Chapter 54 Medal Awarded
Zheng Qing was a little blind, the police were a little blind, and everyone at the scene was a little blind.
That mutant seems to have come to catch vampires. And the vampires have been hiding in the crowd all along.
If you hadn't paid attention to that mutant, maybe not so many things would have happened.
However, who would have thought that the truth would be like this?
"Christina." Zheng Qing called Christina again.
"I'm on the phone, boss." Christina didn't wait for Zheng Qing to command, she knew what he wanted to say.
This time, instead of calling Jack, Christina called the rest of the staff, "Rena, where's that mutant?" Is it still with you? β
β¦β¦
"What? Still there? Damn, you'd better go over and check it out right away. Because we just saw that mutant. β
β¦β¦
"Is it true, you ask? Of course it's true, what I saw with my own eyes, can it still be fake? If you continue to delay time, I will definitely complain to you, I swear. β
After a little talk, Christina was also a little hysterical.
So many things happened at once, so many people were injured and even died, and no one was able to keep their composure.
However, soon after, the call came back, and Rena went to see it, and the mutant was still there.
Whether it was Christina or Zheng Qing, they were all stunned.
The mutants are still there, why is there still a mutant here? Could it be that there are two mutants in total? Two identical mutants?
Both of them felt incredible, and couldn't guess what the problem was.
The police were rescuing the wounded, and ambulances came and quickly pulled the injured and dead away.
Jennifer suddenly rushed towards Zheng Qing and shouted loudly: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you can stop that mutant in advance, why haven't you made a move?" β
Mr. Miller was cut in half by a mutant, and such an injury did not need to be treated at all, and he was already dead before the ambulance arrived.
"I'm sorry!" Zheng Qing sincerely apologized.
If he had struck early, Mr. Miller would certainly not have died. However, he also has his own grievances, but there is no need to say them, and Jennifer will not understand them.
Zheng Qing could only apologize.
He is not afraid of taking on anything, and now Jennifer is obviously losing her cool in grief, and arguing with the other party is the most irrational choice.
"Woo!" Jennifer cried in grief.
"Jennifer." Jenny wanted to comfort her, but Jennifer pushed her away, "Go away, don't pay attention to me, go away." β
The little girl cried and went to see her father again, and the body of Mr. Miller, who had been cut in two, was carried into the ambulance.
"Uncle Zheng." Little Ryan took Zheng Qing's hand.
Looking at so many casualties in front of him, Zheng Qing was also very unhappy in his heart. He is not the kind of hard-hearted person, on the contrary, he is quite emotional.
However, even if what happened just now happened again, he would still make the same choice.
As long as he can't help but take the initiative to take action against mutants or vampires, the police and the FBI will definitely take him into account about the protection of the town in the future, which will bring endless trouble.
Zheng Qing definitely didn't want to trouble.
"Alas!" Zheng Qing sighed, "Let's go back." β
When the mutants go after the vampires, there will inevitably be a tragic fight, and there is no need to stay here.
Looking around, Mr. Banks was gone. Zheng Qing guessed that he must have gone after the vampire.
As for whether it will be accidentally injured by mutants in the process of chasing, it is difficult to say.
It's a good holiday, and such a thing happens, and no one can accept it.
The next day, the FBI sent a large number of people to investigate the matter, also to block the news. They searched the Humor Forest again and even investigated the townspeople, but found nothing.
Zheng Qing's house was finally renovated, the formaldehyde smell in the room was released, and the land behind the house was also sorted out.
Moving out of Brown's house and living in her own house, Christina lived in Zheng Qing's house as a matter of course.
Anna sent a message that the mayor of the town would award Zheng Qing the Honorary Townsman Medal, and let Zheng Qing go to the town government by the way.
It just so happened that Zheng Qing also had to do something, so he went over by the way.
He's going to start planting, in his own field. However, before planting, he plans to fence the land with a fence or barbed wire.
In the appropriate area, set up a greenhouse.
The role of the greenhouse, of course, is to keep the temperature constant and better planting. After all, this is the northern part of the United States, bordering the Great Lakes, and the four seasons of the year are quite distinct.
Summer is suitable for planting, and if there is no greenhouse in winter, planting crops will be blind.
However, here in the United States, if you want to build in your own yard, no matter what you build, you must first apply to the local government, and only after you have permission can you build.
In this regard, it is actually the same as in China.
Take Anna's car to the town hall.
The office of the town government is actually very ordinary and ordinary, completely different from what Zheng Qing imagined, not only is it not the most magnificent building in the town, but it is a very ordinary and ordinary house, and the houses around it are better than him.
