In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

"And Banner is there too."

The weather here is so strange that not only SHIELD agents, but even Tony, who is wearing his armor, cannot get close.

Faced with this abnormal, bizarre, and extreme cold, Tony could only think of a handful of people who could get close to the source of the mutation.

Thor isn't here, but Hulk should be able to handle it, and if all else fails, there's always Wayne—what's there to be afraid of with a backup plan?

Following Tony to the back of the tribe, a hastily built wooden hut came into view.

However hastily made, compared to the other "houses" in the tribe, this is already considered a luxury villa.

Following behind the group, Wayne glanced at his phone. It contained a message from Viper—after the blizzard arrived, Viper instructed the branches of Fortress of Tomorrow around the world to deal with local cult riots and other issues.

The soldier who was doing charity work at the nursing home and Deadpool, who inexplicably ended up in Australia, were also given missions by Viper.

Even Peter and Gwen, who had only recently joined Fortress of Tomorrow, were assigned to deal with enemies that the special agents couldn't handle—Wayne started a company, and naturally, Peter and Gwen "applied for employment" not long afterward.

Poor Harry still doesn't understand why everyone else is always so busy.

After replying to Viper with "Good job," Viper immediately responded, subtly inquiring about Wayne's return time and requesting a "report" request.

Wayne naturally chose to ignore this, turned off his phone, and followed the others into the cabin.

Inside the cabin, Fury sat on a simple chair talking to a strong man who looked like Tarzan, shirtless and wearing tiger-skin pants.

Hearing the noise, Fury turned around and stared at Wayne with a hint of resentment. "You little brat, you actually hung up on me."

"..."

I'll not only hang up on you, I'll also block you.

Wayne completely ignored Fury and looked at Tarzan.

"His name is Ka Zhar, and he is the chief of this tribe."

Having long been accustomed to Wayne's coldness, Fury didn't pay much attention. He simply introduced to everyone, "Hydra once invaded the Wildlands, and it was S.H.I.E.L.D. that helped to repel Hydra."

"Wait, doesn't that mean S.H.I.E.L.D. has invaded...?"

"Ahem, anyway, we're old friends."

Fury also knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time was equivalent to "Snake H.I.E.L.D." It wouldn't make a difference if the Hydra invasion was called an invasion by S.H.I.E.L.D., since Hydra wouldn't have followed them if they hadn't found this place.

Moreover, when fighting Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. probably contributed a lot... in terms of being a hindrance, of course. Fury said that the fight was so difficult that time.

"The wind and snow outside are too severe, so we can only temporarily set up camp in this desolate place."

Fury sighed softly. Faced with a blizzard of that magnitude, his S.H.I.E.L.D. agents couldn't even operate outside.

"Anyway, now that everyone's here, let's get started."

Tony shrugged. "Banner, you'd better start thinking about something infuriating right now."

Upon hearing this, Banner scratched his head. "But I can't think of anything right now..."

"The toilet paper you used just now was actually stolen."

Tony chuckled mischievously. "You know, they've never seen paper before, so it's normal for them to be curious."

"Holy shit... hoo!!!"

It's one thing to only be able to make imperial-grade dry noodles! But they even stole his paper!

Do you know how desperate he was when he found out there was no toilet here? Do you know how desperate he was when the toilet paper ran out in the blink of an eye?

Especially since a venomous snake or a dromaeosaurid might suddenly jump out from the grass when he was crouching there, Banner had never experienced such despair, not even when he was being chased by General Ross.

Ka Zar grabbed a spear from the side, jumped up from his chair with a wary look on his face, and unconsciously took a few steps back in front of the roaring Hulk.

"Don't be nervous, Tarzan."

Tony said softly, "This big guy is on our side."

Although Kazal doesn't speak English fluently, he can understand it without much trouble... and as a "Tarzan," he can even imitate animal sounds.

He glanced at Tony, then at Fury, before cautiously lowering the spear little by little.

"Very good, then we need to hurry up."

Tony went outside and said, "After all, if this keeps up, the Earth will turn into an ice ball."

The rest of the people who were ready also came outside, except for... Hulk, who was peering at Wayne from the doorway.

The door to the cabin was far too small for Hulk; if he forced his way out, he would only smash a large hole—he knew that no one liked him smashing things, and this wasn't a place for bad guys. Would his younger brother hate him if he broke something?

Wayne simply used his bio-field to make the Hulk intangible, allowing him to pass through the building and walk out.

Hulk, who had emerged from the darkness, saw that his transparent body had returned to normal and that he hadn't messed anything up. He immediately spread his arms wide, wanting to give Wayne a bear hug—but in his excitement, he accidentally crashed into the wooden house behind him.

"..."

Looking at the wooden house with a big hole accidentally knocked out, Hulk scratched his head and sat down on the ground in frustration.

"Card, we'll fix your house."

Fury offered a word of comfort to Kazar, then glanced at everyone present.

He, Ka Zar, Tony, and Reed were clearly unable to leave the wilderness; they couldn't withstand the extreme cold outside.

As for the rest, the Thing and Hulk are physically strong enough, and Johnny's flames and Susan's force field can protect them in the extreme cold.

As for Wayne... Fury doesn't even need to consider the possibility of Wayne withstanding the extreme cold. The power of that kid's sneeze is probably stronger than the extreme cold that has frozen the entire world.

……

On the Antarctic ice sheet, hurricanes strong enough to tear steel whip up ice particles faster than bullets, scraping layer after layer off the snow-capped mountains.

The hazy, snow-covered landscape conceals an extreme cold disaster powerful enough to flatten human society.

Yet, in this biologically forbidden zone, a tiny flame stubbornly shines.

"Johnny, are you sure you can still hold on?"

Wayne stared at Johnny with dead fish eyes, just as speechless as Susan.

Johnny, however, crossed his arms and, trying to appear calm, parted his trembling lips and said, "Heh, just a little bit of hardship."

Holy crap! What the hell is this weather?!

I didn't feel anything while I was in the fighter jet protected by Susan's force field, but when I came out and saw this place, I realized that something was definitely wrong!

This isn't just a simple case of low temperature. Besides the temperature being low enough, there must be some other strange reason, otherwise it's impossible for him to feel cold!

"Johnny, should I use my force field...?"

"No!"

When Susan offered to help, Johnny refused without hesitation. Expanding the force field to resist the extreme cold would require more physical strength. At first, it was fine, but the closer he got to the source of the extreme cold, the more physical strength he would consume.

On the way here, Susan had no problem protecting a fighter jet, but now that she's getting closer to the source of the extreme cold, she's starting to find it a bit difficult.

Johnny didn't want to hold Susan back, and more importantly—as the eldest brother, he couldn't afford to lose to those bastards who were always trying to steal his younger brother away!

"Stickman? No way... Hulk? Yes!"

"Fuck you!!!"

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, managing to burn a small gap in this extreme cold disaster.
