Chapter 128 Umbrella Press Conference

After being threatened by Jonathan, Coulson seemed to be much more honest and no longer insisted on Jonathan handing over the wreckage of the Destroyer.

Just like that, they packed up and left in disgrace.

Afterwards, Jonathan did not go to Asgard with Thor and the others.

Odin's conversation made Jonathan feel that he was not strong enough again. So he was not in a hurry to go to Asgard to get the Frost Box.

So, after saying goodbye to Tony Stark, Jonathan flew back to New York alone.

New York, the former exhibition park of Hammer Industries.

It is now affiliated with Umbrella-Industrial Manufacturing Department.

Meredith did not set up multiple branches to avoid taxes, but still adopted the same model as Wieland Industries.

Various departments were established.

These include sectors such as industrial manufacturing, biomedicine, energy, climate, and exploration.

At present, the main foundation is still all the foundation of Weyland Industries that was previously brought back in detail from the Prometheus world.

Today, Meredith is using this press conference to announce Umbrella's first product in the Marvel world to the world.

At eight o'clock that evening, the press conference was held as scheduled. On the large podium, Meredith was wearing a tight purple evening dress, looking dignified, elegant, charming but not vulgar.

It caught the attention of all the men present.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen..."

Meredith began her speech.

The guests in the audience were all representatives of major American financial groups, and some CEOs of technology companies also attended the press conference.

After all, Umbrella's consecutive acquisitions of two giant companies cannot but attract attention.

Moreover, today is the launch of Umbrella's first product, which is bound to attract everyone's attention.

Jonathan was sitting in the audience at this time, and next to him was Tony Stark.

Of course, now Tony is obsessed with the research and development of the Mark series of battle suits every day.

All the company's affairs have been handed over to Pepper Potts, and I came here today because I couldn't defeat Pepper.

After all, the relationship between Umbrella and Stark Industries is also extraordinary.

On the side, there were representatives from companies such as AIM Pioneer Technologies and Life Foundation.

There are also some agents from various countries, for example, Natasha Romanov is here today.

She has now been recalled by Nick Fury and resigned from her job as legal advisor to Stark Industries.

Today, I don’t know which company she represents.

At this time, Meredith on the stage had finished her opening speech.

“Since humans formed society, war has existed in human society in various forms.”

"Today, our products will give all those who have become disabled due to war or other reasons a chance to stand up again."

"Now please allow me to introduce the first product of our Umbrella Group's biomedical department."

“Passive Bionic Prosthesis.”

As Meredith finished her words, a picture of a prosthetic limb appeared on the big screen behind her, which looked exactly like real human hands and feet.

"This prosthesis does not require any external energy to drive it. It only requires surgery to install the corresponding nerve interface at the site of the patient's amputation."

"Then the prosthesis can be driven directly by nerves, and with the help of built-in neural amplifiers, the power that the bionic prosthesis can generate will be far greater than the original limb."

Meredith was still on the stage introducing bionic prostheses.

But some people in the audience were no longer calm.

Mainly some military representatives, they saw the military value of this prosthesis.

At the same time, representatives from AIM Pioneer Technology could no longer sit still.

You should know that the reason why the desperate virus they developed has obtained military funding is that they can help some retired disabled soldiers restore their limbs.

This press conference held by Umbrella is undoubtedly destroying their jobs.

While the people from AIM Pioneer Technology were thinking about countermeasures, Meredith dropped another bombshell.

"From now on, we at Umbrella will establish our own Umbrella hospitals in isolated areas around the world. You only need to make an appointment at our hospital to apply for the nerve reconstruction surgery for bionic prostheses."

Now, some national representatives who watched the live broadcast or came to the scene were also moved.

If Umbrella is just selling this kind of bionic prosthesis, it really has nothing to do with them.

But the sentence just now, that Umbrella hospitals will be built all over the world, isn't this equivalent to investing in the local area?

To build a hospital, you need construction workers, right? To build a hospital, you need renovation workers, right? After the hospital is built, you need doctors and nurses, right?
These are all jobs.

Anyone who is not a fool will welcome Umbrella's investment in building a hospital.

So when Meredith finished speaking, many people present stood up and applauded.

You have to know that the United States is a multi-ethnic immigrant country.

The people present were from various countries around the world.

