From Alliance to Marvel

Chapter 33 Rescue Pepper
[Stark Security Network, Retina Confirmation]

"Pepper, it's me. I have a lot to apologize for, but not enough time, (Pepper smiles.) First of all, I didn't deserve to put you in danger. I was selfish and stupid, and this will never happen again."

After listening, Pepper's mood improved, and he turned to look at Zeng Hao and Steve.

He took off his mask and said to the two of them: "Tony is fine, I knew he would be fine. Thank you, Zeng Hao. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to get through this afternoon."

Zeng Hao and Steve were also very happy, well, Steve was brought here by Zeng Hao.

At this time, Dr. Maya also found everyone and expressed that he wanted to chat with Pepper, the kind of two people.

Pepper saw that Maya was looking for him, so he asked Zeng Hao and Steve to go back first. He was fine, so there was no need to worry.

Seeing that Pepper had indeed returned to normal, Zeng Hao felt relieved and followed Steve back home first, waiting for Tony's return.

Of course, this is just a blindfold. Zeng Hao thinks that Pepper is definitely not safe at this time, otherwise how could Pepper be injected with the Extremis virus in the movie.Therefore, after Zeng Hao pulled Steve out of Pepper's sight, he secretly followed Pepper to protect her.

Pepper was driving the car. On the road, Pepper took the initiative to ask Maya.

"Why did you come to Tony, what is so important?"

"My boss may work for the Mandarin. If you want to continue talking, I suggest finding a safe place to talk."

Pepper couldn't believe it, "Your boss works for the Mandarin? But Tony said you're a botanist,"

"Well, I'm actually a DNA cryptographer. I lead a group of 40 people in a private think tank, but you can call me a botanist."

Pepper asked further: "What's your boss's name?"

"Qi Li'an in Aode District."

Hearing this name, Pepper couldn't believe it.

Seeing Pepper's expression, Maya nodded, indicating that it was the person Pepper was thinking of at this time.

Two groups of people came to a hotel one after another.

Pepper sat on the bed and Maya continued to discuss the problem in the car.

"What the hell happened?" Pepper asked.

Maya looked gloomy, as if recalling something bad.

"It's ironic. Before building rockets for the Communist Party, von Braun, an idealist, had fantasized about space travel. He had a dream. Guess what he said when he bombed London for the first time?"

After a pause, Maya continued to speak.

"The bomb exploded perfectly, but it fell on the wrong planet. We were all naive at first, only pursuing science, and then became arrogant and stubborn. By the time we found out, it was too late."

Pepper enlightened Maya and said to him: "Maya, don't criticize yourself, you just hand over the research to the think tank."

Maya still couldn't let it go, and retorted: "But Qi Li'an's think tank is funded by the military."

Pepper saw that Maya's emotions became agitated, and continued to comfort: "We used to be like this. Don't judge yourself."

Maya's mood gradually calmed down, and she thanked Pepper with a sincere tone.

"Thank you, Pepper. Really appreciate it."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Boom, boom.

Pepper got up to answer the door.

The door was pulled open from the inside, and it turned out to be the waiter who came to deliver the food.

Pepper stepped aside to allow the waiter to push the dining cart into the room.

But a pair of evil hands reached out to the waiter.

uh~
Qi Li'an broke the waiter's neck and walked into the room.

Pepper heard a strange sound and turned to look at the door.

The scene of Qi Li'an breaking the waiter's neck was seen by Pepper, and Pepper quickly shouted into the room: "Maya, run."

Zeng Hao and Steve, who heard the yelling, ran out from the next room, just in time to see Pepper being strangled by Qi Li'an at this time, leaning against the wall, with his feet dangling in the air.

"Put her down, or I won't be polite."

Steve came to his senses and said to Qi Li'an.

Zeng Hao secretly planted seeds under Qi Li'an's feet and in his room to prepare for emergencies.

"Oh, oh, let's see who it is. It turned out to be Tony Stark's good friend. Mr. Zeng Hao and the famous Captain America. Why, it's not good to break into other people's room."

Hearing Qi Li'an's words, Zeng Hao knew that this person obviously knew himself and others, at least the people around Tony.

