Chapter 66: Hunting for the Lizardmen (Part II)
The NYPD police sprang into action, and all but the necessary officers on duty were chased out into the street, and one by one they pried open the sewer manhole covers and inspected the pipes below.
For a while, the police complained, and the criminals on the street could not be caught, and the office sat in the air conditioner and sang songs, and they were driven out.
On a hot day, basking in the sun, I drilled into the sewers one by one.
The taste, the temperature.
It's just sour.
Director Stahi and his men drilled the sewers for a day, but they didn't find a single hair, and they were all half exhausted.
But that's not all, because they found nothing, which made the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents very unhappy, and asked the police to work overtime and search overnight, in short, to find the lizardmen.
The police were in an uproar and protested one after another, and the directors of the various sub-bureaus were particularly dissatisfied, and said angrily to Director Stahi: "The brothers are tired for a day, and they haven't found anything except a group of rats, and those bullshit shield bureaus are not satisfied, do you want the brothers to become sewer rats and stay for a month?" ”
Director Starcy was also embarrassed, because S.H.I.E.L.D. was different from the two men in suits he had met before, and those two men were only holding a license document to play tricks.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. not only has authorization documents, but also people have guns, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special forces have also drilled into the sewers with them, so you can't complain.
"So what!?" The directors of the sub-bureau were annoyed and angry, "Brothers, I am tired for a day, I really can't do anything, I must rest!" ”
Before Director Stahi could speak, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly stood up and said coldly: "The search can't be stopped, you are not only facing a monster with great lethality, but also a terrorist with the ability to create biological and chemical weapons, and every minute we find him, the danger of New York City will increase by one point." ”
"We've gone through the sewers, and he might not be there at all!" The police underground complained, "We may have slipped down the sewer into the sea a long time ago, and our efforts were completely in vain." ”
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent frowned, swept around with some anger, and was about to say something when he was stopped by someone, and he looked back and saw that it was Agent Coulson.
"Tom, let me do it." Coulson smiled, and Tom nodded and stood aside, Coulson was much higher in rank than him, and now he could breathe a sigh of relief to take over here.
Coulson looked around with a smile and looked at the sweaty police officers below for a few seconds, and then he suddenly said, "Double the overtime pay tonight." ”
As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately fell silent, and all the police officers looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with a hurry.
"From now on, we will work in shifts and divide into two shifts, one with an hour's break." Coulson continued, "S.H.I.E.L.D. also prepared some late-night snacks and drinks for everyone, of course, only coffee and soda, no alcoholic beverages, after all, we still have to work. ”
The policemen suddenly showed joy, they had money and could take a breath, and they had free food and drink, which was already very good.
"At the end of the operation, S.H.I.E.L.D. will invite all the officers involved in the operation to have a drink, and we will pay for it." Coulson finally said, "Any more questions?" ”
The policemen looked at each other, and before they could say anything, suddenly a fast food van drove around, and the driver of the car jumped down, opened the car, and then took out a hamburger hot dog, as well as Coke, coffee and other drinks.
The aroma of food immediately filled the surroundings, and the policemen couldn't wait any longer, so they rushed over with a cheer and began to grab food and drink.
Director Stacy looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with some embarrassment, but fortunately, Coulson didn't care, and reached out and handed him a hamburger.
Taking a bite of the burger that Coulson handed him, Director Stahi felt that he had regained his strength and spirit, and the fatigue of the day had been relieved a lot.
In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Director Stacy was the first to ask, "Is what you just said true?" ”
"What?" Coulson paused for a moment.
"You said that monster can make biological weapons?" Director Stahi asked tentatively, "Are you encouraging my men?" ”
Coulson's face darkened, "Mr. Director, do you think I flew back from the North Pole and ran to the New York sewers at night to play a joke on you?" ”
Director Stahi immediately grew his mouth in shock, and he didn't even bother to eat the burger, and he immediately knew that something was wrong when he saw Coulson's serious expression, and that something was wrong.
"How serious is the situation?" Director Stahi asked through gritted teeth, pretending to be calm.
Coulson sighed, "According to our intelligence, the entire Manhattan plus Brooklyn and Queens are within the range of infection, and the specific number cannot be estimated. ”
"What will it use? Anthrax? Gas? Smallpox? Or something else? "As the chief officer in charge of security in New York, Director Stahi naturally has comprehensive counterterrorism training.
In the aftermath of 911, counterterrorism experts developed several contingency plans for the NYPD and detailed analysis of the number of cities damaged in various situations, and Director Starcy knew exactly what the consequences of a chemical and biological weapons attack would be.
That's not a few thousand casualties, but hundreds of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.
Coulson's next words nearly caused Director Stashy to have a heart attack, "It's worse than that, that lizardman is a biologist himself, and what he uses is his own making, and we can only estimate the worst-case scenario." ”
"We're not enough police, I need the support of the National Guard!" Director Stahi said with a pale face, and he reached out and pulled out his phone with a little trembling, "I'm going to call the mayor." ”
Coulson didn't stop him, just showed a helpless wry smile, "When the National Guard comes, they will have to collect the corpses of New York City." ”
Director Stushy immediately understood Coulson's words, to achieve his position political acumen, to call the National Guard needs to go through the procedure, and according to the procedure is to kill people, the bureaucrats are, and when the National Guard comes, they can really only collect the corpse for everyone.
When they need to be responsible, those bureaucrats and parliamentarians run faster than the other, and they don't need to be responsible for anything that happens anyway, which is the biggest benefit of cooking.
Just when Director Stahi's heart was like ashes, a long armored car suddenly drove up, slowly stopped beside him, and soon a tall figure wearing black armor jumped out of the armored car.
The man in the black armor stepped up and lifted his helmet, revealing a grim and cruel face, "Agent Coulson, the Counterintelligence Agency Operations Force is here to report. ”
Coulson paused for a moment, then said in surprise, "It's great that Rumlow is you, and you're here." ”
Rumlow smiled, "It was Mr. Wayne's order that I brought all the brethren here. ”
As the compartment door of the armored car opened, the special forces soldiers in black armor jumped down one by one, and suddenly the wide street was filled with a group of tall figures.
