Chapter 289: The Coming Torrent

The Pentagon was destined to be busier than usual on this day.

The conference room was silent, the stars were shining, and everyone's eyes stayed on a picture screen, with slightly pricked ears and focused expressions, proving that they were watching and listening attentively at the moment!

On the screen, there is only a metal face, which is full of the beauty of human industrial technology, the lines are cold and smooth, with a peculiar ferociousness that belongs to metal can give people. Its open and closed metal mouth is now talking on the TV station, on the street billboard where the crowd shuttles, and on the media webpage opened on people's mobile phones, tablets, computers and other platforms.

“…… Humanity is doomed to perdition, and the world is destined to belong to us......"

“…… I am war, and I am the ...... of the apocalypse"

……

The screen is dimmed.

Hurried to the Ministry of Defense, Mr. President, with a tense face and a solemn face, was rubbing his forehead with one hand and saying with a headache: "This is simply terrible." ”

The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Either way, we have to plan for the worst." Nick Fury, whose arm was still in bandage, replied in a deep voice.

"It's unbelievable that Alexander Pierce could be one of the Big Three of Hydra! Who knows how many more people he has in this building who are loyal to him and Hydra! I've read the report you've given me, and I'd rather he'd be alive for now, even if it's just looking at his nasty face, and sitting here with me to negotiate. The president said unceremoniously as he knocked the conference table in front of him with a dark face.

"I'd rather he's alive, at least I know him, know how to negotiate with him, and know his purpose." Nick Fury grimaced: "But he's dead, killed by the war machine created by the organization he works for." We've got to figure out how to ......."

"It seems to me that it's all your fault. Director Fury! A high-pitched, somewhat angry voice interrupted Nick Fury's words, and a general stood up and accused, "S.H.I.E.L.D. was established and existed to deal with this kind of thing and prevent it from happening!" But in recent years, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not been doing its job. Especially lately, look at what you've done? New York is in shambles. You don't know where to hide and recuperate, and you leave everything here to a playboy who flies around the world in metal armor and only knows how to mess around.

And then what? When you get back, you've captured the main leader of Hydra, but it doesn't make the situation any better, it's worse and worse! It is because of your negligence that we now have to deal with a strange machine. ”

"Do you want to say it's all my fault, General West?" Nick Fury's one-eyed look at the speaking general and asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it? Isn't that what S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to do? The situation is in chaos. You should be fully responsible. General West said unceremoniously.

"If I can make things better, I'm willing to take full responsibility, even if you throw me in a military prison now. But the meeting was not to blame the General Assembly, but to prepare for the impending catastrophe. Nick Fury replied in a nonchalant tone.

"The Great Tribulation?" The president suddenly interjected into a question, and he looked at Nick Fury standing opposite, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, this is a picture captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. satellites."

Nick Fury said and waved his hand, tossing a piece of metal USB stick in his hand. At the direction of the president. Someone in the conference room immediately showed the contents of this USB flash drive. Toggle the screen of the picture to a bird's-eye view. Let everyone present see a terrifying picture.

Rows of metal robots are neatly arranged in a phalanx, dense and seemingly endless.

Layers of unknown mushroom blankets are like spreading grasslands, closely fitting with the earth.

They were huge, dozens of stories high, and their surfaces were like breathing animals, like egg-like creatures. It looks like there's something going on inside.

"Russia, the Middle East, Antarctica, we have found as many as ten such bases, as for whether there are any that have not been exposed. We don't know anything at all. But these have been exposed, enough to start a big war. ”

In the ghostly expressions of a group of generals and senior White House personnel present, Nick Fury's face was still cold, and he continued without stopping: "I believe that soon they will launch an offensive, and it is impossible to delay with us." In other words, we can't afford to delay with them. ”

"Gentlemen," Nick Fury's one-eyed scanned around viciously, pointing his finger fiercely and forcefully at the group of impactful steel torrents on the screen, "it is inevitable that a new enemy will appear on our list of enemies. Not Nazis, not mutants, not aliens, not aliens! ”

"We don't know much about them at the moment, and according to Alexander Pearce, we will face five enemies in the future: war, pestilence, famine, death, and even the apocalypse! What we know now, and what we are facing, is only one of the five called war for the time being. We must strike first and destroy them before they can fully gain a foothold. ”

The president looked at Nick Fury worriedly, "I need you to give me a word about Director Fury, not alarmist, not reassuring, honestly, do you think it's more terrible than the enemies we've faced before?" ”

"I can't be sure ......," Nick Fury shook his head deeply.

"It's not as dire as you say." General West clenched his fists: "We fought the Nazis, put down the mutant rebellion, suppressed a group of aliens, and successfully resisted two extraterrestrial invasions. While the mutant bill has been a bit of a mess in the country lately, it's only a matter of time before peace is restored. Our war force is far more powerful than any enemy, and I don't think Director Fury you need to put on an apocalyptic face to show us.

This is not a movie. An intelligent program with its army of machines could take over the planet and wipe out humanity. If one EMP bomb isn't enough to wipe out an army of cyborgs, then two. We have enough ammunition and targeted weapons to destroy them. ”

"But only if you hit them, and before they invade the city." Nick Fury replied-for-tat. Looking at the different expressions of faces, Nick Fury continued: "Please don't forget, our opponents this time are not just a group of mechanical soldiers! That kind of steel creature can be destroyed as much as we want before they get close to our city, as long as we are willing to bear that price!

But the main body of the enemy we are facing is an intelligent program called [War], which is aggressive! Even Stark Industries' intelligent system, Jarvis, which represents the highest achievement of intelligent systems, is much worse than it in terms of intrusion and anthropomorphic intelligence.

It can casually hack into any electronic product it wants to invade, like the original manifesto it played around the world. This means that it has the ability and strength to block and monitor our electronic messages! If it wanted to, it could easily erect an iron curtain of information.

Our satellite will lose its function, in fact we have lost its track on it. There's something worse I haven't said yet. ”

"Just say it, Director Fury, what do you need?" The president waved his hand to stop Nick Fury, who wanted to continue: "What do you need to get everything back on track!" ”

Nick Fury exhaled deeply when he heard this, he looked at the crowd on the field, and said in a deep voice: "The support of Stark Industries and Storm Enterprises, as well as the psychic abilities of Mutant X Professor Charles Xavier. (To be continued.) )
