Although the flying ability of the engineering mecha is very awkward, fortunately Tony still installed a flying device... although it is still not very good. But at least it allows the mecha to fly short distances. So when Jessica and the others arrived, not all the police at the scene were dead.
However... the scene has turned into a Shura field.
Several policemen were stripped naked and nailed to wooden frames by a group of thugs.
Yes, nails, like Jesus.
There were wounds all over their bodies, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and burns... Yes, these bastards put the police on the fire!
Beside it, there were three burnt black corpses.
"Are they... crazy?" When Jessica saw this scene, her outlook was severely impacted.
Looking at the thugs who were still carnivaling below, Jessica and Luke were a little unable to bear it.
vomit! ! !
This was the vomiting of people in the Star Laboratory. The Star Laboratory has been watching the 'live broadcast' in real time through the cameras on each superhero and giving the most professional advice. But the scene in front of them made several scientists completely unbearable.
Click! ! !
There was a flash of golden lightning and the Flash was coming.
Barry's problems haven't gotten better, and he still has trouble working intermittently. The last time he solved a bank robbery case, he almost threw himself into the street. So this time, he was left as a backup. Others are really afraid that it will happen again and just throw themselves into the street. After all, from a utilitarian point of view, only by recovering can he help more people. Running around in this situation will kill people.
But with this young man’s enthusiasm, how could he really stay behind?
So he ran away.
Just run away secretly, and this guy didn't even bring a communicator.
So...he's late.
Barry was also shocked by the scene.
He was rescuing people in other places before and suffered minor injuries. Then he heard someone saying that there was a lot of trouble in the prison, so he hurried over, but...
"Oh, God……"
Looking at those scenes where the gods and demons were dancing like cultists wearing clown hoods, the Flash couldn't help but shout God.
"Boy, God doesn't care about this!" Luke opened the mecha's mask, spit on the ground, and then took out something that looked like a grenade launcher from the huge external loading box on the back. "It depends on this!"
"Wait!!" Barry hurried up to stop Luke: "Are you planning to kill them all?!!"
Barry mistook it for some kind of weapon of mass destruction.
"I really want to do that." Jessica also opened the mask. She had no choice but to breathe some fresh air, and she was going to vomit. If he spits in the mask...eh, never mind.
As she spoke, Jessica raised the transmitter in her hand and said with an unhappy look: "But the boss doesn't allow us to do that..."
Of course Kai won't allow it. If you hit hard and kill a few scum, that's no problem. In the case of the Los Angeles earthquake, a heavy hand can better deter those troublesome bastards. But there are hundreds of people here...if they really do that, the cliff will be labeled as anti-human.
"Then this is..."
"Non-lethal biological weapons manufactured by Stark Group." Luke explained seriously.
It was actually a tear gas bomb, but Tony added a few small changes to it to increase its effect dozens of times. It can completely destroy the opponent's ability to move in a short period of time, causing the enemy to suffer from various severe allergic reactions in the next twenty hours or even days.
This thing was originally intended to be sold to the Ministry of Defense, but unfortunately... the men of the Ministry of Defense lost much interest when they heard that this thing was not lethal.
In Tony's words, these gentlemen have holes in their heads!
Such a good weapon is not used. This is much better than those destructive weapons! The effect is strong and it also features humanistic care! Simply the best representative of weapons in the new century.
Of course, Kai also suspected that the bosses from the Ministry of Defense also felt that Tony had a hole in his mind.
If you don’t design good weapons, why design a weapon for the security forces for the army?
This thing can't kill anyone, right?
The two of them took out ammunition and loaded it. Jessica was a little faster. She felt that if she didn't do something, she would be unable to help it. She directly took the launcher wheel and fired two rounds of tear gas. Two clouds of smoke suddenly exploded at the street intersection dozens of meters away. The originally aggressive thugs suffocated and quickly became confused. Coughing and screaming could be heard crazily from the smoke.
Bang!
