Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

It was under these circumstances that, the moment the densely packed army of Ultron appeared, General Brook from the United States, General Petrov from Russia, and even General Wang from China all felt the immense pressure emanating from Ultron.

Under such pressure, disagreements naturally arise.

General Brook believed that although Ultron's attention was still within Sokovia and no robots were trying to break out, with such a large number of them, if the Avengers failed, it would only be a matter of time before Ultron tried to break out.

Therefore, the most important thing to do now is to strike first and eliminate Ultron's robot army as much as possible while ensuring the safety of the Avengers.

However, General Bruce's proposal was opposed by General Wang.

The reason is simple: there are still a large number of civilians inside Sokovia!

If they actually start the attack, it would be tantamount to creating a massacre in this poor Nordic country!

As the instigator of this five-permanent siege, China is already under tremendous pressure. If another massacre were to break out, China would be at a significant disadvantage in both international relations and foreign politics.

It's not just the rabbit; the entire five permanent members of the UN Security Council will lose credibility because of this massacre.

After all, for the other non-permanent members, whether it's China or the other four permanent members, if they can launch the Sokovia massacre, then one day they might be able to stage the same massacre on their own turf.

This could permanently alter the international landscape since the Cold War, and General Wang would naturally disagree with General Bruce's proposal, even from a military perspective, where there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

As for General Petrov of the Great Mao?

This person remained completely neutral, offering no opinion whatsoever. After all, in their eyes, the Avengers and the encirclement were utterly superfluous.

If it were up to his style, the Avengers wouldn't even need to appear. He could just find some excuse like a plague and throw a few Ivans at them. What's with all the slaughter? If one isn't enough, just bring a few more!

Chapter 618 Sherlock's War Potential

Of course, General Petrov wasn't stupid; he knew his idea was impossible to realize, so he didn't say anything. After all, moving the nuclear weapons and not moving them were two completely different issues.

But if the avengers fail, General Petrov will forcefully impose his ideas, even at the cost of his honor as a Soviet veteran!

However, that's a story for another time. At least for now, General Petrov has neither the interest nor the desire to get involved in this battle between the eagle and the rabbit.

Just as the atmosphere in the command post was becoming increasingly tense, with General Bruce and General Wang almost locked in a standoff, neither willing to back down first, a messenger rushed into the tent that served as the command post.

"Generals, I think you should come out and take a look!"

Upon hearing the messenger's words, the three generals exchanged glances and all noticed the unique wariness of soldiers regarding changes in the battlefield situation in each other's eyes.

Without saying a word, the three rushed out of the tent, went to the observation point, picked up binoculars, and looked at the battlefield called Sokovia.

The current situation in Sokovia made the three generals gasp involuntarily.

Whether it was the overwhelming swarms of one-eyed manta rays or the torrent of miniature whitebait, both instilled a unique sense of fear in the three of them.

They naturally recognized those two items as the ones Sherlock had used for rescue during the Battle of New York.

However, during the Battle of New York, the various organizations felt they had overestimated Sherlock's war potential, but the facts before them proved that they had underestimated him.

It's no secret among various intelligence agencies that Sherlock's flesh and Big White are not secrets at all; both are used for rescue operations.

However, when both of these things are completely controlled by one person, and can reach a certain quantity in a short period of time, then this thing begins to become quite terrifying.

Sixth Master from the Rabbit side is a prime example.

Sherlock's current predicament is similar. In the eyes of these generals, Sherlock has almost single-handedly built a complete system for intelligence gathering, hostage rescue, and wounded medical care.

Mini Baymax is responsible for reconnaissance. After determining the location of the people, it reports to Meatball, who is responsible for the entire process of rescue, transfer, and treatment.

Do you know what's the scariest thing?

The most terrifying thing is that these damned one-eyed manta rays seem to have their own ideas; they even know how to divide and classify!

When the group of manta rays landed at the refugee camp set up by the five benefactors to rescue the Sokovians, they were all stacked and arranged in perfect order, so neat that even those who had been swallowed did not spit them out.

