The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 312: Xiong En’s New Proposal

Uncontrolled Superhuman

In a short period of time, a large amount of similar news appeared in the United States.

It contains videos of the man-eating monsters in Key West, as well as a large amount of "insider" revelations.

What was the revelation? The nuclear leak of the USS Lincoln caused a large number of soldiers to be exposed to nuclear radiation and mutate.

The military has a laboratory that studies these mutated super soldiers.

Why is this base in Key West? Because it is an island, it is easy to control and there is no worry about leaks.

In addition to being extremely powerful, these mutated soldiers will also become extremely bloodthirsty. Anyone bitten by them will be infected with nuclear radiation and will gradually become fond of attacking people.

The reason these guys ran out was that something went wrong inside the base, causing the experimental subjects to escape.

Moreover, these experimental subjects not only ran into the city of Key West, but a large number of them escaped and were not caught, and ran along the island chain highway to Florida.

Miami is the first one to be threatened, not only Miami, but also Mexico.

Moreover, Mexico borders the United States, so these people will regain consciousness after eating humans again and may run back to America.

As an argument, the biggest evidence is that Kievsk was blocked by the military.

Moreover, the identities of those monsters that were photographed were also revealed, and their families even came forward and produced the death certificates of their husbands, children, and brothers.

When Bolick saw these things, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He even doubted whether this was some kind of tacit understanding. Otherwise, this thing was too messy, right? The core issue was not touched at all.

And how to deal with this matter now?
This damn conspiracy theory perfectly addresses the negative consequences of soldiers shooting people.

Although everyone doesn't care about it now, that's because there are other things they care more about ahead.

Once the limelight has passed, this matter will surely be dragged out and criticized, and by then many people will be held responsible.

Also, nuclear radiation affects mutations and can perfectly cover up the damn human experiments.

After all, human experiments and studying people infected by nuclear radiation are two different things. Not to mention, this conspiracy theory deliberately describes these experimental subjects as infected man-eating creatures.

Although it sounds like there is no scientific basis for this, and Berrick knows that only those who died and were not dealt with in time would become like this. Conspiracy theories never need any "scientific" basis.

The key to conspiracy theories is that if you can't disprove it, then it's true. If you can disprove it, then it's a deliberate cover-up.

It can be said that although this conspiracy theory has led countless people to boycott the military and countless people to take to the streets to condemn the government and the military, it has not touched upon the core issue and has even helped cover up some of it.

Of course, someone must be held accountable for this matter and must pay compensation and apologize.

For example, now the White House has announced that it will send people to Key West to investigate the matter.

So as long as the military plays dead well enough, the matter will be over. It's not like they don't have experience in this area.

No, it should be that we have rich experience in this area.

At worst, we can just sacrifice some senior military officers.

But this is all a matter of public opinion. Internally, Berlick still wants to know why things have turned out this way.

The TV station that initially reported this incident was also found, and the reason why this TV station reported this incident was also found out.

That was instructed by two members of Congress.

Bolick looked through their information and was sure that these two people were definitely not sent from outside. He could also confirm that these two people were indeed funded by someone.

As for who funded it?

Bolick looked at the old man in front of him and said, "It is obvious, gentlemen, that someone hopes to make a fortune from this incident."

"According to our preliminary investigation, there are some pharmaceutical giants and insurance companies involved. The prices of their corresponding drugs and stocks have skyrocketed in the past two days!"

The five old men had gloomy faces the whole time and didn't say a word.

Bolick could only continue, "Besides that, the person behind the original TV report is most likely the NRA."

The five old men's faces became even darker.

Bolick said helplessly: "Now, we can confirm that the other party is indeed one of our own people. At least the way they handled this matter was completely for their own benefit."

"But we don't even know who they are now!"

Bolick thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, they have always been behind the scenes, which makes them powerless in front of the stage?"

An old man frowned: "What do you mean?"

"They supported a Dark Gold Pharmaceutical, didn't they?" Bolick said, "We always thought that this was just a means for them to put out there, but is it possible that this is also a means for them to cash in? The reason we can't find them is because they are not a big family, but an inconspicuous guy who has mastered some technology?"

