Chapter 1408 The Man Behind the Scenes
A large number of New Yorkers were evacuated, including not only law-abiding citizens, but also many criminals in prisons. Naturally, the two cannot be mixed together and transferred. As the saying goes, they are clearly distinct.
After entering the tunnel, the prison's transport convoy was blocked inside. Some criminals smiled and thought the masked man was very interesting. Such a loud momentum turned New York into a mess.
But there are also criminals with solemn faces. Although they commit crimes, they are only forced by the pressure of life. New York is their hometown, and they do not want New York to become a dead city.
Nowadays, New York is almost being ruined by masked men. For criminals who were born and raised in New York, this is not a good thing.
The guards were nervous and couldn't reach the prison in the next city in time, which was a danger for them, and every second wasted on the road was a danger.
At this moment, the guards noticed that a drone suddenly appeared outside the car. It was weird and they didn't know what it meant. There is also something like a handle hanging on this drone.
The drone landed, and the guard nervously took the things off the drone. In addition to the handle, there was a letter with the mask of the masked man printed on it.
"This tunnel is already filled with explosives, but congratulations on getting the remote control. Maybe you are wondering why I left the remote control to you. That's because this remote control controls the bomb in another tunnel. That tunnel On the other side of the city, there is good news, that is, they also have a remote control..." The guard read the contents of the letter and felt sweating.
Both sides hold each other's remote control, which means they control the other's life and death?
Then there must be conditions later.
The guard looked down in horror: "...If you want to survive, strike first, because the other party also has the same information. Don't think about escaping. I have sealed both sections of the tunnel. You can't escape." , show your heart to the world.”
More drones suddenly appeared, and they were here to conduct live broadcasts.
In another tunnel, there are students and patients, as well as many innocent citizens. It’s not like this tunnel is 80% filled with criminals.
Netizens are going crazy. Although the FBI wanted to block the live broadcast, it was of no use. Countless people poured into the live broadcast room to witness a choice between good and evil.
"Mask Man!" Director Nick slapped the table angrily. The mask man wanted to bring out the evil in everyone's heart. It would be okay if a criminal detonated it first, but if a citizen detonated it in order to survive, the self-confidence of the people would be seriously affected.
Is it to sacrifice civilians to protect good beliefs, or to bury criminals and usher in the new life of evil?
No matter what the choice is, it will be an unbearable disaster. The masked man is crazy, he is really crazy.
"Everything is his plan?!" Deputy Secretary Hill felt a chill running down her back: "Are those bombs and those threats all for this purpose? To let people all over the world see the hearts of the people. ? He wants to prove that everyone is just as evil as he is."
Yes, turning New York upside down is all about dissecting the good and evil of human nature.
The people in the tunnel found that they were really stuck in the hole, and the bomb was flashing a strange red light on the top of the tunnel.
"We need Iron Man," Chief Nick shouted.
"But Tony is in Tokyo now." Hill said.
"Didn't he design a remote control device for the steel suit?" Director Nick said sadly: "No matter what, contact Tony first."
There is a remote control system, but it is not fully developed yet, but Tony said that he can ask his friend Colonel Rhodes, who has the Iron Patriot, to help.
The Iron Patriot was injured before and has not yet been completely repaired, but the US military still sent him.
However, before the Iron Patriots set off, the US military received a call from the masked man: "If you dare to help, we will blow up both tunnels." This time, no one dared to take action.
The whole of New York is filled with the different sirens of police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, etc., one after another like a sad song.
“This great city is trembling under the control of the masked man.” A TV reporter stood in the empty Times Square and reported pessimistically that everything was over: “The masked man is the most terrifying enemy this country has ever faced. People know him, no one knows what he is going to do. He just shows up and takes control of everything. If he really needs to be famous, he does it. Now every one of us remembers him." "God bless. America, God bless.”
The masked man surpassed Saddam and Bin Laden and became the most terrifying enemy.
If Dulan is arrested again, he will definitely not be sent to a mental hospital, but directly put into the most rigorous prison for the rest of his life.
"Don't you have any clues?" Time passed by, and the people in the two tunnels were about to collapse. Nick couldn't let the worst happen: "Is there a way to interfere with the bomb's signal? From such a distance, it should be possible to interfere."
Hill woke up from his dream. Yes, he could interfere with the signal: "I'll do it immediately."
At this time, a man in the civilian tunnel had stood up. He took the button and prepared to save everyone in full view of the public.
Everyone is looking at him, not just the hostages in the tunnel, but also netizens around the world.
He was a thin, middle-aged man, probably an ordinary white-collar worker who was older and younger. He looked nervous, and everyone understood, because many people's lives were on his shoulders, and to save people, he had to kill. This choice was too cruel for everyone.
Netizens can see the other party's hands shaking, a close-up.
There are two screens on the live broadcast screen, one is the civilian tunnel, they are ready to take action. The other is the criminal tunnel, they are still arguing, the guards are using guns to maintain order, the detonator is still in the hands of the prison guard, he doesn't know what to do.
The prison guard seems to want to delay time, netizens analyzed. At the same time, netizens are also fighting, fighting over whether the middle-aged white-collar worker should detonate or not.
This is chaos, exposing all contradictions without a trace of hypocrisy.
"Don't do stupid things." Director Nick is also watching the live broadcast, and he is now praying that the white-collar worker will never take action. If he does, then the moral bottom line of the people will be refreshed again.
"We are fine, which means the other party has not detonated yet." The white-collar worker is talking, and the hostages around him hear this sentence but are speechless, because they don't know how long this balance can be maintained. The other party has not exploded now and no one guarantees that they will not explode in the future. In the tunnel, they have no mobile phone signal, and they don't know the situation outside. They are isolated.
At this time, the white-collar worker's thumb was already on the button. He only heard him say, "God bless us." Then he pressed it.
Netizens were stunned. They didn't expect the other party to really press it, but there was no big explosion in the crime tunnel.
"Signal interference is successful." Hill was sweating.
However, Nick was paralyzed because it was too late, and he finally pressed it.
But no one noticed that the corner of the white-collar worker's mouth curled up slightly. That's right, he is not someone else, but Duran. He just cooperated with SHIELD to perform a play. Since he wanted to promote chaos, he naturally had to interfere with the development of the plot, but he would not let everyone show the shining points of human nature as before. Duran personally pushed mankind towards chaos, but no one knew how far he pushed it.
Sure enough, when it comes to acting, Duran is at the master level, and Black Widow is not enough to compare with him.
It doesn't matter whether it explodes or not, the most important thing is whether it is pressed or not.
