Marvel Magic Event Book

Silence occupied most of the time. Computers and small construction machinery were brought in. All personnel had to wear chemical protective suits and undergo several disinfections before entering or exiting the research site. Even the equipment had to be covered with a layer of plastic film. .Coulson and Salomon stood behind the glass of the temporary command post and watched the busy crowd below, always checking the data fed back by the staff.Agent Coulson discovered that these procedures were actually standard procedures for dealing with biological and chemical threats, but with the high technology of the Eternal City, these procedures were a little more complicated.Hunter swallowed, and he felt that he was in the wrong place - neither he nor Barbara had protective clothing on them. If the boulder was really a biological threat, then anyone who might have been in direct contact with the boulder might be infected.He gestured upward, signaling Agent Coulson to prepare for the worst.

"What are the symptoms of infection?" Colson asked.

"It will be eaten, eaten from the inside out, and the infected person will suffer great pain." Salomon said, "Every time the boulder is opened, it will increase the risk of infection, which is why we need to be prepared for protection. As for the worse case scenario, that is that the source of infection has actually come to the base but we don’t know anything about it.”

"You should have told me this earlier, Salomon! May, prepare to seal the base!"

"If the source of infection can escape so easily... don't be nervous, we can deal with it even if the source of infection escapes." The Mystic Mage did not continue.If the hive really escaped, then the conservative Hydra wouldn't have to find ways to perform sacrificial rituals.The reason why this huge stone fell into the hands of SHIELD was because Alexander Pierce promised the conservatives to use SHIELD's manpower and material resources to study this thing and find a way to pull the Hydra God out of it.However, before he could fulfill his promise, SHIELD and Hydra were destroyed together, leaving only the remnants unable to do much.

He put his helmet back on and closed his expression.

"The bomb is ready, my lord." Tita's voice sounded on the communication channel.

This work lasted four full days.

On the fourth day, Leopold Fitz, the current scientific director of SHIELD, belatedly appeared at the research site. "It's precisely because you always pursue things that don't exist that I locked up that broken rock to prevent anyone from getting in." Before Fitz could express his thoughts, the kind-hearted Mike began to teach him a lesson. asked him, "I like that you don't give up hope, but you are a scientist..."

"Sorry, sorry, Mike." Fitz tried to squeeze past Mike with a disgraced look, looking like a kitten picked up by a female cat. "I have clues, I have clues... who are they?" He pointed at the researchers passing by in the corridor wearing chemical protective suits, "Why is Lincoln here? Did something happen in the base?"

"Lincoln came over to help study the stone. Fitz, this is not the first time. You are a scientist, not a folklorist." Mike sighed, "Besides, you came back at a bad time. The base is currently investigating the infection. sick."

"Could it be..."

"Yes, it still has something to do with that stone. Coulson ordered the base to be sealed off. You don't know that in order to let you in, Melinda and Coulson had another fight. Their relationship has not been very harmonious recently." Mike touched He stroked his beard and said, "We have some reinforcements, but I don't know the leader very well, but Coulson seems to be an old friend with him."

"What does he look like? Or rather, how tall is he?" Fitz felt his heart skip a beat.He had thought about contacting that person, but since magic was as unreliable as the leads he was following, he had left that option to last. "I can't waste any more time, Mike," he said. "I have to tell them the clue I got!"

"I considered every possibility!" Fitz burst into the command room before he could take off his dirty suit.

"Except being trapped in a boulder, or being reduced to a microscopic level..."

"Colson! Coulson! I think I'm right this time!" Fitz yelled, "She's not here! I speculate that the boulder is a black hole!"

"Do you have evidence?" Coulson stopped Fitz from jumping in front of the mystic.For four days of work, he watched the armor-clad figure become increasingly colder and colder.He didn't scratch, didn't sleep, didn't eat, he was like a steel statue standing in the command room.While the others were exhausted, he found Salomon motionless as scientists below examined the boulder.If it weren't for the slight ticking sound coming from the comm system, Coulson doubted he would even need to breathe.

Coulson has seen this extreme state of calmness, which often happens to some extremely cold-blooded agents.Salomon felt quite dangerous to him at this moment.

that's the truth.

Salomon did not tell Agent Coulson that the reason why he kept the sky carrier on standby at high altitude was not for the convenience of returning.The USS Punishment sky carrier has been loaded with an earth-penetrating nuclear bomb equipped with a large-yield nuclear warhead. If things develop to the worst, Tita, who remains on standby on the sky aircraft carrier, will not hesitate to drop the nuclear bomb and destroy the existence of the hive. Erase completely.Those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Immortal City armed personnel, and scientists who were too late to evacuate and were infected will be regarded as necessary sacrifices, and even Salomon himself will be baptized by nuclear bombs.

Tita believes that her monarch will not be killed in a nuclear explosion, and she is confident about this.So when Salomon gave this order, she readily agreed, and the speed of her response even surprised Salomon.After repeatedly confirming that Tita did not have any dangerous tendencies, he asked Stephanie to arrange the mobilization of supplies and install the remaining ground-penetrating bombs that were going to bomb Pym Technology on the assault transport craft.

"No, but I..." Fitz was speechless.He proposed many theories, but all lacked evidence to support them. "Then why..."

"We now suspect that there are ancient germs in the boulder, so..." When these words were spoken, Agent Coulson couldn't help but pause.He couldn't recall why he invited Salomon to help. It seemed that his mind went blank before the video call.He couldn't help but turn his attention to Salomon, wanting the mystic to give an explanation.

At this moment, the dark steel statue raised its head. "You have speculated to this point without any evidence that your brain is extremely important for human development, Leopold Fitz." Salomon's voice was processed by the loudspeaker to bring out some unpleasantness. Naturally, "Gemma Simmons is indeed alive, I swear on my real name."

This sentence was nothing less than a surprise Christmas gift to Fitz.

"But that's just for now," Salomon said. "If we don't solve the problem soon, she won't live much longer."

"What do you know?" Agent Coulson let go of Fitz. He needed to think about what was wrong with his memory.Facing Fitz's inquiry, the bright red eyepiece on the knight's helmet did not look at him.

"This boulder is not the only one. It is not a creation of humans, let alone a creation of the Inhumans." Salomon's tone was calm, "The things inside this stone need to be destroyed by us."

"What about Gemma?" Fitz grabbed Salomon's arm armor nervously, so hard that the gorgeous gold-plated decoration on the arm armor cut his fingers.He felt the energy lines under the steel armor beating gently like blood vessels, as if the armor was a living steel creature.This monster needs blood, needs killing, this is the only thought in his mind besides dealing with Gemma.

"We can only do our best." Finally, the pair of blood-red eyepieces looked down at him.Fitz struggled to stand, trying not to let his knees sink to the ground. "If she gets infected, we can only enforce standard protocols."

"What... standard regulations?" Fitz asked in a trembling voice.

"destroy."

Other than that, nothing else.
