Marvel's Umbrella

When Li Feng returned to the office, Luna came over immediately.

"Boss, the military has placed a new order."

Seeing that the other party was not happy but frowned, Li Feng suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

"How much? What's the price?"

"They want 100,000 sets of Sentinel armor and 100,000 Sentinel robots. The price is the same as before."

This is an order worth trillions of dollars, and the US government cannot possibly have so much money.

It seems that this invasion of the dark elves has completely forced the US top brass to start printing money.

This is not good news.

The excessive issuance of currency leads to falling prices and market instability.

Eventually, the wealth in your hands will depreciate and shrink.

More importantly, as the world currency, over-issuance of the US dollar will make the whole world pay for it.

By then the whole world will be in chaos.

After thinking about it, Li Feng said: "We only accept gold of equivalent value."

In troubled times, only gold can maintain its value or even appreciate in value.

Therefore, if the currency is over-issued, it can only be offset by precious metals.

Luna hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't think they will agree."

"If you don't agree, then don't accept the order."

"This... may cause huge trouble..."

Luna didn’t say what the trouble was, but Li Feng understood.

It's nothing more than tax inspections, fire inspections and so on.

Even the mayor of Raccoon City and official personnel such as the police station were replaced with their own people.

After all, this is the United States, a capitalist country, and the government is the biggest capitalist.

However, after so many years of arrangements, Li Feng naturally will not be afraid of the United States.

"Don't worry. Over the years, we have been moving our industries around the world to prevent the United States from turning against us."

"understood."

Seeing that Li Feng had made up his mind, Luna opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to persuade him.

Although she obeyed Li Feng's orders 100%, she actually did not agree with this approach in her heart.

After all, most of their industries are still in the United States. If they break up with the United States, they will definitely suffer huge losses and may even go downhill from then on.

Seeing Luna's tangled eyes, Li Feng also understood her concerns, so he continued to explain: "Don't worry, I have a new plan."

Having said that, he looked up at the sky.

The stars in the universe are his journey.

Blue Star is just a stepping stone.

"Yes, boss."

After saying that, Luna left the office.

After thinking for a while, Li Feng called Filia.

"How is the research on the mental force super-time and space delivery device going?"

"Boss, the research is going well, but we are still missing some raw materials."

"What raw materials?"

"Helium-3. There is only a very small amount of it in the deep sea on the Blue Planet."

"Helium-3? Isn't there a lot of it on the moon?"

“But we can’t go up.”

"Yes, it seems that Reed's research must be accelerated."

……

night.

Over Washington, D.C., USA.

Thor, Tony, and Carol crossed the space rift and returned here.

Looking at the ruined Washington, D.C., they did not rush back, but began to discuss the situation.

Because they don't know whether this space crack will remain the same, expand or shrink in the future.

So they also have to be careful about Malekith's comeback.

"Should we just stay here?"

It was Carol who said this.

Faced with this proposal, Tony and Thor shook their heads instinctively.

"No, it's too much trouble."

"Yes, we should take the initiative to solve the problem."

The main reason is that they all have women who need their company and it is impossible for them to waste all their time here.

What's more, they don't know whether Malekith will come back.

If they don't come back, do they have to stay here forever?

Carol didn't try to stop them, so she just nodded and left.

After a few minutes.

She arrived at a low house in the suburbs of Washington.

"Nick, I'm back? Nick?"

After looking around, she didn't see anyone.

Just then, a black figure walked out of the cellar.

It was Nick.

He calmly closed the secret door of the cellar and said, "It's very dangerous outside now..."

This explanation, which was not really an explanation, made Carol feel disappointed.

It's very dangerous outside. Although you are no longer a member of SHIELD, where is the justice in your heart?
Shouldn't we be out there fighting the dark elves and maintaining world peace?

But she quickly gave up on the idea.

After all, she had known Nick for so many years, and she thought she knew what kind of person he was.

