Marvel World New Magneto

190 Nick with a headache

In the hall on the top floor, Eric was fiddling with a small model alone in the air, when suddenly the door opened and John came in.

"Everyone is settled?" New Magneto asked his students.

"Yes." John replied. "According to our previous plan, let them live temporarily. Although the construction of the factory area has not yet been fully rolled out, the preliminary preparations have already begun."

Eric nodded and continued to make the model change its posture.

"What's the reaction of S.H.I.E.L.D." He asked, so many mutants gathered together suddenly, S.H.I.E.L.D. could not be unaware. He had expressed his idea to Fury through Coulson before, and now he wants to See if Fury's attitude has changed.

"Agent Coulson came to ask. He hoped that we could coordinate the relationship and keep our compatriots away from ordinary people." John said.

"Colson is a smart man. He didn't say things like requiring compliance with the law because a lot of things are not the responsibility of one person. He was right. Distance can reduce harm. Of course, we will not use high walls like before. Closing ourselves off with fear, we are building an independent community now, but as we grow, we can become a functioning little society ourselves in the future.”

"That still needs more people, and a factory north of Boston is far from being able to accommodate them." After seeing more than 400 people coming together this time, John was a little worried. Among the young people, he knew the resources in Eric's hands. At most, he knew that these resources were not enough to handle so many people.

This time more than 400 people flocked within a few days, what about next time?When the news of these people spreads all over the United States, perhaps an unimaginable number will come one after another. Although the overall number of mutants is not too many, as long as 400 people from each of the fifty states move in, the mentor will have to bear 2 The security and development of tens of thousands of people, the pressure that will follow is unimaginable.

Eric knew what he was thinking.But don't take it seriously.

John calculates resource consumption according to the concept of ordinary people, but this concept is not suitable for mutants.

Taking New York State as an example, the average annual income of residents is [-] U.S. dollars per person, and several major taxes such as federal tax, state tax, social security tax and medical insurance tax will be deducted by more than a quarter. The monthly income is only around [-].For an ordinary family.Of course, their life is quite tense. After dealing with the food consumption of [-] to [-] yuan per month, the commuting expenses of [-] dollars and other daily entertainment expenses, they have to purchase an additional health care of about [-] yuan per year on average. Insurance, but the lifestyle of mutants is different from them.

The first is medical expenses. Mutants seldom get sick. Ordinary people may be life-threatening if they encounter a flu, but mutants do not have this risk. Most of their problems lie in ability control.If only they could learn to control their instincts at a young age.In the future, you will basically not hurt yourself, so that the biggest expenditure compared to ordinary people will be avoided.

Then, in terms of living, the average monthly fixed expenditure for a house in the suburbs of eastern coastal cities is about two thousand dollars, including utilities, management, taxes and maintenance costs. If the income level is below the average line, it is impossible to afford it. Can't afford it. There are many factors involved, including the government's consideration.There is also a tacit understanding between banks and real estate developers, but when they live on their own land.You don't have to worry about this problem.

Finally, entertainment and energy consumption. Electricity can be provided by Otto's small artificial sun. Eric noticed one thing about entertainment. It is probably that the ability is different from that of ordinary people. Young people disdain all kinds of popular games outside. At first glance, they began to feel fresh and enjoyed watching it with gusto, but soon became less interested. The same thing happened to ordinary mutants like Nick and Mariano. More and more, maybe you can launch your own internal events.

So to sum up, the initial investment in running the community may be a bit high, but with Eric's help, they can quickly complete the accumulation stage and develop to a higher level. Once the internal cycle is formed, the external needs It will drop to a very low level. At that time, if there are more compatriots, it will not be a problem. Anyway, he has already planned to invest all the money earned in the new material industry into creating a suitable environment.

Maybe you can also negotiate with the inland states with cheap land prices, use Ororo's ability to transform the terrain, and transform the desert into a grassland--Eric certainly doesn't plan to push the storm girl into the spotlight now, but this is also A feasible idea.

"Anyway, don't worry, John." He explained to the students while flipping through the designs in his hand. "You can treat the newcomers the same way I treat you."

"I will." John understood.

