Marvel's Dark Knight

Chapter 171 Return to the city (please subscribe)

Waiting is often the most anxious time.

They were waiting for Bruce to get the energy signal about the purple figure or the astral phagocytosis.

Monica couldn't sit down anymore, she was walking around in the entire command room.

She looked at Bruce, but all she saw was the peaceful figure sitting there.

Monica didn't know how Bruce could do it and still be able to sit on the mountain at this juncture. You must know that this information now is likely to be related to the life and death of the earth.

The other superheroes are no better than Monica. They are also very anxious, but everyone knows that any action taken before the energy signal comes back is useless.

If you have to say who is very similar to Bruce's current situation, it would be Reed.

Compared to Bruce's calmness, Reed is more like the opposite of Bruce, who is a bit wild.

He even put his feet up on the conference room table.

After Rick Jones left here, the stone man had already let go and grabbed Reed's hand by the collar.

"When will the information be sent?" Monica couldn't bear this situation anymore. She came directly to Bruce's side, patted the table and looked at Bruce.

"Ding~"

"Here it comes." Bruce didn't pay attention to Monica's excited behavior. He just stood up and displayed the purple figure photographed by Rick Jones and those special energy signals through SHIELD's computer. .

"This"

"Simply amazing."

"Does it really exist?"

The superheroes in the conference room couldn't help but feel powerless after seeing the purple figure displayed on the screen.

It can be said that Rick Jones was extremely close to the purple figure at that time, but it was also because of this action that everyone had a general understanding of the size of the purple figure.

Rick Jones's body wasn't even as big as the figure's knuckles.

Bruce even called up the full picture of the purple figure roughly taken by Rick Jones's watch after he was knocked away by the figure.

Not only was it huge in size, there were also dense swarms of astral-eating insects floating around the figure.

"There is also a video." Bruce spoke again at this time.

Everyone was staring closely at the big screen, wanting to see if they could see any clues in the video.

What everyone was watching was entirely from the first-person perspective of Rick Jones. After he passed through the golden portal, he had already arrived at Captain Marvel's side.

He did not greet Captain Marvel and the others immediately, because at that time Captain Marvel was already in a hard battle and could die at any time.

Rick Jones rushed towards the purple figure immediately and launched an attack.

The majestic energy attack hit the outside of the purple figure's helmet, but it did not cause any damage, and did not even leave any dents on the armor.

The next second the purple figure reached out and slapped Rick Jones away.

The perspective of the video also rotates violently.

But what can be seen is the purple figure directing the Astral Devourer Zerg to attack.

The video ends here.

When the video finished playing, the superheroes in the command room became somewhat silent.

Rick Jones is indeed not a relatively qualified superhero, but the energy he bursts out can be said to be at a level that 90.00% of the heroes here cannot reach.

Faced with such an enemy that can't even break their defense, what should they do?
But there are also people who are thinking about the connection between the purple figure and the Astral Eater Zerg.

"They seem..." Hawkeye couldn't find an accurate word to describe the connection between the purple figure and the star-eating mass group.

"They merged."

Vision can actually understand what is happening now.

Astrophage was obviously protecting the purple figure consciously, and at the same time, the purple figure was also directing Astrophage to attack the surrounding areas.

If they weren't fused together, Vision wouldn't be able to explain clearly that the Astral Devouring Zerg would obey the orders of that figure.

It is not that no civilization has ever tried to capture the Astral Eater Zerg.

They tried to transform these bugs, trying to turn them into the most powerful magical weapons in their hands, but the problem was that all those civilizations failed without exception.

The price of failure was that their civilization was eaten away by those insects.

Bruce was also listening to their conversation at the moment, but he still remembered what Reed said at that time.

"Now the energy signal is there."

"Then we can find his original universe." Reed stood up, stretched, and said to Bruce quite solemnly.

"what do you need?"

"I need to return to the city."

Reed said this with a smile, his eyes fixed on Bruce.

"No, he can't return to the city."

Sure enough, just as Reed thought, Monica expressed her objection immediately.

"Look, even if you release me, they won't believe me." Before Bruce released Reed, he had already used some small means to get in touch with the guy in prison.

Reed had already explained at that time that neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor Ultimate Team could easily release him or even allow him to come into contact with the city.

"Do you know what you are doing? Let him return to the city!"

Monica can no longer understand this bat. This bat has indeed been doing some relatively correct things, but this time Monica feels that this bat has failed.

He should not release Reed, nor should he think of letting Reed analyze this energy information.

"I will give you the energy information, can you find the original universe?" Bruce just asked coldly.

This sentence has blocked all Monica's words.

"Or do you think a stable environment is more important than human life and death?"

When Bruce said this, his indifferent tone really made Monica unable to bear it. She immediately wanted to punch Bruce, but was stopped.

"I will go with them." Stark appeared beside them and stopped Monica's fist.

He had noticed before that something was wrong with the current atmosphere, and he had been slowly moving into something unexpected. He had no time to stop it.Sure enough, just as he thought, there was indeed a problem, but it was not the problem with the bat, but with the commander of SHIELD.

