Marvel's Umbrella - Chapter 202
When Li Feng returned to the office, Luna ran over again.
“Boss, the military has placed a new order.”
Seeing that the other party was not happy but frowned, Li Feng immediately had a premonition.
“How much? What’s the price?”
“They want 100,000 sets of sentinel armor and 100,000 sentinel robots, the price is the same as before.”
This is a trillion-dollar order, and the US government can’t have so much money.
It seems that this dark elf invasion has completely let the US top brass open the money printing press.
This is not good news.
The over-issuance of currency leads to the depreciation of prices and market instability.
In the end, the wealth in your hands will depreciate and shrink.
More importantly, as the world currency, the over-issuance of the US dollar will make the whole world pay for it.
At that time, the whole world will be in chaos.
After thinking about it, Li Feng said: “We only accept equivalent gold.”
In troubled times, only gold can maintain its value, or even appreciate.
So if the currency is over-issued, it can only be offset by precious metals.
Luna hesitated for a while, then said: “They probably won’t agree.”
“If they don’t agree, we won’t accept the order.”
“This…I’m afraid it will cause huge trouble…”
What kind of trouble, Luna didn’t say, but Li Feng also understood.
It’s nothing more than tax inspections, fire inspections, etc.
Even the mayor of Raccoon City and official personnel such as the police station were replaced with their own people.
After all, this is the United States, a capitalist country, and the government is the biggest capitalist.
But after so many years of arrangements, Li Feng is naturally not afraid of the United States.
“Don’t worry, for so many years, we have been migrating our industries to the world just to prevent the United States from turning against us.”
“I understand.”
Seeing that Li Feng had made up his mind, Luna opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to persuade him.
Although she obeyed Li Feng’s orders 100%, she didn’t agree with this approach in her heart.
After all, most of their industries are still in the United States. If they break up with the United States, they will definitely suffer huge losses, and even go downhill from then on.
Seeing Luna’s tangled eyes, Li Feng also understood her worries, so he continued to explain: “Don’t worry, I have a new plan.”
Speaking of this, he looked up at the sky.
The stars in the universe are his journey.
Blue Star is just a stepping stone.
“Yes, boss.”
After that, Luna left the office.
After thinking for a while, Li Feng called Filia.
“How is the research on the mental force super-time and space delivery device going?”
“Boss, the research is going well, but there are still some raw materials missing.”
“What raw materials?”
“Helium-3, there is only a little in the deep sea on Blue Star.”
“Helium-3? Isn’t there a lot on the moon?”
“But we can’t go up.”
“That’s right, it seems that Reed’s research must be accelerated.”
…
Night.
Over Washington, DC, USA.
Sol, Tony, and Carol crossed the space rift and returned here.
Looking at the ruins of Washington, DC, they did not rush back, but began to discuss the situation.
Because they don’t know whether this space crack will remain unchanged, expand or shrink in the future.
So they have to be careful of Malekith’s comeback again.
“Should we stay here?”
Carol said this.
Faced with this proposal, Tony and Thor shook their heads instinctively.
“No, it’s too troublesome.”
“Yes, we should take the initiative to solve the problem.”
Mainly because they each have a woman who needs company, and it is impossible to waste all their time here.
What’s more, they don’t know whether Malekith will come back.
If he doesn’t come back, do they have to stay here forever?
Carol didn’t stop them, so she nodded and left.
A few minutes later.
She came to a low house in the suburbs of Washington.
“Nick, I’m back? Nick?”
After looking around, she didn’t find anyone.
At this moment, a black figure walked out of the cellar.
It was Nick.
He calmly closed the secret door of the cellar and said, “It’s very dangerous outside now…”
This explanation, which was not an explanation, made Carol feel disappointed.
It’s very dangerous outside. Although you are no longer a member of SHIELD, what about the justice in your heart?
Shouldn’t you fight against the dark elves outside and maintain world peace?
But she quickly gave up this idea.
After all, she knew Nick for so many years, and she thought she knew what kind of person he was.
