Chapter 1761 New York Features (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!)
Meira is not a woman who knows nothing. Naturally, she will not play the game of the princess in distress traveling around the market. She really wants to have some fun outside. This time, she finally accepted Queen Atlanna's request to come to the surface to perform the mission. Even if others know, they will not say anything. After all, Queen Atlanna has a high status. Not only because the Kingdom of Atlantis is the most orthodox successor of the former Atlantis Empire, so the king of the Kingdom of Atlantis has always had a high status in the underwater world, but also because she brought back the golden trident that was once inherited by the Atlantis Empire!
This is also the most powerful gift given by the sea god Poseidon to the Atlanteans, the legendary - Neptune's Trident!
A divine weapon that can command the entire ocean.
This gives Atlanna the qualification to rule the entire ocean. If Atlanna wants, she can completely complete the feat that Orm wanted to accomplish before and unify the entire underwater world! After all, having this thing is equivalent to having a strong claim to the entire underwater world, which is more powerful than the claim of Atlanna's bloodline.
When Orm wanted to unify the seven seas, he had to marry the Kingdom of Zebel. But Atlanna didn't need it.
But Atlanna didn't, which made the other major kingdoms feel relieved. Especially the Fisherman's Kingdom... This country was conquered by Orm directly by force before, and even the heir was sent to the front line as a soldier... The idea was to rely on the war to let the last heir of the Fisherman's Kingdom die directly on the battlefield, so that Orm would have no worries.
But Atlanna directly returned the Fisherman's Kingdom to the Princess of the Fisherman's Kingdom who looked more like a fish than a human...
This made Atlanna's reputation in the sea even higher. After all, neither Mela's father nor the mermaid princess wanted to lose their kingdom. Of course, deep down, they also felt that the queen was a little silly... But the more so, the more they would give her face.
It's better to be a little silly, it's better to be a little silly.
If she suddenly felt that everyone didn't give her face and suddenly wanted to play 'Six Kings, Four Seas One', then it wouldn't be fun. So everyone had to coax her, whether it was out of practical interests or out of respect for tradition.
Anyway, it doesn't cost much, so why not?
In short, Meila found a very good excuse, and she naturally wanted to come out and have a good time.
Even if there are any problems, they can be pushed onto Queen Atlanna. Who can confront the queen?
So Meila just swaggered on the street and played human society seriously.
Fortunately, this is New York, and there won't be any strange riots because of a girl in strange clothes walking on the street.
After all... there really shouldn't be too many of these things.
For example, the chatterbox high school student wearing red and blue pajamas swinging between the buildings...
Huha! ! !
Meila was walking on the street and suddenly heard a strange cry.
Then she saw a weird man in red and blue tights swinging from a distance between the high-rise buildings.
The pedestrians on the ground didn't react much... After all, you can see this guy almost every weekend, and sometimes you can see him on weekdays. You see him too many times, so you get used to it. Just like the pigeons in Times Square, everyone is used to it, so there is no special feeling.
At most, there are some outsiders who shout and scream with an ignorant look on their faces.
The New York Times once described: How do you distinguish between real New Yorkers and outsiders in New York?
Those who shout and scream when seeing superheroes are definitely outsiders.
Those who see people rushing to the subway with coffee in their hands with an indifferent face are definitely New Yorkers.
Meila has never seen it, so she stretched her neck to look far away.
And under the red and blue tights, there was a commotion.
There were constant sounds of cars crashing and screams of people running away.
Faced with such a situation, New Yorkers and outsiders were divided into two rows again. New Yorkers calmly quickened their pace and left the place, either walking into the building next to them or running directly to the open space with fewer people.
And outsiders wanted to be more diverse.
They either wanted to watch the fun like Meila.
Or they ran around like headless flies, and some people got in the car and ran away immediately... In fact, locals all know that at this time, you'd better not drive, because there is a high possibility of traffic jams, and if you are stuck in the middle, it will be more dangerous.
On the contrary, running alone is more likely to avoid being affected.
This is a profound lesson!
