Ultraman in Marvel World
Chapter 251
Chapter 251
"When Mr. Stark shut down the weapons department, many people criticized his decision, including newspapers, radio stations, and of course some talk shows. After all, current affairs news, which talk show does not comment on current affairs news?"
Dr. Banner glanced at Mo Ye, who was trying to change the topic. Obviously, he didn't want to discuss this topic. The existence of the Avengers is very embarrassing. General security incidents are managed by the police. There are a lot of departments such as anti-terrorist department, FBI, CIA, etc. Each has its own jurisdiction, which can be said to cover any accidents in the world.
Now there are radishes in every pit. The Avengers, which suddenly appeared, have no pits for it to occupy. The police will be very unhappy when they go to the streets to fight crime and gangsters; The alien army of multiple departments such as the special forces has no department to recruit, but the alien invasion has only appeared twice in 40 years, and it is not known when the next time will be.
Far away in the desert on the other side of the earth, in a warehouse in Tucheng, the filming started again. Mandarin once again put on the low-key, luxurious robe and sat on the throne covered with animal skins. like a chair.
The light was very dim, like night, and only the figure of Mandalin and the huge Ten Rings banner behind him could be seen clearly, and two gun-wielding thugs in black hoods stood beside him, standard Thugs dressed up, at first glance, they are not kind people.
The mandalin, who was trembling and timid before, turned into an arrogant and domineering boss who ignored everything in an instant when facing the camera. Said: "President Ellis, I hope you can learn something from the lessons I taught you before, but now it seems that you are completely indifferent, or unwilling to accept the fact that the warriors have awakened.
For such a result, I feel very sorry. Starting today, if the invaders do not evacuate the Mesopotamia, the attacks will not stop for a day. I will give you and your people the deepest fear, and let you live in fear all the time , until you understand that we are the masters here.
"
For a whole day, Mandarin has been recording videos in this warehouse, repeating the lines and shooting each unsatisfactory segment repeatedly, and finally finished this 2-minute video that looks like a declaration of decisive battle, and the rest The job is the job of the post-production team.
However, this does not mean that Mandarin has nothing to do. He will continue to record a new script the next day, without any time to rest. He is even busier than at Killian's film and television shooting base.The new script is not so dark, but an impassioned call to action.
Standing under the banner of the Ten Rings Gang, Mandarin loudly announced the war mobilization order to the camera: "Every warrior living in this land should fight for this land and drive out the invaders in order to Be the master here, not the slave"
In the end, Mandarin turned his head slightly with great momentum, and said his name to the camera, "I am a Mandarin, I am in the Two Rivers field, and I am waiting for fighters who are willing to fight for freedom."
Killian's ideas were completely copied by Mandarin and carried forward, but these videos are still in production and have not been released, so naturally they are not known to the world.What the world is most concerned about now is the two Hulk rampages that broke out in the Avengers within a few days, causing heavy casualties and economic losses.
Especially the appointment, at this moment, some people feel panic. After all, the Stark Tower in Manhattan has been changed to the Avengers Tower, which means that the Avengers will be stationed there in the future. Explosion of dynamite.
The housing prices in the prosperous area where the Stark Tower was originally located were very high. The Chitauri invasion caused a wave of plummeting, and it finally stabilized. Now it has begun to drop again, especially in the vicinity of the Avengers Tower, which has dropped the fastest , who is not worried that Hulk will run away.
Yesterday, I was still sympathizing with Dr. Banner and wanted to seek justice for him. Today, the wind has changed. The voices of sympathy and justice are very small. The new topic of discussion is: the violent and destructive Hulk, should he Should it be controlled?
Think about it, there is a firecracker factory next door, can you sleep peacefully?I'm afraid even making a fire to cook is frightening. It is definitely a good place to quit smoking. Those who say that they are unsuccessful in quitting smoking go to work in a firecracker factory.
In Stark's villa, Stark's bloodshot eyes stared at the holographic projection in front of him. On it was a model of a steel suit, which looked exactly like the anti-Hulk that he had discussed with Dr. Banner armor.Five days ago, Stark woke up in the basement, and his mind was full of images of the mandarin taking off the steel suit with ease and forcibly pulling the ark reactor off his chest.
Since then, Stark has been working day and night on the anti-Hulk armor that is so powerful that it has no limit. The steel suits of other departments, whether they have only an idea, or half of the design, or almost the design, have been thrown away. Yes, everything must give way in front of the anti-Hulk armor.
When Pepper walked into the basement, what he saw was Stark with sunken eye sockets and a blue face. He quickly clicked on the virtual console with both hands, and kept throwing a part of the Hulk armor into the trash. Or modify a part.
It seems that the work is very serious, but the little pepper can see it clearly. Almost all the work Stark does is repeated, modifying and replacing parts, but changing A to B, repairing B to C, and changing C to D. Finally Changing D to A, busy for half an hour, is completely useless.
Pepper watched for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Tony, take a break, you haven't closed your eyes for more than ten hours."
"No need," Stark stared at the screen and said without looking back, "I'm full of energy now, and it's a good time to work."
"Tony." Pepper stepped forward, grabbed Tony forcibly, let his hands leave the virtual console, turned his face, looked at Stark's red eyes with distress, and said: "I know you are now It’s very anxious, but any job cannot be completed in a day, you look at your work record, it’s completely repeating the previous work, take a break.”
Stark finally reacted, looking blankly at the little pepper who was close at hand, and said like a dream: "The steel suit is not strong enough, it needs to become stronger."
"I know, I know, Tony," Pepper tried to make his tone gentler, holding Stark's face, and said softly: "But you need to rest now, have a good sleep, and wake up again It’s not too late to keep working.”
"No," Stark's eyes changed, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "I must create a stronger steel suit as soon as possible, it must be stronger, otherwise, otherwise."
Stark couldn't continue talking, his eyes were sluggishly looking ahead, and several intertwined images could not help appearing in his mind: being hit by a bomb, pulling off his clothes and finding blood oozing out of the body armor, Some were tortured in various ways in caves, some worked desperately to make steel battle suits, there was a big hole in the sky above the contract, and countless alien armies poured out from inside, and some steel battle suits made ugly sounds , and then fall apart
Stark suddenly trembled all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt icy cold all over his body, and the biting coldness penetrated into every cell of him, and he seemed to be submerged in water. It was so difficult that Stark couldn't help but take a big breath.
The sound of rapid breathing reached Little Pepper's ears, and Stark looked very strange, as if he saw something terrible, trembling all over, he grabbed her hands and clenched them tightly, as if grabbing her. Like a lifesaver.
"Tony Tony" Pepper yelled loudly several times, vigorously shaking Stark who was very strange, raised his head and shouted: "Jarvis, call the rescue helicopter immediately, there is still a notice"
"I'm fine." Stark in his arms seemed to wake up from a dream. He stopped Little Pepper's next words, struggled to stand up from Xiaojiali's arms, shook his head, and subconsciously touched his chest with his right hand. After encountering the hard Ark reactor, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"How could it be okay?" Pepper looked at Stark's extremely ugly face, and continued to shout: "Jarvis, get someone from the hospital immediately, Tony, we won't go to the hospital, but we must ask the doctor to give you a good examination .”