“We have destroyed the alien spaceship, and the leader of the aliens, Malekith, has now fled to Asgard…”
After a while, she briefly recounted what happened during this period.
After listening, Nick just waved his hand disapprovingly and didn’t take it seriously.
“I am no longer the director of SHIELD. You can do whatever you want next.”
After that, he began to look for things in the house.
Seeing this scene, Carol immediately felt that Nick had changed.
He was not like this before.
But after thinking about it, she just assumed that the other party had too many things to do recently and had no time to pay attention to her.
After Carol left, Nick’s skin changed slightly and a touch of green appeared.
But soon, he returned to his original state.
“Soon…”
After a while, he found a set of black clothes, put on his cloak, and left mysteriously.
He didn’t notice that Carol didn’t go far. Instead, she looked at him with an incomprehensible look after he went out, and then followed him.
A few minutes later, Nick sneakily entered a luxurious mysterious manor.
With the appearance of Nick, several mysterious people wearing black cloaks also appeared around him.
Seeing this scene, Carol was suddenly shocked.
Has the other party joined some mysterious organization?
After a group of mysterious people entered the luxurious manor together with Nick, Carol thought for a while and continued to follow them.
But these people were very cautious. It was not enough to enter the manor. They were even locked in a secret room, and the voices they talked to each other were very low.
There was no way Carol could enter the secret room without alerting these people, so she could only worry outside.
But before she could come up with a good idea, the door to the secret room was opened again, and mysterious people hurried out, including Nick.
Instead of following Nick, she found a guy who seemed to be of high status and followed him.
After following him all the way, he discovered that the person he was following was actually a member of the U.S. Congress.
This immediately made her feel an aura of conspiracy.
Moreover, these people are mysterious and rarely have much contact with others. They seem to have big secrets.
…
on the other side.
After Tony and Sol said goodbye to Carol, they took Banner, Jane, Darcy, Natasha and others back to Los Angeles.
After flying back to his villa, Tony immediately took off his armor and walked in excitedly.
At this time, Pepper was wearing armor and sitting on the sofa, waiting anxiously.
She has been waiting all day.
After appeasing the employees yesterday, I stayed here, looking forward to Tony’s return.
“Pepper…”
When she really saw Tony appear in front of her eyes, tears instantly flowed from her eyes.
“Tony, are you okay and injured?”
Seeing Pepper trotting over with a worried look on his face, Tony’s mood suddenly brightened.
“Sorry for making you worry, I’m fine.”
After a moment of tenderness, Pepper finally noticed that someone else was there.
She knew Banner and Natasha, but not Thor, Jane and Darcy.
So after introducing each other, the seven people began to sit down one by one.
Pepper said with a look of disbelief: “Asgard? God Realm? Space Rift? It’s amazing.”
Tony also nodded.
“Indeed, it was hard for me to accept it at first, but it also opened up a new world!
Look, what I brought back. “
After finishing speaking, he took out pieces of iron ore from his arms.
These iron ores were brought back from Asgard. According to Thor, these are not ordinary ores.
For example, fire crystal, obsidian, etc.
It is said that these ores have magical properties. As long as he can study them clearly, he can add magic to his armor, which will definitely improve it to a higher level.
His biggest wish is to develop anti-Hulk armor, anti-Thor armor, anti-Captain Marvel armor, and anti-everything armor.
Pepper, Banner, Jane, and Darcy saw the red and black stones and immediately came over to check out curiously.
“What kind of stone is this? It looks like there is a flame inside. It’s so beautiful.”
“And this one, it’s twinkling inside, like stars.”
“Where do these stones come from? Agate is much more beautiful than any other gemstone.”
Upon seeing this, Thor introduced: “These are magical ores, such as this fire crystal. You can use magic to guide the flames inside and emit fireballs.
Now you know why we all say that Blue Star is a deserted land, because there are no such resources on Blue Star.
There are also some magical plants and magical animals that do not exist on Blue Star. “
Tony nodded when he heard this, showing a hint of emotion.
