Chapter 259: A Meteorite Strikes
It's been four months since the last party, which can be regarded as a very peaceful few months, these days, in addition to attending a series of meetings and press conferences, Riadam has been focusing on building the Justice League's headquarters, the watchtower, and finally completed the work ten days ago, and successfully tested the teleportation function.
Since that day, the security in New York City seems to have improved a lot, because as long as every time something happens, the Justice League members can always arrive quickly, and Adam, as the spokesperson of the Justice League, revealed the existence and some functions of the watchtower to the public in the news released a few days ago.
Of course, there were some objections in the next few days, thinking that the presence of such a thing as a watchtower on their heads would make them feel uneasy, and that their lives were being watched very badly and so on, but in the end, Adam came forward to ensure that the watchtower would not be used for such a boring aspect, and it made some people shut up, because that day Adam said the most arrogant sentence since his debut (superhero is also his debut) - if I really want to spy on you, you will not know at all, And I'm not going to talk to you about that here.
"I noticed that after you woke up, something changed," Maria Hill said with emotion as she waited for him to leave.
"Really? People are always going to become, I just figured things out and didn't want to argue with those politicians," Adam laughs.
"But don't you think you're depriving them of their right to speak freely?" Mariahiel frowned and asked, "You weren't like that before. ”
"If you know how big the universe is, then you can change your mind a little bit, I don't want to be a dictatorship, a word or anything like that, because I don't have any interest in it, all I want is to act as a protector until the earth is fully ready" Adam stopped and said, "You can talk to those people about me." The earth is just an unexplored place in this vast universe, but there are already some aliens or powerful people in the universe who are paying attention to the earth, so I don't have time to chat with politicians, I need to do some foolproof measures, I hope they don't lag behind! ”
Maria Hill asked, "Is it really that serious?" ”
"You're more serious than you thought," Adam sighed and said, "Even I, in front of some cosmic powerhouses, am like a little child. There is no force of one blow. ”
"Well, I'll pass on your words to the commissioners as they are," Maria Hill nodded.
"Well, so be it, I'll leave first, and if there's any new news, remember to inform me." After saying that, Adam left the meeting site, so those who were looking for trouble behind the scenes were also after that reply. It never happened again.
In the past few days, because Athena has been well managed by Athena, Adam has not continued to go to work and live the life of an otaku. After all, New York City doesn't need him to do anything now, with Spider-Man during the day and superheroes like Punisher, Night Stalker and Daredevil at night, there is no need to worry at all. So Adam went back to the watchtower once in a while. I've been staying at home researching something, or I'm traveling around with Christine, and it seems that I want to make up for a year's worth of romantic dates.
this day. Adam and Christine, who had just returned from a trip to France, received a call from Pepper saying that they would come over tonight for a party, which was one of the more important parties for Stark Industries, so Adam and Christine promised her to arrive on time.
"Pepper wants you to call Tony," Christine laughed.
Adam shrugged and said, "From what I know about Tony, if I don't call him, he probably won't be there tonight, and I'll have Obadiasthan go up to claim the award." ”
Afterwards, Adam called Tony with some reluctance and told Tony very clearly that if Tony hadn't arrived at the scene by the time they passed, Adam would let him experience a free tour from Earth to the watchtower.
In the evening, in a large hall, inventors and entrepreneurs from all over the world sat down and watched the large screen in the front desk, on which Tony Stark's brief introduction and some of his inventions were playing, because he had won one of the more precious awards tonight. Because Adam was here tonight, Tony was not absent this time, but sat next to him impatiently.
"I really don't know what is so good about this kind of awards ceremony that already knows the results?" Tony pouted.
"I know it's not interesting, but after all, people have awarded you trophies, so you should respect them," Adam said helplessly.
"But it's a waste of time, and I can win a lot of money in this time," Tony saw that the person talking on the other side seemed to look at him, and quickly showed some smiles to the other person, and then changed back to his unmotivated appearance.
