Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital.

Natasha stood outside the ward, looking through the glass at the busy ward.

In the ward, Fury was lying on the bed, surrounded by more than a dozen medical staff and various top-notch medical equipment, but his vital signs on the monitor screen were still declining.

"He's tachycardia now..." "The equipment cart is here!" "Nurse, get the sheets!" "The blood pressure is dropping, give me the defibrillator!"

The voices of medical staff could be heard faintly through the glass.

"The doctor said his condition is very critical." Hill came over, holding a black briefcase.

"The bullet seems to have hit his important organs. I have never seen someone with such an injury be saved..." Natasha frowned slightly, "Except for the street hero's uncle."

Peter's identity is not a secret among the top management of SHIELD. They even sent people to protect Peter's uncle and aunt when Dr. Lizard escaped some time ago.

Accordingly, SHIELD had naturally discovered that the old man Lu Mingfei once saved while reading the Bible on the street was Peter's uncle.

That's why Natasha contacted Lu Mingfei immediately.

Hill glanced at Natasha and secretly said "Sorry" in her heart.

She lied to Natasha - to be precise, Fury asked her to lie to Natasha. Although he was attacked and suffered serious injuries, Fury also underwent super soldier transformation and his injuries were not fatal.

But now the situation within SHIELD is very bad. Fury just went to find the scepter left by the aliens, and was suddenly attacked on the way back - which proved that the enemy was not only lurking in SHIELD. SHIELD, and the depth of penetration into SHIELD exceeded their expectations.

Even now, she and Fury were not sure whether Natasha was on their side, so she didn't plan to tell Natasha even about Fury's plan to fake his death and go underground.

After all, the plan of faking one's own death is already risky enough. If one more person knows about it, it will be even more dangerous. Hill emotionally trusts Natasha, but she can't take the risk.

You know, in order to hide the truth as much as possible, Fury didn't even use the stand-in he had prepared for himself in advance. The person lying on the bed was his real body who had been injected with a fake death potion in advance, so as not to be noticed by the enemies within SHIELD. .

So Hill could only say "sorry" to Natasha in her heart.

On the list of people Fury gave her that she could trust, there were only two names - "Carol Danvers", and "Steve Rogers", Captain Marvel and Captain America.

As two hurried footsteps approached, Natasha and Hill turned their heads and saw that Lu Mingfei and Steve were walking over in a hurry.

"Where's Fury? He's still hot, right?" Lu Mingfei walked over quickly and asked.

Natasha:…

"Hello, Mr. Lu Mingfei, may I ask you..." Hill was a little surprised and didn't know why Lu Mingfei came.

"I contacted Lu Mingfei. The situation was urgent. I didn't have time to explain it just now," Natasha said.

Hill nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although Lu Mingfei and Natasha were not placed on the list of absolute trust, their level of suspicion was at the lowest level. Hill would not doubt them unless necessary.

"Lu Mingfei, is there any way you can save the director?" Natasha asked anxiously.

She directly ignored Steve next to her. Although Captain America was tough, he knew that he had no ability to cure diseases and save people. But to Natasha's surprise, Lu Mingfei also shook his head: "I'm doing this." I'm in physics, not medicine, so what can I do if the doctors can't do anything?"

"Aren't you the uncle who saved Peter? Can't you do it again?" Natasha asked, "Don't worry, as long as you save the director, SHIELD will agree to any conditions."

Hill's heart tightened - Fury's plan was to fake his death and turn from light to dark, but he was not resurrected by someone's magic. If he was rescued and still stayed in the light, the attacks would probably continue one after another, and he would be unlucky next time. Maybe he is really dead.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei's answer made her relieved.

"That is a special situation and cannot be copied. You can treat it as a one-time skill," Lu Mingfei said. "As far as medical ability is concerned, I only know a little common sense. At most, I can understand what is displayed on the screen. "

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei looked over and blinked: "Uh... he seems like he can't hold it any longer."

Scratching his head, Lu Mingfei was also quite surprised - in his eyes, Fury was an old fox who could trade tricks with Tony on the undercover. Why was he lying on the hospital bed after not seeing each other for a few days, and he looked like he was almost boxed up? Yes, this is too hasty.

This is like when Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were fighting against each other. After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhuge Liang suddenly received a battle report saying that Sima Yi had choked to death.

"There is really no way to save the director?" Natasha asked unwillingly, "Didn't you perform surgery on Tony to remove the shrapnel?"

