Chapter 392: Rose's Plea for Help
"No, I'm fine, it's just... It's just..."Stark vetoed Jarvis's 'diagnosis' without hesitation, covered his eyes with his right hand, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, as if thinking of an excuse, before he spoke: "Maybe I really need to take a break." ”
Pepper breathed a sigh of relief when Stark said 'rest', Stark has always been stubborn, obstinate, willful, and other words, which could not be more appropriate to describe him. Just like in 2010, Stark, who had just returned from the Middle East, the first thing he did was not to go to the hospital for a physical examination, but to hold a press conference to dissolve the Stark military industry department, which was in full swing and making money every day.
Before making this decision, he didn't leak the news to anyone, and announced this earth-shattering news in front of N Multimedia, even if the Stark Industries board of directors initiated the 'expulsion' process because of this, and all walks of life went into battle to persuade him, Stark Industries could not be able to retract the decision, and finally Stark Industries completely withdrew from the military industry.
After the battle of Miami, Stark entered this state of working day and night, and the rest time began to be constantly reduced, and he only rested for two or three hours yesterday, and then put himself into work, and he did not sleep for more than ten hours in a row.
Stark in this state is really abnormal, even when he came back from the Middle East, he has never been like this, so Pepper, the CEO of Stark Industries, left his job and flew back to persuade Stark to rest. Unexpectedly, Stark's state was so bad that his face was haggard, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a serious patient.
Although Stark stubbornly refused to ask for a doctor, Pepper decided in his heart to let Stark do a comprehensive examination, and even Jarvis said that Stark was suffering from 'anxiety disorder', plus this weak state, and just like that, how could he not be sick?
Taking advantage of Stark's idea of 'resting', Pepper hurriedly helped Stark to walk up the stairs, ready to send Stark back to the bedroom in one go, so that he could rest for a while. But at this moment, Jarvis suddenly spoke: "Sir, there is a communication from General Ross, do you want to receive it?" ”
"No, tell him that Tony is resting and will talk about it tomorrow." Without waiting for Stark to speak, Pepper categorically refused, and finally persuaded Stark to rest, not to mention General Ross, even the president has to be behind, nothing is as important as Stark's health.
Stark didn't say anything and continued to walk towards the stairs, and Jarvis also rejected General Ross's call request according to Pepper's words, but the matter didn't end there, Stark just opened the high-strength glass doors of the basement and stairwell, and Jarvis's voice sounded again: "Sir, General Ross sent a video, maybe you need to watch it." ”
"Tell General Ross that Tony will watch when he wakes up." Pepper said and wanted Stark to continue walking down the stairwell, but Stark stopped, turned his head, and said, "Jarvis, play the video." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Jarvis received Stark's order, and a holographic projection immediately began to play a two-minute video from General Ross, showing three teams of special forces wearing the highest level of chemical protection suits entering a military base, walking in the brightly lit corridors, but cautiously as if they were going deep into a tiger's den.
In the fifteenth second of the video, an accident appeared, and a 'person' suddenly came out of the room three meters in front of him, and the reason for the quotation marks was because this 'person' was not human-like at all.
The exposed skin is covered with green abscesses, which can definitely force the dense phobia to death, a gray-white bone spur pierces the skin and military uniform at the elbow of the right arm, and the left arm swells to tear through the clothes, and the spine is twisted into an S-shape, which does not look like a human no matter how you look at it.
Stark's attention was on the monster's military uniform, epaulettes, dog tags around his neck and other objects containing information, and immediately shouted to Jarvis: "Jarvis, check his identity." ”
Rows of photos immediately appeared on the screen next to the video, and according to the objects on this monster, they were excluded and compared, and after two seconds, the person who met the requirements was found, and then the person's information was displayed on the big screen.
The photo of the enlistment is a very young, sunny young man, and the distorted monster in the image are two species at all, only twenty-one years old, it is the best period of life, but it has become such an ugly and terrible monster.
"What is this?" Pepper's voice has changed, how can it be like Resident Evil, and turn a good person into such a monster.
As the footage continued, the monster turned to look at the Specs, revealing his face that looked as if it had been run over by a truck, and then rushed over like a gust of wind, the camera of the Specs helmet shaking, and the loudspeakers rang out loud gunshots and screams.
After about twenty seconds of noise, the noise regained its calm, and the camera that fell on the ground filmed the monster swaying away, and the blood gradually spreading on the ground... When the timeline reaches 45 seconds, it becomes a picture shot by another team of special forces, but the background is changed to a stairwell, but the plot is the same, encountering monsters and being wiped out.
The third team of special forces also had the same fate, in just two minutes of video, a total of twenty-four special forces of the three teams were all wiped out, all of them encountered all kinds of monsters in confined spaces such as corridors and stairwells, and then carried out encounters, and were finally wiped out.
The narrow environment can't use powerful weapons at all.,Even grenades can't be thrown.,You can only attack monsters with the rifle in your hand.,But bullets hit these monsters.,But it's like tickling them.,It's useless.,And the monsters are one by one.,Easy to wipe out.。
The two-minute video was watched three or four times by Stark, and the identities of the four monsters that appeared on the camera were found, all of them were soldiers in service, and the number of the troops was the same, but now it has become a monster, which makes Stark wonder if there was an accident in the military's super soldier experiment, which caused these monsters to escape.
