Miami, Florida.

Villas with white stucco walls and light red roof tiles are clustered in the midst of lush forests, and the huge courtyards are manicured with unique vegetation to give it the feel of a medieval manor. The entire courtyard is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and those black-suited thugs who are not smiling like template agents in spy war movies are closely guarding this manor

Aldridge Killian wore a white suit with a black undershirt, and his hands were in the pockets of his suit pants waiting in the open space behind the courtyard. The bald man next to him is named Eric Savin, his most powerful henchman, and the most successful example of his subordinates after being transformed by the Desperate Virus.

Killian looked up at his watch for the first time.

"There's only one minute left, and there's not even half a ghost in the sky." He snorted softly, "It seems that this so-called Hydra Leader is not a person with a lot of time concepts. ”

He had barely finished a few seconds before a violent roar rang out above their heads. Lines of steel emerge in the air, gradually outlining the outline of a huge, sci-fi fighter. The pitch-black Kun fighter was like a bird of prey with wings spread, gradually descending to the beep of the anti-gravity device.

The hurricane barely opened its eyes, and Killian's white suit fluttered in the wind. He looked up at the fighter plane and pouted: "Show off." ”

The Kun fighter landed vertically and smoothly in the open space, and the ramp was lowered from the rear. An old man walked down the gangway, his face was resolute, his eyes seemed to be peaceful but intentionally or unintentionally revealed a snake-like sharpness, and he was dressed in a pure black suit, like a mourner.

This is Michael - wearing a digital mask. This is a mask that he has prepared a long time ago, specially prepared for the identity of the commander of the Heavenly Sword. As the leader of such a large organization, you can't just hide behind the scenes forever, and there are always things that are more convenient to come in person.

This mask also came in handy for the first time since it was made.

Killian quickly changed into a standard business-like smile and acted like an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

"We're looking forward to you." He stepped forward and said, "Honestly, we're really flattered to be able to get the attention of someone as big as you. ”

Michael's face was expressionless, and he said in a hoarse and gloomy voice after changing his voice, "I don't like to waste time, Mr. Killian. My schedule is always tight, so why don't we skip the politeness and get straight to the point? ”

"Gladly." Killian turned to the side and raised his hand to gesture, "This way, please." ”

Michael waved his hand at the SkySword agents who were acting as personal bodyguards behind him, signaling them to stay where they were, and then followed Killian towards the villa.

The villa has a lot of space, and most of the rooms are square in shape, with symmetrical space and rigorous layout. They walked along the staggered path inward, and from time to time Killian peeked at the sterd-faced old man behind him, his mind active.

"I always thought your organization had been wiped out." Killian asked as if nonchalantly, "There is news that Hydra has been completely eradicated by Aegis. ”

"'Chop off one head and you'll grow two,' I'm sure you've heard it, Mr. Killian. And this is not without purpose. "You just need to know that Hydra still exists, and its power is still not what you can imagine." Something else—for the sake of your own business, Mr. Kirian—it would be better not to ask. ”

Killian shrugged: "I know, just casually." ”

He led Michael across most of the villa to a room with an extra-thick alloy door. Undo the electronic lock, and inside is a warehouse-wide experimental field, and the air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"As you may already know, our Pioneer Technology think tank has successfully developed this super virus called 'Desperate Situation.'"

Killian stepped into the room and strode over to the console. He pressed a few buttons to activate the room's holographic projector, projecting multiple file information.

He smiled, "You've seen the potential of the 'Desperate' project, and it's definitely a decision you won't regret." It's a testament to how much you have a vision beyond others, and you're not blind like an idiot like Stark. ”

Killian then acts like a dutiful salesman to Michael about the various qualities of the Desperate Warrior. According to his explanation, he seems to have found a way to hack into any biological hard drive, modifying the DNA of the organism to make it fully enhanced. The Desperate Warrior is incredibly powerful, with excellent motor reflexes, great strength, bounce, and most importantly, the ability to heal from almost any injury - except for momentary fatal injuries such as being decapitated or having his heart destroyed.

In a specially prepared demo video for Killian, his Desperate Warrior unleashes a body hot enough to melt steel and even split a heavily armored tank with a single palm. They can even act as suicide bombers when needed, and when their temperature exceeds a critical level, they will explode at a limit temperature of more than three thousand, which is incredibly destructive and difficult to prevent.

Simply the ultimate weapon for terrorists.

Killian went on and on for a long time, but until he finished the last demo video, the old man in black looked so pale that it seemed that the series of advantages he had just boasted about was inconsequential and not worth surprising him at all.

After Killian's introduction, Michael looked at the information in the documents for a moment and asked slowly, "It seems that there was a similar bombing in the center of Manhattan a few days ago...... I guess that's your handiwork, too? ”

Killian was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, and decided not to lie to the mysterious old man: "That is indeed the result of a 'desperate situation', but that is not in our plan. That's one of our customers...... Because of his personal self-control problems, he ingested an excessive amount of 'desperate situation' at one time, causing his own overheating to detonate. That one...... In fact, it was an accident. ”

"In other words, your virus will have drug dependence problems." Michael said unhurriedly, "And once addicted, the result of an inhalation overdose is a large-scale self-explosion of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius...... That's what it means, right? ”

“...... This possibility cannot be ruled out. "But the think tank is working on the overheating, and I'm sure we'll have a plan soon." In addition, addiction is only relative, as long as it is properly controlled......"

"Drug dealers like to say that, too. But I'm afraid arming all my soldiers into drug-addicted self-propelled explosives packs is not what I wanted. Michael said, pausing, his eyes seemed to inadvertently reveal a knife-like coldness, "Besides...... Actually, I didn't really want to buy any of your 'desperate situations' in the first place. ”

Killian frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

If this conversation continues like this, it would normally be a matter of punching a few people, punching a few faces, and then fixing a few terrorists who will glow. But I don't know if Killian should be lucky or not, and a loud noise of gunfire and fighting outside the door put an end to the conversation.

Killian put on a wireless headset: "What's going on?" ”

A guard's roar was heard in the headset with a strong murmur of electricity and a gunshot that shook the eardrums: "We are attacked!" It's steel...... Yes!! ”

There is no need to guess too much, the mystery will be revealed in the next moment. Three seconds later, the alloy door was blasted open by a huge force on the outside, and the sunken and deformed door panel broke free from the door frame and moved more than ten meters before it whirled to a stop.

Thick smoke and dust flew at the gate, and the red and gold armor stood outside the door, and the light released by the arc-shaped energy core on his chest reflected a pale blue path of light between the dust. He raised his palm, and a high concentration of energy gathered in the muzzle of the palm of his hand, as if it would whistle out at any moment.

It's Iron Man who has arrived.
