Transforming American comics starts with a leap of faith

Chapter 111 One hundred million ah one hundred million
As soon as Jarvis finished speaking, Tony felt a weak shock.

The tremor showed a gradual, gradually stronger trend.

Until later, he also heard the voice.

It seemed to be a roar from the depths of the earth, and the earth trembled.

Tony Stark was a little lost, and found a place to sit on the ground.

Justin Hammer ran away early, and he seemed to be the only one in this place at this time.

He took off the helmet and put it beside him, staring blankly at the front, not knowing what he was thinking.

A little knowledge: New York State is not in an earthquake zone.

The worst earthquake in New York City's history was only a magnitude 5.5.

That goes back to 1884.

The big event that happened in the same year, which is more worthy of being remembered, was the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York.

God seems to be particularly partial to this city, giving it a unique geographical location, but it doesn't have to be hit by fires and earthquakes like Los Angeles.

But right now, God seems to be casting a curse on the city, and that curse will continue for the foreseeable future.

In any case, Tony knew the shaking from the ground.

They have failed.

This failure belongs to the New York City government, to S.H.I.E.L.D., and even to America.

Also belonged to Tony Stark.

Frustrated, he covered his face with his hands and rubbed vigorously.

No one likes to fail.

But it is impossible for a person to succeed forever. Whether he is a hero or an ordinary person, one day he will taste the bitterness of failure.

Sometimes this day comes earlier, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Only the worst losers feel sorry for themselves in their misery and depression.

An outstanding person will always gain stronger strength in failure to win his own success.

There is no doubt that Tony Stark is a remarkable man.

And Camille, who was walking towards him, was of course the same.

Tony: "I thought you were going to disappear like you always have."

Camille didn't say a word, she found a step and sat down, her blue eyes flickered slightly, probably thinking about something.

She came here because Tony called the others to come and meet.

Facing the clown, they have been defeated many times in a row.

Time to have a good talk.

Not just about the past, but also about the future.

The city named Zaun will have an unknown impact on New York and the whole world for a long time to come.

You have to think of something and make some preparations.

As for whether the city of Zaun can be established... probably no one will doubt it.

There is as much dangerous research on this planet as there are fish in the Hudson River, both openly and covertly.

prohibit?

If prohibition is useful, I am afraid that half of the troubles on this earth will be reduced.

And there are countless dangerous elements that were born from these dangerous experiments, or are strange in themselves.

As long as Zaun can demonstrate the ability to maintain the city's "chaos", these dangerous experiments, and those more dangerous criminals and vagrants, must be happy to take refuge in this emerging city.

Such a concentration of power... To some extent, Zaun can also be called a golden city.

Among other things, if it weren't for being too close to the mainland, the American military would definitely be one of the first organizations to board Zaun.

Of course, there is also Hydra that Tony and others don't know about.

Tsk, the earth in the Marvel universe is really an unlucky place.

Camille and Tony are not in high spirits now, and the former is even more of a big ice cube, so there is only an unembarrassing silence between them.

This silence was not broken until the arrival of Victoria and Catherine.

After the shaking of unknown magnitude stopped, it took a long time, probably after the work report was over, before the two girls came to meet up.

Catherine glanced at the almost ruined expo venue, and said with a sigh: "It seems that your fight here is much more lively than Long Island."

This is nonsense, because there is no real fire on Long Island.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missions this time are divided into Level [-] and Level [-].

The first level is to prepare for the worst. If the enemy successfully blasts Long Island, of course, the residents who have received the earthquake warning and left their homes must be guided to quickly evacuate and evacuate.

And without affecting the evacuation of residents, investing enough force to prevent the opponent's blasting operation is the second level.

In other words, ensuring the safety of Long Island residents is the highest priority.

Therefore, the first-level goal was completed, and the second-level goal was not completed, which is not unacceptable for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Their mission cannot be considered a complete failure.

In such a miraculous blasting operation, there were almost no casualties for nearly a million residents... This is indeed a miracle.

But Victoria's intentional or unintentional words made Catherine suspicious.

Victoria: "The higher ups seem to be conniving on this matter..."

When the silly elder sister said this, in front of her was the magnificent scene of Long Island in half.

To be honest, according to SHIELD's usual style, the priorities of these two tasks are almost the same... at least they should be parallel tasks.

Although this way of prioritizing is very humane and meets the requirements of humanistic care and morality, even among the bottom-level agents, this way of dividing has been recognized.

But the reality is, this isn't so "SHIELD."

He does not mean that.

Catherine knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. was in trouble, so it was inevitable that she would pay more attention to such words.

She hasn't told anyone so far, and is going to investigate quietly by herself.

