The End of the World: Chaos

Lu Yu suspended his experiment, ended his days of staying underground for several consecutive days, and returned to his own apartment.

He began to find out what had happened here during this period.

Although he had been away for a few days, he still wanted to know the details.

Through Rumlow's narration, Lu Yu found that everything was not out of control, and the situation had even improved.

Tony Stark was successfully rescued.

Rumlow's suspicion has been basically cleared thanks to the surprise attack and the help of his loyal subordinates.

Because the cover-up was done very cleverly, all the dead people were assigned to go out on missions. SHIELD already had many missions and a high turnover of personnel. All the people in Hydra worked together to cover it up, so that even Lu Dan couldn't find any clues.

Everything is still under control. Of course, there are things that are under control, and there are also some things that are beyond our expectations.

For example, the bald guy from the Ten Commandments Gang was arrested, and then in order to distance himself from the matter, he "admitted" a lot of responsibilities that were not originally theirs.

Then, at some point later, he accidentally "committed suicide".

This incident was indeed somewhat unexpected.

In contrast, although Hydra in Afghanistan still attacked the Winter Soldier who was forced away by Rumlow as planned, they actually chose to surrender to Rumlow, believing that Rumlow was not a suspect.

In light of Pierce's death, they chose to switch sides.

Although this matter is still hard to believe, considering that if they really surrender, they will be a considerable force, Rumlow chooses to continue observing and has not taken any action against them for the time being - those who truly surrender will be kept, otherwise they will be killed.

In addition, Tony Stark was only half alive when he was rescued, so he failed to mention the closure of the weapons department and is still receiving treatment in the intensive care unit.

Tony Stark's uncle Ethan, who was supposed to be the inspiration, survived, but was only half dead, and had to have one hand amputated due to improper treatment of an old wound and subsequent re-injury.

Then there's Obadiah, a guy who can no longer get away with it as he did before, nor can he play the role of a good uncle to Tony Stark anymore.

Because the bald man of the Ten Rings was caught, some things were exposed. Although it was proved that Obadiah had nothing to do with the incident, he was eventually arrested because he had sold arms to terrorists and intended to assassinate Tony Stark and monopolize the ownership of Stark Industries.

This operation is mainly led by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I've only been away for a few days, how come so much trouble has occurred?"

"Actually, there are some other things, but they are minor, so there is no need to go into detail."

"Then don't talk about it. How is the situation over at Hydra now? Is it stable?"

"It's relatively stable. Nothing major has happened. Hydra has basically recovered the forces that needed to be subdued. There are just a few more people who need to be carefully observed. SHIELD hasn't found anything unusual either."

The darkest place under the lamp does sometimes work!

Lu Yu didn't have much to explain. He exchanged some information with Rumlow, then cut off contact with Rumlow and summoned Skye and Lorna Dane.

Lu Yu felt it necessary to pay attention to their problems.

Although they are not from the martial arts faction, they should at least give some suggestions to improve their ability level.

When Lorna Dann saw Lu Yu, she asked in surprise, "Oh, you're out of confinement?"

"Out of seclusion? When have I ever been in seclusion?"

"So you've been missing for the past few days?"

"Just a little errand."

Lu Yu did not reveal what he did specifically, but immediately activated the Xiongxin and began to check Sky and Lorna Dane's current basic conditions.

"What's wrong?" The two were stared at by Lu Yu and asked curiously.

"See how your abilities are developing."

Lu Yu told Skye that her development was good, and that she was even close to completing the second stage and could enter the next stage. However, he told Lorna Dane that she had gained three pounds and her ability was developing very slowly, perhaps because she had already mastered a certain degree of ability, but was still weak in the control of her enhanced physical strength, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Lorna Dann was a little confused: "..."

Have I really gained weight?

Lu Yu sighed and motioned for her to listen carefully. Next, he decided to provide them with more ways to develop their abilities.

Skye interrupted subconsciously: "Help us train?"

Lu Yu glanced at her and replied, "No."

Not training? What is it?

This confused the two.

Lu Yu said that he would enroll them both in college so that they could combine their abilities with technology, which was the correct way to utilize their abilities.

The two were confused by this.

Lu Yu raised one hand, showing a coin shaped from particles, and made it rotate in mid-air.

"What's so strange about this? I can do it, too!"

Lu Yu did not respond. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared between his palms and the magnetic force increased.

"Is this your ability?" Lorna Dane said in disbelief.

However, the magnetic force in Lu Yu's hand continued to increase, and the coin gradually turned red, then melted into iron liquid and fell into his hand. Although it passed through his palm, it was still extremely hot.

Lu Yu asked Lorna Dane: "Except for your palms, can you withstand high temperatures? Can you do anything else?"

Lorna Dane was silent...

"Did you really just use my abilities to do all this?" Lorna Dann was still full of doubt.

"Give me your hand."

Lorna Dane held out her hand without hesitation.

Just like last time, Lu Yu held her hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Lorna Dann generously let Lu Yu hold her hand, but she didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Skye understood, but she didn't say anything.

It's best to let her experience this kind of thing herself.

