The Kabbalah Tree of Life, made up of plague strains, didn't keep the Avengers waiting long.

Suddenly, the towering tree trembled.

Twenty-two tendrils wriggled like giant snakes, ten branches swayed violently, and miniature spores of the Ganges River fell like mist.

The Empire State Building, or the Tower of Babel, woke up.

The fungus blanket that covered the surface of the tall buildings began to extend downward, and the green torrent overflowed the concrete floor, engulfing the cars on the street, and the beeping of the vehicle alarm bell rang only a few times before being drowned out by the sound of the fungus blanket expanding.

The mushroom blanket expanded so rapidly that helicopters circling in the distant sky had to force the direction of their searchlights to keep up with the expanding pace of the fungus blanket.

"Oh my God, they're devouring the city!"

The exclamation of the nameless helicopter pilot probably represents the feelings of everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.

From the sky, the torrent of green expanded with lightning speed, engulfing all the tall buildings along Fifth Avenue, not even the Stark Tower.

The crazy overgrown fungus blanket even erupted from the sewer pipe, flying over the manhole cover, and it was only then that people realized that the power of the original fungus blanket could penetrate the reinforced concrete structure, penetrating any obstacle with a tenacious attitude.

"What's going on?"

Director Nick Fury hated his own powerlessness at this time, and could only ask in a deep voice, "How did the fungus blanket suddenly move?" ”

Leon tapped the console table with his fingertips, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately manipulated the command panel and directly called up the route map of the New York sewer pipeline in the internal system of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked faintly, ".... I said, the New York subway system has been getting frequent complaints about water leaks from time to time lately? Have there been any recent reports of people from the fire department going missing in the sewers? ”

“... That's right. ”

Senior Agent Phil Coulson gave the answer after just one phone call, "Last month, there was a small leak in a part of the New York subway system, and a worker was reported missing in the sewer last week." ”

Thor, who was at the scene, was surprised and said, "Everyone is missing, why didn't they attract attention?" ”

Agent Coulson coughed dryly, looked at his colleagues who were silent, and had no choice but to reply: "The New York sewer system has a long history, and it is often inhabited by some black people without relevant documents, and some strange incidents are not uncommon.

And the missing staff member was a temporary recruited Mexican worker, so..."

Leon smiled: "So no one cares about his life or death, and no one can find out that the fungus blanket that was parasitic in the underground facility as early as a month ago." ”

With a wave of his hand, he made a three-dimensional projection of New York's most cumbersome underground facilities and spread them out in the hall, "The fungus blanket is no longer limited to the Empire State Building, it is parasitic on every sewer outlet, getting nutrients from the sewage produced every day in this metropolis of 8 million people."

Only now, it has finally gathered enough strength to invade the entire city. ”

As if in response to Leon's words, the cocoons on the outside of the Empire State Building burst in response, and countless twisted mutants hatched and rushed towards the street below.

These mutants, completely eroded by the fungus blanket, are even more powerful than before, and the modification from the fungus blanket has covered their bodies with a layer of blue-black armor.

The small-caliber bullets used by the New York police could not penetrate at all, and the military's machine gun bullets could only leave deep holes on the surface of the heavy fungus blanket, which could not damage the essence of the other party at all, except for making the mutant stumble a little.

The army of mutants flew a number of armored vehicles in three or two clicks, tearing those ordinary armies like small fleshworms to shreds.

At the end of the street, the main battle tank, which had been waiting for a long time, finally came into play, and when the artillery roared, the thick and long shells from the crystallization of human civilization directly pierced through those mutants.

Armor piercing, blasting, burning, and instantaneous, the main battle tank battle group caused casualties to several mutants in a single shot.

The helicopter gunships in the sky were also firing with all their power, the chains of bullets spat out from the miniguns like steel knives slicing through the front of the mutant army, and the air-to-surface missiles that arrived later killed an entire street of monsters in a blaze of fire.

"No!"

As a big entrepreneur, Iron Man couldn't help but gasp when he saw that Manhattan's golden mile, where every inch of land was at a premium, was so badly violated, and couldn't help but shout: "Washington, are they crazy?" Bombing on their own territory with missiles? ”

"It's a necessity."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, looked at Manhattan's Fifth Avenue engulfed in flames, and chuckled softly, "Why did the fungus blanket create these mutants?"

It is because the spores that produce the blanket themselves have a limited transmission range, cannot come into contact with seawater, and are prone to die in the process of airborne transmission, so it is necessary to use more flexible mutants to help spread.

If the Constant Mutant is allowed to escape from New York and abscond to other inland cities, I am afraid that in a week, the entire American continent will become a country of fungus. ”

Humans are a warlike race, from bone mallets to bronze blades, from bows and spears to cannonballs.

Flesh and blood can't defeat steel, this is a wise saying.

Although carpet bombing has long been obsolete, and the world is now the world of surgical precision bombing, in the face of invisible and hard-to-find mutant spores, there is only one instruction from the Washington tactical command room.

Bomb, bomb hard, blow up and don't kill, then send a second helicopter formation and blow up a second time.

Now is no longer the time to think about reconstruction, and the princesses of Gongon, who have seen the speed of the expansion of the fungus blanket, no longer have the confidence to carry out the plan of "controlling the plague in New York".

For now, the only way to do this is to completely strangle the deadly threat in the cradle!

The bombardment of the missile array swept the entire street into the air, and even with the help of a precision guidance system, the aftermath of the explosion shattered the glass of the tall buildings on both sides of the street.

After a few breaths, the smoke dissipated, and the army of mutants that had just been invincible had been completely ablated, leaving only half of the steel wreckage of the car after the heat had melted down, and the huge gaps in the walls of those tall buildings.

At the same time, helicopter gunships are slowly heading towards Manhattan from the sky, and amphibious landing ships are slowly approaching from the sea, carrying tens of thousands of American soldiers on board, who will carry out orders from Washington.

Iron Man, who has a private satellite, is likely to be the first to react in the Avengers, and he looks incredulously at the screen of his helmet as the American troops march in large numbers, shouting into the microphone, "Wait, what are these troops doing?" ”

Inside the Helicarrier, Nick Fury said quietly, "If the fungus blanket gets out of control, they will use flamethrowers, napalm, incendiary bombs... All the weapons that can physically burn the spores have burned the fungus blanket of New York. ”

In short, with fire, purify everything.

Tony Stark licked his chapped lips and said bitterly, "What about the 8 million sporine-infected ordinary people in New York City?" ”

No one answered, and the entire Helicarrier was quietly terrifying.
