Chapter 172 The New York City System is About to Collapse and Tony’s Anxiety

What good plans did Nick Fury have in mind, and what little thoughts he had.

No one else knows these things, and no one cares.

Under the suppression of absolute power, no conspiracy or trick will have much effect.

Nick Fury can only fight with Hydra in Snake and Shield, fighting in the den all day long.

The previous outbreak of the Apocalypse virus has put Nick Fury into an embarrassing situation where he cannot achieve high and low.

In order to silence the mouths of the World Security Council bosses, Nick Fury thought of putting up the movable sign of Captain America to win over those superheroes for his own use.

In fact, Nick Fury himself has made two preparations. With his suspicious personality, he will not put all his confidence in one thing.

After finding out the information about Dr. Yingman Heizhou, Nick Fury had already sent people to the island country to prepare to bring Dr. Yingman Heizhou back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Let Yingman Heishu and Shuichiro Jedou work together to quickly study the Apocalypse virus, hoping that they can develop the corresponding antidote as soon as possible.

.............................................

Megacities will rely on all functional systems at the same time, which is a characteristic brought about by the development of science and technology and human urbanization.

This interconnectedness will reflect a lack of buffer space in complex networks, causing the entire system matrix that supports city operations to become extremely fragile.

Without electricity, subways would stop running, water pipes would flood, phones would stop working, food would spoil, and hospitals would run on nineteenth-century technology.

But now, due to the one-time outbreak of the Apocalypse virus, New York City's already fragile system was overwhelmed by the disaster in an instant.

Because there are no farms in Manhattan, and urban grocery stores generally only have three days’ worth of food in stock.

New York City's hospitals only have a small amount of life-sustaining oxygen and blood. Once the supply is cut off, New York City's hospitals will not be able to sustain it for long.

However, the supply of tap water that people need comes from reservoirs miles away and passes through several water purification stations before reaching the taps in each household.

Similarly, New York City's electricity demand actually exceeds the generation capacity of local natural gas power plants. When external power supply is cut off, New York City will immediately be plunged into darkness.

For example, even if special locations like New York City hospitals have backup power, they will be affected.

With the backup power activated, hospitals in New York City also cannot last long.

During the day, Manhattan has a population of 320 million, almost twice the local resident population.

These additional 150 million people will have nowhere to go when transportation networks are cut off, and then they will quickly overwhelm residential systems originally designed only for local residents.

At the site of a volatile disaster, New York's crowded population, especially Manhattan during the day, would be particularly vulnerable to social unrest.

And now today, this situation has already appeared in New York City.

The location of the Apocalypse virus outbreak is not far from New York City, but it is very close to the power plant outside New York City.

The landing of meteorites and the explosion of the Apocalypse virus.

Both violent explosions caused indelible damage to the power plant, and eventually led to the outage of power in most parts of New York City for a long time.

If it weren't for the emergence of the new energy "Ark Reactor" invented by Tony Stark through his transformation, and the timely provision of a batch of supplies by Stark Group CEO Pepper Potts after the disaster.

This has allowed New York to recover a little better after the disaster, otherwise the current situation in New York City may be even worse.

But even so, New York City is still in a state of turmoil.

Because after the virus outbreak, large-scale human infections, shortage of living materials, and insufficient medical equipment.

When people's most basic survival is threatened, human moral bottom line is challenged.

Many homeless people have started "zero dollar shopping" every day. They no longer hide it and directly switch from night to day.

The gangs also directly had a showdown with the police. Their lives and daily life were no longer guaranteed. Who cares what happens to others! ! !

Because of this chaotic image, the current public security management situation in New York City has begun to embark on a path of no return.

But if you want to restore this order, you need to come to New York City so that the reconstruction of New York City can begin.

New York City, as the outbreak site of the virus, is the most vulnerable place to be infected with the Apocalypse virus.

So now no one is willing to risk their lives to rebuild New York City. The rich and wealthy have already left New York City.

For example, the mayor of New York City now works out of town and sits in the office and relies on Twitter to issue instructions.

The system in New York City is now on the verge of collapse. However, the phenomenon that best reflects this situation is that the major hospitals in New York City are overcrowded.

.............................................

"hurry up!!"

"The patient in Room [-] has begun to crystallize, so prepare for emergency rescue."

"Ok!"

"Da da da!!"

New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia and Cornell in New York City, full name: New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia and Cornell

New York Hospital was established in 1771 as an affiliated hospital of Cornell University Medical College.

Presbyterian Hospital was established in 1868 as an affiliated hospital of Columbia University School of Medicine.

On January 1998, 1, New York Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital officially merged to form New York-Presbyterian Hospital, becoming the largest hospital with the most complete disciplines in New York State.

Both hospitals had a long history before the merger and were well-known in the New York metropolitan area.

It has 14773 employees, 5083 doctors, and 2224 hospital beds.

More than 11 patients were treated and 48264 operations were performed.

There were 145 million outpatient visits, nearly 20 emergency department visits, and 70280 outpatient surgeries.

But even with such sufficient medical resources and brilliant treatment record, after the outbreak of the Apocalypse virus, a huge number of infected people suddenly overcrowded the hospital.

Moreover, after being infected with the Apocalypse virus, as the Apocalypse virus invades, the patient will embark on an irreversible path of crystallization, and metal crystals will soon appear on the surface of the patient's body.

This kind of existence, which is called AP crystal in the Guilty Crown world, can be recovered and peeled off through vaccination and other methods in the case of mild infection.

But in the final stages of the infection, as the crystals are destroyed, the body part where they are located collapses.

Once it is completely crystallized, what awaits the patient is that the entire body will be crystallized and eventually turn into nothingness.

During this time, due to the outbreak of the Apocalypse virus, New York's Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian hospitals have experienced an increase in the number of patients.

And because no corresponding vaccine has been developed, the virus cannot be eliminated. Many patients have begun to crystallize, and many patients have died.

Listening to the voices of doctors and nurses hurriedly coming and going in the corridor outside, Tony Stark couldn't help but sigh. He only realized that the situation was so serious after arriving at the hospital today.

"Ugh!"

"Happy, he's actually infected with that damn apocalypse virus."

Tony Stark was sitting in the VIP reception room of the hospital, beside him were Constantine and Pikachu with serious faces.

Tony still dares to stay in New York like this because Constantine has imposed protective measures on all superheroes to prevent them from being infected for no reason.

Now Tony Stark's eyes are all red and bloodshot, and he looks very embarrassed.

Tony Stark's own driver and bodyguard: Happy, is now infected with the Apocalypse virus and is admitted to the hospital.

Tony Stark himself had protective measures and was not infected by the Apocalypse virus, but his friends were not spared.

"I really didn't expect Happy to be infected with the apocalypse virus."

Constantine spoke up to break the awkward silence, what happened to Happy was something neither of them expected.

"..."

Tony didn't catch Constantine's words, he just looked at the medical record on the table, his eyes were blood red.

Now Tony doesn't know what to do. He is very confused. The only thing Tony can do for Happy now is to pray.

Tony was really anxious and confused.

He didn't want to see his best friend, Happy, who had been with him for so many years, die like this.
