"I said it! I..." Arthur opened the door forcefully and was about to say something harsh, but he found that someone else was standing at the door.

A bald man and a few people stood in front of his door.
"Who are you?" These people were obviously not from Atlantis, but looked a bit like cops. Arthur asked cautiously.
"The Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." Phil said with a smile.
Arthur was a little confused: "What what what?"
"You can call us S.H.I.E.L.D." This is not the first time Phil has encountered this situation. Anyway, he will be complained about every time. S.H.I.E.L.D. himself is also desperate about this broken name. It's too long. You will forget it if you are not careful.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.... What does it do?" Arthur has never heard of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is normal.
"Well, how to explain... You can think of us as a secret organization of the government, specializing in dealing with various supernatural events." Phil explained a little helplessly. ,
S.H.I.E.L.D. is a well-known and huge company to those who know it, but for those who have never heard of it... it really has no power at all. It would be great if the Avengers plan succeeded. We could just say that we are the organizers of the Avengers. The effect would be absolutely shocking.
Unfortunately, it didn't succeed. So S.H.I.E.L.D. can't come up with any achievements that can shock people. It's not that they don't have any achievements, but those achievements are all done in secret, and no one has ever heard of them.
Arthur could probably guess why these people were looking for him.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this. We have many questions about the previous attack on Port Ci'en. I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
"Then what?"
"Of course, it's an assessment of the incident, and then the next step is taken based on the assessment."
Phil still smiled, he was very optimistic about Arthur. While sorting out Arthur's information, he noticed that with Ci'en Port as the center, within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles, there were often news reports of shipwrecks being rescued miraculously. One or two times might be true miracles, but if it happened too many times, there would be problems.
Obviously, all this was the work of the Atlantean in front of him.
This proves that Arthur is a good person.
At least he is a person with justice in his heart. Such people are the most likely to be inspired and then recruited by SHIELD.
Arthur shook his head. He didn't know SHIELD, so he didn't believe that such an organization could intervene in the feud between the Atlanteans and him.
"That matter has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to say. You go." Arthur said and was about to close the door.
Ward on the side pushed against the door. He was not a good talker.
"What if we must know?"
"Ward!" Phil shouted immediately. "Don't do this! Mr. Arthur is not an enemy."
"But he is not necessarily a friend! He is too dangerous. We can't let such a dangerous person stay among the crowd." Ward said seriously.
SHIELD has always been a disciplined force, otherwise it would not have existed for so long. So it is absolutely impossible for a leader to lose control of his subordinates like now. If it really happened, it would have been a mess long ago. Even if Phil is a good talker, he would not allow this to happen.
To put it bluntly, they are just playing a double act.
Sometimes you still need to pay attention to methods and skills when doing things.
But just as the two of them were performing, Arthur suddenly said, "Sir, you are here!"
Ward and Phil suddenly woke up, there was someone behind them!
Several people turned their heads and looked behind them.
It was Kai.
Phil's expression froze. To be honest, he was a little afraid of seeing Kai. Every time SHIELD messed up something, Kai would habitually confront them.
Although no major damage was caused every time, it was not a good feeling to be confronted by others and not be able to fight back.
But this time Kai seemed extremely restrained. He just glanced at the SHIELD team and didn't look at them again: "Arthur, there is trouble! Let's go to Port Ci'en immediately!"
Arthur thought of something at the first time.
"They are coming?!"
"It's more troublesome than that!" Kai said with a serious face.
At this time, the computer in Simmons' hand also sounded an alarm.
"Sir! It's not good..."
...
Since the last time he killed those Atlanteans, Kai knew that this matter would not end so easily. So before evacuating, Kai deliberately found the local police station and explained the situation to the local sheriff, hoping that the sheriff could organize people to evacuate from Ci'en Port.
Unfortunately, although the sheriff was willing to believe Kai, the problem was that he had no power to do so.
The government of a small city like the United States has a very poor sense of existence, which is also the small government that the United States is accustomed to.
Speaking of which, the political system of the United States is actually very conscious. At the federal level, the power of the government is very large. Even if many people advocate a small government, the number of civil servants in the federal government is still a huge number. Not only that, many departments have developed into super organizations, such as the Internal Revenue Service, such as the FBI, CIA, etc. These organizations are already very large, which also lays the foundation for the federal government to suppress the states of the United States under the federal system.
In a sense, this is also a means to maintain the unity of the United States.
But when it comes to local areas, the situation is reversed. The smaller the place, the worse the sense of existence of the local government. Local self-control is very common, and the situation in each state is different, which leads to the fact that the United States has basically no grassroots governance capacity. Even in big cities, this is the case.
Why can gangs be so popular in the United States? Part of the reason is precisely because of the poor grassroots governance capacity. When this part of power is missing, someone will naturally seize and fill this part of power. Those grassroots communities with good public security and strong self-protection awareness can naturally exercise grassroots power through grassroots organizations such as residents' joint defense and residents' federations. But once a community cannot maintain its power well, the gangs will seize this part of power. This refers specifically to those poor places.
In addition, this high degree of self-control will also lead to a lack of grassroots mobilization capabilities, which is also the main reason for the huge difference in grassroots mobilization capabilities between my country and the United States. It's okay at ordinary times, but once an emergency occurs, such as a natural disaster, the difference in mobilization capabilities is particularly obvious.
The same is true in Ci'en Port.
Not to mention the sheriff, even the mayor of Ci'en Port does not have this power. (The city-level administrative level in the United States is very different from that in China. In fact, there is no essential difference between a town and a city.)
Even after Kai's repeated insistence, the sheriff called the mayor, and finally only issued an emergency evacuation notice.
As for whether those people listen or not...that's another matter.
