I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 359 American Purgatory (I)

When the sun rises, everyone has to face a new day, even though this day is the beginning of the end for Americans.

The first people to notice something was wrong were the men and women who had been partying all night in the Hawaiian waters.

The civil war broke out in the United States. The bosses of the consortium and the citizens with little assets fled one after another. The big capitalists who owned estates and territories overseas moved their families there and returned to America after the dust settled. The wealthy people with less assets had to take the opportunity to take a long trip.

Among them, Hawaii, as an "overseas state", is the most popular among wealthy Americans and has become the preferred refuge for many wealthy people with less assets or who are unwilling to leave the United States.

The climate here is pleasant, the facilities are complete, and the tourism resources are abundant. The key is that you don’t have to apply for a troublesome visa or be bullied by those foreigners who once fawned on you but now act arrogantly.

After the local civil war, ports along the coast gradually increased their control. The yacht clubs that were once bustling with life were expelled by the navies of both sides of the civil war. The young masters and young ladies were very disappointed and had no fun.

So, they gathered in Hawaii and held a "Sea and Sky Feast" every day.

Not to mention, when party masters from all over the United States gathered together, they racked their brains to come up with ideas to outdo each other, and had even more fun than ever before.

It is true that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

what?
You said there is a war going on in the country, and many people have lost their source of livelihood, are starving and clothed, and are suffering from the war?

Are there still countless young people who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood on the battlefield?

What does this have to do with us?

No, uh...it seems like it does concern us!
Don't worry, after we win the battle we will go back to take over the territory and provide you with jobs.

Don't be anxious, be patient.

Hey so-and-so, remember to prepare your speech for me in advance, and make it more expressive and emotional!
Come on, keep playing music and dancing!
History has repeated itself countless times, but this time it is different.

The hungover young masters woke up the captain who had been having fun with them last night: "Get up, sail back to the island."

The captain was also confused, the alcohol in his blood had not even completely evaporated. He staggered to the cabin, started the engine, steered the boat, and drove in a daze.

With a loud bang, the three-story yacht suddenly collided in the open sea and hit an invisible light film.

"Sparrow, what the hell are you doing?" The young master who hosted the party last night angrily rebuked, "Did you use all your strength on a woman?"

Captain Sparrow sobered up a little and ran to the side window of the cabin, only to see that the left bow was severely deformed, as if it had hit something.

But when I looked around, the sea was empty, there was clearly nothing.

Captain Sparrow rubbed his eyes with his hands and returned to the helm, intending to continue turning the yacht around.

As a result, after the engine was started again, the left bow continued to deform and forced its way through against something.

The piercing sound, accompanied by the shaking of the ship, woke up the naked young masters and ladies on the ship, as well as the chickens and rabbits whose heads and legs were so numerous that it was impossible to tell.

"Ouch!"

"Shit! Who stepped on me? It's broken, it's broken!"

"Fuck! My breasts exploded!"

……

After a commotion, the young master who was hosting the event burst into the cab, holding his bleeding forehead and cursing, "You son of a bitch, you're fired!"

"Boss...boss, the ship...the ship hit..." Captain Sparrow found it difficult to describe what he saw. He didn't even see clearly what the ship hit.

The young master looked out the window along his trembling hand, and saw the vast sky and sea, but the bow of the ship was squeezed and deformed by an unknown object.

There is also a problem with the sea water in the distance. The ups and downs are not continuous. The sea water on one side surges to the other side, but it just can't cross over, as if it is blocked by some barrier.

"Waterfalk?"

The young master quickly pushed the door open and ran to the front deck. He came to the deformed part of the bow and bravely reached out to touch it. Surprisingly, he felt a transparent film that was slightly cool.

The young master had broken another kind of membrane many times, but he was destined not to break the one in front of him.

"Shit, what the hell is this?"

The young masters and young ladies on the ship were startled one after another. After their drunkenness dissipated, they all came to the bow to witness this magical and strange scene. "Damn, what on earth is this?"

"Can we get in touch with the island?"

"Can the boat be sailed? If it can, go back first."

……

The chickens and rabbits, which were much more numerous, naturally had no right to express their opinions. They all huddled in the cabin, waiting anxiously.

Fortunately, the engine of this yacht is installed at the rear of the hull, and the deformed area of ​​the bow did not affect the sailing ability, but only slowed down the speed.

When they returned to port, Captain Sparrow was not fired, but he was unemployed.

Because chaos has already occurred on the island.

As tourists returning to the island brought back the news, people on the island have learned that a mysterious film of light appeared in the open sea, surrounding the entire Hawaiian Islands.

Those who are capable began to verify from multiple sources, those who were panicked kept dialing on their mobile phones, and those who were quick to react immediately rushed to the mall...

In a villa by the sea, Pepper Potts is asking the main system set up by Jarvis in the villa: "Can we get in touch with Tony?"

"Ms. Boz, the signal cannot penetrate. I have lost contact with the space server. The local area network on the island is still usable, but the submarine optical cable connecting to the mainland has been cut off..."

There was a roar of jet engines, and an unmanned armor flew back from high altitude, bringing new news.

"Ms. Boz, an unknown light film appeared at an altitude of 15,000 meters, blocking the entire Hawaiian Islands. After a circle, no loopholes were found."

Pepper was stunned and in disbelief.

"You...you mean...Hawaii is on lockdown?"

Jarvis projected a three-dimensional model to more intuitively show the crisis Hawaii is currently facing.

Seeing the unknown light film covering the Hawaiian Islands like a giant bowl, Pepper was confused and lost the ability to think.

"What is this?"

"Ms. Boz, this layer of light film is very strong. I have used all the weapons on my iron armor and it cannot be shaken at all. This means we will be trapped here for a while."

"So I suggest that you build a defense line around the villa immediately to prevent the mob from attacking..."

This is the first reaction of wealthy Americans when faced with a social crisis: use weapons to protect themselves first.

Wait until the government and army come to rescue?

Haha, once they arrive they can only collect the bodies.

Besides, weakening the prestige of the federal government and deliberately making the people distrust the American government is the basic national policy devised by this group of rich people.

It’s enough to cheat others, but can you also cheat yourself?

"In addition, the villa must be immediately closed and an air circulation system must be established." Jarvis emphasized: "The air in the blocked area will become turbid in the future, and harmful gases will increase significantly."

"Ah?" Pepper was confused: "Shouldn't we try to stockpile food and water?"

"The food and water that Mr. Stark stored in the storage room in advance are enough for the five people in the villa to survive for fifty years..."

Before Tony was there, besides him and his girlfriend, there were also bodyguard Happy, an elderly female cook, and an equally elderly maid in the villa.

To prevent any accidents, Tony had prepared supplies in advance.

"There is insufficient food on the island. If the conflict intensifies, there will be a large number of corpses. If the authorities are unable to maintain basic urban functions and properly handle the corpses, the natural decomposition of the corpses and the inevitable fires in the unrest will produce a large amount of toxic gases..."

　Marine algae produce more than 70% of the oxygen produced by vegetation on Earth through photosynthesis. I didn't notice this before. Sorry!
　　However, the dissolution of carbon dioxide in seawater is an extremely slow process, which means that marine algae within 12 nautical miles can only use the existing carbon dioxide in the seawater to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and large-scale hypoxia will not occur before people starve to death.

　　However, the toxic gases in the closed area cannot be discharged either.
