Chapter 217: The superheroes whose strength has skyrocketed
Tony came to his senses and propped his hands on the bed, only to find that the steel bed board beneath him had been pressed into it by his palm, leaving a deep handprint. The palm of his hand showed a crimson color, and all around him were ashes formed by the burning of something.
"This is a desperate virus, and they injected me with a desperate virus?" Tony certainly knows what he is in at the moment, and that was the case when Killian played him.
At this time, Tony found out that he had red fruits all over his body, and his clothes and pants were all gone, which meant that he was gone. When he looked up, there was no monitoring equipment around, which made him a little relieved. But it was still a cage, as evidenced by the iron bars in front of the surrounding walls.
"What exactly is the purpose of this? That guy in the empire actually injected me with the Desperate Virus without saying a word, what does he mean? Tony stood up and tried to control the Desperate Virus, the crimson on his body gradually faded and became the color of his own skin, but it was much whiter, and the originally coppery skin became delicate and firm.
This is another characteristic of the desperate virus, which is beauty and detoxification. Because the healing ability of the body has improved, the melanin in the original skin has also been discharged, so it has become the current white and beautiful skin. However, this kind of thing is very important for women, but Tony, as a man, has difficulty accepting that his bronzed skin has become white and red.
Got up, and walked around the space of only five or six square meters, where I couldn't tell whether it was a room or a cage, and there was a coat rack next to the door with spare clothes on it. When the Desperate Virus transforms the human body, it will burn the clothes, so there will definitely be a backup. Of course, you can also strip naked for transformation, but you can choose for yourself.
"Try it...... Let's see if we can break this cage. Tony stood in the doorway, looking at the metal barred door like the cage on the inside of the wall, with the wall on the periphery. He manipulated the Desperate Virus to kick in, creating a lava-like heat in his hand, and slamming it towards the railing.
If it was ordinary metal, it would be melted and he would be able to escape. But when he put his hand on it, he didn't feel anything, and the temperature on his hand was losing dramatically. This made Tony instantly understand that these iron railings were still made of vibranium material.
"This big dog is so rich that he uses vibranium materials to make cages, how much vibranium did he get from Wakanda?" Tony couldn't figure it out, this kind of material can be described as extremely scarce, only Wakanda has it in the whole world, and the amount of storage is not too much, that is, about 10,000 tons, how can Ding Hao have so much, and he can even be used as a cage.
Of course, he wouldn't know that Ding Hao didn't actually get too much vibranium, but after he had nanotechnology, all this was no longer a problem. The first thing he did when he returned to Earth was to nanoscale the remaining vibranium materials, which could then be used to form a variety of utensils according to the construction model he had set.
For example, these cages are nano-vibranium transformed into cylinders, and there is only one layer on the surface, and the inside is all steel, and there is a layer of vibranium material attached to the surface, which is enough, because the vibranium material does not need thickness, they can transmit energy, and the energy impact will be completely shared on all the same materials that are connected.
So in fact, it seems that there are a lot of vibranium cages, but the materials that cost not much are not much, and it can also change the structural drawings inside, recombine them into something else, and achieve complete recycling and 100% reuse. This kind of technology belongs to the kind of nanotechnology that belongs to the Nova Legion and can be regarded as high-end, and Ding Hao did not show this technology to Tony.
So Tony couldn't guess that these cages were actually ruined by gold and jade, of course, with vibranium material on the surface, Tony couldn't break it, unless it was a weapon made of the same vibranium material that could be destroyed. But such weapons had been comprehensively searched when Ding Hao caught them, and all of them were confiscated, and none of them were left.
It's like Steve's shield, Natasha's dagger, stun gun and the like, and Bucky's left arm was originally what Ding Hao wanted to remove for him. But Bucky was Ding Hao's own shadow, so he didn't treat him like this, but used nanomaterials to infiltrate his left arm, temporarily freezing some of its functions.
Tony felt the heat of the railing in his hand little by little, and then suddenly the blue light on the railing flashed instantly, and suddenly a powerful shock wave vibrated out from above, throwing Tony directly away. This is another property of the vibranium material, which bounces the energy and forms a shock wave.