"Are you short of money?"
"It's boring to talk to someone like you, ah, it's finally time for me to go up, I need to end this boring party quickly" said Tony got up, showed that mocking smile, and walked to the front desk.
"I think he's going to make headlines again" Christine looked at Tony and smiled: "You don't know how much some of my celebrity friends hate him, stealing the front page every time, and using that kind of dispensable news"
"Then let them be envious, jealous and hate," Adam shrugged and said, "Tony is a gossip and topic making machine, wherever he goes, someone will report to everything, fortunately we won't be bothered by such things"
"How dare you say that" Christine covered her mouth and laughed, "Who made Athena interfere so that those reporters couldn't take pictures of us"
Talking and laughing, Tony has already won the trophy, and the master of ceremonies reminded him to say a few words, of course, according to the usual rules, everyone who goes up will first thank the organization that gave out the award, and then give some of their own feelings, but when it comes to Tony's side, everything will change.
"Ah, what do you need me to say?" With the trophy in his hand, Tony shrugged and said, "I feel like I'm holding this trophy now, it's just too awkward." You know, my hands aren't meant to hold this thing, well, it's so ugly, it looks like I'm going to have to remind the organizers that next time I get a trophy that's a little more beautiful, there's nothing new in my hand."
The representative of the organizer originally smiled and changed his face instantly, but after all, the other party was Tony Stark, in addition to the most powerful inventor of this century, he was also the owner of Stark Industries, and they didn't dare to offend each other, so they had to smile with their faces.
"Oh my God, I knew it was going to be," Adam said, covering his face, "I kind of regret forcing him here." ”
"But I think he's right," Christine laughed, "that trophy of theirs is really ugly."
At this moment, Adam's mobile phone suddenly began to vibrate, and Adam picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from Athena, which said that the detector of the watchtower had found a giant meteorite, and after calculating the orbit, it was found that it would collide with the Earth in 26 hours.
Adam frowned, stood up, and said to Christine, "Let's go, something happened" After speaking, he nodded apologetically to the people around him, and prepared to leave with Christine.
Tony immediately thanked him and tossed the trophy to Obadiastein, while he trotted after Adam and Christine.
"What happened?"
"Athena found a meteorite, well, about the size of New York City" Adam quickly explained: "Christine and I went over to analyze the situation, don't worry"
Tony frowned after hearing this, and said, "If you need help, you must tell me, I remember that the weapon system of the watchtower is not fully perfect, I can help"
"Don't worry, if you need help, I'll tell you" Adam smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to like this kind of party so much, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that every time they use my fame for publicity, I'm a little unaccustomed to it, since you're all gone, I'll leave too" Tony smiled and said, "By the way, remember to tell me if you have news, I haven't heard of such a big meteorite"
As he spoke, they had already reached the door, and Adam nodded, "Understood, I'll leave you a video, well, we should go!" With that, a pale blue light flashed, and Adam and Christine just vanished.
Tony touched his chin and said, "This one seems to be much better than Athena's portal, why don't you try it again?" Forget it, I'll talk about it later. With a sloquing to himself, Tony woke up the bodyguard waiting at the door and left the place, and the beautiful nightlife had just begun.
Time passed slowly a little more than an hour, at this time, the astronomical centers of other countries have also discovered the news of a huge meteorite approaching the earth, and have held a meeting overnight to discuss the solution to the problem, but before they can figure out how to solve the problem, a letter from the Justice League made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that what he said is true, but the watchtower has played a very good role this time," US President George W. Bush said with emotion as he looked at the Justice League's letter.
"Yes, we just discovered the meteorite here, Superman, they have already figured out a strategy" The British Prime Minister nodded, "but can they really succeed?" After all, this time the meteorite is huge."
"Now at this time, we can only trust them" The chairman of Huaxia looked at the letter in front of him and said: "But we can't just look at nothing and do nothing, make some preparations, we have an old saying over there, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" (To be continued.) )
