American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

However, those headless corpses with miserable deaths still made them feel sad. The boss was too murderous!

Anyone who becomes his enemy will face hell. Perhaps Satan is more amiable...

"Pack this thing up." Dane pointed to the wriggling mass on the ground.

Even if it is a desperate virus, it is very difficult to make up for the loss of the entire upper body, at least not in the short term.

Dane prepared to pack it up and take it away.

He found that he had some prejudice against the Extremis virus. It did have some serious flaws, but it was not without its merits.

If its side effects can be solved, the Extremis virus can also be a very good biological repair technology. If only its regenerative ability is retained, the transformed person will gain recovery ability that is no less than that of Wolverine.

Dane himself may not necessarily need it, but for Pepper and other Black Widows who have no super powers, it is a life-saving skill.

Speaking of which, in "Avengers 4: Endgame", if Tony Stark had been injected with the Extremis virus in advance, would he have avoided death?

Following orders, the members of the assault team immediately began to pack up Killian.

Although the temperature of his body is still very high, it is no longer as exaggerated as one thousand degrees. The use of high-temperature resistant materials can prevent the commandos from being burned.

While they were busy, Dane entered the server center room inside the laboratory and began downloading valuable technical information from their database.

In core scientific research laboratories like this, the internal network is generally disconnected from the outside world to prevent top hackers from invading and stealing secrets.

Killian knew that Tony Stark had an artificial intelligence named "Jarvis", so he took this aspect very seriously.

But he certainly could not have imagined that there was a hardcore hacker who would choose to rush in directly and then calmly copy away all the data.

While waiting, Dane also quickly glanced at some information. He found that in addition to the Extremis virus, AIM had also conducted many other studies on super-humans.

In particular, the archives also showed that they had observed a strange creature called "humanoid", which is a life form between animals and plants, and is very special in its life form.

Dane looked familiar, but then he realized, wasn't this the Marvel version of Swamp Thing?

However, the humanoid is somewhat different from DC's swamp monster. Its human body seems to be affected by another extra-dimensional force.

In "Thor 3", there is a human-like head among the portraits of all the champions in the fighting arena on Sakaar. If that is really him, how did he get to Sakaar?

Perhaps the extra-dimensional power had indeed manifested in him, and Dane was quite interested in this.

Because there was a lot of information, it took Dane three minutes to download it all.

It is worth mentioning that Dane just saw that AIM and SHIELD have a cooperative project.

Since the 9.11/ incident, the United States has officially restarted the "Super Soldier" program, relying on the blood sample extracted from Captain America that year, divided into several parts and handed over to different units for research and development.

This included General Ross's "Gamma Ray" project, which, as we all know, inadvertently gave rise to the "Hulk."

There is also Osborn Enterprises' "Human Enhancement" project, which has been successful after Dane's intervention.

Of course, in terms of power, "human enhancement" cannot reach the level of "Green Goblin" or Captain America. It is probably a second-level human enhancement. Under normal circumstances, the recipient can reach the level of top athletes.

It’s not that Norman can’t come up with something stronger, but after weighing the pros and cons, this is the approach with the greatest benefit-cost ratio.

America doesn't actually need its entire military to be made up of supermen; that would be a nightmare...

AIM also took advantage of Roxxon's help to obtain some blood samples and developed a version of the Extremis virus that can be used on humans.

The "Extremis virus" was first discovered by Maya Hansen and applied to plants.

However, the use of the Extremis virus on plants at that time had great disadvantages. Although it could quickly repair damaged parts of the plants, they would explode directly due to uncontrollable high temperatures.

Later, Tony Stark modified the genetic equation of the relevant enzyme telomeres to initially solve this problem.

Killian then studied Captain America's genetic samples and added the extracted serum to the RNA segment of the Extremis virus, allowing the virus to act on the human body.

However, the defect of "flammable and explosive" has only become smaller, but has not disappeared.

Killian himself is not immune to this flaw, but the reason he can heat himself to over a thousand degrees without exploding is mainly because he has modified his body to allow most of the heat to be released through his mouth.

