Joining Marvel with the Holy Lord System

Chapter 129 Official attitude

On the first floor of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, all the scientists had fallen asleep. The intensive research work had stopped long ago. Everyone was lying quietly on the ground, as if they would never get up again.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is a total of twenty-five stories high. Tony and Rhodes chose the stairs to be on the safe side, and it didn't take long for them to reach the top floor.

After climbing twenty-five stairs in a row, Rhodes was still out of breath even though he had not missed physical training every day. After wiping the sweat on his forehead, Rhodes winked at Tony, then pointed forward and said:

"You clear the way first, and I will follow you."

Because he was wearing armor, Tony couldn't roll his eyes back, so he chose to express his dissatisfaction with a middle finger, and then walked ahead obediently.

The Prodigal Son armor is loaded with a lot of detection equipment, and the hard metal shell can protect against bullets, so Tony is the most suitable person to open the way.

The two of them moved forward cautiously, but they didn't see anyone trying to stop them along the way. The entire floor was a little too quiet.

But as Tony and the two walked slowly, they suddenly noticed that a woman's voice seemed to be heard in the distance, but it was not very clear and a little blurry.

After discovering the voice, Tony and Rhodes nodded to each other, and then slowly moved towards the voice, and the voice became louder and louder.

Looking at the door in front of him and the extremely eye-catching "Director's Office Logo", Tony no longer hesitated, kicked open the door, and then immediately pointed the arc pulse cannon in his palm at the person in front of him, that is, the Minister of Defense. , William Elliot.

This is a white man with a head of white hair neatly combed and the same clothes. Although the Minister of Defense is over sixty years old this year, he still looks energetic.

But those old wrinkles and the drooping upper eyelids on the outside of his eyes proved to everyone that he was indeed very old.

At this time, William Elliot was wiping the rimless glasses in his hands with a glasses cloth. There was a TV set in front of him, and the voice just now came from this TV set.

Seeing William Elliot watching the TV with great concentration, and the woman's voice sounded vaguely familiar, Tony also turned his head and looked over.

"...The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond is a temporary medical point for patients after they are evacuated. According to the latest news, the red zone is spreading outward at a speed of three kilometers per hour. It is expected that the place will also be completely covered by red fog in two hours. cover."

"So far, no organization has come forward to explain the cause of the red mist, and the relevant drugs to cure the red mist disease have not yet been discovered. More than 1700 people have died due to the red mist, but we still have no way to solve it."

"The superhero Avengers took over the investigation of Red Mist an hour ago. During the investigation, Captain America Steve Rogers was unfortunately infected with Red Mist and was sent out by other heroes. Although his life is not in danger for the time being, we are still worried. His safety."

"Not long ago, the Guardian entered the Red Mist again. I hope he can bring us good news. This is the WHIH news frontline. I am Kristen Everhart. Next, let us pay attention to the British news that has begun. The Ceid Meteor Shower…”

Before the reporter could finish speaking, William Elliot turned off the TV. After turning his body towards Tony and Rhodes, William Elliot said:

"Lo and behold, the media has decided that the Avengers should be the ones to 'handle' the disease. The public's trust in us will continue to erode, and the panic will only grow."

"The whole world has seen that Captain America was unfortunately infected while trying to solve the Red Mist problem. The Guardians have been running around trying to solve the Red Mist problem. Even the Hulk, who they fear the most, is also seriously studying the Red Mist virus at this time. Special medicine.”

Having said this, William Elliot put on his glasses gently, then looked at Tony and Tony with burning eyes, and continued:

"They are moved by superheroes, but they turn a blind eye to what the officials are doing. I want to ask you two a question. If the United States continues to develop in this direction, will it be the White House or the Avengers who ultimately give the orders?"

As the superhero with the closest ties to the officialdom, Rhodes took two steps forward and said:

"You underestimate the Avengers too much. At this moment, they are dealing with crises, preventing disasters, and saving lives, rather than competing with the White House for the right to speak in public like you said."

After hearing Rhodes' explanation, William Elliot sneered and replied:

"Colonel Rhodes, if Mr. Stark said this, I would think it is very reasonable, but when you say it, I find it very ridiculous. I really didn't expect that a red mist would make you forget the most important thing. Two words.”

"politics."

Hearing this, Rhodes' face suddenly turned a little gloomy. After all, the official attitude had been clearly demonstrated in the Mandarin incident.

Facing a terrorist who had launched multiple attacks, the authorities called on all superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. to help. In order to prevent Steve from taking action, Fury was even asked to find Agent Carter, who could only lie in bed, as a lobbyist. .

But no one expected that Mandarin was actually controlled by an entrepreneur, and this entrepreneur actually wanted to kidnap Tony's girlfriend. The angry Tony took action resolutely, and the result was that it was destroyed in just one night and the official had a headache for a long time. of terrorists.

As soon as this result came out, the Internet naturally praised superheroes overwhelmingly and criticized the official incompetence. Therefore, the official attitude towards superheroes naturally deteriorated again.

But Rhodes never thought that the official would hate superheroes so much.

"Okay Mr. Elliott, we don't have time to talk to you. If you want to say something, just leave it to the jury."

After saying that, Tony, who had no patience, went directly to arrest Elliot.

Tony had already said hello to Fury when he went upstairs. SHIELD's latest sodium thiopental derivative biologic truth serum was on the way, so there was no need for Tony to talk so much with William Elliot.

"You are too impatient Mr. Stark, let's talk for a while longer."

After William Elliot finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and reached under the table. Tony, who had already put down his hands, saw something was wrong and hurriedly tried to stop him, but he was still a step too late.

William Elliot pressed a button under the table before Tony could control himself. After he pressed the button, Tony's suit suddenly lost all power.

Due to the malfunction of the suit, Tony also lost his balance at this time and fell to the ground suddenly.

Rhodes, whose vision was blocked by Tony and did not see William Elliot's actions, just realized something was wrong and hurriedly raised his gun.

But before Rhodes could point his gun forward, William Elliot, who had pressed the button, had already pulled out a pistol from under the table and shot him twice in the leg before Rhodes could.

"Wait a moment, gentlemen, we still have time."