"I said, I'm fine." Stark's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and he shouted at Little Pepper like a roar, only to realize that something was wrong, turned his head away, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm just fine, Jarvis is the best doctor in the world, there's no need for a doctor."
Pepper frowned and shouted into the air, "Jarvis, what's wrong with Tony?"
"Judging from the current situation, Mr. Stark is suffering from severe anxiety disorder. I suggest to cooperate with drug treatment." Jarvis quickly gave the illness judged based on Stark's symptoms.
"No, I'm fine, just...just" Stark rejected Jarvis's 'diagnosis' without hesitation, covered his eyes with his right hand, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, as if he was thinking of an excuse. He said, "Maybe I really need to take a break."
Hearing Stark say 'rest', Pepper was greatly relieved. Stark has always been stubborn, willful, willful and other words, which can't be more suitable to describe him.Just like in 2010, when Stark just came back from the Middle East, the first thing he did was not to go to the hospital for a physical examination, but to hold a press conference to disband Stark’s military industry department, which was thriving and making money every day.
Before making this decision, he did not disclose the news to anyone, and directly announced this earth-shattering news in front of N Multimedia, even if the board of directors of Stark Industries initiated the "expulsion" procedure because of this, people from all walks of life Qi went to the battle to persuade, but failed to make Stark take back his decision. In the end, Stark Industries completely withdrew from the military industry.
After the Battle of Miami, Stark entered into this kind of working state day and night, and the rest time began to decrease continuously. Yesterday, he only rested for two or three hours, and then he devoted himself to work, without sleep for more than ten hours in a row of.
Stark in this state is really abnormal. Even when he came back from the Middle East, he had never been like this before. Pepper, the CEO of Stark Industries, left the work at hand and flew back to persuade Stark to rest.Unexpectedly, Stark's condition was so bad that his face was so haggard that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was seriously ill.
Although Stark was stubbornly unwilling to ask for a doctor, Pepper decided in his heart to let Stark have a comprehensive examination. Even Jarvis said that Stark suffered from "anxiety disorder". The state, and the state just now, how could he not be sick?
Taking advantage of Stark's idea of 'resting', Pepper hurriedly helped Stark to the stairs, preparing to send Stark back to the bedroom with all his strength, so that he could rest for a while.But at this moment, Jarvis suddenly said: "Sir, there is a communication from General Ross, do you want to pick it up?"
"No, tell him that Tony is resting, and we can talk about it tomorrow." Before Stark could speak, Pepper flatly refused, and finally persuaded Stark to rest, not to mention General Ross, even the President wanted to In the back, nothing is as important as Stark's health.
Stark didn't say a word, and continued to walk towards the stairs, and Jarvis also rejected General Ross' call request according to Pepper's words, but the matter did not end there. Stark just opened the high-strength glass doors in the basement and stairwell, Jarvis' voice sounded again: "Sir, General Ross sent a video, maybe you need to watch it."
"Tell General Ross that Tony will watch it when he wakes up." Pepper wanted Stark to continue walking towards the stairwell, but Stark stopped, turned his head, and said, "Jarvis , play the video."
"Okay, sir!"
Jarvis received Stark's order, and a holographic projection immediately began to play a 2-minute long video from General Ross. In the brightly lit corridor, he was as cautious as if he was going deep into a tiger's den.
In the No.15 second of the video, an unexpected appearance appeared, and a "person" suddenly walked out of the room three meters in front. The reason for adding single quotation marks is because this "person" has no human appearance at all.
The exposed skin is full of green abscesses, which can definitely kill trypophobia patients. A gray-white bone spur pierces the skin and military uniform at the elbow of the right arm, while the left arm swells and breaks the clothes, and the spine is twisted into a Type S, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a human being.
And Stark focused on the military uniform on the monster, the epaulets, the dog tag on the neck and other information-containing objects, and immediately shouted at Jarvis: "Jarvis, check his identity."
Rows of photos immediately appeared on the screen next to the video. According to the objects on the monster, they were eliminated and compared. After two seconds, a qualified person was found, and the information of this person was displayed on the big screen.
In the photo of enlisting in the army, there is a very young, sunny boy, and this distorted monster in the image is completely two species. He is only 21 years old, which is the best period of his life, but he has turned into such an ugly, scary monster.
"What is this?" Pepper's voice changed. It was like a biohazard, turning a good person into such a monster.
The video was still playing. The monster turned his head to look at the special forces, revealing his face that seemed to have been run over by a truck, and then rushed towards him like a gust of wind. There were intense gunshots and screams.
This kind of noise lasted for about 45 seconds, and then calm was restored. The camera that fell on the ground captured the monster leaving with three steps and three shakes, and the blood gradually spreading on the ground. The time axis reached [-] seconds, It became a picture taken by another team of special forces, but the background was changed to a stairwell, but the plot was the same. When encountering monsters, the team was wiped out.
The third team of special forces also had the same fate. In a short 2-minute video, a total of 24 special forces of the three teams were wiped out. They all encountered various monsters in confined spaces such as corridors and stairwells, and then conducted encounters In the end, the team was wiped out.
In the narrow environment, it is impossible to use powerful weapons, even the grenade can't be thrown out, so you can only attack the monsters with the rifle in your hand, but the bullets hit these monsters, but it seems to tickle them, it has no effect. And the monsters are one by one, easily destroying the team.
The 2-minute video was watched by Stark three or four times over and over again, and the identities of the four monsters who appeared were found out, all of them were soldiers in service, and the unit numbers were all the same, but now it has become monsters, which made Stark wonder if an accident occurred in the military's super-soldier experiment, causing these monsters to run out.
Stark had no thought of resting anymore, turned around and walked back, saying as he walked, "Jarvis, contact General Ross."
"Okay, sir!"
Stark's call was connected a second later. Obviously, General Ross had been waiting for this call. Before Stark could speak, General Ross shouted in an anxious tone: "Mr. Stark, see Did I send you the video, I need Bruce Banner's help, tell me, where is he?"
Stark picked up the coffee cup on the side, drank it down, and said, "You should know better than me where Dr. Banner is. After all, I don't pay attention to him all the time." The implication is that you are better than me. They all pay attention to Dr. Banner, how could they not know where he is?
General Ross stood in a room full of screens, staring at more than 20 screens hanging on the wall in front of him, and said anxiously: "I, no, there are many people who need Dr. Banner's help, he is a gamma ray No one knows more about gamma rays than he does.”
"Uh huh!" Stark snorted twice, with a look of 'I'm not interested in asking'. He knows the negotiation skills very well. Now it's General Ross who comes to ask for help. Naturally, he wants to blackmail him, otherwise you say If you want me to help you, I will help you, why?You are my son.
