All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 796 Crisis in Hell's Kitchen

“…We have redefined the mobile phone.”

Minato Namikaze is also the Hokage, so he doesn't feel any pressure about this kind of new product launch conference.

What is a little difficult is to make him familiar with some of the parameters of the mobile phone.

However, with Minato Namikaze's intelligence, he learns quite quickly.

Under the flash lights of reporters, Minato Namikaze, with his golden hair, seemed to be born for the stage.

His friendly smile and confident, sunny temperament made the audience, who were tired of Tony's arrogance, feel a new world.

Tony, who had come to support the scene, was also very pleased to give up the C position, then stepped aside and said to Potts next to him

"Minato is really quite good."

"You were the most talked about female employee in the company before, but now the topic of Minato is obviously increasing."

Potts also said this casually, which made Tony feel a little bit uncomfortable.
"But he's still not as handsome as me. He looks too pretty. Well, he lacks my maturity."

Or perhaps it was because Minato Namikaze said too much about redefining the mobile phone.

A reporter immediately came out and said
"Excuse me, Mr. Minato, when you say redefine, do you mean that other cell phones are garbage?"

The beautiful reporter always likes to watch the fun, no matter how big the event.

Although the Stark Group invested a lot of money this time, and it was purely commercial, it did not encounter much resistance from Umbrella.

But some journalists who want to get promoted don’t worry so much.

Because the other party said too much!
Although there are some differences among mobile phone manufacturers in the Marvel world, there are still quite a few of them.

There are also many that have grown bigger and stronger.

Facing the reporter's ill-intentioned and deliberately inciting questions, Namikaze Minato showed a gentle and sunny smile on his face, and then nodded.
"If you want to understand it that way, that's fine, but it's a little impolite."

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, there was an uproar below.

Such a gentle and polite tone, yet such arrogant words were spoken, was in some ways even more of a contrast than Tony's direct and derogatory remarks.

Immediately, various flashes of light followed, and all the reporters showed excited expressions on their faces.

I thought it was just an ordinary press conference, but I didn't expect it to produce such big news.

Not only them, the live videos on YouTube and Stark's official website also surprised many netizens who had great confidence in the technological strength of the Stark Group.

"This little puppy looks very docile, but he speaks very wildly."

"Ah! I love it!"

"Why is your profile picture a man?"

"How dare you define my gender so casually?"

"..."

However, many people in the industry are just watching from the sidelines at this time. It is unwise to raise the audience's expectations in such a loud tone.

This will make people take out a magnifying glass to find fault. If it is not a truly epoch-making work, then no matter how well it is done, there will be things to criticize!
Afterwards, under the attention of all parties, the huge display screen behind Minato Namikaze synchronized with him taking out his mobile phone, revealing the smooth image of 'Anthony''s' smartphone.

Because of the technological support from the Stark Group and some key problems solved by Tony.

Although this can only be regarded as the first generation of smartphones, it already has a borderless pure screen design.

The appearance of this thing is still quite shocking.

There is no power button or buttons, and this is actually a mobile phone?
No matter how you look at it, it's just a large MP5!

It’s just that the borderless sense of smoothness and the sense of inherent technological atmosphere still make many people vaguely guess.

Then the same reporter who asked the question again took the initiative to ask

"It is indeed a novel design, but it is just a big screen. It doesn't redefine the mobile phone, right? It is a touch screen, can you dial a phone number by touching it?
"And such a large screen can play videos? This is indeed quite interesting and novel.

"But in fact, current flip phones can also play videos, but the screen is smaller. Such a large screen cannot be folded, and it is not convenient to carry..."

The reporter had some knowledge about digital products and started firing questions like a machine gun.

And he knew that since it was defined as a mobile phone, if there were no buttons, it was most likely a touch screen button.

Touch screens are actually available now, but they still only play a supporting role.

At present, the mobile phone is just a communication tool, and it can be used to listen to music and perform certain small functional assistance functions.

Just enlarging the screen while losing the important portability of folding seems to be a loss.

"That's why I say we are redefining the mobile phone. Our goal is to directly change the purpose of the mobile phone, and this new mobile phone may be called a 'smartphone'."

Minato Namikaze picked up the smartphone in his hand, and the screen behind him also enlarged synchronously. As he smoothly slid to unlock it, a pure starry sky desktop with distinct layers was revealed behind it.

Some basic apps were initially implanted.

The smooth feeling of unlocking and the sense of technology when sliding the phone instantly caused some exclamations at the scene.

