Chapter 75 - 74: Productive time
Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Productive time
That night, two conflicts broke out in New York.
Without exception, they all reached S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, their duty is to monitor everything that happens in the United States and eliminate all possible dangers.
[A/N: We all know they don't do their job right]
Nick Fury frowned and looked at the surveillance screen in front of him.
The two huge monitoring screens show two scenes respectively.
"I didn't expect Tony Stark's JARVIS to be so powerful now, and he easily hacked Ivan Vanko's Hammer Drones."
The information on Ivan Vanko is more detailed in the SHIELD database than what Tony discovered.
In Nick Fury's opinion, Ivan would not have followed this path if it weren't for his father's influence.
However, compared to Ivan and Tony's complaints, Nick Fury is more concerned about the situation on that new mutant's side.
Because the development of things exceeded all your expectations.
"The X-Men appeared in front of the people, and Spider-Woman helped them..."
Nick Fury looked at the scene in front of him, and no matter how he looked at it, it was against harmony.
"Director, what are we going to do now?"
"X-Men has caused a high degree of discussion on the Internet. If we don't stop it, mutants will once again be the main topic on the Internet."
The big topic Hill is referring to is the Mutant Registration Act, which had been in effect for some time.
This bill has been dormant for a long time.
If public opinion on the Internet continues like this, Hill is worried that Congress will introduce this bill again.
Not that SHIELD didn't like the bill.
On the contrary, SHIELD is also one of the supporters of this bill.
Hill's concern is that this bill will anger the Brotherhood of Mutants and cause incidents again.
Currently, there is a very delicate situation between the top management of the United States and the mutants.
So what SHIELD wants to do is keep things that way.
Don't have any more problems with either side.
Hill thought about it, and Nick Fury thought the same.
This is precisely why Nick Fury doesn't understand why the X-Men appear before people.
This doesn't sound like something Professor X would do at all.
After thinking for a while, Nick Fury said, "Agent Hill, tell the technical department to block all online public opinion about the X-Men!"
"Also, closely monitor the Xavier Institute's IP to see if they have added oil to public opinion on the Internet."
Nick Fury thought Professor X might be planning something big.
But he has no evidence at the moment, it wouldn't be smart to show up there and accuse without evidence.
Last time, it was because of Magneto's presence that he was able to threaten them without any reason.
Even if Nick Fury had nothing to do, he wouldn't provoke the Mutants.
"Understood, Director!"
Maria Hill left immediately.
Nick Fury was in front of the monitoring station, continuing to monitor the development of two things until Tony easily defeated Ivan.
"As expected of Howard's son."
"Did she upgrade the Brand Armor to this level after obtaining this new element?"
Ten minutes later.
Hill walked towards Nick Fury anxiously: "Director, there are posts and videos about the X-Men."
"We can't erase it!"
"What?"
Nick Fury looked at Hill in disbelief.
Is there anything on the internet that SHIELD can't control?
---------
New York Police Department.
After cooperating with the police, Jean left the New York Police Department.
As soon as he walked out the door, her phone rang.
"Red Queen, what happened?"
[Miss Jean, just now SHIELD wanted to delete X-Men related posts, but I blocked them]
[They are also tracking the Xavier Institute's IP, but don't worry about that, I've already blocked it too]

The Red Queen's tone seemed to ask for credit.
"Thank you, Red Queen."
After thanking Jean, she began using her power and quickly contacted Professor X.
After Professor X heard of SHIELD's action, he was shocked at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt extremely pleased with the decision to let Jean move in.
If it weren't for Jean's "friend"'s help this time, perhaps his plan wouldn't have even started yet.
SHIELD's actions also made him understand that his current plan was correct.
"Are you all ready?"
Professor X looked at some other people in the office, there are students with X-Men, they all have one thing in common.
This is all grown-up stuff.
With a certain ability to surf.
Professor X took a document from his desk and handed it to Storm beside him: "Send it, everyone should have a copy."
