US dollars!
This undoubtedly made other gangs see a new way to get rich!
Yes, compared with Alex who was tightly guarded by the police, the security of the bank is much worse!
They have technology, equipment, and talents, why don't they rob banks?
This almost drove the Los Angeles police crazy.
After all, as the lackeys of capital, banks are much more important than those people fleeing the city!
Don't argue! This is reality!
So the Los Angeles police turned to Kai for help again.
Vaughn found Kai.
"We need your help!"
He spoke directly. There was no way, he was forced into a corner.
"I know you know Batman, I think you must know what he did!"
It was no secret that Kai knew Batman.
There were even many superhero fans who teased Kai as a socialite among superheroes.
He basically talked to all superheroes.
"I believe in Batman." Vaughn said this directly to get Kai to help. "But if those bastards are not dealt with, the whole city will be dragged down by them."
The more chaotic the city is, the fewer people can evacuate the city.
"I think the current chaos is not Batman's original intention. If these chaos are not curbed, there will be no earthquake, and crime and chaos will destroy the city first!" Vaughn was very keen to notice that Kai had been staying in Los Angeles, there must be a reason. Otherwise, where can't he 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 as attractive as Hawaii or other places.
So he asked Kai for help without any burden.
With such a reason, Kai really couldn't refuse.
