Chapter 42: What the hell is the T-virus?

Time sometimes flies really quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Danny and Andrew have been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for three months, and Danny has just passed his nineteenth birthday in this life.

Speaking of which, Danny originally thought that after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., life would be different! For example, I do tasks everywhere all day long, or fight crime or something, but what I didn't expect is that life still hasn't changed much.

Of course, the only thing that has changed is that the four of Danny must find time to train every day, which is different from the training superpowers that everyone played around in the past, but the training plan specially sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to make a training plan for them.

Individual combat ability, field survival ability, team cooperation ability, weapon use ability, strategy and tactic formulation, etc., S.H.I.E.L.D.'s instructor corps simply wants to train them to be all-round agents, in Steve's words: we are men stronger than Zero Zero-Seven.

In the past three months, Danny and his people have been training every day tailored for them by the instructor team, which makes everyone a little miserable, you must know that Danny has been training for a month in a row during the winter vacation!

Of course, the instructor team also took into account that Danny was still a student, so he also reduced the amount of training during the school day, but this kind of good days are coming to an end, and in a few months, Danny and the others will graduate from high school.

Listening to Coulson, at that time, they will go to the combat academy under S.H.I.E.L.D. for intensive training, which means that now it is just some pediatrics, just to let Danny and the others have a preliminary understanding of something.

Speaking of Coulson, Danny hasn't seen him for a long time, since Danny and they joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson took them around S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Seattle base, and then systematically told them about S.H.I.E.L.D., and then found a group of agents as instructors, and left, seemingly busy with other tasks.

Later, Coulson came to see Danny a few times, but Danny didn't ask him what he was doing, because on the first day he joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson had talked about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s authority system.

This clearance system was developed by Agent Maria Hill, a Level 9 agent, who divided all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and missions into 10 levels, which do not represent status, but the degree of confidentiality, the higher the level of the mission, the more important the secrets it contains, and the agents need the corresponding level to understand the corresponding mission.

And Danny, although they have joined S.H.I.E.L.D., they are not officially S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and they are currently S.H.I.E.L.D. agent students! In Coulson's explanation, being a secret agent is a high-risk profession that requires training and certification.

While going to school, while conducting agent training, this is the main rhythm of Danny's life after they joined S.H.I.E.L.D., compared to the free life before, now it is like a cage, and even Danny has a feeling of taking the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Not to mention the two guys, Steve and Matt, who have complained more than once and want to go out and relax. It may be that the instructor corps heard the strong desire of the two, so they recently gave everyone a week off.

This made everyone very happy, and it happened that the school was also on spring break, Steve and Matt each took their girlfriends out to play, Andrew was planning to go to the hospital to take care of his mother, and even Danny wondered if he should call Eva and find a place to relax.

But a phone call forced Danny to give up his mind and rush to Stanford University in California alone.

The call was from Danny's grandfather, Burton Styler, and the elder Burton was very excited to ask Danny to come to him on the phone, but he didn't say what it was.

So, finally had a chance to take a vacation, but Danny could only get on a plane and came to Stanford, California.

Stanford University is one of the world's top private research universities, with an area of 8,180 acres and many campuses, and Danny is going to the Stanford X Research Center, which his grandfather chairs.

The X Research Center doesn't look good from the outside, but Danny knows that in Stanford, you should never judge people by their appearance, maybe the bad old man riding a bicycle on the side of the road is an academic master, or a man with glasses sitting on the side of the road munching on a hamburger, or some well-known tech tycoon.

"Knock knock!" Danny easily asked about his grandfather's office, and knocked on the door without letting the assistant inform him.

A clear voice came from inside: "Please come in!" ”

Pushing the door in, I saw a silver-haired old man with a big back comb, in front of the office desktop, eating pizza while looking at the information on the computer, and his focused appearance made Danny quickly close the door gently.

Seeing that the other party hadn't noticed him for a long time, Danny had to cough twice. The other party's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of coughing, Zou frowned, and raised his head to see who was speaking.

"Oh! Danny, you're here so soon. Seeing that it was Danny in the room, the old man said happily with a smile on his face.

