American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Page 879

The conversation ended there. A few minutes later, President Joel Nash held a press conference at the White House, announcing in front of all the reporters that the aliens had been eliminated and that he would do everything possible to ensure the country was not invaded by aliens.

The impassioned statement set the rhythm for the entire beat.

Joel Nash is a renowned figure, a hero in the eyes of many, and a super president who fights against aliens.

Chapter 1094 Seeking Help!

Joel Nash's "unpretentious" yet "brutal and barbaric" behavior has sparked strong reactions because he makes no mention of the sacrifices made by the Skyrim people and the military in fighting the aliens, instead taking all the credit for himself.

Immediately after the press conference, he traveled to several states to hold campaign rallies, using the "alien threat" theme to stir up public anxiety and claiming that only they could protect the country and only they could fight aliens.

Instead of provoking a backlash, his series of exaggerated remarks garnered widespread support, with people in many regions installing Joel Nash's image and becoming his loyal supporters.

His approval rating is rising steadily, increasing by 3 percentage points in just one day. If this continues, he really has a chance to turn things around and create another election miracle.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, many people became restless.

At noon on October 19, Standarov and Maeve, one of the FBI's top five agents, appeared in the town of Greenlawn, accompanied by a truckload of weapons and three senior agents.

"Young Master Xiao, we can't wait any longer."

Nelson found Xu Fu-Xiao, who was sunbathing, and said in an unusually serious voice, "The most urgent task is to eradicate the cult's den as soon as possible and find evidence of Joel Nash's collusion with the cult, otherwise an accident is very likely to happen."

Xu Fu extended his hand, and "657" said with concern, "You will all be terrified if there is even one nuclear bomb."

"This has nothing to do with nuclear weapons."

Nielsen clenched his fists. The measures taken by several presidents not only put enormous pressure on Jake Harvey, but also had a significant impact on him. "Joel Nash's approval rating is soaring. Once he shows signs of victory, many people will stop and choose to wait and see. The FBI will also have problems. The boss is the director, but internal affairs are not decided by him alone."

Xu Fu yawned: "There's still a whole month left! What's the rush?"

Nelson stamped his foot and pleaded in a low voice, "Young Master Xiao, we really can't drag this out any longer. We're all in this together now. Even if you don't care about us, you have to care about Emily!"

Xu Fu smiled dismissively.

"Now that things have come to this, you still have the nerve to mention Emily? This isn't your problem. I've already told you about the alien's personality, abilities, weaknesses, and the outcome..."

"Look at the efficiency of the other Amandas, and then look at yours."

Nelson's heart pounded. Damn black woman, who would have thought she'd use a nuclear bomb? But it was a must. He sighed and said helplessly.

"After the mission is over, you can laugh all you want. The most urgent thing is the cult. As you can see, the boss has sent a group of good people. Standarov and Maeve have very powerful superpowers. With their help, plus the forces at hand, we can go all out."

Xu Fu took off his sunglasses: "Then let's do it tomorrow!"

"Not today?"

"Of course not today, I need to find an assistant."

Nelson thought, "Can't a dozen of us handle a snake?"

You think there's only one!

Xu Fu tore off his bath towel, returned to the tavern shirtless, and ignored the surprised looks of Standalone and Maeve. A few minutes later, he left unharmed, followed by Zatana, Emily, the wizard Roy, the nerdy Roy, and Adam carrying a huge travel bag.

Nelson wanted to know: "Where are you...?"

I think I said: Seek help.

Xu Fu whistled, and a hummingbird swooped down and perched on his shoulder, chirping as if it were saying something. Xu Fu nodded from time to time, then took out a waffle the size of a grain of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

The hummingbird exhaled mist and flew southeast, spreading its wings.

This series of actions left everyone around speechless. Stadalov exclaimed in shock, "You have superpowers too?"

Xu Fu shrugged: "If intelligence can be considered a superpower."

"Hummingbirds are made of metal," Bell explained casually.

"Hummingbird Scout?"

There are two possible interpretations.

Xu Fu stared at Standarov and Maeve with great interest: these two were FBI aces, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, looking just like the female bullets in "X-Men". Both of them were gathering a lot of energy in their bodies, ready to explode.

"Would you two like to join us?"

Standarov did not answer. He turned his gaze to Nelson and saw the latter nod before speaking.

"I also want to see what a seven-meter-long king cobra looks like."

The group changed locations and headed towards the woods.

Swamp forests are known as forbidden zones for humans, with unimaginably harsh environments. Towering trees, some hundreds of years old, have dense foliage that almost blocks out the sunlight. Layers of shrubs grow taller than a person, and weeds are no taller than knee-high. The most unpleasant thing is the puddles that can be seen everywhere.

The puddle may look small, but when you put your feet in, they get stuck in the mud and you can't even stand up.

