Chapter 163 Houston Chaos (Part 2)
Just when the real Steve Rogers was thinking hard about how to lure Mephisto out, a helicopter broadcast issuing an ultimatum appeared in the sky over Houston.
“What do they want to do? Why are they driving the citizens out of the city?” Johnny Blazer found it difficult to understand the state government’s approach: “Shouldn’t the army be sent in to save people?”
Steve, who had already experienced it once, instantly understood the state government's intention. His face instantly turned livid and he gritted his teeth.
"Haha!" Thor sneered, not hiding his disdain: "This country has never let me down in terms of shamelessness."
"What are they going to do?" Johnny asked quickly, with a hint of uneasiness.
"They didn't plan to send troops into the city. They probably planned to bomb the city directly." Thor sneered back.
"No, how could they do this!" Johnny couldn't believe it: "There are definitely many people trapped in the city. As long as the army is sent in to clean up the black skeletons, they can be rescued."
"Probably because it's easier to do this." Thor shrugged and smiled: "No matter how shameless things this country does, I won't be surprised."
"Asshole! Luo Shan is in danger. "Johnny doesn't have much compassion, he only cares about the people he cares about.
He has not yet had the idea of traveling between the two worlds to punish sins, he only wants to lift the curse and return to normal.
Johnny rushed out of the hotel and went straight to his ex-girlfriend's apartment.
After rescuing the man last night, the stimulated and naked Roxanne was unable to explain her experience, and had no face to face her ex-boyfriend. She strongly demanded to return to her apartment, so Johnny had to send the man away first. go back.
"Thor, there must be a large number of residents trapped in apartments and residential areas in the city. Can you help me..." Steve asked with difficulty: "You don't need to save them, just help open a gap to let people in." They escaped."
"Who made us friends?" Thor smiled and jumped out of the hotel window.
Steve gave a genuine smile.
Turn around and look at the magic-bound Witch Heart Demon, and added a few more magic chains to him, and then he went out with confidence.
The duo started in nearby apartments and housing estates.
As expected, a large number of residents were trapped at home, with black skeletons wandering in the narrow corridors, scaring the residents so much that they could only lock their doors and windows and not come out.
Not everyone has the courage to stand up to monsters, most people just want stability.
They were waiting for the army and police to come to the scene for rescue, but unexpectedly they received a notice from the state government asking them to flee on their own.
"Fake! Let us escape by ourselves. There are monsters outside. How can we escape?"
"Leave them alone, we will stay at home and save some food. Houston It’s a big city, and if it’s shut down for a day, the big shots will suffer even greater losses.”
“It’s too dangerous to go out, so just hide at home. Sooner or later, the big shots will send someone in!”
……
Since the outbreak of the Black Skull was still early and there were not many people in the office building, even if there were poor people working overtime all night, Steve could only choose to ignore it. He had to rescue more people in the shortest possible time.
Holding a green magic light shield in his left hand and a green magic sword in his right hand, Steve kept clearing the black skeletons on each floor.
At the same time, they shouted: "Residents, the Black Skull has been eliminated, everyone run!"
"Wow, a new superhero?" Many residents saw the corridor through the peephole of green light.
"Mom, should we go out? There will be no monsters outside."
"Ignore him, just stay at home. Even if there are no monsters in the corridors, there will be monsters on the street."
Steve, who had cleared several floors in a moment, looked back and saw that no one was running away at all. Go out. He was so angry that he shouted: "Come on! The government has sent bombers and they will bomb the city soon!"
This time, he finally opened a few doors.
"You...who are you?" A few heads popped out from behind the door, staring at Steve carefully and asking: "Is what you said true?"
After a moment of silence, Steve chose to return to his original appearance, and even used magic to put on a star-spangled tights for himself, and the shield in his hand became material.
"I am Steve Rogers, Captain America."
Unexpectedly, not only did his confession fail to win trust, but the few doors he finally opened were closed in a hurry.
Steve didn’t know that during the days he was studying magic in Asgard, the American government had publicized the existence of a counterfeit Captain America and taught everyone how to identify it.
The method is very simple. As long as you appear alone without a team of agents wearing SHIELD uniforms, you are an impostor!
What's more, counterfeiters can disguise themselves. Does the real Captain America need to disguise himself?
"Fake!" Steve was quite depressed.
But he didn’t have time to tangle with these people. He could only clean up the black skeletons layer by layer according to the original plan. After cleaning, he jumped directly from the top floor, used green magic to weave transparent wings for himself, and flew down. An apartment building.
Whether the residents believe it or not, Steve can only work hard and clear out the black skeletons besieging apartments and residential areas, and there will always be someone willing to leave.
At the end of the day, Steve was sleepless, and Thor was relatively casual, neither fishy nor active.
The two cleaned up many apartment buildings and residential areas, and some people had the courage to escape. However, compared to the entire Houston, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Finally, the countdown is over.
A group of black ghosts flew from the southern sky. Ten "B-2" bombers set sail from the Gulf of Mexico and arrived in Houston almost in the blink of an eye.
When the aerial bombs fell, Houston, who was hiding at home and unwilling to go out, finally realized what the government was doing.
The bombers did not drop bombs on the buildings as soon as they came up, but carried out carpet bombing on the streets, intending to clear the streets of black skeletons first.
Such a plan can relatively reduce the pressure of public opinion.
But for Houstonians under fire, there is not much difference.
In order to cause maximum damage to the Black Skull, and to prevent Houston from turning into a sea of flames and increasing the pressure of public opinion, the Air Force used shock bombs.
The shock wave tore apart the thin skeleton of the Black Skull, but also caused damage to the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street. The residents hiding in the buildings were even shocked to the point where their eardrums were ruptured and their orifices were bleeding.
This time, Steve, who had been fighting all day, dodged the aerial bombs that kept falling in the sky and roared at the sky: "Asshole! These are all our compatriots!"
Steve is not the only one who feels this way, the Texas consortium is equally angry.
Texas is their basic base, and big cities such as Austin, Houston, and Dallas are the most elite areas in their hands, especially Houston, a southern port city, whose importance to the Texas consortium is self-evident. .
However, several other major consortiums took advantage of the unexpected death of their interlocutors and left them without a leader, and blatantly passed the bombing plan, obviously with strong personal grudges.
The Texas consortium is a late learner, and because it condones "red necks" advocating independent thoughts, the relationship with the established consortium has never been harmonious.
It doesn’t matter whether we are independent or not. This is just a method used by the Texas consortium to express its attitude.
The other party seized the opportunity and obviously severely weakened the strength of the Texas consortium, causing them to lose the capital to advocate independence. From now on, they can only obey the arrangements honestly.
The talkers in other consortiums are all scheming guys, and there is no harmony between the consortiums. After all, there are only so many resources, who doesn’t want to fight for them?
If you don’t have a chance, you have to create an opportunity, not to mention the God-given opportunity where all the top executives of the Texas consortium are wiped out?
If you don’t seize the opportunity, are you still called a monopoly capitalist?