In fact, there have been people making guides on the Internet - New York Travel Escape Guide...
Although it looks a bit nonsensical, it is indeed very useful. After all, anything can happen in this magical land of New York.
After all, here, alien invasions can be encountered, what else can't be encountered? And twice!
After a while, Meila and a group of idle people finally saw what was going on.
It turned out that Spider-Man was chasing a weirdo.
"That guy looks like Frankenstein!"
A tourist-like guy next to Meila, holding up his mobile phone, saw the weirdo running away like a bull on the street, and immediately shouted.
Meila didn't know what Frankenstein was, but someone nearby knew and immediately agreed.
This guy really does look like Frankenstein.
He was unusually tall, at least two meters tall. The average height of Europeans and Americans is indeed higher than that of people in other regions, but strong men who are two meters tall are still very rare. Two meters tall, don't look at it as only two meters, but when you really stand in front of you, you will know how big a difference this thing is.
He was wearing a slim black suit, and his limbs were unusually sturdy. It made him look not so tall, but his body shape was still daunting.
Of course, this is not to say, what really makes people feel incredible is his head.
Not only is it bigger than ordinary people, the key is that the whole head is long and narrow, especially the forehead, which is very high and square!
So at first glance, it really looks like Frankenstein.
That is a classic shape, almost everyone knows it.
"Really! Ignorant is ignorant, that's a hammer head! A few days ago, they had a fight with the police and were on the news! The New York police also issued a wanted order before." The knowledgeable person immediately laughed.
Hammerhead, whose real name is Joseph Harrow, is a Russian immigrant to the United States and one of the biggest gangsters in New York.
The city of New York will not lack anything without gangs.
After all, gangs are still economic organizations after all, and they are always for money. Will New York lack opportunities to make a fortune? Of course not, so even if the gangs in New York have been hit several times and many large gangs have been defeated, the gaps they left will naturally be replaced by someone, because no one will give up this city!
From the perspective of world history, the United States has always been hailed as the safest country in the world, because after the establishment of the United States, it has developed the fastest and the country has risen to a superpower the fastest. Moreover, the United States has the most powerful army in the world, which is enough to shake the world, and even the United States has not experienced several war attacks. Therefore, the security of the United States is recognized by the world, which is also the main reason why so much capital flows to the United States from all over the world.
But is this really the case?
The answer is yes and no.
Is capital safer in the United States than in other countries? The answer is yes. Because the United States itself is a capitalist country, they are naturally friendly to capital. For its own interests, the United States will also protect the safety of those capitals.
But is the United States really safe?
The answer is no!
The United States became a superpower after World War II, and its national strength was extremely strong, so the American society was stable, and the capital chasing from all over the world made the United States continue to prosper. But now we see that American society is becoming more and more turbulent. Not only are internal conflicts fierce, but there are constant demonstrations, and even looting and burning, and violent incidents are constantly occurring. Especially the conflicts between ethnic minorities are sharp, and the people are increasingly dissatisfied with the government. Just one election is enough to cause social unrest.
In fact, there is only one fundamental reason, only four words, that is, "the gap between the rich and the poor." We know that the reason why the United States can attract so many immigrants from all over the world is actually the fairness, justice and security provided by American society, and everyone has the opportunity to develop. However, as the separation of powers develops to this day, American politics and interests are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few politicians, capitalists, and social elites.
Now it is more about the transfer and exchange of interests rather than checks and balances of power. This means that no matter which party comes to power, the final result is that the vested interests continue to expand and the interests continue to increase, while the people cannot obtain benefits except for participating in voting. Therefore, American society is showing increasing unfairness and polarization, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.
The obvious trend in the United States is that the American elite class is getting richer and richer, and they have a lot of wealth. However, ethnic minorities and the general public are getting poorer and poorer, and the whole phenomenon is extremely unequal.
This inequality has led to the rapid shrinkage of the American middle class, and a large number of poor people cannot be resettled at all, which has become the biggest destabilizing factor.
These poor people have no educational resources, no upward channels, and even no job opportunities.
