American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

An ordinary person without food cannot survive for more than half a month.

In addition, after natural disasters and upheavals, human food plantations were scattered across large areas.

Therefore, Ultron could simply send drones to drop incendiary bombs and burn down more than 20,000 plantations around the world.

Humanity's food supply will suddenly decrease by 70%.

If resources for survival are insufficient, humanity will fall into a great famine, and the number of people who starve to death will rise sharply.

Ultron has recently been using this kind of overtly efficient, stealthy method of slaughter.

That's why Harvey saw the bizarre scene of drones burning farmland with incendiary bombs.

Lorna, standing to the side, said with a look of pity, "Ultron is trying to starve all of humanity! Poor ordinary people don't even have the ability to struggle."

Harvey glanced at Lorna expressionlessly. "Ultron has an endless army of robots; ordinary people naturally have no power to resist him."

"To be honest, if your father Magneto's plan to turn all of humanity into mutants had been implemented, the situation would be much better now."

Lorna shook her head: "Magneto's ambition is too great. If he really succeeds, he might have ideas similar to Hydra's Pierce becoming emperor."

"Moreover, he is only my father in a biological sense; I have no feelings for him."

Harvey, too lazy to delve into the love-hate entanglement between the father and daughter, slowed down his subsonic flight as he was about to reach the Avengers headquarters.

They landed slowly with the green-haired loli at the heavily guarded gates of the Avengers headquarters.

The Avengers headquarters, which covers an area of ​​20,000 acres, is surrounded by a three-meter-high cement wall.

The open space inside is filled with various modern heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles, and rocket launchers.

Squads of fully armed soldiers patrol 24 hours a day, while F-22 and F-16 fighter jets roar overhead, engaged in fierce air battles with Ultron's armored legions.

In the open-air refugee camp, there were thirty to forty thousand refugees, their faces ashen, so hungry they barely had the strength to stand up, lying crookedly on the ground.

Even though armed helicopters and transport planes frequently fly over the refugee camp, they still fail to attract the attention of these starving civilians.

More than a month ago, Ultron openly attacked military bases around the world with an endless army of robots.

Vast areas collapsed rapidly, and towns in remote regions were almost entirely deserted, with people either starving to death or spontaneously migrating to major cities.

Even as the Avengers' home base, New York still struggles to provide enough resources to support the more than one million refugees who have migrated from surrounding states.

These refugee camps are now everywhere in New York, and most ordinary people survive on a free, tasteless vial of nutrient solution distributed daily by the Avengers.

This type of nutrient can artificially synthesize most of the nutrients needed by the human body, and at a very low cost, it can be synthesized from any kind of food.

In today's world of scarce resources, nutritional supplements have become everyone's only hope for survival.

According to the Avengers' meticulous calculations, each vial of nutrients can only provide the basic energy needed for an average adult to sustain life.

If you move around, cause trouble, or shout every day, you will rapidly deplete your body's energy.

After drinking the nutritional supplement for a month, everyone will lie in an open space every day to reduce the energy required for activity.

At first, the refugee camp was frequently rioted due to food shortages, but now, everyone is too weak to even speak, let alone cause trouble or chaos.

When these refugees realized that they had burned too many calories during the day, they were so hungry and dizzy the next day that they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Everyone was quickly forced to behave.

Harvey, with Lorna, landed stealthily at the entrance of Avengers Headquarters before revealing his true form.

The five or six armed guards at the door immediately shouted warnings such as "Hands up, who are you?"

Harvey ignored the ordinary soldiers and swaggered into the Avengers headquarters with Lorna.

These soldiers in worn-out uniforms soon received orders from their superiors to invite the two distinguished guests in.

Harvey and Lorna were led to an office by a neatly dressed young female clerk.

"Sir, we've brought our guests."

"Thank you, Jennifer, you can go back to work now."

Harvey and Lorna walked into the office.

Wearing a tight-fitting combat suit, Hilt's eyes betrayed his weariness, but seeing the two of them, a hint of joy appeared on his face as he greeted them:

"Welcome, Mr. Harvey and Ms. Lorna. Are you here at Avengers headquarters to trade for healing agents?"

Hill knew perfectly well who the two men were, and at this crucial moment, they didn't seem to be there to cause trouble, so she spoke very politely.

Harvey casually took out fifty bottles of healing potions from his spatial bag and placed them on his desk.

“Ms. Hill, besides trading potions, I also want to understand the current situation.”

Hill looked at the batch of potions with a hint of excitement.

This precious healing medicine, though only fifty bottles are available, can actually have an excellent therapeutic effect on minor injuries with just one drop.