"They only had some technology, but they were unable to realize it due to various problems. After discovering our business, they knew their business was actually feasible, so they began to cultivate their own front-stage forces."

"The Bazel family is just the first step. If we fail, they will be our successors. Because we have paved the way for them, right?"

An old man hesitated for a moment before speaking: "You mean, we thought too highly of them before?"

"They may really have some power, just like those impoverished nobles in Europe, who have nothing but their bloodline. They are not some hidden mysterious organization. They are just some rotten things that want to be reborn. Why did they take our data? Because they don't have the ability to build a base like ours, nor do they have our energy to obtain so many samples and get this information."

An old man's eyes lit up slightly: "It's possible."

"So, Berlik, you want us to do something to them?"

"I still think the same thing." Bolick said, "Maybe we really should give them a warning. Whether they are a hidden mysterious organization or just guys trying to survive, it's always a good idea to give them a warning."

"We will consider this."

Bolick said, "I know what you all have to consider, but in fact, we only need to look at one thing to make a decision."

"what?"

"Follow-up request." Bolick said: "If they need to continue to make a profit from this, we can determine their nature, and our previous concerns will disappear."

An old man asked, "Let's not talk about this for now. We have to give an answer. Where are the experimental subjects? How many people have been captured?"

"Six," Bolick said helplessly. "At least, after this conspiracy theory came out, the Key West citizens who tried to stop us no longer stopped us. We captured two people, and at the same time, we captured four more along the coastline of the island chain highway."

"We also lost a lot of people, especially on the island chain road. We found two teams of about 15 people each. They chose to swim in the sea and try to get to Miami. These people moved along the coastline with simple equipment during the day and went ashore to rest at night. Ten of them have been killed, four have been captured, and more than a dozen have hidden in the jungle on the island. If we rush in, we may face greater losses."

"So, for the time being we've just cordoned off that island and are looking for a solution."

The old man frowned: "Does that mean at least half of the people in Base 6 are still missing?"

"Yes, but according to the people we captured, the leader is called Luke, a former navy captain, and Connor is in Luke's hands."

"And their rebellion was started by Luke. They first learned through the broadcast in the room that a large number of collars did not actually contain explosives. Then some brave guys took off the collars, and after finding out that nothing was wrong, they fought with the guards outside."

Bolick paused here and continued, "Connor may be innocent, because according to these people, Connor once ordered the soldiers inside to eliminate all the experimental subjects, but the people inside felt that this matter was too big and they had to have a written order from Connor. This was said by the base guard who was killed by them at the time."

The old man just asked: "Why didn't Connor die?"

"Because Luke said he must know about other bases, and these people need medicine, so Connor was saved."

"Berrick." The old man said quietly, "As a supervisor, you know Connor's style. The fact that he didn't die is the biggest surprise. How do you explain those soldiers? Could they have killed him?"

Bolick pursed his lips before saying, "They said that when they came out of the base, all the soldiers were dead. Connor said that those soldiers died by killing each other. They inhaled mental poison mist or something."

"That's the problem, isn't it? How could our soldiers kill each other? If there really is a mental poison mist, who is most likely to release it? Who has the conditions to release it?"

Well, now Berlik understood.

This group of people are determined to put the blame on Connor for this matter.

It is intriguing to find out what the problem is with the collar, hundreds of millions of orders.
Berlik even doubted how much of the funds applied for base research were the same as those collars.

Bolick, who understood the pros and cons, could only say, "At least now it's proven that Connor is still alive. Maybe everything will become clear after we catch him. As for the sixty people, according to their confessions, they are looking for transportation and are preparing to disguise themselves as civilians and leave through the island chain highway."

"We haven't found these people yet, but they are good at disguise, so we have increased the monitoring process of the island chain road and banned some people from leaving there. We will probably find them soon. Those who were caught also chose to leave using the method they thought was reliable because they thought that method was unreliable."

"Then do your job, Berrick." "Yes."

Bolick left here, and there was no anger in his eyes, but Connor was probably in trouble.

Bolick believed that as long as they found those people, Connor would be the first to die in the chaos between the two sides.

But Bolick didn't want that guy to die. He really wanted to know what happened in the base.