There are small countries and there are big countries.

Umbrella's charity-like behavior will naturally make everyone feel good about it.

Looking at the thunderous applause at the scene, the people from AIM Pioneer Technology couldn't be more angry.

In this way, AIM Pioneer Technology's actions against Umbrella, which has the support of the whole world, will face many obstacles.

Aldrich Killian was watching the live broadcast of Umbrella's press conference in his office at this time.

He was a little confused when he received a notice from his subordinates asking him to watch the live broadcast. But when he saw that Umbrella's product was a bionic prosthesis, the smile on Killian's face disappeared instantly.

His face turned heavy instead.

Looking at Meredith in the picture, she is full of energy and vigor.

Killian didn't have a very deep impression of this woman. He only knew that she was attacked by a mysterious man when she attended the Osborn Industries equity transfer ceremony.

The specific details have not been released (S.H.I.E.L.D. covered it up).

So Killian probably only knew about this person.

Now, it is unexpected that Umbrella will become the enemy of A.I.M. before Stark Industries.

Thinking of this, Killian picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Under Jonathan's villa, a platform-like place.

This railway track leads to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is an underground structure built by Jonathan out of his bad taste, and he named it The Hive.

There are only two ways to enter.

One is the high-speed train underneath Jonathan's house.

The other is the elevator entrance on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The entire hive is powered by a new element reactor at the bottom level.

Of course, unlike the genuine Hive, no biological viruses are studied here.

This place is only used to conduct some experiments that cannot be carried out openly.

For example, human cloning, human modification, synthetic animals and the like.

Today, the main permanent residents of the Hive are Dante, Laster, Theresa, and Guradoni.

Curtis Tarka is the director of research at Hive.

Serena would come to the Hive from time to time, mainly because her blood bag Gu Ziyun was now imprisoned in the Hive.

Because Meredith is now in a critical situation, Jonathan is no longer confident that she can be protected by the cyborg alone.

So Selena and Li Siya’s main task now is to protect Meredith.

Although Meredith is of no help to Jonathan in terms of combat power, but in his career.

Meredith's role is no less than that of a nuclear bomb.

In just half a year, I helped Jonathan do so many things.

Now, on the train, Jonathan, Selina, Meredith and Li Shiya are all there.

"Jonathan, is it okay for you to go alone?" Selena asked a little worriedly as she sat next to Jonathan.

Because of Umbrella's departure, there are countless people eyeing Meredith.

That's why Jonathan sent Selina and Li Shiya to protect Meredith closely.

As for why there were two people, it was to ensure that there was always at least one person protecting Meredith.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Jonathan patted Selena's hand.

As the first person to follow him, Jonathan and Serena have always had a close relationship.

Since the last time he was surrounded, Jonathan no longer dared to be as casual about such long-term crossing plans as before.

This is also a big part of the reason why the honeycomb was built.

After all, no matter how powerful SHIELD's spies are, they will not extend their hands to a hive where all the personnel except a few core personnel are cyborgs.

Soon, the train arrived at the Beehive.

Dante, Last and the others were already at the platform to greet them.

"Master." Dante walked in front of Jonathan and bowed deeply, as if he was deliberately showing off his cleavage.

But it was as if he had discovered something and suddenly covered it with his hand, but he didn't cover it completely, and half of it was still exposed.

Today she was wearing a pure black chest-length dress with a black suit jacket over it.

She would look like a widow in a Japanese movie if she wore a headdress.

Indeed, this special dress, coupled with the cover-up, makes it even more seductive.

Jonathan naturally took a few more glances.

Meredith, who was standing by, looked at Dante and snorted in displeasure.

In fact, Jonathan had known about the conflict between the two men for a long time.

But he didn't intervene. After all, he was the one who benefited, so why should he care? Just let it go.

This time, Jonathan's team is ready to stay in the Marvel world.

So after Jonathan opened the dimensional gate, no one followed.

Instead, he stayed where he was and watched Jonathan's figure disappear from the dimensional gate.

In the dimensional world.

As soon as Jonathan came in, he saw Ke'er who had been waiting there for a long time.

Jonathan planned to take only Cole with him on this exploration.

Turning back and putting his hand on the door handle again, Jonathan communicated with the dimensional gate again, allowing it to find a new world to connect to.