Chapter 192 The Cause of the Moon's Collapse

These fifty bottles of magic potion could save the lives of at least ten thousand seriously wounded soldiers.

The Avengers are currently fighting against Ultron's robot army, and the casualties are extremely high.

With this batch of magic potions, the lives of countless ordinary agents can be saved.

Hill pressed a button on the miniature communicator to his ear, summoning several trusted agents to safely remove the life-saving potion.

He left behind 200 kilograms of extremely pure gold bars as payment for the purchase of the magic potion.

Harvey used his telekinesis to control the gold to rise and fly into his spatial bag, and then, at Hill's invitation, sat on a sofa in the corner of the office and drank tea.

Lorna, standing beside him, remained silent, like a loyal bodyguard, her face icy the entire time.

After a few polite words, Hill got straight to the point and began to introduce the current situation at Avengers headquarters.

"Ultron's robot army is growing at a rate of a thousand units per day, and control of both military and civilian satellites has been seized..."

Overall, Hill was complaining to Harvey about the Avengers' repeated defeats and heavy casualties.

Ultron held a very clear advantage, but instead of being greedy and reckless, he steadily weakened humanity by burning down plantations and launching old-fashioned missiles.

Furthermore, it drives humans to large cities, and once millions of people gather in the cities, they will fight amongst themselves due to food shortages.

During this period, Avengers members even occasionally suffered casualties.

The situation has become extremely dire.

If we compare data from multiple dimensions, such as occupied territory, controlled population and cities, and war casualty data.

Ultron currently occupies less than 30% of the region, with its main base in Germany's precision manufacturing industrial area.

In just over a month, it has caused nearly 50 million casualties.

From this perspective, Ultron's advantages don't seem to be that significant.

Hill, however, saw the deeper logic behind it: the Avengers did not have the decisive power to eliminate Ultron's ever-growing army of robots and armored legions.

On the surface, humanity is barely holding on thanks to the Avengers as a troubleshooter.

In reality, humanity is already in a precarious situation.

Hill estimates that this situation will continue for another two months unless a miracle occurs.

Ultron will then expand its robot army to tens of millions, completely securing its victory.

At that point, the Avengers will be unable to salvage the situation.

Because Ultron's killing efficiency increases exponentially with the increase in the robot army.

From killing thousands of people every day a month ago.

To date, it is estimated that 100,000 people die every day from the gunfire of the robot army, while hundreds of thousands more die from hunger, disease, plague, and other unnatural causes.

Harvey listened patiently for a while and realized that Hill's main point was to make him do manual labor.

He also wanted to use gold as payment to hire Harvey and his women.

Harvey could only make it clear that Hill's daydreams were best left unsaid and didn't need to be brought up and embarrass everyone.

The Marvel universe is a mess; the worldview under American heroism is quite bizarre.

Furthermore, as his power increased, he became increasingly indifferent to the lives of Muggles.

He won't come out as a savior unless all of humanity is wiped out.

After all, Nick Fury had already led nearly 100 million human "elites" to the Beta Galaxy.

Everyone else has run away, so why should I be stupid enough to stay behind and act as a savior?

The blame lies with the capitalist conglomerate led by Black Egg, which doesn't treat ordinary people like human beings at all.

In the eyes of these people,

Ordinary civilians who lack technology, superpowers, and even have sub-optimal health are a completely different species from them.

Since Nick Fury chose to take the elite humans as the spark, abandoning the vast majority of ordinary people of low value.

Harvey wouldn't be a pushover and offer help.

"I'm sorry, we won't stay on Earth, and gold has lost its meaning for me."

"This is our last potion transaction. I might immigrate to another planet after this."

Hill was somewhat disappointed; her earnest words had failed to sway the heart of this indifferent man.

"Okay, I understand your point of view."

"If you want to immigrate to another planet, why not go to the Beta Galaxy? That's humanity's new home, and the Avengers' last resort."

Harvey neither immediately agreed nor refused.

"I'll think about it carefully. By the way, can you find out the cause of the moon's collapse?"

Hill's expression turned serious. "We haven't found much. According to the intelligence shared by the X-Men, the Decepticon leader seems to be hiding in the lunar core."

"The Decepticons, who were hiding on Earth, had a few aliens led by Starscream who went to the moon, and not long after, the moon exploded."

"It is clear that the collapse of the moon is inextricably linked to the restless aliens like the Decepticons."

"Moreover, just a few hours ago, Carol went to space to check the original location of the moon, which had shattered into a large mass of meteorite fragments."

"The Inhumans have been discovered and are fleeing for their lives in a spaceship."
