Chapter 115: Desperate Virus
Natasha Romanoff, codenamed Black Widow, is a top ES.I.E.L.D. agent and a superhero of the Avengers - of course, that's the original book, and she's not in this world so far. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but it's just missing such a title, and overall it doesn't hurt her gorgeous resume.
Natasha sat in the driver's seat of a red roadster, wildly driving the steel beast through the air, her red hair swaying violently backwards like a ball of flame. Eric sat in the passenger seat and squinted, the air flow like countless long whips rushing towards his face, and the strong air pressure was almost suffocating.
"So you've been working as a secretary by Stark's side all this time?" Eric asked, squinting.
"Uh-huh, almost." Natasha responded briefly.
"Why? Does Fury want Iron Man's technology? β
"Confidential."
It's really a difficult woman to communicate, and speaking is like squeezing toothpaste, as if saying a superfluous word will break her life.
Just thinking like this, the woman took the initiative to speak: "The director also mentioned about you. β
"Oh, really?"
"He said you are very capable, very rare and excellent, and you have immeasurable potential."
"How does it sound like it's time for a 'but' next?"
"But," Natasha said, indeed, "I don't think so highly of you. β
"I guess, because I didn't have a certificate from the Secret Service Academy?"
"Because you have no faith." Natasha said in a crisp tone, "For example, let me ask, do you have any reason to fight?" β
"Huh?"
"Other people like you under Aegis's attention, like Spider-Man and Iron Man, all have their own beliefs and reasons to fight, and do you? Just because of a whim? β
Eric was stunned, he had never thought about it.
Why fight? Dad gave him the armor of the Amodr, but now it seems that he was just being used, and Dad didn't expect anything from him, let alone let him use this thing to become a superhero and do something about it. In the same way, he does not want to atone for the blood of his past arms trafficking career, nor does he believe in Parker's belief that "with great power comes great responsibility".
Indeed, what he does with the power of armor is only by the will of his own free will.
"If you become a hero on a whim today, then you may be a criminal on a whim tomorrow." Natasha said unceremoniously, "That's why I said that such people can't be trusted." β
Eric snorted, ignoring her.
I didn't think it when I watched it through the screen, but when he really got along, he began to think like this - what an unhappy woman.
The two of them didn't speak again.
The roadster screeched to a halt outside the light brown building, and a bronze plaque with the word "FUTUREHARM" stood on the outer lawn. In the center of the building, a three-storey main building is built, and a single-storey annex is spread out on both sides, showing the symmetrical beauty of the building.
When the two stopped the car, the woman in the magenta shirt had been waiting at the door for a long time. Her long black hair was combed into a single ponytail, her legs were covered with old-fashioned office trousers, the waist of the pants was tightly tied to her slender waist and abdomen, and her long eyelashes had an intellectual glow in her eyes.
Natasha pushed the door and got out of the car, strode on it with a compelling aura, and asked in an almost interrogative tone, "Is it Dr. Hansen?" β
"It's me, Maya Hansen." Maya shook Natasha's hand, "I heard you're coming...... But everything I can offer has already been told to the police. β
"You just have to tell us again."
Natasha said, following Maya inside, waving to Eric without looking back. For a moment, Eric felt like a smear who followed Natasha and poured tea and water.
"It was horrible." As Maya led the two of them through the hallway, she said with trepidation, "All of a sudden there was a burst of gunshots, and when I went to check on his office, he was already dead." β
"Who?"
"Killian, Aldridge Killian, our lead investigator in bioelectric microrobotic surgery." "The body had been taken away, it was so scary, his skull had been pierced by a pistol, and blood was all over the table. β
"His computer is still here?"
"Yes, but we can't crack the code." "The police said they would send someone else to take it later. β
"Take us to see it."
"Okay."
"You know Stark is missing, right?" Natasha asked again.
"Hmm...... I saw it in the news, it was terrible. β
"And you happen to be the last person to call a minute before he disappeared, it's really not a coincidence."
"I ..... I do not know. β
"You mentioned on the phone that you needed Iron Man's help." Natasha asked, "If it's just a case of a researcher committing suicide, why would Iron Man be needed?" β
Maya Hansen looked at the two of them for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
"Okay." "Actually, we know why Killian committed suicide because of a recent invention that has transcendent significance...... We named it the 'Desperate Virus'. β
Eric, who had been listening to the back, narrowed his pupils.
Desperate Virus!
He finally remembered why no source of explosion could be found at the blasting site, because the bombs were all living people! People who have been injected with the Desperate Virus will gain superhuman physical strength and extremely strong self-healing ability, but its side effect is that it is very unstable, like a reactor with an uncontrollable temperature, which may overheat and explode at any time. But even with such flaws, it is indeed an invention worthy of the title of "cross-generational significance".
"When I first created the 'desperate virus', I hoped that it would be able to overcome all the diseases that are currently difficult to overcome in medicine." Maya sighed, "I didn't expect it to be like this. β
"Someone wants to weaponize it." Eric said, "It's a clichΓ©. β
Maya nodded, "A week ago, a sample of the Desperation Virus was stolen. Before committing suicide, Killian had already admitted that he had leaked the virus, but we don't know who the buyer was or what they wanted the virus to do...... We don't even know how bad it is. I saw unidentified explosions happening across the country on the news, and I knew it was my virus......"
"So you want to find Iron Man." Eric said, "You want Iron Man to wipe your ass." β
"And now Stark is missing, and a similar explosion has occurred at the scene." Natasha said, "It doesn't sound like it's hard to make associations. β
"I ...... I might be able to help. "If it was really the people who were injected with the Desperate Virus who took Mr. Stark...... I feel like I can try to locate them. β
