“Ms. Lu, I completely understand your actions. The world would be a better place if there were fewer terrorists.”

"I'm not here to settle scores, but to recruit you into S.H.I.E.L.D. as a full-fledged agent."

Coulson felt a cold sweat break out for a moment, but he maintained his composure and stated the purpose of his visit directly.

In any case, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not leave her, a superhuman, unattended.

“I think you need to talk to my boss, Tony Stark, about this in person, since I’m employed by him now.”

Lu Yunmeng shrugged and said meaningfully.

Tony is a great boss; he's rich and has superpowers, so she can go wherever she wants.

If she could, she would rather not get involved with S.H.I.E.L.D., which is full of Hydra. Being spied on is a minor matter; there will definitely be countless troubles in the future.

"You may not know this, but there are many people with supernatural abilities in this world, and you are not the only one."

"In order to avoid creating unnecessary trouble and causing panic among ordinary citizens, S.H.I.E.L.D. will guide and control all supernatural beings to a certain extent."

Agent Coulson paused for a moment, then spoke again.

The bodyguard role is just a pretext. If someone with superpowers of this caliber really wanted to be a bodyguard, they would be in high demand all over the world.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has investigated and found that an annual salary of $5000 million is not insignificant, but there is absolutely no upper limit.

After all, there are plenty of super-rich people, big capitalists, and high-ranking government officials. Money is just currency used to satisfy material needs; it's not as valuable as one's life.

If possible, he would prefer to find out about this superwoman's future plans and arrangements.

"Of course, we are not trying to restrict your personal freedom, but we hope that you can cooperate with us in some preliminary work."

“Miss Lu, if you have no intention of joining S.H.I.E.L.D., I think we can talk about the ability test.”

"We need to know your skill data so that we can keep records."

Agent Coulson was very sincere. He didn't expect to win the other party over on the first meeting; good things take time, after all.

"By the way, do you have satellites that can monitor this area?"

Lu Yunmeng was silent for a moment, looked up at the sky, and instead of answering directly, asked a strange question.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. has the right to use some of the satellites. If you need help, we can talk.”

Coulson didn't understand what the other person meant, but still answered truthfully.

Within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s authority, they can mobilize almost all satellites, including hacking into the systems of some private satellites.

"You can now access satellite data to monitor this area."

Lu Yunmeng turned around and went back to her room, where she began to change into heat-resistant clothing in an orderly manner.

“I don’t understand what you mean, Miss Lu. Could you explain it more clearly?” Coulson shook his head and asked with some confusion.

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he still conveyed their terms to Nick Fury through the earpiece.

"You want to see my abilities, right? You can't test them in a confined space."

Lu Yunmeng glanced around calmly and said matter-of-factly.

She put on her specially made heat-resistant suit, looking bulky like a little fat girl, and then went to the open space in front of the villa, knelt on one knee, bent at the waist, and pressed her fist against the hard cement ground.

Coulson was baffled and looked confused, but he had already synchronized the footage with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system.

However, what happened next completely shocked him!

Lu Yunmeng took a deep breath, mobilized the energy in her body, and felt the invisible force constantly being exerted on her body. The earth began to tremble slightly!

The rubble and decorative sculptures began to float uncontrollably, as if influenced by some unseen, invisible energy.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud 'bang', and the floor was cracked in several places by the terrifying force. Lu Yunmeng's figure soared into the sky and flew straight into the clouds!

Dust billowed up instantly, and the powerful shockwave sent Coulson flying! He rolled several times on the ground, looking utterly disheveled!

Lu Yunmeng's lips curled up. Since you're so eager to know, I'll let you see enough! Hey, live broadcast!

"Fuck!!"

Meanwhile, far away in Nick Fury's office in the Tri-Wing building at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury watched the surveillance footage, suddenly stood up, and couldn't help but swear!

What did he see? A person taking off from the spot without any equipment! And getting faster and faster!

The speedometers in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system showed that this Superwoman was already exceeding Mach 10 and was still accelerating! Is she even human?!

Although he was mentally prepared, Nick Fury was still shocked when he actually saw the superhuman-like flying ability!

"Agent Hill, mobilize all surveillance satellites in the area. I need full access to observe the area!"

Nick Fury stared intently at the streaks of light on the computer screen, giving the order without looking up.

"Yes, Director! We have allocated access to six monitoring satellites to provide signal coverage to the area!"

The capable female agent immediately answered and began checking S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system data.

"What did the analysis team say? Can they estimate the target's maximum ability value?"

Nick Fury bit his finger and asked again.

"The target is still accelerating; they say they need time."

Agent Hill observed the fluctuating numbers and answered seriously.