Eric's good deeds seem to be the troubles of Nick Fury. Recently, the one-eyed black chief seems to have received no good news. It is expected that the power of mutants will further expand. Tony Stark's unstable needs Let him send his capable men to scout, and now that little conservative organization in Washington has been brutally hit again, and some people from all walks of life have put pressure on him to solve the problem.

"Another Winter Soldier, another assassination." Nick threw a file on the desk, which was filled with news of the Winter Soldier's assassination of members of the anti-mutant forces, and under it were Eric and his students Their whereabouts report, and some information about the Magneto Brotherhood is also in it-they have no time or reason to contact Hydra.

"He comes and goes so fast, we couldn't catch his tail at all." Commander Hill arranged guards around the important figures, but there was only one strong man at the captain's level, and the rest could hardly pose a threat to the Winter Soldier .Moreover, the mission of the Winter Soldier seems to be only to cause panic. As soon as he finds that the security is beyond the scope of his ability, he will turn around and leave immediately, without giving the agents a chance to trap.

This performance also further confirmed the speculation that he was sent by Hydra to provoke disputes between politicians and mutants.

"Now we are like nannies for mutants, protecting them from politicians while being careful not to provoke them. Every time I think about the people who caused all this, my head hurts like hell." Nick Fury rarely complained about his right-hand man.

"Senator Kelly has formally consulted us on this matter, and I have sent over our speculation and some evidence, but he seems to want to point the finger at the mutants." Hill replied calmly, but there was some helplessness in his eyes.

"I'm not surprised that politicians can only see what's under their noses." Nick knew that Kelly was a pioneer against mutants and had proposed a mutant registration bill, but was forced to Take it back, and now he has forgotten the lesson again, using the death of the former president to entangle the staunch conservatives to reorganize, he found that of course he must take advantage of the opportunity.

"Then what should we do? We only have one captain, unless we unseal the batch of weapons." Hill hinted at the energy weapon seized from Hydra. She knew that she had found the source of energy when she was looking for the captain a long time ago. , Nick has been quietly exploiting it.

But Nick Fury refused.

"I would rather these people die, but also keep our cards in our hands."

Hill fell silent. She knew something, but she didn't feel as deeply as Nick.

"Is the threat overblown?" she thought to herself, but Nick saw right through her.

"If Nazi Germany during the Great War and Soviet Russia during the Cold War appeared in front of you at the same time, which would you hate more?" the director asked the commander.

Hill thought about it and decided to choose Soviet Russia.

"Yes, Eric is like Hitler. What he wants is the living space of mutants, but Hydra wants to destroy our freedom and way of life together." Nick said slowly. "Especially when it is parasitic in your body, you have eyes but can't see the direction, you have ears but you can't rely on it, you can only walk on the tightrope step by step carefully, deal with it without fear, everything in you It may be taken over by it. You don’t know who is trustworthy, you don’t know where the opponent is, and you can’t use it if you don’t use it. If we accidentally fall into its grasp, we can only suffocate in despair in the end.”

In the quiet office, only the director's voice echoed quietly.

"My grandfather drove elevators for 40 years." The director raised his head and recalled the past, his words were nonsensical, but Hill concentrated his attention even more.

"He worked in a high-end mansion and he tipped a lot. He walked home every night with a roll of one-dollar bills in his lunch bag. At first he said hello to people and they said hello to him. It took a long time. Neighborhoods weren't as friendly. He said hello and they said 'go your way' and my grandfather started gripping his lunch bag tighter and tighter."

"Has he been robbed?" Hill asked.

Nick shook his head slightly and laughed: "Every week some punk asks him 'what's in the bag?'"

"How did he do it?" Hill continued to ask.

"He showed them the bag." Nick turned his head, one eye fixed on her with a deep light. "A wad of one-dollar bills, and a loaded pistol."

Hill Muran.

"My grandfather was kind to people all his life, but he didn't completely trust others." Nick murmured, walked to the French windows, and watched a familiar man under the building walking towards the SHIELD headquarters surrounded by crowds.

"Look, how proud Alexander is laughing." Pointing at the figure of the former director, Nick Fury made a pun. (to be continued~^~)