A shock bomb was fired.
It's Harrison.
They were now at the prison wall post where they were trapped.
Now that we see support coming, we naturally have complaints and revenge. Of course, they still didn't dare to go too far and could only use shock bombs to vent some of their anger.
Shock bombs are actually quite effective, but the quantity is a little smaller, and since this is an open area, the effective range is too small. However, if this thing is close, the effect is absolutely outstanding. For a moment, a group of thugs were shocked and knocked to the ground, covering their eyes and wailing wildly.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" One unlucky guy was hit by a tear gas canister. The power of a grenade launcher is actually just that, but it still hurts when it hits someone. This guy's head was hit, and his face was immediately covered with blood, and then tear gas exploded in his face... That taste, tsk tsk... is definitely unforgettable.
As the smoke from the tear gas dispersed, the rioters' nerves exploded due to their excessive drug use. They cried and ran around like headless chickens, and some simply raised their guns and shot at Luke and Jessica.
But some bullets were useless to both of them. The armor thickness of the mecha was simply crazy. Due to the complicated rescue environment, Tony had specially strengthened the armor thickness of the mecha in order to protect the driver. If it could be penetrated by bullets, , then the Tony brand is completely ruined.
Then the Flash couldn't sit still anymore. He borrowed a gas mask from Luke and rushed into the crowd, knocking down those guys with firearms immediately or destroying their firearms. Let Luke and Jessica concentrate on dealing with the thugs.
Bang! Bang!
Luke fired two more rounds of tear gas and extended them to both sides to continue to drive away the crowd.
Jessica also specially observed those who took the lead in fanning in the crowd. As long as a small group of thugs gathered, she would immediately fire tear gas to defeat those who organized and incited the crowd.
"What are these people thinking? Why don't you just go and take refuge? Do you have to have such an exciting time?"
Uh-huh!
The Flash suddenly appeared, carrying a guy in his hand who was dedicated to inciting unrest among the crowd!
Snapped!
The guy was thrown to the ground. Then Barry lifted the guy's hood off.
The face of a middle-aged white man was revealed. He looked like an ordinary person. He didn't look like a troublemaker at all. He even looked very honest.
But his expression is not very good now. His eyes are red, his face is ferocious, and blue blood vessels are crawling all over his face.
"Hey! Guys, he doesn't look good..." Barry was shocked!
Jessica and Luke didn't care much about the idiot, but concentrated on dealing with the thugs.
"Hey!!!" Barry had to stop directly in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Luke had a better personality, so he stopped, but Jessica still went her own way.
"This guy seems to be dying!" Barry pointed at the guy he brought over. This guy is a leader, he is the most active.
At this moment, this guy had already begun to twitch, his eyes turned white, his limbs were kicking around, foaming at the mouth, and he was about to get cold.
Um?
Luke was startled. He had never heard Tony say he would have such a reaction.
"Is it a strong allergic reaction?"
To put it bluntly, tear gas actually uses people's allergic reactions to defeat the enemy. However, generally speaking, tear gas rarely causes death, unless the person wins the lottery and has a strong allergic reaction to the ingredients of tear gas. For example, some people have a strong allergic reaction to a certain substance. Others may experience itching, difficulty breathing, coughing and sneezing due to allergies. However, some people's reaction will be much more intense. Just a little bit of the allergen can cause It can induce circulatory system failure, drop in blood pressure, arrhythmia, etc., and can even lead to death from visceral failure due to allergies.
But this kind of example is very rare, and it is very likely that you will not find one in a million people.
"It doesn't seem like it." Barry was witnessing the graduation of a major, which requires strong medical knowledge. "The reaction was so quick. And it didn't have the typical hallmarks of an allergic reaction."
Jessica glanced casually, then turned her head and continued to fire tear gas: "Two idiots, they must have taken too many drugs!"
