Chapter 14: A Sneak Mission

“…… This mission involves a biological weapon, and the specific content ......" Natasha stood in the conference room of the Avengers Building in a black tight-fitting uniform, and said to the Avengers with a serious face.

She picked up the mission USB stick and was about to hand it to Tony.

Tony raised his hand: "No, no, please put it on the table, I don't like to take things that others give me." ”

Natasha raised an eyebrow and followed his instructions and placed the USB stick on the table.

Tony picked up the USB flash drive and plugged his head into the computer on the table.

He swiped the screen casually, and soon, many holographic projections were hanging high in the air.

Natasha stepped forward, pointed to one of the map-style images and said, "Here, Majpur, a small country in Southeast Asia, is the destination of our mission. In about ten days, in this country, an international arms fair will be held. That's something you're probably very familiar with, Stark, and you used to be a regular visitor to these kinds of fairs. ”

Tony shrugged his shoulders and smirked at her.

"Where there is light, there is darkness, and this kind of international arms exposition is not under our control for the time being."

Natasha continued, "At the moment, our problem is that in the auction within this fair, there will be a biological and chemical weapon that is very harmful to the population, and it will participate in the auction. According to the information I received, the virus transmitted by the biological weapon belongs to a newly invented super-drug-resistant bacteria. ”

"What's that?" Daniel asked curiously.

"Antimicrobials work as a therapy by killing bacteria. Bacteria, on the other hand, gain resistance to antimicrobial drugs in a variety of ways, and this resistance is called 'drug-resistant bacteria'. ”

Tony stood up from behind, reached out and enlarged one of the images, pondering as he explained, "For example, the main drug used by humans to fight bacterial infections is antibiotics. However, the virus in the picture, which is used as a biological weapon, is resistant to antibiotics, which makes it impossible for people to be cured after being infected with this virus, or the treatment effect is very poor. ”

"So, is this the plague of the Atrium?" Thor asked curiously.

"It's a terrible plague, so to speak."

Dr. Banner answered him softly, and then fell silent with a tired face.

He had just recovered from the Hulk's state not long ago, and had been in a weakened state lately, and the shapeshifting potion developed by Professor Snape was amazing, but because it was the result of the first production, many of the effects could only be tested slowly.

But despite this, being able to hold a certain amount of sobriety and refrain from actively destroying things after the transformation is enough for Dr. Banner to be grateful.

Moreover, because he saw the glimmer of hope, he had been trying to communicate with Professor Snape recently, but unfortunately the wizard's potions and the science of ordinary people were completely two systems, and it was difficult for the two of them to explain clearly based on letters alone.

So, he's been planning to go to England in person and meet the Potions Master for real.

"So can we develop an antimicrobial drug that specifically targets this drug-resistant bacteria?" Steve Rogers asked suddenly.

"As an old man, you're thinking fast, Captain!" Tony complimented in surprise: "This is indeed the right way to do it." But, time, you ignore time. Captain, the degree of bacterial resistance is generally far beyond the speed of human development, so although the method is correct, it is difficult to do. ”

"Stark, when did you even become so proficient in medicine?" Hawkeye Clint Barton exclaimed in surprise.

"Just when I was looking at the materials." Tony turned his head and replied.

He tapped his head with his finger and couldn't help but complain: "And, Barton, such a simple thing is not called mastery, this is called common sense." ”

"Obviously, there is a slight difference in cognition between your common sense and mine." Clint muttered.

"Don't be boring, Clint." Steve frowned and said, "Natasha, you go on, so, our mission is this weapon?" ”

"To be exact, to recapture or destroy. We can't let it be sold at auction, because if it falls into the hands of some terrorists and they misuse it, the consequences will be dire. Natasha said worriedly, "But the security measures for this international arms expo are very tight, and people without invitations can hardly get in." So, Stark, I might need your help this time to get some invitations out. ”

"I'll try." Tony tapped his fingers on the table, and frowned involuntarily: "However, you also know that I have long stopped being an arms dealer, and I don't know if those guys will sell me face." ”

"I still have a few bottles of Polyjuice Decoction that I can disguise as someone else." Daniel raised his hand, trying to contribute.

