The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 480 They can only see what I let them see
While Yang Le was communicating with Frank, the unrest in other blocks of New York did not stop and wait for Yang Le to obtain information as in the game. The riots were still going on.

At present, Yang Le and Gwen have dealt with two giants in total, namely Frank who turned back into a human, and the unknown giant who was dismembered by Yang Le.

One can only sigh that Frank was lucky. Gwen brought the news of the giants' rampant disaster, which made Yang Le want to ask. Otherwise, his solution would probably be the same as the giant at the beginning.

According to the information provided by Frank, there were 12 experimental subjects in the same batch as him. If we only count these 12 people, Yang Le has only solved one-sixth of them, not to mention that the total number of giants is more than 12.

"42 people."

A neatly dressed soldier was standing in a makeshift command post made of a military tent. In front of him was a two-meter-long table projecting a holographic image. Several soldiers armed with live ammunition stood around the table. General Ross, who was sitting in the deepest seat, also had a serious expression on his face.

"According to statistics from the laboratory, a total of 42 test subjects escaped from the laboratory."

"How many experimental subjects are there in New York City now?" asked an officer standing on the left side of the table.

"42." The soldier glanced at the datapad in his hand. "According to data recovered by soldiers, superheroes, and aerial drones, all 42 test subjects are currently gathered in New York."

As the soldier spoke, the holographic projection on the table also changed, and several slowly flashing red dots appeared on the blue city model.

"All in New York?" General Ross glanced down at the city model on the table. "Should I say it's lucky or unlucky?"

No one in the room responded. Not only were these people Ross's confidants, they also knew more or less about some of Ross's shady things that were done in secret, otherwise they would not be standing in this tent.

They knew what Ross meant by fortunately and unfortunately. Fortunately, all these troubles were now concentrated in New York, which saved them a lot of trouble in cleaning up.

Unfortunately, the commotion this time was too big. The number of people who died in New York because of this incident may be no less than tens of thousands. It is the biggest disaster since the founding of the United States, even more horrific than the June 616 incident caused by the mutant Xavier.

Moreover, this incident will have a certain degree of impact on the United States' position in the world. Coupled with the reconstruction of New York at that time, the disadvantages are simply innumerable. Compared with this, the luck mentioned above is simply not worth mentioning.

"All in all, it's a good thing." General Ross took the pipe out of his mouth. As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

"Don't forget who we are." Ross tapped the medal on his chest with his pipe. "If this matter is handled well, my vote count will increase significantly. How can those office workers and real estate developers compete with me?"

"But General." Glenn hesitated to speak, and only spoke at Ross's instruction.

"But General, this time the matter is..."

There is no need to continue. None of the people present were fools. They all understood Glenn's meaning. This giant riot was caused by their military. It was good enough that they were not liquidated. Isn't it a bit unrealistic to hope for the presidency at this time?
In fact, they all thought so at the beginning, but no one actually said it out loud. He is worthy of being the second-in-command trained by General Ross. He really speaks his mind.

"You've thought it through, Glenn." General Ross tapped his pipe against the table in front of him a few times, knocking out the remaining slag. "However, your perspective is still too narrow. While this incident was indeed caused by our negligence, who knows?"

General Ross frowned, threw away the expensive pipe in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, the officer next to him quickly took out a lighter and lit it for Ross.

General Ross took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and exhaled before continuing.

"What the public sees and hears is determined by us. The only thing you should be thinking about now is how to eliminate those things. As long as we can completely silence them, then everything will be fine."

As General Ross explained, the cigarette in his hand continued to burn. Eventually, the long ash could no longer bear the weight and fell from the cigarette, turning into countless tiny dust particles in the air, mixed with sparks and falling towards the holographic projection model of New York City on the table.

...

Waving her hands to disperse the smoke and sparks in front of her, Katie felt that today was terrible. She thought the weather was good today and wanted to go shopping during the holiday, but she didn't expect to meet an ordinary person who suddenly turned into a giant and started destroying things everywhere.

Unfortunately, before the giant transformed, Katie was only five meters away from him. Seeing that the man was acting nervously, Katie was about to move away from him when he suddenly changed.

Even more unfortunate was that in a panic, Katie ran directly into a roadside clothing store. After the giant transformed, he smashed things everywhere and threw a car into the clothing store where she was hiding.

The manager of the clothing store was hit by a car. Although he escaped, he was crushed under the rubble by the fallen roof and other objects.

Fortunately, although she was buried under the rubble, she was not injured at all. The reason she made this judgment was that she did not feel any pain anywhere on her body.

Katie was now curled up on the ground, not daring to move. She was afraid that some small movements of hers would cause the ruins, which were not pressed down because of their wonderful balance, to become unbalanced, and then crush her into a meat paste.

'Please, someone come and save me!' Katie prayed desperately in her heart. She prayed to all the gods she knew, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She couldn't see what was happening outside from under the ruins. What if the giant didn't leave?
Katie has maintained this posture for a long time. She doesn't know the exact time, but Katie feels it has been at least an hour or even longer. If she continues like this, she will most likely be trapped and killed under the rubble. She must find a way to save herself.

"Oh, right, Morse code!" Katie suddenly remembered what she had seen on TV. Many characters in the show were saved by sending distress signals in Morse code. With the noise outside so loud, even if the giant was still there, it would be impossible for him to notice the small noise he made.

On the contrary, if human rescuers arrived, they would definitely notice her. Katie felt like she was a genius.

"I remember SOS is three short, three long, and three short." Betty recalled the plot of the TV series and stretched out a finger to tap the ground in front of her face.

Then she saw her fingers sinking into the ground.
