Chapter 869 Big Tsunami(1/2)

"I said it! I..." Arthur opened the door forcefully, intending to say a few harsh words, but he found that someone had changed at the door.

A bald man and several people stood in front of his door.

"Who are you?" These people were obviously not from Atlantis, but looked a bit like spies. Arthur asked cautiously.

"Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." Phil said with a smile.

Arthur was a little confused: "What, what, what?"

"You can call us SHIELD." This is not the first time Phil has encountered this situation. Anyway, he will be complained about every time. SHIELD themselves are also disappointed with this bad name. It is too long.

You will forget it if you are not careful.

"What does SHIELD...do?" Arthur has never heard of SHIELD, which is normal.

"Well, how to explain it... You can think of us as a secret organization of the government, specially designed to deal with various supernatural events." Phil explained a little helplessly.

SHIELD, for those who know it, is naturally famous and a huge behemoth, but for those who have never heard of it... it really has no power at all. If only the Avengers plan was successful, just say that we are the Avengers.

The organizers of the alliance were extremely effective.

It's a pity that this was not successful. Therefore, SHIELD couldn't come up with any shocking achievements to shock people. It's not that they didn't have achievements. In fact, those achievements were carried out in secret, and no one heard of them.

Arthur could probably guess why these people were looking for him.

"What do you want from me?"

"That's right. We have many questions about the previous attack in Cien Port. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

"Then what?"

"Nature is to evaluate the event, and then take the next step based on the evaluation."

Phil was still smiling. He was very optimistic about Arthur. When sorting out Arthur's information, he noticed that with Cien Port as the center and a radius of hundreds of nautical miles, there were often news about miraculously rescued ships from wrecks, once or twice.

Maybe it's a real miracle, but if it happens too often, there's a problem.

Obviously all this is the work of the Atlantean in front of me.

This proves that Arthur is a good person.

At least he is a person with a righteous heart. This kind of person is the easiest person to be inspired and accept the recruitment of SHIELD.

Arthur shook his head. He didn't know much about SHIELD, so he didn't really believe that such an organization could intervene in the feud between Atlantis and him.

"That matter has nothing to do with you, and I have nothing to say. You can go." Arthur said and planned to close the door.

Ward on the side blocked the door. He was not easy to talk to.

"What if we must know?"

"Ward!" Phil shouted immediately. "Don't do this! Mr. Arthur is not an enemy."

"But it doesn't have to be a friend! He is too dangerous, and we cannot let such a dangerous person stay among the crowd." Ward said seriously.

SHIELD has always been a disciplined force, otherwise it would not have existed for so long. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a leader to lose command of his subordinates like now. If this were to happen, it would have been chaotic long ago, even if

Phil is a smooth talker and there is no way he would allow this to happen.

To put it bluntly, they are just playing a double act.

Sometimes you still need to pay attention to methods and skills when doing things.

But just as the two were performing, Arthur suddenly said: "Sir, you are here!"

Ward and Phil suddenly woke up, there was someone behind them!

Several people turned their heads and looked behind them.

It's Kai.

Phil's expression froze. To be honest, he was a little afraid of seeing Kai. Every time SHIELD messed up something, Kai would habitually attack them.

Although no major harm was caused each time, being attacked by life and not being able to fight back... that was not a pleasant feeling.

But this time Kai showed great restraint. He just glanced at the SHIELD team and then stopped looking at them: "Arthur, there's trouble! Let's go to Cien Port immediately!"

Arthur thought of something immediately.

"They're coming?!"

"It's more troublesome than that!" Kai said with a solemn expression.

At this time, the computer in Simmons' hand also sounded an alarm.

"Sir! It's not good..."



Since killing those Atlanteans last time, Kai knew that this matter would not end easily. So before evacuating, Kai deliberately found the local police station, explained the situation to the local police chief, and hoped that the police chief would

Able to organize the evacuation of manpower from Cien Port.

Unfortunately, although the Sheriff is willing to believe Kai, the problem is that he does not have the power to do so.

The government presence in small cities like the United States is very poor. This is also the small government that the United States is accustomed to.

