Chapter 34: Lightning Strikes/Reporter Recruitment
Liberty Island, also known as Liberty Island, is a small island in New York City's harbor, not far southwest of Manhattan Island.
It covers an area of about 4 hectares (60 acres) and houses the famous "Statue of Liberty" and the Rice Immigration Museum.
Because the legislators of various states in the United States came to the meeting tonight, even the coastline has already been lifted, Edward walked outside, and the defense was impermeable, although it was useless for him, and he could pass through it when he stopped, but he had to go to the middle of the island between the seas.
Theoretically, even the movement at the atomic and molecular levels can be stopped, without which the water surface is no different from the land, Edward has experimented at home, and he can indeed do it, but there are certain problems that lead to excessive consumption.
Originally, you only need to grab a piece of food once for a time stop, but when you move on the water, you need to grab it once after walking three steps......
The "Eater" system comes with a "backup", in the process of grabbing food, the food energy grabbed is enough to complete the task, and you can continue to grab the next amount of food, a backup, and can only back up the next "once" when it stops, and no more can be used.
Normally, a looter quest is counted once, and it won't be counted if you grab it again this time, but with a "backup", this time's food can also be used in the next one.
The only thing that cheats is that this backup does not directly save the energy absorption for the next time, but only gives these foods permissions, so that they can eat directly without grabbing them next time, which leads to Edward's really wanting to use the backup, and he has to take things with him......
Edward measured the distance from the shore to Liberty Island, counting one every three steps, the backup would definitely be useless, and when he walked over, he would probably be able to empty the food for tonight's banquet on Liberty Island......
Edward looked at the waves and said, forget it, wait for a ship.
It's not just one thing that reassures the people behind the scenes, no one tracks them on these two trips, it's just that the surveillance video of the passing by always locks him in particular.
It's just a surveillance video, Edward has a way to dodge, the meeting doesn't start until the evening, and Magneto, in order to catch them all, also waits for the night to carry out the plan with the machine and the little naughty.
So Edward is not in a hurry to hide from the surveillance now, so that the beetle pays attention to the situation, but takes out his mobile phone below to play online, and the second-hand mobile phone he bought yesterday is mainly because he is not distressed when he throws it away.
This phone doesn't work for other functions, but the shooting and pixels are good - Edward plans to report it again in the name of "whistleblower".
There is no way, he is not in combat effectiveness, and if he wants to destroy Magneto's operation, he can only summon support, and at this time, the identity of the whistleblower is a must.
This phone has no advantages other than shooting, and the hardware of the phone can't keep up with the Internet speed, but it's enough to just watch the news.
The news is still those, celebrities cheating, luxury car accidents, all kinds of shootings, the only thing that is interesting is that I saw "A Hollywood star exposes Stark Pull X ruthlessly" in the entertainment section, "Shocked, Wayne has a son with a certain star has been confirmed as a rumor! 》……
"Sir, the news detected for the keyword you entered, is it forwarded?"
"My keyword?" Edward was shocked, "Transfer!" ”
Edward has no habit of paying attention to the news, and the keywords he types are "Superman, Batman, Iron Man, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Captain America...... these superhero code names.
and some superhero-exclusive "special events", such as Stark's disappearance and the like.
The presence of keywords in the news means ...... There are heroes who appear.

At noon today, a flash of lightning struck through the forensic laboratory of a certain bureau in Zhongcheng, and one person was seriously injured and hospitalized, but he is not out of danger.
An insider in the chemical laboratory revealed that there was only one man left in the laboratory at the time, so there was no other person witnessing the incident, but the insider revealed some information about the man's injuries
He was struck by lightning and every inch of his skin was burned, but that was just the beginning, those chemical bottles were broken by the electric current, and he fell to the ground, and the wound burned by the electric current was still stained with all kinds of chemical agents, God, I don't even know if he was stunned by lightning or from pain. ’
The man was transferred to the emergency room after being found, and as of press release, the man is still resuscitating.
I hope he's doing well. ”
"Barry......" Edward touched his chin, wasn't the particle accelerator exploding to release abnormal energy particles that caused lightning to strike? Then it's not the TV series version of "The Flash".