Tony's own armor has such an ability, so when the shock wave of the rebound hits over, Tony directly jumps backwards and does not resist hard, because the impact will be smaller. But he forgot that he was now in a cage, so in an instant he was smashed to the railing behind him, and his whole body was directly broken by I don't know how many, and his whole body was in severe pain.
"Holy!" Tony cursed Ding Hao again. His current embarrassment is all due to him, and he must extort a sum of money from the other party after he goes out. Then his body's self-healing ability activated, and the injured upper body turned red in an instant, and the high temperature burned the clothes on the upper body at once, and Tony controlled it at once, so that the lower half of the injured lower body was no longer activated.
Because if this suit is burned, he will have no clothes, and it doesn't matter if the upper body is still there, how to keep the lower body. Therefore, the upper body quickly healed the broken bones and muscles, while the lower body was a little lame and sprained.
While Tony tried to escape, the rest of the people in the other rooms were waking up. It's just that compared to Tony, these people didn't run naked, because their combat suits were also made of vibranium, which could withstand the high temperature when they transformed, but now everyone has become a vacuum.
Of course, the ashes of the clothes inside after burning are also very uncomfortable, but these people are all experienced in a hundred battles, and all of them can be said to be people who have rolled in the pile of dead people, and they can endure such a situation. So like Tony, when they found out that they had been injected with the Desperate Virus by these people, they all quickly mastered this energy.
And they, like Tony, were locked in a cage, trying to escape one by one. At this time, you can see how much they have gained in this transformation. Because their original genetic levels are different, their respective harvests are also large and small, and some are even more specific.
For example, Steve, his comprehensive ability is the strongest in this group of people, after all, he has been injected with super soldier serum, and his physical attributes are already the limit of ordinary people, and he was only close to breaking the genetic limit. But because of the constraints, in 1942 during World War II, Dr. Eikins' research could be said to be the top at that time, and I know that no one can compare with it now.
And Killian, a desperate virus, is similar to Dr. Elkins' super soldier serum, except that Dr. Elkins' super serum is an all-round improvement, because it has not found a genetic breakthrough, so it cannot break through the limits of the human body. And Killian was lucky enough to find a breakthrough point, and thus obtained the power of the Desperate Virus, which is beyond the limits of human beings.
Although it has not broken the limit of human beings in terms of its own strength and speed, it has directly broken the extreme in terms of temperature, how can ordinary people withstand thousands of degrees of high temperature? If it is endured, it can only be cremated. And after Killian breaks the limit, the temperature of the human body completely surpasses that of humans.
Therefore, Steve got the greatest benefit from this injection of the Desperate Virus, the extreme temperature he was able to raise far exceeded that of others, and at this time, the air around him was completely distorted, and even the ground began to appear red, becoming a molten state, and quickly melting.
"It's about 5,000 degrees Celsius! This is far beyond the limit of our previous estimates, and it seems that the higher the genetic level, the greater the breakthrough. Maya Hansen looked at the instrument in front of her and measured the temperature from Steve's cage.
In front of her, there are instruments one by one, corresponding to one cage after another. This is where the results of the experiment are tested. With the exception of legionnaires who did not perform such tests, all test subjects had to go through this level. And these are clearly the objects of special attention.
Tony, who woke up first, was the first, he was the first to be injected, and the genetic grade was also the lowest, which was indeed a little lower than a few genetically modified people. So the duration was only a little longer than Sam's, and the awakening was thirty-seven minutes, and the extreme temperature was 3,500 degrees. But he is the easiest of these people to manipulate the desperate virus.
Although the others have vibranium armor, they are still not as quick as Tony, and it takes them longer than Tony to control the Desperate Virus, perhaps because they have gained more power than Tony.
But Maya Hansen thinks that's not the case, because the worst here is Falcon Sam, who injected the virus into the transformation in the shortest time, and completed the transformation in about thirty minutes, but it took the longest time to manipulate it, until everyone completed the skillful control of Le, he was still red and black on his body.
According to Maya Hansen's conclusions from thousands of experiments, the longer the transformation lasts, the greater the gain, just like the gene itself against the Desperate Virus, the longer it persists, the more powerful it becomes, and the Desperate Virus can gain more power by covering the original genes.
