Chapter 789 Umbrella's Power

Whoosh~ whoosh~
One after another, silver-white humanoid robots rushed towards the sky.

Because of the previous helicopter crash and explosion, passers-by on the street were already in a panic.

Although shootings and the like are common, this kind of explosion still caused passers-by to frantically dodge.

The humanoid robots rushing out from behind also caused them to scream.

The panicked crowds and cars crashing into shops made the streets look very chaotic.

However, in this chaotic crowd, there were several people who were going against the current.

It was the SHIELD team led by Nick Fury.

"When did Umbrella have this ability?"

The scene in front of him made Nick Fury, who had just arrived in front of him, look solemn.

Recently, Umbrella has always been SHIELD's most troublesome enemy.

Nick Fury thought he had a relatively good understanding of Umbrella's capabilities, including its top private special forces and top-notch biological and chemical troops.

Tyrants, Lickers, and Chasers can all be manipulated manually, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

It’s okay here in Da Piaoliang, but they have caused tragedies in many places in Africa, South America, and the Middle East!

However, these reports were suppressed for fear of causing panic.

If they were not afraid of being exposed and rarely used openly in public, Nick Fury would be afraid that he would not be able to handle it.

But now this sudden appearance of a large mechanical army made Nick Fury feel a tremendous pressure.

"Although they interrupted the live broadcast, the previous footage is enough. I will apply for authorization immediately! We must help them delay time!"

Although this sudden appearance of the silver robot army is very tricky, Nick Fury is quite excited at this time. He finally caught your tail!

We must not let it go this time!

He then contacted his old partner, Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was quite powerful in the United States and even in the global political circles.

"My goodness, Umbrella has finally revealed its weakness..."

"Oh? You've revealed your flaw. I see. I'll make arrangements. Just go ahead and do it..."

Alexander Pierce made a promise to Nick Fury with a serious expression.

But after hanging up the internal communication, his face looked a little ugly.

At this moment, in front of him was the scene of the live broadcast that had been interrupted before, which was Umbrella's biochemical laboratory!

"They really have exposed their flaws... what a bunch of idiots! The spy was planted so obviously, yet they didn't even notice it."

Alexander Pierce, as the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and also one of the leaders of Hydra, promoted Nick Fury because he valued his abilities.

And Nick Fury did not disappoint him. He straightened out S.H.I.E.L.D., which became the cradle of fresh blood for Hydra and also solved many of his troubles.

At the same time, because of the achievements of SHIELD, he gained more political capital and had more time to do a lot of things.

But now that things have gotten back on track, Nick Fury has started to get in the way again...

"Red Queen..."

Alexander Pierce closed his eyes and muttered, and the screen in front of him switched to show the image of a cold little girl.

"I'm here."

"This has already been broadcast live. All traces of the laboratory have been cleared. Also, let that stupid bear take the blame."

"Ivan Vanko has excellent design capabilities. Those inferior armors are not expensive and are more suitable for my control. Besides, I haven't obtained his Ark Reactor technology yet."

Red Queen said this very calmly.

"I know, but we already have the manufacturing technology for those armors, don't we? This is a big deal, and we need someone who is capable enough and has enough reasons to take the blame."

"I see."

The image of the Red Queen disappeared from the screen expressionlessly...

……

On the other side, Tao Yu and Tony, after breaking the outer wall of the Umbrella laboratory and taking preliminary photos to collect evidence, were attacked by densely packed steel robots below.

"Shit! What an inferior knockoff! How could it be so ugly!"

Tony had the same expression on his face as if he had eaten a huge meal.

He has always been quite conceited about his iron armor.

He also knew that someone would want to copy it, and it didn't matter if Rhodes's set was taken away.

He believes that no one can change faster than him.

But Tony didn't expect that the other party could complete a certain level of mass production so quickly, and the result was so ugly!
"But there are so many of them, and they are all unmanned. Umbrella also has its own artificial intelligence."

Tao Yu took a glance and casually flashed twice in the air, avoiding some rockets and strafing, allowing the rockets to explode on the buildings nearby and ignite many floors.

"Humph."