As long as the heat is discharged in time, the explosion process can be blocked, and then the body temperature can be cooled down by calming the heart rate and reducing the metabolic level.

"It's quite a clever idea." Dane was quite appreciative of Killian's work.

Although he doesn't have the same genius creativity as Tony Stark, he has found a new way to avoid risks, which is pretty good. He is a talented person.

He could see that the biggest problem with this defect was that they had not been able to find the genetic individual that was most compatible with the desperate virus. Most experimenters only barely met the requirements for the transformation, so they could only bear the side effects.

Viruses are foreign bodies after all, and rejection reactions are inevitable.

This is a bit like the genetically modified spider in The Amazing Spider-Man. The spider venom itself can only be adapted to specific genes. Other people are "illegal users" and even if they cheat, they have to bear the risks themselves.

If Dane remembers correctly, the genome that is most compatible with the Extremis virus seems to be Pepper's?

"Boss, it's done."

Dane looked back and saw that Killian had been wrapped in fireproof material like a half-mummy.

"Then retreat."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a problem. He didn't seem to see the female scientist Maya Hansen here.

She was lucky, otherwise Dane really didn't know whether he should kill her.

"Burn everything here down before you leave!"

Chapter 758 Doubt

By the time Maya Hansen received the news from the European base, it was already early the next morning. She was awakened from her sleep by an emergency call.

Because of its hidden location, the experimental base was not discovered by the locals until it was burned to the ground.

By the time the Pioneer Technology team arrived to rescue, only a few fire-resistant devices had survived to the end, but most of the other data was destroyed in the fire.

This dealt a heavy blow to AIM, which had been on a roll recently, and Maya Hansen was stunned.

Although she has recently become somewhat dissatisfied with Killian's increasingly cruel and inhumane style, she has not yet reached the point where she wants to part ways.

Now that such a big thing happened at the base, she was at a loss and could only choose to call him.

But no one answered the phone.

"Doctor, our people found out that Killian was in the base on the day of the fire, and..."

The assistant seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Tell me, how much worse can it get?"

"We found many bodies in the base. They were not burned to death, but murdered!"

What the assistant didn't say was that most of them died in a miserable way, without even a complete head, and anything on their bodies that could prove their identity was basically burned to ashes.

But what is strange is that these bodies remained intact in the fire, while the clothes on their bodies were burned.

"..."

Maya felt a little embarrassed. She knew the reason, because those were the subjects who had been injected with the desperate virus and successfully survived.

She was not very clear about the source of the "materials" for human experiments, but she knew that most of the volunteers who voluntarily received the injections were veterans who were injured and disabled on the battlefield.

Because of their disabilities, these soldiers find it difficult to find suitable jobs in society, so they have a strong desire to restore their health and voluntarily undergo the desperate virus injection experiment.

This is different from the "materials" used in human experiments. The volunteers are injected with relatively mature experimental products with a higher survival rate.

About three out of ten people can survive, and one can roughly withstand the side effects of the desperate virus and become a desperate warrior.

This success rate is not low compared to the super powers they have obtained.

However, people who are successfully infected with the Extremis virus do not become little firemen immediately. It takes a long time for the virus to replicate itself and completely infect the entire body of the recipient. During this period, AIM real-time monitoring is required to complete the transformation safely without any problems.

Killian relied on this to gather many disabled soldiers who had been successfully cured, and made them "willingly" become AIM's thugs.

However, this kind of thing cannot be done in a high-profile manner, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of relevant departments. Pioneer Technology is not yet strong enough to challenge international organizations, and must act with caution.

Therefore, up to now, the number of Extremis that Killian actually has is very small, far less than the scale in "Iron Man 3".

But Maya knew that Killian had a team of desperate warriors. After all, it was these people who were responsible for security when she was doing experiments in that base.

That's why she was so surprised now. Because she was a participant in the experiment, she knew very well what abilities these desperate warriors who succeeded in the experiment possessed.

