Iron Man confronts the Masked Man at the top of the building, and S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters hover the periphery waiting for the moment to cut into the battlefield.

All of New York City's police force was thrown into the streets to maintain order, but in front of the panicked crowd, it was like a pebble caught in a wave, which was eaten away before it could make a splash.

......

The Hispanic police officer with blast shields held up to the pushing crowd and yelled for them to back off, but to no avail, instead he and his colleagues kept moving backwards.

"Director, fire the gun!"

In desperation, the police officer only applied for the use of firearms as if the chief behind him had applied for the use of firearms.

This was undoubtedly their most humiliating operation, with guns, stun batons, tear gas, and all weapons not allowed to be used.

The only thing that can be done is to put on body armor and blast shields, and stop here like a human wall to stop all residents who want to escape from New York, so as not to spread the chaos to the whole of the United States.

According to the war reports in the telecommunication headsets, the police officers in the city who suppressed the riots were even worse, and those who lost their minds did not want to listen to useless advice, and at first they only smashed the flower shop, but later it turned into all kinds of brawls, robberies, and arson.

Even though police officers have shot and killed many rioters with guns, more and more people have become brutal and insensitive because of their cowardice.

People spontaneously become a member of the spread of chaos under fear, and the lack of police force makes these police officers fighting on the front line of the battlefield unable to suppress the riots, or to stabilize the current situation from developing to a worse level.

The once bustling city has become a quagmire of methane, and a single spark can wipe it out.

The explosion, the spark that ignites the torch of destruction, is the explosion promised by the masked man.

In any area, if there is a large-scale explosion, the people of New York, who have only a few remnants of sanity, will fall into complete madness, exhausting all their energy to vent their fears until everything is destroyed, or everything is destroyed.

Unfortunately, there were no explosions at all, which is why Ember said that the four areas he divided were not equal.

A long enough distance can isolate the spread of flames and sounds to the greatest extent, even if someone finds the detonator and presses it, he doesn't know how the four areas are divided and where they are located, and he will only guess that it is because the distance is too far away that he did not see the fire of the explosion and hear the roaring sound, instead of suspecting that the detonator in his hand is a kind of goods, and he is just a puppet on the stage that is fiddled with by the controller.

"The supporting army is already on its way, everyone hold on a little longer!"

The chief sitting not far from the rear was a burly man, and he was also a warrior who dared to attack the gang trading place with a gun alone, but even he, who was called "Bull" Crewe by his superiors, did not dare to give the order for the police to fire a gun.

The crowd pushing and shoving was not one or two, one hundred or two hundred, and the dense figures were like zombies besieging the city, and they lost their courage just by looking at them, let alone others.

Crewe's eyesight is good, and he can clearly see the expressions of the people in front of the crowd, their faces are resentful, fearful, numb, confused, but they are not rational.

If they had broken their tense nerves because of external influences, they would never be able to stop the hundred and ten people under their own command alone.

The blockade is breached, and tens or even hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their minds will pour out of New York and throughout the United States.

What will happen then?

No one thinks about it, and no one dares to think about it!

This is not the first time that the application for the use of firearms has been mentioned, and it is not mentioned by one person, but hearing the rhetoric of the self-head officer who still avoided talking about it, the morale of the police officers, who were once again hit by disappointment, became more and more demoralized.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the connecting line constructed by the human wall has moved back four or five steps and crashed into the police cars and debris parked horizontally behind them, and the defense line has reached a precarious level.

No one is stupid, and the officers know very well that the chief's words are nothing more than a rhetoric to encourage them to die.

The so-called support army may be there, but the arrival time will definitely not be as fast as the director of their own country said, their first purpose must be to build a second or more line of defense on the periphery of New York City, and then enter the city to rescue, and finally, will come to support them.

The explosion that may come at any time not only stimulates the hearts of ordinary people, but also makes the nerves of police officers on the verge of tension at all times, they also have families, and they will also worry about the situation of themselves and their loved ones, and they may still be able to rely on their sense of responsibility to stick to the front line, but no one knows if the collapse will happen in the next second.

Being able to sit in the position of the director, Crewe is obviously not a reckless and brainless guy, and seeing the low morale of his subordinates, he began to shout: "Iron Man will soon catch that damn mutant, just like before!"

"What we have to do is to stop the spread of panic and chaos as much as possible, and wait for victory to come!"

"Man, we're all heroes," Crewe waved his arms on, cheering up every officer he could see, "We're all big heroes!"