There is a feeling of science fiction shining into reality.

"I won't go into details about the basic communication functions of mobile phones. It is indeed the same as what my journalist friend guessed..."

Minato Namikaze just demonstrated it casually, but the dialing and text messaging functions, and the sensitive touch of the screen, continued to refresh everyone's cognition.

Then, exit the basic functions and start opening related apps...

"Perhaps, some people would define this as a handheld computer, but in fact, many of the functions of these apps are more practical and more convenient than computer programs..."

A short video software called TT, various drawing software, camera photo taking function, video conversation, voice chat, are just some of the most basic embedded software functions, but they caused waves of exclamations at the scene.

There are also many carnivals on the Internet!

"Oh my god! I need this phone!"

"It really redefines the mobile phone. It can take photos and send them to friends on the phone."

"Oh, I need to save some money, I still have some credit on my credit card, my god, this is draining my wallet."

"It shouldn't be cheap, right? Will it be more than two thousand dollars? If it's more, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

“It’s possible, but this is indeed a groundbreaking product.”

"If the product is to be popularized, I think it would be too much for ordinary people to pay more than a thousand dollars."

"..."

Now, there is absolutely no doubt about whether this phone is good or not. Even with just these basic functions, it is already quite eye-catching.

Finally, mobile phones are no longer defined by battery, battery life, and size.

It really redefines the mobile phone!

Minato Namikaze ignored the crowd's exclamations and some questions about the prices, and continued to introduce the functions of the app store. He opened the store list, which showed a wide variety of apps.

We have seen Minato Namikaze using basic APP functions before, and now after seeing these app store icons, many people have some thoughts in their minds.

Could it be that all of these can be downloaded to mobile phones?
This has too many functions!
"...As you can see, these are the apps that can be downloaded from the App Store according to your preferences. Each app has its own functions. Some are free, while others require the purchase of permissions..."

Minato Namikaze kept sliding his fingers, and various APP icons began to appear, as well as many game icons.

There are free ones as well as paid ones. Currently, the prices are generally not expensive, with the vast majority priced below $6.

"Since it is a groundbreaking product that redefines the mobile phone, we will of course give it a reasonable price."

When Minato Namikaze talked about sex scenes, all the viewers became focused.

"199 dollars."

After the unbelievable price was announced, everyone at the scene gasped.

It’s over. All other mobile phone manufacturers are finished…

-

Because the Anthony phone is named after Tony, and it is also what the Stark Group has been tinkering with.

So even though Umbrella Corporation had already fallen out and had been on guard against whether Iron Man would suddenly swoop in and impose sanctions, there were still people paying attention to this press conference.

Not only the giant Umbrella, but many other forces and companies have arranged people to keep an eye on them to varying degrees.

Because you don’t know what trump card that Iron Man will throw out.

And sure enough, after seeing the epoch-making features of Anthony's smartphone at the press conference.

All parties immediately paid attention to it, and some immediately called together technical personnel and some senior executives to watch the live broadcast together.

"Stark is indeed a genius."

“It is indeed a groundbreaking product, full of technology.”

"You can imagine how much profit this will bring. Everyone in the world who can afford it will have to replace their mobile phones."

"Prepare to get the samples as soon as possible, then infiltrate various foundries and get the drawings at any cost. Even if we can't get the original drawings, we must get the structural drawings."

"He can't eat this cake!"

"It doesn't matter even if it's half a year slower."

"Oh, as long as we ..."

However, all the discussions and plans were silenced after the price of $199 was thrown out.

199 USD?

Are you crazy? Are you sure there is no missing zero?

Are you doing charity?!
"What is he doing?"

"There is no profit from this phone, and it may even be at a loss."

"It's a platform. Many of the apps on it need money. This is indeed a huge market."

"But even if that's the case, there's no need to keep it so low. Doesn't he like money?"

Some people seemed a little frustrated.

"If it's Tony Stark, he's certainly not short of money."

After the price was announced, all the manufacturers, forces, and competitors who were eyeing this side also gave up their original thoughts.

This thing costs 199 US dollars. Do you want us to join in the charity?

Of course, it is also possible to imitate the other party and create a platform.

But not to mention the time of imitation, there is also the first-mover advantage that the other party has accumulated during this time. Even if it really succeeds, what’s the point?
If the number of users cannot keep up, there will be no sufficient profit support.

The other party has first-mover advantage, technological advantage, and cost advantage. If there are competing products, they may be able to push the price even lower!
This is not only a matter of working in vain, but there is a high probability that you will lose money.

