Chapter 789 Umbrella’s Energy
Whoosh~ whoosh~
Silver-white humanoid robots galloped towards the sky.
Originally, because of the previous impact and explosion of the helicopter, passers-by on the street were already very panicked.
Although shootings and other incidents were relatively common, the explosion in front of them still made passers-by frantically start to avoid it.
The humanoid robot that rushed out from behind also caused them to scream.
Panic crowds and cars crashing into shops made the streets appear chaotic.
However, among this chaotic crowd, several people were swimming against the current.
It was the SHIELD team headed by Nick Fury.
"When did Umbrella still have this ability?"
The scene in front of him gave Nick Fury, who had just arrived, a solemn expression.
SHIELD's most troublesome enemy lately has always been Umbrella.
Regarding Umbrella's capabilities, Nick Fury thought that he knew quite a bit about it. It was a top-notch private special operations force and a top-notch biological and chemical unit.
Tyrants, Lickers, and Chasers can all be manipulated and are quite difficult to deal with.
It's okay here in Damei. There have been tragedies caused by them in many places in Africa, South America, and the Middle East!
However, these reports were suppressed for fear of causing panic.
If they weren't afraid of exposure and rarely used it openly in public places, Nick Fury would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But now this sudden appearance of the mechanical army made Nick Fury feel a huge pressure.
"Although they interrupted the live broadcast, the previous scenes are enough. I will apply for authorization immediately! I must help them delay the time!"
Although this army of silver robots that suddenly appeared is very troublesome, Nick Fury is quite excited at this time and finally caught your little tail!
I definitely can’t let it go this time!
Then he contacted his old partner, Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is quite powerful in the United States and even in global politics.
"Old man, Umbrella finally showed a flaw..."
"Oh? There is a flaw. I know. I will arrange it. Just go ahead and do it..."
Alexander Pierce, with a solemn face at this time, made a promise to Nick Fury.
But after hanging up the internal communication, his face looked a little ugly.
At this time, there was also the scene in front of him when the live broadcast was cut off. It was Umbrella's biochemical laboratory!
"It's really a flaw... a group of idiots, the spy was so obviously planted that they didn't even notice it."
Alexander Pierce, as the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of the leaders of Hydra, supported Nick Fury because of his abilities.
And Nick Fury did not disappoint him. He smoothed SHIELD and became the cradle of new blood for Hydra, which also solved many of his troubles.
At the same time, because of SHIELD's achievements, he gained more political capital, freeing up his hands to do a lot of things.
But now, after getting on the right track, Nick Fury is starting to get in the way again...
"The Red Queen..."
Alexander Pierce closed his eyes and murmured, and the screen in front of him switched, and the image of a cold little girl appeared.
"I am here."
"This time it has been broadcast live. Remove all traces of the laboratory. In addition, let that stupid bear take the blame."
"Ivan Vanke has excellent design capabilities. Those low-quality armors are not high in cost and are more suitable for my control. Moreover, he has not yet obtained the technology of the Ark Reactor."
The Red Queen said very calmly.
"I know, but the manufacturing technology for those armors is already available, isn't it? This matter is too big, and someone with enough ability and reason must take the blame."
"I see."
The image of the red queen disappeared from the screen with an expressionless expression...
…
On the other side, when Tao Yu and Tony broke through the outer wall of the Umbrella laboratory and conducted preliminary photography and evidence collection, they were already attacked by dense steel robots below.
"Shit! This inferior counterfeit! How can it be made so ugly!"
Tony had the same expression on his face as if he had eaten a big lump.
He has always been quite proud of his steel suit.
He also knew that there would be people who wanted to copy it, and it didn't matter if Rhodes's set was taken away.
He believes that no one can change faster than himself.
But Tony didn't expect that the other party could complete a certain level of mass production so quickly, and the results would be so ugly!
"But there are many of them, and they are all unmanned. Umbrella also has its own artificial intelligence."
