Chapter 12: Hex's Energy Shield

"Kid, lay down your arms, we're police officers and want to take you and Iron Man back to find out what's going on. The lead agent shouted to the boy as he finished drawing.

"You mean her?"

Evan pointed to the steel suit that had fallen to the ground due to the loss of the confinement effect of the "Fire Chewing Grenade", and on his back there was the letter graffiti that the boy had just completed: "She's changed her name, now called 'Ironclad Girl'"

"Alright, we need to take you and the 'Iron Girl' back, I hope you can cooperate. ”

Seeing that his men had surrounded Ivan without a trace, the leading agent realized what he had just said to attract the boy's attention.

When the limelight passes, Tony Stark will definitely kill himself!

"Whoosh-"

The head of the agent who was thinking about whether to give the order to attack directly or try to convince the boy to go back with him suddenly heard the sound of flames advancing.

Looking up, sure enough, Jarvis, who had already contacted the super quantum computer team in the laboratory, had restarted the steel suit and was manipulating it to fly towards Tony's villa.

Raising his hand to stop his men from wanting to attack, the head of the agent, who had no intention of bringing Tony Stark back, motioned for his men to close the encirclement and approach the boy in the center.

"Ahh......h It's time for me to go, too. ”

Although he knew that letting S.H.I.E.L.D. finish up was the best option at the moment, Evan didn't plan to be caught by them so easily.

The villa is where the operatives of the squad make their contributions.

As for the rooftop of Stark Tower?

Evan who had just defeated Iron Man didn't want to experience defeat so quickly!

"Do it!"

Seeing the boy take off the "Death Cannon" on his back, although he didn't know his specific plans, the leading agent still sensed Ivan Van's intention to resist and decisively gave the order to attack.

With the commander's order, the agents who had been prepared for a long time threw all the "stun grenades" on hand in a very short time.

White smoke soon spread across the roof of the building, and the members of the task force covered their mouths and noses and retreated, waiting for the smoke to clear up.

A faint blue glow flickered, followed by the muffled sound of a human body falling on a cold stone surface, and the clanging of a metal weapon as it struck.

Before he fell unconscious, Ivan had only one thought in his mind: "It's careless, the 'Hex Energy Shield' can't stop the fainting component in the gas." ”

......

Watching the unconscious boy being carried onto the plane, Melinda May let go of her worries.

Then, as if thinking of something, she asked Nick Fury, who was also relaxed, "How long will Evan be unconscious?"

"It won't take more than 35 hours. ”

"It won't be harmful to the body, will it?"

"Of course not," Nick Fury said, glancing at Melinda, "the composition of the gas is almost not toxic to humans, and the side effects are much smaller than normal doses of sleeping pills." ”

"Don't be too nervous, Melinda, I'm sure Evan will be alive and kicking in front of you. ”

"What do you mean, you won't let me visit while Ivan's coma?"

Nick Fury: "......"

"Nick didn't mean that," Hill stepped forward and took Melinda aside and comforted, "He just doesn't want you to be too nervous, in fact, you don't need to be nervous at all, it's a blessing for little Evan to have your guardian who cares for him so much." ”

"Ciel, do you think Evan will accept me?"

"You've asked this five times, my dear," Hill said with a wry smile, "Didn't Nick give you Team America's diary?

"No, I mean...... If I want to adopt Ivan, will he agree?"

Melinda May's failed marriage convinced her celibacy, and until now in her early thirties, she has no children of her own.

The guilt of the mutant little girl torments her all the time, and the loneliness and depression make her feel that she needs a peaceful life, a warm home, and a ...... own children.

"That's a good thing!"

Although he felt that Melinda's idea was unlikely to succeed, after all, Evan was fourteen years old and not four, but Hill still gave a supportive attitude at the first time.

"That'...... Will Evan agree?"

"Uh...... I think you should cultivate your relationship with Ivan first, and then pick it out for him when the time comes. ”

Melinda May nodded, a flash of longing in her eyes.

Hill sighed to himself, his friend was probably no longer suitable for the profession of agent.

Like the soldiers of the homesickness, when an agent yearns for peace, he can no longer appear on the front line of the battlefield.

"Ahemβ€”"

Nick Fury coughed twice, his face was very ugly, these two subordinates are really too blind, and they are still sitting here, so they have already begun to discuss the layout of Evan's room, when the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the mascot?

"By the way, Director, how did you know that the blue shield couldn't stop the gas from escaping from the 'stun grenade'?"

Hill, who didn't want Melinda and Nick to quarrel again, diverted the topic without a trace, and at the same time attracted the attention of Phil Coulson, who was still flipping through the diary of the American team.