"The surgery was performed by Dr. Strange. I just used my superpower to immobilize the shrapnel," Lu Mingfei said.

"What about Doctor Strange? Can we find him?" Hill asked.

Of course she didn't want Fury to be "resurrected". She injected him with the fake death drug herself under Fury's order, but if she didn't say anything in this situation, it would make her look suspicious.

"Unfortunately, Dr. Strange is actually a neurosurgeon, and he was in a car accident and his hands were seriously injured. He can no longer perform surgery." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Natasha and Hill fell silent at the same time.

Steve stepped forward: "Did you find out anything about Fury's attack?"

"Yes," Hill stared at Steve, "Please come with me."

"Why?" Steve was confused.

"This is the director's last order before entering the operating room." Hill said.

Steve and Lu Mingfei exchanged glances and nodded: "Okay."

After watching Steve and Hill leave, Lu Mingfei looked around - the little devil did not appear.

It seems that the little devil is not planning to send free customer gift packs this time. How stingy. Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.

Although the relationship is not close or good, he really doesn't want Fury to die just like that. Not to mention that we are already allies after all, but from a personal point of view, Fury still owes him I didn't give him a scepter and let him die like this. What if SHIELD defaults on its debt?

However, unless necessary, he really didn't want to take the initiative to summon the little devil to contact him, so after hesitating, he looked at Natasha and proposed a compromise: "Natasha, although I can't cure Director Fury ,but……"

"But what?" Natasha asked.

"But I have a way to prevent him from dying." Lu Mingfei explained.

"What do you mean?" Natasha was a little confused.

Lu Mingfei explained: "I can freeze him before he dies, and instantly reduce it to an ultra-low temperature below 200 degrees. I can stop all his life activities. When a good solution is available, I can thaw him and cure him." . This method should not be difficult to find. For example, Professor Lizard's potion. Although it still seems to have the side effects of animal transformation and the birth of a second personality after Tony's transformation, Tony did not seriously transform it in the first place. If he was willing to spend more energy, , it shouldn’t take too long to create a medicine without side effects..."

"When the time comes, defrost the director and inject him with medicine, and he will be saved!" Natasha suddenly realized.

"Yeah, but we have to freeze him before he dies completely," Lu Mingfei said. "If he is really dead, then I can't think of anything else that can save him. I guess I'll have to find a priest who can revive him." Come."

Natasha turned to look at the heart rhythm monitor in the glass wall. Fury's heart rate was already in critical condition, and each fluctuation was weaker than the last.

Natasha gritted her teeth and looked decisively at Lu Mingfei: "Freeze the director!"

"Uh... have you decided now? Do you want to seek other people's opinions?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's too late! The director can be cremated after asking for opinions!" Natasha waved her hand, "Frozen him, I will bear all the responsibilities. I believe the director will understand us when he wakes up."

"If you say so, okay." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"I'll clear the way for you, come with me!" Natasha made the decision, bursting with pride, strode to the door of the operating room, kicked open the locked door, and rushed in first.

"Hey! What are you doing here? Non-medical staff are not allowed to enter here! Have you disinfected it? You will cause infection in patients!"

Natasha pushed the door open and walked in. A doctor rushed to stop her, but Natasha pushed it away casually: "Sorry, we are in a hurry! Lu Mingfei, follow me!"

Leading Lu Mingfei all the way to Fury's bed, Natasha looked around. The aura of a top agent made the doctors and nurses speechless - of course, it might also be because she had a pistol hanging on her waist.

"Huh? Did Fury's eyes open for a moment?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at Fury lying on the operating table.

Natasha also looked over, and sure enough, Fury's eyes actually opened a small slit, seemingly stimulated by the sound just now, but she was not sure whether he was conscious or not.

"Director? Are you still conscious?" Natasha asked.

Fury squinted his eyes, his eyes lifeless, and did not respond.

"Don't worry, Director, Lu Mingfei will freeze you. You won't die. We will thaw you when we find a way to save you." Natasha comforted her.

Fury's narrowed eyes widened slightly.

"The director agreed," Natasha turned to look at Lu Mingfei, "Please."

Lu Mingfei nodded. The cold air in his palms continued to emerge and compress, and finally turned into a layer of fuzzy white fluorescence. Although there was no cold air leaking, it made people feel freezing cold at a glance, as if the soul was pulled into a iceberg.

Fury half-opened his eyes and stared at Lu Mingfei. Perhaps because of the anesthesia, his eyes were a little confused, as if he wanted to convey something, but it seemed that the anesthesia was not strong enough and he woke up halfway through the operation.

