Chapter 511: Identification of Threats

"Is it any wonder that Canada has camps next to the base?"

In the face of [Dominic Butch]'s reply, James in 'Gears of War' frowned.

Apparently, the SCP Foundation's reaction was somewhat unexpected to the Colonel's.

He didn't expect the Foundation to be so resistant to the government, even if it was the world's superpower, the United States.

At the same time, James's eyes flashed in the steel suit, but he understood why Canada had chosen to station the camp next to the base instead of entering the base directly. Originally, he thought that Canada's approach was to avoid the damage caused by the giant monsters in the intelligence, but now it seems that the SCP Foundation does not allow them to enter the base.

Although, [Dominic Butch] has made the SCP Foundation's rejection position very clear.

However, James, who did not want to see a senseless conflict between the U.S. military and the Foundation, still hoped to convince the other side.

"Sir, the American military is not an enemy of your Foundation, and we have no intention of fighting the Foundation, our goal has always been the giant monster in the base, so I hope you can follow my advice and avoid a needless war."

In James's mind, the SCP Foundation is a mysterious organization hidden under the world, but he does not believe that the Foundation has the power to compete with the American military, the most powerful military in the world.

"I've made it clear about the SCP Foundation's position."

In the face of the somewhat bitter persuasion of the 'war machine', the expression on [Dominique Butch's] face was unmoved.

He looked directly at the pitch-black steel suit in front of him, and replied in a still calm tone: "The containment of anomalies is the responsibility of the Foundation, and there is no need for any unrelated personnel to intervene, for the Foundation, the intervention of the ignorant will only make the already dangerous containment work more dangerous and complicated, this is the lesson that the Foundation has learned under countless blood and tears, so no matter what the purpose of this operation is for the American military, the Foundation will not allow you to enter the base." ”

"Looks like there's nothing to talk about."

Seeing Dominic Butch's resolute attitude, James suddenly realized that he could not convince the Foundation to avoid a conflict between him and the American military.

Inside the 'War Machine', he took a deep breath.

Since the conflict cannot be avoided, then he can only return to his own position.

Controlling the steel suit on his body to make a low sound of weapon activation, James pulled out the electric shock baton on the back of the suit and aimed it at [Dominic Butch] in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Then I'm sorry, as a soldier of the American military, my duty is to eradicate the obstacles to the battle. ”

Crackling -

As James's words fell, a faint blue arc erupted from the electric shock rod in his hand.

"Can I ......?"

Bowing his head and sweeping the electric shock baton in the hand of the 'war machine', for the threat of the American colonel, [Dominic Butch] did not have the slightest fear on his face, he straightened his back and stood on tiptoe and retreated a few steps, looked at the steel suit in front of him and said calmly: "Take this as a threat to the Foundation." ”

With Dominic Butch's voice, the stand-in [Weather Forecast] behind him opened his arms, and the complex weather changes within his body composed of clouds began to form.

Bolts of lightning then appeared all around it.

"What, this is?!"

Looking at the lightning floating around [Dominic Butch] in front of him, James in the 'War Machine' was alarmed, and at the same time, the electric shock rod in his hand seemed to be affected by the surrounding electricity and began to become unstable.

The body fluttered slowly under the effect of the air flow controlled by the stand-in [Weather Forecast], and [Dominic Butch] looked down at the 'war machine' in front of him, and his tone remained calm and calm: "Although it is the Foundation's duty to protect humanity from being affected by anomalies, it is not among the objects of protection in the face of enemies. ”

"The actions of the U.S. military have already had an impact on the Foundation's subsequent containment efforts, and according to the Foundation's Emergency Response Regulations, in the event that a third party's actions have an unavoidable impact on the Foundation's subsequent containment missions, in order to minimize the impact, the person in charge of the containment mission may make a decision to retaliate according to the situation."

Facing James's expressionless expression, he made his decision, and with [Dominic Butch] decided.

Boom Boom –

A deafening roar of thunder rang out over the base, which had been wrapped in white mist.

"Weather?"

Being able to be a colonel in the United States, James is not a stupid man.

In the 'War Machine', he witnessed the verdict of [Dominic Butch] and the sudden changes in the weather around the entire base, and immediately understood that the ability of the man in front of him may be greatly related to the rapidly changing weather around him, and it is even possible that the other party's ability is to control the change of weather.

It's just that, although he sensed the ability of [Dominic Butch], James in the steel suit could only smile bitterly in the face of this weather-changing force.

"I'm really unlucky."

Inside the suit, he muttered in a low voice.

In the face of the powerful power shown by [Dominic Butch], James, as the controller of the 'war machine' and the colonel of the US army, has no reason to back down, because of his relationship with Tony, he has become the controller of the 'war machine', but in fact, there are many opposing voices within the military, but these voices have been suppressed based on Tony's attitude, but they have always been interested in' Gears of War's technology is on the lookout, and if James makes a mistake, he will pounce on him and take the steel suit from him.

Giving up the stun baton in his hand, which obviously had no deterrent effect, James controlled the machine gun behind the steel suit to aim at the [Dominic Butch] in front of him, and gave the order to shoot without hesitation.

In a burst of fire, a large number of bullets erupted from the machine gun on the shoulder of the 'War Machine'.

In the face of this dense bullet attack, [Dominic Butch] himself did not have the slightest idea of dodging, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at the bullets flying in front of him, and the whole figure did not react at all.