In the basement workshop of a luxurious villa by the sea in Malibu, Tony is fiddling with parts of his armor.

The MK1 armor was too crude. Due to time constraints and harsh conditions, the MK1's functionality remained at a very basic level.

Now, he wants to incorporate some of his own creative ideas to build a new set of steel armor.

After experiencing a terrorist attack and kidnapping, Tony was filled with distrust of those around him and lacked a basic sense of security.

He had to put on an iron suit of armor to calm his anxiety.

During this period, he has been thinking about things. Apart from driving Lu Yunmeng to the new house, he has basically stayed at home and spent a lot of energy there.

"Sir, I think you should take a look at this," Jarvis's voice suddenly rang out.

"Jarvis, I've told you so many times, don't disturb me when I'm meditating. Right now, nothing is more important than designing the armor, okay?"

Tony rolled his eyes and said irritably.

“I’m sorry, sir, I think you would be interested in Miss Lu Yunmeng’s matter,” Jarvis, the AI ​​butler, continued.

Chapter 9 Highest Security Level

Tony was clearly taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand, brought up the projected video, and quickly widened his eyes in surprise.

In the video footage from Stark's surveillance satellites, a figure wearing a bulky heat-resistant suit flew straight upwards, having already broken through the stratosphere.

"My God!! What is she doing? Is she going to heaven?"

Tony was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.

This heat-resistant suit made of special material was actually made by the weapons research department at his request. He originally had no idea what Lu Yunmeng was going to do, but now he understands.

“In fact, Miss Lu Yunmeng has already gone to space. She is flying at Mach 30 to escape Earth’s gravity and is gradually approaching the second cosmic velocity,” Jarvis explained earnestly.

"Isn't she worried about oxygen? Or is her body strong enough to withstand the vacuum of space?"

Tony asked, somewhat uncertainly.

In the past, if someone had told him that humans could go into space using their physical bodies, he would have scoffed.

But now, the facts are undeniable and cannot be ignored!

"Based on Miss Lu Yunmeng's ability to withstand heavy firepower with her bare body in Afghanistan, I analyze that she must possess strong cellular activity and a strong genetic structure."

"Perhaps, Miss Lu's genetic mutation means that her oxygen requirement is not like that of ordinary humans."

Jarvis analyzed based on the available data.

"Damn, this is amazing, oh, I mean, so enviable!"

"Jarvis, we need to speed up the development of the MK2. I also want to experience the feeling of flying freely!"

Tony clenched his fist excitedly and said very seriously.

Humans can never escape the dream of soaring high, can they?

"Sir, I think the current materials and design are insufficient to enable the MK2 armor to go into space."

Jarvis reminded him.

“Then give it those abilities! I’m the mechanic, so what I say goes!” Tony said decisively.

Lu Yunmeng remained expressionless, tilting her head back as she rapidly ascended into the air, an invisible energy covering her body and forming a thin film.

Unlike Superman's biological stance, this energy membrane is more like a protective layer, propelling the body through the clouds while minimizing friction, and is limited to its own range.

After several sonic booms were triggered, the city on the ground became smaller and smaller until only the twinkling lights of thousands of homes remained.

The air was getting thinner and thinner, but she didn't feel any discomfort, just like walking normally on the road.

Soon, their wish came true, and they completely broke free from Earth's gravity, flying into space orbit.

Well, it was pitch black and a little cold, but it didn't affect the body's normal functions.

In an anaerobic environment, the cells in her body actually began to divide and multiply on their own, producing the oxygen needed by her body, so she could even go without breathing.

I got a feel for it briefly, and it seems like I could stay in space like this for a few days, but my energy would be depleted very quickly.

Lu Yunmeng straightened her back and faced the sunlight that had not been filtered by the atmosphere, and found that the energy in her body did indeed gradually increase.

In a static state, the increase and consumption of energy are almost equal. However, if the energy is in motion, the rate of regeneration still cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.

While long-distance interstellar travel is difficult to achieve, coming up to see the beautiful scenery of Earth is not a big problem.

After all, she's not a real superhero, and she still has a long way to go to reach the strength of a body of steel.

Lu Yunmeng quickly spotted a satellite bearing the Stark Industries logo in Earth's orbit, flew over, and mischievously flashed a peace sign at the camera.

Then I saw several other countries' space stations, including satellites with a red five-pointed star flag pattern.

In theory, since there is no friction in the vacuum of outer space, she can fly as fast as she wants and continuously accelerate.

But in reality, her body was not strong enough to withstand flight speeds exceeding that intensity.

Forget about the moon; it's hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and even at a maximum speed of Mach 35, it would take several hours to reach it—too exhausting.