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether Fury was conscious now, but he still comforted him thoughtfully: "Don't worry, it won't hurt. You'll be fine in an instant."

Fury seemed to open his mouth, but couldn't say anything. The next second, Lu Mingfei's palm glowing with rich white light made a stroke above his body. Fury only felt a slight chill, and then he completely lost it. consciousness.

Seeing Fury frozen into a thick iceman on the operating table, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Mingfei: "Is this okay?"

"Well," Lu Mingfei nodded, tapping the ice shell on Fury's body with his finger, "These ice cubes are specially made by me after compressing the cold air. They will not melt at room temperature for at least three months. I just suggest You soak it in liquid helium so it can stay fresh."

"Can you change the word? This is our director, not the frozen meat in the supermarket specials counter," Natasha complained, "But no matter what, the director should be fine now."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the trembling medical staff around him: "But Natasha, won't you be punished for doing this?"

"It's okay," Natasha shook her head, "This is also to save the director. The director is a reasonable person. When he recovers, not only will he not blame me, but he will also thank us."

Lu Mingfei nodded noncommittally.

He wasn't interested in thanking him. It would be nice if he would give some substantial thanks when the time came.

While the two of them were talking, Steve and Hill walked side by side in the corridor outside the operating room.

From a distance, Hill saw a messy operating room through the glass.

And the lifelike Iceman Fury in the operating room.

"Director!" Hill's eyes widened. He didn't care about Steve beside him. He ran into the operating room and looked at Natasha and Lu Mingfei with wide eyes: "What did you do!"

"Oh, I froze Fury so that he won't die. When other treatments are available, I will thaw him and he will be a good man again," Lu Mingfei said modestly, "No need to thank me. This is what I should do."

Hill's eyes only felt dark.

…

A moment later, under the leadership of Hill, Lu Mingfei, Natasha and Steve walked into the same room. The room seemed to be converted from an office in the hospital, and the windows were all covered with opaque black curtains. .

"What, Fury faked his death?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

"Yes," Hill nodded, "The director injected a suspended animation drug in advance. Dr. Banner once extracted a substance called tetrodotoxin B, which can reduce a person's heartbeat to one beat per minute. He wanted to use this to Relaxing yourself, unfortunately, it had no effect. Later, we bought this invention from him and transformed it into a suspended animation potion that can make people pretend to be dead for twenty-four hours."

"So why did Fury do this?" Lu Mingfei was confused.

"Because S.H.I.E.L.D. has been seriously eroded, even the director will be assassinated, so we have to turn to underground operations. After the director fakes his death, he will become a dead person with no threat in the eyes of others, but it will be more convenient to secretly Commanding the operation," Hill explained, "Of course, it is true that he was injured. To be precise, he came up with this plan after being injured in the assassination."

"Let me just say that this old fox is very shady." Lu Mingfei complained.

"But this old fox has now turned into a frozen fox." Hill looked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked innocent.

Natasha covered her face in the corner.

"Can you defrost him?" Hill asked helplessly.

"Thawing will cause secondary damage to the body. It is true that he just faked his death before, but if he thaws rashly, it will be hard to say." Lu Mingfei said.

"But we have to do something, right?" Natasha said in the corner.

"The director gave me a memory before entering the operating room, which contained important information. He asked me to hand it over to Steve. I just left him alone to do this, but I didn't expect...the plan could not keep up with the change. ." Hill's cheeks twitched.

Steve took out a memory device that looked like a USB flash drive but was different: "This is it. We need a computer to know what's in it."

"There shouldn't be a shortage of computers in the hospital, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "Just find one and plug it in and give it a try."

Natasha shook her head and said: "SHIELD has been infiltrated. This is SHIELD's hospital. It's too risky to do this. Let's leave first and find a computer outside to avoid attracting the enemy's attention and suspicion."

"Suspicion? Don't you think that after we made such a big fuss just now, the people who infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have any suspicion at all?" Lu Mingfei complained, "Maybe half of the doctors who performed surgery on Fury are enemies. .”

"No way..." Natasha couldn't imagine SHIELD being penetrated so badly.

However, before she finished speaking, Lu Mingfei flashed and suddenly appeared in front of her, covered in scales. At the same time, a window of glass suddenly shattered and the curtain was torn.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of Natasha and stretched out an arm.

Under the puzzled gazes of others, Lu Mingfei slowly opened his palm, a faint white smoke rose from the scales on his palm, and a deformed sniper rifle bullet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