Seeing those inferior products appearing in perfect harmony, Tony agreed with Tao Yu's words. Then he glanced at the reporter in his arms who was already pale with fear, accelerated and took off, and placed him on a roof nearby.

"You can't blame me if this happens."

On the other side, Tao Yu also left another one here.

After getting rid of the two burdens, the two men rushed towards the robots in the opposite direction. However, the two reporters were not afraid of death at all and continued to take pictures of the battlefield with their cameras.

He kept muttering "rich, rich" in his mouth.

Swoosh~Bang~
The vibranium spear in Tao Yu's hand coordinated with his flight, and as he swung it, he blew a mecha into pieces in mid-air, with fragments flying everywhere.

While dodging in the air, Tao Yu also realized another use of the skill [Truth Analysis], even though he was being suppressed.

The calculation of various ballistic trajectories in battle is clearly visible with the support of computing power.

It actually reached an alternative level of time prediction!

Combined with the original [Inherent Time Control]'s perception and affinity for time ability, Tao Yu also felt a very smooth feeling.

Time is just a manifestation of the trajectory of particle movement!
It is easy to dodge various attacks with minimal angles and movements.

The continuous shooting just grazed his armor, and he just turned his head slightly to avoid the speeding rockets.

Along with some rockets that exploded prematurely, Tao Yu's casual movement in the air easily reduced the impact by following the direction of the explosion.

And every time he swung the vibranium spear in his hand, he could easily take away a robot.

In comparison, although Tony on the other side has Jarvis's assisted driving module, his shooting is also quite accurate.

But even using the palm cannon is not as efficient as Tao Yu's "primitive" attack method.

Fortunately, Tony had witnessed Tao Yu's "miracles" many times before, and now he was able to constantly convince himself to find self-consistent rationality.

But Tony could understand Tao Yu's efficiency.

Nick Fury, who was trying to find a way to get into the Umbrella Building, looked up at the battle and seemed a little surprised.

"Is this the Minato Namikaze you mentioned? It shouldn't have been long since he got the Iron Man suit. Since he's so skilled..."

"It must be him."

Natasha also looked a little solemn.

"Record his file and store it in the Level 8 confidential area..."

……

Not only Nick Fury, but also Alexander Pierce, who had been using Red Queen to observe the scene, was also shocked when he saw Tao Yu's actions.

"I thought Iron Man was already troublesome enough, and now this guy pops up. Do you have any information about him?"

"The Stark Group has their own AI that I can't hack into."

Red Queen said coldly, but soon she paused

"Natasha just uploaded the latest level eight secret. The armor pilot is named Namikaze Minato. He is one of the few blacklisted people whose identities were recently resolved by Stark Group."

Then, in front of Alexander Pierce, a photo of Minato Namikaze and all the information that could be collected so far appeared.

"An illegal immigrant from Mexico?"

-

Boom~boom~
As several iron armors rushed into the laboratory, the entire laboratory on that floor soon exploded violently.

Exploding flames rushed out from every window, and a large amount of glass fragments splashed!

Tao Yu, who was making a Z-shape in the air and instantly killed three robots, didn't feel too strange when he saw the explosion.

There are still too many robots, and there may be self-destruct devices in the laboratory. Even if you want to find evidence, going in is not a wise choice.

At the same time, Tao Yu had already seen Nick Fury below, and said to Tony through the communication system in the Iron Man suit:

"The person who contacted you before, was it the black guy down there? I saw the assistant you fired."

Tony above was cursing because of the bombing of the laboratory. He raised his hand and blew up another steel robot. After quickly cleaning up the surrounding area, he also saw the situation below.

"Oh, I was just going to ask him what he meant."

Tony controls the Iron Man suit to descend.

Jarvis had already relayed Nick Fury's words before, and Tony was still a little concerned about the other party's claim that he knew his father.

At the same time, the laboratory has been directly blown up. As a successful businessman, Tony also understands what needs to be done now.

This time, it might be difficult to kill Umbrella in one go. The cut-off live broadcast footage and subsequent screen recordings are actually of limited use. There are too many ways to justify it. All they have to do is hand over the guys who control the inferior products afterwards.

They might even turn the tables on themselves.

Tony hated this feeling of hypocrisy, but he really needed to use some external forces now.

