Chapter 3596 Edge of Tomorrow (Forty-two)
Before Batman had time to get angry at Victor's attitude, a bigger trouble lay before him.
Now there are more than just the task force present. The ones who rescued the hostages are ordinary police officers, and their acceptance is not as high as that of these monsters.
The shark monster in front of him had just swallowed a living person alive. Which police officer had ever seen such a scene? !
The police who were originally getting along harmoniously with the task force suddenly turned their guns on them. They quickly retreated, and then gathered in groups of three or five to form a combat formation, with blast shields in front and guns in the back, aiming at the Shark King.
The rescued hostages were also terrified and ran back screaming, but their legs were weak and they tripped and fell to the ground one after another.
King Shark was a little confused. His intelligence was indeed not high, but he was very sensitive to emotions. He could feel that those who pointed guns at him were hostile, but he didn't know why.
He has not lived in normal human society like Killer Croc. His living conditions are no different from those in the ocean. When eating fish in the ocean, do you need to ask the fish for their opinions?
In his view, humans are just like fish. When he is hungry, he eats. Is there anything wrong with that?
King Shark didn't know why these people were so hostile to him. He didn't do anything, just stood there and scratched his head.
This action was his instinctive expression of confusion, but the police didn't know that. When they saw the shark monster raising his arms, they thought he was going to fight back, so they shot him directly.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound of gunfire, and the other members of the task force had to quickly retreat to the side and find cover.
Bullets posed no threat to King Shark, but the attitude of the police angered him. If you were having a good meal and suddenly a fish jumped out of the fish tank and slapped you, would you be angry?
He roared and rushed towards the police. Pamela jumped out to stop him - the vines swung hard and swept all the police in front away.
When the Shark King rushed forward, he found that the enemy in front of him was gone. He was a little confused. He turned back to look at Pamela and said, "Tree! Tree! People!"
"Don't worry, I'll help you deal with them!" Pamela waved her hand again, and the policeman on the other side was also blown away.
"Stop!" Batman yelled.
"Stop what? Stop," Victor also chimed in, "Can't you see she's saving those policemen?!"
Regardless of whether Pamela's methods were somewhat violent, she did a good job of saving the police. Wherever the Shark King rushed, he would sweep the police away, causing the Shark King to not be able to touch anyone, and naturally no one was hurt.
Batman observed for a while and found that the policeman who flew out would at most be injured, which was better than being eaten. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't care.
Just at this moment, a helicopter landed. Amanda walked out of the helicopter. On her way here, she obviously didn't check the surveillance equipment, so she didn't know that King Shark was out of control.
When she came over and saw the policemen lying on the ground, she thought it was the Joker and Harley Quinn who did it, so she immediately took two steps back cautiously.
At this time, King Shark rushed out and roared at Amanda.
"What's wrong? Nanawei?" Amanda asked in surprise.
"Get out of the way!" Pamela shouted as she chased after him.
The shark king roared and rushed towards Amanda. Pamela had to use vines to lift Amanda up. After all, this was one of her bosses, so she couldn't be too rough.
King Shark is like a cat playing with a toy stick. The more he can't hit Amanda, the more he jumps up. Amanda keeps screaming in the air.
"Put me down! Put me down!!!"
A cold light flashed across the shark king's fangs.
"No, no, no! Don't put me down! Don't put me down!!" Amanda immediately changed her words.
In order to calm King Shark down, Victor took a few steps forward, raised his gun and aimed, freezing King Shark first.
At this time, Pamela put Amanda down. Amanda looked frightened, and she was the kind of person who would be particularly angry when she was scared.
"What are you doing!!!" She rushed into the factory like a mad cow.
The surrounding policemen all fell to the ground, and the hostages were so frightened that their legs were limp that they could not stand up. The only ones who could stand were the members of the task force and Harley.
"Batman, you have to give me an explanation!" Amanda roared at Batman, "If you weren't giving blind orders, how could this happen?!"
"That's right, it's him! He's the one who prevents us from being rescued!" The hostage beside him echoed.
It can be seen that Amanda did not think there was anything wrong with her command. She just felt that Batman was being unreasonable by taking away her command, and that Batman's command was not very successful.
Batman didn't care about his accusations. In his opinion, the hostages were rescued and Harley Quinn was caught, so the mission of this operation was accomplished, and all other accidents were within an acceptable range.
The more Batman behaved like this, the angrier Amanda became. She walked deeper into the factory, trying to find evidence that Batman had done something wrong. But Harley, who was standing next to Batman, gradually widened her eyes.
She had been too hasty in tying her submachine gun and the rope had not been tied tightly enough, so it had come loose and the gun was dangling in the air.
Whoosh—bang!
The butt of the gun hit Amanda's head with a loud bang. Amanda fell to the ground. The world was finally quiet.