Speaking of which, the American political system is actually very conscious. At the federal level, the power of the government is very huge. Even though many people advocate a small government, in fact there are still a huge number of civil servants in the federal government. Not only that, many departments have developed

It has become a super organization, such as the Internal Revenue Service, FBI, CIA, etc. These organizations have become very large, which also established the federal government's suppression of American states under the federal system.

In a sense, this can also be regarded as a means to maintain the unity of the United States.

But when it comes to local areas, the situation is reversed. The smaller the local area, the worse the sense of existence of local governments. Local self-control is very common, and the situation is different in each state. This results in the United States basically having no grassroots governance capabilities. Even large-scale

The same is true for cities.

Why are gangs so popular in the United States? Part of the reason is precisely because of the poor grassroots governance capabilities. When this part of power is missing, someone will naturally seize it to fill this part of the power. Those grassroots communities with good public security and a strong sense of self-protection will naturally

Grassroots power can be exercised by grassroots organizations such as residents' joint defense and residents' federations. However, once a community cannot maintain its power well, gangs will seize this power. This refers specifically to poor areas.

In addition, this high degree of self-control will also lead to a lack of grassroots mobilization capabilities, which is the main reason why there is a huge difference in grassroots mobilization capabilities between my country and the United States. Usually it is fine, but once there is an emergency, such as a natural disaster, this kind of mobilization will The difference between abilities is particularly obvious.

So is Cien Port.

Not to mention the police chief, even the mayor of Cien Port does not have this power. (The municipal administrative level in the United States is very different from that in China. In fact, there is no essential difference between a town and a city)

Even with Kai's repeated insistence, the police chief called the mayor, but in the end, he only issued an emergency evacuation notice.

Whether those people listen or not...that's another matter.

The Americans are particularly concerned about this. They feel that if the government forces them to evacuate, it will violate their rights.

In short, don’t expect to see the same kind of grassroots mobilization capabilities found in China here.

There was nothing Kai could do about this situation.

Not even if he is a superhero.

In the end, Kai could only leave some means to deal with emergencies.

And the facts proved that Kai's worries were correct.

Just now, the means left behind by Kai sensed violent energy fluctuations in the outer sea of ​​Cien Port!

So he took action immediately, planning to take Arthur and the others to save people.

Sometimes, Kai really hates having to deal with those people who don't listen to advice. In several major incidents, most of the police's power was used to deal with such trivial matters. This is a serious waste of resources. When Kai was in New York before

, it’s not that I haven’t suggested to the mayor to strengthen his grassroots governance capabilities.

It's a pity that it's useless. The Americans have always been arrogant. They always think that they are number one in the world, so everything about them is perfect and correct.

But is this really the case?

The reason why the United States has become a superpower is certainly due to its political system, but just think that this system is perfect? ​​That is just a matter of course. How can there be any perfect system in this world?

Anyway, Kay's proposal didn't even get a chance to be discussed by the city council. They refused to change it.

It's similar here in Ci'en Port.

When Kai arrived, it was still peaceful here, and it wasn't that no one was obedient. Some people also left early. But compared to the entire population of Cien Port, it was still too small.

Arthur was flown by Katie to the top of Cien Harbor, and then he stared at the sea in the distance with his mouth open.

"Oh, God!"

Don't blame Arthur for being impatient, the scene in front of him is really amazing!

On the sea surface twenty nautical miles away from Cien Port, waves actually gathered under the control of clusters of blue rays of light, while the water level here at Cien Port was dropping rapidly, just like the ebbing tide! Then waves of water sounds could be heard.

A massive mass of twenty to thirty meters gathered and rushed towards Cien Port!

Like a tsunami!

"Fake! I knew it! I knew this would happen!" Ward cursed crazily in the Quinjet. "Fake Atlantis!"

Phil's always smiling face now became extremely ugly.

Well, in stories about princes in trouble, there is always an unlucky guy who encounters an unlucky person. And humans, Americans to be precise, will always be the unlucky guy.

"Fitz! Is there any way to stop that thing!"

Fitz was looking at the computer screen attentively, and the scanner was continuously scanning and analyzing the causes of the giant waves.
To be continued...