The seeds were launched immediately, and the vines drilled out from under the floor at Qi Lian's feet, coiled up like snakes, bound Qi Lian's legs, and tried to destroy his balance, thus saving Pepper.

But it didn't seem to be as Zeng Hao thought, the vines wrapped around Qi Li'an's legs began to lose their color, turn yellow, and started to burn, as if being roasted by someone holding a fire.

When Zeng Hao saw this, he knew that this person had definitely been injected with the Extremis virus, and now he was in trouble.

Steve didn't know about this, and saw him rushing towards Qi Li'an, Zeng Hao immediately put a buff on him, the big move of old man Time.

Steve's fist hit Qi Li'an directly on the face, and a fist-sized depression appeared on Qi Li'an's face immediately, but as Steve retracted his fist, the depression gradually disappeared until he fully recovered.

Then, Qi Li'an slammed Steve's abdomen with his free left hand, and his left hand radiated a hot feeling from the inside out, directly penetrating Steve's abdomen.

Steve suffered severe abdominal injuries and fell to the ground immediately.

Zeng Hao saw that it was okay, but fortunately he gave it a buff, otherwise he would be gg.

Qi Li'an looked at Zeng Hao at this moment, smiled contemptuously at Zeng Hao, and waved.

Zeng Hao is thinking quickly about how to deal with it. With the abilities of Zyra and Sett, he will definitely not be able to defeat the enemy in front of him, right.

Nanny's enchantment of silence.

Zeng Hao summoned Soraka and ordered to release the [Astral Barrier] at Qi Li'an's feet.

A purple circular enchantment appeared at Qi Li'an's feet, and Qi Li'an felt that the power in his body was gradually disappearing, and the temperature in his body was also plummeting.

Seeing the effect, Zeng Hao quickly asked Soraka to continue.

The strength in Qi Li'an's body was suppressed, and his right hand had no strength to continue to pinch Pepper's neck, so he had to let Pepper go, and at the same time he was imprisoned in place.

Pepper quickly ran to Zeng Hao's side. Zeng Hao protected her behind him and manipulated the vines to roll up Steve. Now is not the time to fight recklessly.

Qi Li'an naturally had Tony come back to teach him a lesson, and he must protect Pepper well at this time.

Zeng Hao retreated first with the two of them and returned to the car.

Pepper was a little devastated when he saw the hole in Steve's stomach.

"I'm sorry, I hurt him. I'm sorry, Zeng Hao, for getting you involved."

Zeng Hao waved his hand and signaled Pepper to drive and go back to Zeng Hao's home first.

Zeng Hao sat behind and supported Steve's 'body'.

As time passed, the large hole in Steve's abdomen and the damaged stop gradually returned to normal.

Since Steve himself has a much higher recovery ability than ordinary people, the time required for resurrection is shorter than that of Coulson.

Three people, no.

But before the two of them returned to Zeng Hao's home, Steve's injuries had completely recovered.Steve opened his eyes, saw himself leaning on Zeng Hao's shoulder, subconsciously touched his stomach, huh?What about the hole?
Steve still remembers being pierced through the abdomen by that strange man with his palm, and the severe pain and burning sensation appeared at the same time, and he couldn't bear the pain.

"Uh, why am I alive again? Zeng Hao, did you save me?"

Steve's voice came from the backseat, and Pepper was dumbfounded.

Pepper had already seen Steve's wounds at that time, a huge penetrating wound plus a large area of ​​internal abdominal burns, Steve, who had lost his breath in the first place, now spoke again.

Zeng Hao saw Pepper who was driving in a daze, and hurriedly woke up Pepper who was in a daze.

"Pepper, Pepper. Don't be dazed, drive carefully."

Pepper reacted and immediately turned his attention to driving, but still did not forget to ask Zeng Hao.

"Zeng Hao, did you do all this? Back from the dead. You brought Steve back to life."

Zeng Hao was not surprised to see Pepper, who was still a little emotional. After all, a dead person was successfully resurrected in the back seat of his car.

"Don't get excited, it's a very simple principle, go back in time, you know. Rewind Steve's state to when he was not injured, so he was successfully resurrected."

Steve also recovered from the fact that he was resurrected, and looked at Zeng Hao with gratitude in his eyes.

