Chapter 604: Situation Shift
Even if Swampfire's abilities were strong, it would be impossible to summon a Plant Barrier that could surround the entire New York City at once. This required the help of other Mutants.
For example, the most basic Nutrients. Swampfire could indeed force growth, but for seedlings to grow, they needed fertile Land. This required Magneto's help.
Magneto moved large areas of Land to suitable positions, and then other Mutants planted the Seeds personally prepared by Yang Le. Finally, Yang Le activated them area by area.
In this way, a Maria Wall was created. Now, all that was left was to wait for the day it would be breached.
In fact, New York City was not completely surrounded. According to Hyperion's observation with his X-ray vision, coupled with the detection of Stark Industries' rescue Robots, all the living people in New York City were gathered near Manhattan.
The reason was obvious. Those living on the outskirts of New York had already evacuated when the incident broke out. The only ones left were those in the city center or at the epicenter of the Giant event.
And these people were roughly located near Manhattan. So, in reality, Yang Le only surrounded an area of about two to three districts. Although still impressive, it was at least not exaggerated.
This not only saved Yang Le a lot of strength but also made it easier for other Mutants to manage.
"This is done." Yang Le withdrew his Arm and turned to look at Magneto, who was supervising him. "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
"No, Swampfire, you are as reliable as ever."
Looking at the Towering Giant Tree that was at least twenty meters high in front of him, even Magneto could not find any problems.
Because Yang Le could control the growth of Trees, the surface of these Tree Walls did not have any protrusions or indentations for climbing. Climbing them by hand was basically impossible.
"To escape this Tree Wall, apart from drilling underground or Flight, the only options left are breaking through the Wall or using Tools to climb," Gambit exclaimed in admiration.
"Let's not talk about Flight for now. The remaining three are not simple," Yang Le walked to the Tree Wall and stroked his creation.
"First is drilling underground. These Tree Walls are Plants, so naturally, they have Roots. The intricate Tree Root system that goes deep underground is no shorter than the Tree Wall on the Ground Surface. The difficulty of passing through them is no less than climbing the Tree Wall."
"Then there's breaking through the Wall and climbing with Attack Tools." Yang Le knocked on the Tree Wall, and the Response was a clang like hitting Metal.
"The hardness of these Tree Walls is stronger than Concrete, and their Density can even be compared to Steel. Coupled with this thickness, there are very few people who can break through them. So, breaking through the Wall and climbing with Tools are also impossible."
"Too perfect!" Magneto couldn't help but Compliment. "I can hardly think of better Compliment words, Swampfire."
"It's good enough if it's acceptable." Yang Le sighed, trying to play his Character well. "I don't know when this unintentional dispute will end."
"Everything we are doing now is for this," Magneto patted Yang Le's Shoulder. "So that the next generation of Mutants can live in a better Environment. We endure these hardships now, so they won't have to in the future."
"Hopefully," Yang Le used his hidden Eyes to size up Magik standing in the Corner. "I just hope this is not the beginning of another dispute."
Hearing Yang Le's Words, Magneto didn't change much, but a strange Light flashed in his Eyes. Magik, standing in the Corner, looked slightly unnatural, while the other Mutants didn't have much reaction.
Magneto released Yang Le's Shoulder and turned to assign tasks to the Mutants. Obviously, he didn't want to dwell on this Topic too much.
Although the Area of three districts was not small, the number of Mutants was also not small. As long as it was reasonably allocated, it could still be managed.
This was all thanks to the productivity of Stark Industries. Under Howard's Command, more than half of Stark Industries' productivity was invested in the production of Sentinel Robots.
No one knew why Howard wanted to invest so much Stamina, but the Effect was indeed amazing. Now, there were already five hundred Sentinel Robots that could be put into use.
Moreover, every time about a hundred units were produced, the Sentinel Robots would undergo an upgrade. Their Armament and System would be upgraded. The latest generation of Sentinel Robots had already reached the level in the Comics.
One hundred Steel Giants with a Height of more than five meters, the scene could no longer be described as spectacular. With these Things, capturing a Nation would be as easy as pie.
Perhaps because of this Reason, the voices of opposition against Hyperion on the Network were getting smaller and smaller. Even those Big Shots sitting in the Office dared not Command him anymore.
Everyone was silent and pretending to be dead. In the face of such a huge Force, even those Superheroes who had once appeared on the streets had hidden themselves. When they came back to their senses, there was only one Sound in Society.
Ordinary Person began to call for handing over Superhuman, only in this way would those Steel Giants not walk into their Yards. They condemned those Superhuman on the Network, accusing them that if they had obediently listened, none of this would have happened.
Some Ordinary Person even spontaneously formed the Anti-Superhuman Alliance. They were responsible for finding Superhuman and then informing the Sentinel Robots, which undoubtedly greatly accelerated the speed of the Sentinel Robots' capture.
For a Time, even the Superheroes who were originally loved by the Public had become Public Enemy. No Superhuman dared to expose themselves.
But this was useless. Those hiding at Home became the most suspected targets. Many people from the Anti-Superhuman Alliance would pretend to be salesmen or other Professions to knock on these people's Gates.
In a short Time, a large number of Superhuman were arrested. This was also why Hyperion regarded Old New York as a Prison.
The funny thing was that the Situation had undergone such a big change in not a month, not half a month, but in just less than two days.
Magik looked at the Sun gradually setting. When Nightfall came, the second day of this madness would end. Obviously, the Speed of Time had not changed, but she felt that these two days seemed to have been fast-forwarded.
A large number of Business crammed into her Brain, making it hard for her to breathe. Originally, she wanted to pretend to be indifferent, until she saw many Child of single-digit age.
Those noisy Crying drilled into her Ears. Illyana's Eyes blurred for a moment. She seemed to see the Visuals she saw when she had just returned to Earth from Hell.
Megan, hiding in the Corner, hugging her Head and sobbing softly.
And even longer ago, herself who had just been pulled into Hell.
