Chapter 322 Hope in the Ruins

Just when Ai Lin frowned slightly.

The Seventh Uncle, who was more than ten meters away and commanded a group of young men from Zhongyi Hall to rescue a mother and daughter trapped in the mezzanine of a collapsed building, moved his left ear slightly, as if he heard something.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

When he saw Ai Lin, his somewhat turbid eyes suddenly lit up.

For Ai Lin.

As the head of Zhongyi Hall, the Seventh Uncle was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The familiarity was because of the Water Ghost Gang and Yuan Li's affairs. The Seventh Uncle basically investigated Ai Lin's experience and ancestors thoroughly.

Because of the natural advantage of Zhongyi Hall's entrenched position in Chinatown for a hundred years, he was familiar with Ai Lin, who grew up in Chinatown.

However, it was precisely because of this familiarity and understanding that the Seventh Uncle was even more unfamiliar with the changes that had taken place in Ai Lin in the past few months.

After experiencing the Water Ghost Gang incident.

The ordinary Chinese kid, as if he had turned on a cheat, had undergone a drastic change.

In just a few months, he had gained a powerful power beyond the ordinary, and was called a miracle magician.

Even his net worth had skyrocketed in a jaw-dropping way.

From an ordinary person who had a small fortune because of his elders.

In a blink of an eye, he became a medical genius who developed a miracle potion, and in a few months, he had worked hard to make tens of billions of net worth, becoming a big man that even the president of the federation had to pay attention to.

This change.

Even made the seventh uncle feel a strong sense of fear towards Ailin.

After living for decades and experiencing many ups and downs, the seventh uncle knew very well that this change was extremely abnormal.

It was precisely because of this that, whether it was because of Ailin's current power or the various troubles that might be hidden behind him.

Since then, the seventh uncle strictly prohibited people from Zhongyi Hall from contacting Ailin, for fear that he would be involved in some shocking conspiracy vortex and ruin the foundation accumulated by several generations of Zhongyi Hall for hundreds of years.

But today.

Uncle Seven took the initiative to lean on his crutches and walked towards Ailin quickly.

Although he was old and acted a little old-fashioned.

But Uncle Seven knew Ailin's current power, and he also knew more about the miraculous effects of the miracle potion and the magical biological treatment chamber that shocked the whole world some time ago.

Even because the children of Zhongyitang often have some injuries that are inconvenient to go to the hospital for treatment, Uncle Seven specially asked someone to go to Miracle Group to order three biological treatment chambers.

It's just that there are orders from violent organizations such as the Federal Military and SHIELD in front.

Zhongyitang, a gang that is at best only a little powerful in Chinatown, doesn't know when the orders will be placed.

It is precisely for this reason that when Uncle Seven heard the words such as treatment chamber and repair fluid just now, he quickly cast his eyes over.

And the things he heard from Ailin made Uncle Seven breathe faster.

In the war that swept New York today, Chinatown was badly damaged, and countless houses were affected and destroyed.

The number of dead and injured residents was also a terrifying number.

In addition to the neighbors who paid their "membership fees" on time in the territory of Zhongyi Hall, many families of Zhongyi Hall's children also suffered.

If Ailin really mobilized a large number of biological treatment chambers and miracle drugs to Chinatown as he said on the phone.

Then, with a large number of hospitals also destroyed by the war and medical resources in short supply, those miracle drugs and biological treatment chambers have become life-saving things.

For those neighbors who paid "membership fees" to Zhongyi Hall on weekdays, and the families of those young men in Zhongyi Hall.

Seventh Uncle also threw away his past concerns, leaned on his crutches, walked quickly to Ailin's side, and said:

"If it's about clearing roadblocks, our Zhongyi Hall boys and neighbors can help!"

Yes.

Looking at the Seventh Uncle who appeared in front of him, Ailin's eyes showed a trace of surprise, but before the Seventh Uncle opposite Ailin could be nervous for long, Ailin smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

··········

At the call of the Seventh Uncle.

More than 40 strong men ran out of Zhongyi Hall, and then according to the route of the Miracle Group's convoy, they cleaned up the streets in front of Chinatown, which were crowded with abandoned cars, collapsed houses, and fallen billboards.

Because the Seventh Uncle had publicized the batch of biological treatment warehouses and miracle potions that Ailin had transferred in advance, the men responsible for clearing the roads had no complaints at the moment, and they were full of motivation.

Even without other people urging them, one was more active than the other.

Because this matter was not only for the residents of Chinatown, but also for their own families.

Many of their families were injured in this war.

Some of them were injured and their lives were in danger.

At this time,

The Miracle Group's batch of biological treatment chambers and miracle medicines that have not yet arrived have become the lifeline of their families.

Looking at the strong men with red eyes not far away.

Uncle Seven sighed from afar.

[This old guy, this is all I can get for you. 】

Thinking of this, the old-looking Uncle Seven licked his face and walked towards Ailin again.

"Mr. Lin, the young men who went to help clear the road have family members injured in the disaster, and some are even in critical condition. Can you give priority to their families for treatment because they are working hard? Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. We are willing to pay double for the biological treatment chamber and repair fluid."

Looking at the majestic Uncle Seven of Zhongyi Hall, who was standing in front of him in an extremely humble manner.

There was an indescribable feeling that rose in Ailin's heart.

After a few seconds of silence.

Ailin nodded in the somewhat uneasy expression of Uncle Seven.

"When the Miracle Group's convoy arrives, their families will be given priority for treatment. This is what they deserve, but forget about the money. I didn't transfer these things here for money."

