Chapter 393 Pervasive
"I warned you a long time ago."
Tony Stark was surprisingly not angry at Nick Fury's decision. He turned around slowly and sighed.
"I can understand your idea of saving people. After all, I am also a hero. I also have relatives and friends. No one can accept this kind of thing. But emotion cannot help us save more people. On the contrary, it will affect to our reason.”
"You're right, the situation outside is getting worse and worse. Those guys who turned into zombies are difficult to kill. Even cutting off their heads is useless. Those guys can continue to survive."
As Nick Fury spoke, he saw the whiskey that Tony Stark had placed next to the table. He picked it up and took a swig without any hesitation.
"It seems that the situation is more serious than I thought, allowing you, a king agent, to drink to relieve your worries." Tony Stark raised his eyes slightly and asked softly. "How many people did we lose?"
"very many"
Nick Fury exhaled a long breath and said dullly.
"Unlike those zombies that are difficult to kill, anyone bitten or scratched by the opponent will be infected instantly and become our enemy. In this case, the more people we save, the more people we lose. more."
Although Nick Fury's tone was very calm, Tony Stark could still hear his slightly trembling heart and gradual despair.
"We lost the X-Men team first. I thought that with their fighting power, not to mention killing the zombies, at least they could save some of them.
But what we didn't expect was that the Wasp and Ant-Man's pervasive abilities would be so terrifying.
Then came the Thunderbolts.
I asked American secret agents to lead them to take down the Verlia Building. The laboratory there contained the supplies and equipment we needed, but they encountered super criminals who were infected and turned into zombies. "
At this point, Nick Fury became completely decadent. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had made countless criminals fearful, has now been forced to a dead end.
"I have just given the order to recall the remaining heroes. If this continues, the space carrier has not yet fallen, and the combat effectiveness in our hands will be completely lost."
"I expected this, before it got to this point, remember." Tony Stark took himself a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet.
Hearing this, Nick Fury seemed to have found hope again. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Tony Stark's position.
"How's your equipment going?"
"It's finished. My movements are much faster than yours, but this is still due to insufficient materials. If you can give me more resources, I will make it faster and even better. ."
Tony Stark stepped aside, revealing a huge metallic teleportation device behind him in front of Nick Fury.
On the surface, that thing looked like an overturned gear. Nick Fury was not a technical person specializing in scientific research, so he couldn't see the logic of this thing for a while.
Seemingly seeing this, Tony Stark spoke.
"This is just the first prototype. I know it looks a bit ugly, but it's rare to be able to build it in this environment.
Before you came in, I had already made this thing run automatically. It is not easy to open the barrier of the multiverse. I have to strictly screen those different worlds to prevent situations similar to ours. . "
"How long does it take?" Nick Fury asked.
"I'm not sure. If it's faster, it will take a day. It's difficult for the equipment on the space carrier to support such a large amount of calculations. If it's in my laboratory, we should be faster."
Tony Stark spread his hands, looking like a clever woman can't make a meal out of nothing.
When Nick Fury and Tony Stark communicate.
On the other side of the core area of the space carrier.
Invisible female Susan and her brother Human Torch and Thing Ben have just arrived at the laboratory
They followed Nick Fury's instructions and went to rescue ordinary people who were surrounded by zombies outside. By the way, they also wanted to try to rescue a batch of high-tech technologies from the Baxter Building for use.
But the actions of the Fantastic Three did not go smoothly. Although the three of them tried their best, they were inevitably defeated in the face of countless zombie supernatural beings.
Fortunately, the three of them are not idlers. The invisible female Susan's force field allows her to easily deceive the zombies' perception. Even if she encounters a powerful enemy, she can also detonate the opponent's head with all her strength.
As for the Human Torch and the Stone Man, as extraordinary beings of the 'elemental system', one can burn all enemies close to him, while the other is invulnerable and cannot be contaminated by the zombie virus.
Such a powerful ability is also the main reason why although they are defeated, they can still escape without any danger.
After returning to the space carrier, the three of them ate something to replenish their energy under the guidance of Reed Richards, and then everyone went to take a good bath to get rid of their fatigue.
Now they no longer need to go out to save people. Nick Fury gave them a death order, which is to use the existing resources to help Reed Richards develop an antidote or serum as much as possible.
In the laboratory, Reed Richards kept staring at the head of the zombie experimental subject in front of him.
This captured zombie individual has now been completely dissected by Reed Richards, leaving only the head here.
Although the zombie's head has its eyes tightly closed, Reed Richards knows that he is still alive, or that he still has his own thoughts and ideas.
This is a strange existence that cannot be explained by any known science.
Reed Richards didn't know how long he stared at the round head. He still stared at the head until the Fantastic Three took a shower and put on their battle uniforms and came to the laboratory.
"Reed, have you found anything?"
Stoneman Ben walked behind Reed Richards and asked curiously.
Originally, they were going to study the antidote together, but because of Nick Fury's previous order and the fact that they really needed to go back to the Baxter Building to retrieve something, Reed was the only one here to study the zombie virus.
Now everyone doesn't know how far his research has gone. They only hope that Mr. Fantastic, one of the smartest people in the world, can make some progress.
".It's so beautiful."
Reed Richards was talking to himself obsessively, completely answering the question.
Hearing this, Stone Man Ben was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly. He turned his head and looked at the Invisible Woman and Human Torch behind him, only to see the two of them shrugging at him.
Curling his lips, the stone man couldn't help but ask again.
"What did you say?"
"What?"
Reed Richards seemed to be awakened, and his body trembled slightly.
He turned around without knowing why and saw the Fantastic Three standing in front of him.
As if he was a little overwhelmed by the appearance of these people, Reed Richards's eyes flashed with doubt and despair, but then, these emotions were overshadowed by excitement and joy.
"Oh, my dear friends, you came just in time. I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared."
Reed Richards smiled and opened his arms to hug the stone man.
But Stone Man Ben cautiously took two steps back and did not meet Reed's embrace. He frowned and looked at Reed Richards.
I don't know why, but looking at this very familiar friend, Shitou Renben suddenly felt a deep sense of strangeness in his heart.