Tao Yu glanced at it, flashed twice in the air at random, dodged some rockets and strafing fire, and allowed those rockets to explode on the nearby building, igniting many floors.
"snort."
Seeing the tacit cooperation of those inferior products, Tony also recognized Tao Yu's words. Then he glanced at the frightened reporter in his arms and took off immediately, placing him on a nearby roof.
"You can't blame me for dying."
On the other side, Tao Yu also left another one here.
After freeing up the two burdens, the two of them turned towards the robots and killed them. However, the two reporters were not afraid of death and continued to take pictures of the battlefield with their cameras.
He kept saying "It's been done, it's been done".
Swish~bang~
The vibranium spear in Tao Yu's hand cooperated with his flight, and under his swing, he blasted a mecha into parts in the air, and the fragments flew everywhere.
In the process of evading in the air, Tao Yu also noticed another use of the [Truth Analysis] skill, even if he was suppressed.
The calculation of various ballistic trajectories in battle is clearly visible with the blessing of computing power.
It actually reached a different level of time prediction!
Coupled with the original perception and affinity of the [Inherent Time Control] ability for time, Tao Yu also felt a rather silky feeling.
Time is just a manifestation of the trajectory of particles!
You can easily dodge various attacks with the smallest angle and movement.
The continuous shots passed by the suit, and he dodged the speeding rockets by turning his head slightly.
Along with some rockets that exploded in advance, Tao Yu moved randomly in the air, following the direction of the explosion and greatly reducing the impact easily.
And every time he swings the vibranium spear in his hand, he can easily take away a robot.
In comparison, although Tony on the other side has Jarvis's auxiliary driving module, his shooting is quite accurate.
But even using the palm cannon is not as effective as Tao Yu's 'primitive' attack method.
Fortunately, he has witnessed Tao Yu's many 'miracles' before, and now Tony can continue to persuade himself to find self-consistent rationality.
It's just that Tony can understand Tao Yu's efficiency.
Nick Fury, who was trying to find a way to enter the Umbrella Building below, looked up at the situation and looked a little surprised.
"Is this the Namikaze Minato you are talking about? It shouldn't have been long since he got the Iron Man suit. Since he is so skilled..."
"It must be him."
Natasha's face also looked a little solemn.
"Record his files and store them in the eighth-level confidentiality area..."
…
Not only Nick Fury, but also Alexander Pierce, who had been using the Red Queen to observe the scene, was also shocked when he saw Tao Yu's actions.
"I thought Iron Man was already troublesome enough, but now another guy like this has appeared. Do you have any information on him?"
"The Stark group has their own artificial intelligence that I can't hack into."
The Red Queen said coldly, but soon, she paused
"Natasha just uploaded the latest eighth-level secret. The armor pilot's name is Minato Namikaze. He is one of the several undercover agents whose identities have been solved by the Stark Group recently."
Then, the photo of Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Alexander Pierce, as well as all the information that could be collected so far.
"A gangster from Mo country..."
——
Boom~boom~
As several steel suits rushed into the laboratory, a violent explosion soon occurred in the entire laboratory on that floor.
Exploding firelight rushed out from every window, and a large number of glass fragments splashed down!
Tao Yu, who was making a Z-shape in the air and killing three robots in an instant, didn't feel too surprised when he saw the explosion of fire.
There are still too many of these robots, and there may be self-destruction devices in the laboratory. Even if you want to find evidence, going in is not a wise choice.
At the same time, Tao Yu had also seen Nick Fury below and said to Tony relying on the communication system in the steel suit.
"Is the person who contacted you before the nigger below? I saw the assistant you fired."
Tony, who was above, was cursing because the laboratory was bombed. He raised his hand and blew up another steel robot. After almost cleaning up the area, he also saw the situation below.
"Oh, I was just going to ask what he meant."
Tony controls the descent of the Iron Suit.
