The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 375 Advance

They quickly and systematically changed into their new anti-freeze suits and weapons, their eyes revealing unwavering determination and high morale.

Spider-Man carefully adjusted the various parameters on his suit to ensure that the web shooters could function properly in the low-temperature environment;

Daredevil stroked the specially made short stick in his hand, feeling its tough texture even in the cold air;

The Punisher skillfully inspected his modified heavy weaponry, the cold guns seeming to come alive in his hands.

Everyone knew that an incredibly difficult battle awaited them, but at this moment, they were fully prepared.

Hundreds of superheroes, with serious expressions and an indomitable spirit, boarded the long-awaited fighter jets in batches.

With the roar of engines, the fighter jet shot into the sky like an arrow, speeding towards Washington.

One after another, silver figures streaked across the sky.

Meanwhile, the military had already set up camp on the border of Washington and established a large command post.

Tents stand in rows, and various communication equipment and command instruments are neatly arranged. Soldiers move back and forth, busy yet orderly.

Outside the border, the sun shines brightly, its warm rays bathing the earth. A gentle breeze stirs the flowers, grasses, and trees, creating a peaceful and serene scene.

However, inside that border line, it was a completely different world: a frozen wasteland with howling winds. The entire city of Washington was covered by a thick layer of ice, and the skyscrapers seemed to have been frozen in time, submerged in the vast white expanse.

It formed a stark and eerie contrast with the warmth of the outside world, a stark and astonishing difference.

Anyone who sees this strange sight will understand that it must have been caused by supernatural forces.

After Tony and Steve arrived with a group of superheroes, they went straight into the command center.

The moment the frontline commander saw them, his face, which had been filled with exhaustion and anxiety, instantly lit up with a look of relief, as if he had seen a savior, and he hurriedly came to greet them.

"If all else fails, we'll consider dropping a nuclear bomb."

The general tried to ease the extremely oppressive atmosphere by telling a not-so-funny joke with a wry smile, but no one present laughed.

After all, dropping a nuclear bomb on one's own country's capital is such an absurd and insane thing to do.

Anyone familiar with the United States’ past practices knows that, in extreme circumstances, the US is capable of doing things that seem like a fantasy.

After a brief exchange with the military personnel and gaining a general understanding of the situation inside Washington, Tony and Steve, without further delay, led the superheroes, who were already fully prepared, into the icy wilderness of Washington.

Their figures gradually disappeared into the vast white world of ice and snow, leaving only a string of deep footprints.

The superheroes strode forward with firm steps, struggling against the biting, knife-like wind.

The howling wind, carrying snow and ice fragments, kept lashing at them, making a "whooshing" sound.

It was as if this icy world was issuing a warning, trying to drive them away.

However, the anti-freeze suit developed by Tony was truly effective. In the extreme cold weather of nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius, everyone felt warm and cozy, and were not affected by the severe cold at all.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire Tony's invention and wonder what kind of amazing black technology he used to create such powerful equipment.

Moreover, the holographic glasses they wore played an extremely important role.

These glasses scan the surrounding environment, quickly analyze it, and point out the optimal route to the destination, guiding them in this icy, snowy, and difficult-to-discern place.

To prevent them from getting lost in this vast, white world.

Moreover, these glasses are also windproof. Even when the howling wind blows by, the lenses do not fog up at all, remaining clear and allowing the superheroes to clearly observe their surroundings.

[If we had such equipment, fighting crime would be much easier.]

As the superheroes walked, they couldn't help but think to themselves that this.

With such high-tech assistance, we will undoubtedly be more adept at carrying out various difficult tasks in the future, and will be able to better protect the city and its people.

After braving the swirling snow and traversing a long road, the scene before them weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

On both sides of the road, soldiers stood frozen into ice sculptures, their once resolute faces still frozen, but their terrified eyes were also encased in ice.

Beside them were rows of frozen armored vehicles and tanks. These cold, steel behemoths had lost their former majesty and lay there quietly, becoming eerie and desolate embellishments in this icy world.

"Is there any hope for them?"

Peter looked at the soldiers who had been implicated, his eyes filled with pity and worry.

He stopped and stepped closer to examine them, wondering if he could use his abilities to help them, even if it was just to free them from this icy prison.

There must be a way.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Steve looked at Peter, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly.

Steve genuinely liked this young man. He felt that Peter not only had outstanding abilities and could always handle various dangerous situations with his own skills, but also had a strong sense of responsibility and never forgot his mission as a superhero to protect others.

But most importantly, Peter has a kind heart. In this complex and cruel world, this kindness is especially precious, like a warm light that illuminates everything around him, making Steve appreciate and recognize him even more.

"We'll talk about these things later. Now, let's get to Washington as soon as possible."

The Punisher frowned and interrupted Steve and Peter's conversation with a serious expression.

His gaze remained fixed on the endless expanse of white snow and ice ahead, knowing full well that every second of delay could worsen the crisis facing Washington.

Now is not the time for gossiping about whether or not someone can be saved.

As he walked briskly forward, he secretly rejoiced that Tony hadn't rashly arranged for a plane to airdrop them directly into Washington.

Now he finally understood why: such extreme temperatures, as low as nearly 100 degrees below zero, are simply fatal to airplanes.

The aircraft's various precision instruments and engine systems cannot function properly in such extreme cold. Thick layers of ice will quickly condense on the wings, increasing weight and damaging the aircraft's aerodynamic performance, leading to loss of flight attitude control.

Even the most advanced fighter jets would almost certainly crash in such a harsh, low-temperature environment. In that case, forget about carrying out a rescue mission; everyone would probably perish in mid-air.

Among all these pieces of equipment, it seems that only Tony's Iron Man suit can withstand such low temperatures.

But when he thought of the Iron Man armor, the Punisher couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly; the cost of that thing was just too expensive.

Not to mention the complex research and development costs, the rare materials and sophisticated processing techniques required for manufacturing alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Let alone equipping the military on a large scale, even equipping every superhero with a set would be an astronomical expense, which is simply unrealistic.

So at this moment, all they could do was rely on their anti-freeze suits and take one difficult step at a time as they made their way deeper into Washington.