Jessica used to be a detective, and she herself had experienced a lot in order to escape the pursuit of the Purple Man. She had seen people who took drugs and burped too much, and it was because of this that she numbed herself and never dared to use drugs. After all... she just wanted to numb herself, and did not want to turn herself into a human or a ghost. By the way, he will die so miserably.
Although the reaction of the guy in front of me was a little different, the reaction of overdosing on drugs was pretty much the same.
"Overdosed on drugs?"
When Barry thought about it, it was true.
"How could they be so crazy without taking drugs?"
Jessica said angrily while swearing.
"Then...those people..."
If this man's reaction wasn't unique... Barry quickly wondered if others might be like this too.
It turns out that Barry's crow's mouth worked.
Soon, more and more people in the crowd fell to the ground and twitched!
Almost exactly the same as the guy before!
"Uh... guys, I think we're in big trouble..." Barry said almost groaning as he watched more and more people fall to the ground.
…
"What happened to Harrison?"
In the latter part of the night, the army entered the city. Order has generally been restored. The governor of California has declared a state of emergency, and the federal government and the Pentagon have also announced that Los Angeles will enter martial law. Although there are still a group of people protesting against restrictions on freedom, most normal people are still there. The order was obeyed.
The arrival of the army means that the superhero can retire with success. After all, when the army came, it brought a professional rescue team with it.
In response to domestic disasters, the federal government still showed high efficiency. Almost all the rescue teams whose names were reported in the country were asked to arrive in Los Angeles for rescue as soon as possible.
However, Los Angeles police may not be able to catch their breath that easily.
Because we are in big trouble!
Their prison was breached, and more than a dozen members of the special operations team died as a result. Two entire teams were wiped out! Not to mention, hundreds of thugs appeared near the prison and were rushed to first aid because of excessive drug use...
Now this number is decreasing rapidly... Because rescue is not timely, many people burp without waiting for doctors to treat them.
Looking at the rising death toll, Director Vaughn almost lost all his hair.
He had the intention to add these deaths to the earthquake death toll. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. With so many people dying, someone will definitely investigate afterward. After all, this also involves post-disaster rescue and insurance claims.
Yes, there are insurance claims.
Question, what are the most awesome companies in the United States?
The answer you get will definitely be arms, high technology, finance, etc.
This is certainly not wrong, but people often ignore the impact of an industry on American society.
That's the insurance industry.
Don’t think that the U.S. insurance industry has the same sense of existence as domestic insurance companies. On the contrary, the U.S. insurance industry is quite impressive. The U.S. has the largest insurance market in the world, with nearly 6,000 insurance companies. Among them, there are more than 2,500 liability and property insurance companies, 907 health insurance companies, and more than 850 life and annuity companies.
Their business has penetrated into almost every aspect of American life!
There is a market, which means there are interests. If there are interests, there will naturally be interest groups.
The U.S. insurance industry has a huge lobbying group of politicians who constantly lobby Congress to allow insurance business to enter all industries. For example, the most obvious one is medical insurance.
This is a favorite point of contention among Americans.
Almost every election involves controversy.
But no matter which president is in power, there is nothing he can do about it. Why?
It's not because the conflict of interests is too big to be touched at all.
At the same time, insurance companies are also extremely strict in auditing claims. Each insurance company has its own claims auditors. These reviewers will review every insurance claim case with an almost strict attitude. In short, they uphold a The principle is, if you can avoid compensation, then you will never compensate!
These people are often much more powerful in their investigation than the police.
Vaughn could get other government agencies to turn a blind eye, but he couldn't get insurance companies to shut up.
Because the insurance company needs real money to compensate!
Unless Vaughn is willing to pay and pay the insurance company a large amount of hush money...
Unfortunately, Vaughn had no money.
Who the fuck would be a police officer if they had money?
So he could only watch helplessly.
He can't force the hospital to treat these people first. After all, these are thugs and scum. Let law-abiding citizens wait and treat these scum first? He dares to say that tomorrow the people of Los Angeles will tear him apart and throw him into the sea.