Not to mention, the grievances between Dr. Banner and General Ross can be described as 'the hatred is as deep as the sea'. It is absolutely impossible to help the enemy unless Dr. Banner goes crazy or turns into the white lotus of the Virgin. He even heard that General Ross was in trouble, and maybe popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
General Ross naturally understood this, and quickly explained: "I did not give the order to attack Dr. Banner last time, but Samuel Stern. Bruce Banner must know this person. He once helped Bruce Banner Na concocted a temporary antidote.
On November 2010, 11, the abomination of the battle with the Ultra fighters in Chinatown was created by Samuel Stern with the copied Hulk serum, and he himself was affected by the battle and infected with the Hulk serum. When cleaning the scene He was found and taken to hospital for treatment.”
While speaking, General Ross sent Stark photos of Samuel Stern before and after infection, and specifically pointed out that the group of soldiers who attacked Bruce Banner last time was Samuel Stern The project I was in charge of portrayed myself as a poor person who didn't know anything and was cheated by his subordinates.
Of course, it’s up to you if you believe it or not. Obviously Stark didn’t believe it. He didn’t say Bruce Banner, but asked what happened. General Ross said that Samuel Stern is the person in charge of a certain project, so he knew that these monsters should be caused by the Hulk serum experiment. Now he wants to know what happened to make these monsters come out and kill three teams of special forces.
General Ross was very sad and ashamed to say about the tragic time that happened a week ago. Samuel Stern got the Hulk serum, and after the injection, a secondary mutation occurred, and he also activated the gamma ray machine in the base, allowing the The level of gamma-ray radiation throughout the base has risen a thousandfold.
What's even more frightening is that during the radiation monitoring of the escaped soldiers, it was found that the blood of the soldiers at the base contained more or less Hulk serum. That is to say, the scope of Samuel Stern's experiment was the personnel of the entire base. Using an unknown method, he poisoned the entire base with 'blood poison'.
In this case, I am afraid that Samuel Stern has already been planning, otherwise, how could he poison the people in the entire base, and secretly modified the gamma ray machine, making the gamma ray so strong that thousands of Less than a quarter of the large human base has escaped, and all the others have fallen into it.
As soon as the accident happened, General Ross cut off the energy supply of the base and stopped the gamma ray machine, which prevented most people from suffering too much gamma ray radiation and dying on the spot or receiving too much radiation. mutated by gamma rays.
But here lies the difficulty. If the people in the entire base are all dead or mutated, then there is nothing to consider. Just use ground-penetrating missiles to blow up the base. Impossible to survive.
Except for the soldiers who mutated and died tragically due to excessive radiation, there were still thousands of soldiers alive, but the mutated soldiers were rampant in the base, and even trained soldiers couldn't stop their frontal blows.At the beginning, under the organization of the headquarters, the surviving soldiers rushed out in batches, but when they walked out of the hiding place, they were discovered by the mutant soldiers, followed by a one-sided massacre.
Three times of rushing out in succession ended in failure. Nearly [-] surviving soldiers died at the hands of their former comrades. The headquarters no longer dared to let people leave the room protected by thick iron doors, and started a rescue operation, trying to rescue these soldiers. Come out, and bomb the base directly.
It is a pity that the rescue operations all ended in failure. This base was built with a huge amount of resources and a huge amount of money. Not only the defense is amazing, the terrain is also very complicated, and there are several layers of steel plates and reinforced concrete on the roof. The progress of the ground penetration operation was extremely slow, and the result of the frontal attack was the destruction of teams of special forces. The video sent to Stark was only part of it.
In the past five days, more than 200 special forces have died in this base. The result is that more than 200 soldiers on the upper floors have been rescued, and nearly [-] soldiers have been trapped deeper in the base. What's more serious is that The bottom floor received the most radiation. Many of these soldiers had symptoms of nuclear radiation. If they were not rescued as soon as possible and treated, after a while, there would be no need to bother with rescue operations, and the corpses would be collected directly. .
All feasible methods have been tried, and the cost is too high. You can’t take a thousand normal soldiers in order to save 1000 people who have been affected by radiation and don’t know if they can continue to serve in the future. A loss-making deal.
Therefore, in desperation, General Ross had to call for help from the Transhuman Alliance—the Avengers, hoping to get their help, especially Bruce Banner, who is a leading expert in gamma rays and was also responsible for He has passed the Super Soldier Project, and is also the body of the Hulk serum.If he can't find a solution, then the whole earth has no other way.
So General Ross had to put aside his past grudges, humbly ask Bruce Banner for help, and was prepared to be blackmailed, as long as the conditions were not particularly excessive, he would grit his teeth and agree.After all, this accident happened in his base. If thousands of people died, he would be sent to a military court for trial, let alone promoted.
For the sake of the future, this accident must have a good result, such as rescuing the surviving soldiers after untold hardships, so that it is in line with a person who loves his subordinates.
Just like the movie "Saving Private", which successfully shaped and conveyed the concern of the US imperialists for the soldiers and the people. In order not to let a mother lose all her sons, they ordered the mother's last son to leave the battlefield. The lives of six soldiers.
The movie condemns the cruel war, extols the brilliance of human nature, and promotes the positive image of the US emperor without a trace: Look, even in such a cruel war, humanitarian care has not been forgotten.
The more important the event, the more such heroic deeds will be excavated to divert attention, dilute pessimism and other negative emotions, and arouse the resonance of the public.Just like the 911 incident, the firefighters, policemen, etc. who sacrificed their lives to save people were spared no effort.
This gamma ray incident at the base will also report a lot of human highlights in the follow-up, for example, in order to let the comrades avoid the monster attack, they lure the monster away; shut the door.
There are only so many people in total, so much energy every day, and the things they can care about are fixed. Countless heroic deeds emerge at the same time, so everyone's sight and attention will not be focused on the gamma ray incident at the base. It's equivalent to distracting people's attention, and the pressure from the military is naturally not that great.
General Ross has a good plan, and the public opinion issue is guided by someone. What he has to do is to solve this gamma ray accident as soon as possible, to save as many people as possible, and to minimize casualties and losses. , especially this base, it would be even better if it could be preserved, after all, it was built with a huge amount of money and resources.
Therefore, after calculating the cost of the storm, General Ross decisively chose to stop the frontal storm, contact Tony Stark, and want the Avengers to go up, and Bruce Banner is also the world's top gamma ray expert, After the soldiers are rescued, follow-up observation, treatment, and the elimination of radiation at the base can all help.
No matter what, it was the right choice to let the Avengers come to this incident. As for the face, compared with the black hat, it is completely worthless, just like an island country will write a lot on its own brand in order to run for parliament The wonderful hobby is to attract people's attention.
Stark listened to General Ross's narration, but secretly let Jarvis invade, and soon located General Ross's position, quietly transmitted back the video data of the monitoring room where General Ross was located, and projected it on the big screen in the basement .
On the holographic screens, the surveillance video of the secret underground base code-named 'Swampland' is playing. Distorted monsters are walking or crawling in the corridors, and most of the rooms are empty. , all living soldiers are in those high-level security laboratories with thick iron doors.
Exposure to a high-radiation environment for nearly a week has already caused many soldiers to have extremely strong radiation reactions, nausea, vomiting and even bleeding, and these are only early symptoms, and there will be more serious symptoms in the future. The longer you stay in a radiation environment, the higher your chances of dying.