Once inside, it wasn't big, and six or seven staff members were working in a cramped office environment.
There was only one computer in the mayor's office, an old computer donated by the townspeople that was several generations behind. But it's such an old computer, and all the affairs and materials in the town are in it.
Seeing Zheng Qing, the big fat mayor came over to hug him very hypocritically (Zheng Qing's feelings) and thanked him for everything he had done for the town, especially this selfless donation.
Zheng Qing shamefully said that contributing to the town was his childhood dream, but unfortunately he couldn't realize it one day earlier.
After some introduction, I found out that there was someone else, who was a reporter from a small town newspaper.
This surprised Zheng Qing for a moment, the small town with the size of a projectile was so full of organs, even his own newspaper.
Of course, in the United States, where private ownership is the mainstay, there is no such thing as official media. It was a small, private newspaper that sold mainly to the townspeople of the town.
The content of the report is also based on the town's own affairs, mixed with some influential events from the outside world.
The newspaper did not sell well, and it also received some advertisements.
For example, Zheng Qing's hotel, when it opened, it was supposed to be advertised in this newspaper (this is the rule), but due to the involvement of the FBI, this part of the content was directly omitted.
There are very few staff members in the newspaper, and there are only three people when they are full.
This time, it was the boss, editor-in-chief and printer of the tabloid who appeared in the mayor's office.
This is a young girl, probably twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed very plainly, with a bit of literati arrogance.
The mayor helped introduce the girl's name to Floya.
According to the mayor of the town, the reason why Floya was invited was to publicize Zheng Qing's advanced deeds and encourage more wealthy people to donate to the town.
Zheng Qing definitely didn't believe this nonsense, and Anna even told her afterwards that the mayor's performance today was actually because he didn't stand up when the mutants appeared at the school sports meeting that day, but fled with the townspeople.
Needless to say, such an approach would certainly affect the townspeople's perception of him.
As the mayor of the town, it was a dereliction of duty that he did not stand at the forefront to protect the townspeople when he encountered danger.
Worried about affecting his re-election, the mayor had no choice but to call Zheng Qing over, hoping to award the medal and highlight Zheng Qing's donation of 70,000 US dollars (250,000 minus the cost of the restaurant and house).
Through media publicity, the townspeople are told that they have earned $70,000 in benefits for the town, in order to divert the attention of the townspeople.
Floya asked Zheng Qing a few questions why she donated Yunyun.
Zheng Qing is full of nonsense, and he specializes in good talk.
When I was a child, I had a lot of ideological and political classes, and this kind of metaphysical thing came at my fingertips, and it was only a trivial matter to suppress the Americans, after all, the Americans did not take this kind of class at all.
What to thank the town, thank the president, thank the United States, contribute to the town, contribute to the United States, contribute to the people of the world, and so on, clichΓ©s kept coming out of Zheng Qing's mouth.
The small donation of 70,000 US dollars made Zheng Qing connect with the evolutionary history of all mankind, and he was even more grateful to him.
As a result, not only Floya was dumbfounded, but the mayor was also dumbfounded.
Anna, who was familiar with Zheng Qing, was snickering on the side.
Looking at the two people in a daze, Zheng Qing was secretly refreshed: than to speak official words? Hum! Ten mayors are not as good as themselves, who have been nurtured since childhood.
Mayor Thomas stretched out his hand to wipe her sweat, and Floya came to her senses for a long time.
Again on the issue of donations, this time I interviewed the mayor and asked him what he planned to do after he got the money.
The mayor first mentioned the issue of compensation for the casualties when mutants and vampires appeared, and said that he planned to raise a certain amount of money from Mr. Banks on the basis of 70,000 US dollars, and he must handle the aftermath of the casualties.
Floya then asks about vampires and mutants, and the mayor says that vampires and mutants don't exist, and that there may just be two murderers that appeared that day. Of course, mutants are stronger, and 'vampires' use high technology.
I will send the police to carefully search the town and the humorous forest, and strive to find out these two murderers one day sooner and restore peace to the town.
Floya wrote it down very carefully, and it is difficult to say whether she believes it in her heart or not.
After Floya asked, the next thing was between the mayor and Zheng Qing.
The mayor of the town awarded Zheng Qing the Honorary Townsman Medal. The so-called medal is a bronze plaque, with the names of the honorary townspeople and Zheng Qing on the front, and the corn plant, the symbol of the town, on the back.
The mayor and Zheng Qing shook hands, the two of them held the medal at the same time, and Floya took pictures.
So the interview was completed, Zheng Qing put forward his application, and as an honorary townsman who had just been canonized, the application was immediately approved.
