Chapter 220: The Ghost Ship
"Stark Industries and the 'Damage Control Division' set up by the Coalition government will take over the custody and preservation of extraterrestrial and other alien materials......"
On television, the news reported the latest government movements, and Adrian Toomes looked at Tony Stark's standard mustachioed face on the news screen, and the expression on his face became a little more gloomy.
"The culprit cleaned up his mess, and as a result, he still had the money to take?"
For ordinary people, they don't know the causes and consequences of the Great New York War, and in their eyes the Zetari army as an invader is hateful, but the members of the Avengers are also more or less one of the makers of this war, especially in order to stop the attack of the Zetarians, many members, including Hulk, also destroyed many buildings in New York.
"Boss, we still have a batch of leftover goods from yesterday that have not been handed in."
At this moment, the employee in the warehouse lifted the cloth cover behind the pickup truck and said to Adrian Tumus.
Adrian Tumbs glanced up at the alien scrap on the pickup truck, then turned his head to look at the TV screen, Tony Stark's vulture's face changed for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Those things, all of them are detained, this world is changing, and we should also change." ”
……
"You know what?"
"What?"
Upper New York Bay, in the harbor, the eerie legend of the "ghost ship" is circulating in the mouths of sailors.
"Last week, the 'Blue Seagull', a pelagic fisherman, encountered the legendary 'ghost ship' near the western Pacific Ocean, and the sailors on the fishing boat said they even heard the noise of people on the 'ghost ship'." Unloading the ship's cargo, an elderly stevedore said with a mysterious expression.
"What age is the 'ghost ship' now, and you still believe this kind of nonsense."
Pursing his lips, the younger worker looked incredulous: "Now, aliens and spaceships are the current trend." ”
The war in New York has spread throughout the city, and thousands of people have seen the existence of aliens with their own eyes, so even if the government wants to cover it up, there is no way to let it go.
"The 'Ghost Ship' really exists!" As an older generation of workers who began to earn a living on the beach, the stevedores were clearly in awe of the sea: "Even aliens have appeared, can you guarantee that the 'ghost ship' must be fake?" ”
“……”
The retort of the older stevedore apparently choked the slightly younger worker.
Indeed, even aliens can invade the earth in this world, and the so-called "ghost ship" does not seem completely impossible.
After a pause, the young worker couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the 'ghost ship' you just talked about?" ”
Looking at the young man who asked curiously, the old stevedore's face showed a smug smile, and then continued to say enthusiastically: "The time when this 'ghost ship' appeared is not long, almost after the aliens invaded New York, it was first found on the sea by an old fisherman who originally intended to die, and it is said that the 'ghost ship' as a whole emits an ominous red light like a phantom......"
"The appearance of the ghost ship, does it look like a three-masted galleon?"
At this moment, the young worker on the opposite side suddenly spoke, interrupting the old stevedore's description.
With a stunned expression on his face, the old stevedore couldn't help but blurt out, "Why, you've heard others talk about the 'ghost ship'?" ”
"You turn your head."
The young worker shook his head with a stiff face and pointed behind him.
"Oh my God~"
Hearing this, the old stevedore turned his head to look at the situation, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
I saw that in the harbor of New York Bay, a three-masted galleon emitting an ominous red light was quietly moored there.
……
“…… Recently, New York has been plagued by many disasters, we have just experienced a large-scale invasion of aliens, relying on the Avengers to barely survive this catastrophe, but in the blink of an eye, a strange 'ghost ship' appeared in the harbor of Upper New York Bay, according to the statistics of the New York City Government's harbor department, affected by this 'ghost ship', the number of imports and exports of Upper New York Bay has been ...... for a week"
On NBC, a news anchor is reporting the latest news about Upper New York Bay into the camera.
"Kate, can you tell us more about the port?"
nodded, and the anchor immediately threw the topic to the reporter on location.
“…… Yes, the situation is not optimistic," at the port of Upper New York Bay, location reporter Kate turned his head and pointed to the huge three-masted sailing ship photographed in the camera behind him, as well as the police surrounding the guard, and said with a serious expression: "In fact, including the police, the coast guard and drones evacuated this 'ghost ship', but obviously, the result was not satisfactory, just now a police-controlled drone hovered to the 'ghost ship', and then quickly lost control and fell." Therefore, in order to prevent some curious people from approaching the dangerous ship, the police had to pull out a large cordon to stop the ......"
"Okay, thanks to our journalist Kate for bringing us first-hand ......"
Here, the media gathered at the port to report on the news about the 'ghost ship'.
On the other side, inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury looked at the three-masted sailing ship in the video screen, and his expression was still not very good.
"Natasha, how's it going?"
"Not so good."
Standing inside the police headquarters, Natasha looked at the three-masted galleon quietly moored in the harbor, and replied with a solemn expression: "We have tried everything that can be done, except for the last violent eviction. ”
"Try to avoid using weapons."
With no knowledge of this strange 'ghost ship' S.H.I.E.L.D., and rushing to use weapons, Nick Fury feared that it would likely backfire.
"I know, it's just ......"
Natasha naturally knows that in the face of this strange and unknown situation, the use of force is almost the worst way to deal with it, but: "The harbor department and the police don't have much patience anymore, after all, every day that this 'ghost ship' stays in the port is a day's loss for the port of New York." ”
"Where's Tony?"
Natasha's report made Nick Fury frown, he knew the limit of the government's patience, and if there was no solution, they would most likely force the use of weapons.
"You know, what those guys from the council did before." Pouting, Natasha replied.
Natasha's words made Nick Fury's brow furrow deeper.
It is clear that the Iron Man is angry with the Council's previous practice of forcing the launch of nuclear weapons, and even refuses to go on a mission.
Of course, Nick Fury is also quite unhappy with the previous board of directors' approach.
It's just that the situation in front of them is urgent, and it is difficult for them to judge the safety of this 'ghost ship' that suddenly appeared, and the White House has also issued instructions to S.H.I.E.L.D., hoping that they can deal with the problem of this ship as soon as possible, and they cannot allow the topic of 'ghost ship' to continue to burn, causing greater panic among the people.