Capital is profit-seeking and will not do anything that does not bring profit.

"Then we should ask them about the cooperation method as soon as possible. We can enter their platform to develop and apply it and seize this business opportunity."

“Another Microsoft.”

"amazing……"

Since it is obvious that there is no profit in the mobile phone market, and it is expensive and troublesome to build a platform of your own, it is better to directly join the other party’s platform.

"Humph, no wonder they want to separate a company. They must be worried about monopoly investigations."

"Unfortunately, this guy's own fighting power is too strong..."

"This guy was originally qualified to join us, but he chose to be our enemy..."

"Increase the intensity. As long as we get the chance, we will destroy him!"

"We can fail as many times as we want, but if he fails just once, we're gone..."

"..."

……

Compared to those forces, individual consumers are having a carnival.

199 knives!

Although it cannot be said to be cheap, it depends on what you compare it with!
Many people who originally had no hope have already begun to think about buying.

No matter how hard you squeeze, you'll eventually get it out.

And because of the affordable price and the influence of this press conference.

'Anthony' The speed at which smartphones are becoming popular has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The offline stores are packed every day, and in order to prevent scalpers to the greatest extent possible, each ID can only purchase one.

Although the stock is sufficient and the quantity is large, the offline physical stores cannot withstand so much traffic.

Because the initial APP was originally provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

Therefore, you can register an account for basic APP with one click.

This is true for apps that directly copy WeChat, including short video apps.

By adding friends directly through the address book, each person’s circle of friends can grow very quickly.

The function of taking photos and videos on mobile phones has also been put into use simultaneously.

And soon someone discovered the benefits of the short video platform TT...

Hell's Kitchen, the darkest and most chaotic place in New York.

This is a paradise for criminals. Various contraband transactions and chaotic public security make the shops on both sides of the place look very deserted.

In places like New York, there are still a large number of stores that are closed.

The graffiti on the rolling shutters and some added metal meshes all illustrate the public security here.

The streets looked very messy, excrement could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and there was a subtle smell in the air.

Many homeless people and drug addicts fell on the roadside, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive, or they stood up like zombies, basking in the sun.

The alley was full of sewage, but some people sat in it without any disgust.

A modified pickup truck was parked quietly on the side of the road, and Nick Fury, with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder, was sitting in the back seat of the pickup truck.

At the same time, he also has the most popular "Anthony" smartphone in his hand.

Almost all media outlets are now focusing on news about the 'Anthony' smartphone.

Who discovered what new features, or how long they were waiting in line, or how hard it was to get a phone, all filled the print media and the Internet.

This made Nick Fury, who had applied for the relevant program for his mobile phone, sigh.
"I could guess their intentions before, but I didn't expect them to be so popular. If their plan succeeds, Umbrella and Hydra will have a lot of headaches."

Then he looked back toward the streets of Hell's Kitchen.

The drug addicts and homeless people basking in the sun on the streets made this place look like a zombie-infested place.

This made Leon in the driving seat look a little nervous.

Having experienced Raccoon City, he always has some conditioned reflexes when he sees the scenes on this street.

Now in the car, besides Leon who was driving and Nick Fury in the back seat, there was also Natasha who had just got in the car.

However, Natasha, who was originally beautiful and capable, now looked a little weak.

"How is it going? Have you got any new information? What kind of support are they willing to provide?"

Nick Fury looked at Natasha who had just arrived and said solemnly.

He himself did not expect that this arrangement, which was originally intended to eliminate the traitor, would directly turn himself into the traitor!
Now that the entire SHIELD has become a Hydra hideout, he doesn't know who he can trust.

After confirming that the traitor in Hydra was Alexander Pierce, he now even felt that there were suspicions about the people around him.

At least before Pierce was discovered, his trust in Pierce exceeded theirs.

But now that things have come to this, I have no better choice as I am being hunted everywhere.

"The intelligence tells us that rats carrying the T virus are running rampant in the sewers of Hell's Kitchen. Hell's Kitchen will soon become a real hell. Although they can provide assistance, they can't kill everyone in Hell's Kitchen..."

Natasha said in a hoarse voice.

God knows what I paid for this promise of aid!
Unbelievable, totally not human!
"Raccoon City started with a virus carried by rats in the sewers..."

At this time, Leon also expressed his concerns solemnly.

"I think we should contact the military directly."

In fact, Leon wanted to complain at this time. Tony had obtained the virus sample, developed a vaccine, and also gave the development method to SHIELD.

