Chapter 4335

It can be said that Lois's timeliness theory was perfectly practiced. The order of news is very important. Sometimes, some people suppress the appearance of certain news, not to completely eliminate this news, but just to drag time. As long as it is dragged to the right time, the lethality will be greatly reduced.

This time is also the same. Lois's actions were much faster than the military, directly throwing out the news that she was poisoned and that she and Superman were a couple. Then the military threw out the news of Clark's identity, and this news easily became an accessory to the previous two.

If this news was thrown out first, then everyone might focus on discussing, where exactly is Superman from? Why did he fight other alien monsters, etc.

But now everyone's eyes are focused on Lois being poisoned. And as soon as this news came out, people would naturally feel that this is an important clue to expose the truth of the military's silencing. Once it is regarded as an accessory, it is not that important,

Although there are quite a few people discussing the matter under this news, on other platforms, the development of public opinion is very free. Almost everyone guesses that because Lois was poisoned and exploded, in order to suppress this reporter, they immediately went to engage her boyfriend.

This kind of thing is too common. If you can't deal with the person himself, you go to deal with their family and important friends, which is used to contain his energy, and by the way, smear his circle of friends, lowering the public's impression of him.

Then the question returns to the origin: why exactly did the military want to poison Lois?

What exactly made them even go to the extreme of dealing with her boyfriend, and also want to make her lose her reputation?

And at this time, the Daily Planet published an "Investigation Report on Illegal Immigrants and Homeless People in Los Angeles". This report is actually written by Clark, his real observations in Los Angeles, and then attached with some official statistical data. Looking at it alone, it is nothing, most Americans are used to it — illegal immigrants and homeless people die if they die, and it doesn't affect anything.

However, as the newspaper office that arrived at the scene first after Lois was poisoned, their actions at this time attracted the attention of many people. Then many people discovered that this report vaguely pointed out the sharp decline in the number of homeless people recently, and the problem that the direction of the vehicles collecting corpses was different from the past.

Then there is no running, it is definitely taken to do some unspeakable experiments. Can the old cannons of the American yellow flag still not understand this? One, three, five biochemical viruses, two, four, six genetic modification, and the last day is used to silence relevant personnel.

So, the general context of the matter has been sorted out: because of the existence of aliens, the military collected a large number of corpses, or simply caught living people to do experiments, one didn't fix it well, and created the monster that flew to the sky of Metropolis.

The brave independent reporter Lois discovered their behavior long ago, launched an investigation in Los Angeles, and returned to Metropolis with important materials, but was discovered by the military and intended to be silenced.

Poisoning and silencing failed, the military was angry and ashamed, wanted to suppress her reputation and divert attention, so they simply threw out the identity problem of her boyfriend Superman, intending to achieve public opinion victory.

And the biggest flaw in this matter is that generally speaking, Americans will not take such a troublesome way to silence — especially armed departments like the military, generally they give a shot directly.

But the couple relationship between Lois and Superman explained this flaw very well. Please, the person's boyfriend is Superman, you hold a gun and go to knock on the door, don't make your Superman brother laugh.

It is precisely because Lois has been under Superman's protection that the military has no way to use the usual violent means, and can only take another path to poison her. Maybe it is also because they are not very skilled, so the poisoning did not succeed. Until it could not be hidden at all, this matter was exposed.

The United States is indeed worthy of being a country with separation of powers. The biggest advantage of this system is: once a department has an accident, other departments will inevitably fall into the well. It is equivalent to your left hand and your right hand wrestling with each other, and it is a zero-sum game, just aiming to kill the other party.

As soon as this military matter came out, Congress immediately started the inquiry procedure, requiring the military to give an explanation. It sounds like they care about the people's feelings and ask for the people, but in reality, it is to wash themselves clean by convicting the military.

The military is also numb. After hunting geese all day, finally, they were pecked by geese, and they didn't play with this group of people who study journalism. Then what can be done?

Inquiry must not be missed, otherwise they will be convicted directly. Pushing a few internal scapegoats is probably not enough, they must find a way to throw this pot out. Even if they can't throw it all out, they must at least throw out a part of it, so that they can reduce their crimes.

Who is the best pot-throwing object? Of course, Lex Luthor.

It can't even be said to be a pot-throwing object, this matter itself was done by him. Do you really think there is no surveillance in our laboratory?

Before they didn't go to find Luthor's trouble because the matter of capturing Zod itself could not be seen, plus Luthor was also invited by them, and poking it out actively would not have any benefits.

But now the matter has reached this step, it is not a question of whether to die or not, but how much to die. Then in order to die less, of course, they have to confess Luthor.

