[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

Chapter 5 Amber Embryo

Just one day of class in Midtown High School, the new classmates who have not fully started their new school life were involved in a superhero battle. This news shocked Peter and others.

In the cafeteria, Peter and Ned sat together as usual, the difference was that today Liz Allen also sat across from them.

Today's news is playing on the wall, and the shaking is obviously handheld. In the video, the screen is aimed at an apartment building with thick smoke, and the sound of gunshots can be heard in the distance. Iron Man in the iconic battle suit broke through a wall and rushed out, holding a vague figure in his arms, and flew towards the sky.

The screen freezes at a frame where the figure can be seen clearly, and then zooms in.

Messy blond hair, pink shirt nightdress, one foot bare and the other in a rickety slipper - as if worried people would be too stupid to see, the voice-over commentary played along with Dolly's photo come out.

"Dolores Samantha Green, a student at Midtown High School in Queens, was eating her own breakfast inside when Tony Stark fought the terrorists, and her family It was knocked out by Iron Man."

In the photo, Dolores's lovely face has a trademark bright smile, which can make people maximize their sympathy for this girl who has been affected by innocence.

Several news critics in suits and ties were sitting in the studio, facing Tony Stark's impassioned condemnation.

"The girl should take him to court."

"Miss Pep Potts, the official spokesperson of Stark Industries, publicly stated that she will be solely responsible for all losses and Green's medical expenses-how ridiculous! This is what they should have done, not to win favor!"

"Superheroes should be restrained, look at how much damage they have caused to ordinary people all day long, New York is not their arena!"

Their rhetoric was clearly unflattering, as the students sat in front of the TV and booed, "Somebody turn this thing off! Who wants to hear some mean old dude gossip about Iron Man?"

The TV was turned off, the nasty remarks were dropped from the Midtown High cafeteria, and Ned shook his head. "I really like her, poor Dolly."

Liz absently poked the vegetable salad on the dinner plate with a fork: "I hope she is not seriously injured. I want to visit her, but unfortunately I don't know which hospital she is in. It should be a private hospital arranged by Stark Industries, right? We Contact them, can I have the address and ward number?"

Peter remained silent. In fact, he was a little distracted, so full of worry that he couldn't get excited even when Liz was around him.

At some point, the silent Michelle suddenly appeared on the last chair of the table for four: "No, Dolly is not in the hospital."

Three pairs of eyes were staring at her at the same time.

"Do you know S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

The three looked at each other.

She raised a finger: "It is said that after the New York War, a mysterious national organization was responsible for everything related to the Avengers, including counting the losses in the battle."

"That's S.H.I.E.L.D."

Liz was full of doubts: "How do you know?"

Michelle: "Because my house was bombed with alien weapons during the Great War in New York - there was a dead alien lying in my kitchen - don't worry, no one got hurt or died, except my mom raised goldfish."

"Afterwards, someone came to my house to collect alien weapons and alien corpses. A fool accidentally dropped his ID card. I returned it to him. After I read it over and over again."

"There is a video of the evacuation after the battle recorded by passers-by on YouTube. Those superheroes and some government officials are talking, and the car next to it has the exact same pattern as that on the ID card."

"Yesterday, I found the records of the ambulance that went to the place where Iron Man fought to save people through some means. There were only a dozen people injured in total, and there was no record of Dolores."

Ned's mouth could swallow a whole egg: "I take it."

After this awesome deduction, all three of them looked completely convinced.

Peter couldn't help asking: "Is that SHIELD taking Dolly? Why?"

Michelle murmured, "That's the bad thing about this."

Peter suddenly remembered the current direction of responsibility of this mysterious government organization, and his heart sank gradually.

Something more serious than injury or even death must have happened to Dolores.

-----------------

Tony Stark was standing in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters laboratory at this time, facing the large white cocoon in a sealed box with Phil Coulson.

He stared at the white cocoon in the perspective window, which was motionless under the light of the blue box.

He did not give up and asked: "Have you really tried everything? Pulse also..."

Phil interrupted with a smile: "I'm sure the researchers have tried everything we can."

Tony sighed: "You know, I just can't expect the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. to give me any surprises. Open it."

Under the impact of his map cannon, Phil's self-cultivation did not fail. With an eternal smile on his face, he repaid his greatest tolerance to the wayward and occasionally very annoying Iron Man.

He took a step forward and pressed his hand on the center of the screen on the box. The palm prints awakened the password system. After entering the password with his fingers quickly, he stepped aside and gave the position to Tony who couldn't wait.

