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

SHIELD only found some bodies of mercenaries at the scene, and nothing to prove their identities.

Tony sneered: "Oh? Shouldn't you be the one to tell me the answer to this kind of question?"

Nick choked suddenly. What he said was indeed a bit embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do. Without knowing who the traitor was who was secretly making trouble, there was only so much S.H.I.E.L.D. could know.

"Last night, you fought in Brooklyn. There's very little surveillance there, and for a while, they were bombed by EMP bombs, and later their network was hijacked."

Nick shed tears as he spoke of this. He began to play the victim: "Although I have introduced to you part of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s work, we are not gods. It is impossible for us to do everything well. We will also encounter difficult enemies. This is why I strongly want to invite you to join the Avengers plan."

This time, Nick said sincerely, "We really need you, Tony. Your wisdom can help us make up for many of our shortcomings."

"If you had chosen to cooperate with us earlier, you wouldn't have had to fight alone last night, right?"

This time Tony didn't mock him, but instead lowered his head and began to think.

It was still a bit embarrassing for Tony to be rescued by Dane's men again last night.

He used to be such a proud man, especially after he created the Iron Man suit, he thought he could achieve something with it, but the reality was too heavy a blow.

So far, except for some ordinary terrorists, Mark's suit has not achieved any outstanding results.

Instead, it was the successive appearances of superhumans that made him feel the powerlessness of his iron armor.

When Jessica first appeared, he was shocked. He thought Mark 4 was enough to turn the game around, but who would have thought that an even more powerful girl would appear.

This made Tony wonder, how far has Umbrella's super power experiments progressed?

After two battles, he seemed to have determined that Dane was conducting research on "superpowers" and had achieved remarkable results.

He never thought that these two superhumans were actually picked up by him from outside. I'm afraid Tony would not believe it even if Dane told him the truth.

Dane "picked up" two supernatural powers that ordinary people would hardly see in their lifetime.

Perhaps it is not unacceptable to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, it is the organization that gave birth to Captain America. There should be something that he can appreciate, right?

This is also the reason why Tony came here in a hurry. He was tired of being defeated by the enemy every time.

Umbrella Laboratories.

Dane is conducting a human experiment on Antonia, codenamed Mimic Master.

At this time, the wounds on the girl's face had already formed scars, and the large scars on her face made her look somewhat ugly.

Fortunately, Antonia's brain was damaged and some of her functions were replaced by a chip in her brain. Otherwise, if she saw her own appearance, she might collapse because she could not bear the psychological pressure.

Thinking of this, Dane was somewhat hesitant about this experiment.

He had thoroughly understood the Extremis virus, and the solution to the defect, as he had expected, was hidden in Pepper's genes.

There are many gene fragments in the human body that are not normally expressed, but under special conditions, these redundant gene chains will exhibit special traits.

That's Pepper's genes, and normally, she will remain an ordinary person until she gets old.

But when she encounters the desperate virus, some hidden gene fragments will be activated, expressing new traits.

This gene fragment will prompt the body to synthesize a new biological enzyme, allowing her to withstand high temperatures that ordinary desperate soldiers cannot withstand, and prevent her from losing balance and exploding due to the rapid rise in temperature.

However, it is not entirely true to say that the defects have been completely eliminated. After being transformed by the Extremis virus, it will still have a certain impact on the personality and emotions of the recipient, making the transformed person more irritable.

However, compared with the benefits brought by the desperate virus, this small flaw seems insignificant.

However, during the preliminary tests on Antonia's genes, he found that Antonia's compatibility with the Extremis virus was average, far less than Pepper's.

Through calculation, it is difficult for Antonia to obtain high temperature ability after the injection, but there is a high probability of obtaining super self-healing.

This is actually enough for her.

Chapter 781: It can be bad, but it can’t be absent

Although it is a pity that she cannot obtain the ability of high temperature, the super-fast self-healing ability alone is enough to make Antonia a strong person.

If she is lucky enough, she might even gain self-healing abilities that are no less than those of Wolverine or Deadpool. Plus, she can imitate all the combat skills that humans can use, so her future is still worth looking forward to.

Perhaps she could become a strengthened human who could surpass Deathstroke.

"Sir, the experiment is ready."

"Then let's get started."

Antonia was lying on the bed in a hospital gown, her hair completely shaved, with a mechanical socket exposed at the back of her head.

There is no need for anesthesia injection, and it is difficult for ordinary anesthetics to put Antonia into a coma.

So Dane used his hormones to invade the opponent's brain.

He placed his palms on Antonia's eyelids and whispered, "Sleep well, Antonia."

Hearing this, Antonia really closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. If Dane didn't wake her up, it would be difficult for her to wake up.

"let's start."

"Yes!"

First, they removed the implant in the back of Antonia's head. Her original cerebellum had been permanently damaged in the fire, and she relied entirely on this bionic cerebellum to continue moving.

But now they have to remove it, otherwise it will conflict with its subsequent self-healing ability.

During the dismantling process, the sports chip was also removed. This chip not only carries all the sports skills Antonia has learned, but also stores some short-term memory, which will be useful later.

After removing all artificial devices from her body, they connected her to an external life support device to temporarily maintain Antonia's vital signs.

She originally relied on the chip and bionic cerebellum to survive. Now that they were removed, she can only rely on external life support devices to survive.

After doing all this, five hours had passed. Working on the brain is a very dangerous and complicated task, especially since Antonia's brain has formed a preliminary symbiotic relationship with those artificial devices.

If it takes any longer, Antonia might not even be eligible to be injected with the Extremis virus, and those man-made objects will become a part of her body forever.