At the inquiry meeting, the military directly took out the surveillance video. The video showed that it was indeed Luthor who did something to Zod's experimental body. The evidence is solid and undeniable. On that day, Lex Luthor was arrested and imprisoned.

The crime this time was too big, and the evidence was too solid, basically there was no room for defense. And in order to wash themselves white, the military released the news early. The stock price of Luthor Group fell again and again, and those big crocodiles who had long been greedy for Luthor Group finally started to move.

This behemoth that once almost ruled Metropolis didn't make much more sound than a stone falling into the water when it collapsed. When Clark saw Luthor's prison photo with his head shaved on the front page of the newspaper, he didn't feel much happiness, just some sighing.

And what he didn't expect more was that on the second day of Luthor's imprisonment, on his way back to his apartment, a team of men in black stopped him and invited him to the alley next to him.

Clark was a bit speechless. He didn't know what was the use of the other party playing this trick. For normal people, it was full of mystery, but he was a super-powered person who could see through the internal organs of people. Therefore, when the woman in black appeared, not only was there no mystery, but Clark also saw her fatty liver at a glance.

"Hello, madam, what can I do for you?" Clark asked.

The other party took out her ID from her coat, showed it to him, and then said: "Government and government agent, the main person in charge of the 'Task Force X', Amanda Waller. Famous Mr. Superman, I came to find you, mainly to talk to you about a plan that the government has been carrying out for more than ten years. We saw the hope of pushing the plan one step further in you. Are you free?"

"Actually, I was not free originally," Clark said truthfully, "However, since you said so, I don't seem to have any room to refuse. Where are we going to talk?"

This strong black woman didn't seem to expect Superman to be so cooperative. She paused for a moment, but still said: "Get in the car first."

Clark followed her into the car. There was no one in this car except the driver and the two of them. Amanda said: "I know you might not have heard of Task Force X, but I must tell you that you are not the first super-powered person we discovered."

"Oh, okay." Clark's answer was very flat.

Amanda frowned again. In the past, when she said this to some super-powered people, the other party would be very interested, either chasing her to ask who else there was, or asking what other abilities they had.

"In fact, you are not the first alien we discovered either." Amanda threw out another piece of news.

"But I should be the most valued one, my honor." Clark's perfunctory was visible to the naked eye.

This made Amanda frown deeply, she said: "Have you seen any super-powered people and aliens other than you?"

"Seen them, seen them on the murals displayed at the Metropolis Museum." Clark shrugged and said, "Some time ago, it was circulating on the Internet that aliens had landed in ancient Egypt long ago. Looking at it this way, I am considered to have come relatively late."

"In order to investigate and manage people like you, the government passed an action called Task Force X. In order to ensure Earth's safety, we have been monitoring super-powered people."

"But you obviously didn't monitor that monster, otherwise you wouldn't need me to take action." Clark knew his words were a bit sharp, but he really couldn't stand the attitude of this woman named Amanda. You monitor privately if you want, but you have to run in front of me and say it, isn't this a provocation?

Unexpectedly, Amanda was not angry either. She just nodded and said: "Indeed, that monster appeared too abruptly, and we couldn't react at all. If it weren't for you, Metropolis might have been destroyed by now. You are indeed a hero."

These words made Clark feel a little more comfortable. After all, since his identity was announced, he always felt that someone looked at him with strange eyes. And although he didn't ask for rewards for saving people, he was still happy when someone praised him.

"Precisely because of this, we came to you, hoping to establish cooperation with you. Once there is a disaster that we can't respond to in time, or cannot deal with, we hope you can take action to save people."

"This is no problem," Clark said, "However, if it's just this matter, you can just send me an email, no need to make it so solemn, right?"

Amanda shook her head and said: "It's not that simple. You haven't experienced this mode before, right?"

Clark finally heard some unusual meaning, he said: "Are you hoping to hire me and let me do things for you?"

"You can say that." Amanda said bluntly, "However, we will not restrict your freedom, nor will we require you to go to work every day, just arrive when something happens and solve some problems that cannot be solved by us."

"Okay, then what problems will you let me solve?"

"For example, the monster before, you did a good job. That time it was indeed our mistake, and we didn't find the monster's existence in advance. However, we have indeed made some relatively effective early warnings. When we get to the base, we can show you the data, if there are such things in the future, and the disaster that occurs happens to fit your ability, we will notify you to solve it."

Clark didn't speak, just watched the car drive into the underground garage. When they came out of the elevator, he found that this was indeed a very large base, and it looked like it had been there for some years. People were doing things in an orderly manner.