"We have destroyed the alien spaceship, and the alien leader, Malekith, has now fled to Asgard..."

After a while, she briefly recounted what had happened during this period.

After listening to this, Nick just waved his hand disapprovingly and didn't take it seriously.

"I am no longer the director of SHIELD. You can do whatever you want with me next."

After saying that, he began to look for something in the house.

Seeing this scene, Carol immediately felt that Nick had changed.

The other party was not like this before.

But after thinking about it, she just assumed that the other party had too many things to do recently and had no time to pay attention to her.

After Carol left, Nick's skin changed slightly, with a hint of green appearing.

But soon, he returned to his original state.

"almost…"

After a while, he found a set of black clothes, put on his cloak, and left mysteriously.

He didn't notice that Carol didn't go far. Instead, after seeing him go out, she gave him a strange look and followed him.

A few minutes later, Nick sneaked into a luxurious mysterious manor.

As Nick appeared, several mysterious men in black cloaks appeared around him.

Seeing this scene, Carol was suddenly shocked.

Has the other party joined some mysterious organization?
After a group of mysterious people and Nick entered the luxurious manor, Carol thought about it and continued to follow them.

But these people were very cautious. It was not enough for them to just enter the manor, they even locked themselves in a secret room, and they spoke to each other in very low voices.

Carol had no way of entering the secret room without alerting these people, so she could only stand outside and worry.

But before she could come up with a good idea, the door of the secret room was opened again, and mysterious people hurried out one after another, including Nick.

Instead of following Nick, she found a guy who looked like he was of high status and followed him.

After following him all the way, she found out that the person she was following was actually a member of the U.S. Congress. This immediately made her feel a sense of conspiracy.

Moreover, these people are mysterious and usually don’t interact with others. It seems that they have a big secret.

……

on the other side.

After saying goodbye to Carol, Tony and Saul took Bennett, Jane, Darcy, Natasha and others back to Los Angeles.

After flying back to his villa, Tony immediately took off his armor and walked in excitedly.

At this time, Pepper was wearing armor, sitting on the sofa, waiting anxiously.

She had been waiting all day.

After comforting the employees yesterday, I have been waiting here, waiting for Tony to come back.

"Pepper..."

When she really saw Tony appear in front of her, tears instantly flowed from her eyes.

"Tony, are you okay?"

Tony's mood suddenly improved when he saw Pepper trotting over with a worried look on her face.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry, I'm fine."

After a while of tenderness, Pepper noticed that there was someone else there.

She knew Banner and Natasha, but not Thor, Jane and Darcy.

So after introducing each other, the seven people began to sit down one by one.

Pepper said in disbelief: "Asgard? God's Realm? Space rift? It's amazing."

Tony also nodded.

“Indeed, I also found it difficult to accept at first, but this also opened up a new world!

Look what I brought back."

After saying this, he took out pieces of iron ore from his arms.

These iron ores were brought back by him from Asgard. According to Thor, these are not ordinary ores.

For example, fire crystal, obsidian and so on.

It is said that these minerals have magical properties. As long as he can study them clearly, he will be able to add magic to his armor, which will definitely take him to a higher level.

His biggest wish is to develop an anti-Hulk armor, an anti-Thor armor, an anti-Captain Marvel armor, an armor that can resist everything.

When Pepper, Banner, Jane and Darcy saw the red and black stones, they immediately came over to check them out out of curiosity.

"What kind of stone is this? It looks like there's fire inside. It's so beautiful."

"And this one, it twinkles inside, just like stars."

"Where did these stones come from? They are much more beautiful than gemstones or agates."

Seeing this, Thor began to introduce: "These are minerals with magical powers. For example, this fire crystal can use magic to guide the flames inside to produce fireballs.

Now you know why we all say that Blue Star is a barren land, because there are no such resources on Blue Star at all.

There are also some magical plants and animals that do not exist on the Blue Planet at all."

When Tony heard this, he nodded and showed a hint of interest.