He can understand how this situation arises. Under such a high-pressure situation, there is such a person who has always maintained a tone that can be said to be extremely cold. No one can suppress him. anger.

Not to mention Bruce released Reed.

This challenged Monica's fragile nerves even more.

Bruce didn't care about this and just turned around and walked out of the command room. Reed glanced at Susan sitting there without saying anything and followed Bruce.

"I will keep an eye on them." Stark patted Monica on the shoulder, turned around and walked outside the command room, and patted Thor's arm before leaving.

Thor seemed to understand something and nodded solemnly to Stark.

"Sure enough, the air outside is sweeter than in the prison." Reed, who had just walked out of the command room, took a deep breath of air and said this quite relaxedly.

Stark, who was following behind, took up the conversation at this time: "Yes, when I received your Alpha One, the first thing I did was to replace the air circulation system. "

"Then I can only say that your air circulation is pretty good." Reed said something that surprised Stark at this time.

According to Stark's original idea, shouldn't Reed attack his own technology at this time?
Why did you start praising yourself?
This style of painting doesn’t seem right.

"I'm not comfortable with your attitude. How about you change it again?"

"I quite like my attitude. I don't think I need to change it."

The two people didn't know what the reason was. It seemed that they had nothing to talk about other than fighting each other.

Even to Bruce's ears, it seemed as if the two guys behind him triggered some inexplicable switch when they came together.

The chatter seemed to be two chatty chatterboxes.

The last time I felt like this was when those spiders were having a meeting.

Ignoring the two guys behind him, Bruce had already led them to his bat wing.

Bruce directly opened the Batwing's cockpit and sat in. Reed stretched his body directly and landed on another seat next to Bruce.

The two people said nothing to Stark at all, and they didn't even say to Stark, "Sorry, there are only two seats on the plane."

"I think you should at least tell me."

Stark looked at Bruce sitting inside with a stiff expression.

Bruce glanced at him, then activated his bat wings and disappeared directly in front of Stark.

"Well, I know that geniuses are always lonely." Stark spread his hands helplessly, and the mask that he had originally taken off was put back on.

In an instant, he had caught up with Bruce's Batwing. Of course, Bruce did not use the full thrust of the Batwing, otherwise it would be difficult for even Stark to catch up.

For them, this kind of thing can be ignored, and it took almost no time to reach the place occupied by the city.

"To be honest, this is not the first time I have seen the city, but I am still a little amazed when I see this kind of thing. It is indeed full of the charm of technology." When Stark landed, he looked at the city in front of him and admired it.

"Because you want to see who its creator is." Reed landed next to Stark and said without any sign of weakness.

But when Reed appeared here, the city instantly sounded a piercing alarm.

Many Children of Tomorrow rushed out of the city, watching Reed warily as he returned.

"But it doesn't seem like you are very popular here." Stark was indeed happy when he saw this scene. As the founder of the city, Reed himself was listed as a subject of high vigilance by the city, which was not a big deal. Interesting things.

Reed didn't say anything. He knew that this was a normal reaction. Since the city's self-awareness awakened, this kind of thing was inevitable.

Otherwise, the city at that time would not have chosen to hand over Reed to quell the war between the city and the United States.

Bruce showed up at this time.

The Children of Tomorrow had already put away their weapons and their hostility as soon as they saw Bruce.

This is a very strange thing for Reed and Stark. If they remember correctly, Bruce has not come to the city a few times.

"Let's go."

Bruce took a few steps forward, but found that the two people behind him did not follow him, so he turned to them and said something.

Although they couldn't figure out what was going on, they could only follow Bruce.

"Bat." A man of tomorrow stopped in front of Bruce.
Bruce looked at the son of tomorrow and said nothing.

"I'm not stopping you. I know what's going on with you and the city, but I hope you can take good care of that guy and stop letting him bring disaster to the city."

The Man of Tomorrow spoke to Bruce extremely solemnly, and the person he was referring to was Reed Richards.

Bruce didn't say anything and just continued to walk forward, and the Son of Tomorrow also retreated to his position, leaving the group of three people in.

"It seems that you have quite a deep relationship with them." Reed said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

As the former creator, I am so unpopular here, but this bat, who has never been to the city a few times, can actually make them feel so relieved.

Stark couldn't believe this scene either.

After taking over Reed from the city, they have been closely monitoring the city.

Anyone who comes into contact with the city easily will be investigated by SHIELD.

But in SHIELD's records, there is no record that Bruce came here.

But the current attitude of the city towards Bruce can already explain a lot of things. There is definitely an ulterior secret between the city and Bruce.

"I said you won't have any backdoors planted in the city, right?" Reed asked casually, but his eyes were always fixed on Bruce, wanting to see if this man would show anything.

But the problem is that Bruce just stayed silent and kept walking forward.

"That's right. If you could leave a backdoor in the city's program, I guess the city would have turned into a different situation." Reed said these words as if to comfort himself.

But there was still no reaction from Bruce.

Until they arrived in front of the city.

"Contact me. The equipment you should prepare is already ready." The urban mechanical voice was quite calm.

There was no overreaction to Reed's presence here.

"Ok."
