The era of American comics begins

Chapter 182
It was very late at night, and the sky was full of dark clouds.There was dull thunder rolling in the black clouds, and the rumbling muffled sound seemed to come from the distant horizon.The whole day in the sky of New York, it seems that a thunderstorm is about to fall at any time, but it only makes people look forward to it, and it will not come.

Not far from New York City, somewhere in an unknown location, there is a dark island on the water.There is no light source within hundreds of meters near the island, and the cold wind howls, slapping the salty sea water on the jagged reefs along the coast, and even the water body seems to be pitch black.

This is "Island", one of the four super prisons, dedicated to detaining high-risk criminals with superpowers.Like the other three superprisons, this place was once under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D., but its control was handed over to the military after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As a prison that the government has invested countless funds and hired a large number of cutting-edge talents to fully develop, the isolated island has the undoubted highest level of security system.Literally every inch of this prison is armed, making it impossible for even the best agents to infiltrate.

The isolated island prison is surrounded by water, which is its natural advantage as the only water prison among the four prisons.The waters within a half-mile radius of the island prison are infested with jellyfish that release deadly neurotoxins.A large force field is arranged in the courtyard of the prison, and the open space from the gate to more than ten meters away is guarded by automatic turrets. More than 30 turrets controlled by the central computer cover every inch of the open space in the courtyard. Any unauthorized Anyone who breaks in will be shot into a sieve in an instant.

There is also a set of strict security measures inside the prison.Although the entire isolated island prison appears to be a gloomy tall black building, it is actually divided into relatively independent areas inside.The structure of the prison is intricate, and the prisoners are divided into different areas according to the degree of crime in their records and the strength of the abilities of the super criminals.

Every staff member in the isolated island has received a set of extremely strict training before entering the job, and most of them are only allowed to move within their own work area.

For some extremely dangerous criminals with superpowers, they are completely isolated in custom-made cells, with no free time to move around, and they are not allowed to leave their cells under any special circumstances.The cells of these few high-risk criminals have adopted a suppression plan tailored to their respective abilities to ensure that they cannot use their devastating superpowers to break free and overturn the prison.

Billy Coverdale, a former Level [-] agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., has been working as a jailer at the Island Prison since S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded.It may be because he has many field experience as a SHIELD agent, and his resume is more credible. After the review, the prison superior directly assigned him to the "S" area, the most dangerous area in the entire prison.

And now, he is taking a newcomer, Donald, who has just been assigned to the area, on a routine nightly patrol, teaching the newcomer the detailed procedures of the entire set of procedures.

The routine inspection of the S-level area has a very complicated process, and it must be operated in strict accordance with the regulations, and there must be no mistakes in any link.If the higher-ups accidentally discovered that a certain jailer missed a certain link or got some key steps in the wrong order during the patrol inspection on a certain day, then that person must be fired the next day without any room for maneuver.

Coverdale took the trouble to stress the unlocking steps of an ultra-high-strength alloy door to the newcomer three times, and urged him to operate it himself before leading him to the next link.

"So many steps, so many security systems," Donald couldn't help saying as he walked behind the senior in an uncomfortable narrow corridor, "the detainees here must really be a group of vicious people."

"There isn't a group." Coverdale walked ahead and glanced back at him. "Only one."

Donald was taken aback: "One? You mean, so many complicated and expensive equipment are all prepared for one person?"

"The entire S area of ​​the island prison, yes. For the time being, there is only one person who can have this honor and be imprisoned here."

"Then can I know who that is?"

Coverdale took a look at the newcomer.

"Remember one thing, rookie," he said. "In this place, you shouldn't ask more questions if you don't know anything above. Anything you should know will naturally be told to you. I have come here too. It's been more than two years, but I still don't know who I'm guarding here. You just need to know that a guy who can be assigned to an S-level area and receive such a level of treatment can definitely tear down the whole thing There is an island, so there must be absolutely no mistakes in any link.”

Donald held his breath and nodded: "I understand."

Coverdale led him to the last door.He also explained in detail the operation steps of unlocking the door several times, and then supervised the newcomer to open the door.Before going in, he paused, and said mysteriously: "Although we don't know who is locked inside, you will have a chance to see him in a while. But he is covered with many layers of steel shackles, you may I can’t see his original image.”

Donald was taken aback.He thought of the horror of a prisoner locked in an S-level area, and he couldn't help feeling a little timid in his heart.

"Do we... have to go see him?"

"Yes, this is also part of the regulatory process. The inspectors must personally confirm that the prisoner is in a normal state, and also check that all the systems in the cell are functioning well. But don't worry, although the criminals locked here are extremely terrifying, the 'isolated island' Nor is it vegetarian. The prison under our feet has been invested with more money than you can imagine, and it is a fortress specially designed for these dangers. Believe me, even a god can trap an island."

Hearing what he said, Donald felt a little more at ease, but he still felt unavoidably nervous.

They finally came outside this custom-made cage.The prison cell is located in the heart of the area, shaped like a large boxy cube, and the inside is shrouded in some kind of powerful force field.And except for the only air hole that even mosquitoes cannot fly in, the entire room is completely sealed, and the strength of the four walls can resist direct bombing by intercontinental missiles.

After making sure that all functions inside and outside the cell, including the air-conditioning system, were checked, Coverdale pressed the "transparency" switch, and the white wall facing the outside of the cell suddenly became transparent automatically. , which is separated by a layer of light golden transparent energy barrier.

Donald stared wide-eyed, looking directly at the only resident in the cell.

Coverdale was right, he couldn't see the guy in his original form, but he thought it might be a pretty big guy.The whole body of this person was covered with layers of shackles, like a heavy and huge steel coat covering his body, and the net weight was estimated to be several tons.Even his face was locked by the alloy material, only a pair of yellow eyes were exposed.

Donald imagined being bound by such a strong shackle, he might not even be able to move a finger.Even in a prison like the isolated island, treatment like this may be unique.

But he couldn't tell why, it was clear that this guy was completely immobilized, but the moment he met those yellow eyes, he suddenly felt cold hands and feet.The chill climbed up his spine like an ice snake, and the shadow of death enveloped him instantly.

What kind of terrifying creature can have such a majestic and chilling murderous aura!
Donald didn't know how long he had been numb. It wasn't until his colleague turned off the transparency and the wall turned white again that he came back to his senses, and found that his back was drenched with cold sweat before he knew it.

His face was pale, he took two breaths, and pointed at the wall in front of him in disbelief: "That thing"

"Yes, I know it's shocking." Coverdale patted him on the shoulder. "I wasn't much better than you when I first saw it."

"Okay, but it's still too scary. Speaking of which, how did this horrible thing get caught in the first place?"

"God knows. As I said, don't ask questions." Coverdale shrugged and led him outside, "Okay, our mission is completed, we can go and see what we can have for supper"

The door closed heavily again, blocking out the voices of the two jailers.There was silence in the prison again.

The restrained figure let out a heavy nasal sound from his nasal cavity.

Stupid and feeble man, if he can get out of this place
"You can crush them all easily, like worms, can't you?"

It was a woman's voice with a smile in it.There was surprise in those yellow eyes.

A woman with blond hair and long legs appeared on the wall in front of him like a painting, smiling slightly at him.
