A mechanical master of a certain manga

The winter sun is very warm, but even so, people on the streets of New York still wear tight clothes for fear of catching cold. In a city where people have to wait in line for months to see if they have a cold, most Americans are accustomed to dealing with minor illnesses on their own, except for the rich, of course.

Eric Severn put on a coat, which looked a bit thin, but in fact he thought the clothes were too heavy. As an enhanced person transformed by the Extremis Virus, his body can generate high temperatures at all times, including melting metal and iron.

In this case, it is really difficult for him to feel cold in the mere winter. If he didn't want to attract too much attention, Eric Seven wouldn't even want to wear this jacket. A T-shirt would be enough.

Eric Seven walked among the crowd, following the flow of people along Fifth Avenue. After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to a men's clothing store, opened the door and walked in.

Ignoring the clerk's enthusiastic sales pitch, Eric Severn walked directly to the fire escape for the merchandise.

When passing by the safety exit, Eric Seven touched a decoration next to the passage.

This relief-like decoration sank, revealing a passage underground. This is a secret base of the AI ​​Corporation, specially prepared for these desperate virus enhancers. The higher the level of soldiers, the more independent secret bases they have.

However, this place does not belong to Eric Severn, but to the dedicated secret base of another Extremis virus enhancer.

Before Eric Severn lost his memory, he was almost Killian's right-hand man. He was the strongest among the Extremis virus soldiers and belonged to the captain level. Therefore, Eric Seven holds many secrets about other Extremis virus soldiers, including the locations of these secret bases.

Walking all the way down the passage, Eric Seven came to a basement with enough light. Blocking the way was a heavy metal door.

The door didn't have any keyhole, no combination lock, and not even the handle to open the door was visible. Eric Severn was not surprised. He reached out and pressed on the door and started to activate his ability.

His palms turned red. When the high temperature reached the inside of the iron door, he heard the sound of mechanical structure changes, and the heavy iron door slowly sank to the ground.

This is a temperature-sensing door lock specially designed for those who have been strengthened by the Extremis virus. It cannot be opened by ordinary people.

But after walking in, it was empty, with only some simple furniture and no one in sight.

"I'm going to wait and see." An electronic voice came from Eric Seven's shoulder, and a robot the size of a palm revealed its body.

This is of course Li Bai, who was assigned by Rorschach to Eric Severn's side to help him complete his mission.

"Although I know a little Chinese, you should keep it simple." Eric Seven said a little helplessly. This robot's capabilities are indeed very powerful, but it is loaded with a Chinese system, which makes communication a bit difficult.

Eric Sai has learned a little bit of Chinese, but his level is almost equal to the English level of Chinese primary school students. One or two basic conversations are okay, but when it comes to idioms and proverbs, I really know nothing about it.

"What I mean is that you have to wait here for that person to arrive." Li Bai explained in straightforward words.

"That's right, Hank has also been notified and will definitely come here to get his amulet before heading to Iraq." Eric Seven said and opened a locker in the basement. There was nothing gold or silver in it. Jewelry is not a high-tech weapon, but a small glass bottle.

The bottle was filled with formalin and human ears. Judging from the outline and size, the owners of these ears are probably underage children.

"Heinous evil deeds," Li Bai said angrily.

This time without a translator, Eric Seven was able to understand Li Bai's meaning and responded: "Yes, Hank is a complete villain. Although I myself am a person who deserves to go to hell, Hank is even more hateful than me." Ten times. In fact, when I was still in the company, I had already planned to kill him, but Killian valued his power and kept stopping me."

"Although this man deserves to die, don't forget the commander's order." Li Bai reminded Eric Severn.

Li Bai had been secretly protecting Wanda, but some time ago Pietro needed to go to Canada to recruit new mutants. Wanda asked Li Bai to go with Pietro, because his facial simulation function could make it easier for Pietro to sneak in.

I just didn’t expect that not long after I left, Wanda was kidnapped by Karl. Although Luo Xia did not blame Li Bai for this, he felt that it was only his own responsibility.

Therefore, Li Bai must be perfect in the tasks assigned to him by Luo Xia and not allow any mistakes.

"Don't worry, this guy is my replacement. Killian was afraid that my prestige among the Extremis Virus soldiers would be too high, so he promoted this pervert. Now that I have been confirmed dead by them, this mission in Iraq must be He will be the leader." Eric Seven said firmly.

The task Rorschach gave Eric Severn was very simple, which was to infiltrate the AI ​​company's operations again and then deliver the message to Rorschach. Before the AI ​​company took action, they killed all their people in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Eric Severn's first reaction was to come to Hank, a guy who had long disliked him.

After waiting in the basement for several hours, Li Bai suddenly said to Eric Seven, "There are footsteps."

Li Bai is a robot. His vision and hearing are far beyond ordinary people. Even the enhanced Eric Seven cannot compare with him.

When Eric Seven heard this, he immediately walked to the iron gate.

There was a low sound, and the iron door was opened. As soon as the man walked in, he was pressed against the wall by Eric Seven.

"Eric, what are you doing?" Just as Hank recognized Eric Seven, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

A sharp needle penetrated his skin, and before it was melted by the high temperature, Eric Seven injected all the medicine inside into Hank's body. When Hank wanted to immediately raise his body temperature to resist, he found that the Extremis virus in his body had become inert and could not be mobilized at all.

"This is the medicine to prevent us from blowing up. I've added ten times the concentration, so you can stop struggling." Eric Seven proudly said to Hank.

The Extremis Virus is an unstable enhancement. When strongly stimulated, the Extremis Virus enhancer will turn into a bomb. This drug is used to suppress the Extremis virus from getting out of control. After increasing the dose, Hank will be unable to use the energy of the Extremis virus.

Before Hank could figure out why Eric Seven, who was obviously dead, appeared in his secret base, he felt a cold chill on his neck, and his head was cut off like this.

And because the Extremis virus failed, Hank didn't even have a chance to be reborn, and became a corpse with separated heads.

Li Bai shook off the blood on his sword and said to Eric Severn: "The appearance has been recorded, let's set off immediately."

As he spoke, Li Bai turned into a translucent mask and covered Eric Seven's face, making him look like Hank. Fortunately, the two of them have very similar figures, and even their hairstyles are not much different. This disguise is almost seamless.

When Eric Seven left here, he directly used high temperature to melt the structure inside the iron door, making the secret room no longer open.

At the same time, Luo Xia was sending a batch of newly manufactured T800 robots to China.