Zeng Hao felt that it was necessary to remind the two of them that this ability of his was not unbreakable.

"Of course, this ability also has disadvantages, that is, it can only be released to one person at a time, and there must be an interval in between. And it is impossible to go back to the dead without a whole body."

Although there are various restrictions, it can indeed be called a divine skill.

Zeng Hao looked at Steve who had woken up, shook his shoulders, and signaled Steve to move his body away from his shoulders, it would be bad if others saw him.

Of course, Zeng Hao also saw the gratitude in Steve's eyes, but being looked at affectionately by a big man, Zeng Hao felt his ass hurt.

He said to Steve: "Don't thank me so much. After all, I brought you into this matter, and I will be responsible for your safety. The most important thing now is to find out what the Mandarin is up to. abacus."

Pepper interjected: "I heard from the woman named Maya that Qi Li'an works for the Mandarin. Maybe we can start to investigate from Qi Li'an."

After getting useful information, Zeng Hao felt that he and others needed help, so he took out his mobile phone and called Natasha, why not call Furui, Zeng Hao could only say that there might be something wrong with your aesthetics.

Natasha is currently performing an infiltration mission in order to obtain some top-secret information.

hum~
There was a vibration from the clothes, Natasha pressed her ear, and hung up the phone.

However, the caller didn't seem to give up and called again.

After repeated repetitions, Natasha stopped sneaking in, and found a hidden place to connect to the phone, to see if it was the one who was not afraid of death calling herself at this time.

Well, at first glance, it was the strange restaurant owner.Well, I can't win, so I can only slow down my tone and whisper:

"I have a task now. If you don't give me a good explanation, I will destroy your relationship with that Chinese girl."

Since Zeng Hao turned on the speakerphone, all three people present heard Natasha's threat.

Uh, Zeng Hao looked at Pepper in front of him, his shoulders were shrugging, um, he should be smiling.

Md, Natasha, you wait for me.

"Ahem, of course I'm looking for you for something. I just saved Steve's life. How can I say this? Is this an explanation?"

As a senior agent, Natasha could easily tell that Zeng Hao was using the speakerphone. There were other people around him, and one of them was still holding back his laughter.

"Isn't the captain living with you? What danger can you encounter?"

Zeng Hao snorted at Steve and said to explain to her.

Steve reluctantly said to the phone: "It's me, Steve. I was indeed saved by Zeng Hao just now. Do you know what happened at Tony's villa today? Tony had an accident, and I And Zeng Hao came to Pepper to protect her and prevent her from being harmed. I was attacked by a person just now, do you know Qi Li'an?"

Steve briefly talked about what happened today. Natasha obviously didn't know what happened today, so she said that she was powerless and said:

"You go to Fu Rui, I still have to perform the task, so I hang up first."

Then hung up the phone directly.

Zeng Hao and Steve glanced at each other and reached a consensus.

Still get Fury.

Zeng Hao called Fu Rui again, and the phone was answered as soon as it rang.

Furuina's unique voice came from the phone.

"Zeng Hao, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to help me find a person and what's behind him. All I know is his name—Qi Li'an and him work for the Mandarin, and they have some kind of special ability."

"Why should I help you? Although I owe you once, do you want to use that favor?"

Last time he helped Furui resurrect Coulson, so Furui felt that he owed Zeng Hao a favor, and gave Zeng Hao his private phone number, saying that Zeng Hao could ask him to make a request that did not violate his bottom line at any time.

"Of course not. I'm saving the son of the original founder of SHIELD. This time it doesn't count. You check it first, and then send it to my computer at home. By the way, find us a safe place, address, Remember to give me passwords, permissions, etc. I will hang up first, so I won’t disturb you. Bye bye.”

After finishing speaking, Zeng Hao didn't wait for Fu Rui to say anything, and hung up the phone directly, ignoring Fu Rui's question.

It's impossible to suffer a loss, even if you pay it back this time, don't ask me to save you next time if you have the ability.

Zeng Hao put away his mobile phone and said to Pepper: "How long will it take to get to my house, let's go back and get the information before going to a safer place."

　Thank you for the recommendation tickets of Sad Crisp Qingyan and Deep Blue Moon Night.Thanks.
