"I said it! I..." Arthur opened the door forcefully, intending to say a few harsh words, but found that someone had changed at the door.
A bald man and several people stood in front of his door.
"Who are you?" These people are obviously not from Atlantis, but a bit like policemen. Arthur asked cautiously.
"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 SHIELD." This is not the first time Phil has encountered this situation. Anyway, he will be complained about every time. SHIELD themselves are also disappointed with this bad name. It is too long. You will forget it if you are not careful.
"What does SHIELD... do?" Arthur had never heard of SHIELD, which was normal.
"Well, how to explain it... You can think of us as a secret organization of the government, specially designed to deal with various supernatural events." Phil explained a little helplessly. ,
S.H.I.E.L.D., to those who know it, is naturally famous and a huge behemoth, but to those who have never heard of it... it really has no power at all. It would be great if the Avengers plan was successful. Just say that we are the organizers of the Avengers, and the effect would be shocking.
Unfortunately, this was not successful. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't come up with any shocking achievements to shock people's hearts. It's not that they don't have achievements, it's actually that those achievements were carried out in secret, and no one heard of them.
Arthur could probably guess why these people were looking for him.
"What do you want from me?"
"That's right. We have many questions about the previous attack in Cien Port. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
"Then what?"
"Nature is to evaluate the incident, and then take the next step based on the evaluation."
Phil still smiled, he was very optimistic about Arthur. When sorting out Arthur's information, he noticed that with Ci'en Port as the center and a radius of hundreds of nautical miles, there were often news of miraculously rescued ships from wrecks. Once or twice might be a true miracle, but if the number of times was too many, Then there is a problem.
Obviously all this is the work of the Atlantean in front of him.
This proves that Arthur is a good person.
At least he is also a person with a righteous heart. This kind of person is the easiest person to be inspired and accept the recruitment of SHIELD.
Arthur shook his head. He didn't know much about SHIELD, so he didn't really believe that such an organization could intervene in the grudges between Atlantis and him.
"That matter has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to say. You go." Arthur said and planned to close the door.
Ward on the side pushed against the door. He was not an easy talker.
"What if we must know?"
"Ward!" Phil shouted immediately. "Don't do this! Mr. Arthur is not an enemy."
"But it doesn't have to be a friend! He is too dangerous. We cannot 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. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a leader to lose command of his subordinates like now. If this were to happen, things would have gone haywire. Even if Phil was an easy talker, he would not have allowed 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 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's Kai.
Phil's expression froze. To be honest, he was a little afraid of seeing Kai. Every time SHIELD messed up, Kai would habitually attack them.
Although no major harm was caused each time, being attacked by life and not being able to fight back... that was not a pleasant feeling.
But this time Kai showed great restraint. He just glanced at the SHIELD team and then didn't look at them again: "Arthur, there's trouble! Let's go to Cien Port immediately!"
Arthur thought of something immediately.
"They're coming?!"
"It's more troublesome than that!" Kai said with a solemn expression.
At this time, the computer in Simmons' hand also sounded an alarm.
"Sir! It's not good..."
…
Ever since he killed those Atlanteans last time, Kai knew that this matter wouldn't end that easily. Therefore, before evacuating, Kate deliberately found the local police station, explained the situation to the local police chief, and hoped that the police chief could organize the evacuation of personnel from Cien Port.
Unfortunately, although the Sheriff is willing to believe Kai, the problem is that he does not have the power to do so.
The government presence in small cities like the United States is very poor. This is also the small government that the United States is accustomed to.
Speaking of which, the American political system is actually very conscious. At the federal level, the power of the government is very huge. Even though many people advocate a small government, in fact there are still a huge number of civil servants in the federal government. Not only that, many departments have developed It has become a super organization, such as the IRS, FBI, CIA, etc. These organizations are already very large, which also establishes the federal government's suppression of American states under the federal system.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as a means to maintain the unity of the United States.
But when we got there, the situation was reversed. The smaller the place, the worse the sense of existence of local government. Local self-control is very common, and the situation varies from state to state. This results in the United States basically having no grassroots governance capabilities. This is true even in big cities.
Why are gangs so popular in the United States? Part of the reason is precisely because of poor grassroots governance capabilities. When this part of power is missing, someone will naturally seize and fill it. Those grassroots communities with good public security and a strong sense of self-protection 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, gangs will seize this 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 the main reason for the huge difference in grassroots mobilization capabilities between my country and the United States. It's fine at ordinary times, but once there is an emergency, such as a natural disaster, the difference in mobilization ability is particularly obvious.
So is Cien Port.
Not to mention the police chief, not even the mayor of Cien Port has this power. (The municipal 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 police chief called the mayor, but in the end, he only issued an emergency evacuation notice.
Whether those people listen or not...that's another matter.
Americans are particularly concerned about this. They feel that the government is violating their rights by forcing them to evacuate.
In short, don’t expect to see the same kind of grassroots mobilization capabilities found in China here.
There was nothing Kai could do about this situation.
Not even if he's a superhero.
In the end, Kai could only leave some means to deal with emergencies.
And the facts proved that Kai's worries were right.