"You can consider it, but the person who can get the invitation to this exhibition is not a role that will be easily handled." Natasha replied, "This Stark knows best. ”

"Hah...... A high-risk group on the fringes of the law. "Arms dealers, heinous criminals, terrorists, you name it." ”

"Can't you see, you were able to mingle with these dangerous people before?" Daniel was amazed.

"I've changed now, thank you." Tony replied with a blank face.

Daniel blinked his blue eyes, "No, no, Tony, I didn't mean anything else. I just want to sigh, in the past, when there was no steel armor, you were so weak, and you could still mix in this group of people, and you didn't get killed? ”

"I'm an arms dealer! Not criminals! No need for force! Tony's big brown eyes glared at him viciously.

He said word by word: "I tell you, at that time, none of those bastards dared to offend me, otherwise, I would not have sold them a single bullet." ”

"That's enough, you two." Steve was helpless, "Don't talk about the mess, let's make a plan first." ”

"Make a plan? Is it necessary? Tony clapped his hands and said nonchalantly, "Captain, my plan is to 'go in, grab that thing or destroy it, and then we'll come out', it's as simple as that!" ”

Steve looked at Natasha speechlessly.

Natasha shrugged her shoulders with an equally powerless expression.

"Let's do it for now! I'm going to get an invitation, and now you can chat, drink Coke, watch a movie, and eat popcorn. Don't be so nervous, guys, we're Avengers! Superheroes. ”

Tony got a bag of cookies out of nowhere, tore open the package, and walked out as he ate: "See you later." ”

He ...... And he just left? Daniel asked, pointing to his departing back, incredulously.

"This guy has always done his own thing." Clint said dissatisfied.

Then, he explained: "Don't worry too much, though. Although Stark is a little more self-conscious, he is still very reliable, and we will just wait for his invitation. ”

"Leave him alone." Steve rubbed the sun with the same headache: "Right now, I don't know how many invitations Tony can get, but assuming he can get enough invitations, I, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Tony will sneak into the fair together and improvise." Thor, you're not familiar with the situation in the Atrium, Doctor, and the situation between you and Hulk isn't suitable for a stealth mission, so you two stay outside for the time being. ”

"No problem." Thor held his hammer and replied, "Yes, friend." ”

"I can get Hulk out again if I need to." Dr. Banner replied mildly.

"What about me? What about me? Daniel shouted with his hands raised.

Clint burst out laughing, "I remember, you kept emphasizing that you were a civilian. ”

"I didn't say I was going to fight!" Daniel blinked his blue eyes, "Of course you'll have to fight." But I can support ah, disguise yourself as someone else, I can prepare a compound decoction for you; To carry a weapon with me, I can shrink it in my pocket with a shrinking charm and zoom in when I use it; If the expo site is shielded with electronic devices, I can use magic to help you deliver a message...... I'm so useful, you don't take me? ”

"Are you sure you want to join?" Steve looked at Daniel seriously, "The mission is dangerous. ”

Daniel blinked his blue eyes and said frankly, "I'm also quite afraid of danger, but since I promised the bald director to come here, I still want to give it a try." Captain, you should know that even if I can't help in the end, I should be able to retreat in time and not lag behind. ”

Steve couldn't help but hesitate when he remembered his last apparition in Washington.

"Captain, let him go." Eventually, Natasha put one hand on Daniel's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Recruits always have to go to war." ”

Steve was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remember the first time he went to war.

So, he couldn't help but smile: "You're right, Natasha. ”

Then, he turned his head and earnestly instructed Daniel, "Daniel, be sure to stay safe. ”

"Alright, now it's up to the tin can to get how many invitations he can get." Clint leaned back in his chair and casually guessed, "But, I guess there are at least two, and, according to common sense, it would be possible to bring a companion in this case, which means that there are four of us to go in." ”

In fact, Clint Barton's guess was quite accurate.

Tony really only got two invitations, one for himself and one for Justin Hammer.

"I remember Hammer and you are rivals?" Natasha asked in surprise.

"yes, so I knocked him out and locked him up first. Go back and send two agents to keep watch. When this side is finished, let him out. ”

Tony said in a nonchalant tone, "That guy came out of prison two days ago, and he was hanging in front of me again, and I was looking at him unpleasantly." ”
