11. I want them all!
McRae's operational efficiency is still very high.
A few days later, Miss Ash received an invitation from Audleine's Lab in a lab in New York.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper Bob accompanied the well-dressed Miss Ash out of the villa and sat in the intelligent driving car launched by the Oneika Group 1 year ago... She really likes these smart products very much, and she is a loyal fan of the Oneika Group.
The restless rich daughter walked through the streets of New York, and although she was hindered by a protest march that was still going on for a few minutes, she still arrived at the laboratory on time at 9:30 thanks to the accurate calculation of the route by the smart car.
"Hello, Miss Ash."
A young lady in a long gray dress, long fiery red hair, a beautiful figure, and a sweet face was waiting for Ash at the front desk of the laboratory, and when the young lady with a beautiful mole on the corner of her mouth walked in, she immediately greeted her.
"Dr. Moira is already waiting for you in the lab, please come with me."
She said to Ash, who pushed the flat eyes they used for decoration, and she asked:
"You're... Miss Lillian? ”
"Oh? How do you know me? ”
Lillian looked at Ash in surprise, she had only come to make a cameo appearance as an experimental assistant at Moira's invitation today.
Moira was allowed to open a laboratory in the outside world for the last half a month, and the doctor had not yet recruited enough people, but when McRae said that there was a suitable test subject, Moira was a little eager to carry out the experiment.
So she brought in Lillian, who had been with her for the last few years.
Well, the price is a dinner.
Miss Lillian, an excellent botanist, has worked for several years in an intelligence organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., but her personality is still as gentle and kind as ever.
In fact, she's pretty much the kindest baby in the entire ghost base, and everyone in the base likes her, including the prisoners.
"I'm friends with McRae, and he's always complimented you, even making me a little jealous."
Ash reached out and shook Lillian's hand very decently.
The botanist shrugged, and she gave Ash a sweet smile, and she said with a smile:
"That's my own people."
"Sort of."
Ash handed Bob his coat, and she followed Lillian to the elevator, where she said:
"Dr. Moira and I are also acquainted, although we didn't have a good relationship before, but we are barely friends."
"You're actually asking me about the safety of the test, right?"
But Lillian is not stupid, although she is kind, but her IQ and EQ are definitely enough, when the elevator is going up, Lillian said to Ash, who was slightly nervous next to her:
"Don't worry, Miss Ash, this experiment is not very dangerous, in fact, it is probably a downgraded version of several biological experiments currently in the official mainstream, or the 'civilian version', it is part of the New York Hero Association's upcoming 'reward system' to help those injured superheroes recover quickly, as well as to strengthen those members who are confirmed to be able to fulfill their heroic mission."
Lillian explained to Ash:
"So even if you're so unlucky that the experiment fails, it won't have any effect on your body."
"No, Lillian, my new friend."
Ash shook her head, she brushed her white hair, and said:
"I'm not worried about the failure of the experiment, I'm worried about falling into mediocrity, I want the best reinforcement, not these 'civilian versions', for which I'm willing to pay."
"Well, well, you're going to have to talk to Dr. Moira."
Lillian said apologetically:
"She's the one who presides over the trial."
A few minutes later, Ash, dressed in a black leotard, walked into the lab, where she saw an old woman, Moira, debugging a silvery white test chamber with another assistant by her side.
Dressed in a doctor's white coat, with short blond hair, black-framed glasses, and a stethoscope hanging from his neck, but wearing slim jeans and boots on his lower body, he exposed his beautiful figure, and with that ascetic face, he looked quite sensual and seductive.
"That's Dr. Ziegler, another assistant to Dr. Moira."
Lillian introduced Ash to:
"Dr. Ziegler has only just graduated from medical school 2 years ago, but she is very proficient in nanotrauma treatment technology, and it can even be said that she has pioneered a new treatment modality, she is a real genius, and she will also take care of your physical safety during the experiment. Well, as a reminder, Dr. Ziegler doesn't like to talk to strangers much. ”
"Okay."
Ash pursed her lips, adjusting her expression to look gentle, and then she stepped forward and said to Dr. Moira very warmly:
"Sister Moira, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Oh? Ash..."
Moira turned her head, she pushed her glasses, and a hint of doubt flashed on her somewhat neutral face, and she said bluntly:
"In my memory, the relationship between the two of us didn't seem to be so good that you would call me 'sister,' and I remember that you used to call me 'old woman'."
"That's just a misunderstanding, Sister Moira."
Ash shrugged her shoulders, and she said calmly:
"In the years I've been 'resting', I've learned to appreciate all kinds of beauty."
"You should probably keep 'resting'."
Moira looked at Ash and said:
"You're a restless woman, who knows what you'll do with my enhancement results, but then again, it doesn't matter to me, I'm only responsible for collecting money and strengthening, and I can't take care of anything else, just lie down when you're ready."
The doctor pointed to the chamber beside her, and she said to Ash:
"It might be a little painful, but I'm sure it's not a problem for you. The test process is not as long as you think, and the results will be available in about 24 hours. Of course, you need to choose your own strengthening direction in advance. ”
Moira hooked her hand, Lillian immediately handed over a tablet, Ash looked at the various enhancement directions on the tablet, her fingers flipped up and down, she said to Moira in surprise:
"Is it still free to choose the direction of reinforcement? Is your technology already that strong? ”
"Who do you think you're standing in front of?"
Moira snorted disdainfully, crossed her arms, and said:
"Don't compare us to the third-rate researchers out there who swagger and deceive under the guise of enhancement, girl, in the bioaugmentation system, the combination of me and Lillian and Ziegler is the strongest, to be honest, if it weren't for the above requirements... Uh, forget it, you don't need to know this. ”
The Doctor waved his hand and said to Ash:
"Pick and choose, choose 3-5 enhancements, then lie down and sleep for 24 hours. Ding, a fresh booster is baked. Hurry up, don't waste time, I'll have to go to dinner with Lilian in a while." ”
"So many options..."