Jarvis had already relayed Nick Fury's words before, and Tony was still a little concerned about the other person saying that he knew his father.
At the same time, the laboratory has been directly bombed. As a successful businessman, Tony also understands what needs to be done now.
This time, it would be difficult to kill Umbrella in one breath. With the cut off live broadcast and the subsequent screen recording, its practical use is limited. There are too many ways to defend it. Afterwards, these controls are inferior. Just hand it over to the good guy.
You might even give yourself a thumbs down.
Tony hates this feeling of being in vain, but now he really needs to use some outside power.
"Hey man, I think your plans for your smartphone and your apps are ahead of schedule. It feels bad right now."
"It needs to be simple in advance. I don't like making money anyway, so I just sell the mobile phone at the cost price and run the operation platform well..."
"You also have a pretty good business acumen."
Tony said appreciatively.
Now that Tony is no longer short of money, he really has little interest in making money.
But this did not prevent him from seeing the potential of Tao Yu's move.
In fact, for current civilian products, its smartphone model is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack and has no rivals at all.
At this time, if you set the price higher at the beginning and create a high-end brand positioning, it will actually be easy to sell. Many people will buy it, and it can form a brand effect, and you can enjoy the brand premium in the future.
But with such huge profits, imitators will surely emerge one after another!
On the other hand, if he sends out the direct cost price and relies on the first-mover advantage to enter the market, latecomers will realize that it is almost a loss-making transaction, and few will intervene.
When the time comes, he will use the mobile phone as a platform to create system APP access permission, or make some commissions, and the profits in the later period will be considerable...
But this was Tony's idea of spreading his thoughts a little. He wanted to instigate Tao Yu to get the company on track quickly, but he couldn't stand the disadvantage of public opinion. He can even think of what the media will say about him after this big riot in New York, and how they will forcefully use their own popularity to suppress the large-scale news exposed by their laboratory!
For Big Beauty, this kind of unreliable evidence is nothing to the top group.
It's easy to settle by paying some money.
"Your idea is very good. I will take care of the early arrangements and investments. There is no need to worry about production capacity. I will directly find some foundries for some simple parts... and I can even hold a press conference in advance."
"I won't hold a press conference, let Minato Namikaze go then."
When this battle situation had just ended, the two of them landed in front of Nick Fury and the others with this relaxed chat.
They all have a character that is not afraid of anything. Whatever they do, they just do it.
What happens next is that the soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth!
"That's the colleague you said is my father?"
In the steel suit, Tony looked at Nick Fury with a scrutinizing gaze. At the same time, he also saw two acquaintances, Natasha and Leon.
In my heart, I am a little inclined to believe this.
Leon had reminded himself of the Umbrella virus, and Natasha's injection could indeed alleviate palladium poisoning through composition analysis by Jarvis.
If Jack's treatment methods weren't so good, maybe he would actually use this and end up indebted to them.
This must have been planned by them!
Use it to win your favor at critical moments.
If he hadn't met Jack, he might have fallen into their trap.
"Hey, Tony, now is not the time to talk about this. Umbrella took action and blew up their laboratory. We must now enter the building to collect as much intelligence and evidence as possible. I have arranged for my people to rush right away. Come, please help me seal this place first."
Although Nick Fury knew that the previous explosion must have destroyed a lot of evidence, the flames were still burning on it.
But he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
But before the SHIELD agents arrived, the firefighters had already arrived.
There are also NYPD detectives, and even people from Forbole are arriving quickly.
Some men in suits got out of several black cars.
Nick Fury was not surprised that firefighters and NYPD people arrived so quickly.
But people at Fobole shouldn't be so efficient!
"Who is your supervisor? I want to see them. Our Homeland Strategic Attack Defense and Logistics Support Agency now has full authority to take over this place and has been authorized."
Nick Fury quickly walked over and showed his ID first.
Fobole is often their vest, and he still has an innate psychological advantage over these people.