Stark didn't have any more thoughts of resting, turned around and walked back, saying as he went, "Jarvis, contact General Ross." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Stark's phone was answered a second later, apparently General Ross had been waiting for the call, and before Stark could speak, General Ross shouted in an anxious tone: "Mr. Stark, see the video I sent you, I need Bruce Banner's help, tell me, where is he?" ”
Stark picked up the coffee cup next to him, drank it down, and said, "You should know better than me where Dr. Banner is, after all, I don't pay attention to him all the time." "The implication is that you follow Dr. Banner more than I do, so how can you not know where he is?
General Ross stood in a room full of screens, staring at the twenty-odd screens hanging on the wall in front of him, and said anxiously, "I, no, there are many people who need the help of Dr. Banner, he is an expert in gamma rays, and no one knows gamma rays better than him. ”
"Uh-huh!" Stark snorted twice, with a look of 'I'm not interested in asking', he knows very well about negotiation skills, and now it is General Ross who has come to ask for help, so he naturally wants to blackmail him, otherwise you said that if you want me to help you, I will help you, why? You're my son.
Not to mention, the feud between Dr. Banner and General Ross can be described as 'enmity as deep as the sea', helping the enemy, unless Dr. Banner is crazy, or becomes the Virgin White Lotus, it is absolutely impossible, and even hearing that General Banner is in trouble, maybe he will open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
General Ross naturally understood this, and hurriedly explained: "The last attack on Dr. Banner was not an order from me, but Samuel Stern, Bruce Banner must know this person, he once helped Bruce Banner prepare a temporary antidote.
On November 18, 2010, the abomination of the battle with Kamen Rider in Chinatown was created by Samuel Stern using a copy of the Hulk serum, and he himself was affected by the battle, infected with the Hulk serum, and was found while cleaning up the scene, and was taken to the hospital for treatment..."
While speaking, General Ross sent Stark photos of Samuel Stern before and after infection, and specifically pointed out that the group of soldiers who attacked Bruce Banner last time was the project that Samuel Stern was responsible for, and portrayed himself as a poor person who was unaware and was cheated by his subordinates.
Of course, you say it, believe it or not it's my business, obviously Stark didn't believe it, and didn't say Bruce Banner, but asked what happened, from General Ross said that Samuel Stern was the person in charge of a certain project, he knew that these monsters should be caused by the Hulk serum experiment, and he now wants to know what happened to make these monsters run out and destroy three teams of special forces.
General Ross was very sad and ashamed to say that a week ago, Samuel Stern got the Hulk serum, which had undergone a secondary mutation after injection, and also activated the gamma ray machine in the base, which increased the gamma ray radiation content of the entire base by a thousand times.
What's even more terrifying is that when the escaped soldiers were monitored for radiation, it was found that the blood of the soldiers in the base had more or less Hulk serum, which means that the scope of Samuel Stern's experiment was the entire base personnel, and the entire base was 'blood poison' by unknown means.
In this case, I'm afraid Samuel Stern has been planning for a long time, otherwise how could he poison the people of the entire base, and secretly transformed the gamma ray machine, making the gamma ray so strong, so that less than a quarter of the large base of thousands of people ran out, and the rest all fell inside.
As soon as the accident occurred, General Ross cut off the energy supply to the base and stopped the gamma-ray machine, so that the vast majority of people did not suffer too much gamma radiation and died on the spot or received too many gamma rays and mutated.
But the difficulty is precisely here, if the entire base is dead, or all mutated, then there is nothing to consider, just use ground-penetrating missiles to blow up this base, even if it is a mutated soldier, it is impossible to survive.
In addition to the soldiers who died tragically due to mutation and excessive radiation, there are still thousands of soldiers alive, but the mutated soldiers in the base are rampant, and even trained soldiers can't stop their frontal blows. At the beginning, the soldiers who were alive rushed out in batches under the organization of the headquarters, but before they came out of their hiding places, they were discovered by the mutated soldiers, and then there was a one-sided massacre.
Nearly 200 surviving soldiers died at the hands of their former comrades, and the command no longer dared to let people leave the room protected by heavy iron doors, and began a rescue operation, trying to rescue these soldiers, and then bombed the base directly.
Unfortunately, the rescue operations ended in failure, this base was built with huge resources and huge sums of money, not only the defense is amazing, the terrain is also very complicated, and there are several layers of steel plates and reinforced concrete on the top cover, which makes the progress of the drilling operation extremely slow, and the result of the frontal assault is the destruction of a team of special forces, and the video sent to Stark is only part of it.
In the past five days, more than 200 special forces have died in this base, and the result is only to rescue more than 200 soldiers on the upper floors, and nearly 600 soldiers are trapped in the deeper part of the base, and what is more serious is that the radiation at the bottom is the largest, and many of these soldiers have symptoms of nuclear radiation.
All feasible methods have been tried, but the cost is too great, and it is impossible to save a thousand normal soldiers in order to save a thousand people who have been affected by radiation and do not know whether they will be able to continue to serve in the future.
Therefore, General Ross had no choice but to call the Transhuman Alliance, the Avengers, in the hope of getting their help
Hulk destroys a small town, causing the world to turn against it, and there is a proposal to control superheroes, and Grell throws out a video of the experiment of the Desperate Virus, saying that the real control should be the super human experiment

As a result, the Osborne Group actually developed an artificial sun, which was stolen by Hydra and copied the artificial sun in Sokovia to become Ortron Energy
Stark deliberately made Rhodes wear a Mark2 with trackers on the internal parts in order to see who would steal his technology, and thus tracked down Rongke Industries
