Laura's Beautiful Journey

Two weeks have passed since Laura returned to New York, and the news that Tony has shut down the Stark Group's weapons department indefinitely has become old news.

In the past two weeks, after calling Ross to report that he was safe on the day he came back, the rest of the time was spent eating, drinking, playing and sleeping.

This can be regarded as a way of self-regulation. Although the trip to Yamatai was good, it actually put a lot of mental pressure on Laura.

The island is full of dangers, and your nerves are always tense. Even when you rest at night, there are booby traps at the entrance of the cave, a dagger hidden under your body, and a pistol beside your pillow.

Moreover, Laura, who had never even killed a chicken in her previous generation, had started killing on the island in this life, and it was a killing spree. From various small animals to cultists to mercenaries and storm guards, killing has almost become a habit in the end. Ethan also said that his eyes were so cold that it was chilling.

And gradually thinking about it, her actions this time also exposed many shortcomings.

First of all, she relied too much on the plot in her memory. The sudden appearance of the Holy Trinity and the mercenaries caused her a lot of trouble. In the end, the fisherman's gain was a lot of luck.

Secondly, there was insufficient preparation for the battle. Like the last battle against the fake Himihu, it wouldn't have been so embarrassing if he had brought two more explosive arrows.

Finally, primary strengthening still brings about psychological arrogance, which in layman’s terms is a bit too arrogant.

In the past two weeks, I have not only dealt with the above problems, but also explored the new skill "Solar Body".

Originally, Laura thought that this skill was the same as that of the Kryptonian next door. She could become stronger in all directions by exposing herself to the sun. After a few years of exposure, she could fly out of the solar system and beat up the purple sweet potato spirit.

However, it is not that buggy. The strengthening of her body by 'Sun Body' is a one-time operation, which roughly doubles the energy limit and raises the temperature limit to 3000 degrees. She can recover her physical strength by basking in the sun, and the maximum The advantage should be that when using high-temperature energy, it will no longer cause harm to the body.

Combining her own and external conditions, Laura feels that there are two directions for strengthening in the short term.

1. Ark Reactor and Mark-like series armor.

The prerequisite is to obtain the right to use the Ark Reactor, whether it is licking your face and asking Tony for it or waiting for Ross to find Anton Vanke and his son.

The advantage is that you can rely on various advanced weapons to fight. After the energy is exhausted or the armor is damaged, you can still use your own abilities to fight, making the enemy defenseless.

The disadvantage is that it currently does not have the ability to independently design and manufacture various new weapons, and without AI-assisted combat capabilities like Jarvis, its combat effectiveness is estimated to be reduced by 50%.

2. Make every effort to develop your own capabilities.

The advantages are obvious. The body's high temperature, heat vision, and after mastering the combat skills, it can be used for both distance and close combat.

The shortcomings are also obvious. It has a single attack method. Once it encounters an enemy who is not afraid of high temperatures, it will be blinded.

After thinking for a while, Laura decided that she wanted it all!

Develop your own abilities first, wait for external forces to mature, and then seek development.

After making up her mind, Laura went underground and started practicing.

The shooting range that was once used for firearms practice is now used for heat sight practice.

Fixed target training accuracy, dynamic target training reaction ability and dynamic vision, with the release of heat vision again and again, Laura gradually found the feeling, and the more she played, the more excited she became.

Laura had to stop training after an hour. She was still in good condition, but the underground training ground was already a mess, with small flames everywhere.

I turned on the automatic fire protection equipment and suddenly heard the phone ringing, so I pressed the call button.

"Miss Crawford, there is a staff member claiming to be from the FBI outside the door."

The butler's voice came out.

Laura casually called up the door surveillance, and the picture showed a gentle-faced man with a worrying hairline.

"Let him come in and take him directly to my office on the third floor."

Laura took a quick shower, covering up the smell of fireworks on her body with the fragrance of shower gel, then turned and went upstairs to meet the serious and professional 'head of the novice village'.

..................

In the office on the third floor, Coulson was observing the facilities in the room.

"click"

The door opened and a girl in a bathrobe walked in.

Coulson stood up immediately, smiled and said to the girl: "Hello, Miss Crawford, I am Agent Booth from the FBI."

Laura didn't expose his lie, she walked straight to the boss's chair and sat down, saying, "Hello, Agent Booth, what does the FBI want to see me for?"

Coulson still had a smile on his face: "That's right. We noticed that you and Tony Stark took a flight back from the Kandahar Air Force Base. Can you tell us about your relationship?"

"I know you, my friend."

Laura's answer was succinct and to the point.

"So how did you meet him in the Middle East?"

"Traveling, passing by."

"Can you tell me your travel route?"

"Hong Kong, Japan, the Middle East."

"Did you know that Stark was kidnapped at the time, and were you involved?"

"I don't know. I'm not interested. I'm rich."

"..."

Coulson was unable to ask for any useful clues, because Laura had a cold face and concise and excessive answers throughout the whole process.

Soon, the two ended their conversation, and Coulson stood up and said goodbye with the same smile.

After returning to the car, Coulson called an unknown number and began to report.

"I have already been in contact with Lara Croft. She is young, beautiful, and has a bit of an awkward personality. These are consistent with the information.

He seems to have a good relationship with Tony Stark and is a 'food friend'.

No other special abilities were found, no hostility was found, and the records near the Sea of ​​Japan in the travel records are missing. People can be sent to continue the investigation in the future, but I think the most critical thing at the moment is Stark. "

"Well, I understand. You can continue to contact Stark tomorrow."

"Okay, Director."

.............

At this time, in a sea-view villa, Tony was lying on the sofa, his face was gray and his blood vessels were bulging. Obadiah pointed a device at the reactor on his chest.

"Tony, you are still so childish. You just announced the closure of the weapons research and development department, but you secretly made what may be the most powerful weapon of this generation."

After pulling out the Ark Reactor, Obadiah held it up to Tony's eyes.

"This is the last golden egg laid by your golden goose. Your mission has been completed. Enjoy your last time."

After mocking Tony again, Obadiah felt that his inner resentment towards the Starks and his son had finally been released. He put away the Ark reactor, walked outside and asked the villa security not to go in and disturb Stark's rest, with a smile on his face. Smiling, he got in the car and left.

The reactor was pulled out of his chest, and the shrapnel that had been adsorbed began to move inside Tony's body. After finally regaining some mobility, he ignored the excruciating pain and moved step by step towards the original reactor packaged by Pepper. , just before he was about to touch it, Tony could no longer hold it up and collapsed on the ground.

There was a mechanical sound, and 'Die', who had been disliked by Tony countless times, placed the glass box containing the reactor firmly in front of him.

With a smile on his lips, Tony grabbed the box and smashed it down hard.