At present, the only way Barry Allen transforms is the TV version, which causes the lightning to descend from the explosion of the particle accelerator, and the rest of the comics, anime/animated movie versions, are basically without the particle accelerator, the sun rises as usual, and the lightning hits him as usual.
As for Barry Allen's injury, he wasn't too worried, if there was no accident, Barry Allen could become a Flash after lying in the intensive care unit for a few days.
Meantime.
Metropolis, headquarters of the daily planet.
Outside the headquarters, a man in a suit pushed his glasses.
"There's an interview in five minutes, it should be here." Muttering to himself, he walked into the headquarters of the Daily Planet
"Yes, yes, I'm Louise, whistleblower? To me I know him, it's just a rumor, well, okay, I'll check it out for myself. Louise hung up.
Whistleblower? If you really report it, wouldn't it be good to report it, what does the live broadcast do? It should just be sensationalism, Louise stared at some of the discussions on the computer and thought about it, when she heard an annoying angry roar coming from the side.
"Why am I scolding you? Because you're my subordinate, you idiot intern! Not only am I going to scold you, I'm going to throw the wastebasket on your head.
Until you say a hundred times, 'Mr. Galloway wants me to take strawberries, not bananas!'" And you have to say out loud in front of everyone, 'I'm sorry, Gallowigo!' If I can't hear it, I'll have to keep talking until I can hear it! The tall Galloway stuck the wastebasket on the head of the other short blonde boy.
"Well, my name is Jim......" said the blonde boy weakly.
"You are what I write on your paycheck! You incompetent shit! ”
In front of the staircase, the man in the suit who came to apply frowned and asked, "Who is that?" Why did he ...... like this?"
"That's Quentin, publisher, he's got the guy done today......"
"Kara." The pen in the man's hand was crushed, he didn't like this kind of bully.
The man in the suit crushed the pen, but before he could do anything, he heard a woman's scream.
Louise rushed over "Hey, what are you going to do?!" He's Jim Orsson, an intern, not an idiot. Do you think you're a big shot? Because he has to eat diet food, he took the wrong one for you, so he was in a bad mood and openly attacked a company employee?!
Remember, he is an employee of the newspaper and not your servant! ”
"Yo yo yo, isn't this Louise Lane? Are the aliens not beautiful enough, or the mummies not eye-catching enough? Why weren't you tracking UFOs or crop circles today," Quentin scoffed.
Isn't it funny that the Planet Daily covers current affairs, finance, society, technology, culture, fashion, entertainment and other fields, and as a result, the chief reporter has a good business ability not to interview those parliamentarians and stare at supernatural events all day long?
"Listen, you pay us to work, not to buy our dignity, my investigation of supernatural events is outside of work, your power does not mean that you can order me to do what I should not do outside of working hours, and you can't drive good people away just because you are more powerful, I can't do it with me!" Louise Lane said firmly.
Quentin stared at her angrily, but couldn't speak, Louise was the most effective reporter under White's editor-in-chief, and without one, the cards of the Planet Daily, he really couldn't tear his face with her.
The main thing is that for a small broken intern, it's not worth it.
At the top of the stairs, the man in the suit raised his eyebrows, "I think I'm in love." "He likes this kind of woman with a sense of justice.
Quentin and Louise confront each other for a moment.
"Ahhh
He lost, the man in the suit said secretly.
Calm returned to the newsroom, and the man in the suit walked up, clapping and shouting, "Wow." ”
The train of thought just now was interrupted, Louise was in a very bad mood, but she still restrained herself, looked back, she didn't know, stranger, so her tone was not very good, and she asked, "What?" ”
"That's it...... Well done. The man in the suit said with a smile.
"Thanks for the compliment." Louise waved her hand, "You're here to apply?" ”
At this moment, a woman in a white top and black over-the-knee skirt approached "Hey, Louise"
"Hey, Kate." Louise replied with a forehead lift.
"Quarrel again?"
Louise gestured to the manuscripts flying on the ground.
Kate shook her head helplessly, she was used to the two-day thing, she patted the man in the suit on the shoulder, "Mr. Kent?" Editor-in-Chief White wants to see you. ”
When the man in the suit heard this, he turned around to leave.
"Wait." Louise suddenly stopped him, "Kent, is that Clark Kent who reported the news of Asuru? ”
