The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 182 Heavy Duty
Can the Avengers take up the responsibility of defending the earth?
For now, Nick Fury is pessimistic about the comparison.

He stood on the command bridge, staring at the big screen deeply and solemnly, watching the falcon-type fighters flying towards the city of Manhattan carrying these superheroes who had just met for less than 5 minutes.

Even with Captain America, a noble and heroic leader, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and other undisciplined "stabs" will not keep their feet and command like arms.

But right now, there is no other choice.

As the fighter plane gradually approached the Empire State Building, the electromagnetic wave communication became unstable, and the real-time scene transmitted to the space carrier with the help of the transmission image device in the uniform of the Avengers also became blurred and the frames were dropped and disordered.

If the assumption that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s logistics department withheld equipment is excluded, then the failure of the image transmission system must be related to the plague itself.

Nick Fury set his sights on Leon as a microbiology consultant.

The latter was analyzing the mechanism of the strains in the plague samples with the expert team, and found that Director Fury glanced over and said casually: "The network structure inside the plague strains can act as neurons to transmit bioelectrical signals.

The strain tree at the top of the Empire State Building is so huge, it is estimated that it already has its own intelligence and can emit wide-area electromagnetic interference. "

Director Fury's face became gloomy again, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean that tree knows that we might investigate it?"

"Maybe."

Li Ang said casually: "We have too little information about the other party. In the face of such a powerful existence that pops up suddenly, any conjecture may be established."

"."

The black one-eyed man is not used to the powerlessness of being trapped in the black hole of intelligence. He took a deep breath, leaned closer to the microphone, and pressed the button, "Steve, report the situation."

Captain America’s line of sight was reappeared through the broadcast. Although it was not clear, he could get a general idea, "...we have reached the bottom of the Empire State Building and are gradually approaching."

The veteran from World War II wore not only the new armor, but also a full-coverage isolation mask, which can prevent airborne spores from being sucked into the body.

In addition, Captain America is also carrying a huge suitcase, which contains a series of scientific research instruments provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury stared at the screen and ordered: "Very well, stay vigilant and don't disturb the creep itself."

"clear."

Captain America walked into the main entrance of the Empire State Building with a group of members of the Avengers in strange costumes, and the internal scene could be seen through the broadcast screen.

This luxurious building, which was evaluated by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1955 as one of the seven engineering miracles of the modern world, has been completely occupied by creepers.

Creep covers every colonnade, floor, and corridor, and even the landscape plants in pots are not spared, all wrapped in a layer of green.

The entire hall was empty and depressing, like an empty coffin, waiting for the dead to lie in it.

As a consultant, Li Ang pulled over the microphone and asked softly: "Steven, can you check the creep on the ground? Just cut off a handful with scissors and put it in the detector."

"can."

Captain America obeyed, and after a while, the data from the portable detector was projected on the large screen on the S.H.I.E.L.D. command bridge.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really weird."

Li Ang just glanced at the extremely complicated data on the screen, and he roughly understood the pathogenic mechanism of the strain.

He shook his head and said with deep emotion: "Generally speaking, in biomedical engineering, pathogens are classified with Biosafety Level, or BSL.

Dozens of pathogens like variola-like virus, Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus, Marburg virus, and Ebola virus are BSL4-level and must be studied in laboratories with the highest level of security.

Creep itself is not toxic. It is more like a special petri dish in a BSL4 level laboratory, where hundreds of samples of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and micro-parasites are stored.

Once the creeper begins to expand, the pathogens stored on it will spread, and the entire human population may be wiped out by the overwhelming army of pathogens before they can react. "

Nick Fury's hand twitched invisibly, he turned his head, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Leon, then what method can be used to suppress or even eliminate the creep?"

Li Ang said with a smile: "Hehe, the creep itself is still just a eukaryotic organism similar to fungus, and it is not tough. Whether it is a napalm bomb or a flamethrower, it can be destroyed together with the pathogen.

It's easy to clean up, but not so easy to clean it up. "

Nick Fury frowned deeply and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Ang said quietly: "I have checked the data sent by the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, and a large part of the people blocked on the bridge have inhaled a certain amount of spores.

The inner layer of the skin has grown a layer of fungus, and in some severe cases, the lungs have been completely hollowed out by the creep, showing fibrosis.

In other words, the people of Manhattan and even New York are becoming part of the creep. "

Li Ang didn't turn off the communication when he spoke, so the members of the Avengers in the Empire State Building could hear him clearly.

Captain America staggered and almost fell. Looking at the empty hall, he asked awkwardly, "Mr. Li Ang, can they be saved?"

"Yes, maybe not."

Li Ang spread his hands and said: "The fungus will eat away the internal tissue of the organism and replace it. The entire corrosion process takes a very short time, which is also the origin of the mutants you saw.

But for now, the creep itself has fallen into a kind of dormant period, and the fungal corrosion rate in the bodies of ordinary people has also been greatly reduced-this is why I think the creep has some kind of telepathic ability.

In short, the CDC is intensively developing an antidote that can inhibit or even eliminate unknown fungi, and all you have to do is to find out the truth inside the Empire State Building as soon as possible and help us save 800 million New York City residents. "

After finishing speaking, Li Ang pulled the microphone and said in a deep voice, "Their life and death depend entirely on you."

The atmosphere of the entire Helicarrier was solemn, and all eyes were on the Avengers on the big screen.

At this moment, these "transcendents" who were considered freaks by mortals realized for the first time the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

What Li Ang said was extremely accurate, and at the same time, Nick Fury couldn't get in. He could only add in the dead silence of the bridge: "...Steven, keep going up the stairs, don't disturb the outside of the building variants."

"clear."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Captain America became more determined to fight. Even the members of the Avengers, who were originally disobedient, put away their thoughts and climbed up in silence.

And that Director Nick Fury resisted the desire to touch his bald head, looked at Li Ang who was standing on the side, faintly supported by the awe and respectful eyes of others, and thought to himself: "Uh, what's going on, the commander here Isn’t it me? When did it become him?”
