American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 127 The heroes see the same thing

On the Quinjet, Natasha was the first to stand up and support Black Egg's decision.

“This matter has passed, there is no need to pursue who is right or wrong.

I believe that the strategy the director came up with at the time was correct after considering the overall situation.

There may have been some unexpected events in the middle, but that doesn't matter anymore.

Now we should think about how to find Killian, the inventor of the Extremis virus."

Now that Natasha had said so, the other Avengers didn't want to continue to pursue Black Salted Egg's decision.

However, Black Salted Egg would not admit that there was a problem with his decision. He revealed an interesting piece of information, shifting everyone's attention to Tony.

“Just now, the agents found a key figure from Pioneer Technology in the convoy.

Through interrogation, we learned that the inventor of the Extremis virus was not Killian, he could only be considered a co-developer at most.

The real inventor is Maya Hansen, an internationally renowned biologist.

This lady's experience is not simple, she was Tony's ex-girlfriend!"

"What?" Tony was confused. He tried his best to reduce his presence and hid in the corner feeling very guilty. How could this be linked to him?

Black Salted Egg then began to introduce Maya Hansen's general information.

"In the late 90s, Maya Hansen first proposed the concept of the desperate virus"

After listening to the introduction, Tony vaguely remembered the technology conference in Bern in 1999.

It seems that I did have a one-night stand with a beautiful female scientist.

I remember that I also gave the other party some suggestions for experimental research as a resource.

Tony, with an embarrassed expression, said helplessly, "So the Extremis virus is just a semi-finished product evolved from the formula I wrote down before?"

After hearing the origin of the Extremis virus, all the Avengers were speechless.

"Guys, this operation has basically achieved all its goals. The main target, Pierce, is dead, and the remaining Hydra remnants can't cause any trouble.

Killian is just a superpower user with average strength, so it won’t have much impact if he runs away.

You have all worked hard in the past two days of continuous operations. You can have a good rest for a few days after you come back."

Afterwards, Black Salted Egg seemed to have shut down the communication, and the communication channel fell silent.

This cat-and-mouse game ended early as the Avengers gave up first.

The focus of the Avengers' subsequent work will still have to return to researching the T virus vaccine and collecting supplies.

The Avengers are really worried about whether the American people, who have suffered so much, can have enough food to eat.

Towards evening, under the hazy sunset.

The Avengers' main target was not Rumlow, a small fry, so he was able to escape successfully.

At this time, Rumlow, who had escaped in the chaos, was heading towards Poughkeepsie with six Winter Soldiers and the remaining dozen or so Hydra soldiers.

Most of the Poughkeepsie area is flat, with farms of all sizes scattered throughout the area.

Each farm usually has one or more townhouses for the use of the farm owner.

At this time, after a forced march of more than 200 kilometers, Rumlow and others arrived at Komodo Farm and walked into a five-story townhouse, preparing to rest here for a night.

Further ahead, the boundless zombie army surrounded the Umbrella base tightly, leaving no gap for them to pass through.

They could only stop outside the zombie army and observe the situation first.

Rumlow was very troubled. Although his men were well-equipped with weapons, they did not have much ammunition.

Even with the addition of six Winter Soldiers, he had no confidence in breaking through the zombie defense line that was more than ten kilometers long and rushing into the Umbrella base. "Sir! We found a special person!"

While Rumlow was having a headache, Hydra soldiers had been using micro drones to detect weak points in the zombie defense line.

Killian, who accidentally discovered the cutting-edge technology, appeared in an ordinary three-story house five kilometers to the east.

Rumlow looked a little surprised.

Before retreating, he watched Killian bravely rush towards Iron Man. He didn't expect that the other party could actually escape alive?
Now that he has come here, it is obviously not a coincidence. The other party must have come here with the idea of seeking refuge under the umbrella of protection.

Rumlow took into consideration that they were partners who had once ridden in the same car, and now they needed to work together to break through the zombies' defense line.

So he sent one of his men to invite Killian to his side to discuss the possibility of joining forces.

Night fell outside, and in the quiet darkness, the roars of the zombie hordes could be heard everywhere.

Even though Rumlow and the others were still more than ten kilometers away from the zombie defense line, they could still clearly hear the creepy movements of the zombies.

The area around here is relatively empty, so the smell of fresh human flesh and blood cannot reach the zombie defense line.

Otherwise, Rumlow couldn't even imagine how desperate he would feel when being besieged by hundreds of thousands of zombies.

Waited quietly for twenty minutes.

At the door of the townhouse, Killian walked in quickly with a silver-white suitcase, led by a Hydra soldier wearing camouflage field uniform.

The hall on the first floor of the villa had not been cleaned for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on the floor. The environment was very bad.

Rumlow had been waiting for a long time. He asked his men to bring a cup of espresso.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Killian, but supplies are running low. I can only treat you to a cup of instant coffee."

Killian sat down on the dirty sofa in the hall without any care, put the silver suitcase at his feet, picked up the coffee and drank it all.

He hadn't drunk a drop of water the whole day, and now he was extremely thirsty.

The energy intake of desperate warriors is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and they need special highly concentrated nutritional supplements to replenish enough energy.

After all, energy is conserved.

Every time the ability is used, the cells melt and the temperature soars to 3000℃, which consumes a lot of energy.

So, after Killian finished his coffee, he still felt thirsty and hungry.

The calories provided by this cup of instant coffee are probably not as much as the calories he consumes by using his superpowers for one second.

But he could only suppress his hunger and thirst and start talking about business.

“Mr. Rumlow, I have long seen that you are also a smart man.

It is said that great minds think alike. I know that your goal is also to seek protection from the umbrella.

I wonder if you have any way to contact the top brass of Umbrella?"

Rumlow said with a look of regret: "The only way to contact Umbrella is the satellite phone of Commander Pierce, but you also know that the commander died heroically.

Therefore, we can only think of a way to force our way out and break through the zombie army’s defenses.”

I heard that the other party had no shame and said that Pierce died heroically?

Killian simply couldn't help himself.

“That old fellow Pierce is a complete idiot!

If I had known, I shouldn't have cooperated with you brainless Hydras!"
