Marvel's Death Merchant
Page 203
"Activate the high-explosive missiles, use the Vulcan cannons on your arms, puff puff puff puff puff..." Seeing that Captain America's situation was extremely critical, the commander immediately ordered the mech unit to launch a large number of missiles, providing a barrage of fire that allowed Captain America to catch his breath and then retreat from the area.
The mechs activated Metal Storm, instantly sending green blood splattering around them as countless mutated spiders fell. The situation began to be brought under control, but it was clearly still not enough.
"Mr. Rogers, are you alright?" The commander asked expressionlessly, looking at the disheveled Captain America.
"No, it's just that those guys are too difficult to deal with." Captain America shook his head, indicating that the enemy was still too powerful.
As the smoke cleared, the enormous mutated spiders still remained, much to their surprise. These giant spiders were completely unharmed, seemingly watching them with amusement. The mutated spider king was also protecting the surrounding spiders, so quite a few had survived.
"Sir, most of our weapons are useless against that thing, so we have to use the weapon for mass destruction," the squad leader said to the commander, frowning.
The mechs were obviously useless against that giant thing, which is why they reported it that way, but Captain America is safe now. 8
Chapter 550 The Beginning of the Biohazard Apocalypse
"Mr. Rogers, let's leave together! The rest of you, retreat. Some of you, detonate those nuclear bombs." The commander's face turned cold as he quickly gave the order.
"Alas, the Avengers' first battle has failed," Rogers said with a sigh, somewhat helpless.
"Avengers, Avengers. If you hear this, let's leave! Our mission has failed. This Hydra organization is now under the Umbrella Corporation's control." Rogers said helplessly to the entire Avengers team. Giving up the mission was unavoidable.
"Understood, we understand, Captain." The Hulk and the other Avengers' voices came through the communicator, indicating that they were aware of the situation.
Under the protection of Umbrella Corporation's mech forces, the Avengers managed to leave the area. Incendiary bombs were also dropped near the mutated spiders, creating a sea of fire to prevent the spider swarm from advancing.
"Sir, when should we drop the nuclear missile?" the team member asked cautiously. They still didn't know the exact timing, so they needed the commander to tell them personally.
"Once we've confirmed the Avengers have left, we can use those things. That's an order." The commander glanced at the Avengers slowly disappearing from the radar, then looked up at the people around him and said.
"Yes, we understand." The others were also quite aware that Umbrella Corporation mercenaries were capable of carrying out missions.
"We can begin. Retreat while attacking, and finally drop the nuclear missile at approximately the same time," the commander calmly ordered, then left while continuing the attack.
The number of mechs was still quite large, and many mutated spiders that tried to come over were beaten to a pulp. It was clear that Umbrella's firepower suppression was still effective, otherwise the mutated spiders would have torn them apart long ago.
"Alright, release all the nuclear missiles. Let's restore peace there!" the commander said coldly. Then, countless missiles from inside the mechs were launched, each carrying a 1000-ton nuclear warhead. The destructive power was self-evident; they were incredibly formidable, brimming with devastating force.
"Boom boom boom..." Countless nuclear warheads entered the Hydra organization's base. Then, countless shockwaves, carrying deadly radiation, ensured that none of the mutated spiders survived, thus annihilating them.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..." At the Hydra Antarctic base, a patch of static appeared on the monitor, clearly indicating that the nuclear explosion had rendered the monitor unusable.
"Hmph, the Umbrella Corporation is indeed cunning, daring to use such a dangerous nuclear weapon." Red Skull frowned. They knew how audacious Umbrella Corporation was; if they knew their location, a whole wave of missiles might have been coming.
Umbrella Corporation is ruthless in dealing with its enemies, typically starting with a barrage of missiles. Next comes various types of biological and chemical weapons. Only lastly do they deploy mercenaries, and even those aren't Umbrella's most important force; Umbrella's hidden strength is considerable.
“Of course, Umbrella Corporation also possesses considerable strength. Otherwise, how could it have survived until now?” Marcus said calmly, without even glancing at Red Skull. Although he had always betrayed Umbrella Corporation, no one knew its terror better than him; otherwise, Umbrella would have been wiped out long ago.
“Then Dr. Marcus, you can release the bio-missiles. This world is no longer safe for us. We need a place where we can move around.” Red Skull looked at Marcus, his eyes seeming to hold a different meaning.
"You mean you want me to release those missiles? I think so too. Umbrella's hidden strength is slowly being exposed, which is quite disadvantageous for us."
