"Is the virus and germ testing done?" Howard sat at the door of the testing hall with an anxious face, and when he saw the doctor walk out, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Howard, the test has been preliminarily completed, and no unknown viruses, bacteria, or microorganisms have been found yet, but ......"

The doctor lifted his glasses and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Howard: "Stop, stop, no but, doctor." Now that he's passed, I should be able to adopt him. ”

"According to the law, in your capacity, you can adopt him by submitting an application." The doctor kept his mouth shut in amusement, he was just a doctor, but he didn't have the guts to defy a powerful figure in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"That's good." Howard nodded, "Can I go in now?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that the child is sleeping, so you'd better be gentle." The doctor stepped out of the way.

"Jarvis, help me get my car home, and find someone to help me draft an adoption application." Howard walked into the testing room, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and poked his head out again, "Oh, by the way, help me think of a reason to deal with Maria." ”

Jarvis's face was not good-looking, nodded stupidly, and walked to the garage.

……

"Miss nurse, can I pick up this child?" There was a nurse standing next to Li Ji, who had been writing on the clipboard with a pen, not knowing what she was recording.

"It's Mr. Howard, you can take him, I'm just a routine data record." The nurse stepped aside and continued to keep her head down to record the data.

"This child's physical examination, there is nothing abnormal." Howard picked up the sleeping Li Ji, rubbed Li Ji's little face with his beard, and asked.

"Aside from the obvious exuberance of hair and the atavistic phenomenon of having a tail, there's nothing too much out of the ordinary." The female nurse paused for a moment and stopped writing, "If you have to say it, his brainwave response and cell activity are much higher than those of his peers, which can be regarded as an anomaly." ”

"That is, this child will be smarter and healthier than his peers, right?" Howard smiled.

"How do you know?" The nurse's expression was surprised.

"I'm a professional." Howard laughed, and the laughter woke Li Ji up, and he looked at Howard with an unhappy expression.

"Let's go home." Howard rubbed Li Ji's little face with his beard again, and Li Ji felt that if he didn't have enough strength now, he would definitely give Howard a slap.

……

"Strange, why hasn't Jarvis come here yet." At the gate of the base, Howard looked at the time on his watch, he had been waiting at the door for ten minutes, but the familiar vehicle had not yet driven over, Li Ji's stomach was already a little hungry, but he still endured it and didn't cry, this place looked like a secret base, it didn't look like there would be a bottle, he just wanted to get out of here quickly and completely get rid of the possibility of being sliced.

"Dididi." Howard's walkie-talkie rang.

"Do you still use radio, is it so retro? This is not some kind of local armed establishment, a private warlord base that is thirty years behind the mainstream. Li Ji couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Hey, Jarvis, why haven't you come here yet, do you want me to wait until Easter?" Howard said with some dissatisfaction, although he didn't have much experience with children, he could still see that Li Ji was hungry, and S.H.I.E.L.D. lacked nothing, but the child's feeding bottle and milk powder really didn't exist.

"Mr. Howard, please return to S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately, the Brotherhood of Mutants has taken control of the underground garage, it is not clear whether they are demonstrative attacks or have a follow-up attack plan, please enter the protection area immediately!" Jarvis's voice was a little panicked and a little low, and Howard could hear that he was speaking in a suppressed voice.

"Damn, didn't Charles say the Brotherhood of Mutants they're watching all this time?" Howard gritted his teeth, cursed secretly, and re-entered the base with Li Ji in his arms.

"The Brotherhood of Mident? When you hear the name, it's like that kind of gang, is this really an underground gang? Li Ji had words of suffering in his heart, and the expression on his face became melancholy. (Mutants have a similar pronunciation in English to Mukent)

"Don't be afraid, little one, Dad is very strong and will protect you."

Hearing Howard Tian's shameless self-proclaimed father, Li Ji's desire to slap him became stronger and stronger.

……

"Warning, warning, enemy invasion, enemy invasion!" Howard had just walked into a secret room with Li Ji in his arms when a warning sounded in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Damn, it's all a bunch of moths, it took so long to react. The Mutant Brotherhood also shielded radio communications, who gave them technical support! Howard shook the radio-talkie-talkie that had lost signal in his hand, and then pressed the landline that had also lost signal, his expression a little ugly.

The sound of guns outside was very noisy, and Li Ji was a little furious when he heard it.

"Am I encountering a gang fight? I'm in water reversal these days? Yesterday I was hit in the face by a spaceship, and today I became a baby and encountered a gang fight? No, it's already a shootout! I'm still a kid, I'm so tired! "There's nothing wrong with Li Ji's idea, after all, he's just a little baby now.

"Is that guy Nick an idiot! The mutants had invaded him before he realized it. It's really ......" Howard was about to burst into foul language, when he suddenly looked down and saw Li Ji in his arms, and stopped suddenly, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, little baby, Dad lost his temper, it's okay, it's just a small thing, I'll take care of it, you stay alone in this room for a while, Dad goes out to protect you." Howard pinched Li Ji's face and kissed Li Ji's forehead, "What a good baby." ”

"......" Li Ji felt very speechless, although it was not bad to hide in a safe place by himself, but this place was too closed, especially after Howard went out, he pressed the protection button again, and put a layer of thirty centimeters of armor wall on this house, Li Ji couldn't even hear the sound of the fight.

Howard walked out of the room, escaped from his jacket with a delicate pistol, pressed against the wall, lightly and vigilantly walked in the direction of the center.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Central Hall.

"S.H.I.E.L.D., RELEASE OUR COMPATRIOTS IMMEDIATELY, OUR MUTANT BROTHERHOOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON ANY MUTANT BROTHERS, RELEASE THE MUTANTS YOU CAPTURED IMMEDIATELY, OTHERWISE WE WILL CARRY OUT THE SECOND PHASE OF THE ATTACK!" In the center of the hall stood a stout mutant with his hands turned into wolf claws and an electric arc entwined around his body, which was particularly difficult to provoke at first glance.
