Chapter 1432: Subtle Changes In New York

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

But Mindy clearly didn’t feel the same, and was even enjoying it.

After becoming a 1-star teammate, she had shared a lot of experience and credit points with Luke.

Thus, Luke was in no position to criticize, and felt helpless.

Then, Frank found a suitable opportunity to send Mindy away, and beat Damon up in the combat training room in the Bat Cave.

Only Luke and Frank knew how Damon was beaten up.

Although he looked wretched, he wasn’t seriously injured.

Luke didn’t even need to use Light of Life, and Damon was able to go home on his own after resting for ten minutes.

But no severe injuries and no pain were two different things.

Frank stopped Luke from immediately treating Damon with a meaningful look, nor did Damon ask for it.

In fact, when he accepted Frank’s request for a spar, it seemed he had understood something, and he didn’t say anything.

After being beaten up, there was no resentment on his face, but a sense of loss.

Mindy passed her days even more happily after that.

Her father, who used to nag her all the time, had become a lot quieter.

He put down his drawing tools and took her around New York in his spare time.

When Mindy asked him why he was doing this, he simply said, “If we don’t see them now, we won’t be able to see some of these places after they’re damaged in the future.”

Mindy accepted this explanation. After all, there had been a lot of things happening in New York recently, and Batman was even preparing for a new battle.

Given how meticulous these preparations were, the chaos caused by this new battle would definitely be no less than what happened in the attack by the test subjects.

Luke finally relaxed.

If Frank’s daughter was still alive, she would be almost ten years old. It wasn’t strange that seeing Mindy reminded him of his unpleasant past.

It was better for him to vent his anger than keep it to himself.

If this conflict carried over during battle and affected Frank’s command, Damon might die.

…

After a lot of complications, September passed and it was now fall in New York.

Leaves started to turn yellow, and people put on thicker clothes.

The attack by the test subjects was basically winding down in public consciousness.

While there was still a fair amount of discussion on traditional media and the Internet, a lot of attention had shifted away from it.

Even Batman couldn’t always hold the attention of the restless crowd.

More people started to throw themselves into other activities to enjoy.

For example, Titanium had released a few new games for killing time on their phones.

Sheerah might appear at Times Square again at Christmas.

Tony Stark had been in “monk mode” for a year.

And it was slightly unexpected that Mike Soderberg was reelected as the mayor of New York.

From the way things had been going, it had seemed that this bigshot who had already been reelected twice would step down from office.

But reality proved that Mr. Soderberg was still a bigsot.

It might have something to do with the major events that had happened previously.

In the face of so many disasters, everyone had the feeling that instead of choosing a new mayor to take the stage, they may as well trust this old hand.

At the very least, New York had been greatly affected by several major events, but the New York authorities had performed well.

After experiencing these huge dangers, the citizens’ desire for stability exceeded their anticipation of a better future.

After all, that future would have nothing to do with them if they were dead.

Would a new mayor reduce the number of people who had died from the attack by the test subjects? The answer was clearly no.

Naturally, nobody was interested in Soderberg’s opponent.

Under these circumstances, few people cared about the news of Nelson taking office as NYPD’s new commissioner.

Just like with Soderberg, would a new commissioner necessarily mean that NYPD could take down the test subjects? The answer was still no.

The Police Chief becoming the commissioner made sense.

In this atmosphere, Commissioner Nelson made a big move.

NYPD began to give all police officers new emergency disaster relief training, and various departments took turns carrying out drills.

The project was supported by Stark Industries and Titanium Phone Company.

The two companies didn’t just give monetary support, but also donated a fair amount of new equipment, which significantly improved NYPD’s strength in terms of hardware and software.

Some of the NYPD officers who were injured in the previous attack were also given special aid, such as Detective Misty from the 15th Precinct. She now had an advanced prosthetic arm from Stark Industries. It was very practical and wasn’t inferior to a real arm.

Based on how they had performed, other officers were also helped accordingly. NYPD and the two companies did their best to help these people get back on their feet.

Commissioner Nelson and the two companies’ popularity skyrocketed among NYPD officers.

Nobody would hate being given a little more assurance, especially after they were crippled.

The tide of police officers leaving the force finally slowed down.

At the same time, a lot of professional knowledge on responding to emergencies started to appear in traditional media and on the Internet.

It was clear information on how to discern all kinds of danger and how to ensure one’s safety.

This indeed intrigued many people.

It was like how knowledge on what to do in an earthquake spread throughout the country after the California earthquake.

People were always quick to understand and remember things when their lives were at stake, in order to avoid running into similar situations.

Naturally, this was thanks to Luke.

It would be a waste if he didn’t use F2F and social media circles to spread the word.

One could imagine how deep an impact this could have on ordinary people – just look at how pseudoscience had spread among the public in his previous life.

It took nothing to spread this survival knowledge.

He also made use of the rescue foundation, which was only officially unveiled in October.

It already had a public account authorized by Batman’s team, which was updated with this sort of general survival knowledge every day.

How did it prove that this authority was real? This public account held a lottery every now and then, and the winners received special prizes from Batman’s team of superheroes.

The prizes included enchanted bat darts, Black Cat’s baton, Electric Cable’s personal autograph, Iron Cage King’s fighting tips, Pink Bear’s handicraft, the Ninja Squad’s 100 secret ways to make a cheese pizza, and so on.

Tony Stark was the guarantor, and the foundation also released a video announcement by Batman, as the superheroes’ representative, with Tony in attendance as a witness.

Of course, those two were the only ones at the scene, while Jarvis was in charge of filming.

All the prizes came with a unique serial number and a certificate of proof which guaranteed their authenticity and made them difficult to fake.

At the same time, the prizes were random. There was no guarantee that they would be the same in the future..