Ash looked at the options on the tablet, she frowned and thought for a few seconds, then tossed the tablet aside, she crossed her waist, and said to Moira:
"Good baby only makes the choice, I, all of them!"
"Don't be delusional."
Moira hit mercilessly:
"You can't afford so many enhancements."
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?"
Ash stubbornly said:
"You know me, Moira, I'm a very greedy woman, I want to do my best in whatever I do, even if it's the spoils. Anyway, Lillian told me that there would be no after-effects if the experiment failed, so I wanted it all. ”
"Lillian means that there is no risk in strengthening under normal circumstances, but if you want all the enhancement items, this is very risky."
Dr. Ziegler, who had not spoken, pushed his glasses, and she reminded in an indifferent voice:
"If once your body is rejected, the physiological circulatory system in your body will be broken, and you will have to live in diapers and wheelchairs for the rest of your life."
"And the genoplasm is expensive."
Moira Says:
"Although it was McCree's request, although he paid for the enhancement in advance, that little money is not enough for you ambitious woman to go crazy and die."
"Take it."
Ash snapped his fingers, and soon, Bob, the butler who was waiting outside the laboratory, brought a bank card to the hostess, and Ash threw it on the table, and said:
"Isn't it just money..."
"If you have any disclaimers or anything, take them all, I'm willing to take the risk. Come on, Moira, use all your means and see if you can defeat me. ”
A flash of brightness flashed in Ash's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"If I can't get the best, I'd rather not want it!"
“emmmm”
Moira's fingers ran over her bank card, she and her two assistants looked at each other, then looked up inaudibly, glanced at the office on the upper floors, and after a few seconds, she said to Ash:
"Lie in, but if something goes wrong, don't expect me to give you back."
Ash smiled, and like a victorious general, she lay down in the chamber with graceful steps, and the egg-shaped hatch slowly closed as the liquid mixed with some kind of drug filled the chamber.
Outside the chamber, Lillian and Ziegler were busy quickly, taking out the colorful serums and medicines from the sealed storage cabinet and inserting the boosters into the slots in the chamber one by one.
Moira sat in front of George's smart test console, her fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard, constantly resetting various experimental parameters.
Taller up in the chamber, in an observation room on the second floor, Agent McRae was a little nervous, and although he had already guessed Ash's choice, he would also feel apprehensive when he saw his beloved girl step onto the test bench.
"You should know that Moira is scaring Ash, right?"
Behind McRae, Merlin, dressed in a trench coat, sat on the couch and said to his agent commander while handling his work:
"With Ziegler here, even if the experiment fails, she can use nanoworms to repair Ash's damaged organs, it's just that this girl will go through a long recovery period, and she can even save the dead."
Merlin said without raising his head:
"You've experienced it yourself, haven't you?"
"I repeat it again, sir."
McRae turned around and said helplessly to Merlin:
"I wasn't dead that time, even though the bullet had pierced my heart, I was still alive, just in a near-death experience. Ziegler flew over, repaired my wounds with nanobugs, and woke me up with an electric shock... I didn't come back from the dead. ”
"Okay, okay."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said:
"I know you're worried about your woman, but it's her own request, and you love her very much, that's right, but you can't ask her to make decisions."
"Seriously, sir, I don't understand why you're agreeing to Ash's request for experiments."
McRae looked at Merlin, who leaned against the glass window, and asked:
"According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s standards for dangerous people, Ash is already a person who should be monitored."
"Aren't you there?"
Merlin glanced at McRae, and he said:
"Can't you skilled cowboy tame a fierce horse? What's more, we've already said okay, Mike, if Ash does something wrong, I won't trouble her, I'll trouble you... You are determined to lead her into this difficult heroic path. ”
"Of course, in addition to that, I think Ash is right."
Merlin reached out and adjusted the frame, and he said to McCree:
"Cage and Jessica, as well as the cloak and dagger, are very good executors and commanders, but they are not scheming leaders, the New York Hero Association is developing quite well, but a smart girl like Ash can see that the association is actually a mess within the association, and the association's binding force on the heroes is far from enough, which is obviously not what we want to see."
Merlin flicked his fingers:
"If Ash thinks she can twist those superheroes into a rope, then I don't mind giving her a chance, after all, she was also a character who fought out the world with the Death Gang, and I think she has the ability. And since the Hero Association is disguised as a non-governmental organization, it is not easy for the official to interfere, and the wild hero Miss Ash wants to do it, so let her go. ”
"Of course, you'll have to keep training her, Mike, not only to train her in combat skills, but also to infiltrate her little by little what we do for superheroes, Ash is a smart person, she will know what to do."
"Also, remember to get Ash to register on the Superhero Registration Act... You can take it as a kind reminder. ”
After saying that, Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and he said to McRae:
"I'll go first, don't forget to tell me when the results of the test come out, I'm curious to see what kind of hero Miss Ash will become."
"And, Mike, I've given Coulson the security of the Future Technology Foundation's conference in Vienna in half a month, and I guess he'll send you over, although it's a pretty simple task, but I still hope you'll be prepared in advance."
"My watchmen..."
"Huh"
Merlin's figure vanished in the leap of the blue arc.
His body didn't come here at all, what appeared here was just a remotely projected, vivid holographic projection.
After all, the director was very busy, and he didn't have time to come and watch the four women bickering in person. Also, thanks to the smart devices of the Oneika Group, they are really easy to use.
Ah, this is probably the era of new technology, and it feels good.
