Chapter 441

Superman of metropolis doesn't know that his name has appeared in someone's notebook.

For a long time to come, he will be regarded as a threat and a time bomb, so he will be closely watched.

A week has passed since Clark officially announced his identity.

With the fermentation of time, there is no sign of stopping the fierce discussion in all aspects, but there is a growing trend.

In this way, Clark lost the ordinary life of ordinary high school students.

First, he got a call from his parents in Kansas.

Adoptive father Jonathan did not blame his son's choice. He understood and worried.

Because of the different views of the town people, the interview activities of the city hall, and even the governor's personal visit

Jonathan and Martha, an ordinary couple, were caught off guard and difficult to deal with.

They are not willing to become the focus of the public and live a better life in the name of Superman adoptive parents.

Unfortunately, others obviously don't think so.

Those reporters swarming in, paparazzi crouching 24 hours

They couldn't find Superman, so they had to wait in their hometown in Kansas, trying to find some useful material that could be used as exclusive news.

Superman's childhood life, Superman's growth environment... As long as it's about Superman, everyone likes to watch it.

This is a new wealth password!

"Everything seems to be going in a worse direction."

Clark's eyes looked through the French windows at the city under his feet.

For the first time, he realized that public opinion had such great power.

It seems to penetrate into your life.

"No, that's a good start."

Lex disagreed. He took a bottle of whisky from the wine cabinet.

First he poured himself a cup and then handed Clark a cup.

The latter waved his hand and refused, on the grounds that he was not old enough to drink legally.

I have to say, this answer has a superhuman style.

Lex shook his head and laughed. In his opinion, Clark had such a powerful power, but he obeyed the rules extremely.

This is really a puzzling thing.

If you change to yourself

It may be like the idiom Solitaire, taking the first step to do whatever you want, and then doing whatever you want, all the time.

Lex's eyes showed a trace of envy. He looked at Clark and whispered, "announcing his identity will inevitably bring some trouble to his family, which is inevitable."

"But what we need to pay attention to is that this is not the important thing. The key lies in the government's attitude."

Clark held his chest in his hands. He had just finished his talks with the president at the white house two days ago and shook hands openly.

The photo was quoted by the planet daily and published in the front page of the day.

In addition to going to the White House and participating in such boring political activities.

A general in the Pentagon also called Superman many times.

According to his big cousin, Clark didn't obey.

While showing a friendly attitude, don't forget to show your fists and muscles to ensure that someone will listen to you.

"The godfather is already talking. His initial intention is that Superman does not belong to the state property, but... The debut idol of water company."

Lex said the latter sentence with a strange expression.

When he heard Luke's idea, his first feeling was that he had heard wrong.

"Will the military agree? I think general Ryan's position is very firm. He hopes I can become an American weapon."

Clark frowned as if worried about it.

"What do you think?"

Lex asked with a smile.

"Because I was born in the United States, they can't let me become a thug, a violent, and do things that I don't want and violate morality and conscience."

Clark was filled with a sense of justice and shook his head decisively.

"Oh, I guessed. But I think you should worry about the negotiations on the godfather's side. How can the federal government hand over Superman's ownership to a private enterprise? It's wishful thinking."

Lex narrowed his eyes, although his intuition told him that Luke had a plan.

But after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of how the water company should convince the Pentagon and the White House.

They have too few chips in their hands.

I have no right to sit at the same table with the person at the top of the pyramid of state power.

The turnaround of all this happened two weeks later.

North American joint air defense command.

The strong black general strode into the command center.

Just now he received an emergency message. A man-made satellite in near lunar orbit took an unusual picture.

"Doctor, tell me what you found? A comet or an asteroid?"

The black general looked dignified and stood in front of the console in the command center.

He did not understand what kind of amazing discovery would make the chief researcher responsible for monitoring outer space wake himself up in the middle of the night.

Is it aliens again?

The black general named "Swanwick" thought jokingly.

Recently, the Pentagon has been busy discussing the existence of Superman.

Aliens, superheroes, farm boys in Kansas... The red cloak has too many labels on it.

"Comets don't make orbit corrections, general," the doctor shook his head and hesitated. "I hope you can see this before some amateurs find it."

General Swanwick narrowed his eyes and had a bad feeling.

The chief researcher of the North American joint air defense command directly called up the pictures taken by the satellite.

Dark outer space, there is a fuzzy outline.

Judging from the shape, it should be some kind of space flight tool.

"It seems that the spacecraft has entered the state of lunar orbit synchronization. It is unclear why."

When the chief researcher first found out, he realized that this important news should be reported to the Pentagon immediately.

A spaceship stays in the earth's lunar orbit, which is likely to be a visit to the earth by alien life.

Or a signal of war?

"Did you try to talk to the ship?"

General swanovic restrained his shock. Once the news was disclosed, it would inevitably lead to turbulence and unrest in the world.

Although it is said that as early as the beginning of the space race during the cold war, various countries continued to launch unmanned satellites into outer space, trying to find the same life in the vast dark universe.

But when these unknown creatures really appeared in front of the public, people became afraid and panicked again.

Does unknown life from outside the earth come with goodwill?

Can human beings on earth live in peace with them?

These are questions worth pondering.

"They haven't responded yet."

The doctor replied reluctantly.

General Swanwick had a dignified expression.

He needs to dial the encrypted channel of the White House as soon as possible.

Tell the White House in Washington and the Pentagon about this amazing news that can be called a heavy bomb.