Just now, the means left behind by Kai sensed violent energy fluctuations in the outer sea of Cien Port!
So he took action immediately, planning to take Arthur and the others to save people.
Sometimes, Kai really hated having to deal with people who didn't listen. In several major incidents, most of the police's power was used to deal with this kind of bird matter. This is a serious waste of resources. When Kay was in New York, he had suggested to the mayor to strengthen grassroots governance capabilities.
It's a pity it's useless. The Americans have always been arrogant. They always think that they are number one 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 this system is perfect? That's a given. How can there be a perfect system in this world?
In short, Kai's proposal didn't even have a chance to be discussed in the city council. They refuse to change.
It's similar here in Ci'en Port.
When Kai arrived, it was still peaceful here, but it wasn't that no one was obedient, some people also left early. But compared to the entire population of Cien Port, it is still too small.
Arthur was flown by Katie to the top of Cien Harbor, and then he stared at the sea in the distance with his mouth open.
"Oh, God!"
Don't blame Arthur for being impatient, the scene in front of him is really amazing!
On the sea surface twenty nautical miles away from Cien Port, waves actually gathered under the control of clusters of blue light, while the water level here at Cien Port was dropping rapidly, like an ebbing tide! Then there was a sound of water.
A massive mass of twenty to thirty meters gathered and rushed towards Cien Port!
Like a tsunami!
"Fak! I knew it! I knew this would happen!" Ward cursed crazily in the Quinjet. "Fak Atlantean!"
Phil's always smiling face now became extremely ugly.
Well, stories about princes in distress often involve an unlucky guy encountering an unthinkable disaster. And humans, Americans to be precise, will always be the unlucky ones.
"Fitz! Is there any way to stop that thing!"
Fitz was looking at the computer screen attentively, and the scanner was constantly scanning and analyzing the causes of the giant waves.
"It's not a tsunami. There is no sign of seismic activity around Cien Port, no, not just Cien Port, 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 are Too little is known about this situation! I need a model to analyze the energy structure that causes all this! But we have nothing!"
Fitz spoke for a long time before Phil understood the last sentence.
He quickly came up with an idea: "What about attacking with the energy weapons on the Quinjet?"
In the Battle of New York, although S.H.I.E.L.D. was severely criticized, in fact S.H.I.E.L.D. itself suffered no losses. After all, the battle was fought by superheroes in cooperation with the air force. The most they could do was add chaos and send a nuclear bomb. And SHIELD got a lot of benefits afterwards.
Such as the alien technology of the Chitauri.
Their Quinjets were equipped with Chitauri anti-gravity engines, energy shield generators and energy weapons.
This allows the Quinjet fighter owned by Phil's team to not only have extremely strong flight performance, but also greatly enhance its defensive performance and attack power.
"It's useless. The two are not of the same order of magnitude at all. The most energy weapons can do is create a little water vapor." Simmons also stared at the computer screen and continuously manipulated the equipment to record everything in front of him. Although she and Fitz are also worried about the situation in Cien Port, scientists are creatures that are more rational than emotional. After they had mentally assessed that they couldn't do anything, they immediately began to do their best to record it, hoping to research something later to defend against the next such attack.
As the tide approaches, the residents in Ci'en Port finally know what they are facing.
Big tsunami!
People started screaming and running towards the mainland.
But how could they run faster than the tsunami?
Just when the huge waves of the tsunami were hitting the pier.
Suddenly a female voice echoed in the night sky!
"Hydra!!!"
Ward, who was on the Quinjet, suddenly felt that his DNA was moving.
When they looked up, they saw a huge magic circle appearing in front of the dock area!
Then a huge, extremely huge seven-headed beast blocked the tide!
This monster is very huge, thirty meters high, with a thick body like a giant python in the world, hovering in place, blocking the tide like a dam!
Bang! ! ! !
Under the huge impact, the monster suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed in pain! Its three heads were smashed into pieces under the huge amount of sea water! Its entire body was also thrown into the air!
"It's Angel Witch!" Simmons is particularly concerned about female superheroes because of their gender. She is a die-hard fan of the Chicago trio.
Phil is a die-hard fan of Captain America, so why can't she be a fan of the Chicago trio?
So the girl immediately recognized whose trick it was.
Phil immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay, okay, the superhero was in charge.
But the next second I felt extremely ashamed.
It seems that Kai's scolding is right. Every time SHIELD is really needed, they seem to fail to step forward and provide positive help.
This is hell.
If SHIELD doesn't have such a wish, then that's damning. But I don't know what's wrong. Every time SHIELD comes to such an important occasion, SHIELD will stretch its hips for various reasons...
The giant beast had no prospect of blocking the tide. In the next second, the evil beast, which was notorious even in the demon world, disappeared and ran away.
The tide continued to move forward, and just then, Batgirl descended from the night sky.
She landed next to the angel witch, and then balls of crimson magic burst out from her body.
ah! ! ! !
A scream like the death scream of a death banshee resounded in all directions!
Those crimson, ominous-looking magic powers suddenly opened up!
Form a thin energy wall!
But this energy wall miraculously blocked the tide!
