My days as a landlord in Gotham

Detroit, a city that rises because of the prosperity of the automobile industry in the United States, is also a city that declines because of the decline of the automobile industry in the United States.

Although as a big city, Detroit no longer has the prosperity of the past, but as an ordinary city, Detroit still retains a trace of face in the decline.

While large numbers of the middle class and the affluent have moved out of the city, an even greater number of the working class and the poor are stuck here.

After all, for them, the cost of moving is not so easy to bear.

Due to the evacuation of wealthy families, Detroit's tax revenue has been unable to make ends meet. Even with federal and state government funding, the city government declared bankruptcy after struggling for a period of time.

Now in the entire city of Detroit, only a few sheriffs and administrators dispatched by the state government are maintaining the basic operations of the city government. As for other public facilities and benefits, don't even think about it.

No one cleared the snow on the road, and no one dealt with the frozen corpses. At this moment, the whole city looked like a deserted ice world.

And in this white silent world, a convoy appeared.

The entire convoy was armed, and there were some strange-looking planes escorting them in mid-air.

However, the convoy did not enter the urban area, but stopped on a rather open land in the suburbs.

The convoy and planes formed a formation to surround the place, and then some people got out of the car.

They were wearing special military uniforms, which were not thick but seemed to be enough to keep them warm.

"James, have we surrounded the target yet?"

The leading Asian youth asked the people around him.

"The siege is complete, sir!"

James replied, "We can execute the 'Nemesis Project' any time!"

"Sir, we seem to be surrounded."

Just as Li Lei was about to give an order, another person said.

Li Lei looked around, and sure enough, nearby werewolf tribes gathered around.

These werewolves did not step forward, but they vaguely surrounded the entire SSA operation department.

They watched Li Lei and the others silently. The pressure still made everyone a little uncomfortable.

Li Lei snorted coldly, took out his magic wand, and suddenly a majestic magic power was released from the wand.

These magical powers fell between the SSA operation and the werewolves, forming a wall of fire about 10 meters high and 5 meters wide.

These fires are Fiendfyre, a flame of cursed nature.

Fiercefire will not only burn the body of the creature, but also cause irreversible damage to the soul of the creature.

Even werewolves who know nothing about magic know Fiendfyre's power, for the fear is etched deep in their memories.

"Now, start our Nemesis operation!"

Li Lei ordered.

Seeing that the chief of the bureau blocked the surrounding werewolves outside with great power, the people from the SSA operation department immediately launched a clean-up operation against the besieged werewolf tribe.

Although Li Lei looked ahead, he kept sensing the movement of the werewolf behind the firewall.

Although this wall of fire of his own is powerful, it also needs strong magic support. If these werewolf tribes use sacrificial tactics to deal with themselves, then this wall of fire may really be broken through.

But the biggest difference between a werewolf and a wolf is that a werewolf has the inferiority of a human, but loses the absolute organization of a wolf and the absolute obedience of a wolf.

Although the werewolf tribe also has a werewolf, if the werewolf ordered the werewolf to sacrifice for the tribe, the werewolf could refuse.

If it is a wolf, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.

Although Li Lei's Firewall was scary, a gap was opened by sacrificing a dozen werewolves. The werewolf tribes on the scene lost more than a hundred werewolves in total. This sacrifice is actually acceptable.

It's just a pity that a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Lei's mouth.

Werewolves are indeed a group with powerful fighting power. If it is in the cold | weapon | age, human beings often need to pay a heavy price to defeat werewolves.

But after entering the era of heat|weapon|weapons, the offensive and defensive disadvantages of humans and werewolves have been reversed.

Especially under the attack of modern weapons, werewolves have almost no qualifications to provoke humans.

So it only took about half an hour for the SSA Operations to clean up all the werewolves in the tribe, not even the werewolf cubs.

After the operation, people from the SSA Operations Department gathered all the werewolf corpses together and set them on fire.

"Everyone returned to their armored vehicles, and all personnel remained on the highest alert. If werewolves attack us, I allow all units to launch indiscriminate and free attacks on all werewolf tribes."

Li Lei ordered.

When the convoy was assembled and the planes took to the sky to be on alert, Li Lei removed the firewall.

The surrounding werewolf tribes did not leave, and the bloody smell of the wiped out werewolf tribes made them more irritable.

It's just that they only dared to glare at the SSA operatives, but they didn't have the guts to launch an attack.

The SSA convoy slowly left the city of Detroit, protected by air power.

Although there was a werewolf roar behind him, it was just a roar.

After returning to the SSA headquarters, Li Lei submitted the action report to the US government and the Human Committee.

Originally, Li Lei's SSA was only a part of the US intelligence system under the US federal government, but due to the relationship between this department and the Justice League and other reasons, the SSA has also become an agency of the Human Council.

