Chapter 128

In the laboratory of Stark Tower, Dr. Connors was leading a group of researchers to work overtime. Soon his phone rang. Dr. Connors answered the phone and said: "Hello, I am very busy now, what's the matter, talk later..."

"I am Nick, how is the serum research going?"

"The research samples are not enough. You must give me at least three more vampires. I am researching serum. You can't just let me conjure it out of thin air without even blood samples, right?"

"I will contact the battlefield commander." Nick's voice sounded very calm. He said: "How much certainty do you have to crack the vampire's self-healing ability?"

"Love Reading Book Fragrance"

Dr. Connors was organizing research data while saying to the other end of the phone: "It's not certain now, but it is more likely that even if this effect takes effect, it won't be permanent."

"This is a brand-new field. I have never been in contact with this kind of monster before. There is a mysterious factor in their blood. I haven't been able to crack it completely yet. I can only tell you that the kind of effect you imagine is probably unlikely to appear."

"But we must crack their self-healing ability, otherwise this battle is almost impossible to fight."

"The batch of vampires that first controlled the streets of Brooklyn and Queens had more than 300 people. We seriously injured half of them, but it didn't take long for them to recover to more than 200 people. And our armed police were reduced from more than 300 to 60. Most of them were only slightly injured, but they couldn't continue to fight and could only withdraw to wait for replenishment."

"This kind of attrition gap, the longer it drags on, the more impossible it is to fight."

Connors spoke very fast. He explained to Nick: "They are a product of magic. You should know better than me. I may not be able to completely crack a certain ability of theirs by using scientific means. As for making their self-healing ability disappear completely, I can only tell you that this cannot be done."

"But I actually have a better idea. If successful, it might not only crack one of their abilities, but even make them lose their combat ability directly."

"Then what are you waiting for? What do you lack? Research samples, right? I will contact Spider-Man immediately and let him catch a few alive and send them to you."

After a while, Dr. Connors heard a loud noise on the window. Spider-Man hit the glass of Stark Tower, and then he used a spider silk to stick to the window next to him to avoid sliding down.

He dragged a big black net with two or three bats still struggling inside. He opened the window very hard, and then dragged the dragnet in. Dr. Connors stood in front of him with his arms crossed and said: "Can't you knock them out before sending them in?"

"Sorry, Doctor, because I don't know if you want them completely alive. You know, if I punch them, their heads might not be usable."

Connors felt that what he said made sense, and then he said: "Are you thinking about running to the battlefield again? I tell you, no way! Stay here and accompany me to finish the first phase of research before you can go."

"But we still have a big plan to do, we plan to..."

"Listen, I don't care what you plan to do. I only know that in terms of the current war situation, it makes little difference whether you are there or not. But if you stay in the laboratory, we are very likely to solve this problem from the root."

"But..." Peter was a bit dejected. He knew Dr. Connors was right.

The plan to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge no longer needed him. Just now, Stark had entered the field. He could command unmanned mechas to launch suicide attacks directly. The war had progressed to this stage, and the power that individual soldiers could exert was no longer great.

The fighter group entered the field, and the special combat troops also began to act. Currently, the entire battlefield had entered the edge of strategic counterattack. Next, it was group fighting, commonly known as bombing each other.

Spider-Man might be able to rely on his superhuman physical fitness to get some fries on the battlefield, but the effect that individual heroes could exert in front of such a large battle had been reduced to the lowest. Except for Iron Man mechas, explosives, and Quake's group attacks, the rest of the superheroes and agents basically withdrew and arrived at the edge of the battlefield to start rescue work.

Reason told Peter that it was indeed more needed in the laboratory now.

If it were in the past, Spider-Man would definitely be itching to be a hero in such a big scene. Even if he stayed in some place, he would definitely be like a thorn growing on his butt.

But this time, Peter calmed down very quickly. He didn't hesitate much and took off his mask, then planned to change his clothes and enter the laboratory.

Connors was a bit surprised. He had already planned to take out the patience of coaxing children, preparing to coax Peter first. He also knew that among boys of this age, few could resist the temptation of being a hero in a large-scale war.

After all, a hero behind the scenes, no matter how much of a hero he is, is still behind the scenes. No one would not want to attract a little more attention. Connors had long known what kind of personality Peter was. Perhaps the other identity had been suppressed for too long in daily life, and Peter, as Spider-Man, really loved to show off.

As a result, Peter changed his clothes and walked in and said directly: "Where do we start now? Is there any preliminary data I can look at?"

Connors handed a part of the data to him. Who knew that Peter really found a place to sit down and started reading seriously.

