Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Then they continued the simulation, and the holographic images on the ground became more and more detailed. They even saw Happy's virtual figure, and after the explosion, something else appeared in front of them.

These are videos and photos obtained from the department. Although these videos and photos may not seem like much on their own, when put together, they can reconstruct the entire scene.

They saw Happy lying injured on the ground, his eyes and hands looking in one direction, and then they saw a soldier's identification tag on the ground.

Tony ignored the identification tag and instead had Jia Siwei do something else: create a map showing the distribution of temperature increases in various places over the past year.

After learning that the Mandarin was behind the terrorist attack, they removed all of those parts, leaving only a few. Looking at these few parts, they began to analyze them slowly.

After the analysis, everyone focused their attention on the bombing that occurred a year ago in Tennessee.

It is very similar to this bombing case. In this case, a soldier was also involved in the bombing, and no fragments could be found.

"This should be the starting point of the matter. Jia Siwei, keep all the files and materials related to this matter and make a backup. We'll go find Rod tomorrow."

"We're like hunters who've set the trap and are just waiting for the prey to take the bait. Hopefully, we can finish all of this before Christmas!"

As Tony spoke, he touched the nanodevices he had possessed in his lifetime, his tone filled with murderous intent.

Happy is very important to Tony, and the other party is the one who blew Happy up and seriously injured him, which Tony cannot forgive.

The next day, instead of going to find Rhodes together, they split up. Zhao Chen, Natasha, and Tony went to Rhodes' base together...

Hawkeye and Saul went to Tennessee to investigate the bombing that happened a year ago. Hawkeye planned to go alone.

Hawkeye was an elite agent before, so investigating these things was very easy for her; one person was more than enough.

Others might not know what kind of person their opponent was, but Zhao Chen knew very well. So he wasn't comfortable sending Hawkeye alone and arranged for Thor to go with him.

Upon arriving at Rhodes' base, they found it to be mostly empty, with hardly any soldiers.

"Rhodes, did you evacuate everyone? Why weren't you evacuated?"

"With your Avengers here, there's no need for anyone else. If others were here, they would only get hurt. I'm your friend, so I'll definitely stay and fight alongside you."

As Rhodes spoke, a smug look appeared on his face, indicating that he had won.

"From this moment on, 3.1 seconds, the terrorists who carried out the previous bombing attack could appear here at any time."

“I only left a few people at my base, just soldiers watching the radar communications, so I think we need to prepare in advance.”

"Tony, how about we both put on our armor now and get ready for battle? That way, when they come, we can catch them off guard."

Tony nodded.

"Well said, Iron Patriot."

Then Tony pointed to the nanomaterial on his chest.

Chapter 806 The Company Emerges

Anyone who sees Tony's armor for the first time will be shocked. Rhodey stood to the side, staring wide-eyed at Tony.

Then Tony and Zhao Chen explained the armor, and Rhodes was extremely envious.

"Zhao Chen, you actually went on a trip to space? When did you go? How come I didn't know that your base had so many good things?"

"Didn't you go to our base last time? Didn't you see that many things weren't from Earth? I thought you knew."

Zhao Chen looked at Rhodes with curiosity, because the things on Zhao Chen's horn were clearly not from Earth.

“I saw those things. I thought they were things left over from the Battle of New York. Tony, Zhao Chen, the three of us are good friends, the best of friends, right?”

After he finished speaking, Luo 27 looked at the two people in front of him with anticipation.

“We are indeed very good friends, and I am willing to share my things with you, but I’m sorry, Iron Patriot, I cannot share with him, I know you understand.”

Rhodes immediately understood Zhao Chen's meaning, and at that moment, he almost impulsively joined the Avengers.

However, there's no point in talking about these things now; their first priority is to eliminate the terrorists.

They waited at the base all day, from day to night, but the terrorists didn't appear. However, they received a message from Hawkeye and Thor at night.

Then Zhao Chen opened the portal, bringing Hawkeye and Left Ear back. Of course, he did this behind the backs of the base people, but not behind Rhodes.

"It's not suicide, it's a human bomb, but this bomb is a bit special."

At that moment, Hawkeye took out the file folder and even put back Rhodes' dislocated jaw, which had been so surprised.

The portal slowly closed, and Rhodes turned his gaze to Zhao Chen, unable to utter a single word.

If Tony weren't his best friend, and if he didn't know that much about the Avengers, Rhodes would have immediately written a report and submitted it to his superiors.

Hawkeye glanced at Rhodes once, then continued talking about the clues they had uncovered.

"This human bomb's name was Chad. He was a disabled soldier who participated in a human experimentation program. The company that conducted the experimentation was called AIM."