"Sir, these soldiers have already exhibited radiation symptoms, and the probability of death continues to increase." Jarvis quickly calculated the situation of these soldiers, which was abysmal, especially since these soldiers were still killed by Samuel Stern. With the Hulk serum, there is a risk of mutation, maybe it will mutate into a monster outside.
After hearing what Jarvis said, Stark frowned slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "The comprehensive strength of the Avengers is two guided missile destroyers, and an army with countless warships, fighter jets, and tanks can solve the problem." It’s a problem that can’t be solved, and the Avengers can’t do anything about it, so you’d better ask someone else to do it.”
Hearing Stark's evasion, General Ross was not angry, but smiled, sat down, and said, "I know Bruce Banner must have a lot of opinions about me, no, it's hatred, but the soldiers are Innocent people should not die in the dark underground base because of Samuel Stern's mistakes, they still have family members waiting for them to go back."
"Your great truth is really touching. Soldiers really shouldn't die because of some people's mistakes." Stark said without sincerity while drinking coffee, but he didn't answer the question at all, just didn't Say if you want to help me with this.
This is very similar to a business negotiation. It is a pity that General Ross has too few bargaining chips, not to mention that he does not have much time, so he cannot afford to delay. From the very beginning, this negotiation has been at a disadvantage.Stark was not in a hurry, but he had to be in a hurry, so he had to state his conditions in order to gain Stark's support and let the Avengers intervene as soon as possible.
The conditions were stated, but Stark still didn't mean to continue, and said in a very casual tone: "Your conditions are very attractive, but unfortunately, the Avengers are still powerless. I need time to create defensive gamma It will take a long time for the steel battle suit radiated by rays. Judging from the current situation, wait for me to build the steel battle suit haha!
As far as the Ultra fighter is concerned, whether he can defend against gamma rays is another matter. I only hope that he has forgotten the Chinatown two years ago. As for Bruce Banner, I am not him, and I cannot agree to your conditions on his behalf. You personally Go talk to him. "
Stark knew why General Ross was looking for him, didn't he just want to use these conditions to impress Stark and let Stark persuade other Avengers members to intervene in this incident?
General Ross wanted to scold people very much at this moment. He and Bruce Banner were incompatible. If it weren't for Betty's relationship, Hulk would have torn him apart. How could he survive until now.Although Bruce Banner doesn't hate him to death, it doesn't mean he will look good on him. Asking Bruce Banner to help him is no less difficult than getting a dog to change its eating habits.
Before General Ross could say anything else, Stark hung up the communication, stroked his forehead with his right hand, covered his eyes, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "Jarvis, help me plan the flight route to the appointment. "
"You need to rest!" Pepper hurriedly dissuaded, but Stark raised his hand to stop the next words, and said with his head down: "I will rest on the plane, and I have to make an appointment now, otherwise, Dr. Banner will never help, Ross was right when he said the soldiers are innocent and they have families waiting for them to go back."
"You want Dr. Banner to help?"
"Not for Ross, but for the soldiers."
Three hours later, Stark's special plane landed at Tuoyue Airport, and Happy drove Stark towards Manhattan in a luxury car. Along the way, Happy could be said to be so happy that he almost jumped up. Ever since Stark After Ke put on the steel suit, let alone driving, even flying is very difficult.
As a driver and bodyguard, he is about to become a salary thief who only takes his salary and does not work. He used to tell people that he was Tony Stark's bodyguard, and he would attract a lot of admiration, but now he is said to be Tony Stark. Ke's bodyguard, it only invites laughter.
Iron Man needs a driver and a bodyguard. It's a big joke. It hurt Happy's self-esteem so much that he wanted to resign many times. Now that Stark let him drive again, he didn't wear the steel suit. The best chance to fulfill your duties.
His excitement, even Stark, who was mentally weak, could see it, and asked very puzzled: "Happy, are you so happy to drive?"
Happy immediately talked about his troubles and troubles during this period, and Stark nodded frequently. He really forgot about Happy's embarrassing situation. With the steel suit, personal bodyguards, etc., he can almost retire , when he edited the 'Sentinel' program, Jarvis would be able to control the activities of the Iron Suit independently, without him needing to control it.
At that time, the steel suit will be the best and most competent bodyguard, and there is no need to hire another person. Happy will really have nothing to do. If this is the case, it is necessary to give him a new job. After all, he is loyal. have followed him for so many years.
After thinking for a few seconds, Stark said, "Happy, are you interested in being the security director of Stark Industries?"
"Security Director?!"
"Yeah, it's about the same as your current job content." Stark snapped his fingers, nodded his index finger to Happy, and said, "That's it. I'll talk to Pepper when I return to California, Stark The Croatian industry needs a higher level of security."
From the beginning to the end, Happy didn't intervene, Stark has already decided on his new job, Happy can only thank him, no matter what, it's better than this bodyguard who only gets a salary and doesn't work If you have a good job, you must secretly make up your mind that you must make some achievements in your new job position, so as to prove that you are a good and conscientious employee.
Happy stared at the road ahead, raised his head slightly to look at Stark in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Sir, where are we going?" He only knew that Stark was going to Manhattan, but he didn't know the detailed address , and it doesn't look like they are going to the Stark Tower that is being renovated.
Stark took out his phone, opened the text message, and read: "177A Bleecker Street!"
Twenty-one minutes later, Stark's car slowly stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated three-story building. Stark got out of the car wearing sunglasses, and looked up at the two-meter-diameter building in the middle of the outer wall of the building. The left and right hemispherical skylights have a "well"-like symbol composed of four curved lines.
Stark said softly: "Jarvis, did you see this?"
"It's on the record, sir." Jarvis's voice came from the temple.
Stark nodded and asked Happy to park the car further away. After all, this street is really not spacious, or there are not many spacious roads in the whole town. Two-lane roads are the norm, and four-lane roads are the main road. As for the spacious eight-lane road, it is really impossible to find it in science fiction movies.
Such a narrow road is difficult for a car to walk on. Naturally, it is impossible to draw a parking space on the side of the road. If you want to park, you have to go to the parking lot.So Happy drove to find the parking lot, and Stark walked over to this very unremarkable building in the middle of the city.
When he got to the door, Stark didn't push the door, but looked around with interest. He didn't find the doorbell or the door lock. There was a wall around the outermost layer, but the place where the door should have been installed turned into a smooth road. , can be said to be able to go all the way to the lobby unimpeded.
This is far from the magic temple that Stark imagined. Even if there are no twelve warriors in golden armor to fortify heavily, there should be a few magic towers or something. The result is a glass door, which is too sloppy. Well, Stark's villas are equipped with several protection measures, unless they fly over if they want to sneak attack.
At this moment, the glass door suddenly opened, revealing Mo Ye behind the door. This scene made Stark's eyes widen suddenly, full of surprise.The hall and porch could be clearly seen through the glass, and Stark had been staring at it all the time, obviously not seeing anyone, but the moment the door opened, Mo Ye suddenly appeared on the other side of the glass.
