American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Chapter 157: Media Frenzy and Showdown [300010000]

The alien invasion event has become the new darling of the media.

People saw extraterrestrial civilization for the first time and experienced extraterrestrial invasion for the first time. That magnificent beam of light and the expanding wormhole were edited into videos and pictures, and repeatedly published and played on major newspapers, websites, and even street screens.

Conceal it?

Unless a forgetting spell is cast on the whole world, no one can suppress such big news.

In these days, people's attention and eyes are all on extraterrestrial civilizations.

Where do they come from in the universe?

Why did they invade Earth?

Will they make a comeback?

How did those superheroes solve them? How did they resolve this crisis?

All newspapers involving extraterrestrial civilizations and the Battle of Washington are snapped up, and any information about them on the Internet will attract jealous attention.

Forums related to aliens have exploded with discussion, causing the servers to crash multiple times.

From online to offline, everyone is discussing this information. If the reporters and media owners still don’t understand what a traffic code is, they will have to jump off a building.

So during this period, you will find that the media, newspapers, and TV are all about the Battle of Washington. When the popularity of the Battle of Washington decreases and people get tired of watching it, they will immediately continue with the past and present lives of extraterrestrial civilizations.

True or false?

It doesn't matter.

Big newspapers and big media want face and want to maintain their own style and authenticity, so their eating habits are not too ugly. They just found some experts to do some analysis and popular science. Some even managed to get an alien anatomy diagram from an unknown base, and explained the differences between the bodies of the Chitari and humans according to the book. Although this program was quickly called to a halt, the popularity was real, and the traffic and benefits were also real.

Small newspapers do not have the connections and abilities of big media, but they also have their own unique skills. That is, they can be shameless, sensational, eye-catching, and shocking!

For example, that someone's serial novel about the abusive love between extraterrestrials and humans, etc. There are all kinds of things, dazzling people. The titles are more eye-catching than the other.

But after these information bombardments, people's curiosity and desire for knowledge have not been satisfied, and they are not interested in those news that are based on speculation and wild guesses. What should we do? The major media are tearing their hair out and found that the only way to maintain the heat and squeeze out this wave of traffic is to obtain more information about the extraterrestrial invaders.

So government news departments and other departments have been strongly harassed, making those office workers miserable. Before, many media and reporters harassed them crazily, but at that time, writing casually was traffic, so they could still endure it, but now those media are crazy in order to maintain the heat and traffic! The harassment to them has also been upgraded again and again! From work to family, 24 hours a day, there is no free time. After persisting for a few days, the office workers in these departments raised the white flag and filled their superiors' mailboxes with leave requests.

Refuse?

Resignation letters replaced leave requests.

If these people really have any inside information, then they would risk violating the regulations and explode it to earn a sum, but the key is that these people don't know anything!

Of course, with such high-intensity harassment, bombardment, and networking, some media can always get the information they want, although not much, but compared to their peers who have gained nothing, they are already standing on the winning line. These media that have obtained the so-called exclusive news and absolute inside information have also reasonably gathered and divided the largest piece of cake in this wave of traffic.

Unsurprisingly, most of the media that can obtain these temporarily top-secret information are well-known. It's just that the valuable intelligence they can ultimately dig out is limited. Their informants in the officialdom cannot know everything and sell all this intelligence to the newspaper.

Just when the media, who had been reveling for nearly a month, were unwilling to give up the traffic code, an organization called Tide revealed itself, providing major newspapers with a large amount of valuable and attractive intelligence. Not only about the invaders, but also about Thor of Asgard! Moreover, this organization releases some intelligence every other day and claims to have an ultimate explosive bomb in its hands.

The media's blood is heating up.

The official's head is aching.

After roaring in his office for a minute, Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally had no choice but to enter the field and start dominating the direction of this media frenzy before it got out of control. They selectively released a large number of images and focused on launching a superhero version of traffic stars.

Iron Man, Hulk, Captain Steve, and the current media darling, the popular Thor!

