Chapter 228: Johnson's Nightmare [1/5]
A secret hideout.
The anti-registration faction, led by the U.S. team, is all concentrated in this hideout code-named 23, which is reassuring to them when the government and secret services are fully familiar with all their safe houses.
Because it was secretly provided by Nick Fury, in this registration bill, he, as a bureaucrat, actually sided with the American team and provided them with a steady stream of help.
Opponents of registered superpowers are constantly gathering here to discuss their next steps, how to fight, how to win over those supporters, and how to fight against the government's new methods.
There are more and more freedom fighters among the participants, and their strength is also increasing, which should be a good thing, but the concept of the American team, which is the backbone, has been shaken.
Because he saw the news, he saw the newspapers, he knew how angry the people were, how fierce the condemnation of the opponents was, that the people had come to see them as criminals.
He also heard Martin Levent's complaint, and the rhetorical question at the end of his speech shook his resolve, why should the world dominated by ordinary people work according to the wishes of a few of them?
He said that superheroes have no privileges, but since he wants to oppose the law that the majority agrees to, and does not put himself in the shoes of ordinary people, he is afraid that he has been wrong.
"Captain!" Black Widow came to him, sat on the edge of the table and crossed her arms, "Our people have figured out where they are holding their opponents, and the routes and personnel have been figured out. ”
"Cortana," Team America looked up, "I think...... We don't necessarily mean doing good. ”
"How did you come up with this idea?" Black Widow was puzzled.
"Look at the people, they no longer accept us as anonymous heroes, and they no longer need us to protect them with the same patterns as we used to be. What do we do good for? In order to bring security to the people, we are now creating danger for the people. ”
"Then you innocent people's freedom will be sacrificed for nothing?" Nick Fury, dressed in black, strode over, and Black Widow nodded at him.
Fury looked at the American team: "Hector Araya, an unknown superhero who does good deeds, since the registration bill exposed his identity, his family members from old to young, have been shot by terrorists!" ”
"Victor Bronson, his identity and work location have been published on the dark web, and he has been offered a high price, and he is now a soldier and it is difficult for him to live."
"I have a lot of people whose identities you don't know, but who are forced to go public because of the registration bill, and who have been stolen confidential information, causing trouble to themselves, their friends and family!"
The U.S. team was a little difficult to accept: "The bill also says that it will protect their information!" ”
Fury disdainful: "I name a few names, with their hacking skills, they can easily steal these secrets in the weak link of information transmission." ”
When this happened, the American team was not only sad but also helpless: "But what can we do?" A war with the government because of the security needs of a few? Fight for opposition, open fire on the population? So how different are we from the terrorists? ”
Fury said seriously: "The difference is that we can escape from this environment, we can take innocent people away from this country that is no longer welcome to us!" ”
Black Widow also nodded: "In fact, except for the United States, many other third world countries are not so hostile to superpowers. ”
Fury said: "We can't refute the rules chosen by the majority of Americans and time will tell, but we can't watch our innocent companions fall into this quagmire!" ”
The U.S. team immediately thought of what Fury wanted to do: "You want to organize an armed prison robbery?" Take away all our companions, and those who are naysayers? ”
Fury didn't answer, but said something else: "The government has approved the formation of the Thunder Task Force, a group of superpowered criminals who are ruthless, have dealt with some of us, and know their weaknesses. What you wouldn't expect is that the former criminal Norman Osborne, who has obtained the position of a staff officer of the Thunder Agent Team, has become a righteous person and joined the persecution of you. ”
"Crazy government!" The U.S. team did not expect that the government would be so extreme in dealing with opponents.
"That's why I'm risking my life to help you." Fury approached him, "We're going to break down that prison and save everyone!" ”
"But it's going to turn into a war! A war that is already not so just! "The U.S. team still doesn't want more bloodshed.
The impatience in Fury's eyes was fleeting, and no one could perceive it: "Follow me, Steve!" I have an important secret for you, and you're going to change that! ”
……
White House.
Recently, the popular support rate is unprecedented, and Congressman Martin Levent, who is known as a defender of people's rights and a superhero of ordinary people, came to meet the president.
He is also one of the supporters of the Thunder Secret Service, and his views are particularly radical, declaring on more than one occasion that those who resist the law are no different from superterrorists, and should be dealt with the most severe punishment.
That's why the Thunder Agents passed so quickly and expanded so quickly. Today he also brought with him a conceived bill to increase the number of superpowered criminals who resist and transfer them to special prisons.
"Guantanamo, you say?"
President Johnson didn't think too much: "It's a place where terrorists are held, and they're technically opposed, and they don't reach that level, and your ideas are too radical." ”
"I'm just here to give the public a sense of security." Levent said.
Johnson reminded his juniors: "It is not what a smart politician should do to curry favor with the public excessively and put heavy shackles on the same citizens, and at worst, you are even stirring up tensions between the two sides." ”
Levent stared at him and suddenly smiled: "Your contribution to the cause of mankind is really dedicated, I didn't expect it at all. ”
This strange tone made Johnson not very liked: "If you want the position of president, rely on strength and frontality, and don't play some crooked ways." ”
"I know, I know." Levent was unimpressed, "I even know how to forge a great kingdom, and you have done a lot of what I said I was looking forward to, and you have inspired me a lot." ”
"I don't know what you're trying to say." Johnson questioned.
"It's just a simple admiration for you." Levent smiled.
Levent's draft did not receive support from the president, and he left after leaving a bunch of strange words...... Johnson, who has worked all day, doesn't think deeply, just another person who wants to win the election and does not compromise his means.
He has seen too many such people, but fortunately, he will be able to retire next year, do a good job in this last term, complete the tasks of the boss, and spend more time with his family and play golf in the future.
Johnson went to the toilet, and when he washed his hands, he always felt that his neckline was a little strangled, and when he looked up, he almost didn't scream - the green-skinned, pointy-eared image in the nightmare appeared in the mirror!
"What's going on, what's going on!"
Johnson panicked and accidentally knocked over the carafe, the sound attracted the attention of people outside, but he quickly locked the door and shouted, "I'm fine!" ”
Damn it, damn it! How come it again!
Johnson stared at the mirror and slapped his face in a panic, this nightmare has not been relived for a long time, this must be a dream, it must be! Wake up, wake up!