(End of this chapter)
"When Mr. Stark shut down the weapons department, many people criticized his decision, including newspapers, radio stations, and of course some talk shows. After all, current affairs news, which talk show does not comment on current affairs news?"
Dr. Banner glanced at Mo Ye, who was trying to change the topic. Obviously, he didn't want to discuss this topic. The existence of the Avengers is very embarrassing. General security incidents are managed by the police. There are a lot of departments such as anti-terrorist department, FBI, CIA, etc. Each has its own jurisdiction, which can be said to cover any accidents in the world.
Now there are radishes in every pit. The Avengers, which suddenly appeared, have no pits for it to occupy. The police will be very unhappy when they go to the streets to fight crime and gangsters; The alien army of multiple departments such as the special forces has no department to recruit, but the alien invasion has only appeared twice in 40 years, and it is not known when the next time will be.
Far away in the desert on the other side of the earth, in a warehouse in Tucheng, the filming started again. Mandarin once again put on the low-key, luxurious robe and sat on the throne covered with animal skins. like a chair.
The light was very dim, like night, and only the figure of Mandalin and the huge Ten Rings banner behind him could be seen clearly, and two gun-wielding thugs in black hoods stood beside him, standard Thugs dressed up, at first glance, they are not kind people.
The mandalin, who was trembling and timid before, turned into an arrogant and domineering boss who ignored everything in an instant when facing the camera. Said: "President Ellis, I hope you can learn something from the lessons I taught you before, but now it seems that you are completely indifferent, or unwilling to accept the fact that the warriors have awakened.
For such a result, I feel very sorry. Starting today, if the invaders do not evacuate the Mesopotamia, the attacks will not stop for a day. I will give you and your people the deepest fear, and let you live in fear all the time , until you understand that we are the masters here.
"
For a whole day, Mandarin has been recording videos in this warehouse, repeating the lines and shooting each unsatisfactory segment repeatedly, and finally finished this 2-minute video that looks like a declaration of decisive battle, and the rest The job is the job of the post-production team.
However, this does not mean that Mandarin has nothing to do. He will continue to record a new script the next day, without any time to rest. He is even busier than at Killian's film and television shooting base.The new script is not so dark, but an impassioned call to action.
Standing under the banner of the Ten Rings Gang, Mandarin loudly announced the war mobilization order to the camera: "Every warrior living in this land should fight for this land and drive out the invaders in order to Be the master here, not the slave"
In the end, Mandarin turned his head slightly with great momentum, and said his name to the camera, "I am a Mandarin, I am in the Two Rivers field, and I am waiting for fighters who are willing to fight for freedom."
Killian's ideas were completely copied by Mandarin and carried forward, but these videos are still in production and have not been released, so naturally they are not known to the world.What the world is most concerned about now is the two Hulk rampages that broke out in the Avengers within a few days, causing heavy casualties and economic losses.
Especially the appointment, at this moment, some people feel panic. After all, the Stark Tower in Manhattan has been changed to the Avengers Tower, which means that the Avengers will be stationed there in the future. Explosion of dynamite.
The housing prices in the prosperous area where the Stark Tower was originally located were very high. The Chitauri invasion caused a wave of plummeting, and it finally stabilized. Now it has begun to drop again, especially in the vicinity of the Avengers Tower, which has dropped the fastest , who is not worried that Hulk will run away.
Yesterday, I was still sympathizing with Dr. Banner and wanted to seek justice for him. Today, the wind has changed. The voices of sympathy and justice are very small. The new topic of discussion is: the violent and destructive Hulk, should he Should it be controlled?
Think about it, there is a firecracker factory next door, can you sleep peacefully?I'm afraid even making a fire to cook is frightening. It is definitely a good place to quit smoking. Those who say that they are unsuccessful in quitting smoking go to work in a firecracker factory.
In Stark's villa, Stark's bloodshot eyes stared at the holographic projection in front of him. On it was a model of a steel suit, which looked exactly like the anti-Hulk that he had discussed with Dr. Banner armor.Five days ago, Stark woke up in the basement, and his mind was full of images of the mandarin taking off the steel suit with ease and forcibly pulling the ark reactor off his chest.
Since then, Stark has been working day and night on the anti-Hulk armor that is so powerful that it has no limit. The steel suits of other departments, whether they have only an idea, or half of the design, or almost the design, have been thrown away. Yes, everything must give way in front of the anti-Hulk armor.
When Pepper walked into the basement, what he saw was Stark with sunken eye sockets and a blue face. He quickly clicked on the virtual console with both hands, and kept throwing a part of the Hulk armor into the trash. Or modify a part.
It seems that the work is very serious, but the little pepper can see it clearly. Almost all the work Stark does is repeated, modifying and replacing parts, but changing A to B, repairing B to C, and changing C to D. Finally Changing D to A, busy for half an hour, is completely useless.
Pepper watched for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Tony, take a break, you haven't closed your eyes for more than ten hours."
"No need," Stark stared at the screen and said without looking back, "I'm full of energy now, and it's a good time to work."
"Tony." Pepper stepped forward, grabbed Tony forcibly, let his hands leave the virtual console, turned his face, looked at Stark's red eyes with distress, and said: "I know you are now It’s very anxious, but any job cannot be completed in a day, you look at your work record, it’s completely repeating the previous work, take a break.”
Stark finally reacted, looking blankly at the little pepper who was close at hand, and said like a dream: "The steel suit is not strong enough, it needs to become stronger."
"I know, I know, Tony," Pepper tried to make his tone gentler, holding Stark's face, and said softly: "But you need to rest now, have a good sleep, and wake up again It’s not too late to keep working.”
"No," Stark's eyes changed, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "I must create a stronger steel suit as soon as possible, it must be stronger, otherwise, otherwise."
Stark couldn't continue talking, his eyes were sluggishly looking ahead, and several intertwined images could not help appearing in his mind: being hit by a bomb, pulling off his clothes and finding blood oozing out of the body armor, Some were tortured in various ways in caves, some worked desperately to make steel battle suits, there was a big hole in the sky above the contract, and countless alien armies poured out from inside, and some steel battle suits made ugly sounds , and then fall apart
Stark suddenly trembled all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt icy cold all over his body, and the biting coldness penetrated into every cell of him, and he seemed to be submerged in water. It was so difficult that Stark couldn't help but take a big breath.
The sound of rapid breathing reached Little Pepper's ears, and Stark looked very strange, as if he saw something terrible, trembling all over, he grabbed her hands and clenched them tightly, as if grabbing her. Like a lifesaver.
"Tony Tony" Pepper yelled loudly several times, vigorously shaking Stark who was very strange, raised his head and shouted: "Jarvis, call the rescue helicopter immediately, there is still a notice"
"I'm fine." Stark in his arms seemed to wake up from a dream. He stopped Little Pepper's next words, struggled to stand up from Xiaojiali's arms, shook his head, and subconsciously touched his chest with his right hand. After encountering the hard Ark reactor, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"How could it be okay?" Pepper looked at Stark's extremely ugly face, and continued to shout: "Jarvis, get someone from the hospital immediately, Tony, we won't go to the hospital, but we must ask the doctor to give you a good examination .”