"It's not that you can't stop it, it's that you don't stop it. ”

Although he was not optimistic or agreed with Melinda's idea of adopting Evan, Nick Fury did not express his opinion on the matter, but followed Hill's words to lead the topic in another direction.

The inscrutable explanation was not answered by his men, and three of his men, including Phil Coulson, did not answer, just stared at him, staring at him.

"At the party, Evan opened the shield once, and it was not a short time, about a minute or more. ”

"If the shield really keeps out the gas, then he's going to show something. ”

Nick Fury's explanation made Hill and the others nod.

Those present were all experienced agents, familiar with the instinctive reactions of people in an environment of suffocation or low oxygen levels.

If the gas inside and outside the shield really does not circulate, then a minute in a small space is enough for the oxygen inside to be consumed to a certain extent.

Even to the point where it is difficult to breathe, there are still instinctive manifestations such as nostril constriction and involuntary opening and closing of lips, which they do not see in Evan.

"In that case, when Tony's suit fires a shoulder cannon, Evan should also be affected, right?"

Phil Coulson raised his doubts, knowing that the smoke from the explosion of the shell was not a pleasant powdered sugar, and the pain from the trachea to the lobes of the lungs was not something that a child who had not suffered anything could bear, but Evan still acted like no one else.

"So I said, it's not that the shield can't stop the gas escaping from the 'stun grenade', it's that it doesn't. ”

"You have also seen the footage transmitted by the probing satellite, the white smoke is indeed blocked from the outside of the protective shield, but the colorless and odorless stun agent is inhaled into Ivan along with oxygen, which causes him to fall unconscious. ”

"Director, are you saying that the smoke from the shells was so pungent that it caused the shield to react and keep it out?"

Hill quickly came up with more based on Nick Fury's explanation: "And even during the time when he was resisting the explosion of the shell, little Evan's face remained the same, indicating that his absorption of oxygen was not affected. ”

"That's how it should be. ”

Nick Fury nodded at the incredulous Hill, confirming her reasoning as her own guess: "I don't know the technology, but I'm familiar with the logic, and since we want to ensure the smooth flow of the logic, then if all else is not true, we can only estimate the technical nature of the shield." ”

"Besides, even if the 'Stun Grenade' has no effect and allows Ivan to escape from Stark Tower, the operatives arranged at Ivan Villa can carry out follow-up interception work. ”

"But when that happens, we won't be able to have it as easy as we are now. ”

"That being said, your guess is too arbitrary, Director."

Hill still thinks Nick's speculation about the shield is too bizarre, and even though he relies on it to catch Evan with his newly commissioned "Stun Grenade", the lady still can't accept it.

You know, even if there is a central computer-controlled air warship, its protective shield can't be so intelligent, and it's hard to have a Jarvis in Ivan's hands?

But with the help of artificial intelligence, how could he be deceived by Nick's "little tricks" and lose the ability to resist?

What Hill doesn't know is that Nick Fury's guess is very close to the truth, the only difference is that Evan uses consciousness to control the degree of shield interception.

It has to be said that communicating with the machine is indeed the top control means on the mechanical side, and the "Hexenergy Shield" is also based on this concept.

However, due to the immaturity of technology and Ivan's lack of ability to control his own consciousness, today's "Hex Energy Shield" is only a half-finished product, so there will be an embarrassing situation that blocks the white smoke but fails to stop the fainting component.

......

While Nick Fury and Hill were still discussing the possibility of shielding, the communicator on their desks rang.

"What's wrong?"

Nick connected the communication, and his calm tone was completely inaudible about the nervousness in his heart at this time.

It's no wonder that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is so worried, the communication request was sent from the fighter plane escorting Evan, obviously encountering a special situation.

I didn't know that Tony was unconscious, and the steel suit when he left was controlled by Jarvis Nick Fury, and I was really afraid that Tony Stark, who had a hot brain, would give him something again.

Moreover, the military and the New York Police Department contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. separately ten minutes ago, and their intentions are self-evident.

If you want to say that the radical behavior of intercepting the S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter plane can't be done by others, because the reason of the "Hulk" Hulk is almost and General Ross, who is about to tear his face with S.H.I.E.L.D., may not be able to do it.

"Calm him down, don't do anything drastic, bring him here as soon as possible!"

Until he hung up the communicator, Nick Fury still felt a dull pain in his forehead, and although none of the accidents he had guessed had happened, he still got extremely bad news from the agents on the fighter plane - the boy named Evan woke up!
