After the eye catching red words disappeared, a clear image appeared on the phone screen. From the picture, it was easy to tell it was a small town. In the corner of the screen, a line of text floated up: Sylvester Town.
Soon after, Homelander appeared in the footage. You could see that blue figure arriving above the town.
As Homelander's eyes lit up with golden light, the image began to shake, as if it were being interfered with.
Suddenly, Homelander fired a stream of golden light. That beam looked extremely scorching, so hot that flames rose even in midair.
The beam shot toward the ground, but suddenly curved and struck toward the town square instead.
The camera quickly moved and zoomed in. It was not hard to see a circus tent standing in the square.
In front of the tent stood a fat man. The fat man opened his mouth and actually swallowed Homelander's beam of light.
Seeing this scene, the owner of the phone, a young woman, could not help covering her mouth and letting out a cry, "Oh my God."
The following footage was clearly fast forwarded, letting the young woman quickly see large numbers of pitch black, hairless 'people' with eyes emitting frightening red light pouring out of the town.
Those 'people' rushed out of the town in a crazed manner, like wild beasts, like monsters.
Outside the town, the army tried to intercept them, but with very little effect.
At the critical moment, it still had to be the Seven who stepped in.
This video recorded the entire course of the Sylvester Town incident in great detail. It ended with Homelander blasting golden light toward the ground, triggering an explosion, stirring up blazing flames, and finally swallowing the town that had been occupied by evil.
At the very end of the video, lines of red text floated up.
[I believe that as long as you are not blind, you can see that if Homelander had not taken part in what happened in Sylvester Town, if the Seven had not stepped in to suppress it.]
[Relying on the military alone, there was simply no way to stop those black monsters.]
[But whether it is the military or the government, they have chosen to keep completely silent about this matter.]
[They avoid the important issues and focus on the trivial ones, pointing the blame at Homelander for damage to buildings and public facilities.]
[I want to ask the authorities, if Homelander had not acted this time, would you have been able to stop this disaster?]
[Or were you planning to deploy weapons of mass destruction on home soil, just like you often do?]
[I am Charlie Edson. This footage was captured accidentally by my friends and me.]
[I swear on my life that this video has absolutely not been faked. If you do not believe it, you can test the video.]
[I only ask that the authorities give everyone the truth!]
[Also, to everyone who sees this video, I sincerely hope you will take a moment to share it.]
[Share it with your friends, share it with your colleagues, let more people see the truth of what happened.]
[If today we do not speak up for Homelander, then tomorrow the same thing will fall upon our own heads!]
After watching the video, the young woman shook her head, "This is too much. How many facts has the government been hiding?"
"They actually want to use us to create public opinion, use us to all go after Homelander, to go after the person who has been quietly protecting us all this time!"
Angrily, the woman forwarded the video to all her groups.
And similar scenes were playing out in New York, and even across the entire country.
———
[Department of Homeland Security]
A senator so bloated around the waist that he could not even see his own feet was smiling as he looked at Deputy Director Hansen sitting on the sofa, "Looks like our Homelander does not plan to show up."
"Vought has also closed all external channels. Whether online or offline, they are refusing to disclose any information."
"Right now Edgar probably wants nothing more than to kill Homelander, to kill the madman he personally propped up."
Deputy Director Hansen curled his lips slightly, "Just now, Vought's stock price dropped by seven percentage points. Their board members are probably losing their minds."
"Senator Hope, you really can see things coming. How did you know Homelander would not attend the hearing?"
The flesh on the senator's face trembled, "Hmph! That bastard."
"Back then on the plane, he did not even spare me a glance."
"I am still a senator, but in his eyes, I was like an ant at his feet!"
"That made me understand that those superhuman bastards do not take us ordinary people seriously at all."
"They are arrogant and conceited. Especially Homelander. If he showed up at the hearing, that would be the same as admitting his mistakes!"
"So I bet that superpowered bastard would definitely be absent."
Director Hansen clapped his hands and said, "No wonder you strongly pushed to take Homelander to the Supreme Court. So from the very beginning, Senator Hope already had victory in hand."
The senator burst into laughter, then lowered his voice, "Director Hansen, later on, about that Olga Corporation matter, I will still need you to help me persuade those old diehards in the Department of Defense."
Director Hansen smiled, "Naturally."
The two looked at each other and smiled. And all of this fell into the eyes of a Homeland Security staff member in the corner.
That person lightly tugged at his tie. Inside the tie, an almost imperceptible glimmer of light flashed.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Director Hansen's secretary hurried in, leaned close to his ear, and said something. Hansen's expression immediately changed.
"What is it?", Senator Hope asked.
Director Hansen did not answer. He stood up and shouted, "Turn on the TV. Switch to channel forty five."
Very quickly, the television in the office lit up and images appeared on the screen.
Large numbers of pitch black 'people' with glowing red eyes were madly charging at the army's defensive lines.
Even though the soldiers were actively attacking, even though there was assistance from superhumans.
They still could not stop that frenzied, surging black tide!
The senator suddenly stood up, his fat jiggling wildly, "Th-this how can..."
Director Hansen said with a gloomy face, "Someone posted this video online, stirring up the public and creating public opinion, pointing the spearhead at the authorities."
Sure enough, the next moment.
A news anchor appeared on the screen.
["Big news!"]
["Big news!"]
["Ladies and gentlemen, this is a video that has just gone viral on the internet."]
["From the video, it seems that the authorities really did hide something."]
["Could it be that Homelander ignoring military orders and recklessly intervening in military affairs was actually to stop a disaster that no one knew about?"]
["Could it be that the conflict between Homelander and the military was only because the situation was urgent and there was no time to waste, leading to all kinds of misunderstandings?"]
["Could it be that the Security Bureau's accusations against Homelander are meant to cover up their own incompetence?"]
["My God, this is just too ugly, too despicable!"]
The muscles at the corner of Director Hansen's mouth twitched as he snorted, "These bastards really dare to say anything!"
At this moment, the anchor on the screen said, ["There is more. Our reporter Flower Memi has found soldiers who took part in this operation. Now let us hand the camera over to Memi and hear what the soldiers who were on the scene have to say."]
Director Hansen's expression changed instantly. He pointed at the secretary and shouted, "Contact Colonel Yuri immediately. Tell him to keep his subordinates' mouths shut!"
