People didn't have to wait too long. Soon, Jarvis received a video file from the outside world.
When the video started playing, the room went from quiet to noisy.
"What does he want to do? Destroy the world?" Natasha asked.
"Maybe we're preparing for a real-life biochemical crisis." Barton stared at the screen and joked in a serious manner.
"How horrible!" Potts felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the humans who were almost indistinguishable from the zombies in the movies.
"Sir, are you sure this video is real?" Coulson asked with a sigh.
He really didn't want to believe that what was shown in this video was true.
"As long as that fat guy Kingpin isn't crazy, he won't use a fake video to deceive me." Nick replied with a dark face.
After watching the video, he realized that things were worse than he had imagined.
"Jarvis, check the video to see if there are any signs of modification."
Tony listened to what the others said and gave orders with a sullen face.
A few seconds later, Jarvis replied: "Sir, there is no sign of modification in the video."
Jarvis' answer made everyone completely give up.
After a few seconds of silence, Nick's expression changed and he gave the order: "Coulson, take your men to the place in the video for inspection. The equipment should be directly transferred from the branch."
"Also, send all our extra manpower out to look for the possible source of the plague in the city, but don't tell them the truth. You can make up your own reasons."
"Yes, Commander Fury, but we may not have enough manpower." Coulson accepted the order but also raised his concerns.
New York is too big. If you want to find some hidden devices in such a big place, even if you have a certain direction, a dozen people are still too few.
"As for manpower, I will notify Hill to dispatch more personnel later. There are also extra police officers, so I will talk to their chief when the time comes."
"Stark, I need your help in searching for the plague."
Nick turned to look at Tony. In terms of artificial intelligence and big data analysis, SHIELD could not catch up with Stark Group.
"No problem. Jarvis will use calculations to analyze where that guy might have placed the plague."
Tony agreed without hesitation, looked at Nick, and said, "Aren't you going to report this to the Ministry of Defense?"
"I will, but not now."
Nick glanced at Tony and paused.
The more people know, the more trouble there will be.
He didn't want to have to deal with those officials who only cared about putting money into their own pockets and didn't care whether he could handle it or not while he was racking his brains to solve the problem.
"Although there is video evidence now, we are still not sure whether the target really created the plague or whether the people in the video were created by his 'magic'..."
"Um, sir, I think there is a real possibility of a plague." Patton raised his hand.
"Reason?" Nick frowned.
"There is one thing we didn't mention before. The target went to Yosel's home some time ago and left him a bottle of potion that he said could heal his injuries. We have sent that potion for testing. Although we haven't received the test results yet, the possibility that it is fake is very low."
Barton said, and Coulson echoed, "That's the case."
They didn't mention it before because it had nothing to do with the main event. They were going to write about it in a later written report, but now it seems that it's not that simple.
"You mean he deliberately left the potion for us to find, and indirectly prove that he really has the ability to create a plague?"
Natasha, who was listening quietly on the side, asked.
"Obviously, yes."
Coulson glanced at Barton and nodded.
"It seems that everything he did was calculated in advance, but what is the purpose? Just for those materials?" Natasha frowned.
From the target's series of actions, we can tell that he is a very smart guy.
In this case, if it is really just for those things, there are many ways to do it, so there is no need to go for the most dangerous one.
"It's probably for the materials." Nick paused, looked at the people who were looking at him and said, "Of course, maybe he also wanted to detonate Jin in advance and hold the leverage over him."
"What do you know?"
Tony asked, seeing how sure Nick was.
"Yes, Jin Bing told me some of his speculations. He believed that the target needed to rely on those resources to make something. I think so too."
"So, in order to prevent him from causing more harm, we cannot let the target get those resources!"
Nick said seriously and Tony's expression turned serious.
"But Pepper was cursed by him!"
He would never allow the people from SHIELD to give up Potts.
“So we need to come up with a comprehensive plan.”
Nick said seriously.
…
Broadway Avenue, inside the cafe.
Colin, who was sitting in front of the window, put down the cup in his hand and looked out the window.
New York is known as the city that never sleeps, and that's especially true here.
Even though it was almost ten o'clock at night, there was no sign of a decrease in the number of pedestrians on the street.
"It seems not today."
Closing the book in his hand, Colin sighed slightly.
There must be a reason why he chose to teleport here after leaving Stark's house.
As far as I can remember, Hulk, or Bruce Banner, should have had a street fight with another military experiment, the Abomination, in this vicinity during this time.
Of course, they can fight as much as they want, his target is only the blood of the Hulk created by the doctor who worked with Banner.
In previous movies, the power of Hulk's blood was shown to be very strong.
He also hopes to use this to create some powerful zombies that he can control to enhance the power he holds.
Of course, movies are bound to contain exaggerations or coincidences, and everything may not be as he imagined.
But, this doesn't require him to waste too much time, and there's no big danger, right
If such an easy price could bring back a zombie with even one-third, no, even one-tenth of the Hulk's power, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
He shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about those things that were still uncertain.
After asking the waiter at the cafe to pay the bill, I blended into the crowd outside.
If nothing unexpected happens, all my information should be on the table of that black-braised egg guy now, but I don’t know how he plans to deal with me.
However, he didn't take it too seriously.
All that needs to be done has been done, and the rest is just a matter of adapting to circumstances.
What is giving him a headache now is where to rest when he can't go home.
Whenever he thought about the scene when SHIELD was searching for Loki in the Avengers, he felt a headache.