The box popped open with the sound of hydraulic pressure dropping, and the chemical gas for biological sedation immediately hit Tony in the face with its peculiar smell, causing him to cough.

At this moment, Phil stepped aside and picked up a small pulse gun from the messy table top with many small instruments and gadgets.

It was the one that Fitz used just now.

He pointed the needle-like muzzle at Bai Yu, and said at the same time: "The only thing we have found so far..."

Although he knew that all the weapons had been tried in turn, when Phil aimed the gun at the white cocoon that wrapped the girl, Tony still subconsciously stretched out his hand: "Wait!"

There was a special whirring gunshot, and a blue light immediately hit the white cocoon's not-so-hard surface.

As the faint fluorescent light dissipated, Tony rubbed his fingers lightly on the part where it was hit, with a sincere exclamation in his eyes: "Wow."

The ring was unscathed by a pulse gun capable of blasting a bank vault door, only slightly hot.

"After being magnified countless times, it can be seen that this special substance is composed of layers of 0.001 micron filaments. Its strength and toughness cannot be estimated at present. Any of our existing weapons cannot affect it in the slightest. It is completely was melted."

"But when we attack, the biological detection will fluctuate a little bit, and it will still light up." It's like Christmas lights with batteries.Phil didn't say this. He watched Tony's sugar-brown eyes narrow slightly, and his surprisingly long eyelashes fluttered occasionally because of his rapid thinking.

Tony stepped on the side of the battle suit box he brought with his toes, and the box suddenly stood up, opened, and the arm parts were quickly assembled on his outstretched right hand.

Phil raised his eyebrows, what does he want to do?

He pressed his right hand on the white cocoon, and the white light before the palm cannon was fired leaked from the contact between the steel palm and the surface and from the fingers.

Due to the short distance, the recoil cannot be ignored. Tony had to hold his arm with the other hand for strength, and leaned forward. With the continuous firing of the palm cannon, he wobbled and couldn't stand still.

The palm cannon was humming and booming, and the white cocoon was really like a charged lantern at the moment, absorbing every drop of energy and emitting brighter and brighter silvery white fluorescent light at the same time.

"Are you happy watching? I hope you can come up and help me."

The fluorescent lights almost illuminated the room, and Phil came back to his senses and stepped forward to press Tony's back hard so that he wouldn't be pushed by the recoil.

Amidst the chaotic buzz, Phil asked loudly: "What is this? Is it the lighting energy newly developed by Stark Industries?"

Tony turned his head slightly: "Of course! It's just that the energy supplied is a bit expensive."

"What's going to happen? Will it explode?"

"I don't know, I hope you're wearing a bulletproof vest."

"What!?" Phil asked a question like a roar.

Fortunately, there was no explosion, because Phil really wasn't wearing a bulletproof vest.

The white cocoon no longer gradually became brighter, its light was stable to a certain extent, it was a beautiful and soft silver-white light like moonlight.

At the same time, Tony saw that the surface of the white cocoon soon became slightly transparent. He could first clearly see the outline of the girl curled up inside, with her head buried in her knees, next to her big cat, hands and feet curled up. Why, Tony felt that this posture was very similar to the fetus in the mother's womb, calm and peaceful, full of security.

The white cocoon is constantly fading, and finally the transparency fades to the level of frosted glass or ice, and there is no change.

So Tony also stopped wasting palm guns. He shook his hands. His arms were a little sore due to the long-term use of his arms.

"Great, I still have [-]% of the energy left in this thing." He looked at the palm cannon and muttered, then removed the steel arm and put it back in the box.

At this moment, Dolores' figure was fully revealed. Through the thick barrier, they could see that the girl was completely sealed in a huge crystal or amber, like a weird work of art.

It's like people wrap insects and flowers and leaves in transparent substances to permanently preserve their shapes and subtle details.

At this moment, the heavy truth about whether she was alive or not seemed unavoidable.

Phil stood behind Tony and saw him staring at the girl for a long time with his back turned to him, as if he wanted to see the end of time.

A faint doubt rose in his heart.

He didn't hear Tony take a deep breath silently, and then let it out slowly, as if he could expel the surging guilt and all bad feelings in his heart with this breath.

Dolores was quietly frozen in the transparent cocoon, but the soft fluorescent light made Tony feel chills all over, as if he was the one who was enclosed in the almost indestructible cocoon, and everything outside felt It was closed, and only fear was left to coil around the whole body from the toes, like a snake crawling across the body.

"Tony? Tony?"

He probably stared at the quiet blond girl who was frozen into a fetal egg for about ten seconds, until Phil's suspicious voice woke him up and brought him back to the world from the dead silence.