"I said, I'm fine." Stark's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and he shouted at Little Pepper like a roar, only to realize that something was wrong, turned his head away, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm just fine, Jarvis is the best doctor in the world, there's no need for a doctor."
Pepper frowned and shouted into the air, "Jarvis, what's wrong with Tony?"
"Judging from the current situation, Mr. Stark is suffering from severe anxiety disorder. I suggest to cooperate with drug treatment." Jarvis quickly gave the illness judged based on Stark's symptoms.
"No, I'm fine, just...just" Stark rejected Jarvis's 'diagnosis' without hesitation, covered his eyes with his right hand, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, as if he was thinking of an excuse. He said, "Maybe I really need to take a break."
Hearing Stark say 'rest', Pepper was greatly relieved. Stark has always been stubborn, willful, willful and other words, which can't be more suitable to describe him.Just like in 2010, when Stark just came back from the Middle East, the first thing he did was not to go to the hospital for a physical examination, but to hold a press conference to disband Stark’s military industry department, which was thriving and making money every day.
Before making this decision, he did not disclose the news to anyone, and directly announced this earth-shattering news in front of N Multimedia, even if the board of directors of Stark Industries initiated the "expulsion" procedure because of this, people from all walks of life Qi went to the battle to persuade, but failed to make Stark take back his decision. In the end, Stark Industries completely withdrew from the military industry.
After the Battle of Miami, Stark entered into this kind of working state day and night, and the rest time began to decrease continuously. Yesterday, he only rested for two or three hours, and then he devoted himself to work, without sleep for more than ten hours in a row of.
Stark in this state is really abnormal. Even when he came back from the Middle East, he had never been like this before. Pepper, the CEO of Stark Industries, left the work at hand and flew back to persuade Stark to rest.Unexpectedly, Stark's condition was so bad that his face was so haggard that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was seriously ill.
Although Stark was stubbornly unwilling to ask for a doctor, Pepper decided in his heart to let Stark have a comprehensive examination. Even Jarvis said that Stark suffered from "anxiety disorder". The state, and the state just now, how could he not be sick?
Taking advantage of Stark's idea of 'resting', Pepper hurriedly helped Stark to the stairs, preparing to send Stark back to the bedroom with all his strength, so that he could rest for a while.But at this moment, Jarvis suddenly said: "Sir, there is a communication from General Ross, do you want to pick it up?"
"No, tell him that Tony is resting, and we can talk about it tomorrow." Before Stark could speak, Pepper flatly refused, and finally persuaded Stark to rest, not to mention General Ross, even the President wanted to In the back, nothing is as important as Stark's health.
Stark didn't say a word, and continued to walk towards the stairs, and Jarvis also rejected General Ross' call request according to Pepper's words, but the matter did not end there. Stark just opened the high-strength glass doors in the basement and stairwell, Jarvis' voice sounded again: "Sir, General Ross sent a video, maybe you need to watch it."
"Tell General Ross that Tony will watch it when he wakes up." Pepper wanted Stark to continue walking towards the stairwell, but Stark stopped, turned his head, and said, "Jarvis , play the video."
"Okay, sir!"
Jarvis received Stark's order, and a holographic projection immediately began to play a 2-minute long video from General Ross. In the brightly lit corridor, he was as cautious as if he was going deep into a tiger's den.
In the No.15 second of the video, an unexpected appearance appeared, and a "person" suddenly walked out of the room three meters in front. The reason for adding single quotation marks is because this "person" has no human appearance at all.
The exposed skin is full of green abscesses, which can definitely kill trypophobia patients. A gray-white bone spur pierces the skin and military uniform at the elbow of the right arm, while the left arm swells and breaks the clothes, and the spine is twisted into a Type S, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a human being.
And Stark focused on the military uniform on the monster, the epaulets, the dog tag on the neck and other information-containing objects, and immediately shouted at Jarvis: "Jarvis, check his identity."
Rows of photos immediately appeared on the screen next to the video. According to the objects on the monster, they were eliminated and compared. After two seconds, a qualified person was found, and the information of this person was displayed on the big screen.
In the photo of enlisting in the army, there is a very young, sunny boy, and this distorted monster in the image is completely two species. He is only 21 years old, which is the best period of his life, but he has turned into such an ugly, scary monster.
"What is this?" Pepper's voice changed. It was like a biohazard, turning a good person into such a monster.
The video was still playing. The monster turned his head to look at the special forces, revealing his face that seemed to have been run over by a truck, and then rushed towards him like a gust of wind. There were intense gunshots and screams.
This kind of noise lasted for about 45 seconds, and then calm was restored. The camera that fell on the ground captured the monster leaving with three steps and three shakes, and the blood gradually spreading on the ground. The time axis reached [-] seconds, It became a picture taken by another team of special forces, but the background was changed to a stairwell, but the plot was the same. When encountering monsters, the team was wiped out.
The third team of special forces also had the same fate. In a short 2-minute video, a total of 24 special forces of the three teams were wiped out. They all encountered various monsters in confined spaces such as corridors and stairwells, and then conducted encounters In the end, the team was wiped out.
In the narrow environment, it is impossible to use powerful weapons, even the grenade can't be thrown out, so you can only attack the monsters with the rifle in your hand, but the bullets hit these monsters, but it seems to tickle them, it has no effect. And the monsters are one by one, easily destroying the team.
The 2-minute video was watched by Stark three or four times over and over again, and the identities of the four monsters who appeared were found out, all of them were soldiers in service, and the unit numbers were all the same, but now it has become monsters, which made Stark wonder if an accident occurred in the military's super-soldier experiment, causing these monsters to run out.
Stark had no thought of resting anymore, turned around and walked back, saying as he walked, "Jarvis, contact General Ross."
"Okay, sir!"
Stark's call was connected a second later. Obviously, General Ross had been waiting for this call. Before Stark could speak, General Ross shouted in an anxious tone: "Mr. Stark, see Did I send you the video, I need Bruce Banner's help, tell me, where is he?"
Stark picked up the coffee cup on the side, drank it down, and said, "You should know better than me where Dr. Banner is. After all, I don't pay attention to him all the time." The implication is that you are better than me. They all pay attention to Dr. Banner, how could they not know where he is?
General Ross stood in a room full of screens, staring at more than 20 screens hanging on the wall in front of him, and said anxiously: "I, no, there are many people who need Dr. Banner's help, he is a gamma ray No one knows more about gamma rays than he does.”
"Uh huh!" Stark snorted twice, with a look of 'I'm not interested in asking'. He knows the negotiation skills very well. Now it's General Ross who comes to ask for help. Naturally, he wants to blackmail him, otherwise you say If you want me to help you, I will help you, why?You are my son.
Not to mention, the grievances between Dr. Banner and General Ross can be described as 'the hatred is as deep as the sea'. It is absolutely impossible to help the enemy unless Dr. Banner goes crazy or turns into the white lotus of the Virgin. He even heard that General Ross was in trouble, and maybe popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
General Ross naturally understood this, and quickly explained: "I did not give the order to attack Dr. Banner last time, but Samuel Stern. Bruce Banner must know this person. He once helped Bruce Banner Na concocted a temporary antidote.
