Chapter 1,449: A New World that Is Changing with Each Passing Day (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe! Please Give Me a Recommendation Ticket!!)
Recently, the Earth has been really busy. The afterglow of the Skrull incident has not yet faded, and there have been incidents of fantasy creature invasions in various places. Some creatures that only exist in legends have begun to appear in the human world. However, the most common ones are still in New York and London. Wool
Let’s not talk about New York... This place has always been jokingly called the center of the universe, and everything can be related to it. However, some people on the Internet have summarized it and found that although New York has a lot of bad things, it is not the place where real destruction events happen.
For example, Miami, to be honest, Miami is not well-known in the world. It’s just that Americans think Miami is good. Just like when talking about France, people will think of Paris first, as for other cities, they need to think carefully to think of one or two.
In addition to drug dealers and Hispanic gangs, Miami really doesn’t have anything particularly surprising, and there are very few supernatural events. It’s rare to encounter one in a year. As a result, a group of Titans had a party there, and the whole city was gone...
In comparison, New York is so lucky!
There are always things, but there is no crisis at all!
People don't think too much about the deep-seated things, they just blame it on the fact that there are too many superheroes in New York!
This is indeed the case.
The existence of these superheroes has indeed protected New York.
The most typical example is the comparison between New York and London.
New York and London are the two cities that suffer the most from the invasion of fantasy creatures.
But when New Yorkers see London on international news, they don't feel that London is treated the same as themselves... London is too miserable. Many wealthy people in London have begun to move out of London, and the hollowing out is getting worse and worse.
In just this short period of time, thousands of people have been killed and injured in London, and this is the result of the British government's maintenance at all costs. Although Dai Ying has always been a fool in this aspect, even to the domestic people, he dares to fool them, but the problem is that those fantasy creatures don't reason with the government. No matter how much Dai Ying fools, those strange creatures still destroy everywhere in the city.
On the other hand, what about New York?
There were indeed casualties, less than a hundred people. A big city encountered such a big thing, but there were only these casualties... The New York government can definitely go to the church to burn incense and thank the gods. Rong
Of course, if you really want to burn incense, it is best to burn incense for those superheroes.
There is no way that there are too many superheroes in New York.
The four little spiders and Norman will dress up as the Green Goblin to help. In addition, the Defenders, the Special Forces, and some superheroes who came to New York to fight the Skrulls before did not leave, such as Frank, Logan, and Wade. In addition, the Hulk, the Ghost Rider Johnny, and Strange, who originally lived in New York, all together, there are at least twenty people.
By the way, Bruce is also a person who can't sit still. Although this is not his world, it is not his turn to fight criminals. He has no "law enforcement power", but fighting alien creatures does not need to be so clearly divided.
There is just a small problem.
Bruce's Batman costume has caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Although he saved people. Rong
But it has caused a lot of controversy.
The general public still has a certain goodwill towards Bruce's "copycat", but superhero fans are not like that. The status of Batman and the Knight King among these superhero fans is so high that ordinary people can't imagine it at all.
Although Bruce is also Batman.
But his fighting style and even his equipment are different from the Batman in this world.
This makes him a poor imitator.
This is blasphemy!
So there was a flood of criticism on the Internet.
And it also spread from the Internet to the real media.
In short, the discussion is very high.
Bruce is not a person who cares about evaluation, otherwise he wouldn't do this. But it's still a bit speechless, damn, I am Batman!
I feel offended.
In the end, it was Spider-Man who helped him clear his name.
It's not that he revealed his true identity. After all, parallel worlds are too ridiculous, and it's better for the public not to know.
It was just that he briefly accepted an interview with a media while doing chivalrous work, and said that Bruce was recognized by Batman. velvet
This has calmed down a lot of debates. Of course, fundamentalism is never lacking on the Internet... Harry Potter fans even kicked the author of Harry Potter out of the Harry Potter circle.
However, there are not many such people.
But most people still don't want to call Bruce Batman or Batman II, but give him a pretty good nickname.
The Dark Knight!
It sounds cool.
Bruce has a consolation.
Back to the point, because there are so many superheroes in New York, the invasion did not cause much damage to New York, and the people of New York also expressed that they were emotionally stable... Even because the financial center of London suffered , more international funds began to flow into New York for refuge.
Instead, it accelerated the prosperity of New York.