"Hit ...... Hit? "Let's search for books

In this way, without [Dominic Butch] dodging anything, the bullets from the machine gun fell on him accurately, looking at this scene, even James in the 'War Machine' couldn't help but show a surprised expression, he didn't expect his attack to be so smooth.

"No, that's not right!"

Soon, though, James sensed that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.

Although the bullets fired by the 'War Machine' hit [Dominic Butch]'s body, the opponent's body did not show any wounds as expected, in fact, these bullets seemed to penetrate through [Dominic Butch]'s body as if they had penetrated through the phantom, and [Dominique Butch] in front of him was still looking at him with his own calm face.

"Is it really fake?"

Through the scan inside the steel suit, James was even more certain of his judgment.

Just after he judged that the [Dominic Butch] in front of him was just a phantom, he saw that the body of the floating figure in front of him turned from clear to illusory, and finally disappeared under the blowing of a gust of wind.

A mirage, also known as a mirage, is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light.

In general, special weather phenomena occur only in certain climates and geographical environments.

However, this phenomenon is not as difficult as it seems for Dominic Butch, who has a stand-in [Weather Forecast] who can only manipulate the weather. By altering the refraction of sunlight in the atmosphere, Dominic Butch easily created a mirage of his own in front of the 'War Machine', attracting all the firepower.

As the illusion created by the mirage disappeared, a thick fog around James immediately dissipated, revealing the figure of [Dominic Butch], he looked up at the 'war machine' in front of him, and raised his palm slightly, and in the next moment, a large amount of strong wind emerged from in front of him, and under the control of the stand-in [weather forecast], a tornado quickly formed and surged towards the colonel in front of him.

"What, damn it!"

With the protection of the steel suit, James can certainly withstand most of the damage, including the frontal attack of bullets, but the strength of the steel suit is obviously not enough for it to have the ability to resist tornadoes. The war machine didn't have the slightest strength to resist, and it only lasted for more than ten seconds before the powerful tornado blew it into the air, and as the power of the tornado continued to increase, James in the steel suit felt like a sardine in a jar to be slaughtered.

Seeing the 'War Machine' flying higher and higher under the power of the tornado, a strange look suddenly flashed in the eyes of [Dominic Butch], who controlled the tornado, and then the [Weather Forecast] fist of the stand-in behind him shrank, and the originally violent tornado in front of him seemed to lose its source in an instant, and dissipated.

As the tornado dissipated, the 'war machine' wrapped in it seemed to lose its support, and fell straight to the ground without resistance.

Driven by the heavy weight of the steel suit, James fell faster and faster, but the colonel himself in the 'war machine' still did not react, and the violent rotation of the tornado made his whole person still in a state of vertigo at the moment, unable to react to flight at all.

Seeing, under the effect of inertia, the 'war machine' is about to fall on the hard ground outside the base.

If he falls, even if he is protected by a heavy steel suit, James himself will undoubtedly be seriously injured.

At this moment, a red figure pierced through the dense fog outside the base at a rapid speed, caught the 'war machine' falling from mid-air at the last moment, and flew away from the base without the slightest pause.

Witnessing the whole process of the figure saving the 'war machine', the face of [Dominic Butch] in front of the base did not change in the slightest.

In the antique store, the corners of Li Ran's mouth couldn't help but move upwards slightly.

……

"Thanks, Tony."

The one who saved the 'War Machine' at the last moment was none other than Tony, who had arrived from the Avengers Tower.

In the 'War Machine', finally recovering from the previous dizzy state, James looked at Tony who was dragging himself flying under him, and said with an expression of apology and embarrassment on his face.

"If it weren't for you, I might ......"

"If that's what you do, you should have listened to my advice beforehand."

Pulling the 'war machine' to fly for a while, Mark 50 Netoni turned his head to look at the base behind him that was again wrapped in thick fog, and said with a somewhat frightened and angry expression: "Even the Avengers are not too sure in the face of a mysterious organization like the SCP Foundation, who gave you the courage to dare to fight the people of the Foundation single-handedly, Mr. Colonel James." ”

"I'll admit it, I was reckless."

In the face of Tony's obviously mocking words, James, who knew that he was at a loss in the 'War Machine', could only smile wryly.

"I didn't expect that the SCP Foundation would be so resistant and resolute in the face of various national governments, and would not even allow any government to intervene, and at the same time, I didn't expect their power to be so powerful, the power to control the weather, I originally thought that this is a power that only gods can have."

"What's strange about this, isn't there a genuine Thor in the Avengers?"

After making sure that he was far enough away from the base, Tony slowed down his speed and put down the 'War Machine', and at the same time opened his mask and said with a rare and strange expression.

Controlling the 'war machine' to stand on his feet, James shook his still somewhat groggy head, opened the steel mask to reveal his dark face, looked at Tony in front of him, and said with a solemn expression.

"Well, now is not the time to talk Tony, the attitude of the SCP Foundation in the base is completely different from what I expected, I must quickly tell the moving American military everything that is happening in the base, otherwise, there is a high probability that there will be a conflict between the Foundation and the United States."

"About that."

Compared to James's worries, Tony in front of him seemed calm.

"In fact, the Avengers are already prepared, but I don't know if the American military will listen to our advice."

As a former arms dealer, Tony knows whether he knows the American military or not, and he knows exactly what kind of guys it is.

Therefore, he had to be pessimistic about the results of Captain America's contact.