However, the shorter the ability to manipulate the virus, the stronger the person's mastery of himself, indicating that the stronger the control that the person has gained after transformation. The control comes from the experimenter's brain, which means that the smarter the brain, the easier it is to control the desperate virus. So Tony was the smartest of the test subjects this time.
"From the beginning to the present, the experiment has been carried out 1,726 times, of which 963 are the members of the Hydra who were captured before, and the temperature of the desperate virus they generally obtained is about 2,500 degrees, which belongs to the elite warriors with strong physical functions. There are also 257 times when they are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this time the ups and downs are relatively large, the lowest is only in the early 2000s, and the highest is more than 2,800. The gap between civilian personnel and elite agents is relatively large. "Maya Hansen is making a report, of course, the report is directed at Ding Hao, the boss behind the scenes.
"How effective is the Legionnaire's custom-made Destitude Virus?" Ding Hao asked.
"There are 500 legion members, and their promotion is relatively balanced, between three thousand seven and three thousand eight, obviously their quality is not much different before." Maya Hansen said.
"And now? Now Steve is over five thousand degrees Celsius, apparently he is much stronger than our legionnaires? Ding Hao asked.
"Yes, this Captain America's body has reached the extreme of ordinary people before, and it is much stronger than my legionnaires in all aspects, so there is such an improvement, just like Tony can only get three thousand five, he is a little worse than our legionnaires, and Sam Wilson is only three thousand two. The rest of Natasha is four thousand three, Bucky is four thousand five, and Hawkeye Barton is actually stronger than the other two genetically modified people, he has reached four thousand seven hundred. Maya Hansen said.
"Falcon Sam is so bad? And why Hawkeye is stronger than the other two, it's not scientific! Ding Hao said.
"Sir, this is determined by genes, Hawkeye Barton has a part of his genes that are indeed very powerful, that is, his super vision, as a benign result of genetic mutation, after the addition of the desperate virus, of course, he will gain stronger strength." Maya Hansen replied.
"In other words, now in the power ranking of these superheroes, Tony is actually the second-to-last?" Ding Hao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Iron Man Tony Stark, the absolute protagonist of the MCU of the cinematic universe, to almost be at the bottom.
"Sir, although he is indeed a little worse after the transformation of the Desperate Virus, his mind is the best among all people, even much better than Killian, it took Killian two minutes and fifteen seconds to control the Desperate Virus, and Tony only spent a fraction of his time, fifteen seconds can completely control his own Desperate Virus Outbreak, which is an incredible thing." Maya Hansen said.
Speaking of which, there is another indicator, an indicator of controlling one's own ability, of course, the ability to control oneself is the faster you grasp it, the better, although the size of their respective energies is different, but the attributes of the desperate virus are the same, this has nothing to do with the height of energy temperature, after all, five thousand degrees can burn people to death, but three thousand degrees can also be.
So the speed of control comes from the development of their own brain domain, and the more active the brain, the easier it is to control this energy, so Tony controls it in fifteen seconds, and then Steve, Natasha, and Barton, all of whom have undergone all kinds of rigorous training. And Winter Soldier Bucky is a little worse, his skills may also be very strong, but after all, it is the things that have been instilled by hypnosis, not learned by themselves, and hypnosis itself has an impact on brain activity, so it falls to the penultimate level.
By this standard, Tony is the second-to-last in terms of energy and first in control, while Steve is the first in energy and second in control, Natasha is fourth in energy and third, Bucky is third in energy and fifth, Barton is second in energy and fourth in control, and Sam is the penultimate in both indicators.
In this way, in fact, the gap between them is clear at a glance, Sam relies on equipment to eat, so he almost died, and Hawkeye took advantage of his own genetic mutation.
Of course, Tony is now wearing a battle armor, which is definitely a lot stronger than others, because with a strong body, Tony's armor can make more and stronger improvements, and Tony's armor will have more space to complete other functions in the future.
And when the armor performs some dangerous operations in the future, Tony can also withstand it, unlike the body of an ordinary person before, and the slightest shock or temperature difference is unbearable.