Danny also replied with a smile: "Didn't you say something important on the phone?" So I got off the plane and came over. ”

"Then don't be in such a hurry, you must not have eaten, just in time, the authentic Italian pizza that was just delivered, my favorite, you used to like it too." The old man picked up the pizza box on the table and motioned for Danny to try a piece as well.

Danny wasn't very polite, just picked up a piece and took a bite, it tasted really good. "Grandpa, is there anything you called me in? Can't say it on the phone? I have to come in person. ”

"Isn't there anything I can't call you over? You're about to graduate from high school, and it's okay to come to Stanford to get acquainted with the environment, and besides, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. The old man said very unhappily when he heard Danny's complaint.

"Grandpa, how long has it been there, didn't you go there on my birthday? You've drunk a lot of my grandfather's good wine! Forgot about it so quickly! Remembering that at his birthday party, two old men quarreled over a bottle of wine, and Danny felt that the older a person is, the more childish his behavior becomes.

"Huh! Is that so? Ah! Don't mention those things, let's get down to business! Do you remember that amazing plant you found last time? You call it an umbrella. The old man felt that there was no need to mention the matter, and hurriedly changed the subject.

How could Danny forget about this, just three months ago, Danny and Paul, as well as Eva and Jasmine, planned to go on a wild trip and camp together, but they met the plot of "Fatal Bend" halfway, and then Danny went to Hobe Hot Springs Manor in order to find out the secret of the deformed.

There was a tribe of deformed people found nearby, and there was a magical plant left by the Indians, known as the "Guardian of the Tribe", and Danny told his grandfather, the Stanford professor in front of him, about it, and wanted him to study it.

Originally, Danny was supposed to go with his grandfather to find the magical plant, but the next day he heard the news that Andrew was injured, and Danny had to leave first, and then he almost forgot about it.

"Come to think of it, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? By the way, haven't asked you how you deal with those deformed people? Danny asked.

"What else can I do, I just called the police! Of course, I hid the "umbrella" and you from it, but only told the police that there was a group of people who had become deformed because of the sewage discharged from the paper mill. I remember a lot of media coverage of this at the time. The old man said happily as if he had done a prank.

Danny didn't expect his grandfather to be so unscrupulous and explain the whole thing like this, thinking that the bosses of those paper mills must not hate him to death!

"Back to the point, after I brought that amazing plant back, I kept researching it, and I didn't expect to make a very significant discovery." The old man said mysteriously to Danny.

Danny was also curious about what he had discovered, he had thought that the plant was not simple, and it could actually allow the Indians to create death warriors, although he had never seen a death warrior, but from the almost immortal bodies of those three monsters, it was not much different.

"That plant, in appearance, should belong to the shrub family, and it is indeed similar to an umbrella. However, my focus is on its perennial blood-colored flowers, which, according to your story, were relied upon by the Indians to create death warriors.

After my continuous experimental research, I found a mysterious substance in the blood-colored flower, which has never been found in the history of human science, I conducted various experiments and observations on this substance, and initially found that it has a miraculous effect.

When this substance enters the human body, it will strengthen the human body, and there seems to be no limit to strengthening, the only problem is that it needs to consume a lot of mental power of the human body, if the mental power is insufficient, people will have serious consequences because of mental damage, such as going crazy, losing reason, losing humanity, and becoming a humanoid monster.

And that's why the four families you mentioned can't succeed in creating death fighters, because the spiritual power of ordinary people can't support this substance at all. And the only three monsters that are close to the death warriors are cruel and bloodthirsty man-eating monsters, because they suffered a lot in the mental hospital, which stimulated their spirits and produced a lot of mental power, but unfortunately they were so crazy. ”

After listening to his grandfather's research, Danny blurted out directly: "T virus? According to the old man's research results, this is too similar to the T virus in the movie "Resident Evil", which can strengthen the human body, but if ordinary people are infected, they will lose their humanity due to mental breakdown and become a man-eating monster.

"T-virus? What is the T-virus, this is not as simple as a virus, it is not a virus, it is not contagious at all, okay! When the old man heard Danny talk about the virus, he was very unhappy and denied it.
