I'm the Demon King in Marvel

After collecting the existing intelligence, it suddenly realized that in addition to the lack of food and water in the blockaded Hawaiian Islands, even a breath of clean air would become a luxury in the future.
Because there are too many people staying in this archipelago!
Previously, the permanent population of the Hawaiian Islands was about 130 million, but now it has skyrocketed to nearly 300 million, far exceeding the land's carrying capacity by countless times.
After the civil war broke out in the United States, countries around the world have successively strengthened their entry screening of American refugees. Canada and Mexico have been even more severe, imposing harsh requirements on Americans trying to enter the country: for example, they must first deposit a certain amount of funds in a bank under their control.
When have Americans, who are used to being high and mighty, ever suffered such injustice?
As a result, residents in the war zone fled to states that had not yet been affected by the war and would most likely not be affected in the future.
Hawaii, far away from the mainland and with a pleasant climate, became the first choice. People with money and without money all flocked here, resulting in all hotels in Hawaii being fully occupied.
It is convenient for handsome men and beautiful women. As long as they agree to some of the requirements of the local landlord, they can live there for free.
During the months of the civil war, prices in Hawaii have risen several times. The middle class who can no longer afford it have had to leave sadly. But would the rich guys care whether a meal costs five dollars or twenty dollars?
After the frivolous middle class was squeezed out, all that was left were the rich and the handsome men and beautiful women who depended on the rich for survival.
These people were not short of money, so naturally there were trading companies that transported all kinds of daily necessities over. The "Southwest Federation" came at the perfect time, and while making money it was also winning over these people and laying the foundation for its network to replace the "Eastern Federation".
"I accessed the systems of various trading companies and the Taiping Fleet and obtained their supply records for the past month. After analysis, I found that if the food and water on the island are used sparingly, they can still sustain for another month. However, in this blocked area, the air cannot circulate with the outside world..."
Even now that the blockade has just been discovered, large-scale riots have already broken out in the city, with injuries occurring frequently. Future conflicts will only become more intense.
Wherever there is conflict there will be casualties. If the bodies are not properly handled they will naturally decay and produce large amounts of harmful gases.
Burning corpses consumes precious fuel and also produces toxic gases.
Even if the bodies are thrown into the ocean to be decomposed by microorganisms, manpower needs to be organized. Organizing civilian manpower means that the authorities must pay for food, but will the authorities waste extremely limited food to do this?
Not to mention, the inevitable fires that occur during riots are the biggest source of toxic gases. People in despair will do many self-destructive behaviors, playing with fire is the most common one.
The self-purification system in the blockade area is unable to handle the toxic gases produced, and the purification speed is far behind the production speed.
"In the future, the military will definitely control supplies and watch civilians fight. After the largest number of civilians are consumed, they can rely on the stored food to sustain themselves for a longer period of time..."
Pepper was forced to accept the reality and immediately asked Jarvis: "Are there any materials in the warehouse to renovate the villa?"
"Mr. Stark has stored a lot of supplies in the warehouse. I can use the existing materials to design a modification plan. There are also ten battle armors and reactors for replacement. The electricity is enough to support hundreds of years." Jarvis replied.
"In the future, these ten battle armors will be our force guarantee to resist the pressure from the military."
Happy ran into the house and reported, "Miss Potts, the streets are in chaos! Everyone is scrambling for food and water."
"Don't go out again. Jarvis is in charge of the outer defense. We must seal the house as soon as possible."
"Huh?" Happy was confused.
"The air on the island will soon get bad!"
Pepper forced herself to harden her heart. She could already see the cruel scene in the near future where the islanders would hold their necks with their hands and struggle in pain.
It's obvious that all kinds of violence will break out outside soon and an exchange of fire is inevitable. The Hawaiian authorities should be able to deal with the rich people who come to complain, but how can they expect them to maintain order on the streets?
The American government is not meant to serve the people.
After listening to Pepper's story, "Producer Man" Happy shuddered and immediately found tools to decorate the villa.
His mission was only to protect Pepper Potts. What did the lives of those people outside have to do with him?
As long as they hold on, Happy believes that Mr. Stark will come back to save them.
As for why Mr. Stark dared to leave his girlfriend to the care of bodyguard Happy...because Happy is the producer!
Who has the final say on whether Tony Stark can have a girlfriend and whether his girlfriend is pretty?
Producer!
Who will be Tony Stark's girlfriend first?
Producer!
After Tony Stark's death, who will take care of his wife and daughter?
Producer!
So Tony Stark would never doubt Happy's character.
While they were busy renovating their villa by the sea, chaos was already breaking out on the streets of Hawaii. All those who got the news reacted and rushed to supermarkets and storage warehouses.
The supermarket had been robbed many times, but the storage warehouse was surrounded by the Marines who rushed in after hearing the news.
These are their things!
Chapter 361 American Purgatory (Part )
The Hawaiian Islands are home to a U.S. military base in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, which is the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet.
Due to geographical factors, this military base was more affected by the "Southwest Federation". Although the fleet commander tried to sell it at a higher price, the "Southwest Federation" strangled his lifeline with logistical supplies.