I have to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. still has capable people, and the operation planning and copywriting are very good. Just after entering the field, it strongly diverted away most of the traffic. Then S.H.I.E.L.D.'s negotiation team agents visited the major media newspapers and the figures behind these newspapers one by one. After a series of private transactions, the newspapers promised to give S.H.I.E.L.D. face and report in the direction according to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wishes. The premise is that S.H.I.E.L.D. can come up with the information they need, and it is best to let those superheroes cooperate, take photos, and accept interviews or something.

So under Nick Fury's emotional and reasonable request, Captain America returned to his old profession and became a "model" again. Of course, this time he has been on the battlefield and has real combat achievements to show off.

Iron Man also revealed his face and accepted two interviews after obtaining some information about his father and some special materials from Nick Fury. One of them was with Captain America, and the ratings of this show exploded that day.

The figures behind those newspapers frantically hinted that Nick Fury could add a few more, but Nick Fury ignored these hints. Captain America and Iron Man are already the representative figures he can show off. Who else in the alliance is as suitable as them?

Is it Hawkeye and Natasha, the agents who need to keep their identities secret?

Or the Hulk who smashes, smashes, smashes, and Frank who hates evil like an enemy?

Or Stephen, who became a mage, and Luke Field, who never accepts interviews?

Thor? Yes, he is also a hot topic, but he took his brother Loki back to Asgard. Could it be that he should go to Asgard to pull him over to participate in the interview?

Nick Fury has no intention of spending so much effort to satisfy the insatiable demands of those media. He has a lot of troubles on his hands now. After solving the questions and doubts from above, he also has to deal with the problems caused by this invasion of the real world.

For example, the recovery of the Chitari's corpses and weapons?

There are too many Chitari corpses on the battlefield, so many that they simply don't have time to clear the field and confiscate them all in the first time. And the entire city is within the range of those Chitari's activities. Maybe a Chitari corpse is lying in a remote corner, and then a citizen finds it and takes away the weapon he carries with him.

During this period, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were almost all busy dealing with these follow-up cleanup and cleaning work. There were at least ten incidents caused by the Chitari's weapons every day, including but not limited to robbery, robbing stores, and banks. At its peak, similar things that were monitored occurred hundreds of times in 24 hours!

What's even worse is that the corpses of Chitari soldiers have been offered high prices in the black market of the underground world! Among those who released the purchase information, some were simply black gloves from other countries, as well as partners or spokespersons of some enterprises.

The hidden danger of extraterrestrial viruses from the Chitari.

The official high-level began a major reshuffle to seize power.

After many fragmented and cumbersome affairs, there is now another Tide organization that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nick Fury doesn't know what those hackers who are so bold as to dare to invade the S.H.I.E.L.D. system and have actually broken through multiple layers of defense and obtained some information can do in the future.

The only thing that made him feel comfortable during this period was that Luke did not come to disturb him during this period. He really has no energy and trustworthy manpower to help Luke do anything.

...

Heberon employee area.

Inside Luke's villa.

"What's the matter? You need to know that the construction industry is very hot recently, and our project has gathered most of the high-quality construction companies." Yina Sandra pushed the door in briskly and asked Luke, who was sitting blankly on the sofa.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with you? I knew you would forget the time when you studied! I told you to pay attention to your body! How long have you been staying up all night with that tired face?" Seeing Luke's tired face turning around, Yina's brisk steps stopped suddenly. She quickly stepped forward, leaned closer and carefully looked at Luke's messy hair and bloodshot eyes, and scolded him angrily.

"It has nothing to do with those." Luke sighed.

"Then what does it have to do with?" Yina stood up from in front of Luke and looked down at him sitting on the sofa.

Soon, Yina knew the reason.

"Wow!" A loud and sharp cry came from the bedroom upstairs. The sound was so loud and penetrating that Yina was stunned.

"I seem to hear a child's cry." Yina tilted her head and looked at Luke suspiciously. No children have ever been to this villa.

"This is the reason for my sigh and this look." Luke grabbed his hair, stood up from the sofa, and quickly walked towards the bedroom upstairs. Yina followed closely behind him. When he reached the bedroom door, Luke put his hand on the handle, turned his head and said to Yina seriously: "No matter what you see or hear later, don't get excited, I can explain!"