He thought about explaining this to the guys in the Senate, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to. He didn't want to become the next Major Connor.

And at this time.
Xiong En is meeting with someone.

The two men clinked their glasses, and the middle-aged white man opposite looked at Xiong En with a smile: "The congressman is ready, right?"

Xiong En smiled cheerfully: "Of course, Director, this is not a big deal for me."

The person on the other side nodded slightly: "This is really great. The chairman is very satisfied with your idea. I have to say that you are really a talented Councillor Xiong En. However, you should understand that this matter is quite stressful."

Xiong En said nonchalantly, "Is the pressure great? Is it greater than asking the government to pay for free injections for drug addicts? Please believe me. I have experienced all kinds of criticism, but I succeeded in the end. At that time, I was still alone, but now, I have California behind me."

"Our parliament should have more young blood." The director laughed even more happily: "Only you will do such meaningful things. Those old guys are always looking back and forth, always afraid of this and that, including our president. Only young people have the drive to do good for this country. Those old guys only care about themselves."

Xiong En waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Director, that's because they have different considerations. They may not be looking ahead or behind, but they just think that it will affect their votes, right? It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I don't lack money now, and I'm still young. Even if I fail this time, I still have decades of opportunities to make a comeback, but those old guys don't."

"I like your enthusiasm, Xiong En." The director raised his glass and said, "Let's have another drink. However, after this incident, one party may dislike you a little. After all, you are openly opposing their ideas."

Xiong En didn't care: "But someone likes me, right?"

"Hahahaha, you see things very clearly, Councillor Xiong En. Don't worry, the chairman will definitely be willing to have a good chat with you after this incident."

Xiong En nodded slightly: "It's my honor."

The next day, it was revealed that Congressman Xiong En, who changed California, had submitted another highly controversial bill.

The "Citizen Self-Protection Bill" was submitted to Parliament by Xiong En.

This thing was exposed almost as soon as Xiong En submitted it.

Moreover, this bill is a blatant provocation to the Two-Party Safe Communities Act.

The "Two-Way Safe Communities Act" is known as the strictest gun control bill in American history. It was enacted after the elected left came to power.

The most prominent feature is to strengthen the background check of gun buyers and criminalize the purchase of guns on behalf of others, which was quite ambiguous before. Once those illegal gun owners investigate where the guns came from, they will find various ways to buy guns on behalf of others.

Second, it allows families and police to confiscate guns from dangerous people, and even provides special funding to support them. What are they supporting? Not the bonus for these people to confiscate their guns, but to support other intervention programs, such as psychological guidance for some dangerous people who want to buy guns, and nearly 800 million US dollars have been allocated.

The third is to close the "boyfriend loophole", which is roughly the loophole that allowed some people convicted of domestic violence to still own guns. Yes, these people were able to own guns before.

This time, Xiong En submitted the "Citizen Self-Protection Act" which completely negated the "Community Safety Act". The so-called incomplete opposition is no complete opposition. Xiong En retorted with common human rights issues. It also supports civilian version weapons, which should have a certain degree of fully automatic function.

Most importantly, when faced with reporters' questions, Xiong En's answers were powerful and resounding.

"Congressman Xiong En, have you ever considered the dangers of the proliferation of guns?"

"Danger?" Xiong En replied; "Excuse me, did you see what happened in Key West? Did you see those monsters? Did you see how they looked when they were shot? Even after being shot in the head, those monsters could still move and attack our citizens."

"If they had a fully automatic weapon in their hands, like those soldiers did, would they have died?"

"If those who were attacked had weapons in their hands, at least they wouldn't have lost so many people, right?"

"I know that it happened in Florida, which is far away from California. But according to the information obtained by LAPD, there are at least hundreds of such experimenters in that laboratory! Their radiation can infect other people. Now the military says it is under control, but who knows the truth?"

"In my opinion, unless the military pulls all those people out and allows us to check one by one to ensure that they are really under control, otherwise, even if you live on the 15th floor, a man-eating superman may crawl into your home!"

"Although I am young, I know what these politicians will say. Do you remember how they announced it now?"

"They said nothing happened and they had it under control. Do you believe that? I don't believe it. I believe that this is just the first stage. I know what they are going to say next."

