From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 112 Foreign languages ​​are great! We must learn them!

"Gentlemen, please be quiet."

Griffin walked naturally to the parliamentary podium, his sharp eyes scanning the entire room.

Those once arrogant congressmen were now trembling like Thanksgiving turkeys, their faces filled with terror.

Is the state government deciding to declare a state of emergency?

Similar doubts spread rapidly throughout the venue like a virus, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

"According to the executive order signed by the Governor."

Griffin cleared his throat and calmly said, "King County is now officially under a state of emergency. The county council,..."

The county government has ceased all operations, and 500 National Guard soldiers are assembling, preparing to deploy to cities such as Seattle.

"this----"

Upon hearing this, the county head and the mayor gasped in shock.

This means that their power has been temporarily frozen, like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be cut up.

Anthony swallowed hard and spoke first while everyone else was still in a daze.

"Sir, is this really necessary?"

"These are just some criminal cases, and the state government made this decision? This is absolutely absurd!"

Upon hearing this, the councilors present suddenly realized what was happening and began to speak up.

"That's right, this is a serious violation of the constitution! You have no right to treat us like this!"

1"

"I want to protest! I want to file a complaint against you!"

"You damned bastards, you've violated our democracy and freedom!"

Faced with criticism from all sides, Griffin was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Seeing him like this, even Louise beside him couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Is this guy a masochist?

Do you really enjoy being scolded?

Griffin's shamelessness was beyond imagination, even leaving these seasoned politicians, who were used to being verbally abused, too exhausted to find the right words to curse.

Once the scene had gradually quieted down, Griffin slowly began to speak.

"You've all finished speaking, now it's my turn, right?"

His voice was relatively soft, but deep and serious, making people unable to help but quiet down and listen attentively.

"Currently, a train has derailed on a section of railway in King County due to mismanagement by the local government, causing a very serious hazardous chemical leak that could endanger the entire state of Washington."

Upon hearing Griffin's words, the entire council chamber was taken aback.

"Damn it, why didn't you say something this important sooner!"

"What, what's going on? I've never heard of this before?"

"Damn it, it must have been something that happened on your end. You old codger, it's normal that you didn't know!"

Seeing the chaos below the stage, Griffin's smile became even more distorted.

It's normal that they don't know.

Because this incident happened in the early hours of last night, it was reported directly to the state government.

If Griffin continues to wrangle with these incompetent bureaucrats, his plans will definitely be delayed until they fail.

Just as everyone was instinctively starting to shift blame onto each other, County Magistrate Anthony suddenly spoke up.

"Sir, on behalf of the county government, I hereby declare that we will absolutely obey the arrangements of the state government."

"I will lead everyone to actively support your work."

Damn it, that old bastard!

Since we can't choose, should we just decide to actively enjoy it?

He really figured it out.

Other politicians also realized the situation and began to pledge their loyalty to Griffin, hoping to secure a position under him.

It is conceivable that after this turmoil, the entire political arena in Jin County will undergo a major purge.

If they can seize the opportunity, each of them could become the next county magistrate.

For a moment, the entire council chamber was as noisy as a casino.

"No need, the governor has already made arrangements."

Griffin glanced at everyone with a mocking expression.

"I will act as a special commissioner and be in full command of this operation. You may all go back and await orders."

Is this the special commissioner?

The people in the council chamber stared at Griffin in disbelief, then at Louise, who stood silently beside him.

With Louise's endorsement, it is clear that a consensus has been reached among the party's top leadership.

When this scene unfolded at the city council, breaking news began to circulate throughout the United States.

Washington State Governor Jay Beasley officially declared a state of emergency in King County in the state legislature, with the state government taking over all operations in the county.

The news came so suddenly that the residents of King County were completely unprepared.

The news broke in the evening, plunging cities like Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and Kent into an apocalyptic situation.

Highways were jammed with cars, gas stations had long queues, supermarkets and convenience stores were emptied of stock, and in many places, classic promotions like "zero-dollar purchases" were making a limited-time comeback.