If that's not enough to prove the intelligence of these manta rays, then there's another small group of red-eyed manta rays stacked up opposite the row of stacked manta rays, their expressions even carrying a hint of seriousness and a "keep away" vibe!

It's obvious that those red-eyed manta rays are carrying dangerous people in their mouths!

Soon, their conjecture was confirmed by a manta ray, roughly the size of a child, that broke away from the group and flew towards them.

They watched as the adorable-looking manta ray landed beside them, staring at them with its single, bewildered eye, as if trying to ascertain their identities.

After a while, as if he was sure he hadn't picked the wrong person, he gave the three of them a silly smile and spat out a walkie-talkie covered in saliva.

Looking at the walkie-talkie lying quietly in the saliva, two of the three generals had a slightly incredulous expression, while the remaining one had a completely indescribable look on his face. After exchanging glances, none of them seemed to want to pick up the walkie-talkie covered in sticky saliva.

However, this behavior clearly alerted the one-eyed manta ray, whose憨憨 (simple and honest) face contorted into a very human-like expression of grievance.

Meat roll: ()

The three generals: (°A°`)

In the end, General Wang couldn't stand the extremely human-like aggrieved look, and despite his disgust, he picked up the walkie-talkie. Then, after watching the one-eyed manta ray's expression change like this, he happily flapped his wings and flew away.

Seeing this incredibly human scene, the three of them were each lost in their own thoughts.

However, General Wang's walkie-talkie soon rang, interrupting their thoughts.

"Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Who's that big shot on the other end?"

"Sherlock, this is the command post. I am General Wang. You can speak freely."

Hearing General Wang's voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Sherlock nodded with great satisfaction before pressing the call button and speaking to General Wang on the other end.

"As you can see, I have begun the evacuation plan for Sokovia. It is expected that all of Sokovia's population will be evacuated in twenty minutes. At that time, I will need to trouble General Wang to order a shrinking artillery barrage on Sokovia to ensure that no Ultron robot can leave."

After Sherlock finished reporting the situation, General Wang responded quite quickly.

"Received. Begin five rounds of slow-moving barrage saturation bombardment in twenty minutes. Is it acceptable to set the safe zone within a 1000-meter radius of the center of Sokovia?"

After hearing General Wang's words, Sherlock thought for a moment, nodded, and then spoke to General Wang through the walkie-talkie in his hand.

“Yes, the main part of Ultron will be dealt with by the Avengers within this area. At the same time, I will deal with the anti-gravity device. After the Avengers withdraw, this area can be left to be bombarded.”

At this point, Sherlock paused as if he had remembered something, and continued speaking into the walkie-talkie.

"By the way, the pieces of flesh that flew out, that is, the one-eyed manta ray, will be automatically classified. Those with normal yellow eyes will be piled together as ordinary people, meaning that they did not resist when captured and can be safely handled."

The red eyes and serious expression indicate fierce resistance during capture, suggesting a possible remnant of Hydra or a supporter of Ultron. It is recommended that he be detained and investigated before further investigation.

Of course, the information isn't guaranteed to be accurate; it's just a temporary categorization based on the reactions at the time of capture. You'd better review them all.

After Sherlock finished speaking, there was no reply from General Wang for a long time on the walkie-talkie. Just as Sherlock was wondering if the thing he had just made was broken or if Ultron had intercepted the signal, General Wang's reply finally came.

"Understood, we will verify. Also, Sherlock, please use a different adjective next time. Don't use 'capture,' it makes us sound like slave traders. General Bruce is starting to get a little stressed."

After a slight pause, Sherlock clearly heard General Wang curse a few times. After a flurry of noise, he sighed helplessly and continued speaking to Sherlock.

"Also, please tell me how to get the person out of that manta ray's mouth. General Bruce was just swallowed by a passing manta ray because of his emotional outburst, and he's currently stuck in the danger zone with red eyes."

"Hmm, there are a few more soldiers now..."

Sherlock: "..."

Chapter 619 Is this an emergency stop method that a human could come up with?

