Chapter 1462: Who Is More Miserable

While the team stayed on the down-low, the situation in New York was extremely chaotic.

The most obvious thing was that law and order had deteriorated significantly again, and NYPD suffered another major blow.

A new wave of police officers resigned, and it was even worse than last time.

Luke didnt really care.

There would always be people who would sign up to be police officers in order to make a living.

Besides, New York was the financial center of America.

Law and order here actually had nothing to do with NYPD, but with how the financial bigshots wanted it to play out.

The good news was that none of Lukes colleagues in the police department had been injured.

After the attack by the test subjects, Luke had specifically talked to them about how to respond in a similar situation.

This was very important.

Dustin, Elsa, and Elizabeth worked at HQ, and didnt need to be in the field.

After receiving Lukes alert about the danger, they had gotten busy in the office building, and hadnt been stupid enough to run outside to die.

This time, nobody criticized NYPD.

The test subjects could be considered empty-handed monsters, but the Chitauri was an organized army invasion.

Getting NYPD to attack the alien army while maintaining law and order was too demanding.

Tens of thousands of dollars in annual pay couldnt buy lives.

Also, because Luke and the others were too efficient, the National Guard only arrived in Manhattan after the space portal was closed.

The four big military arms were even more tragic.

The higher-ups first had to decide whether to make a move or not, before they wrangled and made calls to issue the order.

Some of the troops got ready and were prepared to set off at any moment.

But before most of the soldiers even got on the vehicles, the battle in New York was over.

The United States spent so much money every year to raise an army that was known as the worlds number one army.

In the end, when Earth encountered the first alien invasion, the army didnt even show its face before it was robbed of its job by a bunch of superheroes.

It was embarrassing.

Anyone who wasnt blind could see that the main force in the Battle of New York was Batmans team.

These were “vigilantes” who had never taken a single dime from the American government.

Previously, these vigilantes had been falsely slandered in the news.

Now, they were the ones who had saved New York, and not the army who consumed billions of dollars a year.

Worst of all, a tech whiz online compared and logically analyzed a lot of photos, and finally asserted that it was a nuclear missile that Batman had taken into the portal.

On American soil, the only person who would dare launch a nuke was the person in the White House.

If there was an “accomplice” involved, the Department of Defense and the Air Force were prime suspects, and they couldnt run from this responsibility.

This issue became the real “nuke” which blew up in the news and among the spectators.

The scale, scope, and consequences of launching this missile were far more serious than an alien invasion.

Actually, it might not be a bad thing for many people at the top if the nuke had really exploded.

As long as it could really take care of the space portal in the sky above Manhattan, this decision could be said to be the right one.

Someone with enough status could then take the fall, and this matter would be settled.

Compared with taking care of the alien invasion in one go and killing those superheroes who shouldnt exist in passing, it was nothing for civilians to die with them.

The civilians making a fuss wasnt a big deal.

It couldnt last forever.

But now… the nuke hadnt exploded.

This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

Fortunately, at the very least, it hadnt caused any casualties, and could only be considered a “failed attempt.”

Unfortunately, this further proved the authorities incompetence.

They had even used a nuclear missile, but hadnt been able to help.

Not only were the authorities now labeled incompetent, they couldnt cover up the fact that they had launched a nuke without anything to show for it.

It was one thing for the authorities to be incompetent, but for them to be incompetent and ruthless was something that most people couldnt accept.

This was true for both the financial elites and criminals in New York.

Both of them were the trash of society, but when they really were treated like trash by the authorities, who had been about to dump a nuke on their heads, they couldnt take it!

In front of the White House, a large number of victims and their families from New York, as well as from human rights associations, raised signboards in protest.

The president, Michelle Geber, had to give a speech on TV to the nation that afternoon.

She made it clear that it had just been a conventional missile and not a nuclear weapon.

Also, she had nothing to do with the missile launch; it had been a private military operation.

She also said that the pilot involved was now in custody and that the relevant personnel who allowed the launch to commence were being investigated.

These words created an uproar.

Countless media outlets and the masses roasted her for lying through her teeth.

There was a lot of evidence to suggest that just this one American fighter plane had flown to New York from the south, and it had turned around and left after firing just one missile.

If this wasnt a nuclear weapon, then what was the point of this American operation Were they relying on this one fighter plane and an ordinary missile to change the situation in New York at the time

Even if the pilots actions were justified, shouldnt he have fired all the missiles on the plane and not just one at the very least

More people began to question Michelle Geber: Youre the one who holds the launch button for the nuclear weapon.

Now, youre saying that a nuclear missile was launched on American soil, targeting Manhattan, the number one financial center in the world, and you dont know who fired it.

Is this a dereliction of duty No, its pure incompetence.

This would also mean that the president had completely lost the authority to control the nuclear weapon and didnt have the capability to sit in that position.

Unbeknownst to the public, Michelle Geber, the first female president of the United States, was also feeling despair.

She truly had nothing to do with the person behind this.

Without a clear understanding of the situation, she wasnt stupid enough to drop a nuclear weapon on Manhattan.

But no matter what she said now, it couldnt dispel the publics rising suspicion.

This seed of mistrust had been planted in the hearts of many people a few months ago when it was confirmed that the authorities had tried to frame Batman.

More than 20,000 people had died in the Battle of New York, and 30,000 were missing.

As expected, most of the missing people would be added to the list of the dead.

There were at least 50,000 dead, and hundreds of thousands of casualties.

The consequences couldnt be compared with the thousand or so that had died in the attack by the test subjects.

Back then, the government had seized the opportunity to shift the blame for the attack on Batman.

For some people, their objective had just been to deal with Batman.

Although this failed in the end, it had successfully drawn most peoples attention.

Batman couldnt take the blame for this alien attack.

First of all, the people had already been fooled once.

This time, no matter how stupid a person was, they wouldnt think that Batman, who at most beat up hooligans every day, could be blamed for an alien invasion.

Worst of all, Batman was missing..
