498. Words can kill
In a short time, the originally hard marble floor changed into a puddle of mud, and from under the softened ground, one high and one short, two figures slowly rose.
Black Star looked at the tall one and nodded, "Rock Soldier." ”
Then his gaze swept to the short figure, and he was slightly surprised: "Fandom? Why are you here too? ”
Fanxin is still combing a strand of ponytail at the moment, jumping and jumping: "Boss, why didn't you tell me in advance about such a lively thing?" Eating alone secretly? Not suitable, right? ”
"What? Tired of being crooked, huh? Black Star pursed his lips and said, "I see that there is an outbreak of the virus here, and the happiest person is you, right?" ”
Fanxin just smiled and didn't speak.
"Forget it......" Black Star shook his head: "Back to business, now that this alien has been rescued by us, since the virus on his body has no effect on the superpower, then as long as you pay attention, do a good job of isolation, and don't let him come into contact with any ordinary people again, the virus will not spread further in other places." ”
"And the people here? The rock soldier hesitated.
Blackstar glanced at several policemen, including Captain Mercer, paused, and said, "I have my own plans. ”
"Until then, Iwa, you're trying to find a way to isolate the city completely."
Yan Bing's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head slightly: "Understood." ”
But no one can know what this No. 2 person of the Black Star Society is thinking now, not even the fascination that can see the ups and downs of people's emotions.
……
At the same time, in a secret intelligence room in Washington, a group of U.S. intelligence agency personnel in charge of negotiating with Captain Merser were already overwhelmed.
The leader is a middle-aged man named Charles, and what is somewhat rare is that he is not only one of the main leaders of the top intelligence agency of the United States, but also has the identity of a superpower.
Generally speaking, the U.S. government itself does have many superpowers under its command, but there are very few that are so deeply involved with the government itself.
The main reason is that this superpower named Charles, before he awakened, he was already in a high position in the relevant departments, so after awakening, he was more reused.
But at this moment, he is not in a very good mood.
Because just now, he got a message......
"What? That alien was kidnapped by the Black Star Society? Charles slammed the table and made a loud noise: "What are you all eating!" ”
But then, Charles's face was a little cloudy: "Aren't they afraid of being infected?" ”
Because the position he stands in is high enough, compared to his subordinates, Charles can also have access to more insiders, and his understanding of the truth of the whole matter is almost no less than the existence of the real top level of the US government, and because of this, even if his superpower is not weak, it is very suitable for this kind of stealth rescue activity, but he definitely does not have any idea of risking his life.
Who would do something they knew they would die?
But soon, he thought of another thing: "Wait, that alien was taken away by the Black Star Society, that is, in that city now, except for the virus infected people, there are only some ordinary civilians left?" ”
"That's ......," the subordinate whispered.
"In that case, wouldn't we be able to ......," Charles frowned, "Let's find a way to deal with those infected first?" ”
"At this rate, if those infected are left alone, once some of these alien viruses begin to evolve themselves, it is very likely to lead to the destruction of the entire planet!"
"That'...... What do you mean? ”
"Those who are infected must all be incinerated!" Charles said in a deep voice: "Any compassion for these very few people today is irresponsible to all mankind!" ”
"Yes...... There are also a large number of ordinary civilians in the city who have not been infected, and if the infected virus is still incubating, it is impossible to identify it. The subordinate hesitated for a moment and muttered.
Charles glanced at his subordinate and asked, "What if among the so-called 'uninfected civilians', there are infected people who have been infected with the virus but have not yet shown signs?" ”
The subordinates' eyes widened, and their hands clenched into fists: "You can't ...... it"
"There's no way...... Charles said helplessly, what his subordinates want to say later, he knows, many people know.
But no one dared to say.
Because no one can afford that kind of responsibility, Charles, maybe not the president of the United States, or even ...... It is still not possible to apportionment it to the whole government.
"Forget it." After a while, Charles shook his head and smiled: "If you really want to use those weapons, you must go through the approval of the highest level, those of us who don't even know what the switch password looks like, think about this, is it useful?" ”
"But, sir, it's not just us, it seems that some other countries have also received some scattered intelligence messages." The subordinate reminded: "After all, this is a major event that will cause the extinction of the entire planet...... No country is immune from it, and perhaps other major powers with nuclear strike capabilities will also do it if we don't wait for us to do so. ”
But then Charles's words made his subordinate speechless: "What if the whole world thinks like you?" ”
Without waiting for his subordinates to answer, Charles said to himself: "In fact, the high-level people in various countries who are qualified to know about this matter understand one thing...... The 500,000 potentially infected population in that city is always a problem that must be solved as soon as possible, but in the end, who will risk the huge consequences of being condemned by public opinion around the world to solve this problem is the most important point. ”
"This role, in the long run, may not be really sealed in the distant future, but at least in the near future, at least in a few short years, or even a dozen years, it will be burdened with infamy that individuals cannot bear."
"Words, or public opinion, can actually kill." Charles also seemed to feel a slight chill, and subconsciously shrunk his neck: "This kind of lethality does not depend on whether you are a powerful superpower or a high-ranking powerhouse. ”
"This invisible power is not what your super physique, your layers of guards, can resist and eliminate."
"If, at the end of the day, there is really no other way but to solve these problems, then ...... I don't want it to be us. ”
"But what if we have to solve it? Sir. The subordinate looked firm: "We're doing the right thing, right?" ”
Charles was silent for a while, and then said slowly:
"Of course."
"But politically, maybe not so right."