Lu Yu held Lorna Dane's hand and turned it over, and a coin appeared in her palm as well.

Just like before, Lorna Dan

"Why bother to dwell on this issue?" Coulson did not give up and still tried to convince the other party.

“I really don’t care about ordinary items.”

Coulson thought about it for a moment and indeed agreed with his own point of view.

How could they care about ordinary things when they can produce such exaggerated equipment to fight against the army and develop high-end products like Hulk serum!

And Lu Dan was obviously reluctant to part with treasures like the Cosmic Cube.

It seems that this road is blocked.

Coulson couldn't help but sigh softly.

"You mentioned two things, didn't you? We've already talked about the first one, but what was the second one?"

"We hope to purchase the Hulk serum formula that you supply to the army. Even if we can't buy the formula, we would like to purchase some finished products from you." Coulson said after looking around and confirming that Bruce Banner had left.

After this period of communication, Coulson learned that Bruce Banner was unaware of the Hulk serum that Lu Yu supplied to the military.

Coulson didn't know what Lu Yu's real intention was. Out of consideration for his friendship with Lu Yu, he didn't want to involve Bruce Banner.

“Do you guys want that serum formula too?”

"You should have heard about what happened in Afghanistan recently, right?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"The military and our 793 agency have hidden some specific details!" Coulson revealed.

Lu Yu looked relaxed and pretended to be unaware of the situation, motioning Coulson to continue.

"On the surface, this operation was a joint effort by the military and intelligence agencies to dismantle terrorists who were trying to cause chaos, but in fact, all the intelligence agencies did was to find their location!"

“The army used the serum?”

"That's right. In order to gain credit, the military submitted a special experiment application to the White House under the pretext of an experiment. They conducted a so-called experiment in a terrorist hideout. In fact, it was an operation to steal credit!"

Coulson took a sip of tea and continued, "Because the United States is an important member of the World Security Council, we have no way to stop it. We can only symbolically participate in this matter together with other intelligence agencies."

"So you saw the power of the serum?"

It's more than just powerful! Coulson, who was lucky enough to witness the battle, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

That time, the army only sent a small team of people to attack after injecting the serum. However, the result shocked everyone - this small team actually suppressed a large group of enemies armed with Stark Industries weapons, and finally even defeated them completely.

If there had not been a prior rule that the terrorist leader must be spared, they would have killed everyone.

The scene was so shocking that everyone was stunned.

Ross, who was in charge of the development of the Hulk serum, also came to the fore again.

Seeing that the US military holds such power, Ludan couldn't sleep well at night.

It is undoubtedly very dangerous to hand over such power to the military. Of course, this is only a public statement. Privately, Ludan is actually worried that the military may get out of control, which will lead to a series of problems.

It was obviously impossible to cancel the research and development of this serum, so Lu Dan took another approach, hoping to master this serum himself, and found Lu Yu.

"The director has made it clear that no matter what conditions Ross gives, we can match them!" Coulson looked extremely serious at this moment.

Lu Yu fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

Given the need for a military spokesperson, giving the serum to Ross as a stepping stone to promotion was indeed effective. From being retired to being in high demand today, he has made a great comeback.

However, negative effects followed, and the power of SHIELD was weakened, and its influence may also be reduced. Correspondingly, the Hydra forces with the same roots were also affected and lost a lot of power.

Now more than half of SHIELD's power is under his control, which undoubtedly reduces its own strength to a certain extent.

Perhaps we can get something similar for SHIELD, which will not only enhance its own strength, but also increase Ross's power and respect. Once SHIELD has the strength to compete with the US military, the US military will have to rely more on Ross.

Considering both the pros and cons, Lu Yu finally decided not to provide this serum.

This is not because of Lu Yu's schizophrenia, but there are some reasons why he cannot act this way. Has SHIELD really reached the point where it needs to rely on Lu Yu?

Putting aside the Avengers plan that SHIELD has already begun to develop, the potential weapons numbered 084 alone are enough to eliminate all military personnel who possess the serum.

Therefore, Lu Yu did not need to do this. In addition, there was also the problem with Ross.

If Lu Yu really did so, the entire military project would receive more attention and develop more smoothly, no doubt about that. But at the same time, Ross would most likely become unable to hold his ground.

Currently, due to the fear of all parties, no one dares to easily seize the achievements in Ross's hands. But if the benefits are big enough for people to ignore the potential threats, the situation will change. At that time, perhaps they will choose to act together.

Just like the existence of nuclear weapons, when a country has nuclear weapons, it may try to restrain itself and use them only for deterrence, rather than proliferate them on a large scale to avoid wasting money. But if multiple countries have nuclear weapons, for their own safety, they have to invest a lot of resources to ensure that they have sufficient nuclear deterrence in order to maintain a balance.

In short, Lu Yu flatly rejected the proposal.

He said to Coulson: "I have reached an agreement with Ross that I cannot provide you with the Hulk serum."

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, before Coulson showed his disappointment, he added: "But I can provide you with the antidote serum!"

Antidote serum? This suggestion is also very attractive! Coulson's eyes suddenly lit up.