As a result, this turned out to be an asset of Hydra.

Although the production of vaccines is a problem, it will still be of some use if it is in our hands.

But now there seems to be no other way except to ask the military for help.

Even though SHIELD and the military are at odds, and the military has been severely infiltrated by Umbrella, they are the only ones who can rely on them to solve this problem on a large scale.

Whether it's Umbrella's biohazard response team or S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, they are actually powerless in the face of the environment and potential number of infections in Hell's Kitchen...

-

"I know what you mean. In fact, I have already contacted General Ross. He also takes this very seriously, but he needs evidence. Otherwise, he won't be able to dispatch troops into the city."

Nick Fury also sighed a little at this time.

He has issues with the military, but he also knows what's important. Although his relationship with General Ross is not good, he actually tried to win over the other party when the Avengers plan was being created.

It's just that the two sides have too much conflicting personalities.

Because of this, he knew that General Ross would not let it go after knowing this.

But last time, the streets were damaged due to the Hulk's disruption, and General Ross was largely responsible. This time, it would be extremely difficult for him to arrange a team to enter the city based on intelligence alone.

But how should I explain to him the source of the information?
Just because of Tony's reminder?

If he didn't already know Tony's character, and if he didn't have the support of Leon and other Raccoon City survivors, knowing that the T virus was something from Umbrella.

Nick Fury even suspected that this virus was really developed by the Stark Group and had already begun experimental release.

This is also the reason why he stayed here during this period of time.

Coulson has gone to New Mexico, where they said there might be problems, while Hawkeye, Chris, and Claire, brother and sister, have spread out in Brooklyn and begun looking for clues and evidence.

We want to stop the virus as soon as it breaks out.

No matter how bad the situation is, I have to record the video and notify Ross as soon as possible.

Taking the Resident Evil in Raccoon City as an example, the key is to control this special virus in the early stages.

Otherwise, once it starts to spread, the whole of New York may be in disaster!

But unfortunately, in a place like Hell's Kitchen, agents have to patrol in armored vehicles because the situation is too chaotic.

Even though Hawkeye and his team are all experts in action, their progress here is quite slow.

Because it is really hard to distinguish what is human and what is zombie here...

But at this moment, a blind man passing by on the street suddenly caught Nick Fury's attention.

Although this man is blind, he is wearing a cheap suit that is relatively decent compared to Hell's Kitchen.

Although the other person's identity can be confirmed as a blind person through the guide stick in his hand, his movements while walking are quite confident and he does not look like a blind person at all.

This slightly abnormal situation will naturally make Nick Fury pay more attention.

He was suspicious by nature to begin with, and now that he was forced to hide here and there by Alexander Pierce, he became even more paranoid.

Now everyone looks like Hydra to him.

Ding~Ding~
The blind man came to the front of the vehicle and knocked on the door twice with his guide stick, making a metallic collision sound.

"Be careful."

Nick Fury reminded Leon, and Leon nodded, while keeping alert and holding down the gun, he also lowered the car window and asked
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with? Or do you need our help?"

Leon wanted to make eye contact with the other person to determine whether he was blind, but was blocked by his brown sunglasses.

"I think you are the ones who may need help. I heard someone say there was a bomb planted over there. It should be aimed at you."

As the blind man spoke, his ears moved.
"Here we go, be careful."

Just as Leon was on high alert and Nick Fury sat up straight, after a moment, they saw a remote-controlled toy racing car appear at the corner ahead.

Under normal circumstances, the sudden appearance of something like this is nothing.

We've seen all kinds of weird things in Hell's Kitchen.

However, combined with the blind man's words and the remote-controlled car driving towards this side, Nick Fury decisively spoke up
"Let's go, get out of here first."

Instead of letting Leon shoot the approaching remote-controlled car, he quickly chose to get out of the car.

If we are really exposed, then staying in the car is not a wise choice. The target is too big!

As they got off the car, it seemed that the people who had been monitoring and observing the place were also confirmed to have been exposed.

The toy racing car that was originally moving slowly suddenly accelerated and rushed over.

Lyon also fired quickly.

Thanks to the precise shooting skills, the toy racing car that was moving like a snake exploded in mid-air!
Even though several people had already hidden behind the car, the shock wave shattered all of the vehicle's windows.

Then, a group of fully armed teams rushed out from several corners.

As soon as they came out, they shot at them without mercy.

"follow me."

Matt Murdoch, who had reminded them, walked quickly towards a nearby apartment building with nimble steps and seemed quite familiar with the surrounding environment.