In this chaos, the power of an individual is extremely weak.

In this almost entirely dog-eat-dog world, there will always be stronger and richer people who can grab more resources in advance.

Outside a department store in Seattle.

A convoy protected by the National Guard was parked on the roadside not far away.

Louise sat in the car, her face gloomy, silently watching the commotion at the entrance of the department store, her brows slightly furrowed.

This is her city, but now, because of an absurd order, it has fallen into this apocalyptic state.

As a special commissioner, Louise felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

She wanted to do something, but she also knew that she had been sidelined.

Now, in the entire King County, only Griffin, who has been appointed, has the power of life and death.

"What are you worried about?"

Griffin turned to look at Louise, a contemptuous sneer playing on his lips.

"That's not right, Griffin."

Louise shook her head, her face serious: "Even if you don't deploy the National Guard to maintain order, you shouldn't have transferred all the police officers away. You've plunged Seattle into a terrible hell!"

"You're still so naive, Louise."

Griffin chuckled, his tone full of arrogance.

"Do you think we're the guardians of public order?"

"We are just soldiers fighting to maintain stable rule, and the unrest here has nothing to do with us."

"A calm sea cannot produce excellent sailors; if you want to catch a big fish, you must make some sacrifices."

Looking at the dashing Griffin, Louise felt as if she were sitting next to a man-eating beast in a suit.

The chaotic scene before our eyes is also unfolding in various cities of Jin County.

Roughly estimated, the damage that bastard Griffin caused to Seattle may even be more serious than that so-called Yellow King!

In order to achieve his plan, he dragged almost all the citizens of Jin County into hell.

As planned, under Griffin's command, the convoy headed toward the railway line.

To complete this plan, he and Charles spared no expense and made the most thorough preparations.

The FBI's most elite armed squad has already laid an ambush at the site of the train crash.

In addition, there were police officers drawn from various cities in King County, 500 National Guard soldiers from Washington State, and even heavy equipment such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Such power is even enough to overthrow a small African country.

As he realized things were progressing according to plan, Griffin couldn't help but break into a twisted smile, a dangerous glint in his narrowed eyes.

Despite his seemingly gentlemanly demeanor, he was like a madman who had been suppressing his emotions for too long, yearning to pave the way to ascension with blood.

The atmosphere in the cramped carriage suddenly became eerie, making Louise somewhat uneasy.

Perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long, Louise suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, when you were formulating this plan, did you consider this question?"

What else haven't they considered?

Griffin turned his head and asked, puzzled.

"What's the problem?"

"What if he doesn't come?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little awkward.

And just outside the town near where the train crashed.

Ye Xiao and Seth, as part of the supporting police force, were assigned to the outermost perimeter to seal off the area.

Further inside, there were National Guard troops who had arrived earlier, as well as an FBI action team that had been lying in wait.

"That's really strange."

Wearing a special mask, Seth looked at the passing military vehicles and couldn't help but wonder.

"Why did the state government act so quickly this time?"

"In the past, they should have argued for at least several days before they could settle things."

"Doesn't this just prove that the governor is a good leader?"

Ye Xiao, who already knew the inside story, smiled.

He hadn't expected that the federal commissioners would be so ruthless, turning on him right away and putting half of Washington state's residents in danger.

Sometimes Ye Xiao was even quite curious.

Who exactly gave them this confidence?

If they don't fall into this trap, then they're doomed.

However, based on Ye Chi's experience during this period.

Even if Griffin and his team fail in their plan, at most they will be reprimanded by their superiors, reassigned to another post, and punished with three drinks.

As for accountability and compensation, they are practically nonexistent.

The residents of the nearby town may never know this until they die.

The accident that they suffered was actually a conspiracy by two ambitious people to gain credit.

"Huh? Ye, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Xiao snapped out of his thoughts, looked up, and saw Louise sitting in the convoy parked in front of him.

"Wasn't I drafted here?"