"Our kids will admire us as much as they adore Iron Man, and when this mission is over, we will receive not only a prize money, but also honor and gratitude from the American people. ”

"Even if we are unfortunately killed in the explosion, we can still enjoy the honor of covering the face of the national flag and five times the compensation!"

"Be happy, Rooney," the police chief encouraged, patting the frustrated officer on the shoulder, "The turmoil in New York has focused the eyes of the world, the whole world is watching us, and maybe your face is showing up on the player screen in front of the president and congressmen." ”

"Don't be sad about your face, people will say that you are a little calf, not a brave and senseless police officer under Crewe 'Bull'. ”

The originally demoralized police officer let out a laugh, and his tired body regained its strength.

Rooney's face turned red after being ridiculed, and the young police officer didn't care that it was time for him to take a break, grabbed the blast shield at hand and rushed forward, full of energy like the breeding cattle that had just been introduced from the cattle farm.

......

In New York City, military support has arrived, and a hundred and ten helicopters have begun the transfer of the masses.

The frightened crowd was not only not surprised, but became more and more restless, after all, for a densely populated cosmopolitan city, the transfer of a few thousand people at a time is really a drop in the bucket.

It's not that the army doesn't want to use ground transportation, but because the disaster like an earthquake set off by the masked people blocked the road traffic in the city, abandoned vehicles were congested on the road, and fallen trees were staggered to block it, and it was not easy to clear a smooth road, and time, obviously, was not on their side.

"Please, sir, let my child go up, he's only nine years old!" begged a white man in his early thirties.

The leading second lieutenant nodded in agreement, and the order he received was to evacuate the women and children first, and the other party's request did not contradict the instructions of the upper peak.

The soldier stepped forward and took the child's hand and pulled him towards the helicopter, and when he saw that the man's plea was effective, soon a group of people fell to their knees.

Young children were pushed out by their parents and pulled into the helicopter crying out.

The second lieutenant frowned, a little unbearable, there are still too many people, they can't take them away at one time, they are all children, who to take with them or not, no one can make a decision in cold blood.

Thinking of this, the commander of the rescue team sighed and motioned to the signal corps to contact the other rescue teams to see if he could get a few helicopters out for them.

"Sir, I've been contacted, they're ......"

The signal soldier shook his head instead of the latter words, and did not repeat the angry response of the other rescue teams.

"Also, there are a lot of people," the lieutenant said with a wry smile, "the dense population used to be the pride of New York City, but now, maybe three-quarters of the people will die because of it." ”

The second lieutenant was very understanding of the disregard of the other rescue teams.

There would be no shortage of people at any of the rescue sites, and if it weren't for the blocking of the roads and the chaos and gunfire that still didn't stop, there would have been more people gathered at the rescue site.

Just as he was about to explain a few more words, the crowd not far away broke into a riot.

"What's going on!"

The second lieutenant stepped forward and angrily stared at a bewildered soldier and asked.

"I didn't use my strength, sir, he fell to the ground on his own!"

The soldier was at a loss to argue, apparently having no experience in dealing with related matters.

Glancing at the man who was still wailing on the ground and the boy who had almost gotten into the helicopter but had run back because he heard his father's screams, the second lieutenant ignored the recruit who couldn't even understand what had happened, and asked his adjutant what had happened.

"That guy is the one who begged him to get on the plane first," the adjutant did not hide it at all, and described the cause and effect of the incident in detail: "After you agreed to his request, he begged us to let him get on the plane first, but we refused. ”

"Without boarding permit, he said that his child could not live without him, either let him leave with the child, or let him stay with him, and everything that happened will be counted on our heads when the time comes!"

No one paid attention to him, and he tried to break in, but Koponine was angry and shoved him, and then he fell to the ground. ”

The second lieutenant did not speak, but looked at the crowd that was stirred up by the man's wail, and stepped forward with a cold face.

Ignoring the man on the ground, he took the boy who cared about his father's body in his arms.

The palm of his left hand covered the child's eyes, and with his right hand, he pulled out the pistol in the holster on his waist, and in the man's frightened eyes, a shot pierced his eyebrows.

The adjutant also stepped forward, took the child in the second lieutenant's arms with an indifferent expression, ignored his cries and struggles, and carried him onto the plane without looking back.

Don't ask whether it's right or wrong, kill people.

The tumultuous crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone who gave the lieutenant a cold look dodged into the depths of the crowd.

The fear piled up to the extreme, and I didn't know who would get up first, and the crowd dispersed, and then ran away in groups, trying to find a chance to escape from New York elsewhere, leaving only some of the women and children still with their parents to stay where they were, waiting for the next return of the rescue helicopter.
