"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! This is too cool!"
"I give Brother Xu full marks for his pretentiousness!"
"If the image quality wasn't so bad, people would believe it if it was called a sci-fi movie."
In the dormitory, Zhang Meng and Lu Dong watched the newly sent video and applauded loudly.
What was shown on the video was naturally the scene of Xia Xu subduing the wolf giant just now, from the flying car collision to the spider weaver and the thermal energy knife. Although they were very familiar with these equipment, they were still shocked by this scene.
And even they are like this, let alone the others who are seeing this for the first time.
Most of the real victims are still in fear or grief, but there are still many brave people who have escaped danger and have not forgotten to post on Tieba or WeChat Moments. The realistic and explosive scenes, coupled with the posters claiming to be from the real scene, immediately caused quite a stir.
Most people initially viewed the rumors and videos on the Internet as fun and anecdotes, but in a busy area like Shanghai's Pedestrian Street, there were too many people affected and witnessed.
As more and more people came forward to tell their stories, the whole incident continued to ferment, and the Internet was in an uproar. There were doubts, arguments, condemnation and panic, and the world was full of different situations.
But there is a saying that goes, "Mind your own business."
The casualties and impact of this incident are devastating, but if you are not a victim of the incident and are just watching from the Internet, most people actually think the same as they do when they see news reports about an earthquake or tornado in a certain place, or a major tragedy in a certain place.
Perhaps there is pity, grief, and a hint of panic, but in fact the real sense of empathy is not that deep.
In addition, Xia Xu finally made a heroic appearance and subdued the runaway wolf giant.
Although the previous casualties were irreversible and it was not a perfect ending, it was at least a relatively good ending in the eyes of people other than the victims involved.
The hero defeats the dragon and saves the people in danger. This is the standard happy ending of all stories.
As for those things that were briefly mentioned in the background, who would care about them when listening to the story
Therefore, although this incident, which can be regarded as a major tragedy, has caused a lot of public opinion on the Internet, most people's attention is focused elsewhere.
The first thing to be concerned about is naturally whether the event is true or false.
The second is the origin of the wolf giant and Hong Yan.
Of course, the most important thing is the identity of a 'hero'.
Entertainment to death is a contemporary truth. The most eye-catching things are always those that attract attention.
…
Let’s continue with the small talk and get back to Xia Xu.
Xia Xu walked out of the cafe with Hong Yan in one hand and the black woman in the other, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed where he was.
As if they saw that the street had quieted down, people began to look out from the buildings on both sides of the street. There were even a few brave ones who were eager to try and seemed to be planning to come over and talk to him.
After experiencing the wolf giant and the giant, which shattered the world view, and then encountering the appearance of a hero, these people are naturally curious and want to explore more.
Especially Xia Xu, the 'hero' who turned the tide, was obviously a righteous person, and the technological creations he used seemed to be barely within his comprehension range, so naturally he did not have so much fear and alienation from the unknown.
Fortunately, before any brave warriors stepped forward, the armed police convoy that arrived with sirens blaring had already dispelled everyone's concerns.
"We're late."
Police transport vehicles were stationed around, with a large number of armed police getting off the vehicles to keep watch. Another person approached Xia Xu with a hurried look of panic, obviously knowing his identity.
"It is not too late, when one's strength is exhausted."
Xia Xu shook his head when he heard that.
The officials are always the last to arrive.
This is the ridicule and even sarcasm that many people feel when they see this kind of scene.
But the fact is that this is simply unavoidable. Even if we can predict the future, it is impossible to completely predict the criminal behavior of more than one billion people, not to mention that this assumption is completely untenable.
No matter what the authorities do, it is impossible to know and prevent all vicious crimes in advance. All they can do is rush to the scene as soon as possible after the incident to resolve the problem and deal with the follow-up.
All of this takes time. It takes time to gather people, it takes time to mobilize weapons, and it takes even more time to rush to the scene. In many situations, such as the congestion just now, it is difficult for them to get in.
The official response speed this time is absolutely indisputable. It has only been more than 20 minutes since the wolf giant went berserk.
What's more, the special department of Magic City immediately contacted Xia Xu, who was most likely to arrive at the scene quickly and had the ability to solve the problem. In theory, he was also the official response to this incident.
"These are the people involved in this incident. They should be the remnants of the Gardner Mental Hospital. The rest of the matter is left to you."
Xia Xu said as he handed over the black woman he was holding.
"No problem, thank you very much."
The middle-aged man who came up to negotiate with Xia Xu nodded, waved his hand to signal several armed police officers to come up and take the man away, and at the same time extended his hand and introduced himself: "The leader of the Magic City Special Logistics Team, Zhang Zeyang."
"Nice to meet you, Team Leader Zhang."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "I guess I don't need to introduce myself, right?"
"Of course, I've heard of your name for a long time. Liu Quande and I are quite familiar with each other."
Zhang Zeyang also smiled.
"Since we're acquaintances, you shouldn't mind me taking up some public resources, right? Can you send a car to take me back?"
Xia Xu pointed to a police transport vehicle parked nearby.
This presumptuous request made several armed police officers on guard nearby look sideways and frown slightly.
They had just rushed to the scene in a hurry, and even if the problem had been resolved, the subsequent work of comforting and rescuing the personnel would be a huge project. They also needed to guard against the bandits who might not have evacuated, and they wished they could split one person into two.
Asking them to send a car to take me back at this time is a bit too pretentious.
"… Thanks."
However, Zhang Zeyang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he showed gratitude on his face, and hurriedly ordered the transport truck next to him to take Xia Xu away.
"Team Zhang, who was that just now? Even if he was a super soldier from your special department, he was a little too pretentious, wasn't he?"
As they watched the police car drive away, several people nearby who were familiar with Zhang Zeyang could not help but express their complaints and questions.
"This isn't from the special operations team, but the foreign aid we hired temporarily."
Zhang Zeyang shook his head and sneered, "Besides, they are not showing off, but are doing us a favor."
"What do you mean? He's showing off by picking us up and we have to thank him?"
Several people were confused after hearing this.
"No matter what happens this time, we arrived here after the fact. This is a fact. Most people won't listen to our reasons and difficulties."
Zhang Zeyang smiled bitterly and recomposed his expression: "He was the one who promptly resolved the giant werewolf issue. His leaving on his own and leaving in our car have two completely different meanings."
It was true that the man was the one they asked for help, but other people wouldn't know that.
If that person had just dealt with the wolf giant and left directly, then the whole incident would be characterized as their incompetence. There were too many casualties and the impact was too great. No matter how hard they tried, they would have to take the blame, and the entire department would have to take the blame.
But the man left in their car, which indirectly highlighted the connection between the two. The public would also associate him with a special official personnel, who was either in service or playing a supporting role.
This is almost a disguised way of sharing the credit of the entire incident with them. Although it is impossible for them to ask for rewards with such heavy casualties, it can at least reduce the pressure of public opinion and the difficulty of their work.
I can only say that he is indeed worthy of being the youngest talented entrepreneur and super academic master in history. His emotional intelligence and IQ are not something that ordinary people can possess, and his success is by no means accidental or lucky.
"I see."
After listening to Zhang Zeyang's brief explanation, several police officers immediately showed sincere admiration on their faces, and at the same time they felt a little ashamed for their own unauthorized criticism without knowing the inside story.