She even thought that even Iron Man, the most famous man in the United States, would find it difficult to get any advantage at the hands of these Extremis warriors. To some extent, the Extremis warriors could restrain the Iron Man suit.

At a high temperature of nearly one thousand degrees, even an iron armor would be melted through.

Although Killian is missing, AIM will not fall apart directly. Roxxon Energy will not let it collapse like this, and neither will some people in the United States.

So soon, the board of directors held an emergency meeting and appointed Maya Hansen as the new laboratory director.

This is basically the highest level of authority in the technical department, and Maya only needs to be responsible to the board of directors.

However, the operation and management of the company were taken over by a manager from Roxxon. Originally, the technical and administrative management were controlled by Killian, but now they have been directly split.

Maya didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was more interested in technology than management.

However, this aroused dissatisfaction among some people, especially those who were originally on the same side as Killian, who were even more dissatisfied with Roxon's behavior of taking advantage of others.

why?

Because Killian had painted a rosy picture for them, promising to monopolize the Extremis virus and allow their family to enjoy greater power in the world.

Given the miraculous effects of the Extremis virus, immortality no longer seems to be an unattainable dream. Many shareholders were moved by the blueprint for the future described by Killian and were very supportive of him.

It is precisely because they understand the capabilities of the Extremis virus that they insist that Killian is not dead, but was kidnapped by unknown forces. The purpose... is of course for the Extremis virus!

They even suspected that Killian had overcome the defects of the Extremis virus, which was why he was suddenly attacked, and Roxxon Energy became their primary suspect.

At the beginning of the last century, in order to occupy the market and plunder resources, what kind of dirty tricks did these oil guys not do?

Have we become civilized now? This is a joke!

However, Roxon did not tolerate them. He killed the most reckless ones and the remaining shareholders instantly became obedient.

In this way, the cutting-edge technology fell into Roxxon's hands, but Dario Agger was not happy. On the contrary, he was furious.

"Investigation results."

In front of him, a well-dressed subordinate reported: "We didn't find any useful evidence in the base, but after investigating the scene, we can confirm that this was basically done by one person."

"Alone?" Agger frowned, pinching the cigar with his rough fingers, and exhaled smoke from his mouth, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.

..0 0

"Winter Soldier?"

"Stylistically, they're very similar, but the Winter Soldier is probably no match for Killian."

Roxon knew much more about Killian than he imagined. After all, the company had been developing since World War I, and its foundation was far beyond that of a new company like AIM.

Agger did not comment on his subordinates' ideas. Although the Winter Soldier might not be Killian's opponent, he was an assassin, not a warrior, and a head-on confrontation was not necessary to complete the mission.

What's more, the Winter Soldier has Hydra behind him, and they always have some weird technologies that can deal with those super-powered people.

——Just look at how miserable the aliens are living now and you will understand.

Although Hydra had enough reasons to attack AIM's base, Agger always felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, Boss, we also discovered something. Before Killian was attacked, they planned an assassination attempt on Umbrella President Dane Davis, but it failed."

Ager's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Describe the incident in detail."

But the subordinate just shook his head: "We can't find many details about this incident. All we can find out is that Davis faced the assassin alone and successfully counterattacked him on his own."

What Dane encountered was a sudden assassination, and it was impossible for people from other forces to be watching him in advance. Before that, Ager just thought he was an ordinary person.

But now he doesn't think so.

If this matter is really related to him, it proves that Dane Davis has been deliberately hiding his strength all along.

What about Umbrella? What power is hidden?

Chapter 759: Open the door! Foboler!

After returning to New York, half of Killian's body was rushed to the laboratory.

Dane took a shower first, then clicked on today's news and found that it was reporting a shooting incident on a nearby street.

The reporter swore that this was a terrorist attack plan because the murderer used a human bomb, which is a standard equipment of some al-Qaeda organizations.

Regardless of whether they are harmed or not, people who encounter suicide bombers and survive will suffer psychological trauma.

Dane saw clearly that this so-called "terrorist attack" was actually the assassination attempt against him by the desperate warriors in the afternoon.