"So, are you sure you want the person that giant manta ray release from its mouth to scratch its chin?"

General Wang's voice trembled slightly when it came through the walkie-talkie, filled with disbelief. When he heard Sherlock's so-called 'method of release,' his entire cerebral cortex relaxed, and he even wondered if he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people.

Is this even a human being capable of thinking of such a way to release tension? What kind of bizarre mental state could someone possibly have come up with such a strange way to release tension?

However, Sherlock's next words completely shattered General Wang's hopes.

"That's right, it has to be done with affection, like gently scratching your cat's chin, with a teasing touch!"

"..."

Faced with Sherlock's instructions, General Wang fell completely silent. In fact, not only General Wang, but also General Petrov beside him and the soldiers who had heard Sherlock's words fell silent.

To be honest, faced with a stingray that could swallow a person whole, they really couldn't bring themselves to scratch its chin like they would a kitten!

Fortunately, there is never a shortage of brave warriors in the army. Under the death order, the 'brave warrior' who was chosen was almost ready to die. He stepped forward and scratched the chin of the meat-eating guy who had swallowed his comrade.

Then, amidst everyone's horrified, incredulous, and questioning gazes, the chubby face that had its chin scratched revealed an extremely human-like expression of pleasure.

Then the whole body began to tremble like jelly, and a strange blush appeared on the face. A person wrapped tightly in a transparent film, with only one nostril showing, was pulled out by the fleshy tug.

Upon witnessing this scene, the entire area seemed to be frozen in place, abruptly halting all movement amidst the chaotic commotion.

Well, the soldiers present were not unaware of what kind of person Sherlock, this infamous alchemist, really was.

However, what we are seeing is somewhat beyond the comprehension of normal people.

How utterly depraved must someone be to come up with such a way of releasing their pent-up emotions?

Just then, Sherlock's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Don't worry, this method will definitely be able to release the person from the mouth of the meat beast. However, because this is an emergency release, the meat beast will generate a thin membrane that can only be cut with a knife to bind the person being released."

After all, this thing is considered medical equipment. Emergency release could worsen the injury if the patient moves around, and the membrane could also maintain the patient's vital signs for a period of time, at least ensuring a sterile internal environment.

Sherlock's reasoning was sound, even pragmatic: it was precisely this method of release...

Well, it's really beyond human comprehension. Everyone at the scene began to pity the Avengers who had the most contact with Sherlock, that bastard. What kind of hellish lives were they living?

After a while, General Wang's voice came through the intercom again.

"Is there...is there...a decent way?"

General Wang's voice was hesitant, and he even took a while to come up with a more civilized adjective.

Upon hearing General Wang's words, Sherlock laughed. Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Sherlock could roughly imagine what had happened, and said to General Wang in a cheeky tone.

"No! However, when creating these meat-eaters, due to the urgency of the situation, in addition to setting myself as the person with the highest authority to control all the meat-eaters, I also set you, General Wang, as a level two authority user."

Although you can't control the meat to spit people out, you can make it spit out people's heads to talk, making it easier to interrogate dangerous people using the meat.

Of course, you can also let the Meatball follow you. Don't be fooled by its big appearance; it's incredibly agile, so there's nothing to worry about..."

Before Sherlock could finish speaking, General Wang's voice, filled with existential doubt, interrupted his explanation.

"This thing can be used for interrogation... huh?"

General Wang, who was on the walkie-talkie, also made a sound of doubt before he could finish speaking. It's no wonder that General Wang was so naive; the scene before him was simply too shocking!

He only uttered the word "interrogation," and then watched helplessly as those red-eyed manta rays, piled up together, began sucking on the person inside their mouths like an ice pop.

If it were just one, that would be one thing, but the key point is that those red-eyed manta rays were neatly stacked into a square formation!

Can you imagine hundreds or thousands of manta rays, neatly stacked like in a warehouse, suddenly starting to swallow and spit out human heads in unison, with countless heads of people of various skin colors going in and out of the manta ray's mouth like popsicles?
