Chapter 53: The World of Public Opinion
The rough seas outside didn't affect Kara's life in the slightest.
I still woke up early and enjoyed my breakfast.
It's just that today not only did she get up early, but even Justin got up early.
"The sun is coming out of the west?" Carla looked at Justin, who had sat at the table earlier than herself, and smiled as she spoke.
"I really didn't sleep well yesterday." Justin's pupils twitched slightly when he first saw Kara, apparently the events of last night had given him a fairly comprehensive understanding of the destructive power of his cheap sister.
That's New York, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world.
However, during the battle between Kara and another of Kara's kind, who is said to be Kara, he is reduced to rubble.
No one has filmed the battle between the two men, and the only photograph is that taken by Eddie Bullock, which was later named "Moonlight Valkyrie" by some do-gooders.
In the morning, almost all the TV news was talking about yesterday's events in New York, and that picture was constantly shown by them.
Even Justin can clearly remember many of the details on that photo.
"Are you alright?" Justin looked at Kara's lower abdomen and said with some concern.
On the top of the photo, it was quite clear that Kara's belly suit had been damaged for a long time, and there were even some dirty patterns there.
It's not hard to see that there must have been an attack.
Carla naturally saw Justin's dilated pupils, and she knew very well that there was no problem with Justin's state, even if they were family, but in the face of such a completely unknown thing, not many people would actually do better than Justin.
However, Kara didn't expect that Justin would be able to adjust so quickly and even care about himself.
"There's no problem, and that's what he did." Carla sat down in her seat, "I thought you would be scared of me. ”
"A little, indeed." Justin didn't deny it, and shrugged his shoulders directly, "But I guess that sister of mine won't do anything to me." ”
"You're really big-hearted." Justin's attitude made Kara laugh softly.
"How so? Maybe that's one of the benefits of competing with Stark. Justin gently wiped his mouth with a napkin, "I am always hit by a person in different ways, and I slowly get used to it." ”
"Okay." Kara shook her head helplessly.
At this time, Old Jack also brought Kara's breakfast.
Old Jack's kind and kind face still had that kind smile that made people warm: "Miss, it's time to eat." ”
"Thank you." Looking at Old Jack's calm state, Kara was also a little stunned for a while.
It's as if the people around me don't care at all about what they did last night, and they need to know that what they're doing is not cognitively distracted in front of them.
They can recognize themselves as the person in the photo.
But Old Jack still spoke to himself in this way, and even under Kara's observation, Old Jack's blood flow rate and heart rate did not change.
Old Jack put the food in his hand in front of Kara, and then looked at Carla and asked softly, "Miss, can you allow me to do something." ”
Kara looked at Old Jack, who was extremely solemn at the moment, and nodded.
Old Jack stepped forward and gave Carla a firm hug.
"No matter what happened, in my eyes, Miss is the quiet child who is willing to wait quietly in the garden." Old Jack's voice was not loud, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to hear Old Jack's voice if it weren't even for this close proximity.
"So, remember, we'll always be behind Miss." Old Jack said this with a smile, and then let go of Kara, bowed lightly to Kara and left.
Kara didn't know what to say for a while, and finally could only spit out slowly: "How old are you, and you still play this handsome." ”
"That's not handsome." Justin shook his head, "It's so easy for old Jack to be so affectionate, and it makes you complain ruthlessly, which is too unkind." ”
"Just you talk a lot." Carla rolled her eyes at Justin mercilessly.
Justin didn't care at all, just laughed and got up to leave the restaurant.
Before leaving, he also turned back to Kara and said, "Don't worry, those things will pass soon." ”
Then he left without looking back.
Kara didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only open the plate in front of her with a smile on her face.
Only this time, even her eyes slowly moistened.
It was a fairly simple breakfast, except that the sandwich was artificially processed to look like a rabbit and dotted with two red beans to serve as a rabbit's eye.
This breakfast was the first breakfast Carla had since she was adopted by the Hammers. Now it's in front of Kara again.
Just like the first time, in the blank space of the plate with the rabbit, the words are still written in ketchup, except that at that time the words were "Welcome to your new home, Miss." ”
And now it's "Welcome Home." ”
Looking at the breakfast, Carla shook her head, picked up the sandwich, and silently savored the warmth.
While Carla was enjoying his warm breakfast, Justin began to do his own movements.
In this world, except for his sister's little secretary who has always been by his side, and the old Jack at home, everyone else, Justin dared to pat his chest and say that no one knows Kara's strengths and weaknesses better than him.
Among them, public opinion is still a little lacking for his sister.
But he, Justin, has always been one of the most pinnacle publicists in the world, and he has never convinced anyone in this regard!
Tony Stark can't either.
While all eyes are on the casualties and damage caused by this battle, let people know what the whole world will look like if the aliens really complete their plans.
But now Justin is still a step slower, and someone has already made a move.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has already begun to control public opinion early, and at the same time, it has begun to reveal the effects of the huge machines used by the aliens to the public.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
When Justin began to manipulate his own public opinion, the direction of the market had begun to slowly change.
People still mourn those who died in this battle, but more often than not, they are glad that that person will still be on the side of humanity, at least in the face of those aliens.
Otherwise, there is no so-called human race now, and some are just ruins.
Judging from the state of the city center of New York, it is very likely that the traces of human life on this planet will be erased by those aliens.
Humanity will disappear completely.
Even those who were able to hide in their so-called fortresses still had no chance of surviving.
Nick Fury himself was a little surprised when he saw the control of public opinion.
When has S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control over public opinion reached such a level that it was able to bring down all the problems in a matter of hours.
Even now there are voices that want Kara to be responsible, but it's not the mainstream anymore.
Human beings are like this, in the midst of a big stream, there will always be some contrarian guys, and it is unknown whether they can finally make a difference.
But for the current public opinion environment, Pierce, who is sitting in his office, is also quite satisfied.
It wasn't that they didn't have the idea of fighting Kara, and when S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed Kara, they naturally knew a lot of news.
At that time, they also thought about whether they could control this suspected superhuman woman, but they never thought of a suitable way, so they slowly put it on hold.
Especially after S.H.I.E.L.D. gave up on contacting Kara, they also chose the same way.
Completely turning a blind eye to such a super-combat force.
Especially after the battle in New York, Pierce gave a big thumbs up for the idea of giving up on contacting Kara directly.
If she had been directly angered at the beginning, she would probably be lying in the cemetery by now.
And now Pierce also pointed to his own people began to control public opinion, trying not to challenge the nerves of that person, when S.H.I.E.L.D. still recorded Kara's information, Pierce clearly remembered the last piece of information that was added.
The target is suspected of bipolar disorder, mental instability, the best advice is to stay away.
Looking up at the TV talk show in front of him, there were weapons experts and scientists on it, all explaining what those alien machines were for last night.
Ultimately, what happens if it's done.
"We can be sure that the machines that were over New York City and on the other side of the planet were planet-transforming machines that wanted to make the planet their own." At the moment, the expert is also pointing at the World Engine picture he is finding.
"Can we think that when that thing succeeds, humanity will cease to exist?" The moderator is also quite clever to keep up with the experts.
Putting down the picture in his hand, the expert said to the host quite categorically: "Don't think that as long as you succeed, human beings and everything we know now will become the history of this planet." ”
"And it's going to be the kind of history that won't be remembered at all."
"That Valkyrie has become our savior, hasn't she?"
"Yes."
Looking at the experts on TV, Pierce also smiled slightly.
Now I can only hope that the Valkyrie who lives among them will really accept this kindness.
It's just that what they don't know is that the Valkyrie in their mouth didn't notice the problem of public opinion at all.