If it weren't for his reminder, I might have become more passive at the beginning.

So at this time Nick Fury gave his pitiful little trust again and quickly followed the other party.

At the same time, I picked up my newly acquired smartphone and took a look at the X icon on it. I felt a little helpless to complain.

"This new smartphone doesn't have very good signal reception."

"I bought this phone too. It has a blind mode, which is very considerate. I think it's more likely because they have a signal blocker. You must have offended a lot of people. The Kingpin and the Hand are looking for you."

Nick Fury just made a helpless complaint to try to make the situation look funny, but Matt Murdock, as a lawyer, began to explain in a serious manner.

This made Lu Dan feel a little helpless to refute, and he just quickly followed the other party upstairs and sighed.
"Thank you for this time. Is there any other way out here?"

"Yes, but it requires some basic skills. I think you should be able to do it. Here we are."

Matt Murdock came to a window, listened for a moment, then opened it and jumped out. Finally, he steadily crossed the alley in the middle and landed on the roof of a bungalow opposite.

Listening to the footsteps chasing up the stairs below.

Nick Fury threw a grenade from the gap between the stairs, and then quickly jumped over...

Boom~
With the cover of the explosion behind them, several people came to the roof one after another, and then followed the blind man in front, moving quickly forward along the roof of the bungalow as if doing urban parkour.

Soon, they entered another apartment building and turned around...

"The signal has been restored."

Natasha kept checking the signal from time to time. After seeing it recover, she hesitated for a moment and then opened the pirated WeChat and sent the location information to the nickname marked "non-human".

He also sent an ambiguous emoticon.

Now that SHIELD is in such a bad shape, we can only seek help from outside. They don’t have to be so ruthless...

"We're here. It's safe here for now."

Matt Murdock and a few others entered through the window and came to an old apartment building.

This old apartment building was obviously quite old and appeared a bit damp. There were mold spots on the walls from leaks, and there was a musty smell in the air.

Moreover, the rows of doors are designed to be quite crowded.

Nick looked around and praised
"It's a very clever design. Did you make the trap here?"

It's not that he suspected that the blind man wanted to harm them, but there were a lot of simple and inconspicuous traps formed here due to some miscellaneous items piled up nearby, which seemed to be specially designed to stop the enemy.

If we escape here, we can easily shake off the pursuers.

"As you can see, I'm blind. These were made by my friend, who is staying here temporarily. You guys are wanted by the Kingpin and the Hand, so you must have your own reasons. Come on, we can talk."

I found a door and knocked.
"Frank, open the door, we have found the friends you are looking for."

Nick Fury was also slightly stunned when he heard the name called out by the blind man.

Frank?
Is this the Frank I know?

Natasha's eyes moved slightly. She had heard Nick Fury mention this name, who was known as a level 10 agent.

This made the two people who knew the truth feel a sense of sudden enlightenment in their hearts. No wonder!
This guy is here...

However, as the door opened, a faint smell of blood and disinfectant came from inside, which made the most sensitive blind Matt frown.
"What? Are you hurt? Didn't you go to see Luke? What happened?"

There was no light in the room, but that didn't affect the vision of the people at the door.

At this time, a burly and strong man was treating the wound on his arm.

He was using iodine to wash a row of teeth marks on the arm muscles, frowning from time to time, seemingly in pain.

"Don't mention it. He was recently investigating a homeless man who disappeared in the sewer. After I lost contact with him, I went to look for him, but he bit me like a madman. That guy was stronger than me, and he almost killed me. I've locked him up in his house now..."

Frank's voice was a little hoarse.

The pain from the bite made him feel something was wrong, and now he even felt a little dizzy.

Afraid of light...

"I even wonder if I was bitten by a vampire."

Frank smiled self-deprecatingly.

After saying that, he looked at Nick Fury again. The two of them obviously knew each other. At this time, Frank looked at Fury's solemn eyes and showed a slightly sarcastic smile.
"How's that? I heard you're being hunted recently? Tsk tsk~, that's really embarrassing."

After saying that, he looked at the bandage on Fury's arm. With his experience, he immediately determined from the shape of the blood that it was a gunshot wound.

"It seems like you have bad luck. Although both of us have injured our arms, I only need to apply some iodine. You will have to rest for a while at least."

But just as Frank finished speaking, he saw Nick Fury throwing an injection at him out of pity.

"It's not that I'm unlucky, it's that you're lucky. If we hadn't brought some vaccines with us, you would have gone to see God in a while, idiot..."
