Chapter 608 Kidnapping Threat
"Okay, back to the delivery room, Jarvis."
The door panel of the laboratory slid open, and Tony walked into the room while wiping his sweat and asked at the same time.
"How is the situation of our new member?"
"The assembly has been completed according to your requirements and is being painted."
At the same time as the sound sounded, a transparent three-dimensional image appeared suspended in front of Tony.
Iron Man Armor.
The brand-new model is a whole generation ahead of his original design expectations of the Mark series, and is ahead of the future armor that debuted an unknown number of years.
It all started from that dream.
Somehow, he saw his future. A nightmare in which he personally created the worst evil, a nightmare in which he customized a ruined future.
It was also a warning that allowed him to pull back from the brink. He realized how deeply he had been swallowed up by fear without realizing it, and his anxiety led him to make a hasty decision.
Fortunately, it's not too late, everything hasn't come true yet.
Tony weighed the Ultron project over and over again and realized that there were still too many things he didn't understand about the project. Maybe Ultron was not a good idea from the beginning.
But new inspiration emerged.
Meteor Technology.
What he saw in his dream was the fantastic technology. It was strange. Although he knew that the entire dream was unreal, he knew that this technology was extremely real for no reason.
Just like this glimmer of inspiration that he had magically generated.
A well-known person who did not want to be named once said that those who build the Kingdom of Light’s technology tree are borrowed from the Earth’s technology tree and those who build it are stolen. Although this mainly describes the earth of Open, it is not impossible to put it in Marvel.
Stark is also very good at technical breakthroughs. He has used technology to reproduce the superpowers of various teammates, such as Wolverine's self-healing Spider-Man's spider sense, the strange magical power of Thor's lightning, and so on.
At the same time, a lot of technology was stolen from various sources. Among them are some of the more cutting-edge interstellar technologies like the Kree Skrulls, and he even stole a lot of technologies from Kang the Conqueror's 41st century.
His ability to learn and develop new technologies is also second to none.
Meteor technology is his biggest inspiration at present, and it is also the key to this new armor under development.
This will be the culmination of all the Mark series to date. With the ability of nanomaterials to deform and reshape at will, it can freely deform and switch between all previous Mark series models, and can adapt to any environment and be competent for any job. It can be used like the Hulkbuster to maximize output, or it can be sneaky and stealthy like the nightclub.
While I was busy in the laboratory, a communication screen suddenly popped up, along with a burst of communication request prompts.
"Hang up Jarvis, I'm a little busy right now." Tony said casually without raising his head, "Just say I'm not here right now."
But when the words fell, the communication was already connected.
"What?" Tony looked up, "Didn't I tell you that?"
"I didn't answer it, sir," Jarvis said.
Tony frowned and finally stopped what he was doing and raised his head.
He quickly realized what was happening.
His communications were hijacked.
And this is not something that just anyone can do. Few people can mess with his system.
"Triangulation, Jarvis. Keep recording and tracking the source."
"Okay, sir."
Tony turns to the camera.
"Tony Stark." A vague voice came from the other side of the screen. But no faces appear.
"Sorry, who is it?" Tony frowned, "I have too many old acquaintances, why don't you show your face and help me recall them?"
"Don't bother trying to seduce me, Stark. You don't know me, and we've never met."
Tony thought the voice and tone sounded a little weird, as if an emotionless AI was reading on a stick. The way he spoke and the words he used were also somewhat unnatural, as if they were translated from different language habits.
"There's no need to try to track it, human technology can't keep up with us."
Tony's heart moved. Human technology?
This statement
"Are you aliens?"
As he asked, the scene he had experienced a while ago appeared in his mind. Loki, the Battle of New York, the god-like giants, and then there are the other dimensions in the desperate base, those monsters called super beasts
Tony doesn't think it's his fault, but he does have some PTSD from aliens recently.
But the other party didn't answer, just sneered hoarsely. Tony noticed an address coming through the screen.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Where you want to come." The man said, "Alone, within half an hour. Don't tell anyone. Of course, it will be useless even if you do. No one can help you."
"So why do I do this?" Tony asked.
"Because we have the people you care about, the people you care about most."
Tony's pupils shrank.
Recently, he often had ominous premonitions. Although he never admits it to others, sometimes even he feels that he was a little reckless back then.
At the press conference, in front of the TV cameras, he arrogantly announced to the world, "I am Iron Man." That once made him very proud, satisfying the needs of others to appear holy. After all, he was not born with a flamboyant personality.
But as he experiences more and more, he can't help but start to reflect. Because this kind of irresponsible behavior may indeed have consequences. Iron Man may be invulnerable, but Tony Stark is not, and the friends around him are not.
And now it seems that the time has come for that nightmare to come true.
"What are you talking about?"
While he was asking questions, he was already thinking rapidly in his mind. He couldn't help but think about who would be held hostage. The most likely person was Pepper, or maybe Roddy, or maybe Happy. Every one of them was someone he was willing to risk his life to save.
Then I saw everything on the screen, giving it to the disgraced and tied-up hostage.
His blond hair was dirty and his wrinkled old face was covered in dust. The guy who looked haggard and seemed to have been tortured was actually Alexander Pierce, the apparent superior minister of SHIELD and the actual leader of Hydra.
Tony: "?"
He was confused for a moment.
no
It seems that we are not very familiar with each other?
What do you mean by tying up this old man and threatening me?
As a result, this confused reaction seemed to be regarded as shock by the kidnappers. The other party smiled with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand? We have obtained your closest friend.
Now, if you care about his life, come alone to the designated address."
Tony: "."
For a moment, he even wanted to say, if you want to quarrel, just do it. I'm not familiar with my buddy.
No, saying that is an understatement. Tony actually doesn't like Pierce very much. Every time Pierce shows up, he either puts pressure on the Avengers or asks them for something.
If I must say it, it’s actually a bit of a hostile stance.
And that's even without Tony knowing that Pierce is a terrorist leader.
Of course he didn't say that in the end. After all, he is still a superhero and must have professional ethics.
"Okay, don't worry, I promise to go on time, alone."
Agreeing to the kidnapper's request, Tony hung up the communication, turned around and immediately took out the Avengers contact card.
"Avengers assemble, we have a situation."
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Jarvis.
"By the way, Lao Jia, I also need to inform Fury. They said that their boss has been captured by someone and we have to find a way to rescue him. The other person may be an alien. The Avengers are about to take action. Tell them to watch and take care of them."