What is the best way for these people to make money and make class leaps? Of course, it is to join gangs! They have no other way out. After all, there is no threshold for gangs, as long as they can shoot.
The big stage of gangs, you come if you have a life.
So this situation cannot be solved at all. It is still good now. After all, the US government is carrying out industrial revitalization. It can be imagined that there will be a large number of job opportunities to absorb a large number of poor people.
But this cannot change the fundamental problem.
After all, this is an institutional problem that needs to be reflected on.
In short, New York, a land full of gold, will never have a gang vacuum. Even if it appears for a short time, there will be a siphon effect, attracting gangs from other places. New York is a big city, which can cause a siphon effect on the surrounding areas and even the entire United States. A large amount of wealth and talents will come to New York consciously or unconsciously.
The same is true for gangs.
Are the talents of gangs not talents?
The gang that Hammerhead belongs to is a new force created by this siphon effect.
It's just that Hammerhead is unlucky. Their actions attracted the attention of the New York Police Department... A new gang coming to New York to establish itself naturally wants to deter other forces, so it is inevitable that they act a little more violently.
But Hammerhead and his people are more brutal, so they are targeted by the police.
Then there was a firefight, and Hammerhead's performance was unusually conspicuous, so he became famous.
Hammerhead's life is strange and not strange.
He is a Russian immigrant, and his life in the United States is not very good. He has been in gangs since he was a child. Although he is not a mutant, his physical fitness has been very good since he was a child, and he is born with supernatural powers. Because he was severely injured in the head during a gang fight, the doctor transplanted a metal skull into his brain. Although he was able to survive, he lost his previous memories, so he called himself "Hammerhead". Hammerhead has no superpowers, but his iron skull gives him a special physique that "bullets cannot explode his head". After the brain was injured, he was a little neurotic and fought desperately. With his super physical fitness and extremely high fighting talent.
He became a god-like existence in the underworld.
The underworld therefore spread rumors that he was an undead monster. So his gang grew stronger and stronger. And his iron head is also very useful in fighting, and it is not difficult to destroy a car speeding towards him.
With this kind of combat power, ordinary mutants may not be able to beat him.
It is this kind of fighting power that attracted the attention of superheroes.
Under Kai's influence, superheroes and New York police are more like complements to each other. After all, there are always many things in this world that ordinary people can't deal with, and at this time, superheroes are needed, and ordinary crimes are left to the police to deal with. After all, the whole city can no longer be managed by a few superheroes. With just a few people, no matter how capable you are, you can't manage the whole city. So the police are the main force of urban security.
So the style of Spider-Man who wants to take care of everything before is very annoying.
It's not difficult for you to call the police for a petty theft, right?
However, you insist on handling it yourself, which is nothing. It's good to do good things, how can it be wrong? But others don't think so.
After all, what they see is that the police can't handle a small case, and they still need superheroes to do it... Then why do they need the police? Eat dry rice?
You do big things and small things, which makes others seem very useless.
More seriously, it's just choking!
So for a long time, Spider-Man was not very popular with the police.
But now Spider-Man has also noticed this kind of thing and has restrained himself, so the relationship between the two sides has eased.
And Hammerhead obviously meets the standards for superheroes.
So Spider-Man appeared.
However, Hammerhead is tall and long-legged, and he is not clumsy at all. He runs very fast, and he is experienced in the streets and very cunning, so for a while, Spider-Man can't catch up with him.
"Get out of the way! Don't block me!!!"
Soon Hammerhead ran to a place not far in front of Meila, and seeing Meila stupidly blocking the middle of the road, Hammerhead immediately shouted fiercely.
Meila was not afraid at all, but looked at the strange guy with interest.
Seeing that the woman was still standing there stupidly, Hammerhead was anxious, and immediately waved his strong arms, intending to beat the troublesome beauty aside.
After all, he was out of breath from being chased, and he didn't care about being gentle with women.
However, the next second, Meila grabbed his arm, turned around, and threw the two-meter-tall body of the hammer head directly into the air, and then slammed it hard on the ground!