Marcus found Red Skull's words agreeable; the plan was one they had already agreed to, so using it earlier or later made no difference. This superhero world wasn't what he wanted either, so a world filled with biological weapons was actually quite good.
"Then let's continue the biological weapon missile barrage! Let the apocalypse come!" Marcus said coldly. He didn't care about the fate of the other creatures; he was resurrected to seek revenge.
"Contact Hydra, activate our hidden members elsewhere. Release our concealed biological missiles." Red Skull, upon hearing Marcus's words, was filled with excitement. He quickly ordered the hidden Hydra members to prepare for ultimate destruction.
“Yes, sir.” Baron Zemo began to act after receiving Red Skull’s order. He quickly contacted the last remaining Hydra members who had managed to infiltrate the organization at a cost.
Hydra's ability to clash with Umbrella Corporation to this point is practically impossible without substantial strength. Therefore, Hydra's hidden force consists of members capable of launching biological and chemical missiles.
"Sir, all contacts have been made. The total number of biological and chemical missiles is 6085, mostly prepared T-virus missiles and missiles mutated with the rabies virus." Baron Zemo looked at the situation on the screen and then reported in detail to Red Skull.
"Okay, I understand. Order them to release all those bio-missiles. Long live Hydra!" Red Skull had barely finished speaking when a soldier next to him raised his hand and shouted fanatically.
“Hydra is pretty good, don’t you think so, Bullseye?” Marcus waved his hand at Bullseye, indicating that he was speaking to him.
“Yes, Dr. Marcus. Hydra is indeed impressive.” Bullseye said enthusiastically to Marcus. As a subordinate who had gained Marcus’s power, Bullseye was quite dedicated.
"Heh, this is truly amusing. Witness this final moment, the last glimpse of this world! Taskmaster." Red Skull glanced at Taskmaster, the skull-faced figure beside him. Destroying this world meant nothing to him; it was perhaps Hydra's most successful endeavor.
The final minute of peace in the Marvel universe seemed tranquil, yet countless missiles rained down on various locations. Numerous important areas were shrouded in a blue mist, mutations were slowly occurring, and a darkness that seemed to devour everything was gradually forming—truly dangerous places.
Countless viruses have begun to be released, and the real danger has begun; the world is no longer at peace. Whether superheroes and the world can survive the impending catastrophe depends on the world's superheroes.
Umbrella received the news shortly after Hydra launched its missiles and then gradually began to consolidate its power.
Chapter 551 The Meeting Before the End of the World
Marcus and Red Skull's desperate plan succeeded, essentially disrupting the plans of Umbrella Corporation and the superheroes. Moreover, it laid a fatal blow, threatening the entire world. The T-virus and the mutated rabies virus are no longer so easily dealt with; this Tokyo incident won't just affect one region, but the entire Marvel universe, plunging it into a dangerous situation.
A cold autumn wind swept through every corner of the White House, or rather, this military fortress, leaving the soldiers outside feeling somewhat uneasy. This situation seemed difficult to resolve, and perhaps even impossible to resolve.
Today was supposed to be a comfortable weekend, a time for people to relax. After a week of intense work, people from all walks of life finally had time to rest. Normally, soldiers and officers would stroll in and out, chatting and laughing, but today the situation seemed completely different. Almost all the soldiers in the vicinity of the White House had been mobilized, and Umbrella Corporation mercenaries were also present. All Umbrella Corporation bases were under martial law. Countless barbed wire fences and piles of cars made the situation entirely different.
Moreover, on the basketball court not far away, every basket scored by the soldiers would elicit cheers from the surrounding recruits, but the atmosphere around them was different now.
Outside the White House, tanks and armored vehicles were parked everywhere, and countless armored units were stationed on the lawn. A war machine resembling Iron Man roared as it patrolled the area, seemingly observing something. Meanwhile, large numbers of soldiers were setting up defensive lines. Besides this area, at the borders of all American cities, reinforced concrete structures were being constructed using special cement. Umbrella Corporation was in a slightly better position; they already possessed underground structures and stored a large amount of supplies, enough to last for decades.
Iron Man leaned against the conference room table, staring at the screen on his watch. His vision was filled with the image of countless zombies devouring humans, and a deep sense of despair washed over him. New York City was the place where Marcus and Red Skull had deployed the fewest biological missiles. Basically, it was just on the periphery.
"Stark, how are you?" As Captain America's voice rang out, a hand was placed on his shoulder. As partners who had just left the Hydra base, the Avengers' relationship was still roughly the same.
