Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

It's no wonder these people all had such tense faces and didn't say much; anyone would feel uncomfortable being tested unilaterally by a foreign power.

They're all superpowered, so who's weaker than whom?

These self-proclaimed superheroes of the Celestial Empire only did so because the country needed them.

Of course, the Celestial Empire also has the purpose of wanting to know the true strength of Supergirl.

However, it certainly looks like the demeanor of a great power. While other countries would rather hide their superpower teams in their pockets, China openly displays them in the open, even letting you know the strength of these superpowered individuals, without any concealment, all for the safety of the Earth.

In contrast, the situation in some Western countries is much more complicated.

"Miss Lu, we are extremely sincere. If you agree to help us test the Fengshen Team, please feel free to make your requests. As long as it is within our capabilities, we will support you without reservation!"

Zheng Xian put down his teacup, his eyes full of expectation, and spoke sincerely.

Before Lu Yunmeng could agree, Tony leaned closer and whispered, "Hey, Lu, you don't have to force yourself. Strictly speaking, your home should be in the West, and the Celestial Empire can't force you to."

He worried that Lu Yunmeng would find it difficult to refuse him because of his Chinese ancestry, especially since the Supergirl's abilities were highly classified. Even what she showed was only what she wanted outsiders to see.

Tony knew very well that Lu Yunmeng's strength had increased dramatically after she returned from her disappearance for a few days—to the point that Jarvis couldn't even calculate the upper limit of her power using his algorithm.

If the test request is granted, although China will have proactively revealed the strength of the Fengshen team, the strength of Supergirl will also be difficult to conceal.

"Relax, Tony. Nobody can force me, but China is very sincere, isn't it? I have an aunt living here, and if showing my abilities can help her receive better care, I think it's worth it." Lu Yunmeng reassured him not to worry, making no attempt to hide anything, and smiled easily.

Even if your home is in the West, it's still just another part of this world. It's not so easy to let go of your feelings for your true hometown.

“Okay.” Tony sighed.

He actually wanted to suggest that he bring his aunt to Los Angeles, as he was financially capable of providing her with the best life and care.

But then I thought about it and it didn't seem quite right. It's fine for someone who grew up in China to travel to Los Angeles, but it's a bit cruel to leave home and never return.

"Brother, thank you!" Lu Yunmeng's expression was very solemn as she raised her fist to bump into Tony. Stark has a warm heart; Pepper was right about that.

“Oh, you’re being so cheesy, Lu. This is just your employee perk. Remember to save your boss in times of danger,” Tony said playfully, his eyebrows dancing.

Lu Yunmeng was about to agree, but before she could speak, Zheng Xian suddenly received a phone call, and his expression became increasingly serious.

Chapter 38 The Sudden Plane Disaster

Inside the ground control tower at Beijing Capital International Airport, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Zheng Xian walked into the hall with a livid face and hurried steps, followed closely by several members of the Fengshen Battle Team.

Their faces were also filled with tension and anxiety, as if an invisible pressure permeated the air, making it hard to breathe.

The dinner was abruptly interrupted because something happened.

Lu Yunmeng and Tony were taken to the meeting room to rest for a while. Zheng Xian apologized for this, but his mind was already on the passenger plane that was about to crash.

His brows were furrowed, and a hint of anxiety was barely perceptible in his eyes.

"Director Zheng, the specific situation has been confirmed. Flight CY3462 experienced an engine malfunction, and human error cannot be ruled out." The person in charge of the control tower hurriedly reported while catching up with Zheng Xian.

"Captain Liu and his crew are working hard to troubleshoot the problem, but based on the extent of the damage to the aircraft, it is highly unlikely that a safe landing will be possible." The person in charge's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Zheng Xian paused slightly, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

He asked in a deep voice, "How many passengers are on board? How long until the plane reaches Chinese airspace?"

"There are 320 passengers on flight CY3462, and a total of 331 people including the crew!" The data handler in the control tower hurriedly replied, his voice tinged with panic.

"Based on the current flight speed, the passenger plane will reach the airspace over Beijing in another ten minutes!"

"Such a short time? Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Zheng Xian's voice suddenly rose as he angrily questioned.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

From the time the airline reported the incident to the relevant departments to the time it requested assistance from the Shenmao Bureau, the aircraft malfunction had clearly been going on for some time!

Now, time is running out.

"According to Captain Liu's report on flight CY3462, they were confident they could control the disaster and safely land the plane at a suburban airport." The tower manager lowered his head in shame, his voice growing softer. "However, in the end, troubleshooting failed. The twin-turbo engines caught fire and shut down completely, and the left wing of the aircraft caught fire and was damaged, leaving it in a state of imbalance!"

Zheng Xian's face grew even darker, as if it could drip water.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Now is not the time to assign blame; we must find a solution as soon as possible.

"According to the analysis team's calculations, based on the current flight path of the malfunctioning passenger plane, it is highly likely to crash in the downtown area of ​​Tianmen Square!" The tower manager's voice carried a hint of despair. "It's noon now, and the streets near Tianmen Square are densely populated. According to data from Tianyan satellite monitoring of the ground, at least 100,000 civilians are lingering at the crash site!"

"The military, police, and fire brigades have been dispatched, but a complete evacuation will take at least an hour, and we simply don't have that much time!"

Zheng Xian's face instantly turned ashen, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.

Evacuate 100,000 people in ten minutes?

This is simply an impossible task.

Various possible solutions flashed through his mind, but each one seemed so powerless.

Among the superpowered individuals in S.H.I.E.L.D., only Grace Tan, who manipulates vectors, possesses the ability to teleport over a wide area, but she can only teleport a dozen or so people at a time.

Even if she did her best, she couldn't take care of all the people in the disaster area before the plane crashed.