On November 2010, 11, the abomination of the battle with the Ultra fighters in Chinatown was created by Samuel Stern with the copied Hulk serum, and he himself was affected by the battle and infected with the Hulk serum. When cleaning the scene He was found and taken to hospital for treatment.”
While speaking, General Ross sent Stark photos of Samuel Stern before and after infection, and specifically pointed out that the group of soldiers who attacked Bruce Banner last time was Samuel Stern The project I was in charge of portrayed myself as a poor person who didn't know anything and was cheated by his subordinates.
Of course, it’s up to you if you believe it or not. Obviously Stark didn’t believe it. He didn’t say Bruce Banner, but asked what happened. General Ross said that Samuel Stern is the person in charge of a certain project, so he knew that these monsters should be caused by the Hulk serum experiment. Now he wants to know what happened to make these monsters come out and kill three teams of special forces.
General Ross was very sad and ashamed to say about the tragic time that happened a week ago. Samuel Stern got the Hulk serum, and after the injection, a secondary mutation occurred, and he also activated the gamma ray machine in the base, allowing the The level of gamma-ray radiation throughout the base has risen a thousandfold.
What's even more frightening is that during the radiation monitoring of the escaped soldiers, it was found that the blood of the soldiers at the base contained more or less Hulk serum. That is to say, the scope of Samuel Stern's experiment was the personnel of the entire base. Using an unknown method, he poisoned the entire base with 'blood poison'.
In this case, I am afraid that Samuel Stern has already been planning, otherwise, how could he poison the people in the entire base, and secretly modified the gamma ray machine, making the gamma ray so strong that thousands of Less than a quarter of the large human base has escaped, and all the others have fallen into it.
As soon as the accident happened, General Ross cut off the energy supply of the base and stopped the gamma ray machine, which prevented most people from suffering too much gamma ray radiation and dying on the spot or receiving too much radiation. mutated by gamma rays.
But here lies the difficulty. If the people in the entire base are all dead or mutated, then there is nothing to consider. Just use ground-penetrating missiles to blow up the base. Impossible to survive.
Except for the soldiers who mutated and died tragically due to excessive radiation, there were still thousands of soldiers alive, but the mutated soldiers were rampant in the base, and even trained soldiers couldn't stop their frontal blows.At the beginning, under the organization of the headquarters, the surviving soldiers rushed out in batches, but when they walked out of the hiding place, they were discovered by the mutant soldiers, followed by a one-sided massacre.
Three times of rushing out in succession ended in failure. Nearly [-] surviving soldiers died at the hands of their former comrades. The headquarters no longer dared to let people leave the room protected by thick iron doors, and started a rescue operation, trying to rescue these soldiers. Come out, and bomb the base directly.
It is a pity that the rescue operations all ended in failure. This base was built with a huge amount of resources and a huge amount of money. Not only the defense is amazing, the terrain is also very complicated, and there are several layers of steel plates and reinforced concrete on the roof. The progress of the ground penetration operation was extremely slow, and the result of the frontal attack was the destruction of teams of special forces. The video sent to Stark was only part of it.
In the past five days, more than 200 special forces have died in this base. The result is that more than 200 soldiers on the upper floors have been rescued, and nearly [-] soldiers have been trapped deeper in the base. What's more serious is that The bottom floor received the most radiation. Many of these soldiers had symptoms of nuclear radiation. If they were not rescued as soon as possible and treated, after a while, there would be no need to bother with rescue operations, and the corpses would be collected directly. .
All feasible methods have been tried, and the cost is too high. You can’t take a thousand normal soldiers in order to save 1000 people who have been affected by radiation and don’t know if they can continue to serve in the future. A loss-making deal.
Therefore, in desperation, General Ross had to call for help from the Transhuman Alliance—the Avengers, hoping to get their help, especially Bruce Banner, who is a leading expert in gamma rays and was also responsible for He has passed the Super Soldier Project, and is also the body of the Hulk serum.If he can't find a solution, then the whole earth has no other way.
So General Ross had to put aside his past grudges, humbly ask Bruce Banner for help, and was prepared to be blackmailed, as long as the conditions were not particularly excessive, he would grit his teeth and agree.After all, this accident happened in his base. If thousands of people died, he would be sent to a military court for trial, let alone promoted.
For the sake of the future, this accident must have a good result, such as rescuing the surviving soldiers after untold hardships, so that it is in line with a person who loves his subordinates.
Just like the movie "Saving Private", which successfully shaped and conveyed the concern of the US imperialists for the soldiers and the people. In order not to let a mother lose all her sons, they ordered the mother's last son to leave the battlefield. The lives of six soldiers.
The movie condemns the cruel war, extols the brilliance of human nature, and promotes the positive image of the US emperor without a trace: Look, even in such a cruel war, humanitarian care has not been forgotten.
The more important the event, the more such heroic deeds will be excavated to divert attention, dilute pessimism and other negative emotions, and arouse the resonance of the public.Just like the 911 incident, the firefighters, policemen, etc. who sacrificed their lives to save people were spared no effort.
This gamma ray incident at the base will also report a lot of human highlights in the follow-up, for example, in order to let the comrades avoid the monster attack, they lure the monster away; shut the door.
There are only so many people in total, so much energy every day, and the things they can care about are fixed. Countless heroic deeds emerge at the same time, so everyone's sight and attention will not be focused on the gamma ray incident at the base. It's equivalent to distracting people's attention, and the pressure from the military is naturally not that great.
General Ross has a good plan, and the public opinion issue is guided by someone. What he has to do is to solve this gamma ray accident as soon as possible, to save as many people as possible, and to minimize casualties and losses. , especially this base, it would be even better if it could be preserved, after all, it was built with a huge amount of money and resources.
Therefore, after calculating the cost of the storm, General Ross decisively chose to stop the frontal storm, contact Tony Stark, and want the Avengers to go up, and Bruce Banner is also the world's top gamma ray expert, After the soldiers are rescued, follow-up observation, treatment, and the elimination of radiation at the base can all help.
No matter what, it was the right choice to let the Avengers come to this incident. As for the face, compared with the black hat, it is completely worthless, just like an island country will write a lot on its own brand in order to run for parliament The wonderful hobby is to attract people's attention.
Stark listened to General Ross's narration, but secretly let Jarvis invade, and soon located General Ross's position, quietly transmitted back the video data of the monitoring room where General Ross was located, and projected it on the big screen in the basement .
On the holographic screens, the surveillance video of the secret underground base code-named 'Swampland' is playing. Distorted monsters are walking or crawling in the corridors, and most of the rooms are empty. , all living soldiers are in those high-level security laboratories with thick iron doors.
Exposure to a high-radiation environment for nearly a week has already caused many soldiers to have extremely strong radiation reactions, nausea, vomiting and even bleeding, and these are only early symptoms, and there will be more serious symptoms in the future. The longer you stay in a radiation environment, the higher your chances of dying.
