Chapter 337 (1/2)
In less than five minutes, the live broadcast will officially begin. At that time, he will formally put forward the mutant Registration Bill, requiring the national military to start checking the mutants and force them to register.
This practice is like putting a dog tag on a pet dog, which limits the personal freedom and human rights of the mutant. It is chiguoguo's contempt.
The White House is heavily guarded. Due to the last attack on the Oval Office, the White House has stepped up its protection efforts. The reporters and photographers in charge of the live TV network on the inner three floors and the outer three floors are also allowed to enter only after they have been repeatedly checked. Let alone strangers, even a fly will be killed with insecticide by the agents who are waiting for them.
Soon, while discussing the wording of the speech with his assistant, Ellis went to the Oval Office.
”I'm going to talk about the Oval Office attack, and all kinds of phenomena that almost made us disappear and die across the world, and so on. Would you like to use the word” completely disappear ”here, or I'm thinking about it?”
As Ellis got familiar with the content of the speech, he walked into the office. Now the reporters and photographers had set up the machine, and the word extractor was ready.
”Good morning.” Ellis met the associated press, stepped forward, shook hands with them, and said hello.
”Hello, Mr. President.” The Associated Press reporter stood up and said hello. Although the media can scold, question and even joke on the president, the etiquette of meeting the president should also be well done.
Both sides are old cooperators. These old associated press reporters have been responsible for the interview and live broadcast of Ellis. After greeting, Ellis sat in his seat, and the female assistant next to him came up to make up.
”I'm ready.” Ellis nodded to the photographer to signal that the camera was ready to start.
Soon, the deputy chief editor in charge of the broadcast camera nearby, with a pair of headphones, signaled to Ellis: ”5 seconds countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”
The red light on the camera indicates that it has entered the working state, and the subtitles on the word extractor begin to roll.
”My fellow Americans, in this time of adversity, we have ushered in a critical moment, when we need to recognize the growing threat among us and play a unique role in human history...”
Boom!
There was a thunderous roar outside. The screen of the word extractor flickered a few times and turned black. The red indicator light of the camera began to go out.
Thinking that something was wrong with the machine, Ellis, who had undergone the live broadcast failure training and drill, still kept the posture of being on the live broadcast, and his face was still calm. At the same time, he asked in a voice, ”what happened? Is it still live? ”
No one answered.
Ellis noticed that the reporters and bodyguards in front of him were as motionless as time. All of them remained motionless, holding the posture of the previous second. Ellis's face was slightly heavy, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The sky outside quickly darkened. At the same time, the lights in the room flashed a few times and suddenly went out. It was dark around. Alice looked at the lightning outside and turned around with a feeling.
