After destruction, the most difficult task is always reconstruction.
In order to activate the power of the Cosmic Cube, Selvig drained the clean energy source that had just been built in Stark Tower.
The Chitauri invasion destroyed most of the city's power grid, and the circuits in Manhattan were almost completely paralyzed.
If some signal stations had not generated their own electricity and continued to work, the victims would have been unable to make any phone calls.
The most terrifying thing is the famous Wall Street. The world's financial center has now become ruins.
Compared with other losses, the destruction of Wall Street was the biggest blow to America.
This unremarkable street almost gathers the financial lifeline of the entire world. In this unprepared attack, the United States lost a large amount of important financial data.
The world's largest stock trading market has collapsed, and a stock market crash that everyone can expect is about to happen.
A financial crisis far more serious than Black Tuesday is about to sweep the world.
However, Dane had foreseen this and prepared for it.
The intact Clinton district would naturally assume the responsibilities of Manhattan and take over the functions originally performed by Wall Street.
Under normal circumstances, Wall Street would certainly be irreplaceable, but who made it so unlucky to encounter such an irresistible force as an alien invasion?
In the insurance industry, this situation may not even result in compensation.
The financial database can be slowly completed using data backups, and financial talents can be directly recruited. I believe that under the current circumstances, no one will refuse the conditions offered by Umbrella.
In Manhattan today, the construction industry, rather than finance, is clearly the top priority.
As long as the timing is right, the Clinton area will become the second Wall Street.
Umbrella will directly inherit the legacy of Wall Street and seize the world's economic arteries.
As long as Umbrella uses legal means to control the world and does not intend to control the free will of all mankind, it will eventually become a behemoth that transcends all countries if it continues on its current path.
They don't have to worry about superheroes popping up from nowhere and attacking them in the name of justice, like Hydra did.
After all, at the moment, there is no organization more "righteous" than Umbrella.
After the Avengers disbanded, Thor took Loki back to Asgard that same day without meeting Nick.
At the same time, he did not comment on the whereabouts of the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter.
Compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., he obviously trusts Dane more.
This is the benefit of building good relationships in advance, so you don’t have to worry about anyone interfering at a critical moment.
Tony Stark returned to Stark Industries to take charge of the overall situation.
During this war, his industry also suffered a major blow. Manhattan is the headquarters of Stark Enterprises, and his building was almost completely destroyed.
Fortunately, Stark's industrial chain is spread all over the world, and Manhattan is only a place to handle daily affairs, administration and financial work, not the location of major manufacturing.
The blow suffered by Stark Enterprises was not serious, and with their foundation, they recovered quickly.
Natasha and Hawkeye return to S.H.I.E.L.D. to report.
After this battle, Steve Rogers' relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. became deeper, and he was considered to have completely joined S.H.I.E.L.D.
But his real purpose was to take the opportunity to investigate Hydra's internal intelligence.
When Nick's plan was exposed before, he had guessed that the idea of using the Cosmic Cube to create weapons seemed like Hydra's style no matter how you looked at it.
The same set that Red Skull is familiar with.
He was lucky that his rental apartment in Brooklyn was not affected and he did not become homeless.
After this, Dr. Banner insisted on leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. despite Nick's attempts to keep him.
He had indeed hesitated before whether to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, he still had a criminal record, which could only be cleared by the official.
But the Cosmic Cube incident made him see clearly what kind of organization S.H.I.E.L.D. is, and he is afraid that he will become Nick's thug.
Whether it is the knowledge in Banner's mind or the Hulk's strength, it seems that they are something that can be used by S.H.I.E.L.D.
After thinking about it, he found that it was more comfortable to stay in Umbrella.
Therefore, after the invasion, he resolutely left S.H.I.E.L.D. and returned to Umbrella.
Dane did not refuse him. Although he no longer needed Hulk's serum, even if Banner was just an ordinary employee, he was a genius with seven doctoral degrees.
With this degree, he is more than qualified to be the laboratory director of Anlela.
Especially his achievements in the field of gamma radiation, there are almost no scholars on the entire earth who can match him.
Gamma rays are also a very important component of the cosmic energy absorbed by Dane, and Banner's research is also beneficial to him.
Although the development of the Avengers was not as good as Nick expected, he was not in a bad mood.
Atlas recovered some of the Chitauri equipment, but that was only a small portion, and a large amount of equipment was lost throughout Manhattan.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. could collect those things and study them, then the level of technology would definitely rise to a higher level.
As for the Cosmic Cube, didn't Dane say it was a loan? So it's only a matter of time before it returns to S.H.I.E.L.D.
The only thing that is a little worrying is the scepter that can control people's hearts, but Nick can't care about it now.
There was a lot of mess in New York waiting for him to clean up, and the work at hand was already too much for him to handle.
Only Jessica Jones was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Our time on stage this time is too short!" She is not tall, but she has a strong aura, like a big sister.
"This should have been a battle for us defenders to become famous!"
Luke Cage rolled his eyes while wiping his wine glass: "We are not a rock band, Jessica. It doesn't matter to us whether we are famous or not."
