It's just that his counterattack was so fast that many passers-by didn't have time to take out their mobile phones to take pictures, which led to the reporters who arrived later to start "free play".
At this stage, no one would think that the self-destructing Extremis Warrior had superpowers. Even if the audience testified otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D. would not allow reporters to reveal the true side of this world.
But soon, everyone will find that the world itself is not normal.
This seemingly normal terrorist attack attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the person who came to investigate was Agent Phil.
He knew at first glance at the scene that this was definitely not a "normal" case.
Putting aside the thief who blew himself up, how did that four-ton Hummer get knocked over by a manhole cover? There's no way in the world that a manhole cover can be used as a cannon barrel, right?
In Phil's impression, it seems that only the Hulk can throw a heavy metal manhole cover as a frisbee like an ordinary athlete.
So he realized at the first moment that this was definitely an "abnormal" level event, and immediately took over the scene on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Then, after a search by professionals, they found some tissue cells of the suicide bomber.
Back at the Triskelion base, Phil reports his findings to Nick.
"According to our scientists' examination, the sampled tissue cells contain a very strange virus that is 70% similar to the virus in the biological sample submitted to us by AIM at the beginning of the millennium."
"AIM?" Nick was a little surprised. "Killian's company?"
"Yes."
Nick thought about it carefully and finally remembered it.
When AIM was first established, it was closely monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. because its research content was sensitive.
In order to show that their research was harmless to the "public interest", they handed over a copy of the original Extremis virus, of course, the version that had not been modified by Tony Stark.
Because the side effects of the virus are too great, it is listed as a "low-value" sample within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick frowned and asked, "Are you sure this virus was extracted from human tissue?"
"The technical department is absolutely certain that this tissue sample contains human genes."
"what do you think."
Phil thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I think AIM may have developed that virus into a catalyst for a human bomb. As long as a normal person is infected with it at a critical moment, it will become an unstable bomb."
Nick's face was expressionless: "Where are the witnesses' statements?"
"They claimed to have seen the suicide bomber's entire body glow and emit extremely high temperatures, even melting steel..."
Phil paused at this point because he remembered the Hummer at the scene. The steel structure of the chassis was indeed melted by a high-temperature substance.
"It seems you noticed."
Nick kept one eye on a photo that showed the chassis of a Hummer.
"If what the witnesses said is true, then AIM may have already solved the flaws in the virus and applied it to humans. Do you know what this means?"
Phil didn't say anything, but his expression became serious.
"This shows that there is a biological weapon that is beyond our control and is in the hands of a group of very dangerous people!" Nick slammed his hand on the table to cover the photo.
"Send our agents to investigate this Killian and his company. I want to know what else he's hiding!"
Phil nodded and said, "So... the person who was attacked?"
If the witness testimony is credible, doesn't that mean there really is someone who can lift a manhole cover with one hand and overturn a four-ton Hummer?
Is this another Hulk?
"There are no videos or photos, and because the incident happened so quickly, no one even saw the man's specific appearance at the time."
There is no Skynet surveillance system in the United States, so many public places lack surveillance cameras.
But even if there is, Cortana can directly erase or modify the surveillance content.
Phil recalled the witness's testimony and continued, "According to the witness's testimony, the man was about six feet three inches tall, wearing a suit, and moving very fast, probably over 40 meters per second!"
You should know that the cheetah's speed is only 32 meters per second, which is about 115 kilometers per hour, and its maximum speed is only 120 kilometers per hour, but it cannot last long.
But the person described by the witnesses was even faster than a cheetah, and he was even speeding on the highway!
Moreover, the opponent is quite large in size. Judging from the fact that he can lift a metal manhole cover and overturn a Hummer, he is obviously a power player, so his weight must not be light.
Even with this speed, isn't this guy even more powerful than Captain America, who can reach his full potential? Is this a brown bear transformed into a spirit?
"Since Killian's target is him, then as long as we find Killian, we can find out his identity. However..." He thought about it and decided to make preparations for both scenarios.
"Have Natasha investigate which special individuals passed through that section of road during that time. Killian wouldn't send someone to assassinate an ordinary person."
Although it is a bit of a waste of Natasha's talent to do this kind of thing, if something is discovered, other agents may not be able to solve it.
This is also a test for Natasha. Nick has decided to raise her level by another level. Once the upgrade is completed, Natasha will become an eighth-level agent on the same level as Phil.
Phil received his mission and left. He needed to find Killian and bring him back to S.H.I.E.L.D. if possible.
On the other side, Natasha took on another task.
She secretly complained, "This kind of unskilled task should be assigned to an ordinary clerk, or even a police officer."
But she still accepted the mission. Agents have no right to complain.
But Natasha is not a fool. She does not plan to investigate one by one by herself, as that would be too inefficient.
So she decisively called her boss for help.
"Boss! Help me!"
"..."
"what's up?"
Natasha felt a sudden sense of relief at Dane's calm words. It was a strange feeling, but one she didn't dislike.
She briefly told Dane the content of the mission. In fact, she originally wanted Kingpin's men to help her investigate. After all, the place was very close to Hell's Kitchen, and the gang's power might come in handy.
But Dane gave her a surprise.
0.8 "If that's the case, you don't need to look for Kingpin. I did it."
Natasha clenched her phone tightly in an instant, and veins even popped out on the back of her hand.
This kind of thing...can I talk about it directly on the phone?