"This cave is so desolate."

Xu Fu tripped over a tree root again. He shook his head helplessly, took out a small knife, and cut the root. In the pitch-black forest, it was impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south. If it weren't for the hummingbird guiding the way, it would be impossible to determine the direction.

After walking for an hour, Zatanna couldn't help but speak up.

"Who exactly are we looking for? What kind of person would live in a place like this?"

You'll know when you get there.

Xu Fu didn't explain much. Suddenly, he raised his hand and with one stroke, he cut the poisonous snake that was curled up in the tree, ready to ambush him, in half.

Zatana was stunned: "Cobra? How could there be a cobra in the forest?"

Xu Fu narrowed his eyes, a green light flashing deep within his pupils. He looked around and muttered to himself, "Everyone, get ready, there are many snakes ahead."

Everyone looked helpless. Cobra venom is very potent, and even with an antidote, a bite can cause discomfort for a long time.

"Let me do it!"

Augusto stepped forward, closed his eyes, and silently cast a spell. Magic gathered in his staff, and he picked it up and threw it to the ground.

"exile!"

With a loud shout, an invisible veil of light spread towards the sugarcane. At the same moment, countless rustling sounds rang out in the forest. The snakes, insects, rats, and ants hiding inside all left their nests and fled to distant places, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Xu Fu could clearly see that the green light hidden in the tree hole, the grass, and the soil had all disappeared, and there was nothing around him.

"Magic is such a fascinating ability."

Xu Fu sighed: "Mr. Roy, would you be interested in working for my company after the mission is over?"

Roy laughed and said, "You don't have Ms. Zatanna! She's much more talented than me."

Zatana couldn't help but shiver.

"I have absolutely no relationship with him."

After dealing with the venomous snake, the men continued on their way, chopping grass and firewood as they went. Before they knew it, their clothes were covered in grass juice, which was disgusting. As they went on, the light around them grew dimmer and dimmer, as if they had entered another world.

A thick fog suddenly rolled into the forest, hazy and dreamlike.

A low howl echoed from the mist. As the fog dissipated, eerie faces appeared: humans, tigers, wolves, deer... various creatures materialized as ethereal shadows, their grotesque and twisted faces wandering through the fog.

"spectrum!"

Zatanna gasped, "So many ghosts!"

Augusto raked up the fallen leaves and saw bones exposed on the ground. He quickly put down his backpack, used his cane to dig, and soon discovered the bones of more than a dozen different creatures.

"Sacrifice the witch's soul!"

"Sacrifice the witch's soul!"

Zatana and Augusto uttered the word at the same time and exchanged a glance, seeing terror in each other's eyes.

Emily wanted to know "what is a witch's soul ritual".

"A kind of dark magic that uses the bodies and souls of thousands of animals as sacrifices to make a deal with the devil. After the deal, the land where the sacrifices were made is eroded by the power of death and begins to rot, just like it is now."

Under the sign, the group looked around: the surrounding flowers, trees and ground were all a deathly gray, showing no signs of autumn, and a faint stench permeated the air, like a cesspool that hadn't been cleaned for decades.

Just then, the thick fog suddenly churned, and all sorts of hideous black shadows transformed into wild beasts, roaring as they pounced on the crowd.

Zatana and Augusto silently cast a spell to expel evil spirits. Roy took out three seeds and threw them into the soil. Green sprouts broke through the soil and shot upwards at a visible speed, turning into wooden vines as thick as a wrist. They danced wildly, making crackling sounds, and kept hitting the monster woven from the thick fog.

Everyone used their skills to block the fog, but there was too much fog, and hundreds of ghosts launched an attack at the same time. With a loud "bang", the Ningbo energy barrier shook violently.

Standalov's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "We can't hold on much longer, guys. Think of something quickly, or we'll retreat if necessary."

Xu Fu glanced at Adam, who nodded, took a few steps forward, opened his mouth wide, and let out a scream into the swirling mist.

怒吼

The sound waves rolled forward, carrying away the terrifying fluctuations. The fog stopped instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed. The next instant, the white fog swirled and rushed wildly backward. A few seconds later, the suffocating fog disappeared, and under the sunlight, 5.7 pm, mottled spots of light were left on the gray earth.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.

The power of a roar is immense!

"Soul Magic, the War Song of the Dead!"

Zatana muttered to herself, looking at Adam with extreme shock: "You really know the Undead War Song? This is a magic that has been lost for hundreds of years. Where did you learn it?"

Adam stepped back a few steps and stood beside Xu Fu. Xu Fu did not offer any explanation, but squinted and carefully observed the swampy lake in front of him.

The lake water was as black as ink, without a single ripple.

A strange sense of oppression arose in the hearts of the people gathered together, as if they were being stared at by a terrifying creature.
