Chapter 250: Wealth touches people's hearts
The bright sun hangs in the blue sky, casting wisps of light on the earth, illuminating half the world, but it cannot penetrate the black smoke over Manhattan and bring light and warmth to this once prosperous place.
Sandwiched between the Easter and Hudson rivers, the island is no more than 60 square kilometres in size, but it is home to more than a million people, crowded with skyscrapers and high-rise buildings and many more low-rise houses.
It's just that now, this place, known as the center of the world economy, is full of devastation, towering luxury skyscrapers, this hole, that hole, and even seventeen or eighteen high-rise buildings cut off and collided with nearby buildings, and three or four more unlucky buildings were blown off the load-bearing pillars at the root, and were hit by Leviathan behemoths, falling directly to the ground, smashing and smashing, and building debris was scattered everywhere, crushing many people underneath.
One-third of Manhattan was on fire, and the black smoke was so dark that you couldn't see the sun hanging in the sky, and the whole of Manhattan looked extremely dark, and the corpses of Zetarians and Leviathan monsters scattered all over the streets made this bustling commercial center feel like hell.
The ruins are full of ruins, and you can't find a trace of the glory of the past, and if you change to a stranger, you won't recognize this as Manhattan, with its iconic buildings such as the Empire State Building, Broadway, Wall Street, and a large number of colleges and universities.
Many buildings were on fire, but there were so few fire trucks that could enter Manhattan that not even ten of them were on fire, and countless people were buried under the rubble, carrying layers of prefabricated panels, desperately and lonely as the fire burned out little by little.
Greer rode on a flying motorcycle, speeding through the sky, passing by a hovering helicopter, and the ruins were all in sight, and the mournful siren echoed in his ears, which became the main theme of Manhattan.
In front of him was Mark 7, flying with the last of his energy, followed by a helicopter carrying Spider-Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Banner, and the group of people who had long been exhausted after the great war silently headed towards the outskirts of Manhattan.
The Battle of the Twist is over, and all that remains is disaster relief, clearing the rubble, and rebuilding, which will be a long process, and it will probably not be possible to clear all the rubble for several years. There is no celebration of the need for a movie to eat barbecue together, and after such a big battle, several people who are mentally and physically exhausted leave Manhattan in a helicopter and arrive at a small S.H.I.E.L.D. base in New Jersey after the helicopter sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives.
As for the Helicarrier, it was almost marked with the Hulk's forbidden entry, and it really couldn't withstand the second toss, so when it arrived at this small base, it was time to eat, take a bath and rest, Grell didn't know what the others were like, anyway, he was lying on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
It's really tired, both mentally and physically exhausted to the extreme, a single Zeta Swiss soldier is not very strong, but it is also compared to a super soldier like Captain America. The physical fitness of the Zetarians is much stronger than that of Black Widow and Hawkeye, and if they are ordinary agents, neither of them can beat a Zetari, let alone ordinary people.
There is also an incomparably large Leviathan giant beast, a sword slash up, that is, the degree of tickling, if it is not turned on to accelerate to internal destruction, it will slash hundreds of swords in half a second, and all the things that seem important inside will be slashed, don't think about killing the Leviathan giant beast so easily.
The Battle of Twist made Greer realize that his destructive power was still not enough, especially the lack of a wide range of attacks, like the miniature air-to-air missile on Iron Man's shoulder, which can hit as many Zetarians as he can at the same time with a single performance release, and is simply a killing machine until the missiles are used up.
But Greel, there are a lot of single attack skills, and they are all very strong, they can kick the Iron Overlord, can kill the Abomination, and can beat the Hulk, but a large range of attacks, hehe. The only Quantum Burst Cannon split attack also requires precise guidance from Greel's psychic power to hit a moving target, otherwise the devil knows where it will fly.
There are also fire dragons, mobile Pegasus, and machine intelligence that can only be expressed by Greer's precise commands, otherwise it is to attack according to the death order, so that the involuntary consciousness will indeed not rebel, but it will appear extremely rigid in the case of no one commanding, which can be regarded as both pros and cons.
When I woke up, it was already noon the next day, and when I walked down the long corridor to the large living room, I saw Parker, wearing bandages on his arms and legs, and band-aids on his face, sitting on the sofa in his regular clothes and watching TV intently.
All bridges and tunnels are under military control, as are traffic restrictions on Manhattan's two rivers and nearby airspace, allowing only relief boats, planes, and cars to enter Manhattan, and nothing else.
It can be said that the current Manhattan has been completely isolated, and a large number of anti-chemical troops have been stationed in Manhattan to prevent the possible spread of alien viruses, and there is vigilance, after all, Manhattan is now full of alien high-tech weapons, which have been regarded by the US imperialism as their own, and they never want other countries to get them.
Alien weapons, body tissue, alien metal, and all other alien items immediately became the hottest and most expensive thing on the black market in the world after the end of the War of Twist, and they were full of high bounties.
There must be brave men under the heavy money, and the high price makes many people risk being infected by alien viruses to pick up some alien laser guns, helmets, armor and stomach on their bodies and hide them. Even though Manhattan is locked down, there are still people sneaking in to pick up alien items that are more expensive than gold, including medical teams, fire brigades and other people who have entered Manhattan to rescue people, taking the opportunity to hide some things and take them out to sell for money.
An alien invasion war with tens of thousands of casualties has become an opportunity for many people to make a fortune. Pain is always more touching than wealth, and there are even posts on the Internet openly selling the alien weapons they have picked up, and there are quite a few of them, on the grounds that they use alien things to compensate for their houses and cars that were blown up by aliens.
The government wants to control this chaos, but it is powerless for a while, and there are so many things to deal with, such as rescuing people trapped under the rubble, extinguishing fires, controlling order, preventing epidemics, providing enough food for millions of people, providing shelter for the homeless, collecting fallen Zetari weapons, etc., which have already kept the personnel currently entering Manhattan busy.
