Chapter 41: The Blockade
Peggy squatted on the embankment and looked at the calm East River below, her heart was uneasy, since the parking lot shooting, she hadn't seen Daredevil and Frank again, especially Daredevil Matt had returned to that state of incommunicacy, but the unusually calm of Hell's Kitchen recently made her feel like something big was coming.
Ever since he saw Fang Juexia and the man in the white mask, the panic in his heart has grown day by day, and he always sees the evil ghost he killed crawling back from hell to ask for his life in the middle of the night.
That evil ghost is Kim Naga's assistant and hair younger, James Wesley, because Peggy investigated Kim's life through Kim's mother in a nursing home, and was killed when Wesley tried to kill her, and the gun was thrown into the East River.
It stands to reason that finding a pistol in the East River, which leads to the Atlantic, is a needle in a haystack, but she always thinks that this matter will be exposed to the eyes of the world, and the used pistol is the best evidence that points to her.
Peggy paced back and forth on the embankment, trying several times to jump into the dark water to find the pistol, but she felt that she was simply making a fool, perhaps some zealous god in the universe sensed her pleading, and the water rippled round and round, and a fish-headed monster climbed up, webbed in his hand holding the gun.
She screamed in fright and turned to run, only to see that the diver was still standing in place, as if she had no intention of chasing.
Peggy looked back for a long time, cautiously approaching the abominable monster, tentatively trying to get the gun in its hand, but it didn't move.
"I'll help you find this gun, and if you want to take it, are you ready to pay the price?" A hoarse sound sounded like a snap in his throat, and the deepdiver's face, which still had human features, smiled unsightly.
She had also heard rumors of a group of monsters coming to Hell's Kitchen in the past few days, and more and more people had begun to transform into monsters after receiving their help, wanting to go to the Lost City under the sea, and these patients had filled the Hospital of Our Lady and the mental hospital.
"I ......"
Before he could make up his mind, an arrow broke through the air and shot into the diver's head with precision, causing it to fall back into the water with the pistol in a miserable howl, and Daredevil also took this opportunity to rush from a distance, and asked, "Are you okay?" Now these demagogic monsters are all over the streets, and you shouldn't go out at this time. ”
He sensed that Peggy had collided with a deep diver in the S.H.I.E.L.D. hotel stronghold and hurriedly let Hawkeye shoot an arrow, and in the past few days, not only him, but the entire Avengers have not had a good time.
The Deep Diver evades the surveillance of the East River and uses the sewers to haunt the entire Hell's Kitchen without even noticing, and by the time it is too late for S.H.I.E.L.D. to react, the tentacles of darkness have spread throughout the city.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ability is still more than a notch stronger than the police station in Hell's Kitchen, and they have captured the traces of deep divers several times and handed them over, but the vitality of this group of monsters is far beyond ordinary people, and as long as they find that the situation is wrong, they will immediately escape into the East River or sewers, so the mutation has not gained more than one except that Hawkeye successfully shot one from a distance.
As for Iron Man, because his armor is too flamboyant, it is not suitable to appear here, and now ordinary people in Hell's Kitchen should not know that the Avengers have intervened in this matter.
After finally comforting Peggy and sending her back, she returned to the hotel conference room, where the round table was already full of people, all with solemn faces.
"How? Have you found our kidnapped monster show host or the masked mystery man? Stark's face was not good-looking, and he was anxious about the situation outside, but he couldn't find the right time to make a move.
"The Hand has been working hard for many years, and there are countless strongholds on the surface, let alone secretly, maybe we should prepare for the worst, Tony." Captain America Steve has already worn a shield this time and changed into a red and blue suit, which shows his true color even more.
"And it's time to tell the residents of Hell's Kitchen what happened and get them out of here, and now it's time to hide it."
"No one can be allowed to leave, and the entire Hell's Kitchen must be locked down while continuing to control the information on the Internet and not let the situation continue to unfold." Stark only thought for a moment before making up his mind, banging on the table and saying, "I'll ask Ross to mobilize an army over." ”
"Tony, paper can't contain fire, and we shouldn't hide the truth." Black Widow Natasha was lying on the table, her hair was still wet, and her black tight combat suit had been changed into loose home pajamas at this time, and the perfect body curves displayed from time to time were even more attractive.
She led a team to search most of the Hell's Kitchen sewers last night, and it was full of stench and fishy smells, and after returning to the hotel to take a shower, she didn't even have time to sleep before coming to the meeting.
"Concealing the truth? No! I'm here to protect you, to protect everyone. Hearing that he had been charged with a trumped-up charge, Tony stood up and stared wide-eyed, pointing to the crowd present, "Have you ever been to the hospital to see those who are being transformed?" I went and got the best psychiatrists, surgeons, internists, veterinarians, geneticists, and a whole bunch of other experts from New York. ”
"From this came the conclusion that those people not only had changed their appearance and physiology, but also muttered inexplicable words such as the underwater city of Ralaye, Dagon, and Allah Cthulhu in front of the corners of the walls."
"Do you see what I mean? In other words, not only the genes have become monsters, but even the souls have been assimilated, from the inside out, completely. ”
"What the hell! We don't know who in Hell's Kitchen has been in contact with deep divers and who hasn't, so if some of them sneak out and spread the mutation throughout New York and even the beautiful country, it would be a real problem. ”
"So we've got to lock down the whole hell's kitchen! Don't let anyone get out of here until the matter is settled! ”
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and after anticipating the future that Stark had depicted, everyone couldn't help but shudder, it was a picture of hell that no one wanted to see.
"We can find a way to distinguish the mutated person from the normal person, otherwise it will hurt too much......"
"Listen to me, Captain! I'll figure out how to tell the difference, but just to be on the safe side, no one is allowed to get in! ”
"Okay." Steve spread his hands, although he didn't quite approve of this method, but there was no better solution for a while, "But you have to warn the residents and let them take precautions, right?" ”
