Chapter 578: Dead Prison
"How's it going, Director?"
Controlling the metal wings to fall from the sky, the falcon's gaze retracted from the Rikers Island prison in the distance, and then turned to George? Director Stacey asked.
"It's a bit bad that we haven't been able to contact the warden in the prison since last night."
Furrowed, George? Stacy looked at the dead silence of the Rikers Island Supervisor and replied with a solemn face.
"Is there a riot in the prison?"
Hear George? Stacey's answer, Falcon naturally thought of the possibility of a prison riot.
"Not really."
Shaking his head, denying Falcon's speculation, the Chief of Police had an obvious look of unease and hesitation on his face.
"If it were just a riot, Rikers Island Prison wouldn't have been as quiet as it seemed." As the chief of the New York City Police Department, the prisoners in the Rikers Island prison are not all of them, but a large part of them pass through his hands.
So, for these criminals, George? Stacy knew very well that if everything was out of control because of the riots, the entire prison would have been shrouded in flames by this moment.
"Moreover, as the largest prison in New York City, the prison guards at Rikers Island Jail are equipped with a large number of repressive tools, and even if there is a large-scale riot, they can hold out for a period of time, not as ...... as they are in front of them."
The more you think about the problem of Rikers Island Jail, George? The more Stacy felt the weirdness and weirdness in it.
A prison as important as New York City lost contact, and the city government naturally noticed it in the first place.
After all, there are more than 10,000 criminals in prisons, and even a tenth of them can become a huge social problem.
Therefore, as soon as the problem occurred, the city government notified the New York City Police Commissioner, George ? Stacy.
And George? At the same time, Stacy also led the police force to rush to Rikers Island Prison with a large number of explosion-proof equipment.
Just, wait until George? When Stacy arrives at Rikers Island Prison, the expected riot scene does not appear, and on the contrary, Rikers Island Prison is as quiet as an empty prison.
Such a scene would be absolutely ecstatic if the mayor, who had just been re-elected, knew about it.
One of his political ideas when he was elected was to convert the Rikers Island prison into an airport, and the most critical issue in taking over the land of the Rikers Island prison was the more than 10,000 convicts who were imprisoned in it. For now, it seems that this question does not need to be considered anymore.
Of course, will the mayor be happy about this, George? Stacey didn't know.
At least George? Stacey herself didn't have the slightest joy at this, and even had a faint chill in her heart.
A prison where more than 10,000 people are held, but there is not the slightest sound coming out, the possibility contained in this, even if you think about it a little, you can't help but feel creepy.
"I've sent members of an elite squad inside the prison, but ......"
Before informing the Avengers, George? It's not like Stacy hasn't made an effort.
However, whether it is an elite police squad sent into the prison or a drone, as soon as they enter it, they lose their voice.
Coming and going, even George? Stacy herself felt the infiltration, and at the same time, she also realized that what was happening in the Rikers Island prison was clearly beyond the control of their police.
It can only be handed over to professionals.
As for who is most experienced in this strange and dangerous event in New York, it is naturally the Avengers.
For this reason, the Falcon did not rush to the post until he learned what had happened at Rikers Island Prison.
As a superhero who excels in mobility, Falcon takes the lead and rushes to Rikers Island Prison, the site of the accident.
In his voice to Police Chief George? Stacy describes the course of events.
The rest of the Avengers also arrived.
Natasha piloted the Quint fighter and slowly landed in the open space next to the Rikers Island prison, and Tony controlled the Mark 51 to appear in the classic ground-smashing posture of George? In front of Stacy.
Immediately after, the door of the fighter plane opened.
Nick Fury was the first to step out of the fighter plane with a blank face.
In addition to Captain America Steve, who is still far away in Romania, the Avengers can be said to be full of personnel in this operation, and even brought Black Panther and Jack Simon of the 'Chaos Insurgency'.
The former is because he took the initiative to join this operation, as a reward for the Avengers to help him find Chang Emir, and the latter Jack Simon, Nick Fury immediately thought of the possibility of [containment] after hearing about the situation on Rikers Island prison revealed by Ultron.
Although the relationship between the Avengers and the SCP Foundation was on the verge of rupture due to the First World War in Canada, the appearance of Jack Simon just made up for their weakness in the [containment].
"Looks like something isn't going well."
Getting off the fighter plane and rubbing his blonde hair, Jack Simon habitually lit a cigarette for himself while looking at the dead silence of Rikers Island Prison in front of him and pouted.
"So, all of this is really [containment]?"
Hearing Jack Simon's words, Nick Fury immediately frowned and said.
"In my opinion, any supernatural phenomenon that is different from reality is a kind of anomaly, and it is also an object that needs to be contained, so broadly speaking, even the Avengers are actually an anomalous [containment], but compared to those completely uncontrollable anomalies, the existence of the Avengers can be controlled, and it is one of the objects that can be co-opted and cooperated."
"It seems that this is the purpose of your 'Chaos Insurgency', to contain uncontrollable anomalies and cooperate with controllable [containment]."
"That's right."
Under Nick Fury's one-eyed scrutiny, Jack Simon nodded without hesitation in acknowledging the purpose of the Chaos Insurgency's actions.
At the same time, his eyes were returned to the nearby Rikers Island prison.
"It's just a pity that the anomaly in this prison doesn't seem to be a target to cooperate with, and more than 10,000 targets have been affected, even if it is an anomaly, it is a very dangerous target for containment, and you must be cautious."
"To make matters worse, no one knows exactly what the situation is inside the Rikers Island prison."
Will be from Director George? The information obtained from Stacy's mouth was relayed to everyone, and the expression on Falcon's face was also not easy.
"Judging by the abilities currently exhibited by the anomaly, it appears to have the ability to isolate communication, or sound......"