Today, along the Pacific coast of the United States, Washington State and Oregon in the north are in the hands of Indian descendants, and California in the south is the base camp of the "Southwest Federation". In addition to supplying materials to the Pacific Fleet and Hawaii, can they really expect the "Eastern Federation" to come all the way to deliver supplies?
The Pacific Fleet had no choice at all. Even if there were officers controlled by the Jewish consortium in the northeast, they could not go against the trend.
But these are all old news. When the Hawaiian Islands were blockaded, the American soldiers on the islands could only rely on themselves.
After confirming the light film at sea and in the sky by speedboat and drone respectively, the Taiping Fleet immediately dispatched Marines to take over the reserve warehouse on the island without even notifying the Hawaiian authorities.
The army is a violent institution. When order exists, it will obey the rules set by civilians because promotions and welfare benefits are all in the hands of "pen-and-paper clerks." But once order collapses, the army will reveal its true face.
Now that the blockade has been confirmed, the first thing a normal person would think of is scrambling for food and water.
"After the first wave of riots is over, the National Guard will probably be dispatched. We won't have to worry about it. We just need to guard the warehouse." The Marine captain gave orders to his team members.
They are directly under the federal government. No federation will allow them to interfere in local administration, and they are too lazy to deal with these troublesome matters.
As Americans with extensive experience in dealing with riots, they all knew that it would be almost impossible for police officers and the National Guard in each city to arrive at the scene in the first place.
Not long ago, a convenience store in Oakland was robbed by hundreds of people. After the owner called the police, local police arrived at the scene nine hours later.
Afterwards, they were not held accountable, and no one in the local police department, from top to bottom, thought that this was an accident for which someone needed to be held accountable.
So Americans are very experienced and know that riots come in waves. The military and police will only be dispatched to clean up the situation after the first wave is over.
The incident in Hawaii today is quite big and people need to vent their emotions, so it may take a little while.
In fact, local police officers and the National Guard also need time to "raise" daily necessities for the whole family!
Wait until they finish their work and change into their work clothes, and then we can go out, right?
The route is the same, and it will be even faster!
The riots lasted from morning to afternoon, until there was nothing left to loot on the streets, and the exhausted people returned to their homes.
But another unfortunate thing happened.
"Fuck! I clearly paid a month's rent, why don't you let us stay here?"
"How dare you kick my wife and children out? Do you want to die?"
"Bang bang bang", a series of gunshots rang out.
The hot-tempered guest tried to use violence against the hotel security, but unexpectedly the hotel security who was well prepared actually pulled out a real gun.
"You saw it all. He attacked me first. I was acting in self-defense."
After saying that, the security guard casually took a few steps forward and kicked aside a few cans beside the body, completely ignoring the woman whose face was splashed with her husband's blood and the terrified child.
"If I were you, I'd find a safe place to hide right now." The murderous security guard leaned close to the widow's ear and laughed, "I'm kind-hearted and can provide you with a place to live..."
"what!!!!"
The woman's scream pierced the eardrums of the security guard who was caught off guard.
"Bichi!"
The security guard was furious. He covered his ears with one hand and slapped the woman's face with the other hand, knocking out two of her bloody back teeth.
"Do you really think I care about you? The last thing the island lacks right now is beautiful women!"
After realizing that the Hawaiian Islands were blockaded, any big shot with some power on the island immediately organized his men to protect their respective industries while plundering as many supplies as possible.
Food and water are necessities, and electricity and fuel are also critical supplies.
This is also the reason why hotels immediately broke their contracts and drove out their guests.
When guests stay in the hotel, they still consume water and electricity even if food is not provided.
As for reputation...if the blockade is short, the worst that can happen is that we have to push out a few general managers to report to the public. But if the blockade is long, is there still a need to report to the public?
The hotels were like this, and local residents in Hawaii also began to evict previous free guests. No matter how much they begged, or even jumped on the landlords to hold the evidence, they could not resist the hard-heartedness of these landlords.
Of course, there are bound to be some "lost everything" scenes caused by improper operation.
Although riots were raging in Hawaii at this time, most people had not yet felt despair. Many people who reacted quickly even grabbed enough food and water to last for ten days or half a month.
No one has noticed yet that the air is quietly becoming turbid.
Even if they find out, they won't care. After all, there is smoke in the city and everyone will think it is air pollution caused by the fire and it will be gone after a while.
This is an archipelago in the heart of the ocean!
How many people could have imagined that an island could be so stuffy?
No one noticed that the wind in Hawaii had died down.
In the days that followed, the unrest continued, with humanitarian tragedies unfolding every moment on the Hawaiian Islands over the shortage of food and water, which are essential for survival.
Hell is not empty, and the devil has not come to the world, but the land of America has turned into hell.
In order to survive, most people released the beast that had been imprisoned in their bodies for many years.
"Please, give me some food!" A ragged blonde woman holding a swaddled baby knocked on doors from house to house.
Behind every building and every door, there are armed homeowners, ready and vigilant.
"Get out! Or I'll kill you!"
"Please, my child can't hold on any longer..."
After knocking on dozens of houses, an old woman finally showed some kindness and opened a hole in the door. She hung a small piece of rotten bread from the barrel of a gun and stuck it out of the crack.