"Now that these people can be regarded as having increased in strength, then it's time to let them out, then I can just watch this time!" Ding Hao touched his chin and thought in his heart.
"Sir, what should they do now? How do we get them out? Maya Hansen asked.
It is indeed a problem, it is the easiest way to throw these people out directly with the space door, but it will leave this is the absolute proof of Ding Hao's laboratory, and Ding Hao does not want to leave such traces. Although Tony among these people had already guessed that Ding Hao did it, it was just a guess, and there was no real evidence, and Ding Hao did not come forward in all the actions.
Therefore, Ding Hao refused to admit it, and these people had no way to take him, and they obtained the current desperate virus ability, which can be regarded as compensation for Ding Hao's imprisonment of them.
As for upgrading these people, it is mainly because Ding Hao has his own purpose, he needs these people to do something, something he doesn't want to come forward, such as something that will happen in the future.
Ding Hao can't come forward for these things, but it is related to some of Ding Hao's interests, so he needs someone to come forward instead of him. These superheroes are the best candidates. So give them a promotion, so that they have the ability to accomplish these things, and there is no need for Ding Hao to do it himself.
"Speaking of which, now that this place can be emptied, I will help you build a base in another place, and I will move everything here, leaving only these people, and then we will not need to come forward, let them go by themselves." Ding Hao said.
His idea is very simple, after locking them up for a few days, and when he empties this place, he will release these people, so that they can see an empty space, and if there is nothing, it will not be directly exposed. And he will have some other moves, and the timing of letting go of these S.H.I.E.L.D. people and Steve is also very crucial.
Ding Hao completed this upgrade superhero experiment, and felt that these people would be of great use in the future, so he left the laboratory. And Maya Hansen's laboratory was evacuated shortly after he left, and the experimental equipment was also moved, leaving an empty space to wait for the moment when the last tiger came out of the cage.
"The time is not ripe yet, and I still need to grieve you for a while! Wait, I'll take care of the food these days! Ding Hao opened a space door and looked at the people who were locked in a cage like a small house, all of them were still experimenting with their strength, their bodies were red and white, compared to others, Sam was red and black.
"Yes, none of them are lazy, so it's better, I'll give you more food at noon today." Ding Hao looked at these superheroes who were locked up in the room, a superhero who burned all the surrounding walls and floors to magma, and he asked the person who brought food to these people to pass on the word to the legionnaires, and asked him to add an extra chicken leg to these people at noon today.
Training is hard, add an extra chicken leg to treat everyone.
This time for the upgrade of superheroes, Ding Hao took a short time, from Tony's injury in Canada, it has only been two days now. Because of the existence of the healing technique, Tony recovered quickly, and now that he has a desperate virus, if he is injured in the future, there is no need for Ding Hao to save him.
Of course, although the two days are short, but a lot of things have happened, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s coalition forces have completely swept away Baron Straker's forces, and recovered part of the information in the computer of his base, what information has been obtained Ding Hao doesn't know, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions in the entire world have become more intensive, and even began to recruit some supernumeraries with special talents.
In the western part of Yellowstone, a huge Ford F650-converted RV is heading into the national park camp. And in the direction of this car, a small team of S.H.I.E.L.D. members are waiting in front of them, ready to capture the owner.
On the other side, above the North Pole of the Earth, a stealth spaceship is hiding in this polar night area, and on the spaceship, some green-skinned and pointy-eared guys are busy, assembling a special device, constantly debugging, trying to emit a unique signal.
But for some reason, this signal has not been able to break through the earth's magnetic field, which makes them feel very anxious, constantly shifting positions on the earth, trying to find a location that can break through the earth's magnetic field and emit special signals. This time they came to the North Pole and conducted tests above the poles.
And this time, as they continued to debug on the unknown device, the red light that had been flashing suddenly turned green, and they immediately cheered.
Of course, with the cheers of these people, a special signal broke through the shackles of the earth's magnetic field and spread directly towards the universe. After breaking out of the Earth's atmosphere, this particular signal suddenly vanished, as if entering some undetermined dimension.
In the distant starry sky of the universe, on a planet, a huge signal receiving tower stood on the highest peak of this planet, and suddenly a special signal was received, and then transmitted to every corner of this planet.