In fact, some economists have proposed the concept of superhero economy. After all, New York can maintain a fairly high growth rate when the United States is weak as a whole, which is inseparable from those superheroes.
As a result, New York citizens automatically and consciously began to defend those superheroes.
In the United States, it cannot be said that there are no forces and groups hostile to superheroes. In fact, there are quite a few. But at least in New York, there's really no hostility towards the superhero community.
Because they are not only linked to their safety, but also to the economy!
These two things are closely related to every New York citizen. Touching superheroes is touching their interests.
Americans are very sensitive to personal interests. Whoever touches their cheese, they dare to vote him out! 绒
This is a kind of interest binding.
Since ancient times, true feelings cannot be retained, only interests can move people's hearts.
This thing is much more powerful than doing good deeds to move people.
Although it is a bit utilitarian to say this, it feels that the original intention of superheroes to do good deeds has been blasphemed, but in fact, this is the reality. Superheroes come out to do good deeds, most of them have their own reasons, but none of them stand up to get external evaluation. They are more for self-satisfaction.
This is good. You can't say that doing good deeds does not ask for rewards, and you can't be self-satisfied in morality, right?
Those who really do good deeds without asking for anything are saints, and they only exist in legends.
Anyway, there is absolutely no such person in the real world. 绒
…
Devil's Island.
The Devil's Island here is not the Devil's Island in San Francisco.
The Alcatraz here refers to the Rikers Island prison in New York, where many fictional characters in movies are imprisoned. In reality, it is also a very dangerous and scary place. Rikers Island Prison is located on an island in the East River, between Queens and the Bronx, close to LaGuardia Airport, covering an area of up to 400 acres (65 square kilometers). It has a large number of cells and imprisoned about 11,000 people, many of whom are suspects awaiting trial.
Rikers Island Prison is not a good place. It is one of the ten most cruel prisons in the world.
This broken place has always had poor sanitary conditions and violence, and prisoners die almost every year. The cause of death of prisoners is mostly related to suicide, overdose of drugs, etc. A long time ago, there have been calls to demolish Rikers Island Prison. After all, it has always been known as a concentration camp in modern society.
In fact, the New York City government has also made efforts. 绒
But the effect was not great. Finally, under the promotion of this mayor, the city government finally decided to rectify it, such as abolishing the prison and taking out the land to build an airport.
But with the changes in the world environment, this prison still escaped the fate of being demolished.
The New York government intends to transform it into a modern super prison.
To detain those special prisoners.
The prison, which was originally used to imprison 11,000 people, has been extensively renovated, and the maximum number of prisoners has been reduced to 500.
In addition, more than 700 armed personnel have been stationed on the island as guards.
Its internal facilities have also been completely transformed by the Stark Group, and various high technologies have been applied to ensure that anyone imprisoned in it has no chance of escape. velvet
This configuration is not prepared for ordinary people at first glance.
Its "service" targets the most brutal and special prisoners.
So far, the number of people detained here does not exceed 100. It is definitely the top treatment!
Each one is a single room with a good environment!
Of course, such good treatment naturally comes at a price.
The guys imprisoned in it either have superpowers, such as some brutal mutants, or are aliens, such as those hunted by demon hunters, or are aliens... At present, there are only a few Skrulls, who are the remnants of the Skrulls after the secret war.
But there is no doubt that these guys have extremely high research value. 绒
The federal government is willing to pay a huge amount of money to the New York government for this.
However, the Stark Group and the Wayne Group did not participate in it, but were only responsible for the design and construction. The maintenance and research were not controlled by these two consortiums, but were completely handed over to the federal government.
Recently, a new batch of tea has arrived here.
Some trolls and giants.
This made the researchers very excited. Some unknown new species again.
"I need some intelligence, you can do whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you die, anyway, there will be more."
Kai led a group of people into this high-tech prison. 绒
Following him, it was Team X.
A special mutant force directly under the command of the US government.
Due to a series of changes, the US government has been strengthening the strength of this team. In fact, the organization of Team X has been expanded a lot.
I heard that the White House has planned to transfer the jurisdiction of Team X to the Secret Service, making it a special force under the direct command of the president.
Kai needs some intelligence, but these tough guys from other worlds in the Nine Realms are all very stubborn. Of course, it is more likely that they don’t understand the Earth language at all. So all along, intelligence collection has been very poor. So Kai can only ask for support, he is not omnipotent.