According to Falcon's intelligence, Jack Simon muttered with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Maybe I can try to sneak inside the prison."
Glancing over the Avengers in front of her, Natasha took the initiative to propose.
"After all, it's always been my specialty."
As a former S.H.I.E.L.D. super agent, Natasha has shown considerable confidence in her intelligence gathering.
"No, it's too dangerous."
However, in this regard, Banner raised his own objections.
"Judging from the current situation in the Rikers Island prison, it is obvious that it is not simply the military bases that you have infiltrated in the past, and even Jack Simon has said that all of this may be related to [Containment], and if you are not careful, you may be affected by [Containment]."
"If it really doesn't work, let me in, even if something dangerous happens, Hulk can come out and resist......"
Hulk: "......"
"How can you guarantee that the Hulk won't be affected by [containment]?"
Natasha didn't buy Banner's proposal and retorted bluntly.
"If Hulk gets out of control in prison, the threat posed could be even greater than what [containment] would pose."
"Maybe, you can leave it to me."
Silently listening to the Avengers' conversation with each other, the silent vision spoke.
"My ability to ensure that I will not be harmed by most attacks, and I will not be easily controlled by the other party, even [containment]."
Turning his head over the vision, the Avengers looked at each other silently.
I have to admit in my heart that what Vision said does make sense.
"Mr. Stark......"
Then Vision, Ultron spoke.
"The power of [the containment] should not have much effect on the machinery."
As an artificial intelligence, Ultron takes the initiative to take on the most dangerous jobs.
In fact, that's why it's made.
"I don't think there's anything to talk about, we have to know about what happened in the Rikers Island prison anyway. The lives of more than 10,000 people, even if they are all criminals, cannot be given up so easily, let alone the safety of those prison guards......"
Inside Mark 51, Tony slowly turned his helmet and swept over the Avengers in front of him.
Then he spoke: "So, not only Vision and Ultron, but I will also be in the Rikers Island prison. ”
"Tony!"
Hearing that Tony had volunteered to join the vanguard team to explore the inside of Rikers Island Prison, Natasha couldn't help but frown.
Because of Steve's absence, Tony has apparently become the second core of the Avengers after Captain America, and once he encounters any problems in Rikers Island Prison, the blow to the Avengers is obvious.
"I'll protect Mr. Stark."
Hearing Tony's offer to enter the Rikers Island prison with him, Vision's eyes flickered for a moment, and then said solemnly.
"Thanks, but I'll take care of myself."
Nodding his gratitude to Vision, Mark51 Netoni didn't think he was so vulnerable.
"Of course, knowing that all of this is likely to be related to anomalies, we naturally need a presence with knowledge of these [containment] anomalies to go in with us."
As he spoke, Tony's gaze fell on a figure in front of him.
"Can I do nothing?"
Feeling Tony's gaze from within Mark51, the corners of Jack Simon's mouth twitched slightly as he held a cigarette, and he looked up and said.
"What do you think, Mr. Jack Simon of the Chaos Insurgency?"
"Well, I was just kidding."
Hearing Tony's words, Jack Simon shrugged his shoulders and at the same time took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it with the cigarette butt in his mouth, frowning as he said.
"As a collaborator, I'm certainly happy to help you, especially with unusual issues."
……
"Sir, I'm ...... Seem...... Yes...... Some ......"
After identifying the personnel who had entered the Rikers Island Prison, Tony immediately took Jack Simon and his party to the front of the Rikers Island Jail.
The first thing Tony heard before standing at the barred iron gates of Rikers Island Jail was Jarvis's suddenly muffled and staccato voice.
"Mr. Stark, there seems to be a strange wave of energy around the Rikers Island prison affecting electronic communications."
Similarly, a few flashes of light flashed in the blue eyes, and Okuyama changed the frequency of electronic communication in his body and transformed it into a semi-quantum network that had just been developed, so that he could barely control his body, and then immediately reported to Tony on the side.
"Does it affect the communication network?"
The disconnection of Jarvis in Mark 51 obviously has a very serious impact on Tony, after all, most of the armor on his body is still controlled by Jarvis.
However, fortunately, Ultron on the side quickly took over the Mark51 network on his body, and at the same time, the subsystems in the armor were also turned on synchronously, and the network was automatically run when the network was disconnected.
Looking at the helmet that lit up again in front of him, Tony's brows furrowed tightly.
"It seems that this is the main reason why the information in the prison cannot be transmitted."
Jarvis, as the main system of Tony's steel suit, is naturally much more advanced than the simple communication of Rikers Island prison.
Even Jarvis's communication system has been affected, and the situation of internal communications in Rikers Island Prison can be imagined.
"What is blocking the network and communication, is it that kind of wave?"
Although surprised by the unknown energy wave's ability to block communication, Tony seems to be curious about this energy wave.
"Don't use common sense to figure out anomalies."
Looking at Tony with interest, Jack Simon poured cold water on him.
"If anomalies could be analyzed using common sense, then we wouldn't call them anomalies."
Taking out the [Yellow Lantern Ring] and putting it on his finger, Jack Simon used the power of the Lantern Ring to put on a spacesuit-like shell for himself, and reminded at the same time.
"Aren't you curious about the anomaly, haven't you wondered why it exists in this world?"
In the face of Jack Simon's answer, Tony obviously didn't take it too seriously.
"Don't try to find the reason for the existence of the anomaly, because it is a futile effort, the existence of the anomaly is like the universe deliberately trying to show absurdity and incredibleness, I have seen countless self-righteous people try to find out the purpose of the anomaly, and in the end they did not die in the anomalous experiments they studied......"
“…… It's crazy, or assimilated into an anomaly. ”
