Chapter 65: Not very safe
"Whether this is Midgard or not, we need to go to that mountain range and investigate." Steve's words interrupted everyone's thoughts.
After a brief discussion, it was decided to put the issue on hold for the time being, and the star map collected by Natasha would be handed over to Tony for analysis after they returned, so that they would be able to find out how this strange space was connected to the outside world.
The four of them continued in the direction of the mountain range, and soon came to the bottom of the mountain.
"Tony, we've reached the bottom of the mountain and we're ready to go up the mountain to investigate, how are you doing there." Steve communicates with Tony via a wireless headset.
Although their contact with the outside world has been cut off, the wireless headset can be used normally in this space, just in case of accidents. Tony also boosted the headset's signal.
"It's not going to be good, and we suspect someone has to activate that mechanism to trigger the spatial fluctuations." Tony's armor detached a projector, which allowed Dr. Banner to assist Tony in his calculations.
"Okay, then you guys continue to look for a way, and we're going up the mountain." Steve wasn't surprised by this result, although he didn't know much about spatial physics, but before they came in, they all opened the mechanism, and they must have needed it after they entered.
At the end of the communication, Steve looked at the mountain in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little worried about those scientists, so far, they didn't know what this mysterious space was, maybe it was really the ruins of an ancient civilization?
[It's better not to have anything to do with aliens] Steve silently thought that in his opinion, anything that has anything to do with aliens will basically not end well.
The four of them braved the wind and snow to climb the mountain, and for some reason, the wind and snow here seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, but fortunately it did not reach the level that affected the actions of the four people.
After climbing the mountain for an hour, Barton, who had excellent eyesight, immediately reported to the crowd what he had discovered: "There seems to be a cave over there. ”
Looking in the direction of Barton's finger, the rest of the figures saw a gray and black shadow, but they all knew Barton's abilities, so they all changed direction and headed for the cave.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the four of them found that there was a person lying at the entrance of the cave, and they hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.
Natasha immediately confirmed the basic situation, and said with a solemn face: "He has been dead for a long time, and the cause of death is most likely due to excessive blood loss." ”
Natasha moved the corpse, pointed to the pool of congealed blood beneath the corpse, and then began to examine the wounds on the corpse.
The other three people didn't look very good, because the presence of a corpse meant that the rest of the scientists should also be unlucky, which also showed that this mysterious space was not as calm as it seemed.
"He was impaled in the abdomen by an unknown object, and he struggled all the way to escape here." Natasha briefly analyzed the wound, then looked at the blood trail behind the corpse, and came to this conclusion.
"I remember the scientists were all with cameras, so we could see what was going on." Barton was ready to shoot with his bow and arrows, and it had now proved that the place was not safe, and as an archer, he needed to be prepared in advance.
Natasha took off the broken camera, looked at the rest of the people, and said, "This scientist's camera happened to be broken, but Stark may have a way to fix it, and the question now is whether we need to find other scientists, which could be dangerous." ”
Steve firmly removed his shield: "We can't give up on any possible survivors, as for the danger, we were prepared before we arrived, didn't we?" ”
"That's right, Captain." Natasha put away the broken camera and pulled out her pistol to be on guard: "What about this person's body?" ”
"I can freeze him so he doesn't get hurt again." Qu Yizhi raised his hand to condense the debut ice crystal: "Come and take him away when we leave." ”
Steve looked at his surroundings, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Qu." Natasha took a few steps back and put the body back on the ground.
Qu Yizhi smiled slightly, and the white ice and snow covered the poor scientist who fell to the ground, and then quickly turned into an ice crystal coffin, which was placed upright by Qu Yizhi on the side of the cave.
Seeing this ice crystal coffin full of immediacy, the other three blinked, "Dear Qu, how strong is this coffin of yours?" Natasha stepped forward and tapped her fingers on the ice crystal coffin.
Qu Yizhi thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well, it should be quite strong, at least ordinary firearms can't penetrate it, I did it in Mr. Stark's training room." ”
After speaking, Qu Yizhi condensed a piece of ice crystal again and handed it to Natasha: "Maybe you want to give it a try?" ”
Natasha smiled and nodded, and then quickly fired several shots at the ice crystal, as a special gun created by S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha only held two small pistols in her hand, but it could easily penetrate the armor of the Kitari.
And now, this strengthened special gun did not easily penetrate the ice crystals condensed by Qu Yizhi, and the bullet was firmly stuck on it, Natasha raised her eyebrows, looking very happy.
"Very well, dear Qu, we have another strong shield." Natasha smiled and patted Qu Yizhi's shoulder, she was happy about this result, after all, Captain America's shield could only block a small range, and Qu Yizhi's ice crystals could condense into a large area, enough to withstand the enemy's artillery fire.
Natasha quietly breathed a sigh of relief at this result, after all, the crystal coffin that Qu Yizhi had used before was really sturdy, and although this second-class ice crystal was also very strong at this time, it was not to the extent that it was necessary to use Captain America's shield to break it.
If Qu Yizhi could easily condense ice crystals that were not inferior to the Zhenjin Shield, then it would mean that there were almost no existences on Midgard that could threaten the other party, and in this way, the threat level of the magic sword that severely damaged Qu Yizhi would be immeasurable.
Qu Yizhi didn't know that in a short period of time, many thoughts popped up in Natasha's mind, she just smiled and didn't object to Natasha's teasing.
While the two were testing the level of ice crystals, Steve contacted Tony again: "Tony, we found a victim in a cave, Natasha analyzed that he was injured by an unknown weapon, and you need to be vigilant over there." ”
"The dead? Is his footage still there? Tony stopped what he was doing, and found that the news of a victim made him a little uneasy, so he hurriedly asked.
"His video equipment has been destroyed, Natasha has the wreckage, and we plan to go into the cave to find out, but there is no guarantee that the dangerous thing is still in the cave." Steve said truthfully.
"That's good, I'll fix the footage when we get back, I've found some anomalies here, and I believe it won't be long before we can go back the way we came." Tony's tone was also a little serious, in order to prevent more people from entering this space, he ordered S.H.I.E.L.D. and Jarvis before he came in, and never let people enter that underground room.
So Jarvis should have used the robot to touch the switch directly, and although it didn't succeed in opening the channel, it also allowed Tony to catch a trace of volatility, which was the key to their return.