Connors looked at his back. Although Peter's figure was much stronger than before, he was still just a teenager, which was very inconsistent with his very calm state now. Connors said: "Now that I think about it, you are only 16 years old. Perhaps our requirements for you are a bit high."

"I remember when I was 16, I was still skipping school every day, going out to hang out with a group of people. At that time, as long as I left school, I felt everything was fun. Even the telephone poles on the big road looked better than those in school."

Peter looked up in surprise and said: "I thought you were a good student."

Dr. Connors shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, I only started studying in college. I was just messing around in high school."

Then he said with great emotion: "When I was admitted to Harvard Medical School, I was still a bit dissatisfied. If I hadn't been admitted, I could have gone abroad to study at the Buddha Medical School, which would have been good too. So I stayed."

Peter swallowed his saliva, immediately lowered his head, and started burying his head in hard study.

This research plan was actually entrusted to Stark by Nick. Nick, of course, knew how rare this opportunity was. It was difficult for congressmen to loosen their mouths and approve the use of large-scale heavy firepower for this vampire invasion of New York event, so they must make a quick decision and solve the vampire problem from the root.

Once it drags on for too long, it gives those moderate factions room to mediate, which is something the S. H. I. E. L. D. director very much does not want to see.

Governing the vampire problem has always fallen on S. H. I. E. L. D., but dealing with these things is simply thankless. If it weren't for Nick having a bit of conscience, if someone else came, they might not even care at all.

These things are very troublesome. They have two forms and know magic, and their self-healing ability is extremely strong. As long as it is not a complete headshot or piercing the heart, they will recover quickly, and even senior agents may be in danger if they face them.

But S. H. I. E. L. D. is in its duty, and they have to deal with this kind of creature. Nick hates this kind of bill that has large investment, small return, and cannot be reimbursed, so of course he wants to take this opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

He also knows very clearly that machine guns and cannons cannot completely eliminate these creatures. He hopes to start from a biological perspective and let the genius Stark manufacture a biological weapon for him. It would be best to turn vampires into humans. If not, then abolish their special abilities.

Thus, the genius Stark directly transferred this topic to Connors, and Iron Man had other things to do.

From the day Stark was inspired by Schiller and had a sudden whim, he had been full of inspiration and messing around in the laboratory, making Coulson and Hill feel terrified, fearing that if they were not careful, Stark would create a steel torrent or a machine intelligence crisis.

And even more terrified than them were those congressmen who had seen Stark's speech video.

The video Hill shot was quite good. She didn't shoot Schiller's reminder to Stark at all, but started recording directly from the climax of Stark's speech.

In the entire video, Stark was like a crazy genius scientist, describing his dangerous ideas that could destroy the world at any time with passion.

Once Stark talks about problems in his professional field, he will appear crazy and neurotic. This is a common problem of geniuses.

He expounded on his crazy ideas endlessly, muttering a long string of professional terms that normal people couldn't understand, and occasionally popping out words like machine dominating the world, inorganic bodies defeating everything, carbon-based organisms are all scum, etc.

Just looking at this video, congressmen would of course be scared to death, because they knew very well in their hearts that Stark could absolutely do these things.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the various predicaments Stark is facing now are mostly because he set a bottom line for himself and is unwilling to use some unconventional means to deal with his opponents. Otherwise, let alone the military, even if all forces on Capitol Hill were tied together, they couldn't stop Stark's mecha army.

They actually have no way to completely resist Stark. Everything depends on Stark's own moral bottom line. The military and congressmen didn't think about what to do if Stark went crazy one day? But the answer is, there is no way, they can only pray he doesn't go crazy.

They all know that even if Stark Group goes bankrupt and Stark wanders the streets, if you give Stark a garbage dump, he can still return you a Gundam group army in a few days. The situation in Afghanistan was so bad, didn't Stark eventually run out?

Therefore, they almost lifted all restrictions on S. H. I. E. L. D., opened the authority to Nick, and demanded that he immediately solve this vampire invasion event by any means necessary, and don't give Stark any excuse to make trouble.

In their view, this speech by Stark is not just aimed at the vampire problem.

These politicians like to fill in the blanks themselves. In their view, it is because the military suppressed Stark too hard some time ago, so Stark would warn them like this, to tell them that he has the power to destroy this world.

And the congressmen chose to face the vampire problem squarely and eliminate this group of creatures by any means necessary, which is also a statement to Stark: as long as you are willing to maintain the moral bottom line in your heart, we can also help you maintain this bottom line. You don't have to use abilities outside the bottom line at all, so everyone can live well.

Of course, Stark is too lazy to think about these twists and turns. He is now on the battlefield, commanding his group of mechas to kill.