Ever since Hell's Kitchen became Clinton, his life had become much more stable, and he liked it that way.
There are no gangs, no drug trafficking, and no super villains appearing from time to time trying to destroy the world.
After Umbrella was stationed here, many illegal organizations were wiped out, and most of the original street heroes had given up their superhero careers.
Daredevil Matt is now a well-known lawyer in Clinton area, and he is busy with endless lawsuits every day.
Danny Iron Fist inherited the family business. He is not as talented as Bruce Wayne, so if he wants to develop the business, he must go all out.
Besides, the Hand has fallen, so he basically has no enemies left, and the Dragon Bone is guarded by Umbrella, so the Iron Fist is useless.
The Punisher, on the other hand, still likes to roam around the United States.
The scope of his "law enforcement" is not limited to New York. As long as there is illegality, he doesn't mind going there to "punish" Lu.
This time, if the Chitauri's attack hadn't been too fierce, these former Hell's Kitchen superheroes might not have been able to get together.
As time goes by, new darkness and new lawlessness will surely emerge in the Clinton area.
But not all illegal activities need to be solved by wearing masks.
But occasionally when they calm down, they will feel that they have no place to vent their abilities.
This is also one of the reasons why Jessica was able to persuade them to go out together this time.
She pounded her fist on the solid wood table, leaving spider-web-like cracks on it even without using much force.
Luke Cage's eye twitched.
"You guys, do you really want your abilities to be buried like this?"
"We can definitely do more!"
Chapter 897 Jessica's Thoughts
Jessica's words made the atmosphere a little silent.
As the saying goes, when a weapon is in hand, murderous intent arises. Although these street heroes have no intention of doing evil, sometimes they inevitably want to use their abilities to do something.
Matt Murdock could be a respectable lawyer, but secretly he's a vigilante.
A person who should adhere to the bottom line of the law is the first to cross the bottom line.
On the surface, it seems to be to punish evil and promote good, but in fact, they wear masks because they have the ability and don't want to endure it.
Every superhero has chosen a difficult path on their own and cannot blame others.
Among the crowd, only the Punisher disdains this. His scope of activities is too wide, not even limited to America. The whole world is his hunting ground.
Compared to other regional street heroes, he is more interested in revenge, so he is unmoved by Jessica's words.
"I'm not interested in your band. Now that things are over in New York, I should leave."
After saying that, he drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
He put the money under the cup, then turned and walked out of the bar without any reluctance.
Mark's ears moved, and then he stood up: "That's it, Jessica. Actually, if you think about it carefully, life is not bad now."
"Mark, even you are like this?" Jessica looked incredulous. "You are Daredevil!"
"I'm just a blind lawyer now." He smiled gently, "and there's nothing wrong with me being able to do the right thing even without a mask."
As he said this, he shook out his blind stick and walked out of the bar.
Jessica turned to look at the remaining two people. "What about you two? Are you as lacking in fighting spirit as them?"
"Please spare me." Danny rubbed his head, looking like he had a headache.
"I'm busy with the family business now and have no time to participate in activities."
"And I think it's actually pretty good right now. The Clinton district has been built up bit by bit right under our noses. If it goes wrong, wouldn't that prove that we're doing a worse job than Kingpin?"
Although Hell's Kitchen under Kingpin's control is dark, you can't say it is disorderly.
It’s just that this order is subject to Jin Bing’s interests.
As for Luke, he shrugged and said, "I just want to run this bar well. I don't want to worry about anything else."
Seeing these two people lying flat on their backs, Jessica felt a little angry at them for not fighting.
"Look at you guys. How have you become like this? Have you forgotten when we fought against the Hand together?"
"But now there is no Hand, and no Kingpin..."
“But some people still commit crimes!”
Even Luke was having a headache now. This woman wasn't a fresh graduate, so why did she like playing superhero games so much?
But she also has very strong super powers...
"Jessica, have you forgotten that there's something called the police in this country? And you know that Atlas has always been involved in Clinton District's security."
There are petty thefts everywhere, it's normal. We can't require superheroes to intervene even for such things, right?
How much do you despise the police?
Hearing him talk about Atlas, Jessica curled her lips:
"Who knows if Atlas is another organization similar to the Hand? I think it's very dangerous for such a powerful force to be controlled by a private company..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Luke and Danny looking at her with very strange eyes.
Hey man, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
You haven't forgotten where you came from, have you?
On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.
"Oh?"
At this moment, a soft voice suddenly appeared in the quiet bar.
Jessica's face froze instantly. Luke lowered his head and continued to wipe the wine glass in his hand, as if there was something on it that couldn't be wiped clean.
Danny drank silently, pretending he didn't hear anything.
Jessica turned her neck nervously, and when she turned around, she saw Dane with a cold expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
Before she could react at all, a flattering smile appeared on her face.
"Dai... Dane, why are you here..."
Dane stepped forward, ignoring the anxious Jessica, and pushed the folded bills in front of Luke.
"whisky."
Luke took the money and immediately made him a drink.