Ye Xiao smiled and patted his protective suit: "They said even non-staff members would have to participate. I should have resigned earlier if I had known."

"Oh?"

Louise smiled slightly, but she was not at ease inside.

Does Griffin still not want to let Ye Xiao go?

Thinking of this, she suddenly pushed open the door and got out of the car.

"What are you going to do?"

Griffin was slightly annoyed and glared at Louise with displeasure.

"I want to be with my people."

Louise was not afraid at all and returned his cold self-shine.

"Hmph, well, you'd better watch yourself!"

Griffin, out of respect for Louise's father, originally intended to share some of the credit with her.

Unexpectedly, this woman was so tactless, not only mocking him at every turn, but even choosing to protect that Tokyo University student.

Griffin grew increasingly angry and ordered the convoy to continue forward.

Hmph, so what if they have a better starting point than others?

If I had those resources, how could I still only be a supervisor?

"Did you two have a fight?"

Seeing that Louise seemed a little unhappy, Ye Xiao casually asked.

"Well, it's a difference of opinion. Whoever wants the credit can have it."

Louise shook her head in annoyance, then suddenly commanded, "Come with me."

"Who?"

Seth looked at Ye Xiao in confusion, then at Louise, wondering who she was talking about.

"Ye, come with me."

"Um?

"..." Ye Xiao pointed to himself, puzzled.

Louise turned her head, her tone growing increasingly impatient: "I want to learn a foreign language, is that not allowed?"

"Yes, of course."

"Foreign languages ​​are great! I should learn them!"

Ye Xiao responded and could only helplessly follow Louise to the nearby mountain.

The view here is excellent; you can clearly see the derailed train in the distance, and plumes of white mist are leaking from the massive, leaking tank, gradually spreading into the sky.

Many staff members wearing protective suits were anxiously working on the perimeter.

"I don't understand, Ye."

Louise shook her head: "Why would these people put so many people in danger just for their own selfish desires?"

Of course you don't understand.

Ye Xiao looked at Louise and thought to himself.

She was born into a traditional political family; her ancestors followed Washington into China, fought against the British, and also had the blood of Native Americans.

Before Louise was born, everyone else had already suffered enough in her life, so all that was left was sweetness.

As long as she follows the steps, even if she is an idiot, she can gain a status and power that ordinary people can only dream of in their entire lives.

Therefore, Louise would never understand why there are ambitious men like Griffin and Charles.

Ye Xiao looked at the fleeing people and said in a low voice.

"Perhaps it's because they feel there's something more dangerous than this."

"Fuck!"

Louise cursed angrily and suddenly turned her head.

Only then did Ye Xiao notice that besides anger, there seemed to be some abnormal excitement in her eyes.

Wait, what's going on here?

Wasn't she just cursing those people?

"No, are you serious? Here?"

"What are you thinking about!"

Louise glared at Ye Xiao, then her tone suddenly changed, and she said with some dissatisfaction, "At least we should wait until we get back to the camp. There might be sentries watching us here."

Good grief, so they were afraid of being broadcast live?

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

In the following days, perhaps due to the immense pressure, Louise learned many exciting new tricks on her own, without Ye Chi's prompting.

Louise's self-destructive behavior is incredibly alluring, not to mention her natural affinity for uniforms.

But as the saying goes, one can only reap the rewards of others' happiness without experiencing their suffering firsthand.

While Ye Xiao was busy training the police dogs, Griffin and Charles on the other side were feeling extremely suffocated, as if they were trapped in a pressure cooker.

Just as Louise had asked before.

They had calculated everything and meticulously set up a near-perfect trap, but they forgot the most important question: would that guy who called himself the Yellow King really come to their rescue as they wished?

Griffin and Charles thought about it carefully and realized that the man had never made any statement all along.

They are called superheroes only because some of their actions align with the interests of the majority of the public.

Now, a crucial question lies before Griffin and his team.

What should they do if that person really doesn't come?

O
