Chapter 14 Directions for Reflection and Reinforcement
Two weeks have passed since Laura returned to New York, and the news of Tony's indefinite closure of Stark Group's weapons department has become old news.
In the past two weeks, after calling Rose on the day he came back to report that he was safe, the rest of the time was to eat, drink, play and sleep.
This is a way of self-regulation, and although this trip to Yamatai has been a good one, it has actually brought a lot of pressure to Laura's spirit.
The island is full of dangers, nerves are tense at all times, and even at night, the mouth of the cave is covered with thunder, a dagger is hidden under him, and a pistol is placed next to the pillow.
And Laura, who had never even killed a chicken in her previous generation, was considered to have opened a killing ring on the island in this life, and it was a killing ring. From critters of all kinds to cultists to mercenaries and storm guards, killing has almost become a habit in the end, and Ethan also said that his eyes are cold to the heart.
And gradually looking back, her actions this time also exposed a lot of shortcomings.
First of all, relying too much on the plot in her memory, the sudden appearance of the Holy Trinity and the mercenaries this time brought her a lot of trouble, and in the end, the fisherman made a big deal of luck.
Secondly, the battle preparation is insufficient, like the last battle against the fake Himiko, if you bring two more explosive arrows, it will not be so embarrassing.
In the end, primary reinforcement still brings psychological arrogance, which is a bit floating.
In the past two weeks, not only have I dealt with the above problems, but I have also explored the new skill 'Body of the Sun'.
Originally, Laura thought that this skill was the same as the Kryptonian next door, and she could become stronger in all directions by basking in the sun, and she could fly out of the solar system to beat up purple sweet potato essence after a few years.
However, it's not that buggy, the 'Body of the Sun' strengthens her body is a one-time, increasing the upper limit of energy by about double, and the upper limit of temperature has also been raised to 3000 degrees, which can be restored by basking in the sun, and the biggest benefit should be that it will no longer cause damage to the body when using high-temperature energy.
Combining her own and external conditions, Laura feels that there are two directions for strengthening in the short term.
1. Ark Reactor and Mark-like Series Warframes.
The prerequisite is to get the right to use the Ark Reactor, either by licking his face to Tony or by waiting for Ross to find Anton Vanke and his son.
The advantage is that you can rely on a variety of advanced weapons to fight, and you can use your own ability to fight when you run out of energy or your armor is damaged, so that the enemy is unable to defend against it.
The disadvantage is that he currently does not have the ability to independently design and manufacture various new weapons, and without the AI-assisted combat power like Jarvis, it is estimated that it will be reduced by fifty percent.
Second, make every effort to develop their own capabilities.
The advantages are obvious, the high temperature of the body, the hot sight, and the long-range attack and close combat after mastering the combat skills.
The shortcomings are also obvious, the means of attack are single, and once you encounter an enemy who is not afraid of high temperatures, you have to be blind.
After thinking about it for a while, Laura decided that she wanted it all!
We should first train our own abilities, and then seek development when the conditions are ripe for external forces.
After making up her mind, Laura went underground and began practicing.
The shooting range used to practice firearms is now used to practice thermal sighting.
The accuracy of fixed target training, the dynamic target training reflexes and dynamic vision, as the hot sight is released again and again, Laura gradually finds the feeling, and the more she plays, the more excited she becomes.
An hour later, Laura had to stop training, she was still in good shape, but the underground training ground was already a mess, and there were small flames everywhere.
I turned on the automatic firefighting facility, and suddenly I heard the phone ringing, so I pressed the call button casually.
"Miss Crawford, there's a visit from someone who claims to be an FBI staff member outside the door."
The butler's voice came out.
Laura casually called up the gate to monitor, and in the picture was a gentle-faced man with a worried hairline.
"Let him in, take him directly to my office on the third floor."
Laura took a quick shower, masking the smell of fireworks with the scent of shower gel, and turned upstairs to meet the 'novice village chief'.
..................
In his office on the third floor, Coulson was observing the facilities inside.
"Click"
The door opened, and a young girl in a bathrobe walked in.
Coulson immediately got up and said to the girl with a smile, "Hello, Miss Crawford, I'm Agent Booth at the FBI. ”
Laura didn't debunk his lies, walked straight to the boss's chair and sat down, and said, "Hello, Agent Booth, is there anything the FBI is looking for me?" ”
Coulson still had a smile on his face: "That's right, we noticed that you came back from the air base in Kandahar with Tony Stark on a plane, can you tell us about your relationship?" ”
"Yes, rice friend."
Laura's answer was succinct and clear.
"And how did you meet him in the Middle East?"
"Travel, passing through."
"Can you tell us about your travel route?"
"Hong Kong, Japan, Middle East."
"Did you know that Stark was kidnapped, and were you involved?"
"I don't know, I'm not interested, I'm rich."
“。。。。。。”
Coulson couldn't ask any useful clues, because Laura had a cold face + concise over-the-top answers the whole time.
Soon, the two ended the conversation, and Coulson got up to say goodbye with the same smile on his face.
After returning to the car, Coulson dialed an unknown number and began to report.
"I've been in contact with Laura Crawford, young, beautiful, and a little awkward in personality, which all match the information.
It seems that he has a good relationship with Tony Stark and is a 'rice friend'.
No other special abilities have been found, no hostility has been found, and there is a lack of records near the Sea of Japan in the travel records, so someone can be sent to continue the investigation in the future, but I think the most important thing at the moment is Stark. ”
"Well, got it, you go back and talk to Stark tomorrow."
"Okay, Director."
.............
At this point, in a villa with a view of the sea, Tony reclining on the couch, his face pale and his veins bulging, Obadai aimed a device at the reactor in his chest.
"Tony, you're still so childish, you just let out a message to close the weapons research and development department, but you secretly made what may be the most powerful weapon of this generation."
After pulling out the Ark Reactor, Obadiah held it up to Tony's eyes.
"This is the last golden egg laid by your golden goose, your mission has been completed, enjoy the last time."
After taunting Tony again, Obadai felt that his resentment against Stark and his son had finally been released, put away the Ark Reactor, walked to the door and told the villa security guard not to go in and disturb Stark's rest, and got into the car and left with a smile on his lips.
The reactor that was pulled out of his chest, the shrapnel that was originally adsorbed began to move in Tony's body, and he finally regained some mobility, ignoring the pain in his heart, and moved step by step to the original reactor wrapped by Pepper, just before he was about to touch it, Tony could no longer support it and collapsed on the ground.
A mechanical sound sounded, and Derpy, who had been disgusted by Tony countless times, placed the glass box containing the reactor firmly in front of him.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Tony grabbed the box and smashed it down hard.