"Sir, these soldiers have already exhibited radiation symptoms, and the probability of death continues to increase." Jarvis quickly calculated the situation of these soldiers, which was abysmal, especially since these soldiers were still killed by Samuel Stern. With the Hulk serum, there is a risk of mutation, maybe it will mutate into a monster outside.
After hearing what Jarvis said, Stark frowned slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "The comprehensive strength of the Avengers is two guided missile destroyers, and an army with countless warships, fighter jets, and tanks can solve the problem." It’s a problem that can’t be solved, and the Avengers can’t do anything about it, so you’d better ask someone else to do it.”
Hearing Stark's evasion, General Ross was not angry, but smiled, sat down, and said, "I know Bruce Banner must have a lot of opinions about me, no, it's hatred, but the soldiers are Innocent people should not die in the dark underground base because of Samuel Stern's mistakes, they still have family members waiting for them to go back."
"Your great truth is really touching. Soldiers really shouldn't die because of some people's mistakes." Stark said without sincerity while drinking coffee, but he didn't answer the question at all, just didn't Say if you want to help me with this.
This is very similar to a business negotiation. It is a pity that General Ross has too few bargaining chips, not to mention that he does not have much time, so he cannot afford to delay. From the very beginning, this negotiation has been at a disadvantage.Stark was not in a hurry, but he had to be in a hurry, so he had to state his conditions in order to gain Stark's support and let the Avengers intervene as soon as possible.
The conditions were stated, but Stark still didn't mean to continue, and said in a very casual tone: "Your conditions are very attractive, but unfortunately, the Avengers are still powerless. I need time to create defensive gamma It will take a long time for the steel battle suit radiated by rays. Judging from the current situation, wait for me to build the steel battle suit haha!
As far as the Ultra fighter is concerned, whether he can defend against gamma rays is another matter. I only hope that he has forgotten the Chinatown two years ago. As for Bruce Banner, I am not him, and I cannot agree to your conditions on his behalf. You personally Go talk to him. "
Stark knew why General Ross was looking for him, didn't he just want to use these conditions to impress Stark and let Stark persuade other Avengers members to intervene in this incident?
General Ross wanted to scold people very much at this moment. He and Bruce Banner were incompatible. If it weren't for Betty's relationship, Hulk would have torn him apart. How could he survive until now.Although Bruce Banner doesn't hate him to death, it doesn't mean he will look good on him. Asking Bruce Banner to help him is no less difficult than getting a dog to change its eating habits.
Before General Ross could say anything else, Stark hung up the communication, stroked his forehead with his right hand, covered his eyes, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "Jarvis, help me plan the flight route to the appointment. "
"You need to rest!" Pepper hurriedly dissuaded, but Stark raised his hand to stop the next words, and said with his head down: "I will rest on the plane, and I have to make an appointment now, otherwise, Dr. Banner will never help, Ross was right when he said the soldiers are innocent and they have families waiting for them to go back."
"You want Dr. Banner to help?"
"Not for Ross, but for the soldiers."
Three hours later, Stark's special plane landed at Tuoyue Airport, and Happy drove Stark towards Manhattan in a luxury car. Along the way, Happy could be said to be so happy that he almost jumped up. Ever since Stark After Ke put on the steel suit, let alone driving, even flying is very difficult.
As a driver and bodyguard, he is about to become a salary thief who only takes his salary and does not work. He used to tell people that he was Tony Stark's bodyguard, and he would attract a lot of admiration, but now he is said to be Tony Stark. Ke's bodyguard, it only invites laughter.
Iron Man needs a driver and a bodyguard. It's a big joke. It hurt Happy's self-esteem so much that he wanted to resign many times. Now that Stark let him drive again, he didn't wear the steel suit. The best chance to fulfill your duties.
His excitement, even Stark, who was mentally weak, could see it, and asked very puzzled: "Happy, are you so happy to drive?"
Happy immediately talked about his troubles and troubles during this period, and Stark nodded frequently. He really forgot about Happy's embarrassing situation. With the steel suit, personal bodyguards, etc., he can almost retire , when he edited the 'Sentinel' program, Jarvis would be able to control the activities of the Iron Suit independently, without him needing to control it.
At that time, the steel suit will be the best and most competent bodyguard, and there is no need to hire another person. Happy will really have nothing to do. If this is the case, it is necessary to give him a new job. After all, he is loyal. have followed him for so many years.
After thinking for a few seconds, Stark said, "Happy, are you interested in being the security director of Stark Industries?"
"Security Director?!"
"Yeah, it's about the same as your current job content." Stark snapped his fingers, nodded his index finger to Happy, and said, "That's it. I'll talk to Pepper when I return to California, Stark The Croatian industry needs a higher level of security."
From the beginning to the end, Happy didn't intervene, Stark has already decided on his new job, Happy can only thank him, no matter what, it's better than this bodyguard who only gets a salary and doesn't work If you have a good job, you must secretly make up your mind that you must make some achievements in your new job position, so as to prove that you are a good and conscientious employee.
Happy stared at the road ahead, raised his head slightly to look at Stark in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Sir, where are we going?" He only knew that Stark was going to Manhattan, but he didn't know the detailed address , and it doesn't look like they are going to the Stark Tower that is being renovated.
Stark took out his phone, opened the text message, and read: "177A Bleecker Street!"
Twenty-one minutes later, Stark's car slowly stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated three-story building. Stark got out of the car wearing sunglasses, and looked up at the two-meter-diameter building in the middle of the outer wall of the building. The left and right hemispherical skylights have a "well"-like symbol composed of four curved lines.
Stark said softly: "Jarvis, did you see this?"
"It's on the record, sir." Jarvis's voice came from the temple.
Stark nodded and asked Happy to park the car further away. After all, this street is really not spacious, or there are not many spacious roads in the whole town. Two-lane roads are the norm, and four-lane roads are the main road. As for the spacious eight-lane road, it is really impossible to find it in science fiction movies.
Such a narrow road is difficult for a car to walk on. Naturally, it is impossible to draw a parking space on the side of the road. If you want to park, you have to go to the parking lot.So Happy drove to find the parking lot, and Stark walked over to this very unremarkable building in the middle of the city.
When he got to the door, Stark didn't push the door, but looked around with interest. He didn't find the doorbell or the door lock. There was a wall around the outermost layer, but the place where the door should have been installed turned into a smooth road. , can be said to be able to go all the way to the lobby unimpeded.
This is far from the magic temple that Stark imagined. Even if there are no twelve warriors in golden armor to fortify heavily, there should be a few magic towers or something. The result is a glass door, which is too sloppy. Well, Stark's villas are equipped with several protection measures, unless they fly over if they want to sneak attack.
At this moment, the glass door suddenly opened, revealing Mo Ye behind the door. This scene made Stark's eyes widen suddenly, full of surprise.The hall and porch could be clearly seen through the glass, and Stark had been staring at it all the time, obviously not seeing anyone, but the moment the door opened, Mo Ye suddenly appeared on the other side of the glass.
