Chapter 181: Super City
The position where Steve and Tony Stark now stand is in the center of the ruins of New York City.
In the past three months, except for the first half of the month, which cooperated with the troops to rescue the trapped ordinary people, the remaining two and a half months were spent cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding the buildings.
The whole of New York City, from buildings to electrical circuits and even sewer pipes, is gnawed by the big, green-skinned and hairless rats who are in a perpetual state of hunger.
The reconstruction of the city requires a lot of manpower and time, and three months is far from enough.
"Bruce called me just now, and he's found the rats that have mutated with the gamma virus, in an old-fashioned sewer pipe underground." Tony Stark was dressed in a gray tracksuit, leaning on the railing, his bloodshot eyes staring at the hot city below.
Leaning on the railing, Steve looked at the distant sky, absent-minded.
He had just seen a rainbow of light at the far end of the sky, something that looked familiar.
"What are you thinking? I'll talk to you. ”
Tony Stark followed Steve's gaze, and there was nothing in the sky except for a few helicopters that belonged to their Stark Industries.
"I'm thinking about a question, why didn't Bruce contact me." Steve blinked, propped himself up from the railing, and said thoughtfully.
"Because you'll never get through on the phone!"
"Well, I can't ...... it."
The phone couldn't get through, and Steve couldn't help it, so he asked Tony Stark to develop a new relatively compact phone, but because there was no factory, it was shut down.
The current mobile phone is still much heavier than the mobile phone in the future, he doesn't like to bump the mobile phone into his trouser pocket, it is easy to touch something, and it is very easy to break when fighting.
So in order to protect the communication tools, Steve has always kept his phone in his Minecraft backpack, but unfortunately, there is no satellite signal in the backpack, let alone a mobile phone signal.
"Okay, I'll go back and figure out how to get a phone to fix on my body, but did S.H.I.E.L.D. bring the supplies over?"
"No, Nick Fury is acting as an intermediary with the White House, and the CIA is responsible for transporting supplies." Tony Stark rolled his eyes, "You said you had to find a way to fix your phone, you've been saying this for three months, and I think you just don't want to care about those trivial things." ”
Steve shrugged, picked up two glasses of ice water from the balcony, and handed one to Tony Stark, "I don't have Miss Pepper Potts as a Ph.D. in physics and a master of business. ”
"Sharon Carter? She's not your person? Tony Stark took a sip of the ice water in his glass, "Every time I drink the ice water you handed me, I wonder if you have put a chronic poison in it. ”
"It's good to poison you, Sharon Carter is not my person, but if you give her to me and help me do things, I am willing to accept your favor." Steve drank a full glass of ice water in one gulp.
"Not for the time being, Stark Industries needs to be rebuilt, Pepper can't be busy alone, and you have to wait for me to rebuild the Stoke Building."
Stark Building Redevelopment ......
Steve looked at the small ten-story building at the foot of his building, which was Tony Stark's rebuilt building, but the construction progress was extremely slow due to some materials and design reasons.
Steve has no objection to the Stark Building being built next to his building, Tony Stark himself owns land in New York, and Steve buys the whole of New York to buy the locations of ordinary people and companies who are willing to leave the city.
Some of the companies and people who were willing to work with him to rebuild the whole of New York, Steve applauded with both hands.
But even so, 90 percent of the land on the entire Big Island of New York was sold to him by the federal government, and the same is true for the land in New York City, where more than 70 percent of the land belongs to him.
As long as Steve rebuilds New York City, the land will be his, and the occupants of the land will receive federal compensation or resettle in other cities.
He didn't have to pay for it himself, it was a pact with the politicians in the federal government and the ambitious people in the military.
The treaty clearly states that the New York horror plague is due to biological mutation, and has nothing to do with the White House or the military, with Steve responsible for cleaning up the green-skinned hairless rats in the city and covering up the truth, while the White House is responsible for reparations for people and businesses.
Tony Stark spotted Steve looking at his mansion, drank the ice water from the glass with a black face, and forcibly changed the subject, "Although I don't know why you don't want the federal government to station troops here, and they don't even send police, but the order of the city always needs people to maintain it." ”
"I've thought about it a long time ago, aren't we the founders of the New York City Offensive and Defensive League? We can beckon a group of police officers who belong to us to help us maintain order, and as for the troops, I can replace them all, no matter how bad the Hulk is, it is not a problem for you and Rhodes to fight a group of air forces, so, on the whole, our city does not need any troops controlled by others. ”
"If I can, I plan to continue to find some talented kids to join our New York City Offensive and Defensive League, so that those energetic young people can help us guard the night sky of this new city."
Steve can allow Tony Stark to continue to place Stark Industries in this new city that already belongs to him, because a high-tech company can change a city very much, and Stark Industries can change the trajectory of a city by revealing a little thing.
Redstone technology is an alternative technology in my world, and this kind of thing is intended to be used as a secret weapon, and it is not intended to be used to develop the city, so Stark Industries' technology is the best choice.
After listening to Steve's introduction, Tony Stark nodded, "Rhodes should have no problem, the Air Force seems to be planning to set their new research position here, but I don't think some children should be allowed to do our business, you yourself are usually so idle, and you still shirk your responsibilities!" ”
As for the creation of their own police force, Tony Stark had no objection and acquiesced to Steve's claim.
Both Steve and Tony Stark know that the people in the military are no longer trustworthy, and the people in the White House, who want to get Tony Stark's armor and want to cover up the fact that this time in New York, are not trustworthy.
While the two were talking, a convoy of black trucks as long as a horse drove along a makeshift straight road that ran through New York City.
"They're coming, let's go, go down and have a look." Steve looked at the convoy not far away with the CIA logo on the carriage, patted Tony Stark on the shoulder, and jumped off the roof of more than 300 floors.
Tony Stark glanced enviously at Steve, who was playing free falling, and stepped on the red iron box placed on the side of the railing, and the thin Mark V quickly completed its transformation and flew down quickly.