“Pepper, if I have the chance, I will definitely take you to see the unicorns.
The unicorn I saw yesterday was so beautiful. “
When Pepper heard this, she immediately felt a little excited.
“Unicorn? The mythical unicorn that represents holiness and innocence? Does it really exist?”
Jane and Darcy next to them were also excited.
“Unicorn? Is there an elf there?”
“Yes, are there any angels?”
“I didn’t see the angel, but the elves did.”
“Thor, why have you never told me this before?”
“Ah? Isn’t this a common thing? There’s nothing to talk about, right?
On the contrary, it is the computers, TVs, mobile phones, and cars on Blue Star that are novel. “
“Ah? What’s so novel about these? You can see them every day.”
After chatting for a while, even Banner was intrigued by this magical world.
…
Time slowly came to the next morning.
As soon as Tony woke up, he was pulled into the living room by Pepper.
“Tony, there’s big news!”
“The spokesperson of the Hoopoe Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that this is a battle between humans and monsters, and humans must take up all weapons to fight against the invasion of these monsters.
The hoopoe bird will kill these monsters at all costs to fight for the living space of mankind. “
After hearing this, Tony finally became more awake.
“What happened? Did those dark elves go to the Hoopoe Kingdom?”
Pepper shook her head.
“No, it’s the Ayiger Cult.
Last night, the Ayiger Cult, under the leadership of Leader Ruth, bewitched a large number of people from the Baba Sheep Kingdom, and then launched a terrorist attack on the Hoopoe Kingdom.
More than 300,000 people have died so far. “
“What killed 300,000 people?”
At this time, Thor, Banner, Jane and Darcy also came down from upstairs.
Pepper quickly told what she knew.
After listening, Banner rubbed his temples with his left hand.
“This world is really getting more and more chaotic.”
Jane and Darcy next to them nodded in agreement.
“yes.”
“Ever since…well…that apocalypse appeared four years ago, the world has become more and more chaotic.”
In fact, they wanted to say since Iron Man appeared, but after thinking about it, they changed it to Apocalypse.
After all, I am still on someone else’s territory.
At this time, the news continued to report.
“The Hoopoe Kingdom’s military has begun mobilizing 200,000 troops, and is continuing nationwide compulsory recruitment. It is expected that a million troops will be mobilized.
However, because of the shortage of weapons and ammunition, special envoys have been sent to Western countries such as the United States of Europe and the United States to request assistance.
At the same time, the North Bear Country condemned the Ermao Country, saying that the other party should not cancel the North Bear language in schools, as well as the deeds of various great people. “
After reading for a while, Tony found that they all reported foreign news. It seemed that these news media deliberately avoided domestic news.
“Jarvis, how is the situation in the country?”
“Mr. Stark, the situation in the country has been stabilized.
The fleeing aliens were gradually arrested or killed, and many superheroes emerged during this time. “
“Is the situation stable? Where are the wreckage of the Dark Elf spaceship? And where are the small spaceships? Isn’t anyone trying to rob them? Aren’t foreign forces peeking in?”
Tony disagreed with Jarvis’s words.
You must know that after the old ruler left two years ago, foreign forces were crazy about grabbing everything.
Some mutated monster, a fusion of monsters, not even a bit of flesh and blood is spared.
Of course he knows what these people abroad think.
Just like in the United States, everyone is trying to figure out what kind of virus this is, develop a vaccine or antidote, or control this virus.
But two years have passed, let alone control, even the shadow of antidote and vaccine has not been seen.
Because no one can understand the principle of this virus, or in other words, no one has discovered the virus.
Even he and Banner have been studying the virus for more than half a year, but they haven’t found anything yet.
It is as if there is no virus at all. The infected people are completely indistinguishable from ordinary people at the cellular and genetic level.
Even if some viruses are discovered, they are common viruses on Blue Star and have nothing to do with turning into monsters.
“Mr. Stark, just last night, the U.S. military announced that all eleven aircraft carriers have been activated and the country is on level one alert.” (End of Chapter)
