Chapter Forty-Five: The Ambrera Umbrella
"Then how did you and Magneto meet? Do you know? Thinking that his grandfather had been in contact with Magneto, Danny wanted to know what was going on.
Old Luther thought for a while, fell into a memory and said: "It's very simple, Magneto is here to seek, about twenty years ago, Magneto suddenly came to the door, we talked for a long time, he said a lot about the relationship between mutants and humans, and then said that mutants have suffered significant losses and need funds and strength to recover slowly. ”
"And then! Did you give it to him? Danny asked.
"Why don't you give it, although he is not a good person, but he is a very interesting person and has faith, I think it is very worthwhile to help him, and I owe him a favor, I got a lot of gold from him at a very low price." Old Luther laughed.
Danny really didn't expect that Magneto actually had such a connection with the Williams family, he knew that when Magneto was young, he followed the Black King Sebastian Shaw and got a lot of gold collected by the Nazis.
"Did you ever get in touch with each other?" Danny asked again.
"No, he's been gone for more than 20 years, maybe he's dead, I saw that he was injured at the time, and his face was not good." Luther Sr. sighed, as if remembering an old friend. "Don't talk about him, today is mainly about you, and you're not a mutant, so there's no need to care about this."
Although Danny is not a mutant, he knows that there are many metamorphosis among mutants, especially Phoenix Girl, an omega-level super mutant who can destroy the earth with one person, which makes him have to pay attention.
"Don't talk about that, mutants have become fewer and fewer in recent years, and they are rarely heard of. The most important thing now is to solve Danny's problem, old Luther, do you have any plans? Old Burton said hurriedly.
"Yes, Danny's problem is serious, old Burton, you said that the mysterious substance of the umbrella has the potential to solve the problem, right?"
Old Burton said with a sad face: "That's what I said, but this is completely speculation!" I can't guarantee Danny's safety without testing, and what if the current problem is solved, but what if something new happens? ”
Using a mysterious substance to solve the hidden danger of superpowers is just a conjecture of Danny, Danny's mental power is constantly growing, and if it continues, he will die of a physical collapse in a month.
And the mysterious substance has a property, that is, it absorbs a large amount of spiritual power to promote the evolution of the human body, and Danny happens to have super powerful spiritual power, and in a way, it can indeed solve hidden dangers, but the problem is that all this is just speculation.
"So, I ask you, what if you can find a test similar to Danny's? Can you get the results? Luther Sr. asked.
"Just kidding, where are you going to find a test specimen similar to Danny's, it's not something money can buy." Old Burton sneered, as if he remembered something, and looked at Old Luther in surprise: "You mean the rest of the Super Clan, but they are Danny's friends!" ”
Danny was also stunned when he heard this, seeing his grandfather's plan, he wanted to use Andrew and them as experiments, let them accept the transformation of the mysterious substance first, and let his grandfather collect data to ensure the safety of the experiment.
"No! Grandpa, they're good friends of mine, and I can't treat them as test subjects. Danny said hurriedly.
"Danny Williams, you have to remember, family and other things aside, it's more important to your family than anything else that you're still alive, and as for your so-called friends, I'd love to treat them as your friends until you put yourself in danger, but they took you to that damn hole." Seeing Danny's refusal, old Luther said angrily.
Hearing Old Luther's words, Danny didn't know what to say, could he tell everyone that he had known about the magic crystal for a long time, so he deliberately followed Andrew and them.
"Don't worry! Danny, I'll be careful, and I said earlier that it's dangerous, just because I don't dare to use it on you for the first time, and if I have the observation data for the whole process, I can be sure that there is a ninety percent chance of success. Old Burton said comforting Danny.
Seeing that his grandfather also agreed to this matter, Danny knew that he couldn't change anything, not to mention, his father Sam, who was sitting next to him, also secretly pulled his clothes to make him agree.
Danny doesn't know what to do, on the one hand, death is approaching, on the other hand, friendship, this kind of choice is painful for anyone, for a friend to stick a knife in both ribs, Danny can do it, but for the sake of a friend, it is a bit of a test for him.
It was impossible for him not to care about his own life and to be the first experimenter of a mysterious substance.
"So be it! Old Burton, you prepare the experiment as soon as possible, Danny, you go and inform your friends, as for how to notify, it's up to you, I don't care what method you use, you have to bring them over, if you can't, I'll send someone, don't think that with superpowers, I can't deal with them.
Also, old Burton, this experiment can't continue to be done here, I'll ask Bill to arrange for the family's secret laboratory for you, and give you a batch of ** for you when the time comes, I know you don't like this kind of thing, but for Danny's sake, I want you to collect some more data, and make sure that nothing happens. ”
When old Luther had said this, he looked at Danny. Danny also understood what Luther Sr. meant by living subjects, that is, ordinary humans.
Danny thought about refusing, but after thinking about it, there was no reason, although those ordinary ** had zero chance of surviving in this trial, but all this was to collect accurate data as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Andrew and Danny.
You must know that there is only one month left in the time, and it is impossible to have time to experiment slowly and continuously, and only by relying on a large number of lives and trying as soon as possible can it be possible to find the problem.
Besides, Danny is not a benevolent person, he doesn't want Andrew to become a test subject, because he has a relationship, and those ** Danny don't know at all, it's just a kind of conscience, but unfortunately, in order to live in this dangerous world, conscience or something is completely superfluous.
"This problem is solved, so let's talk about why you want to join S.H.I.E.L.D." Old Luther continued.
Danny actually wondered from the beginning why everyone expressed strong anger at him for joining S.H.I.E.L.D., as if he had caused a heinous disaster.
