"It's strange. Why does this battle suit feel so light when you drag it on today?"
Dragging the Mark 8 that had lost power while walking in the snow, Tony didn't feel the slightest bit tired.
On the one hand, it was naturally because of the inexplicable heat in his body, which allowed him to ignore the severe cold weather; on the other hand, for some reason, he seemed to have a lot of strength today, and dragging a steel battle suit weighing several hundred kilograms seemed like dozens of kilograms. Like heavy.
On a snowy night, Tony had no good way to identify the direction. He could only move in the direction of his previous flight based on his feeling.
After walking about a few kilometers, Tony finally came across a house, but in this weather, there was no light coming from the house.
In this case, generally speaking, either the owner has taken a rest, or there is no one in the house at all.
Tony prefers the latter, because in such a cold weather, if there are people in the house, even if they take a rest, the fire in the fireplace will definitely still be burning, so that there will not be no light in the house.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, but as expected he didn't get any response.
"In this case, as the saying goes, obey authority in urgent matters, then you can't blame me."
After speaking, Tony walked around to the Warehouse next to the house, and then swung the Mark 8 he was dragging behind him toward the door. Bang! The fragile wooden door was instantly smashed open by the heavy steel battle suit.
Tony did not choose to break in directly through the front door of this house. After all, he just needed a place that could shelter him from the wind and snow. Although there was no one in this house now, judging from the traces of life around it, it was not an abandoned and empty house. .
After seeing the Warehouse, Tony turned on the lights in the room and began to observe the layout of the Warehouse.
There is a workbench in the center, surrounded by various tools and handmade mechanical parts.
"It seems that the owner of this room is just like me, he also loves to invent and create." Tony thought to himself.
Tony is lucky, he also needs some tools and accessories to repair the Mark 8 battle suit, and this thing in the Warehouse can be used for him.
But just when Tony was about to commandeer the Warehouse studio, a little boy appeared in front of him holding a homemade potato gun. .
"Tell me, Ms. Botanist, what exactly do you want to do in our house today?"
On the highway, in a speeding sports car, Pepper, who was driving the car, asked Maya Hansen in the passenger seat.
Seeing the serious look that Pepper looked at her from time to time, Maya hesitated for a while before speaking: "I think my boss might be working for Mandarin. So if you still want to continue talking about this matter, I think We'd better find a safer place."
"Wang Defa?!" The shocked Pepper couldn't help but spit out a curse word while controlling the sports car.
"Why is your boss working for Mandarin? Tony clearly said you were a botanist!"
Maya nodded and said: "Yes, but more accurately, I should be a DNA biocoding scientist. I have a team of more than 40 people and am part of a think tank. But because my research results were originally published in I conduct experiments on plants, so it's not wrong to say that I am a botanist."
Pepper rubbed his temples and said, "I don't understand the profession of you scientists. It's too complicated. Tell me, what's the name of your boss?"
"Aldrich Killian." Maya replied without hesitation.
Pepper's eyes widened when he heard this. He turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road. Then he looked at Maya and asked, "The boss of Pioneer Technology? "Ultimate Biological Project"?"
"Yes, that's him. But we generally call this project "Extremis Project" internally.
Pepper held her forehead in disbelief: "So your boss, a few days ago, blatantly came to Stark Industries to seek investment from me with a terrorist project plan? And I didn't see any clues at all?"
Maya shrugged: "In fact, if you don't look at the side effects, the "Extremis Project" can definitely be regarded as an epoch-making initiative in the field of biological gene editing."
"Wait, what side effects? Killian didn't mention this when he introduced this project to me." Pepper asked.
"I heard that Tony's driver was affected by the explosion caused by Mandarin in front of the China Theater not long ago. He is now lying in the hospital receiving treatment."
"Yes, but Happy is fine now. Tony told me that he contacted a very powerful elder to help Happy with treatment. What does this have to do with the question I asked you?" Pepper was confused. Why would Maya bring up this seemingly impossible matter?
"This is the side effect, those explosions. All the bombings that Mandarin publicly admitted on TV were not achieved by bombs, or the bombs he used were experimental products that had serious side effects in the "Extremis Project" ."
When Pepper heard the truth of the matter, she only felt horrified at the moment!
Just imagine how frightening it is when a person is transformed into a bomb that may explode at any time.
"No, I have to contact Agent Phil Coulson quickly and ask S.H.I.E.L.D to send out personnel to investigate this matter!" Pepper said and was about to take out her mobile phone to contact Phil Coulson.
But just when she was about to dial, Maya reached out and stopped her.
"It's useless. Before sufficient evidence is collected, this matter cannot be solved through the power of government departments. Why do you think Kilian dared to go to you so blatantly with his plan? Why was the matter of the bombing attack not disclosed to the media until recently? Report it?"
"Killian has long begun to bribe high-level government officials. You know, compared to money, life span is the most important thing for these politicians. As long as they live long enough, they can always control it through the power in their 2.0 hands. to this country."
"Although the "Extremis Project" has serious side effects, it also has huge amounts of potential. Once the side effects are improved and the research is successful, all the efforts they make will become insignificant compared to the benefits they receive. "
Pepper covered the back of Maya's hand with her palm, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Maya. Phil Coulson and the others are different. And even if it is not convenient for S.H.I.E.L.D to intervene in this matter, don't forget, we still have the Avengers. Woolen cloth!"
However, just after Pepper said these words, the originally weak expression on Maya Hansen's face began to change violently, and a very fierce look emerged.
