Chapter 91: The barrier disappears
Looking at the barrier that disappeared from the sky in the distance, the expressions of the four people in the car were not very good, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already fallen into the hands of cultists, so the situation of the army and the government could be imagined.
"The cultists must have destroyed the node, once the tsunami lands, the United States will become a hell on earth, I don't know what happens in other regions." Natasha drove towards the Avengers Tower, screaming in terror as she discovered the disappearance of the shield.
Fury was trying to contact the federal government, but found that his communication equipment had been forced offline, and Fury angrily slammed the window: "How long is it until we get to the Avengers Tower?" β
"Probably five minutes left, sir." Natasha drove the car nimblely through the streets, she also knew that Fury was in a bad mood now, S.H.I.E.L.D. was controlled by the cultists, and it was exposed at this juncture, once something went wrong, I was afraid that S.H.I.E.L.D. would cease to exist from now on.
In such a hurry, the group finally arrived at the Avengers Building, and as soon as they entered the building, Fury asked Jarvis to turn on all the defensive equipment, and Jarvis immediately contacted Tony.
"Open it, Jarvis, but why did Director Fury suddenly come here?" Tony was drawing a defensive node on the beach, the previous node had been destroyed by the cultists, and Tony arrived to anesthetize all the cultists who remained in place.
"I'm sorry Tony, but now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen, the cultists have taken control of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and we need your help now." Fury succinctly told Tony the news, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was controlled, and now it was up to the Avengers.
"I'll just say that the game is not safe, and I'll come back with the captain right away." Tony was stunned for a moment, gave up his job, and immediately flew to Steve, he knew very well that once S.H.I.E.L.D. was overrun by the cultists, then they would have to face more than just one or two defense nodes failed.
Sure enough, after Tony found Steve, the blue barrier that had retreated to the West before also disappeared, "Well, it seems that we don't need to worry about not being able to go back." β
What everyone doesn't know is that it's not just the defense nodes that are in trouble, the energy hub in the United States has stopped supplying energy at this time, and the shields of the entire American region have disappeared.
Although only one pattern is required for the placement of defense nodes, the shield generation requires the coverage of the energy core to be drawn when crafting the energy core, and the combination of the two will have an effect to avoid border errors.
Therefore, in the absence of energy cores, even if more defense nodes are drawn, it will not work, but if the defense nodes are insufficient, then the boundary will be blurred, which is why Tony found that the shield runs from east to west before. Because of this, the P5 does not prohibit the proliferation of defense node patterns, but firmly grasps the energy core in their hands.
Governments did not inform the public that the shield was alien technology, and in order to reassure the people to the greatest extent, the news was not even shared at the United Nations General Assembly, but in the name of the P5.
Although the high-level officials of other countries are skeptical of the authenticity of this news, the situation is urgent, and everyone does not have so much time to argue, and the P5 interface prevents the civilian population from drawing defense nodes to interfere with the area demarcated by the military, so the accurate production plan of the energy core is not disclosed.
All the energy cores are controlled by the P5, and those nodes are the responsibility of those regions, which is also to prevent those countries from making trouble in the future, knowing that once the shield is raised on a global scale, it also means that the most terrible weapon of mankind - nuclear weapons have lost the threat.
The fact that the current international order has been largely stable is partly due to the power of nuclear weapons, and the weakening of this power now means that the international order that has been in place since World War II will be completely broken.
Therefore, the United States relies on its own nuclear power plants with the largest number of nuclear power plants in the world, and hands over the entire defense node of the Americas to the control of the energy hub of the United States.
It can be seen that even if the catastrophe of the end of the world is about to come, human politicians are still intriguing, which is one of the reasons why the Star Spirit Empire has refused to contact Midgard so far.
And now, before ordinary people know what is really going on, media reporters have found out about this exciting news.
βγγγ We have not yet known why the government has turned off the shields, and does it mean that the people have been betrayed when our government is putting hundreds of millions of lives on the line when a tsunami is about to strike? β
βγγγ According to the latest information we have received, the barriers have disappeared throughout the Americas, what exactly does the government want to do?γγγ β
βγγγ Those politicians have abandoned us, and they must have secretly built Noah's Ark to unite and bring down this group of hypocritical politiciansγγγ β
At the same time, all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods also appeared one after another, and began to encourage the people to riot, and for a while, the whole United States seemed to be mired in riots.
Countries such as Canada and Mexico are not having a good time, and their people are beginning to question them and participate in the riots, and the Americas are already in complete turmoil.
What happened in the United States was quickly learned by other countries, and people began to question the safety of the barriers in the region, demanding an explanation from the government, and the spokesmen of various countries were also anxious and had to start restricting the media from speaking.
And what happened to the current high-level in the United States, the reason is very simple, a group of capitalists who dreamed of immortality after learning that they had the means to live forever, joined forces to control the president, and in order to surrender to the 'Holy Religion', they took the initiative to hand over the energy core to the messenger of the 'Holy Religion'.
However, there are also some capitalists who give up cooperating with these so-called 'holy religion' messengers after seeing their true faces, after all, although there is only a word difference between mermaids and fish people, there is still a big gap in the visual effect they bring to people.
In addition, their belief is that since the cult is real, then whether the true God is also real, although after the temptation, the church has not revealed any extraordinary power, but these rich people believe that there are so many religions in Midgard, coupled with the existence of Asgard, maybe there are other gods who can give them immortality.
So they decided to give up cooperating with the devil, but these people are only a minority, and they can't change the minds of those people who want to live forever and want to go crazy, so they can only make their own deployment in secret, and secretly communicate with the president, preparing to wipe out that group of people.
