Chapter 60: The Procession
"Destroy the mutants, the mutants shouldn't be under the same sky as us!" On the TV screen, the marchers shouted slogans against mutants and gathered at the gate of the city hall, three days after the 'anti-mutant' craze, but the craze did not fade as quickly as in the past, but there was a sense of intensification. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhou Ran sat on the sofa, looking at the banner slogans that kept flashing in the camera, and a beautiful blonde reporter appeared in front of the camera, holding a microphone to introduce the situation of the anti-mutant march, "At the entrance of the city hall in New York City, because of the emotional procession, the lawmakers had to issue a statement to appease the emotions of the citizens. ”
"Now, many New Yorkers say that the march has affected their lives, and the mayor is calling for the second time for the crowd to calm down......
The "anti-mutant" parades have begun to affect the daily lives of New Yorkers, and in fact, every morning Zhou Ran will find a group of well-fed and no-do guys loitering on the main roads of the city roads with banners and no more, bringing great change to the traffic flow, forcing him to spend time every day and take another route to detour to the bank.
Even the good-natured Lady Teresa began to complain about the bad effects of the march. More than once he has been told about the hidden threat of mutants.
However, according to Zhou Ran's understanding, the source of all this happened was nothing more than a small quarrel at a public high school in New York City three days ago, a mutant boy accidentally awakened his superpowers and hurt the ordinary students who were arguing with him, and the unlucky guy had to break his arm and had to be immobilized with a plaster cast for a month.
This was originally an ordinary school quarrel accident, but because of the identity of the mutant of the protagonist of the incident, it became sensitive, and the parents of the school were worried that their children would be hurt in the school, and the people with hearts began to issue through this incident, "Mutants leave the school, don't hurt us." ".
The problem of mutants has always been a big problem that has plagued the entire country or the world, but all the government can do about it is to delay indefinitely and calm down the incident through various covert means.
This is a dangerous and powerful group, and when Zhou Ran first learned about the existence of mutants through the Internet, he made such a definition in his heart. Unlike the monotony of superheroes or supercriminals, mutants are much larger in that they are detached from humans and yet above them.
However, it is impossible for the government or any country to accept a group of people above the organization, so it is natural that the relationship between mutants and the government will not be too harmonious, and even Zhou Ran speculates that there must be many mutants who are not willing to accept the status quo and try to change all this through powerful capabilities.
In fact, as Zhou Ran guessed, there are also never-ending battles in the mutant world, whether it is the human government or the evil mutants of the same kind.
……
"Zhou, are you there?" Just as Zhou Ran was looking at the news on TV in a daze, a childish cheer sounded in his ears.
Turning his head, Zhou Ran looked at the figure that appeared behind him with a puzzled expression, with long brown hair and a delicate face, the little girl who suddenly appeared behind him was his neighbor Mrs. Delisa's daughter Little Catherine, but obviously the little girl's situation was not too good at the moment, and her little face was pale and bloodless.
Zhou Ran looked at the door without any signs, and then looked at the little Catherine in front of him, he could guarantee that he didn't hear the sound of the door opening or closing just now, and he knew that after using the [Martial Arts Mastery (Black Iron)] training of the death knell, he already had a good reaction and alertness.
"Little Catherine, how did you get in?" Frowning, Zhou Ran looked at the little girl puzzled and asked.
In the face of Zhou Ran's inquiry, little Catherine shook her head, but her eyes quietly swept over the TV screen, and said softly, "I heard the sound of the TV and saw that you didn't close the door." ”
"Is that so, maybe I really forgot to close the door." Faced with the little girl's answer, Zhou Ran didn't pursue too much, and then shrugged his shoulders and attributed it to himself, looking at the little girl's pale face, he was concerned, "Little Catherine, is your body still the same uncomfortable, if not, then go to the hospital with me for examination, right?" ”
However, in the face of Zhou Ran's concern, little Catherine shook her head without hesitation and refused in a low voice, "It's okay, I just need to sleep well in bed." "The little girl knows that going to the hospital is a very serious matter, and it will cost her mother a lot of money, and their family is not rich.
As we all know, in the United States, buying medical insurance is a very expensive expense, so the general public simply does not have so much spare money to buy medical insurance for themselves, some minor diseases such as headaches and colds are solved by drugs, and only when it is really serious will you go to the hospital for treatment, and going to the hospital represents a huge amount of medical bills waiting for you.
Faced with the stubborn little girl, Zhou Ran easily thought of the plight of Mrs. Delisa's family, a single mother who was living in poverty, obviously did not have the ability to pay for the high medical insurance.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for your medical expenses."
"No, I'm fine." In response to Zhou Ran, there was still only little Catherine's stubborn answer, and the little girl unexpectedly insisted.
The little girl's stubbornness was unexpected by Zhou Ran, maybe it was the children of poor families who were in charge early, for Zhou Ran's proposal, little Catherine shook her head and refused, knowing that she was not rich, she even hid from her mother to go to and from class on time every day, if she let her mother know that she went to the hospital because she was sick, I don't know how worried she would be.
Looking at the stubborn appearance of little Catherine's pouting lips, Zhou Ran had a little headache, judging from the girl's pale face, it was obviously not something that could be solved by sleeping as she said.
After a little thought, his gaze swept over the scene of the helicopter on the TV screen and happened to sweep from the square, and then the inspiration flashed in his mind and showed a smile of understanding, squatted down and touched little Catherine's head, looked directly at the girl's bright eyes and smiled and said, "It's not a good way to stay at home all the time, if you don't want to go to the hospital, then let's walk outside." ”
As long as little Catherine goes out with herself, Zhou Ran has a way to let the little girl go to the hospital.
"......" lowered her head, a hesitant expression appeared on little Catherine's little face, and her tangled little eyebrows looked extremely cute. Because of Mrs. Delisa's busy work, the little girl has been playing in a small apartment except for school, and she is very envious of the description of her classmates who watch movies and go to the night with her family every weekend.