··········

After getting Ailin's affirmative answer.

The group of Zhongyitang disciples who were responsible for cleaning the streets worked even harder.

Because every minute they cleared a life channel earlier, their families could get treatment earlier.

As the news gradually came in.

More and more Chinatown residents spontaneously joined the team to clean up the streets, racing against time to clear a life channel for the upcoming batch of relief supplies.

Of course.

During this period, some black people living near Chinatown, after receiving the news, demanded that Ailin must give them half of the support in the name of racial discrimination, otherwise they would sue the Miracle Group for racial discrimination.

But before they could get close to Ailin.

A large group of Chinese who were waiting for this batch of miracle potions to save the lives of their injured families, led by some Zhongyitang disciples, covered the mouths of those black people and dragged them to the ruins of the nearby alley.

Accompanied by a few slight screams.

There were more bodies in the ruins of the collapsed alley.

The overseas Chinese who were able to survive in the Federation were not as kind as they seemed on the surface.

In addition to those who rushed into the alley.

Some residents also spontaneously destroyed all the few surveillance facilities nearby.

Without surveillance, who can prove that the bodies in the alley were not some unlucky citizens who died accidentally in this war?

"Too rough!"

Looking at the work done by this group of people, Uncle Qi shook his head dissatisfied.

The next second.

The person in charge of the cleanup in Zhongyi Hall took out the tools he carried with him and cleaned the scene again.

············

At the same time.

In order to characterize this war as soon as possible, and to give an explanation to people from all walks of life.

The federal government had to join forces with the military, the New York Police Department and other departments to hold a temporary press conference on the edge of the west side of Manhattan, which had become a ruin.

As Tony Stark, who personally experienced this war, and Natasha and others, became special guests of this press conference at the "invitation" of the government.

"The news release about the Chitauri invasion has ended. Next is the question-and-answer session. We have specially invited Mr. Tony Stark, Iron Man, as the special guest of this press conference. He will answer everyone's questions."

Said.

A New York congressman who survived the war turned around and handed the microphone in his hand to Tony Stark, who still had a band-aid on his face.

The moment Tony Stark appeared.

A large number of reporters instantly pressed the shutter of the camera.

For a while, the flash of the camera even pierced people's eyes.

Although Iron Man's performance was a bit lame in the later stage of this war, facing the terrifying evil god, the reporters present did not forget the heroic appearance of Iron Man going upstream and fighting against the Chitauri army with his own strength at the beginning of the portal opening.

Tony is not unfamiliar with press conferences.

Raised his right hand.

After blocking the dazzling light from the camera flash.

Tony casually pointed to a reporter he liked and planned to answer his question.

Unexpectedly, the other party's first question almost stumped Tony Stark.

"Mr. Stark, during the invasion of the Chitauri, you once called on us to enter the underground bunkers and shelters to avoid the nuclear bomb launched towards New York. Do you know why the government launched the nuclear bomb towards New York after the war?"

As soon as the reporter asked the question.

Without waiting for Tony Stark to answer.

The New York congressman who had just stepped down from the stage immediately rushed forward and grabbed the microphone in Tony's hand, saying: "In fact, the original intention of the nuclear bomb was to destroy the Chitauri behind the space portal. However, the federal government did not expect that before the nuclear bomb arrived, the portal leading to the Chitauri base camp was closed by the efforts of Iron Man and others, so this was just an accident..."

The reporter did not buy the answer of the New York City councilman.

He even took out a satellite photo taken by a satellite with the launch time of the nuclear warhead printed on it.

"Accident? Haha, according to the images captured by the satellite, before the nuclear bomb was launched, the portal over New York had been destroyed and was shrinking and collapsing. Calculated according to the collapse speed of the space portal, There is no way that the nuclear bomb could have been shot into the portal before it disappeared, so are you trying to say that the people in the federal government are a bunch of idiots who waste taxpayers' money and can't find this out?"

The senior reporter from Global Daily, who was also a member of New York, was on the front line of the battle regardless of his own safety, filming the battle in New York remotely.

It is precisely because of this that I almost died under the nuclear bomb launched by the government.

This reporter is so angry.

Facing the reporter's question, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the New York City Councilman's forehead subconsciously.

This question is not easy to answer.

However, for the sake of the government’s face, he could only forcefully explain:

"This was really just an accident. No one knows why the portal collapsed so quickly. Besides, in addition to the invading Chitauri, we also faced the threat of a powerful monster."

Facing the New York congressman’s explanation, another reporter took advantage of the opportunity and said coldly: “So, the main purpose of the federal government launching nuclear bombs was to deal with that terrible monster. But in order to deal with that monster, the federal government could ignore it. The lives of tens of millions of New York citizens, by launching a nuclear bomb?”

If it weren't for the seraph's rescue, tens of millions of people in New York would have been killed by that nuclear bomb.

This question is almost ten million times more pointed than the last reporter's statement. A bad answer may trigger countless people to riot.

By then, he will definitely become the target of the federal government's blame.

In order not to be blamed for this.

The New York congressman rolled his eyes and fainted.

Facing the New York congressman who pretended to be faint, Tony Stark curled his lips in disdain, and then said: "Obviously, this guy doesn't want to answer this question, so you should ask about other things!"

Faced with the New York City Councilman who had no regard for face and pretended to be faint, the reporters present had no good solution.

After a short while of silence.

Another reporter asked aloud: "Mr. Stark, according to the satellite images we captured, the man who summoned the Seraphim and solved the nuclear bomb crisis was none other than the miraculous magician Sir Aylin. With you and him? Do you know his identity a long time ago?"