Iron Man slowly turned his head and saw Captain America, his comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him back from the Hydra bio-base. Iron Man nodded helplessly. Although the superheroes had suffered no losses, the world was slowly beginning to crumble.
"Alright, Mr. Donald. I'd like to hear your advice. Hydra has released a lot of biological missiles, which has led to a biological crisis. This time, it's not just like the situation in Tokyo before." The white president, sitting at the head of the U-shaped conference table, said calmly.
After receiving information from the Umbrella Corporation, they quickly ordered the construction of fortresses on the outskirts of various cities to defend against the impending biological crisis.
"Sir, according to the final resolution passed by the military, they were prepared to launch a nuclear missile to erase that place, just like before. But I regret to inform you that this is impossible. Everyone knows about the radiation monsters in Tokyo, so I won't go into details. Therefore, we cannot use a nuclear missile." Tang Tian glanced at his expression and then answered calmly.
"Oh, that is a problem. I think the disqualification action should be cancelled." The president clearly knew the reason for this and was prepared to cancel it, but the defense was better.
“Umbrella Corporation can provide the military with many weapons, and they have fully developed biological and chemical weapons. S.H.I.E.L.D. can acquire Umbrella's technology. We can also provide mech technology.” Tang Tian raised his head, looking at the surprised gazes of those around him, and said seriously.
Tang Tian, as the robot avatar of his main body, naturally wouldn't care about his suggestions. He could explain the decision to them so bluntly. They had plenty of the technology he offered; they wouldn't care about that.
He's an arms dealer himself; dealing with those things was something he was bound to face sooner or later. After all, this world still has some use; it can't be easily destroyed by a biohazard.
"So what's your suggestion, and what do you need me to do? This biohazard crisis is very widespread, so we have no choice but to cooperate." The Avengers members also had extremely solemn expressions. They knew how terrible a global biohazard crisis was, so they asked Captain America first.
"Yes, that's what I mean too," the president agreed. There was no clear response from the military, but they were ready to prepare. The devastating biohazard made them feel very uneasy.
"I think we need to build a lot of bases. Everyone has seen the current situation. Umbrella Corporation can send a large number of mercenaries to defend it. As for the superheroes, they should protect themselves and those cities." Tang Tian thought for a moment and said calmly to the people around him. Obviously, he had almost finished his preparations. The plan was that simple, but the outbreak of a biological crisis was not so simple.
“I agree. All military bases can be fortified. We will cooperate with Umbrella Corporation. We can’t guarantee the defense of other cities, but we will protect New York City and Washington, D.C. We believe Mr. Donald also needs this, since Umbrella Corporation’s headquarters are located here.” Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., said earnestly, not forgetting to ask Tang Tian for his help.
"Of course, there's no problem. This is the foundation of the Umbrella Corporation. I will build this place into the most powerful fortress, so please get ready." Tang Tian finished speaking and left. The people around him were satisfied with their words. After all, the Umbrella Corporation was a super company with more than 200,000 mercenaries, which was no less than that of the military.
"From today onwards, the Avengers will closely monitor the situation in New York City. Find the other superheroes quickly and bring them all to Washington. The same goes for the mutants," Nick Fury ordered the Avengers.
“No problem, Avengers. Everyone needs to protect this place and keep searching for the superheroes,” Captain America said to the Avengers, and the others agreed.
"Sir, we've received news from the Justice League. They're attacking the key, and so far, Umbrella Corporation continues to vie for Hydra's favor. It's the final moment; Hydra is essentially completely destroyed." Nick also told his superior, General Ross, that Hydra's destruction was imminent and more danger was on the horizon.
"Yes, I understand. This is really not good news." General Ross shook his head, expressing his helplessness.
Chapter 552 Sufficient Preparation
In the underground city conference room at Umbrella Corporation headquarters in New York City.
Wesker sat in a huge conference room, looking up at a massive electronic map of New York City. Tang Tian was also beside him; as the temporary supreme leader of the Umbrella Corporation, he wielded considerable power.
At that moment, an electronic door opened, and a fully armed Umbrella Corporation mercenary walked in. The headquarters' underground city base had already been infiltrated by 200,000 mercenaries, making it a truly terrifying force.
"Sir, we've discovered several other virus outbreak sites elsewhere, which we've ruled out. We've confirmed the initial location of the virus outbreak and are using the antidote for cleanup," the man said respectfully. Wesker, as the second most powerful figure in Umbrella Corporation, possessed resources far exceeding those of his competitors.
“Hmm.” Wesker nodded. “Has the military started to notice this? Or are they not moving as fast as we are?”