At least before amateur astronomers find out, the federal government has to come up with a reasonable statement and discuss how to deal with the spacecraft in lunar orbit.

"I have a bad feeling."

General Swanwick sighed.

As a professional soldier, if there are unknown creatures in that ship, he doesn't think those guys come with friendship and goodwill.

In particular, after Superman announced his identity, the world knows that there is an alien on earth.

Now, another spaceship.

Will there be some connection between the two?

With this in mind, general Swanwick's heart became more and more heavy.

……

……

The White House.

Conference Room.

The top of the Pentagon gathered.

They all received the shocking news that an unidentified spacecraft had appeared in near moon orbit.

Even if the other party has no action, there is no response.

But the unknown is always frightening.

"In fact, just two weeks ago, a small earthquake occurred at my military base in the Arctic glacier."

General Ryan, with gray hair, said in a deep voice.

"Someone took a video of a huge spaceship disappearing into the night sky and put it on the Internet, which caused great repercussions."

The president, who hurried into the conference room, rubbed his frown, raised his voice and asked, "why hasn't anyone talked about it?"

"The report was already on the desk of the White House, but at that time, Mr. President, you were busy taking photos with Superman and accepting TV interviews. You may have forgotten about it."

General Ryan replied with a straight face.

The Frank words made the atmosphere in the conference room awkward all of a sudden.

"Cough, go on."

The president cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.

With a new term approaching, he did spend too much energy for re-election and general election, ignoring other issues.

"According to the research data of the military base, the spaceship hidden under the glacier has a long history of at least 18000 years according to the isotopic analysis of the surrounding ice holes."

General Ryan took a deep breath, calmed his heart and continued: "at that time, mankind had not become the only master of the planet."

18000 years?

The president and his staff were silent.

Long before mankind gave birth to today's brilliant civilization, other life visited the earth?

Is there any connection between the Arctic Glacier spacecraft and the spacecraft in near lunar orbit?

Various problems have arisen.

"Where's superman? He's also an alien..."

The president suddenly remembered the red cloak.

"Superman is in Kansas. I'm afraid he can't catch up for a while and a half."

Replied general Swanwick, who was responsible for monitoring Superman's whereabouts by satellite.

"Walter seems to have held an event to return home."

When the president heard about the water company, he turned black and showed some gloom. He didn't like the young rich man who claimed to make Superman an idol.

A powerful alien should be under the control of the federal government.

Not to someone or a private enterprise.

Of course, to sum up, or to put it bluntly, the president wants Superman to be a tool in his hand.

"Can you find a way to communicate with that ship?"

The president asked softly, looking at the photos sent back by satellite on the table.

"We tried, but we didn't get any response."

The manager of the North American Joint Air Defense Command shook his head.

"The ship was just floating in outer space. More than ten minutes ago, we used various means to send messages. Unfortunately, it was ineffective. All messages were like a stone sinking into the sea."

"Can you knock it down?"

The president has lost patience and has considered using force to solve the problem.

"This is the worst plan. It's best to implement it after establishing communication channels and confirming that the other party is hostile."

General Ryan mused.

No one is willing to use force until it is determined whether there is unknown life on the ship.

Who knows if such a move will trigger a so-called "star war".

"What on earth can we do? Wait for the ship to fall down, or let those damn aliens respond?"

The president was obviously angry and asked, patting the table hard.

"This country has the largest intelligence agency in the world, and 16 different departments supervise everything in this land. The purpose is to prevent any terrorist attack from happening again! But right next to us, there is an alien who can fly and lift tens or hundreds of tons of weights with his bare hands and smash a tank with one blow!"

"And now, another spaceship is parked at our door! But you will only tell me that this can't, that can't, you can only wait!"

The president's angry voice echoed in the conference room.

Everyone present, from the generals of the Pentagon to the staff of the White House and the top of the intelligence agency, kept silent.

"I have something urgent..."

While the president was furious, an aide waiting outside suddenly rushed into the conference room.

There was a look of panic on his face, as if something terrible had happened.

"Is the end of the world coming, Johnson?!"

The president looked gloomy. Without permission, his staff broke into the conference room with the highest confidentiality level.

Without a good reason, I'm afraid the other party's political career will come to an end.

"I'm afraid so, Mr. President."

The young aide said seriously.

——Five minutes ago, a video that frightened countless people swept the world.

Whether it's the United States or other countries.

Television and radio have failed one after another.

The flickering snowflakes are twisted into blurred images, and the electronic signals covering the whole world translate the declaration of threat to the world into different languages and send it to every corner of the planet.

"I'm general Zod, from a distant planet. I arrived here through the vast sea of stars because you hid a fellow of mine. Now I ask you to hand him over. For some reason, he concealed his existence and tried to integrate into your society. He looks similar to you, but he's not one of you. If anyone knows him News, then the fate of your planet is in your hands... Carl Al, do you hear me? You have 24 hours to consider, or choose to let the whole world bear the consequences! "

People looked up at the sky.

Whether in a remote and uninhabited remote town or a bustling metropolis.

Everyone can see a giant spaceship circling in orbit like a satellite.

That threat video broadcast all over the world is more shocking than superman's announcement of his identity.

The news spread instantly and spread, setting off an uncontrollable wave of public opinion all over the world.

No one knows how the alien life claiming to be "general Zod" forcibly occupied all bands of signals, translated them into different languages and announced to the world.

Now the president, who is far away in the White House, finally doesn't need to worry about how to hide the news from the people.
