Miss Clown subverts Marvel

143. New York in decline

"Damn"

Still thinking about this small profit at this time, they are really greedy guys.

An uncontrollable flame ignited in his heart, and Tony ordered angrily:

"Jarvis, notify the police to come and guide you. Rhodes, you also notify the military to help evacuate these greedy people."

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis immediately informed the high-level police of the situation here, and the military also received Captain Rhodes's notice. They thought they would immediately send police and soldiers to help disperse the civilians, but Tony had no idea. What I thought was that they actually rejected Tony's request at the same time.

"why"

Tony was shocked. According to the data obtained from Jarvis's scan, there were thousands of people walking this way, and the missiles in the sky had been launched and would not stop no matter what. When the missiles could be seen with the naked eye, It was already too late for this group of people to escape.

"Sir, the police spokesman said that this group of mobs will not accept the command of the police. Their arrival will only cause conflicts between the two parties. They said that they will not put the police officers in danger."

The police responded tactfully, while the military was more direct. Rhodes' voice was a little low, and he gritted his teeth, seemingly in disbelief.

"Tony, they said these people are robbers and thugs, and they don't care whether they live or die."

Tony was shocked by their words. Before becoming Iron Man, he was just a selfish businessman and capitalist, but after meeting that turning point in his life, his proud eyes undoubtedly became more ordinary and ordinary.

From canceling the arms trade and breaking with Obadiah to refusing to cooperate with the military and donating to relief for special groups, he has been trying to change.

Ordinary people's lives matter. The biggest difference between him and other capitalists is that he treats everyone equally and does not discriminate against the weak and poor because of his status.If you abandon your most fundamental conscience as a human being, you are not worthy of being called a human being at all.

"These damn guys are still playing this kind of political game."

The battle between the heroes and the villains was meaningless. Tony gave up on the fleeing villains and rushed towards the crowd that was coming here a few kilometers away.

"Tony"

Pepper comes from an elite family, but he is not the son of a rich man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth like Tony Stark, so he needs to know more about those poor people who dare to take huge risks and go to the streets to rob supplies for some daily necessities. , she wanted to reach out to stop Tony, but in the end, she still didn't catch up.

With her lover on one side and thousands of civilians on the other, she couldn't bear to make that decision.

However, in this moment of confusion, Tony had already landed in front of a large group of civilians. Without hesitation, he immediately turned on the loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd.

"Stop everyone present. Please go back immediately and hide in a safe place. The front is very dangerous. Don't continue walking."

It seemed that his appearance was too visually impactful. His voice really calmed everyone. Most of the people below were wearing dirty and torn clothes. Some were skinny and rough, and some had sunken eye sockets and dull eyes. , but without exception, Tony did not see excited or adoring eyes among this group of people.

They don't care about themselves.

People didn't cheer, they just stared blankly at Tony in the sky. In the huge space, there was no other sound except the whirring engine sound of the injectors under Tony's feet.

Tony had some difficulty adapting to such an atmosphere. He took a deep breath and continued shouting:

"I am Iron Man. I was fighting with a group of enemies in front. Now there is an explosion over there. It is very dangerous. Please evacuate immediately and flee to a safe place."

However, there was still no response, everyone remained motionless, no one looked back, and no one continued to move forward.

At this time, a half-grown boy picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards Stark in the air.

Tony didn't fly very high, and the small stone hit his armor in a long arc.

"when."

The armor made a crisp sound when it came into contact with the stone. The dark-skinned boy stretched out a finger, pointed it at Iron Man, and shouted angrily:

"vampire"

The boy's voice echoed in the street. Tony looked at the boy and opened his mouth in confusion.

"what"

He didn't understand. He was a superhero. Why did he suddenly call himself a vampire? Judging from his skin color, he should be from where he immigrated. Could it be that it was a cultural difference?

At this time, Jarvis's voice appeared appropriately and answered Tony's doubts.

"Sir, the close word for vampire is exploiter. The black boy probably developed hatred for you because of your excessive assets, which is called hatred of the rich."

At this time, more poor people reacted. They picked up all the throwing objects around them and threw them at Tony.

"demon"

"Damn arms dealers"

"go to hell"

Tony was bombarded by waves of curses. He couldn't understand why this group of people still hated him so much. He had done a good enough job and was already the kindest one compared to other capitalists.

"Jarvis, scan the identities of this group of people"

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis's efficiency can be said to be the most efficient on earth. With almost no pause, he investigated most of the information about this group of criminals.

"McMillan Arnold, 46 years old, an Iranian refugee, was smuggled to his hometown in the United States in 2009 and was destroyed by the war. Stark Industries was an arms seller in that war."

"Ross Smith, 60 years old, is an employee of a steel plant. He was laid off by the company before his retirement five years ago. After leaving his job, his house was repossessed by the bank because he could not repay the loan. He is now living on the street."

A piece of information about the poor people on the ground was uploaded to Tony's screen. While Tony was shocked by what happened to the other party, he also gradually understood why they hated him so much.

I understand, but there is nothing I can do about it.

He can't save these people. Their suffering comes from this society, which cannot be changed by him as a mere rich man.

"Jarvis, there are so many people in New York"

It can't be changed, but it can be made up for. His father has saved too much wealth for him. If he just settles this group of people, it won't be too difficult.

But the next moment, Jarvis's answer made him unable to breathe for a long time.

"Sir, New York has experienced many riots in the past few months. Although wealthy areas such as Long Island and Manhattan have not been affected, in areas such as Queens, people have become extremely distrustful of the government.

Some families who own assets in other states have fled a month ago. At the same time, many businessmen running shops have gone bankrupt due to riots and vandalism, and their employees have also lost their jobs.

At this time, the unemployed population in New York was approximately 240 million, accounting for more than 30.00% of the total population.

Among them, there are more than one million people living on the streets. "