After the unlucky researcher made a fart, Catherine's clues were cut off. It's better to find out who gave the order, maybe you can find something.

But this is something to say later, the fact today is that there is almost no fight on Long Island.

After all, they didn't put all their energy into finding the enemy.

It was only after James Rhodes came to support him that he discovered some clues by relying on his high mobility.

But when he wanted to catch the fire, the clown came back again...

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the order from above gave priority to ensuring the smooth completion of the first-level tasks.

All in all, Long Island is far less lively than here.

Tony took a breath and slowly exhaled:

"There's no need to reminisce about the past, everyone is acquaintances, including this..." He looked at Bingcuo who had been silent all this time, and asked in a tone of voice.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Big Bing Cube finally said his name.

"Camille."

Tony nodded: "Miss Camille, you and I have also fought side by side."

Victoria: "What do you want to say?"

This silly elder sister is probably the most sad, because she saw her sister doing bad things again.

This put her in a bad mood, and there was a little impatience in her tone, and she wanted Tony to finish the sentence directly.

The latter shrugged and signaled OK.

"Needless to say, everyone lost miserably today."

Camille touched the scar on her abdomen, but said nothing.

Tony continued: "In fact, this is not the first time. We also encountered a setback when we recovered the magic sword."

The two female S.H.I.E.L.D. agents nodded.

"I found that when facing the clown and his accomplices, we seem to be at a disadvantage all the time. Have you ever wondered why?"

Several people began to think along Tony's words.

Is it because they are weak?

Obviously not, the combined resources behind them are enough to destroy a small country.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark Industries, they have this strength.

If it comes down to personal strength... Aside from the unfathomable clowns who seldom fight, at least they are not at a disadvantage.

Before Victor showed up, they were even considered a big advantage.

But if you run into it, you will still suffer...

The problem is obviously not in strength or weakness.

Catherine said hesitantly, "We don't have a central character like a clown?"

In fact, she wanted to talk about the leader, but obviously, they are not an organization, so naturally they don't care about the leader.

Kratos seems to be able to be the central figure, but he is elusive, reticent, and too detached, so he is not suitable for this role.

The answer made Tony nod, followed by another shake.

"Whether there is a core figure is just an appearance. What we really lack between each other is trust and unity."

Catherine: "That's not enough... In terms of trust, I still have a little bit of trust in you, let alone Victoria."

"Will you trust me like you trust Kratos?" Tony had a painful expression on his face.

This question made Catherine chuckle: "That's too difficult."

Tony clapped his hands:
"This is what we lack. When we act together, we don't have a sense of trust that we can trust each other with our lives. Therefore, when we face clowns, we always have a feeling that we can't use our strength."

Victoria nodded: "It makes sense, but this level of trust...can't be cultivated in three or two days."

Tony spread his hands: "I didn't say it was today. In fact, it's not just that you don't trust me that much. I also have a scrutinizing attitude towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. behind you."

Catherine laughed: "You really dare to say it today!"

"No, I've always dared to say that before, I just thought it was unnecessary, and I just had to make do with it."

"what about now?"

Tony: "I have a hunch that Zaun will be a long-term problem. To defeat those people, you can't do it in a mess."

"That's not like something you would say, Tony, won't you be dropped?"

Catherine looked amazed: "You shouldn't say that you can handle everything by yourself!"

Tony smiled: "You know me quite well."

"It's not me who understands you, it's Little Pepper who understands you."

Thinking of his little lover, Tony sighed slightly:
"Don't think too much, compared to gaining your trust, it is exponentially more difficult for me to trust you."

"Tsk, that makes sense."

Victoria chimed in to speed things up.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Tony: "Simple, trust comes step by step. Let's start with the simplest one, information exchange."

Catherine was very interested: "Information, what's the point?"

"No, intelligence can be useful or useless, but it must be true. This is the basis of trust."

Victoria: "Then who will come first?"

The three looked at each other for a while.

In the end, Camille, who had been silent all this time, took the initiative.

"The clown has mastered an acceleration ability, which is very fast. There is also a problem with his dagger. Even the mechanical construct will be poisoned and weakened."

"Ha, such useful information." Catherine was dumbfounded: "I just thought about recommending a delicious pizza shop, you let me know what to say."

Camille: "..."

Victoria: "I didn't say Catherine, it's you who are outrageous this time."

……

One morning a few days later.Long Island was broken, and the clown's construction of the city was completely fermented.

This is of course good news for Su Ge... because the progress of [-] million has finally been completed!

His growth rate is indeed quite fast.

But this is not important. For Su Ge now, he hopes that the achievement unlocked can give him a surprise.

After all, the next progress is 100 billion... How long will it take to squeeze the wool...

No doubt it will be some time.