As if he had heard her thoughts, Dane explained, "Don't worry, the communication between us has been taken over by Cortana."
Natasha was scratching her head. "Boss, how am I supposed to respond to Nick?"
She can't just tell the truth!
"You can take the other one. There were more than one person who came to snipe me that day, and I only killed one of them."
"What about the other one?" Natasha asked quickly. It seemed like it would be a good idea to catch the other one.
"I've already tracked down his whereabouts, but this person knows my identity, so I have to deal with him before handing it over to you."
After hanging up the phone, Dane put the phone in his pocket and kicked open the door in front!
"FBI!".
Chapter 760 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Kicking the door and shouting the name of the FBI was not to alert the people inside, but to alert the surrounding neighbors to prevent them from hearing the noise and calling the police. This trick was actually quite effective.
Most people are not so enthusiastic to help others, they are only worried about their own safety being endangered. This sentence is equivalent to suggesting to others that it is better to mind one's own business.
The man inside was immediately alert, but he was too slow to react. When he reached for his gun, Dane appeared in front of him as fast as a flash and kicked his wrist as he was reaching for the gun.
With a "crack", the opponent's wrist was broken directly, leaving only a piece of flesh connecting the arm hanging down.
But the next moment, a warm red light appeared on the wrist of the severed hand.
Sure enough, this guy is also a desperate warrior!
He was the gunman who was hiding on a building right in front of Dane and sniping him. Dane took advantage of the fact that the body temperature of the desperate warriors was higher than that of ordinary people and used satellite thermal imaging to locate him. It took him some time to find this guy.
Normal human body temperature generally does not exceed 37 degrees Celsius, but desperate warriors generally have a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius.
As long as he finds a humanoid creature with a body temperature above 40 degrees Celsius and is still alive and kicking, he basically has no way to escape.
Dane grabbed the man's head with one hand and his wrist with the other, then exerted force and smashed his head to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opponent's dizziness, he took out a syringe and stabbed it into the desperate warrior's neck.
This is a "coolant" specially made by Dane after a rough study of the Extremis virus. It can quickly suppress the effects of the Extremis virus, but only temporarily.
But the advantage is that it works quickly. The desperate warrior's body temperature, which was originally rising, suddenly drops sharply and returns to the level of a normal person within a few seconds.
As the body temperature drops, the other person's physical fitness also quickly degenerates to the level of a normal person.
The whole process, from kicking the door in to completely subduing him, took less than two seconds. The desperate warrior was controlled by Dane before he could even scream.
When he was at the base before, Dane discovered that when the desperate warriors were in a high temperature state, the effect of hormones on them would be weakened.
So when facing Killian, he couldn't make him kneel down with just his opening words. In the high temperature of one thousand degrees, hormones were useless and were not as effective as guns.
But if the power of the desperate virus can be suppressed, then his ability will be useful again.
"your name."
"Joseph Guillermo," the desperate warrior replied with a dull look in his eyes.
"Belong."
"AIM Special Operations Team."
"Who asked you to assassinate me?" Dane asked step by step.
"Aldredge Killian."
"reason."
"I...I don't know?" Joseph's face was a little confused. He was just an executioner!
Dane thought for a moment and decided to ask a different question: "Who did Killian meet with before he decided to send you to assassinate me?"
“I don’t know the man’s name, but he came in on a private jet from Roxxon Energy.”
Dane immediately connected everything in his mind: "Roxxon Energy? I see."
Some time ago, Roxxon Energy sent someone to find him, hoping to discuss issues related to Stark's "new energy plan".
However, at that time he met with Tony Stark first and made an alliance agreement, so it was naturally impossible for him to hook up with Roxxon again.
Mr. Dai does business based on the word "trust"!
Besides, he was planning to dismember Roxxon Energy and then take advantage of the situation to rob it, so it was even more impossible for him to stand on Roxxon's side.
So that day he directly asked Pepper to reject Roxon's invitation. It seemed that after being a "tyrant" for too long, Dario Agger could no longer tolerate other people's slightest disrespect towards him.
Dane immediately made a call.
"Asshole! Do you know what time it is now?" An irritable female voice came from the other end.
Dane automatically blocked out all the radical words and asked, as if he was unaware, "Where have you gone so far?"
"You called me so late just to ask that?"
"Yes."
“…” Yelena was thinking of even dirtier words.
"Roxxon sent someone to assassinate me. Did you find anything?"
Yelena's expression changed immediately, and she became serious: "You know, I just joined the company not long ago, it's impossible for me to have access to this kind of information."
"Has any important person left the Roxxon headquarters recently?"
Although Roxxon is an American company, its headquarters is located in Greece. It is said that Dario Agger was originally Greek, which is an important reason why he was able to obtain the Minotaur ability.
Yelena thought for a moment and said, "Dario Agger went on a business trip the day before yesterday. Although I don't know where he went, he probably didn't leave Europe because he came back very quickly."
So it was him... Dane hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
Unlike other old money families, Dario Agger still looks young and strong because he ages very slowly, so he plays the role of his fourth-generation grandson and is called "Dario IV".
Every once in a while he would announce his "abdication" and then voluntarily give his position to the next generation of "heirs", but in fact, it was all him.
So, as a self-made "first-generation rich man", Dalio has actually been active in the forefront of the business world for decades.
The Rockefeller family once suspected this and tried to use it to attack Roxxon Energy many times in the last century, but in the end nothing came of it.
