Chapter 179: Ocean Public Opinion, the Deep Sea That Makes a Splash
"Speak slowly." Xia Shang stretched out his hand and pressed the boot button of the computer, ready to see what had happened in the past few days since he left.
"Yes, Mr. Jerves." The twin man calmed down a little, "First of all, the superhero Storm Girl attack incident, this incident has been tightly sealed by the Walter Group, the specific details are in your mailbox.
The second is the superhero movie that the Walter Group recently planned, which was originally intended to promote the new hero Storm Girl.
However, due to the sudden accident of the Storm Girl, the filming of the film was urgently stopped. ”
"Isn't that normal? What's the problem? ”
Xia Shang clicked on his mailbox, and sure enough, he saw the email sent to him by Edgar.
The content of the email is a bit long, which roughly means that the criminal terrorist organization led by Billy planned this terrible terrorist operation, and in this operation, caused extremely serious harm to the Storm Girl.
At present, the Storm Girl is still being rescued, but this incident must be kept strictly secret, if the general public learns that the Storm Girl, who has just become a criminal nemesis, is now attacked by terrorists and is on the verge of death, which is an extremely serious blow to the Storm Girl herself, as well as the superhero and even the reputation of the entire Walter Group.
This will make ordinary people feel that superheroes can't even protect themselves, let alone be able to protect them.
Once public opinion is fermented.
The credibility of the Walter Group is in danger of being completely destroyed.
You must know that a large part of the reason why the superhero industry under the Walter Group can flourish as it is now is due to people's fanatical worship of superheroes and the belief that superheroes have enough strength to protect their personal safety.
One day they suddenly discover that superheroes are not as powerful as they thought.
It is conceivable what a catastrophe this will be for Walter, once the credibility is gone, it is difficult to establish it again, so Edgar's wording is quite urgent, after all, this also affects the sales of compound five.
"There's no problem with the fact that the superhero movie can't continue to be filmed, but the serious thing is that now there are people who maliciously spread it on the Internet, and the Storm Girl is not only an extreme racist who believes in white supremacy, but also the real culprit behind the detonation of the train.
But that's not all, after all, they didn't produce the corresponding evidence.
What's even more deadly is that they clearly pointed out that Storm Girl is dead, superheroes are not invincible, and said that if Storm Girl is not dead, she will stand in front of the stage in front of everyone and show her superpowers.
Mr. Xia Shang, you also know that even if I can imitate her, I can't imitate superpowers. ”
"What is the current state of public opinion?" Xia Shang said indifferently.
Don't guess, the guys who spread public opinion must be Billy and them, but this time they learned smartly, maybe they saw a clue from the invisible man, guessing that under the Walter Group, there may be superhumans who can imitate the appearance of others, so they are sure that even if superhumans can imitate the appearance of Storm Girl.
It's impossible to use the same superpowers.
The twin man on the other end of the phone, his eyebrows were almost squeezed together: "Very unoptimistic, now someone has questioned Walter why the fan meeting was only held once, and it was urgently stopped, if the storm girl didn't have an accident, why did Walter Company make such a move to cover his ears and steal the bell." ”
"I see, is there anything else going on lately?" Xia Shang got up and came to the window, looked down at the watch he had just put on his wrist, and at ten o'clock, exactly half an hour had passed since his time at work.
"Another thing is about the deep sea, the recent Neon State announced that it will pour nuclear sewage into the sea, which has caused a lot of public opinion, and the whole world is paying attention to this matter, but Congress has not said anything, the attitude of the US government has caused dissatisfaction with non-governmental environmental protection organizations, and two demonstrations of more than 3,000 people have been held.
The president of Shenhai, Mr. Edgar, was dissatisfied with the active participation of Shenhai without Walter's permission and demanded that Shenhai immediately stop all activities. ”
"It's like he can do it."
Xia Shang smiled, came to the wardrobe, and picked out a set of off-white suits.
"If I'm not mistaken, he must be very popular right now."
His name and picture have exploded on various social media, and his influence has even spread abroad, according to a survey by Walter's relevant departments, his approval rating in various states has soared by 70%, and the popularity is currently second in the group of seven, second only to the motherland.
Moreover, the gap with the Motherland is getting smaller and smaller. ”
"Looks like a guy can't sleep."
Xia Shang is not only referring to the motherland, but also the deep sea, but the simple-minded deep sea does not think too much, so only the motherland people can't sleep at present.
…………
In a secret base in New York State, Dr. Vogelbaum, who had been retired for many years, walked out of the infirmary with a frown.
"How's it going?" The motherland, who was standing at the door and waiting, asked expressionlessly.
It can be seen that he is in a very bad mood,
Although the guy was pierced through the chest by his own laser eye at the time, he was unable to find his body, and there are only two possibilities for such a situation.
Either someone preemptively moved the body before him, or the guy didn't die at all, these two possibilities, the motherland is more inclined to the latter, he would rather believe that the guy escaped, and he doesn't want to admit that someone can move a body under his nose,
The gray-haired Dr. Vogelbaum shook his head, "The situation is not promising, although she has regained consciousness and her epidermis is 70% restored, there is no sign of regeneration of the broken arm.
Even injecting a large amount of compound 5 could not regenerate her severed arm, and her self-healing ability had been pushed to the limit. ”
The Motherland did not speak, but pushed open the door of the infirmary and stepped inside.
He came to the bedside, looked affectionately at the unrecognizable Storm Girl, held her hand, and said softly, "Why didn't you give me those photos earlier, I'll be happy to help you." ”
The Storm Girl slowly opened her eyes, her lips slightly open, but she couldn't make any sound because her vocal cords were damaged.
"I've used all of Vought's departments, and I'm sure I'll soon know who that guy is, don't worry, if he doesn't die, I'll kill him again to avenge you."
The motherland said with a happy expression.
"Shhh...... Oh! ”
