Chapter 149: Virus Cleansing
Eric could feel the life force rushing through his body, as if his blood vessels had been drained. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The upgraded armor was like a bottomless pit, eating away at his life with an astonishing appetite, and the moment he used his limit output, it became even more ferocious.
But as Eric himself said, he's put it all behind him now.
"Output power 150%...... Charge completed. β
The thermal vision beam shot by the Alpha Warframe suddenly thickened, and the deadlocked balance was instantly broken, and the red-hot ray was pushed inch by inch in the direction of the Omega armor. The red light lit up the night, and the clouds seemed to be on fire, like confetti flying with sparks, and the flames were fleeting in the thin air.
The Omega armor is also reaching its limit. Unlike Eric, he was unable to burst out beyond the limit of power output in such a way that he almost drained himself, and the body and Omega armor of the bionic body remained 100% stable when they were created, and the energy output could not exceed the maximum limit of 100%.
Although the armor had begun to mourn, and the white "S" on his chest had begun to flicker and disappear due to the lack of energy supply, he could still hold on for a while. There was still hope for him, and as long as he held out until Eric ran out of oil, it would be his victory.
However, with Eric's roar that almost pierced the sky, his last hope was dashed.
"Output power 200%...... Charge completed. β
The cold electronic sound of the Alpha armor was like the judgment of the Grim Reaper, and the expression of the android in the Omega armor almost twitched, and he cried out in panic, "Are you really going to die!?" β
Eric ignored it, and the laser beam from the eyepiece became more ferocious. The two red-hot beams merged together, as if they had turned into a raging river, and compared to it, the hot vision emitted by the Omega was like a trickle in a faucet, and in an instant it was drowned out by the roaring waves. The android yelled reluctantly, the armor turned into a silhouette in a red-hot glow, and the shell finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to melt.
Eric felt that he had almost shot his soul out in this blow, and when the heat vision beam was broken, his whole person seemed to be a hundred times lighter, and he couldn't feel his own weight anymore. The Omega armor was wrapped in a blazing flame, dragging a long, fiery trajectory towards the ground.
Eric was eager to see what would happen to him next, and if the androids inside had been scrapped, but unfortunately he ran out of energy. The Alpha armor finally returned to its dormant state after contributing all its strength, and the awakening accessories automatically peeled off and folded back into their briefcase form, falling with him from high in the air. The furious wind turned into a whip and whipped at his cheeks, and Eric felt suffocated, his oxygen-deprived brain as if it were about to be swallowed up by a tide called tiredness.
Then, his fall stopped, and he seemed to fall into his warm arms in a daze.
"What a mess." Raven caught him, his tone still not salty, like an audience member who had just finished watching a performance.
Eric closed his eyes and said lazily, "Ha, because I know you're coming." Sorry, that's it...... Let me sleep, I'm sleepy. β
He rubbed his head into Raven's arms very unceremoniously, and really fell into a deep sleep. Raven also had the rare opportunity not to throw him down unceremoniously, after all, he might really need to rest today.
The sub-Morcho supervirus event that swept through New York is finally coming to an end. Aegis succeeded in extracting antibodies from Eric's blood, and began mass production of the vaccine to deliver to all infected areas. The quarantine will take another twenty-four hours, but the spread of the virus has been suppressed and it should be fully under control tomorrow.
Aegis also sent to find the downed Omega armor, but found only a deep scorch mark with scorch marks, and both the armor and Dr. Charlotte's bionic body inside were missing.
The super-virus "Amozhuo" has been added to the list of the most dangerous things on Earth, and a portion of the samples have been kept on the Aegis mothership. Although the virus was brought under control, a complication remained. So far, most of the infected patients have been cured, but the preliminary estimate is that 3 percent of the patients still retain the superpowers conferred by the virus. A new group of superpowers has emerged, which is obviously not a good thing for Aegis and the government.
Patient Zero is a special case, his abilities are suppressed, but the virus is not cleared. No one knew who he really was, so he had to be temporarily imprisoned in the Three Flying Decorations of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. Scientifically speaking, his brain is completely dead, and scientists can't even determine what he is now.
Regardless, the matter ended temporarily.
Eric wasn't sure how long he had been asleep, and it felt like he'd slept all his life. The moment he opened his eyes, the blinding white light burned his retina for a while.
The body is still very heavy, just like just running a 10,000-meter marathon. He gasped and sat up against the head of the bed, realizing that he was in a hospital room. Raven changed into her black casual jacket and jeans, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, calmly flipped through an old book with a yellowed cover, and couldn't help but think of the mysterious witches in the movie.
"Wake up." She didn't lift her head, but spoke nonchalantly.
Eric stretched: "Shouldn't you hurry up and say to me, 'Not yet, your body can't force it up' or something?" β
Raven glanced away from the strange book and glanced at him.
"If I say that, you're going to lie back honestly?"
"No, it won't."
"I think so, so I just won't say it."
"But it can make people feel warm."
"Alrightβ" Raven said as she continued to hold her book, her tone unwavering, as if she were reading from a script, "-your body hasn't recovered yet, don't force it too much, you need to continue to rest." β
"No sincerity." Eric sighed, "I'll reluctantly accept it...... How long did I sleep? β
"Two days and two nights."
"So long?" Eric was surprised, "That virus ......"
"It's solved, thanks to you." Raven said, "Director Fury said that he would convey his thanks to you when you woke up. β
"Wait...... Two days and two nights? You won't ...... You've been here with me all the time, haven't you? β
Raven didn't speak for a long time, his head tilted to the side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Anyway...... The school was closed because of the virus, and I didn't have anything else to do......"
Although she couldn't see her expression, her increasingly small voice sounded inexplicably cute, and Eric couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you very much. One more thing......"
He paused, and became a little serious.
"It's called the 'Awakening Accessory', isn't it?" Raven finally put down the book and said, "Like I said, your mother gave it to me. She wants me to make a choice for you, to choose whether or not to leave this to you. Then she left, I don't know where she went, but it looks like she doesn't plan to come back just yet. β
"That's right." To her surprise, Eric didn't seem particularly concerned.
"Actually, there is one more thing that Mr. Stark and Director Fury have emphasized in particular." Raven hesitated, bit his lip, and said, "It's about that 'Awakening Accessory'...... It's better not to use that as much as possible. Mr. Stark said he would use it next time...... You may become something other than human. β
Eric took a deep breath.
Something other than human...... Is it?