The Americans are particularly concerned about this point. They think that if the government forces them to evacuate, it will infringe on their rights.
In short, don't expect to see the grassroots mobilization capabilities in China here.
For this situation, Kai can't do anything.
Even if he is a superhero, it won't work.
In the end, Kai can only leave some means to deal with emergencies.
And the facts also prove that Kai's worries are not wrong.
Just now, the means left by Kai sensed that there were violent energy fluctuations in the sea off Ci'en Port!
So he immediately took action and planned to take Arthur and others to rescue people.
Sometimes, Kai really hates to ignore those guys who don't listen to advice. In several major incidents, most of the police's forces were used to deal with such bird things. This is a serious waste of resources. When Kai was in New York before, he suggested to the mayor to strengthen the grassroots governance capabilities.
It's a pity that it didn't work. The Americans have always been arrogant. They always think that they are the best in the world, so everything about them is perfect and correct.
But is this really the case?
The reason why the United States has become a superpower is certainly due to its political system, but do you think that this system is perfect? That's just taking it for granted. What perfect system is there in this world?
In short, Kai's proposal didn't even have a chance to be discussed in the city council. They refused to change.
It was almost the same in Ci'en Port.
When Kai arrived, the time was still peaceful here. It wasn't that no one was obedient. Some people left early. But compared with the population of Ci'en Port, it was still too small.
Arthur was carried by Kai to the top of Ci'en Port, and then he stared at the sea in the distance in amazement.
"Oh my God!"
Don't blame Arthur for losing his temper, the scene in front of him was really amazing!
On the sea twenty miles away from Ci'en Port, waves gathered under the control of groups of blue light, while the water level on Ci'en Port was dropping rapidly, just like the tide! Then there were waves of water.
A 20-30 meter-long sea of water gathered and formed, rushing towards Ci'en Port!
Like a tsunami!
"Fuck! I knew it! I knew this would happen!" Ward cursed madly in the Quinjet. "Fuck Atlanteans!"
Phil's face, which always had a smile on it, became extremely ugly at this moment.
Well, in the story of the prince in distress, there are often unlucky people who encounter unexpected disasters. And humans, or more precisely, Americans, will always be the unlucky ones.
"Fitz! Is there any way to stop that thing!"
Fitz was concentrating on looking at the computer screen, and the scanner was constantly scanning and analyzing the cause of the giant waves.
"It's not a tsunami. There is no sign of seismic activity around Ci'en Port, no, not just Ci'en Port, but the entire west coast! It should be energy, but I can't analyze what energy it is, but there is no doubt that this energy is very amazing! We know too little about this situation! I need a model to analyze the energy structure that caused all this! But we have nothing!"
Fitz talked for a long time, and Phil understood the last sentence.
He quickly suggested: "What about using the energy weapons on the Quinjet to attack?"
In the Battle of New York, although SHIELD was hit hard, in fact, SHIELD itself did not suffer much loss. After all, the battle was fought by superheroes in cooperation with the Air Force. At most, they were a nuisance and sent a nuclear bomb. And SHIELD also gained a lot of benefits afterwards.
For example, the alien technology of the Chitauri.
Their Quinjet was equipped with the Chitauri's anti-gravity engine, energy shield generator and energy weapons.
This made the Quinjet owned by Phil's team not only have extremely strong flight performance, but also greatly enhanced its defense performance and attack power.
"It's useless. The two are not even on the same order of magnitude. Energy weapons can only produce a little water vapor at most." Simmons also stared at the computer screen and operated the equipment to record everything in front of her. Although she and Fitz were also worried about the situation in Ci'en Port, scientists are creatures with more rationality than sensibility. After they had already assessed in their minds that they could do nothing, they immediately began to record as much as they could, hoping to be able to research something later to defend against the next attack of this kind.
As the tide approached, the residents of Ci'en Port finally knew what they were facing.
A tsunami!
People began to scream and run towards the mainland.
But how could they run faster than the tsunami?
Just as the huge waves of the tsunami hit the dock.
Suddenly a female voice resounded in the night sky!
"Hydra!!!"
Ward on the Quinjet suddenly felt his DNA moving.
When they looked up, they saw a huge magic circle appear in front of the dock area!
Then a huge, extremely huge seven-headed monster blocked the tide!
This monster is very huge, 30 meters high, with a body as thick as a giant python on earth, hovering in place, like a dam blocking the tide!
Bang! ! ! !
Under the huge impact, the monster suddenly howled to the sky, making a painful hiss! Its three heads were smashed under the huge amount of sea water! Its whole body was also thrown into the air!
"It's Angel Witch!" Simmons is particularly concerned about female superheroes because of her gender. She is a die-hard fan of the Chicago Three.
Phil is a die-hard fan of Captain America. Why can't she be a fan of the Chicago Three?
So this girl recognized whose trick it was at the first time.
Phil immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there are superheroes to back him up.
But the next second he felt extremely ashamed.
It seems that Kai was right to scold. Every time when S.H.I.E.L.D. is really needed, they seem to have failed to stand up and provide positive help.
This is really a ghost.
It would be a miracle to say that SHIELD has no such intention. But for some reason, every time there is such an important occasion, SHIELD will fail for various reasons...
The giant beast did not block the prospect of the tide. The next second, the evil beast, which was notorious even in the demon world, disappeared and ran away.
The tide continued to move forward. At this time, Batgirl landed from the night sky.
She landed next to Angel Witch, and then bursts of crimson magic burst out from her body.
Ah!!!!!!
A scream like the death scream of a death banshee resounded in all directions!
The crimson, bad-looking magic suddenly opened up!
Forming a thin energy wall!
But this energy wall magically blocked the tide!