"Antibiotics, injection~~."

"Injection completed!"

"Active factor, injection."

"Injection completed."

"Anti-lesion serum, injection."

"Injection completed."

This serum is made from blood extracted from Pepper's body and can help Antonia stabilize the Extremis virus.

"Extremis virus type, injected."

"Injecting...Injection successful!"

The rest depends on Antonia herself. Dane and other experimenters stared at the observation interface, keeping an eye on her various functional indicators.

Fortunately, everything was basically as he expected and did not exceed his expectations.

"Keep up the nutrient solution supply!"

Seven hours after the operation, microscopic observation of tissue cells showed that the desperate virus had begun to multiply in Antonia's body and was growing exponentially.

"Very good, it seems the experiment was successful!"

The experiment hadn't been completed yet, but someone had already set a flag. Dane glanced at the other person.

Sure enough, the next second, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Antonia's vital signs were rapidly declining!

"This...how is this possible?" The person who just spoke was stunned.

"What are you panicking about? Remove the life support system and inject another 500ml of serum!"

"Ah... yes!"

Sure enough, the injection of serum quickly stabilized Antonia's vital signs and prevented her condition from deteriorating further.

At the same time, Antonia's body was rapidly undergoing a transformation.

The wound on the back of her head began to heal visibly, and the scar on her face was repaired under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The vital sign monitoring device showed that her body temperature was slightly elevated. A normal body temperature of 40 degrees is already very dangerous, but her internal environment showed that it was very healthy.

"It's incredible!" a researcher nearby exclaimed.

"This will be the greatest invention of the century, sir." An experimenter on the other side excitedly said, "Human trauma will no longer be irreversible. You have eliminated disability!"

Dane wasn't too excited about this. He reminded, "This thing isn't something that ordinary people can afford. It's very expensive."

"Isn't that a good thing?" someone said nonchalantly.

Dane smiled and said nothing. For these people who were born and raised in America, it seemed natural for high technology to serve the rich.

"Her vital signs have stabilized. Transfer her to the general intensive care unit. Tell the nurse to monitor her various physical indicators at all times."

"Yes!"

Dane walked out of the operating room, still thinking about the conversation.

It's unknown how much Tony Stark is willing to pay for the cavity in his chest. Before Dr. Helen's "Regeneration Cradle" came out, it would be difficult for him to heal that injury.

After all, a big piece of meat is missing.

However, his bigger problem was the densely packed debris hidden in his body. Those were troublesome things that needed to be cleaned out bit by bit, and filling the cavity was a relatively minor matter.

I don't know if Surgeon Shi Legend has finished leveling up yet, maybe I can look for him.

Dane went on to explain that the extreme self-healing ability of the Extremis virus could actually be weakened, and even a disposable medicine could be prepared.

It allows a person to have the ability to completely heal injuries only once, but can quickly recover from broken limbs and non-fatal injuries within 72 hours. After use, the self-healing ability will return to the normal level.

I believe that even so, there will be many people willing to pay for this medicine, including the military and the capitalists who are afraid of death.

That’s enough. If you want to make big money, you can only make money from these people. Ordinary civilians can’t even afford such disposable items.

Well, since it’s Umbrella Corporation, how could it not have some shocking achievements in medicine?

The layout of new energy can be carried out step by step, and he can just follow Stark Industries to reap the benefits, but he cannot give up the position of leader in the pharmaceutical industry.

So Dane took off his surgical gown, washed up, and made sure there was no smell of disinfectant or medical alcohol on his body. He went to the Umbrella Building and found Pepper who was working.

"'Pepper, I have a new product..."

Pepper is smart, but she is not a scientific research talent. She has a headache listening to the large number of professional terms. However, she is keenly aware of the commercial prospects of the desperate virus.

"This thing will sell like hotcakes!" she said with certainty.

And based on Dane's idea, she went a step further and proposed an even weaker version of the weakened version of the Extremis virus.

"If it's any weaker, it won't be able to completely cure the disability. At best, it can only slightly restore the stump, and then the effect of the medicine will be exhausted."

In response, Pepper believes: "Just a little bit is enough for most people."

In this way, they will be able to see the effectiveness of the treatment, and then they will definitely make money like crazy and repurchase their products until they are completely cured.

All in all, the profit is even higher than a one-time cure!

Dane's expression was a little strange. Was Pepper...completely led astray?

However, for ordinary civilians, as long as there is no complete lack of opportunity, there will always be benefits.

It can be bad, but it can't be absent.

Chapter 782: S.H.I.E.L.D. Arrives

A few days later, Umbrella held a new product launch conference, and a groundbreaking new drug was announced to the public on an ordinary day.

That's not the case. After all, the Brooklyn district in New York was attacked by unknown enemies and bombed by missiles a few days ago.

According to subsequent statistics, the number of casualties has reached triple digits, and more civilians have suffered permanent physical disabilities due to the disaster.

"Umbrella has promised to provide free assistance to patients injured in the Brooklyn incident."

Umbrella decided to take advantage of this popularity, after all, this incident has attracted great attention from people across the country.

It turned out that this kind of publicity was indeed very successful.

Under the effect of Umbrella's one-time successful Extremis virus, most patients who were originally sentenced to permanent disability recovered their health. Umbrella's new product proved its effectiveness.

Even this effect is a bit too prominent!

Compared with other drugs, the effect of the desperate virus cannot be said to be amazing, but terrifying!

It almost ignores the basic law of conservation of energy. After taking one dose of the medicine, no matter whether the other party has taken in other substances or not, the damaged part will be quickly repaired within 72 hours.
