Chapter 69: Collapse
What about New Yorkers who have already begun to be eaten away by the strain?
The question raised by Tony Stark made the atmosphere of the entire Helicarrier extremely depressing, and even Director Nick Fury couldn't bite the bullet and say empty clichés.
After all, it was Captain America who broke the silence, he stared at the amphibious landing ships slowly approaching from the coastline, and said softly: "Mr. Leon, those people, how long do you have left?" ”
Li Ang discussed with other experts and said through the microphone: "Even if we can find a preparation to solve the strain immediately, it will take at least 10 hours to produce, transport, and inject the bactericidal drug in batches."
The time for the strain to achieve irreversible decay damage to the human body is 11-14 hours after inhalation of the spores. ”
That said, there is not much time left for the Avengers.
Captain America took a deep breath, as a good soldier, he would not try to resist or resist the footsteps of the American army, it was completely meaningless.
The reality is not like the hot-blooded anime in the island country, where two empty vernacular words can be used to force out a happy ending with the so-called "blood" and "will".
Sacrifice is necessary.
He smiled bitterly and slowly walked towards the swaying Kabbalah Tree of Life.
"Steven, what are you doing?" Iron Man frowned and whispered, "Come back." ”
Captain America didn't look back, just raised his arms so his teammates didn't have to worry.
He took the shield inlaid with a white five-pointed star, and slowly pasted it with the edge of the shield.
The strains that make up the bark are squeezed and retreat to the sides, attempting to corrode the shield with tentacles contaminated with the venom of the pathogen.
However, the shield forged from primitive Edelman metal and vibranium was so strong that it was steadfastly chiseled into the trunk of the tree under the impetus of the American team's long-term superhuman strength.
The screams coming from the trunk of the tree were so sharp that it was like a thousand slender fingers cutting through the blackboard with their fingernails.
The whole tree shook, and the spores that shook from between the branches and leaves became thicker, like a thick fog that could not be dissolved under the glare of the flashlight.
Twenty-two tree roots wriggled and twitched, gathering strength and swinging at Steve like a whip.
The Avengers members who were anxiously watching from the sidelines finally made a move, and Iron Man violently controlled the suit to take off, and the energy cannon in his hand poured down, breaking the roots of the tree that were drawn towards Captain America in two.
The tendrils fell to the ground, still tumbling, and Hawkeye pulled the high-strength compound bow in his hand into a full moon, and the three arrows lined up in a volley, nailing the tendrils firmly into the cement.
And Thor, the god of thunder, who is suspected of being a women's clothing boss, is not willing to be subservient, and stomps heavily on the ground, stepping on the fungus blanket out of the cobweb cracks, all the way to the edge of the rooftop.
Around the hammer, there was an electric python and thunder snake moving and moving, and Xuan He was blessed with a thunderbolt, and Thor stepped forward, wrapped in ten thousand powers, and smashed it on the trunk of the fungus.
If it weren't for the dense roots and deep chiseled into the reinforced concrete, I am afraid that the strain tree would have been carried by its own weight and fell from the top of the Empire State Building.
As soon as the Avengers took a breath, they felt the building under their feet gradually shake and tremble, and this majestic human building more than four hundred meters high actually had a tendency to overturn.
The entire tall building, wrapped in a blanket of fungus, fell to one side like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The flies-like avengers on the rooftop are also like grains of rice on a plate, sliding along the edge under the action of gravity.
Hawkeye took out arrows and stuck them into the ground, and he was able to keep his balance on the sturdy arrows, while Black Widow could only pull out the dagger from his calf and chisel into the fungus blanket, relying on the fungus blanket to slow down the fall.
Rao was like this, there was still a sharp cry from the trunk of the fungus tree, and Captain America tried his best to stabilize his body, picked up the vibranium shield, and smashed it into the tree like a madman, trying to cut it open.
All the fungus blankets fell into a state of rage, spontaneously weaving into thick tentacles, strangling Black Widow's hands, feet, limbs, and dragging her deeper into the carpet.
Seeing that his companions were about to stage a tragic scene, Bruce Banner in the Avengers finally gave up his hesitation and jumped from a tall building, falling, falling.
Syllable!
More than 400 meters of acceleration was enough for flesh to shatter into minced flesh, and Bruce Banner smashed a humanoid depression into the ground, the crushed fungus blanket dripping with viscous venom.
Suddenly, a green palm came out of the pit.
The owner of this palm is the other side of Bruce Banner hidden under the ordinary appearance, the other half.
Its name is Hulk, Hulk.
"Roar!!"
A roar suddenly sounded, symbolizing the furious, burly, rough, savage Hulk crawling out of the pit and looking at the slowly crumbling tall building.
Hulk bowed down, and the high-strength jeans that Bruce Banner was deliberately wearing were now in tatters with thick legs.
The huge soles of the feet stepped nakedly on the fluffy fungus blanket, and the deadly venom in the fungus blanket did not penetrate the Hulk's rough skin at all, but was crushed into powder by the green soles.
Hulk gathered his strength, then leaped to his feet.
With the help of the momentum, the Hulk soared into the air, grasping the reinforced concrete wall of the Empire State Building with his palm, clasping a large piece of debris as he climbed up again.
After a few breaths, he had reached the rooftop, and when he glanced at it, he saw that the black widow was wrapped in the tentacles of the fungus carpet and gradually sunk in.
"Roar!"
Hulk's fury was uncontrollable, his blood racing, his tendons throbbing wildly, his fist raised, and he slammed it on the rooftop.
With just one punch, the entire rooftop was divided into two with the fist mark as the middle line, tearing apart alive.
The aftermath of the violence even continued to spread, shattering countless high-strength glasses and shattering the reinforced concrete structure of the high-rise building, which had been inherited for more than 70 years.
The dense blanket of fungus, like thunder, stiffened and motionless, allowing the black widow trapped in it to escape.
In the distance, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, which had been cut in half, also stopped struggling, as if it was half frozen in place.
The Empire State Building seemed to have been sucked off its backbone, and it was falling like a toppling trend.
Iron Man swooped down, scooped up Captain America, and flew out of the rooftop,
Thor wields a hammer and flies with the help of the hammer to scoop up Hawkeye and Black Widow and leave the overturned Empire State Building.
Hulk also relied on his indestructible body to jump directly off the tall building, and the meteorite smashed to the ground.
The Avengers, who had regrouped in the streets, looked up.