"Reply to different posts with different accounts."
"Focus on the various X-Men rescue missions"
Cyclops stared at the information in his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable for a while.
Is this what Professor X meant about the mutants' future missions?
Even though he doesn't understand.
But who cares, at least they won't have to go out and fight and get hurt.
Cyclops discovered that this feeling feels really good.
-------
At the same time.
Jean also returned to Arthur's house.
As soon as he walked through the door, she heard Gwen's voice coming from inside Arthur's room.
Jean smiled and thought, "Gwen just got home and started it."
"We're going to need some help in the future... Sooner or later the two of us won't be able to handle him alone."
To take care of Gwen, Jean joined them after entering the room.

[Host received: Martial Arts Mastery]
In the following half month, Arthur's life was still full of joy and beauty.
When he woke up early in the morning, he received an item called "Martial Arts Master".
"I got Krav Maga a few weeks ago, and now I get martial arts mastery?"
Arthur immediately thought of the role of martial arts master.
[Martial Arts Mastery: Familiar with all martial arts in the world, mastering them like a master.]
"Yes, it's a good thing."
Arthur smiled with satisfaction.
But that's okay, not for Arthur.
With his current strength, this is practically useless to him.
But for Gwen, these things are definitely good.
Although Gwen has had her powers for a long time, she doesn't have much fighting ability.
She relies on her spider-sense and her own flexibility to fight.
The enemies he encounters now have no Skill, and they are definitely easy to deal with. If she encounters more powerful enemies in the future, it will be a bit difficult to deal with them.
And 'Martial Arts Mastery' and Gwen's Skill are a perfect match.
"I'll give this to Gwen later."
Arthur basked in the sun and began to think about how to deliver this thing to Gwen's body.
And Gwen, at this moment, is swinging on her spider web over New York.
During this period, thanks to his efforts, the crime rate in New York plummeted.
Therefore, Gwen also had a lot of free time.
"It looks like I'm about to lose my job."
"If that day comes too."
Gwen definitely expected this in her heart.
But she also understands that, given the national conditions, it is really difficult for New York to be completely safe.
It would be lucky if there were no serious incidents.
"Red Queen, it seems there were no incidents today."
"We can go home after work."
[Yes, Miss Gwen.]
The mechanical sense in the Red Queen's voice completely disappeared, replaced by the sweet voice of a girl.
Just when Gwen wanted to return to Arthur Manor.
Suddenly, he stopped at an outside wall.
"Hey, this is Norman Osborn."
Gwen looked at that place, which happened to be the entrance of Oscorp, and Norman was nodding and bowing to welcome a group of people.
The Red Queen immediately told Gwen these people's details.
"It's interesting that they're all from the military."
This is the first time Gwen sees Norman Osborn's flattering appearance, the Norman she saw before was always indifferent.
Gwen hadn't really liked Norman since the incident with Peter last time.
Even if he was Harry's father.
Although Norman did the right thing in this matter, the contract expired and the results of the experiments were withdrawn, and everything was legal and in order.
But as Peter's friend, Gwen definitely has her own interests.
It was only when Norman entered Oscorp with the military that Gwen left.
--------
Office in the basement.
Norman looked at the generals in front of him in disbelief.
"General, are you kidding?"
"Mr. Osborn, this matter is like this. The incident caused by Hammer Industries last time was too big, plus Captain America's return now."
"Then we will end our secret cooperation with Oscorp."
"Now I hope you can erase all experimental data and materials, and the data provided to you by the military must also be erased."
Norman felt anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent it.
They were the ones who begged him and promised him all sorts of benefits to put all his energy into these experiments, and they are the ones who don't want to do it now.
The people in the military are amazing!
Norman clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to attack.
He didn't have the courage to create a conflict with the military.
"Gentlemen, although Steve Rogers has returned, as far as I know, he has no plans to join the military."
"He is now an ordinary person who lived in the military area, and after so many years trapped in the ice, his physical abilities still exist?"