"Not yet, sir. We've contacted all our military contacts, and he'll help us cover things up. The situation in those cities is still under control. For the sake of stability, although a biological crisis won't erupt immediately, the situation is clearly completely different."
“Then we need to act quickly. This kind of thing can’t be suppressed for long. Once the situation escalates, we’ll probably be unable to do anything more. We need to get our mercenaries ready with supplies and all the weapons ready.” Wesker said calmly. The biohazard crisis was about to break out, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
"Don't worry, sir. We have a lot of influence in many cities. We can be sure that as long as we need supplies, many merchants will buy them from us. After all, we have considerable strength," the man said confidently.
"Hmm, very good, you can go now." Wesker said calmly, glancing at Tang Tian. He knew that the person wasn't the real Tang Tian, but at most a robot, but he still needed to be respectful. Everything he had was given to him by Tang Tian.
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the man turned around and immediately retreated.
Just as Wesker was about to take a break, Tang Tian glanced at him, clearly wanting to say something. Tang Tian looked almost exactly the same as before, dressed in a suit and smiling as he observed Wesker's situation.
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Wesker knew he must have something to say, so he stood up and said, "Boss, what do you need me to do? If you need to completely eliminate the Hydra organization, we'll use high-yield nuclear warheads immediately."
Upon hearing Wesker's words, Tang Tian's smile deepened. He said calmly, "I'm worried about the virus mutation. I sense that the main body will return in a while, and its strength will be absolutely formidable."
Wesker replied respectfully, "Yes, boss. Although we haven't eliminated Hydra yet, everything is still under my control. Completing those missions is very simple for Umbrella Corporation."
Tang Tian smiled and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said with a faint smile, "Your power is not perfect yet. It must be painful to have to inject the pressure-relieving agent every day, right? I can give you more power, and I believe in you. You can choose the Wolverine power. Although you gained superpowers after being exposed to radiation from the cosmic storm, I believe it won't be too strong."
Wesker was startled, but continued with a smile, "You don't need to worry about me being afraid of you. Wesker, you're smart enough to have this right, and I don't want you to become a mindless monster. I know the virus in your body has evolved to its limit and can't evolve any further."
Wilkes quickly agreed and became even more respectful. Tang Tian had given him strength again, which made him feel somewhat flattered; Umbrella Corporation was indeed quite adept at attracting talent.
Tang Tian thought for a moment and then said, "You need to make arrangements for all the Umbrella Corporation bases recently. The biohazard crisis will break out soon. Although those things are not very powerful, they can still do something."
"Yes, sir, I will continue to work hard, and I will keep Umbrella under control, especially in New York City."
“Very good. It’s important for our plan that you’ve accomplished these things. I will have mercenaries assist you. If the situation gets out of control, we can use the Umbrella Corporation base as our target!” Tang Tian said coldly. The biohazard was not important to him at all. As long as his main body returned to open the colony in the dimension, all the high-tech weapons would come, not to mention the benefits.
“Yes, sir,” Wesker said, glancing respectfully at Tang Tian. Although the biohazard outbreak was only described as a riot, the situation was still extremely difficult to control. Especially since some intelligent people had already realized the problem and were withdrawing money from banks.
A bank in New York City, somewhere.
"Sir, how can I help you? I'm Pete, the lobby manager here," a middle-aged man in his forties asked.
"It's nothing, my friend is handling some business here, I'll wait over there, no need to trouble you." A successful man said apologetically to Pete, then turned back to look at the newspaper in his hand.
“Then I won’t bother you any longer, sir. If you need anything, just come and find me. It would be my pleasure to serve you,” Pete said as he walked toward his office.
People have been coming to the New York City bank several times in the past few days. While it's a bit suspicious, Pete hasn't done anything about it. After all, it's normal for some people to frequent the bank. And although the recent riots are strange, he won't say anything about them.
Successful people may be reading the newspaper, but they also see three masked men entering through the door. There's no doubt that only one person could be present in such a situation.
'Bang bang bang...' Several gunshots rang out, and everyone was quite surprised.
"Listen up, everyone! Hands above your heads! Above your heads! Get down!" the armed man shouted as he ran toward the storage window, followed by two other men.
After seeing those people firing guns and shouting, the successful people had already hidden in a corner to see how things would develop. It was going to be very interesting.
"Come out, buddy, I'm here to withdraw money." One of the fat men joked to a bank employee, while suddenly pulling him out and saying to the female employee who was about to press the alarm, "Hands up."
Looking at the chaotic customers and bank employees, the obese man said, "Obviously, we don't want you to move around, otherwise we can't guarantee your lives."