"Chief, I can try to change the plane's course!" The weather witch's expression was obscured by her cold mask, but her eyes were filled with urgency.

She possesses the ability to fly on the wind, barely managing to catch up with the passenger plane, and can use weather control to create strong winds, deviating the passenger plane's flight path to some extent.

"Can you hold up the passenger plane and slow its descent?" Zheng Xian asked, frowning, his voice tinged with anticipation.

"No, my superpowers have a limit, and the passenger plane is too heavy," the Weather Witch explained succinctly, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

A large passenger plane weighs at least several hundred tons; there's no way she could use superpowers to lift it up and then place it steadily on the ground.

Zheng Xian's expression turned even uglier.

In fact, after receiving the distress call, the Shenmao Bureau dispatched several powered airships to the scene.

However, neither hook locks nor robotic arms could be used to tow the aircraft while keeping it intact.

After all, due to the different materials, under the enormous gravitational acceleration, even if the connection to the passenger plane could be successfully made in the air, the final result would be that the cabin shell would be torn off.

In the face of the plane crash, the only ones who can truly be of use in the superpower team are the Weather Witch and Vector.

The Devastator's drive armor lacked power; it could lift vehicles weighing several tons without much trouble, but it was completely incapable of handling passenger planes weighing several hundred tons.

Sabre is an assassin, very skilled in ground combat, but not very good at rescuing people from plane crashes, and his role is minimal.

Soldier One can wear flight gear, but its power is not as great as that of the Destroyer.

The Fengshen team couldn't perfectly resolve this air disaster; they could only minimize casualties—that was Zheng Xian's conclusion. But the current problem was how to deal with the potential catastrophe of a passenger plane crashing into a busy urban area.

"Weather Witch, Destroyer, depart immediately and deviate from the course of CY3462 as much as possible!" Zheng Xian's voice carried a hint of determination, as if he were making a final struggle.

"Vector, use your superpowers to go to the areas potentially affected by the plane crash and help the military and police evacuate the public!"

"Sword, Soldier Number One, you are in charge of coordinating the on-site evacuation and preventing troublemakers and criminals taking advantage of the chaos from obstructing the evacuation process! If you discover any such individuals, you are permitted to use any means necessary, as long as no one dies!"

Zheng Xian issued orders one after another, his tone exuding an unquestionable authority.

However, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. This order meant abandoning the hope of survival for those three hundred people.

But they had no other solutions to begin with, so they could only prioritize ensuring that the lives and property of the large number of people in the downtown area were not threatened.

"Chief, I can try using my overload superpower. Maybe it can slow the plane's descent as much as possible." The Weather Witch hesitated for a moment, a resolute glint in her eyes, and suggested in a low voice.

Her superpower has an overload output mode, which can create several medium-sized tornadoes out of thin air.

However, the side effects of using it will lead to the decline of bodily functions, eventually causing one to gradually lose superpowers and die, a process that is extremely painful.

Faced with the loss of more than 300 innocent lives, she chose to give up her own hope of survival.

The reason why superheroes are called superheroes is that they must take on a great responsibility for the safety of the lives of the general public!

The people create heroes, and heroes also need to protect the people.

The Weather Witch's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear in the quiet command center. Many tower staff turned their gazes toward her, and her teammates also looked on in disbelief.

"Captain, you!" Grace Tan couldn't help but say, her voice choked with emotion.

The weather witch merely raised her hand, signaling her not to intervene. Apart from that, no one spoke, and no one had the right to decide anything for another.

Zheng Xian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice unusually gentle: "Do what you can, and the country and the people will be your support!"

The weather witch nodded firmly, ready to begin her operation.

The members of the Fengshen team looked sorrowful. Their captain was going to his death, and they were powerless to help him. This sense of helplessness was despairing!

"Hey, I think you guys are being too pessimistic. I think there's a better solution." At that moment, a mocking voice suddenly came from the doorway of the control tower.

Everyone stared at him angrily, only to find that it was Tony Stark, the Iron Man who had been invited to China.

“Mr. Stark, you should stay in the lounge. You can call for service if you need anything.” Zheng Xian narrowed his eyes, his voice not loud, but filled with anger.

He had some understanding of this American tycoon's unreliable personality from the information he had gathered.

Arms dealer, genius inventor, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, ranked among the top ten most influential people of the 21st century by Forbes, he has countless titles.

The Iron Man armor is quite good, far surpassing the Destroyer's energy-driven armor in terms of technology and energy supply.

But this is a passenger plane crash! It's not child's play!

Zheng Xian doesn't believe Iron Man has any solutions.

With seven minutes to go, the passenger plane will crash in the bustling downtown area of ​​Tianmen Square. He doesn't want to waste all his time on boring conversations!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. You all look so tragic. Are you preparing to die?" Tony shrugged and said with an awkward smile, "I'm very happy to be in China. There are beautiful sights, delicious food, and your warm hospitality. I hope I can be of help."

"So I told Lu, and she has already set out."

"What did you say?!" Zheng Xian exclaimed in shock, stepping forward in disbelief and grabbing Tony's shoulder.

Supergirl took matters into her own hands to deal with a passenger plane crash that could have a huge impact, and went alone without seeking help?

This is a complete joke!

The plane crash will inevitably cause public outrage, and even if speech is controlled, it will be difficult to cover up the truth. At that time, everyone will point the finger at the superwoman for her poor handling of the situation!

The hard-won relationship will be destroyed in an instant, which is not something Jung Hyun wants to see!

"Okay, you're a bit too strong, Zheng, you're hurting me." Tony frowned and quickly broke free. This guy looks thin, but he actually has a lot of muscles hidden under his suit.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Lu wouldn't get involved in such a mess if she wasn't confident. You might not know her capabilities. Have you heard about the New York incident...?"