Hearing Luther Sr. ask him why he joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Danny told him the whole process and analysis of his contact, negotiation, cooperation, and finally joining S.H.I.E.L.D.
After listening to Danny's explanation and analysis, everyone fell silent until old Luther said, "Old Burton, Sam, do you have any thoughts after listening?" ”
"Huh! After listening to it, it doesn't feel like the style of S.H.I.E.L.D.! When did S.H.I.E.L.D. become so easy to speak, cooperate when it says it will cooperate, join when it says it will join, and there are no requirements for anything, is it that the news I heard before was all false? Old Burton said puzzled.
"No, what you heard is true, and Danny isn't lying, so the problem is with Agent Coulson." Old Luther replied.
Danny didn't understand the conversation between the two, and it seemed that both of them knew a lot about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style, and maybe they had been in contact with it!
Looking at Danny's puzzled expression, Old Luther said, "Danny, do you know why, why we were so angry after we heard that you joined S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
"Isn't it because I'm an agent on my own?" Danny asked.
"Of course not, the agent is nothing, although there will be some danger, but there is no danger of Charlie's extreme challenge, besides, your superpower is also very powerful." Charlie is Danny's uncle, the son of Burton Sr.
Seeing that Danny still looked confused, Old Burton opened his mouth and said, "Danny, we are not because you are an agent, but because of S.H.I.E.L.D., DO YOU KNOW WHAT S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks in our scientific community?" ”
"What is it?"
"Crazy, dictator, unscrupulous, inhumane. I know quite a few PhDs and professors who have been approached by S.H.I.E.L.D., so I have a little impression of them, but it's not good. S.H.I.E.L.D. has a list of superpowers like you, which lists all the superpowers that S.H.I.E.L.D. has come into contact with. After saying this, Old Burton took a sip of water, and then continued.
"Do you know how they treat those people? Except for a few who were locked up, most of them were dissected and sliced, so you know why we're nervous and angry! But I'm curious as to why you don't have anything at all. ”
Sam, who was sitting next to Danny, suddenly said: "I think it is possible that the identity of the super team is the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. takes it seriously." ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will never be treated special because of your identity, and their power is all over the world, so they will not hesitate because of Danny's superhero status! I think Danny's analysis may be correct, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not monolithic internally, and comparing an organization as powerful as S.H.I.E.L.D., there are bound to be internal disagreements and discord. Old Luther said after analyzing Danny's explanation.
"Yes, I also think there is a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D., but, fortunately, I met Coulson, and he is fine." It is impossible for Danny to directly say that there is a hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.
"It should be, Danny's luck is good, that Coulson should be a moderate in S.H.I.E.L.D., so there is no danger, but it's better to stay away from S.H.I.E.L.D., they have a lot of enemies, be careful of harming the fish pond." Luther Sr. said.
Old Luther should know a lot of hidden secrets, and as the leader of the Williams family, he must have been in contact with many forces.
Danny thought about it for a moment and decided to tell the story. "Grandpa, I think S.H.I.E.L.D. will collapse in the near future, the so-called prosperity must decline, S.H.I.E.L.D. is too powerful, so strong that even you are starting to scruple about it, plus there are differences within them, this is not the difference between moderates and radicals, but a collision of ideas."
In another five years, after the Battle of New York, Hydra will make a comeback, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will collapse, and at that time, other countries and organizations in the world will just stand by coldly, because S.H.I.E.L.D. is overbearing and too strong, so many people would rather Hydra, a terrorist organization, destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. than lend a hand.
Not only that, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reputation has rotten to the point that even the public is disgusted, and many people count the alien invasion of the New York War on S.H.I.E.L.D., although it is true.
"There is some truth in what you say, but is there any evidence?" Luther Sr. asked.
"Hmmm! No, it's all speculation, plus my intuition. Danny replied.
Hearing Danny say that there was no evidence, Old Luther was obviously a little disappointed, and he also hoped that S.H.I.E.L.D. would collapse so that Danny could get out.
"I have a brilliant plan, would you like to hear it?" Old Burton said suddenly. "S.H.I.E.L.D. is so powerful, we can't be an enemy of it, even if Danny has superpowers, since a few of us can't, then why don't we call more people, we have a lot of money."
"What do you mean? S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't something you can do with money. Luther Sr. said.
"But we're not just rich! We also have an umbrella, and if the mysterious substance in it is used, it will definitely allow us to form a powerful force. Old Burton said.
"Didn't you say that it is impossible for ordinary people to succeed except for Danny?" Luther Sr. asked.
"It's impossible to turn ordinary people into death fighters, but it must be feasible to weaken them, I can dilute the mysterious substance and test it on ordinary people, so that although I can't become a death fighter, I can definitely enhance my physical fitness, if it's a group of special forces, I can definitely fight ten at a time after enhancement." Old Burton said excitedly.
After listening to his grandfather's thoughts, Danny had an idea and came up with an idea. "Grandpa, I have an idea, since my grandfather said that the umbrella is promising, why don't we set up a biochemical technology company, claim to research biochemical technology, secretly take the umbrella as the center, dilute the mysterious substance, conduct human body strengthening research, and then recruit veterans with strong physical fitness to train a group of strengthened soldiers.
The name of the company could be called Ambrera Umbrella Company, and the diluted mysterious substance is called the T-virus, and with this plan, I think we can find a lot of money so that we don't have to do it alone, and we can unite a lot of people to move forward and retreat together.
As for me, continuing to be an agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., I think there are a lot of good things in S.H.I.E.L.D., and if I can, I can get some good things back, which means that we will be the vampires of S.H.I.E.L.D. until the day it disintegrates. ”