Therefore, many SSA action reports now have to be submitted in two, which are reviewed by the US government and the human committee respectively.

The US government and the Human Council have no objections to the SSA's Nemesis operation, and they also feel that it is necessary to beat the magic race.

To Li Lei's surprise, the Supreme Council, which had been silent for a long time, sent a protest email to SSA through the contact channel.

Li Lei is disgusted with this organization composed of various magical races.

Because the Supreme Council sees humans as being protected by them, humans must show humility to the magical race.

It is also for this reason that at the end of the 19th century, the US government formed the Council of Wizards of North America in an attempt to replace the Supreme Council.

But unfortunately, this idea was not realized, and finally merged into the Bureau of Supernatural and Superpowers after more than a century of tepid operation.

Since the North American Council of Wizards was merged into the SSA, the Supreme Council, which was originally in contact with the North American Council of Wizards, seemed to have disappeared, and it never had any contact with humans.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Supreme Council, the wizards of the North American Council of Wizards are still qualified to contact them, but the humans of the SSA?

Then forget it!

Li Lei didn't know what qualifications this group of magical races had to look down on humans. After all, their understanding of humans was still in the Middle Ages.

Even the magical race not only does not know that human beings have experienced the Renaissance and Enlightenment in thought; they have experienced three industrial revolutions in science and technology.

It can be said unceremoniously that human beings have countless ways to deal with magical races, and even wipe them out easily.

But in the eyes of the magic race, humans are still weak, and they can bully and deceive at will.

In the history of mankind, many countries were short-sighted and chose to close their doors. As a result, the international community taught these countries to be human every minute.

But the magic race did not have this kind of thing, so they continued to close their eyes and ignore the development of human society.

Li Lei's mana is already among the best among wizards, but if he faces a platoon of regular combat troops, he dare not say that he can agree; if it is a company, Li Lei thinks that he can escape completely. .

"Ignore the protest of the 'Supreme Council' and inform them that we do not recognize their existence."

Li Lei ordered someone to reply.

"But you can let them bring a message to other magical races.

Since they live on the land controlled by humans, they must abide by the laws of humans.

If we know about their violations, then we will definitely take corresponding measures against them.

If they dare to take the initiative to attack and retaliate against human beings, then don't say that they were unpredictable! "

Li Lei's reply was sent to the Supreme Council, which naturally aroused their anger.

It's just that the Supreme Council was ransacked by Riddle once first, and its power has long since declined.

The reason why Li Lei just sent a letter of inquiry this time is also because of some internal opinions.

The Supreme Council has long lost the control it had in the past, and the magic races regard it as a dispensable decoration.

The members of the Supreme Council also know this situation, but they don't want to admit it.

These congressmen once planned an attack against Li Lei, but this attack was not registered in the files of the Supreme Council, and Li Lei did not pursue it afterwards.

Although Li Lei now knew the truth of the matter, he still kept a clear line between public and private, and did not bring his feelings of being attacked to work.

Otherwise, Li Lei would directly take the action team to the headquarters of the Supreme Council and attack them in a destructive manner.

It's just that Li Lei's tolerance this time indulged the conspirators in the Supreme Council, and a conspiracy against Li Lei was quietly taking shape.

For the moderates in the Supreme Council, the closing of the door to peace talks by humans is undoubtedly a fatal blow to them.

"Whether the 'moderate faction' or the 'radical faction' of the Supreme Council is fundamentally the same."

In an internal meeting, Li Lei refuted some remarks that he wanted to keep in touch with the moderates, "The 'radicals' blatantly look down on us humans and want to treat us humans as their slaves; but what about the 'moderates'?

They look down on us humans from the bottom of their hearts, and their kindness to us is just to hope that we will change from their slaves to their pets.

Whether we are their hounds or their pet dogs, we end up being their dogs. Do you accept the end result? "

After Li Lei exposed the lies of the Supreme Council, a consensus was reached within the Administration of Supernatural and Superpowers.

Despite the heavy pressure of the SSA, in the face of extremely bad weather, cases of werewolves and other magical creatures attacking humans are on the rise.

Fortunately, these cases are all independent cases, and it is not that certain races are connected internally.

But there are many things, and the pressure on the US government is also rising.

Faced with Mr. President's questioning, Li Lei could only respond with a wry smile.

January is the coldest month in the continental United States, and the average temperature in January this year has dropped to minus 1 degrees Celsius.

According to the usual human cognition, this should be similar to the weather in Alaska.

But now?

Not just in New York State, but in Northern California as a whole.

The zero-degree Celsius line of the entire American continent has been pushed south to New Mexico and southern Texas.

The author has something to say: There was a thunderstorm yesterday, so I had to take the initiative to cut off the power and the internet.

When my mother was playing with her mobile phone, when there was lightning and thunder, she felt shocked.

Fortunately, the weather has turned better today.