Fortunately, Amanda's subordinates were powerful enough. Harley was eventually taken away by the Federation Shield. Her plan was half successful. All she had to do next was play the role of Harley Quinn well and let Batman persuade her.
After being taken to the Federation Shield base, Harley was locked in a room in the basement. Pamela sneaked out to see her at night.
"Oh my God. I bet it's a stupid idea for you to join this team," Pamela couldn't help but say, "Nothing that happened during the day was planned. Amanda hasn't woken up yet."
When she thought of Amanda who had fainted from the blow, Harley couldn't help laughing. But she still coughed twice and said, "It's okay, the final result is good anyway."
"If it weren't for the high salary she offered, I wouldn't stay in this unreliable organization for even a second! Well, I guess Batman will come looking for you tonight. You better stay here."
After Pamela left, Batman arrived soon. Harley really tried her best to play the role of Harley Quinn, but Batman didn't find any flaws.
The two had a secret talk and reached a reluctant agreement. At least that's what Batman thought.
The next day, after Amanda woke up, Batman went to find her again. After his persuasion, Amanda finally agreed to let Harley join Task Force X. He didn't expect her to help much, as long as she didn't make trouble outside.
Just as Amanda was about to regroup and go to the Brainiac Center under construction in Brainiac to take a look, she heard the bad news - Congress immediately asked her to report to Washington.
It was said to be a performance review, but in fact, she was transferred back halfway through and was not allowed to participate in this matter anymore.
Amanda was puzzled. Brainiac was also an enemy of Congress, so what was wrong with her causing trouble for him? Were those congressmen's brains rusty?
Batman, who was sitting nearby and heard Amanda's phone conversation, said, "I'm afraid it was the professor who did it. He should be very good at this, right?"
Amanda also had some doubts about Schiller, but she didn't know how Schiller had influenced Congress. Could it be the Justice League? But what reasons did the Justice League have to convince Congress?
This time she was right, it was indeed Schiller who took action.
Schiller has taken great pains to make the mercenaries earn more money. If it is too easy, they will not get the budget; if it is too difficult, the whole army will be wiped out. How to design a mission with moderate difficulty is really a science.
Schiller is not good at explosions; he is good at psychological and sociological attacks.
In fact, he didn't do anything special. He just asked Brainiac to take pictures of the state police and send them to Congress, which prompted them to make this decision.
Brainiac was indeed a big problem, but as long as Amanda became a bigger problem, Congress would stand on Brainiac's side, even at the cost of their lives. More precisely, on the opposite side of Amanda.
Amanda's federal shield has never been taken seriously, not because she is not ambitious enough or not capable enough, but because the president and Congress deliberately do so.
If you just deal with or restrict this group of lunatics, then of course we support you. But if you want to use this group of lunatics, it means that you have become one of them, and then we have to deal with or restrict you.
The Federal Shield was created under such circumstances. What is the difference between the people who rule the super-powered lunatics and the super-powered lunatics themselves?
The answer is there is no difference, both are uncontrollable.
In order to reduce the danger of these people, they must be controlled and their development speed must be suppressed. That's why Amanda has been suppressed and can't make any progress.
Any attempt to make progress would be seen by the upper echelons as her using these superpowered lunatics to stir up trouble. It would be even more incredible if she actually achieved results. If Amanda were to be in a high position, who would be her opponent with these lunatics under her command?
Manipulating the local police is a very sensitive move. The state police have great law enforcement power, and sometimes even the FBI, a powerful dragon, cannot suppress the local snake.
New Jersey is the Democratic Party's base. Amanda's manipulation of the state police makes it hard not to suspect that she has turned blue.
The Republicans will not allow such a powerful force to fall into the hands of the other side. The Democrats are actually not happy either, because they know that Amanda is not their person, but Amanda manipulates the state police to do things, isn't this stealing their guns?
All I can say is that Amanda is a typical isolationist in politics. When she solves political problems, she basically only considers herself.
She thought that if she could get the support of the rich people on Diamond Street, her organization would have the ability to move up. But if she looked up, she would understand that the positions above were already filled with people. If you don't pull people down and try to force your way up, no one will agree.
The amount of power is fixed. If one person steps down and hands it over to another person, there won't be any problems, because the power that is distributed to the other person is still the same. But if someone else squeezes in, the power in someone else's hands will always be diluted, and no one wants to see this situation.
It would be fine if Amanda stayed at the bottom, but if she tried to force her way up and take the power of law enforcement, she would definitely be boycotted by the people above. Because if she took the power of law enforcement today, she could take other powers tomorrow. No one was willing to give up the power in their hands.
Schiller saw this point clearly and used this method to trick Amanda. Of course, this is just the first move, and there are a series of serial traps behind it.
Logically speaking, Batman can see the problem. But again, if Amanda had listened to advice, she wouldn't be like this now.
I'm really hungry during the fat loss period.