The older, more senior white-haired general raised his arms: "Without a doubt, Steve Rogers will always be the proudest American soldier."
"And you don't need to worry about your physical fitness. More than one member of the army has seen you running in the morning..."
"No one can reach him."
"He can keep running for a long time without getting tired."
"But..."
Norman wanted to continue fighting for a while longer, but was met with disdainful looks from the military: "Norman, you should know that we are not negotiating terms with you now."
"We came to inform you of our decision."
"There is no need to continue this research."
After finishing speaking, they didn't bother to continue talking nonsense with Norman, they picked up their hats and immediately left Norman's office.
After a long time, Norman slumped back in his chair and laughed helplessly.
After hearing Norman's laughter, the researchers outside thought he had made a discovery.
They were silently happy for Norman.
-------
Norman was alone in his lab, looking at the large table of materials in front of him, as well as the new experimental drugs being researched.
The few rabbits in the constant temperature cabin are very docile this time, eating vegetables.
There was no sign of violence.
Norman smiled helplessly, "Is this how Peter Parker and Curt Connors felt back then?"
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Peter did that.
This is not just about the hard work of two people.
It's a kind of pride.
A pride in not losing to other scientists.
For many years, Norman felt like he was living in Howard's shadow.
No matter how successful he was.
Others still want to compare him to Howard, after the comparison, the conclusions drawn are basically that Norman is not as good as Howard.
That is why Norman, under the spell of the military, resolutely took on this task that many scientists did not dare to accept.
But now this task is only half done, and the military no longer wants to do it.
The reason is that Captain America is back.
And Captain America is linked to Howard again!
Norman felt that he had truly lost, and lost completely.
Norman looked at the serum in front of him, not because he didn't want to continue the research, but because it was the third stage of the research.
What needs to be used are animal experiments.
It is human experimentation, without the secret assistance of the military.
Where can he get live people as samples for human experiments?
"It's all over."
The things on the table are all your painstaking efforts over the years.
Norman was reluctant.
But there was no way.
As Norman picked up the Serum on the table and was about to destroy it, there was a sudden movement in the constant temperature cabin not far away.
"What was that sound?"
Norman immediately went to look.
He saw that the black rabbit, which was originally relatively thin, was now much larger, different from the other rabbits.
Not only that, but his eyes also became extraordinarily bright.
"That's it?"
"My serum worked!"
Norman couldn't believe it.
Originally, he had already given up. The rabbits injected with the new drug did not respond at all.
Unexpectedly, now it worked!
This also means your serum was successful!
Very good.
Although he was very excited, Norman was not arrogant enough to let himself be carried away by joy.
After releasing the sleeping gas into the cabin.
All the rabbits inside fell into a deep sleep.
Norman quickly took the rabbit outside and performed a series of inspections on him.
Norman was very happy with the results.
All indicators of the rabbit's body are very normal, but muscle mass and other invisible improvements are extremely obvious.
Just as Norman was about to dissect it, the rabbit tied to the operating table suddenly opened its eyes.
Fighting the distance on the dissecting table.
Even the rope was forcibly pulled out, sensing the danger, he smiled at Norman intimidatingly.
This scene not only didn't scare Norman, it actually made him even more excited.
The amount of sleeping gas Norman has now administered is enough to render a grown man unconscious for two hours.
As a result, the rabbit recovered in less than 30 minutes.
This proves that their metabolic capacity far exceeded that of most humans.
Norman's eyes hardened, he picked up the scalpel and stabbed the rabbit's head.
Immediately, blood gushed out.
The rabbit died quickly.
"What a hard body!"
Returning to the experimental bench, Norman looked at several vials of the Serum and smiled with satisfaction, "Just give these to the general..."
Hope!
Norman suddenly realized another problem.
He was abandoned by the military, why should he give it to the military? If he uses it himself, couldn't he live forever in hibernation like Steve Rogers?
"Or, Steve Rogers is now immortal..."
