Chapter 263: Reactions from all sides
At the Afghan garrison base, it was an hour later when Colonel Roddy and his colleagues heard the news of Tony Stark's attack. When the U.S. military sent reinforcements to arrive at the destination, they only found the corpses of the U.S. troops and traces of the battle all over the ground, but did not find Tony Stark himself, which made them very remorseful and angry, you must know that Tony Stark is a very important figure in the United States, not only because he is the smartest inventor and arms dealer in this century, but also because it is his brother, Adam Stark, who is the organizer of the Justice League - Superman!
"Check the battlefield now and find Tony Stark at all costs," James Rodi shouted with a frown.
"The soldiers are investigating, and I think we should get the news back to the United States, after all, it's not a trivial matter!" Another U.S. military officer at the scene said in a deep voice.
"If I remember correctly, Tony's route is very secretive, and we are the bait!" Roddy asked, "But why would they be ambushed here?" β
After hearing this, the officer said, "Do you suspect that someone between us betrayed my brother?" β
"That's all I have to think about now, otherwise, who else might know this route?" Roddy asked.
"Sir, we've found Mr. Tony Stark's phone, over there!" A soldier ran over and reported: "And according to our analysis of the situation on the spot, it is very likely that Mr. Stark was taken by them, and he is still alive!" β
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a blessing in disguise, I hope those guys are asking for money, or something, and it won't hurt Tony himself." β
"As long as he's alive, we have a chance to rescue him!" The U.S. officer also nodded and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
On the other side, on the U.S. mainland, a military general was shocked when he heard the news that Tony Stark was likely to be kidnapped. You must know that these high-level people know that the meteorite crisis they encountered before has not passed, and Superman is trying to solve this problem, but at such a time, their work went wrong, and the younger brother of the family was robbed under their protection.
"How can this be, or shall we hide this news first?" When a member of the council heard the news, he hesitated.
"No, send the best agents to solve this matter immediately!" Another general said angrily: "This is simply a provocation to the US military, we must catch the murderer this time and punish him severely, otherwise, anyone will jump out and provoke us!" β
"But the problem now is that Tony Stark is in their hands, he is no ordinary hostage, as long as he is still in the hands of the robbers, we have no way at all" Another congressman said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, please make a decision, what should we do at this time?" β
"This matter can't be hidden, otherwise, when Superman comes back, he will be dissatisfied with us" Bush Jr. put his hands on his chin and said: "And for the safety of Tony Stark, it is best to let the Justice League or other super hero teams come to the rescue, although this is detrimental to the reputation of our US military, but this matter can only be done like this"
Hearing Bush Jr.'s words, the others thought about it and agreed. After all, it is not an ordinary person who is missing now, but the most powerful superpower known on the earth, although the other party has always treated them very gently, and has always abided by the American legal system, but the devil knows what kind of things will happen if this thing goes wrong, everyone has not forgotten the scene at the funeral of the Howards a few years ago, if it weren't for Tony Stark's voice, God knows if it was Superman or another demon on the earth.
"Since everyone has no other opinions, then this matter has been decided first, in addition to notifying the Justice League, we will also notify the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, so that they can also investigate, and let the people of the Justice League know our determination!" George W. Bush finally ordered.
In the watchtower, Athena and Dr. Reed are analyzing a set of data from the back of the group, while Susan is quietly staying by each other's side, after all, she is just an assistant, and she doesn't know anything too professional. Professor X and the others had already gone back, because even if they stayed here, it wouldn't be of much help, after all, there was a specialization in the art industry, and the study of celestial bodies in the X Academy was not as good as Susan, so they went back first and helped the police on the ground to watch the supervillains who were about to move.
"Damn, at this time!" At this moment, Athena, who was conducting data analysis with Dr. Reed, suddenly paused and scolded softly.
Susan asked, "Athena, what happened?" β
"Tony has an accident," Athena frowned, "When I was returning from a weapons demonstration in Afghanistan, I was ambushed and robbed in a valley. β
"Let the professor do it, he should be able to find Tony's whereabouts quickly," Susan suggested.
Athena nodded and said, "Now it's the only way to go, but something happened at this time, and I don't know who did it!" Damn it. After that, he contacted Professor X and told him about Tony.
When Professor X heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Athena, don't worry, Mr. Tony, I'll help you check it out." β
After thanking Professor X, Athena disconnected from contact and said to Susan: "Professor X has promised us to look for it, and it should be no problem for him to take action himself, but now I just don't know what the master is doing, whether there is any danger." β
Susan walked to the window, looked into the distance and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten hours, and the meteorite seems to have stopped advancing." Hopefully they will be able to come back safely. β
"It worked, haha! The analysis is complete. At that moment, a very joyful voice interrupted the two men, and Susan turned to see that it was her fiancΓ©, Dr. Reed, who was high-fived with joy, apparently from the cry he had just made.
Athena walked over and looked at the computer screen and said, "It's been analyzed, I'll see, hey, what's going on?" β
Dr. Reed had gradually calmed down at this time, and said, "That's right, as you imagined, that meteorite is not a product of nature, but an acquired thing. β
"So, is the record on the previous mural true?" Susan asked.
"Hey, what mural?" Dr. Reed wondered.
Athena called up the image sent by Superman and them before, and said: "That's it, Superman found these things on the meteorite before, according to the above records, this meteorite island is the place where the Zerg used to seal the symbiote beasts. β
"And such a thing?" Dr. Reed looked at the mural in surprise and said, "It turns out that we are really not alone in this universe, such a brilliant civilization, I really want to see it."
Susan patted Dr. Reed and said, "It's not about these things now, since the composition of the meteorite has been analyzed, can this meteorite be blasted?" Are there any other side effects? β
Dr. Reed came to his senses after being slapped by his fiancΓ©e, and when he heard the other party's question, he immediately replied: "According to the information I detected, this meteorite can be separated by blasting, and then let it move away from the earth, I have conducted several tests before, and there are no side effects of blasting." β
"In that case, now we can only wait for news from the four of them." Susan listened and said.
"You mean, the four of them have already gone inside the altar?" Dr. Reid asked.
Athena nodded and said, "That's right, they've been in for more than ten hours, and according to your information and some information on the mural, Doctor, it's certain that the four of them have already encountered the symbiote beast recorded on it!" Maybe they're fighting them."
"You're saying that there really are symbiotes on the island?" Susan asked.
"Only in this way can we explain why Superman and the other four people haven't come out yet" Athena frowned and said, "Our side is too far away to conduct further inspections, so we can only wait here for their news!" (To be continued.) )
