Chapter 507: Provocation
Avengers Mansion.
Half a day ago, the Avengers raided AIM's base in Mumbai. The raid was a complete victory, capturing two senior AIM leaders and a group of combatants, and seizing a large number of high-tech weapons. But this raid also raises new questions for the Avengers.
Tony Stark has always been conceited, admitting that AIM is at the forefront of technology and is second to none in the world as a scientific organization, but he has always scoffed at the weapons they can use to fight him on the battlefield. But even he had to feel a sense of crisis this time.
The strange rifle in the hand of the AIM officer temporarily paralyzed Tony's brand-new armor with a single shot. Afterwards, he did a detailed analysis of that energy, and found that it was not that it was too powerful to make the armor crash, but that its nature was too strange and attacked the built-in computer of Iron Man's armor from the system level. And his built-in computer had to cut off the power and restart itself in order to protect himself.
Don't look at it as just a gun, but if its strange energy properties and strange technology are applied on a large scale, the effect will be unimaginable. As a result, Tony took the matter quite seriously, and on his way back he tried to parse the energy readings, and brought it up at the Avengers' council upon his return.
After briefly showing the crowd some data, Tony said, "I thought this technique was quite dangerous, but after further analysis, I realized that it might be even more terrifying than I thought. I parsed the gun thoroughly, noticing that the energy inside the gun seemed to come from a much more powerful individual. ”
"How powerful?" The captain asked.
Tony thought for a moment and said, "If the energy in this gun is compared to a drop of water, then its source may be the sea." Believe me, this analogy is not exaggerated at all, and it may even be more exaggerated. ”
"We've dealt with AIM many times," Ant-Man proposed, "and they're great, but they've never behaved ...... That's amazing. ”
"That's exactly what I thought, Pym." "It's very weird, and I honestly don't think it's AIM's own research product. I'm more inclined to think that they found something else by chance, something very powerful, and I would venture to speculate that it might be something extraterrestrial. ”
"That's the case, that's our new trouble." "It's as if we're not in enough trouble so far." ”
The captain said, "But in any case, if they do gain any new power, they will definitely not be silent. They may be able to act in the near future, and we have to make sure that we are always ready for any eventuality. ”
"You're right, Captain, very much." Tony said, turning off the virtual screen, getting up and tidying up his shirt, and said, "I'll keep Jarvis on track, and if there's any big move, I'm sure Aegis will let us know as well...... Inform us to clean up the mess. But before that, I have a tech show to host. ”
Elsewhere in a certain secret.
In the dimly lit room, as always, several figures sat around a round table, each representing a vast organization that could easily stir up waves in the world.
This was supposed to be a regular meeting between the major organizations, and the delegates only exchanged information about the recent cooperation between various forces and the information found by their respective intelligence networks, and the first ten minutes or so were quite calm. Halfway through the meeting, a man in the dark suddenly said, "Speaking of which, we have provided you with such a large amount of resources in so many ways, and you still haven't come up with an accurate number, I'm afraid it's not very reasonable, Murdoch?" ”
A dark silhouette on the side of the table moved forward a little, and the comical silhouette was indeed the leader of AIM, the big-headed Murdoch. A year ago, they were given significant resources by a number of participating forces and organizations to invest in AIM to complete a huge project that would be of great significance to all of the forces present, and which, if completed, would bring unimaginable benefits to any of them.
Facing the torch-like gaze of the allies, Murdoch did not panic at all and asked, "What, can't you wait?" ”
The man said, "I seem to hear people say, that project is done?" I've been waiting for you to take the initiative to share this good news with you...... But you don't seem to mean that. Why, you took everyone's money, but you plan to take the fruits for yourself? ”
Another dark shadow crossed Erlang's leg and said, "I have also heard about it, and I heard that the project has been completed, and I can trust the intelligence source." So Murdoch, would you mind explaining? ”
Murdoch didn't intend to hide it, the reason why he waited for these people to take the initiative to ask questions was to test which forces had eyeliner under him. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, well, I'll admit, you're really well-informed. Yes, the cube has been completed, it would have been in the final testing phase......"
After hearing the first half of his words, everyone involuntarily straightened up and approached the table, but after hearing it, they couldn't help but change color, and asked, "What does 'originally' mean?" ”
Murdoch let out a long sigh, his tone tinged with unspeakable chagrin. He said: "The reason why I didn't tell everyone is because I feel ashamed of everyone and it's hard to speak. As you know, you've probably heard that just twelve hours ago, one of our AIM bases was raided by the Avengers. I don't know who leaked the news and brought in the Avengers, but if I were caught, I'd be sure to shred the leaky lackey! ”
When everyone heard this, most of them had already guessed, but they still asked, "Why, that thing was taken by the Avengers?" ”
Murdoch nodded sadly: "Not bad." Others don't necessarily know the goods, but that Stark guy is very shrewd, and he can't hide what the cube is. I'm at least eighty percent sure that things are in Stark's hands now! ”
There was silence in the conference room, and all the bigwigs fell into deep thought, all of them making their own calculations, but at the same time their eyes swept around the others very alertly. From time to time, skeptical eyes fall on Murdoch, and it seems that everyone does not fully believe his words.
And of all of them, Murdoch's breathing was particularly heavy, and his heart was like beating a drum. And for someone who feels like they've just lied to the most dangerous and probably the most shrewd people in the world, that's right.
"I'll believe you once." An old man said coldly, "It's just an avenger, just snatch it back from him." But if I find out you're lying, Murdoch, you know the consequences. ”
"Yes, of course." Murdoch said, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