“Pepper, if I have the chance, I will definitely take you to see the unicorn.

The unicorn I saw yesterday was so beautiful."

When Pepper heard this, she immediately became slightly excited.

"Unicorn? The unicorn in mythology that represents holiness and innocence? Does it really exist?"

Jane and Darcy beside them were also very excited.

"Unicorn? Are there fairies there?"

"Yes, yes. Are there any angels?"

"I didn't see the angel, but I did see the elf."

"Thor, why didn't you ever tell me this before?"

"Ah? Isn't this a very common thing? Nothing to talk about, right?
On the contrary, the computers, televisions, mobile phones, and cars on the Blue Planet are new and novel.”

"Ah? What's so new about these? We can see them every day."

After chatting for a while, even Banner was intrigued by this magical world.

……

Time slowly came to the next morning.

Tony had just woken up and was pulled into the living room by Pepper.

"Tony, big news!"

"The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that this is a battle between humans and monsters, and humans must take up all weapons to fight against the invasion of these monsters.

The Hoopoe Kingdom will kill these monsters at all costs to gain living space for humans."

Hearing this, Tony finally came to his senses.

"What happened? Did the dark elves run to the Hoopoe Kingdom?"

Pepper shook her head.

“No, it’s the Aige Cult.

Last night, under the leadership of leader Ruth, the Aige Cult bewitched a large number of Baba Sheep people and launched a terrorist attack on the Hoopoe Bird Kingdom.

So far, more than 300,000 people have died.”

"What's the death of 300,000 people?"

At this time, Saul, Banner, Jane and Darcy also came down from upstairs.

Pepper quickly told her what she knew.

After listening, Banner rubbed his temple with his left hand.

"This world is becoming more and more chaotic."

Jane and Darcy beside them nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

"Ever since the apocalypse four years ago... um... the world has become increasingly chaotic."

In fact, they wanted to say since the appearance of Iron Man, but after thinking about it, they changed it to Apocalypse.

After all, I am still on someone else's territory.

At this time, the news continued to report.

"The military of the Hoopoe Kingdom has begun mobilizing 200,000 troops and is also continuing with compulsory conscription across the country, and it is expected to mobilize a million troops.

However, due to the shortage of weapons and ammunition, special envoys have been sent to the United States, Europe and other Western countries to request assistance.

At the same time, the North Bear Country condemned the Ermao Country, saying that the other side should not cancel the North Bear language in the school, as well as the deeds of various great men. "

After watching for a while, Tony found that they were all reporting foreign news, as if these news media were deliberately avoiding domestic news.

"Jarvis, what's the situation at home?"

“Mr. Stark, the domestic situation has been stabilized.

The fleeing aliens were gradually captured or killed, and many superheroes emerged during this period."

"Is the situation stable? What about the wreckage of the dark elf spaceship? And what about those small spaceships? Is there no one trying to steal them? Aren't there any foreign forces spying on them?"

Tony disagreed with what Jarvis said.

You have to know that after the Old One left two years ago, foreign forces went crazy snatching everything.

What mutated monsters, what fusions of monsters, they won't let go even a bit of flesh and blood.

Of course, he knows very well what these people abroad are thinking.

Just like in the United States, everyone is trying to figure out what kind of virus this is, develop a vaccine or antidote, or control the virus.

But two years have passed, and not only has the disease been brought under control, there’s no sign of an antidote or vaccine.

Because no one has been able to figure out the workings of this virus, or in other words, no one has ever discovered the virus.

Even he and Banner, who had been studying the virus for more than half a year, had not discovered anything.

It’s as if there is no virus at all, and the infected people are completely no different from ordinary people at the cellular and genetic level.

Even if some viruses are discovered, they are common viruses on the blue planet and have nothing to do with turning into monsters.

"Mr. Stark, just last night, the U.S. military announced that all eleven aircraft carriers have been activated and the entire country is on level one alert." (End of this chapter)
