Chapter 64: The Alliance
"Huh??"
Tony Stark's eyes widened in disbelief and he said, "Uh..... Mr. Leon, are you kidding? ”
"Not really."
Leon smiled, "Including the hairless bird in the sky, some of the mutants you see formed by animal infection come from the bio-modification laboratory of the memetic company. ”
"...."Rao is Iron Man who can speak well, and he doesn't know what to say for a while, so he can only faintly prepare the vector jet system, ready to retreat at any time.
"Don't worry, Mr. Stark, I'm not the initiator of this plague."
Seeing Tony Stark's vigilant appearance, Leon smiled casually and said casually: "The meme company has an office in downtown Manhattan, and its subordinate biomodification laboratory is located near New York University.
A few hours earlier, the biomodification laboratory had been attacked, and some of the experimental biological samples had been lost, including the hairless birds. ”
The corners of Iron Man's eyes twitched, and he said with a straight face: "You mean, the plague maker stole your invention and used it to create a terrorist attack?" ”
"Not exactly."
Li Ang spread his hands and said: "That hairless bird is just a natural deformity concocted by me through genetic tampering, and its original body size is no more than half a meter. Moreover, there is a big problem with its internal circulatory system, and once it leaves the laboratory, it will suffocate to death because the outside air pressure is too low.
However, although those fungus blankets can alienate its body shape and strengthen its body, in essence, it is still the original structural design. ”
After that, a smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of Li Ang's mouth, and he said softly: "The technical level of the mastermind behind the scenes is passable, but unfortunately the imagination and creativity are not enough.
If it were me, I would be able to destroy New York and even the entire East Coast in three days with a plague that is extremely contagious, and even create a plague force that is strong enough to fight a modern army."
His tone was so nonchalant that it was as casual as if he were talking about what to eat for dinner.
So much so that Tony Stark on the side had to call intelligent AI to try to analyze whether the other party was joking when he said this sentence through the facial expression database.
At the same time, the battle in the sky has come to an end.
No matter how much the jet chickens agitated their abdominal cavity, they could not catch up with the F-35 fighter jets that actually launched the Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan engine, and could only watch the distance between the two sides get farther and farther away, eating dust all the way, and finally flapping its wings and flying back to the fungus carpet outside the Empire State Building, where it re-dormant.
And the Stark Building, which was hit by warplanes, also revealed its true face from the dense fog after the flames gradually extinguished.
Thanks to the Stark Group's industrial manufacturing capabilities, the headquarters of the building itself is designed and used in terms of advanced materials and materials, and the explosion caused by the warplanes only lifted one or two floors of the floor, destroying the offices on that floor.
The steel suit's detection equipment was quite advanced, and the damage could be easily distinguished, and even the intelligent AI Jarvis was not in a hurry to estimate the amount of damage for Stark to see.
"Luckily, no one was hurt."
Stark treated his subordinates very leniently, letting the low-level employees off work early, and the few remaining security personnel in the entire building have been evacuated to a safe place.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just thought about casually talking to Leon for a few more words, he flew back to the Stark Building, took all the important documents, scientific research equipment, and other steel suits inside out of Manhattan, and returned here for rescue work.
At this moment, a RAH-66 Comanche helicopter gunship swept through the sky and made a sharp landing in the middle of the road.
The propeller stirred up the wind and dust, and two heavily armed American soldiers jumped from the helicopter and stood on guard.
Then, from the cabin jumped a middle-aged, bald black man wearing a pitch-black blindfold, his suit well-cut to reflect his burly and tall body.
This person is none other than the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.
Nick's face tensed, his expression dark and deep, and he walked slowly and unarmed, as if he hadn't seen the corpse of a giant ape that had died tragically by the side of the road.
"Your Excellency, in accordance with the temporary regulations issued by FEMA's Federal Emergency Management Agency in the United States, S.H.I.E.L.D. is calling you up on a temporary basis."
As soon as they met, Director Fury said bluntly, "Please come with me immediately to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier to prepare for this plague." ”
"Sorry, Nick, I still have my own business to do"
Tony Stark frowned and said, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I also have my own lives and property to protect. ”
"Now is not the time for you to be willful, Mr. Stark."
Nick Fury didn't save any face for the playboy, and said indifferently: "The Federation is at a crisis juncture, and any force needs to be used centrally, and no one can stay out of it." ”
“...”
Tony Stark didn't squeak, and although he didn't have much affection for Nick Fury, the arms magnate was somehow a loyal patriot willing to sacrifice for the country.
"I can help you."
Tony nodded, and said in a deep voice, "But I'm going to get out of the Stark Mansion first..."
Nick Fury interrupted the other party's words and said directly: "We have sent someone to rescue the Stark Building, whether it is the scientific research equipment or the staff, they will be moved to a safe place immediately." ”
Iron Man immediately fell silent, what S.H.I.E.L.D. did not sound like a sincere disaster relief, but rather a bit of robbery.
You must know that the steel suits placed in the Stark Mansion are all military weapons that are a generation ahead, not to mention the Ark reactor model machine developed by Tony Stark himself.
S.H.I.E.L.D. said that it was a transfer of property, and at that time, in order to conduct in-depth analysis and imitation and reproduction, it may come up with some reason to prevaricate and block it, and completely detain this batch of goods.
"Yo, this is an infringement on the sacred private property of citizens, and it is not self-cooking at all."
Li Ang stood aside, looked at Iron Man who was stunned in place, spread his hands and said with a smile: "When did S.H.I.E.L.D. do this kind of work?" ”
"Under the current urgent situation, in order to protect the interests of the country and the safety of the people's lives and property, it is inevitable to use some vigorous and resolute means."
Nick Fury didn't care about the ridicule in the tone of the Chinese youth, and said indifferently: "Mr. Leon, the biotechnology you have is crucial to solving this plague. After all, with great power comes great responsibility. ”
Leon nodded and said nonchalantly, "I don't mind mental work, but you'd better tell me about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s specific plans." ”
Director Fury said in a deep voice, "We have gathered all the scientific research teams on the East Coast to investigate and analyze the plague itself.
At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. also plans to gather the transcendents who can be recruited to form a squad to find out who is behind this plague. ”
"This squad will make revenge their vocation and strike at the transcendent who harm ordinary people."
"The organization is called: The Avengers."