"In addition, we also encountered modified superhumans there. Their bodies can turn into magma, and their temperature is so high that it can melt ordinary iron instantly."

"If Thor hadn't come with me, I might not be back today. They can not only melt iron, but also breathe fire."

"Even if I cut off their limbs, they can turn into molten lava and then regenerate completely, just like monsters."

“We killed one of them, then the other ran away, and finally, we got this file from Chad’s mother.”

"Please wait a moment."

Rod thought for a moment; the name sounded very familiar.

"They were involved in the transformation of the Steel Patriots this time, and they worked in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Damn it, the top leader and the minister are all gone."

"I need to go find the second leader now. I'll leave this place to you. I'll be going now."

After saying this, Rhodes left. After Rhodes left, Tony looked down at the file folder in his hand, then looked up at the person in front of him.

"The matter is clear now. The company probably said they had limb regeneration technology and then had disabled soldiers participate in the experiment."

"It's just that this technology is not very mature or stable at the moment, which led to the emergence of human bombs."

Now that they have the loose end of the yarn in their hands, all they need to do is follow it to find 683.

Just then, bad news arrived: they had waited all day but hadn't seen any terrorists, so they probably weren't coming back.

They didn't get to see her because terrorists went to Stark Industries' headquarters, launched a terrorist attack, and then took Pepper Potts back.

An hour earlier, Pepper Potts was working in the president's office at Stark Industries headquarters.

She's been busy all day, from morning till night, without a moment's rest. Now that she finally has some free time, she can sit here and rest for a while.

Sitting on the sofa, Chili was wondering whether she should go to the beach, sleep in the mansion, or stay at the company and continue working when she woke up tomorrow.

Just then, the secretary came looking for Little Chili.

"There's a woman outside looking for the CEO."

The person who arrived was a female scientist who had a one-night stand with Tony, and she was also the one who invented the Extremis virus.

Chapter 807 Maya Hansen

In fact, Tony Stark also contributed significantly to the success of the Extremis virus, accounting for more than half of the credit.

This female scientist once demonstrated to Tony what happened after using the original Extremis virus on plants, and then she and Tony discussed it together.

Tony didn't answer the female scientist's question about how to use the Extremis virus on humans; instead, he had a one-night stand with Maya Hansen.

However, after this one-night stand, Tony also gave the female scientist a formula. It was actually a formula that Tony just came up with casually, but this story solved the problem of the Extremis virus entering the human body.

Human experimentation is what Dr. Ann is doing at the base. It started with a small number of human experiments, but gradually it has become a large-scale human experimentation.

After the experiment began, Dr. Killian also discovered that the laboratory was very unstable and they needed a lot of inhibitors.

These inhibitors are used to prevent the human body from overheating and exploding, which is why there are terrorist attacks and why they use the name of the Mandarin.

Every single bombing attack involved human bombs, and these human bombs were people who had been tested and whose experiments were not very stable.

They wanted to hide the truth and didn't want anyone to know. They had been researching the explosion problem for a long time but hadn't found a solution.

Then Killian remembered a formula that Tony Stark had given them before, a simple formula he had written down casually, that could solve such a big problem.

Killian felt that Tony Stark should now be able to tell them how to solve the problem of excessively high body temperature.

Then the incentive plan was to go to Stark Industries headquarters to find Pepper Potts, hoping to get Stark Industries to invest in the project.

Of course, it was just a pretext for investment; the main purpose was to get Tony to resolve the issue of the overheated body exploding.

Without even thinking, Little Chili rejected the offer.

Maya Hansen wasn't with Killian before; Killian approached her and recruited her into his team.

At that time, their main focus was on treating limb regeneration, which was a medical technology research project, and also a good one.

Later, Killian gradually wanted to use this technology to make biological weapons, which is what Zhao Chen saw in the storyline given to him by the system.

Maya Hansen came to find Tony Stark with the intention of betraying Killian, but Zhao Chen's arrival caused many changes in the plot.

In the storyline, without Zhao Chen, Tony Stark would have revealed his home address. However, after Zhao Chen caused trouble, the address of Rhodes's unit was revealed instead.

Despite such significant changes, the plot maintains a certain continuity, and the current second-in-command is different from the previous one.

However, there was no change in the fact that the second-in-command was colluding with Killian, and Killian was then informed that it was a military base, so he did not go there.

They are a terrorist organization, and Zhao Chen and Tony, who both care about their image, provoked them in front of reporters. Moreover, Killian and Tony have a grudge against each other.

Maya Hansen thought of telling Tony this news, but since she couldn't find Tony, she had no choice but to come to Stark Industries.
