A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 109 Tony's Proposal

The discovery log in the laboratory is not an experimental log, but a personal log.

That's normal. Unless there are special circumstances, how could a research institution leave behind something as important as experimental logs during a normal evacuation?

Moreover, judging from the content, the owner of the log is clearly not the Supreme Evolution, but an employee from the Aogo Company.

Why are you so sure?

Of course, it's because the other person started by introducing themselves—and it was entirely in English.

The other party was neither an Earthling nor a native of the wilderness, but a person temporarily recruited from a planet called Bran.

It seems that English is indeed the universal language throughout the Marvel Universe.

However, this logbook doesn't contain much useful information.

It only recorded the general situation of the other party after they were recruited and came to Earth.

From initial anticipation to later complaints.

They say Earth is a barbaric and backward place.

The only useful content consists of three items.

One is that the log states that the Wildlands are not the creation of the highest evolution, but rather an older and more advanced civilization.

Therefore, although the Supreme Evolution was obsessed with this place and would occasionally capture some test subjects, it did not dare to stay here for too long or make extensive modifications to it. It also repeatedly warned the researchers not to act recklessly here.

Therefore, most of their experiments were not conducted here, but in a place called "New Colony".

Clearly, based on Levi and Tony's analysis and some descriptions in the log, this new colony is not on Earth.

It's clear that this Ogo company is indeed an alien company.

The highest evolutionary form is most likely alien.

The second is the Supreme Evolution, which has another laboratory or delivery point on Earth in North America, but this Bran obviously doesn't know the exact location.

The last one is the Wilderness, which is indeed on Earth, and just as Levitoni had guessed, it is located beneath the Antarctic continent—that is, beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, which has an average depth of over 2000 meters, and even deeper underground.

In addition to the portal through which Li Wei and his group entered, there are two other entrances and exits that allow them to enter and exit the Wilderness Continent.

On the contrary, they learned about the Supreme Evolution from Shanna about the teleportation array that Li Wei and the others had used before.

Clearly, for Levi and Tony, this third part is the most important.

If they do build a floating city here in the future, then the entrances and exits will definitely need to be monitored and sealed off.

I just don't know if there will be any other entrances or exits besides these three.

"Besides that, it's clear that this isn't the first time the Supreme Evolution has come to Earth. We don't know when he'll come again. If he discovers that the lab has been invaded, it will probably cause another problem," Li Wei said, frowning.

“I’ve been thinking about something,” Tony said.

"What?" Li Wei looked at him.

“Why should we limit ourselves to waiting for these aliens, like the Chitauri or Thanos, to come to us, instead of taking the initiative, going into space, finding the Infinity Stones first, and then going to their territory to wipe them out!” Tony said.

"Your argument is nothing new to me; in fact, you did exactly that in Infinite Wars... and do you think I haven't thought about it?"

"But a very real problem is before us. Not to mention that we know nothing about the situation in the universe, we can't even solve the problem of transportation for a single person... Or are you already confident that you can build a spaceship?" Levi said to Tony helplessly.

"Or do you expect me to open a portal to Thanos's lair, which is light-years away?"

"Our best chance is to wait until Thor comes to Earth and ask him for help. As for now, there's no point in thinking about it. Right now, Thor is still a clueless bastard. If he really comes to Earth, he'll be the one being worshipped as king by the people, not the one helping us."

Even without experiencing exile, Thor was still an extremely arrogant maniac.

Relying on him for help during this period might be less effective than collaborating with Loki.

"Furthermore, we lack channels of communication with Asgard... Heimdall will not heed the calls of outsiders like us."

Tony was silent.

Yes, that is a very real problem, namely transportation.

He doesn't yet have the capability to develop a spaceship with ultra-long-range flight capabilities.

Not to mention they didn't even know where their destination was.

The universe is so vast. Without a star map, even if we had a spaceship, we would probably just die inside it and never find other civilizations.

Seeing Tony deep in thought, Levi wisely refrained from disturbing him.

Shanna stood by, watching the two of them sleep, completely bewildered.

She felt that she understood the words these two people were using, but why couldn't she understand them when they were put together?

“Perhaps we can work with someone else,” Tony said after a long silence.

"Cooperate with whom? Wakanda? Taroken? Let alone whether those self-imposed isolationists would agree, even if they did, I don't think they could help us much with interstellar travel." Levi was somewhat speechless.

“Not with them.” Tony’s expression was solemn.

"Not them? Then who is it? Could it be... um? Are you serious?" Li Wei's expression changed.

“Yes, if I’m not mistaken, there should be a corresponding communication system in this laboratory, which might allow us to contact him… If we have the right leverage, why can’t we cooperate with him? It’s clear that this Ogo Corporation has considerable influence in the universe, isn’t it?” Tony said.

"What? You actually want to cooperate with that madman? Are you crazy?... Right, I should have realized it sooner. What kind of good person could an arms dealer like you be!" This time, Shanna understood. Tony Stark actually wanted to cooperate with the Supreme Evolution that had tortured and modified her?
How could she possibly accept this?

"Sanna, you have no idea what kind of crisis we will face in the future. It is a super crisis that involves half of all life in the universe, do you understand?" Tony said impatiently.

"So you're going to go along with a bastard?" Shanna was furious.

“That’s right, if necessary!” Tony said coldly.

"Bastard!" Having lived in the jungle for four years, Shanna was full of wildness and immediately wanted to go forward and tear him apart.

"Calm down, Shanna," Levi quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Things aren't that bad yet. Tony only made the worst possible suggestion. Don't get so worked up."

At the same time, he also felt some resentment, thinking that Tony spoke without regard for the occasion.

Then he looked at Tony.

“Tony, I know you’re worried about that crisis, but we still have more than a decade. As long as we seize the opportunity, it won’t get that bad, and we won’t have to compromise right now, right?” Levi carefully defined Tony’s suggestion as compromising, so that Shanna would understand that his choice was not based on personal interests.

This is true.

Faced with Li Wei's persuasion, Tony nodded and didn't bring it up again.

And Shanna did not continue to lash out.

The conflict was thus averted.

However, Li Wei knew that this was only temporary.
