Chapter 1823 Mutant Rebellion(1/2)
It has been about a week since Alvin and the others returned from Russia...
The so-called "bad news" is something that is bound to happen to Alvin.
In the southern states of the United States, including several Midwestern states, there have been incidents of mutants attacking ordinary people one after another.
It started with a few mutants in Texas occupying a department store...
In the name of opposing discrimination, they killed more than 90 people in the mall, and then were beaten into a hornet's nest by the angry Texas Rangers.
Then came the southern states of the United States, where large-scale riots began to break out like an uprising, and they were accompanied by a large number of mutant attacks.
Some of those attacks are true or false...
But these are not important. How can those relatively conservative states in the United States, which have not completely solved racial discrimination, solve the problem of mutants?
In recent days, the number of injuries and deaths of ordinary people has skyrocketed, and confrontation has slowly begun to form.
Hundreds of thousands of mutants were organized together. They confronted the military and protested. Some mutants were even elected and wanted to join the Congress as a member.
The path taken by these people is actually not wrong. There are too many civil rights activists in the United States who have become members of the "rights" class.
And they have indeed fought for reasonable rights and interests for their class...
However, these mutants have ignored one point. The revolution they started with the blood of ordinary people will inevitably fail to gain the sympathy of ordinary people in the end.
All the hype you say is useless. Ordinary people begin to think that mutants are a threat.
As South Carolina quickly passed the discriminatory Mutant Residence Act, mutants must declare their identity and can only start activities in specified areas...
The entire confrontation began to escalate rapidly!
Alvin's guess that they were on the airship was actually correct...
The terrifying thing about the "Hive" is not its own power, but its ability to control mutants and allow them to disrupt the entire society.
The conflict started in Texas, and it has only lasted a week...
But more than 2,000 people have died in the United States, and the number of mutants and ordinary people is close to 1:10.
Every time a mutant dies, other mutants will take revenge...
This is close to the level of terrorism!
Moreover, this kind of mutant terrorism is spreading rapidly, and the same situation has also appeared in Europe. Human nature's rejection of aliens has begun to make people themselves taste the bitter consequences.
The "Hive" is certainly powerful, but it definitely cannot dominate so many mutants.
Those mutants whose lives have taken a huge turn and have completely fallen into a trough due to strange changes in their bodies have found a channel to vent...
Then things started to get worse!
When most of the United States began to be in chaos, this quiet "corner" of New York naturally began to attract attention.
As a group of people calling themselves the "Mutant People's Rights Organization" entered New York, things began to change.
They were shut out of Hell’s Kitchen…
Hell's Kitchen gangsters and the police work together for the first time to seal off Hell's Kitchen.
Under the protection of John Wigger and under the gaze of television cameras, "Scribe" Cassel had a conversation with those from the so-called "Mutant People's Rights Organization" and showed everyone the status of the New York Mutant Union.
position.
"We protect the legitimate rights and interests of our own people...
As long as you register with the Mutant Union, you can enjoy the union's legal assistance.
Within the state of New York, New Jersey and Michigan, all mutants enjoy the same rights as ordinary people.
In these places you are just an ordinary person and have nothing to do with so-called civil rights.
If you feel you have been discriminated against in other states, you can also come to the Mutant Union to register for help.
The Mutant Guild will arrange lawyers to provide you with justice within the framework of the law..."
The mutant representatives on the opposite side were obviously very dissatisfied. Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried to show off their words, they could not shake the mind of Mr. Cassel, the S-class mutant.
Until an impulsive mutant wanted to attack Cassel and his knees were smashed by John Wigger...
Those people left Hell's Kitchen and began to put pressure on Director George, the real sponsor of the New York Mutant Act.
Director George, who was facing a formidable enemy, had no choice but to call for help, but how could Alvin pay attention to him?
When the Mutant Guild was established, it was limited to New York State...
Later, the little brother next door, New Jersey, passed the same mutant bill in order to gain support, and designated the New York Mutant Union as the only legal organization.
Later, because of the "Steel Digital", the entire city of Detroit regarded Alvin as its savior.
Then the state of Michigan also passed the Mutant Act under the pressure of votes from the Detroit metropolitan area.
However, Detroit has done a more thorough job than New Jersey. They even vacated an office building for the Mutant Union, and even the decoration was the responsibility of the city government.
In this city, which Alvin has never been to, a statue of him will be completed by the end of this year.
Alvin actually doesn't have much sense of the spread of his influence.
At first, he just thought it was a good thing, and it did allow many mutants to live a normal life.
But now it seems that things are not what he thought, and mutants are not the kind of people who are easily satisfied.
The mutant union has become a roadblock for some people...
Maybe even "Hive" didn't expect that a little action of its own would have such a big impact.
Now, as long as they stand aside and watch the fun, they can easily take over the mutants after they have integrated their power.
Regarding what has happened and what will happen in the future, Alvin really feels that there is nothing he can do.
And now at such a critical moment of the exam, how could Alvin go to meet those so-called mutant people's rights leaders?
If you don't go to the March on Washington and come here to bring down the Mutant Union, how can Alvin let them get their wish?
If Alvin does this, it will definitely cause a separation between the Mutant Union and the mutants in other states...
But who cares?
Alvin just wants the children in the school to complete the most important exam in life in a comfortable environment.
Among other things, how important is your own student exams?
But what Alvin didn't expect was that someone cared more about the reputation of the Mutant Guild, or his reputation, than he did.
…………
In the Little Italy section of Manhattan, downstairs of the New York Police Department headquarters, thousands of mutants from out of state gathered there.
Organized by dozens of mutant leaders, these strange mutants blocked the entrance and exit of the police headquarters and began a protest march.
Duke led the emergency team to protect the perimeter and monitor the mutants to prevent them from messing around.
What these mutants have done in the past week is not very honorable. They have done nothing less than smash, smash, loot and burn.
Of course, part of it is that they have experienced it on behalf of others...
After all, there are a lot of bastards in America, and there are even more people who do bad things in the name of mutants.
New York also has no shortage of people like this...
But this time things are a little different!
When the police station remained silent for more than an hour, the mutants began to feel impatient.
There's no way around hitting a wall in Hell's Kitchen.
After all, the gangsters there really know how to shoot, but it's different here...
Duke listened to the alarm from his companions in the communicator. He turned on the safety of his gun and kept driving away the nearby spectators, as well as the media who were worried about the chaos in the world.
As the mutants became restless, the situation began to become more and more tense...
Because there are several mutants with special abilities in his team, Duke has a deep understanding of how terrifying these mutants' abilities are.
They will still die if shot, but with so many mutants gathered together, if a riot breaks out.
Several nearby neighborhoods, and even the entire midtown Manhattan, could be thrown into chaos.
Until Duke felt that the mutant's patience had reached its breaking point, Chief George walked out of the police station surrounded by several civilian police officers.
Seeing Director George completely exposing himself outside the gate, Duke pressed the communicator in horror and shouted loudly: "Group 2, up, up, up, protect Director George.
Snipers are on standby to target previously marked suspected dangerous persons.
A group of shock bombs are exchanged, ready to fire at any time.
FUCK, this is the worst situation I have ever seen in my life..."
Duke, who has long been accustomed to being tough, has no experience in dealing with similar matters.
Shooting those protesting mutants is simply unrealistic...
The subsequent conflicts triggered by the intensification of conflicts will not only nail Duke to the pillar of shame, but will also plunge everyone on both sides into the abyss of hatred.
But at this time Duke no longer has time to think so much...
To be continued...