However, this time, the supervisor of Fobolo did not sell his account.
"Sorry, I didn't receive any notice of being taken over. I am in charge of this place now. The military will take over this place soon. Please don't get in the way here."
The supervisor just glanced at Nick Fury's ID and didn't even take it.
These words made Nick Fury frown, what did that guy Pierce do?
At this time, he also happened to receive a contact from Pierce.
"Fury, things are a bit bad. This incident has alarmed the military. They have used a lot of energy now and should have been prepared in advance. I didn't react as quickly as they did. After all, they took the initiative to go to Sri Lanka this time. Tucker..."
Alexander Pierce's explanation did not dispel Nick Fury's doubts.
Admittedly, it was probably Umbrella who took the initiative to attack Tony this time, but Tony's unconventional move and coming over to find Umbrella's laboratory immediately was definitely beyond their expectations. !
Even I came here because of Natasha's expulsion, and I just happened to catch up.
Nick Fury controls S.H.I.E.L.D., and he certainly knows that the response speed of such a large company is only average, so he rushed all the way and notified Pierce directly.
Originally, his idea was to make a time difference.
As a result, he came forward in person, came to the scene in person, and was intercepted...
This made Nick Fury, who had never doubted Alexander Pierce, cast doubt on his old friend for the first time.
And once the seeds of doubt are planted, they cannot be erased so easily...
——
Shootings happen so frequently in New York that if you go a few days in a row without one, it makes the newspapers.
But this kind of robot battle, rockets flying randomly, laboratory explosions and fires are still quite rare at present.
What's more, it also involves the famous Iron Man, and involves the two behemoths Stark and Umbrella.
All kinds of reports were overwhelming for a while.
The New York Times: “The famous Iron Man, Tony Stark, is suspected of being terminally ill and wants to be treated with a dangerous virus.”
CNN: "Through the live broadcast, you can see traces of biological experiments on the top of Stark Tower! People are calling for a thorough investigation!"
CBC: "Umbrella's laboratory has been verified to be registered, and the homeless man in the picture is just a volunteer who tested the drug in the past."
There are also some signed lists attached at the back. The various procedures are reasonable and legal. There is no fault in it and the procedures are correct.
CBS: "The robots that fought Iron Man were created by Ivan Vanko, who has been lurking for revenge."
FOX: "Iron Man should still be responsible for civilians who are accidentally injured. It is not a mechanical prosthesis."
…
On the top floor of Stark Tower, the glass wall has been repaired, and the site has been cleaned and disinfected.
Back to the cozy atmosphere of a small fresh bar again.
As the owner of this place, Tony was looking at the reports and felt a little amused.
Even if he doesn't really care about what others think of him, it's still a bit irritating that the overwhelming media is still attacking him after he has clearly found out what's wrong with Umbrella Company.
Today, in addition to the Tao Yu trio who have stayed here for the night, there are also Pepper Potts and Nick Fury.
This time, Director Nick Fury, who looked like a stewed egg, suddenly appeared without any sense of mystery. Instead, he came to visit openly and brought the relics of Tony's father Howard.
After seeing that Tony was worried about these reports, he sighed and said
"This is the way the world is. If you don't occupy the 'truth', someone else will."
In fact, with the capabilities of Stark Group, this is not the case. Stark is also a giant company.
It's just that Tony didn't care about these things in the past. Obadie was in charge, and it mainly relied on the energy of the military-industrial complex.
As a result, now that Stark Group has given up its old contacts and plunged headlong into the energy field, at least its control of public opinion is quite passive.
"Umbrella doesn't have any management responsibilities?"
"Yes, Umbrella paid the money and reached a settlement. The management did not pursue the case and just handed over Ivan Vanke."
Nick Fury didn't seem surprised by this at all, and his tone was calm.
This was indeed a rare opportunity, but in fact, even if he actually attacked the opponent's laboratory and found conclusive evidence, he knew that it would be difficult to defeat the opponent directly, and it could only be considered a blow.
