Chapter 254: Gamma World
Rumble!
The wall from the laboratory to the corridor was blasted horizontally, and the reddish-gold afterimage crashed out of the laboratory, followed by the corridor, and tumbled to the ground in a trail of debris and smoke.
It was Tony in Iron Man armor, and the barrage of blows sent a slight slump to the monitor in front of him. He stood up with his brain still not coming back from his near-crash state, and his eyes widened at the sight of the green-skinned monster in the classic blue with a star-striped uniform and a golden shield in his hand, and he finally slowly accepted the fact that "Captain America has transformed into a Hulk-type monster".
It's a nightmare.
"Jarvis, what's going on?"
The lock frame in the helmet interface has long been firmly locked on the mutated Captain America, and a number of data are synchronously popped up and displayed in the interface, and the spectrum shows that the opponent's whole body is filled with incomparably abundant gamma energy. At this time, the captain was like a moving gamma explosive bag, and the gamma radiation was his gunpowder.
"The precisely tuned gamma radiation energy led to the mutation of Captain Steve Rogers. Energy concentrations are still rising, and it is assumed that the vast majority of known terrestrial animals exposed to this radiation field will undergo similar mutations......"
"Wait, wait, you said radiant field...... Is it here? The Avengers Mansion? Tony asked, stunned.
"Yes, sir. The source of the radiation is undetectable for the time being, but a gamma energy field is rapidly expanding around the Avengers Mansion. At this rate, the entire city of New York is expected to be covered within four hours. ”
Jarvis said as he showed a model of the green gamma energy field covering New York in his computer interface. Tony gasped.
Wait, exposure to gamma radiation causes the vast majority of animals to mutate, is that right......
The most terrible thoughts seemed to be fulfilled the moment they took shape in his mind. The wall at the back of their room also collapsed with a thud, and a red afterimage broke through the dust and flew in, plowing a crack more than four meters long against the marble floor before barely stopping.
Thor gritted his teeth and crawled out of the rift. Several huge burly bodies came out through the smoke one after another, and the falcon, the eagleeye, the widow, and Colonel Rhodes, who had obviously had time to wear battle armor in the future, the four of them became as big and green as the captain, and looked hideous.
On the bright side, though, they're nowhere near Hulk's level. Although they have become a lot more intimidating, they are only half a head taller than they were originally, and their size and strength are far less exaggerated than Hulk.
But that doesn't mean it's not a disaster.
"Thor?" Tony kept the repulsion cannon in his right palm vigilantly aimed at Captain America in front of him, and stepped back to Thor's side, "I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to see that only you are unaffected." ”
"Finally, there is a sober Avenger. What's going on, my friend Stark? Thor and he stood back to back, "Why did the Avengers' comrades become ...... Looks like the Hulk? ”
"Gamma infection, someone released a huge gamma energy field to infect all the creatures that covered it, just like the Hulk was born in the past. Gamma energy gives them great strength, stamina, and speed......"
"This kind of thing is not effective for us Divine Domain people!"
"yes, I found out." Tony squinted his eyes at Thor behind him, "I'm glad you're okay, but the situation itself is still bad." If the energy field continues to spread, it will cover New York in four hours, and everyone in the city will be a gamma monster! We must urgently find and shut down the source of radiation before it is too late. ”
"Actually, Stark. It's already too late for you. ”
The door slowly opened, and a short, green-skinned, long-faced guy appeared in the doorway. With his hands behind his back, the leader stood in the doorway with a confident smile, watching the room with an unhurried gaze.
Tony glanced at him, "Who are you?" ”
"My name doesn't matter." "But you can call me 'Chief,' a man who is about to lead the world to change and open a new chapter in history." ”
"I've heard a little too much about that, and to be honest, I've always thought I was the one who pushed history." Tony stared at him, a glint in his eyes, "So, you mean, you're responsible for what is happening?" ”
"You say this?" The leader pointed at the mutated Avengers and shook his head, "No, these are nothing. If I had to say it...... It can only be said that it is an experiment. ”
He walked slowly into the room under the watchful eyes of the two of them, and slowly sat down on a couch, even crossing his legs.
"It's just a matter of passing to take down the Avengers, so that you don't get me any more unnecessary trouble later." "The main purpose of this time is to test the effect of my gamma rays. And the result, as you can see," he whispered proudly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "perfectly. ”
"Gamma variation, what a wonderful thing." The leader crossed his legs and sunk himself into the couch, intoxicated as he sketched a blueprint for the future, "Unleash your barren imagination, Stark, can you imagine what that future looks like?" Humanity has become a whole new species, a new creature that has overcome its flaws and is much more perfect than it is now, and dominates the world......"
"Let me guess, a world full of muscle-thinking monsters, all at your command?"
The leader shrugged his shoulders: "There must always be someone wise enough to step up and lead." And I, as a matter of course, will take up this responsibility. ”
While talking to him, Tony didn't stop for a moment to let Jarvis try to scan and locate the source of the radiation, and at this point, the result finally came to fruition. Radiation markers indicate that the source is coming from the bottom of their feet, in the basement of the Avengers Mansion. The cobweb-like radiant energy of the model of the computer screen in front of him was rapidly spreading in all directions, and now it had spread to the nearest few streets to the building.
He frowned: "Basement? You hid the radiation source in my basement? But how could it be ......"
The leader laughed: "Of course it is possible. Because I'm a thousand times smarter than you after gamma transformation! I can do a lot of things you can't, including hacking into a military base and stealing the Hulk, and of course, infiltrating your building silently and hiding a gamma launcher in the basement. ”
He paused and sneered, "But don't have any bad ideas, use your invincible armor to blow it up or something." The transmitter was coated with a unique password that I had specially coded, and no one could crack it. If forcibly destroyed, one of the huge gamma energies will explode instantly, and the radiation range can also cover the whole of New York. So, I advise you not to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Jarvis's voice rang out: "Gamma radiation concentration has stopped growing...... Radiation concentrations are beginning to decrease and are gradually returning to normal values. ”
Before the leader finished speaking, he swallowed back, and he immediately took out a terminal device to look at the running status of his generator, and found that it was written with the words "overrun, the system has been forced to shut down".
The leader's small body jumped up from the couch.
"Impossible!"