"If there are any more isolated reports of sightings, they will say, 'Maybe there is something going on, but we shouldn't do anything about it.'"

"If what happened in Key West happened in another city, I'm sure they would say to the families of the victims, 'Maybe we should do something, but there's nothing we can do right now.'"

"And if that damn radiation sickness ever breaks out, I guarantee you they'll say, 'Maybe we could have done something, but now it's too late!'"

Xiong En looked at the camera and said, "I believe everyone is familiar with these damn four-stage speeches! They have always done it this way! But I don't agree with it. I think we should do something from the beginning!"

"I don't know what the military and the government did here. I'm just a California congressman, but this shit happened in Florida. I just want our citizens to have more ways to protect themselves!"

"I hope that when this disaster that may be out of control comes, our people will be heroes who protect themselves and their families, instead of just watching themselves and their families become food for monsters!"

"The ability to protect oneself, one's family, and one's property is a right that every citizen should have! It should not be restricted by some damn laws!"

"Those bills are not protecting them, they are murdering them! It's absolutely murder under the current circumstances!"

Xiong En's speech in front of the camera drew applause from many people who were blocking the parliament hall.

In the parliament hall, the guy who used to have a good relationship with Xiong En now had an ugly look on his face.

Gun control has always been one of the standard concepts of their party. Xiong En's original expansion of the planting bill and the free bill made them firmly believe that this guy must be one of their own.

Although there are some problems with his brain, at least our interests are the same.

But now?
This bastard is actually digging up his own roots!
Is this guy crazy or a traitor?

What should I do? This thing has not yet entered the voting stage. Should I support him or oppose him?
At the beginning, this little bastard had no power behind him, and those guys who opposed him had to go to the Border Management Bureau to pick up their families.

What about this time?

No one would believe you if you said this guy doesn’t have the support of NRA!

Those bastards must be crazy about selling guns!
This Xiong En has no political tacit understanding at all! Political understanding is bullshit in front of him.

Although people don't take the matter of not bringing disaster to family members seriously, at most they will investigate criminal records. But this bastard really made direct death threats.

Anyone who doesn't have some Mexican connections is now scared.

With the support of the NRA, or in other words, is this the NRA's suggestion? It is hard to say whether the family will appear in Mexico or he will appear in Mexico himself.

Many people have already started to have doubts in their hearts. Anyway, there will definitely be people who object, right?
At this time, Xiong En returned home in high spirits. Jia Yu pouted at Kofi and said, "He's back, aren't you going to say a few words?"

Kofi looked nonchalant: "What am I saying? I'm very happy."

"Happy?"

"Yeah, this guy at least really learned to stand in line. Although all the connections I helped him establish were destroyed by this guy's bill, it doesn't affect my salary."

Xiong En sat down beside him carelessly: "Coffee, if you had done this earlier, we would have been able to cooperate well! But I still like the way you break down your defense. Can't I submit another gun ban bill?"

Kofi smiled and said, "If you want to experience being assassinated by both factions, that's totally fine, Xiong En. I see you like excitement."

"What's wrong with him?" Xiong En looked at Jia Yu in confusion: "Why does he look a little different from him?"

"Oh, that's easy." Jia Yu said calmly, "Just playing badly."

"Am I doing something wrong?"

"That's right." Jia Yu said; "Not only that, you have to go out with Kofi now to repair the relationships you have destroyed."

"what?"

Kofi stood up and said, "You see things clearly, Jia. What I find most difficult to accept is that you, an international student, can see things more clearly than my boss who is a senator. Damn it, what's wrong with America! He can even become a senator!"

"Although I don't quite understand it." Xiong En said puzzledly, "But at least I know that they are almost opposites on the issue of banning guns or not."

Jia Yu closed the book in his hand and looked at Xiong En who said in the calmest tone: "The opinions are opposite, but the people are not. What you need to do is very simple. Make more friends. Repairing relationships is too easy in America."

"Let's go, Master Xiong En." Coffey pulled Xiong En up: "We should go to work."

Xiong En was still confused: "Isn't it over? What are you doing?"

Jia Yu said calmly, "Go spend some money and scatter some coins."