Now this is completely normal.
"In fact, ordinary people will not find it strange that Umbrella is like this. Just a few days ago, a rich man who caused losses to Umbrella and his family died on his yacht. Others Everyone was rescued, and his deputy was involved in a car accident that same day."
Nick Fury smiled, and the beautiful business war was actually so simple and unpretentious.
At that time, a matter as big as Purdue Pharmaceuticals ended up paying money and settling without any accountability. In comparison, it only revealed a picture of a biochemical laboratory and did not cause any serious consequences. This is nothing at all.
"But don't worry. Until they figure out how you found the laboratory, I'm afraid they won't dare to take risks again. You should be lucky that the force in your hands is not weak."
After saying that, he pushed Howard's relics out
"Perhaps you can find a solution to palladium poisoning."
In fact, Tony had Tao Yu's help, so he didn't need a replacement urgently. It seemed that he could find a top surgeon.
But Stephen, who was still lying in the laboratory, made Tony understand that the next doctor didn't know what would happen secretly.
Except for trustworthy people like Brother Jack, instead of asking for others, it is better to ask for yourself!
"Well, for the sake of this thing, I won't pursue the matter of you planting spies before."
"Besides that, I also want to cooperate with you to fight against Umbrella, and of course, Mr. Minato Namikaze."
Minato Namikaze, who was originally enjoying the outside position, suddenly heard the mention of himself and felt a little confused.
But after taking a look at Tao Yu, he still nodded.
"I follow Mr. Stark's arrangements."
"I will use my own methods to deal with Umbrella. However, if you are willing to provide some intelligence sharing, cooperation is not impossible."
The continuous attacks, as well as the fact that a shit basin was thrown at him, made Tony feel a little angry with Umbrella.
In fact, the Stark Group even had a lot of cooperation with Umbrella in the past, including in arms sales.
The other party even proposed a strategic cooperation in exchange of shares, but Obadei was still considering it at the time, and then he was killed.
But I didn’t expect that after they broke up, the other party’s methods would be so dirty!
Tony just wants to do something he likes and hates this tediousness.
But this time, it made him a little annoyed.
So much so that he didn't completely reject Nick Fury's proposal.
Without Umbrella's move, Nick Fury's attempt to convince Tony might not have been that simple.
"In addition, you should pay more attention to your safety. Now that Mr. Minato is helping me, I feel relieved. I also have some internal problems here. I need to go back and investigate. Regarding the investigation of the Stark Group's biochemical research, I I will also step in to help..."
Nick Fury also expressed his sincerity.
"No need. Although there is indeed no media now, as for the legal team, we are not inferior to any top group."
Tony Stark waved his hand.
If they want to investigate, let them investigate, and they must use your rules to defeat you...
At this moment, Jarvis suddenly said
"Sir, Dr. Stephen has woken up and is quarreling with Rhodes now..."
Rhodes' injury was much less severe than Stephen's and he woke up early. However, the overdraft in his body forced him to stay here helplessly.
And although control has been achieved through the evil-sealing method and five-element seal, even Tao Yu is not sure how strong the seal is, and needs more observation.
Now that Stephen has woken up, Rhodes immediately started quarreling with the guy who caused him to do this.
When Tao Yu and others changed into isolation clothes and entered the isolation room, they saw two skinny patients quarreling with each other there.
Stephen is no match for Rhodes like a rap player.
Especially when Stephen raised his hand and looked at his skinny arms and weak fingers, the emo feeling of despondency seemed to make the atmosphere in the entire isolation room a little depressed.
The whole person's mood seemed quite depressed.
As a result, Rhodes, who was rapping and outputting continuously, had to stop.
"Hey, I asked you why you are acting like a child. I was just complaining after you made me like this. Why are you crying... Can't I stop complaining? You're a crybaby."