Thinking of this, Kai regretted that he should have asked Tony to focus on studying the universal translator on Star Lord and others. This kind of thing is very common in the universe. After all, there are so many civilizations in the universe, each of which has its own unique language, and most languages have nothing in common. Even many races have different structures of vocal organs.
In order to facilitate communication, the implantable universal translator came into being. 绒
When Star Lord and others were still there, someone did plan to study this. But in the end, they gave up.
First of all, the priority of researching this thing is not high. You put aside various interstellar materials, interstellar spacecraft engines, space jump engines and various high-techs, and researching translators is simply crazy, right?
Secondly, this thing has too high technological content!
That's right, this prop that is very common in the interstellar is actually very high in technological content! First of all, this thing is implanted and directly connected to the language system of the human brain. Just this alone requires a very high level of material science, engineering, biotechnology and other aspects to be done, let alone other aspects.
The time and manpower and material resources required to understand it are very terrible.
Finally, this thing is not very practical in application. The earth has no demand for this in the short term. The earthlings cannot leave for the time being, and the aliens come to the earth not for peace. Most of the time, everyone just starts working directly.
And after leaving, it seems that you can just buy it directly, and you don’t need to make it yourself. velvet
So this thing was directly ignored by everyone.
Who knows, this thing is needed at this moment.
There was no other way, so Kai had to think of a solution.
Fortunately, there were not many mutants with psychic abilities, but there were still some.
So Kai simply asked someone to come and help.
So the White House directly sent a team of mutants to assist Kai.
Oh, by the way, Scarlet Witch also came.
She also has this ability.
This girl is now employed by the Stark Group.
Originally, talents like her were unlikely to be employed by private groups, but this is the United States. Private armed forces are normal. Although mutants are a little troublesome, as long as the White House nods, there will be no problem.
"Let's get started!"
Soon a troll was driven over.
This kind of big guy is actually the most disliked prisoner by the prison guards. They are not easy to manage, and their abilities cannot be suppressed by means. For example, mutants only need to install ability suppressors to become ordinary people, but trolls are not like that. They are pure physical grids and cannot be restricted at all. They can only be injected with muscle relaxants and tranquilizers every day, and they are half dead. But in this case, it takes a lot of effort to clean them up every day.
The leader of the mutant team that came to New York on business this time was an acquaintance. velvet
Beast Boy Hank McCoy is the only survivor of the first generation of Team X. When the other members fought against the Hellfire Club, all of them died. Frank, who was in charge of training Team X at the time, was so angry that he directly pulled Kayla over to help him and finally dealt with the Hellfire Club.
After that, Hank became a veteran of Team X, and now after Frank left, he has become the leader of Team X.
Hank's mutant ability is very conspicuous... Just like the ancient apes, he has thick hands and feet, long blue hair all over his body, superhuman strength, can lift more than a ton of weight, he can easily climb brick walls, and can also fight on wire ropes. He also has the ability to secrete pheromones to attract the opposite sex. His hands and feet have sharp claws, he also has cat-like night vision and a slight healing factor, and he can recover quickly from common injuries and minor illnesses such as colds.
Moreover, Hank himself has a very high IQ and is proficient in professional knowledge such as human evolutionary biology, genetics, biochemistry, etc. He also dabbles in other scientific fields.
Super academic master.
"Jane, come on!"
Jean Grey is the biggest treasure of the X-Team. Jean Grey has the telepathic power to read other people's consciousness, control it according to her own consciousness, and can also read many kinds of consciousness at the same time. At the same time, she can use mental control ability to make the opponent lose consciousness in another personality. She has telekinesis, which can make various objects float lightly and manipulate them, can create power barriers, can fly, and can also stimulate the generation of hot molecules to create rapid shock waves.
She is the only Omega-level mutant discovered at this location.
A secret weapon of the X-Team.
However, because her awakening ability is still in the training stage and she is not proficient, the White House has always chosen to keep her in cold storage and let her grow slowly. But this time even she was arranged to come here, which shows that the White House still attaches great importance to Kai.
Following the order of the beast Hank.
A red-haired and green girl came out. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, just the age of high school. (A pure passerby character who will not have any role in the future, and naturally there will be no super-standard settings such as the Phoenix Force)