"Hey man, I think your smartphone and all your apps are going to be delayed, and it's a bad feeling right now."

"It should be simple in advance. Anyway, I don't like to make money, so I will just sell the phones at cost price and operate the platform well..."

"You have a pretty good business sense, too."

Tony said with great appreciation.

Now that Tony is no longer short of money, he really has little interest in making money.

But this did not prevent him from seeing the potential of Tao Yu's actions.

In fact, for current civilian products, his smartphone model is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, and it has no rivals at all.

At this time, if the price is set higher at the beginning and a high-end brand positioning is created, it will actually be easy to sell. Many people will buy it, and it will form a brand effect and you will be able to get a brand premium later.

But with such huge profits, imitators will surely emerge in large numbers!
On the other hand, if he sells the products directly at cost price, relying on the first-mover advantage, latecomers who want to enter the market will also realize that this is a business that is almost losing money, and probably few will intervene.

At that time, he would use the mobile phone as a platform to create access permission for the system APP, or take some commissions. The profits in the future would be quite considerable...

But this was just Tony's idea. He wanted to persuade Tao Yu to get the company back on track quickly. He couldn't stand the disadvantage in public opinion. He could even imagine what the media would say about him after the incident in New York. They would use their popularity to suppress the news about their laboratory!

For Da Piaoliang, this kind of evidence, which is not really solid evidence, is nothing to such a top group.

It can be easily settled by paying some money.

"Your idea is great. I'll take care of the early arrangements and investment. You don't have to worry about production capacity. I'll directly look for some OEM factories for some simple parts... We can even hold a press conference in advance."

"I won't hold a press conference. Let Minato Namikaze go then."

When the battle had just ended, the two of them landed in front of Nick Fury and his group with a casual chat.

They are all fearless and will do what they say.

What happens next is that we will just fight back when the enemy comes and block when the water comes!
"That's the person you said was my father's colleague?"

Tony was in the Iron Man suit, looking at Nick Fury with scrutiny, and at the same time he saw two familiar faces, Natasha and Leon.

Psychologically, I am somewhat inclined to believe this.

Leon had reminded himself about the Umbrella virus, and according to Jarvis's analysis of the ingredients in Natasha's injection, it was indeed able to alleviate palladium poisoning.

If Jack's treatment method wasn't so outstanding, I might have actually used it and ended up owing them a favor.

This must be what they calculated!

I want to use it to win your favor at a critical moment.

If I hadn't met Jack, I might have really fallen into their trap.

"Hey, Tony, now is not the time to talk about this. Umbrella blew up their laboratory. We must enter the building now to collect as much intelligence and evidence as possible. I have arranged for my people to arrive immediately. Please help me seal off this place first."

Although Nick Fury knew that the previous explosion must have destroyed a lot of evidence, flames were still burning on it.

But he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

However, the SHIELD agents had not arrived yet, but the firefighters had already arrived.

There were also NYPD detectives and Foberle's men arriving quickly.

Some men in suits got out of several black cars.

Nick Fury wasn't surprised that the firefighters and NYPD arrived so quickly.

But people from Foberle shouldn’t be so efficient!

"Who is your supervisor? I want to see them. Our National Strategic Offensive Defense and Logistics Support Bureau has now taken full control of this place and has been authorized."

Nick Fury walked over quickly and showed his ID first.

Fobole is often their pseudonym, and he still has an innate psychological advantage over these people.

However, this time, the head of Foberle did not sell him.
"I'm sorry, I haven't received any notice of being taken over. I'm in charge of this place now, and the military will take over soon. Please don't get in the way."

The supervisor just glanced at Nick Fury's ID and didn't even take it.

These words made Nick Fury frown. What was wrong with that guy Pierce?

At this time, he happened to receive a call from Pierce.
"Fury, things are a bit bad. This incident has alarmed the military. They are now mobilizing a lot of energy. They should have made preparations in advance. I didn't react as fast as them. After all, they took the initiative to go to Stark this time..."

Alexander Pierce's explanation did not dispel Nick Fury's doubts.

Admittedly, this time it was most likely Umbrella that took the initiative to attack Tony, but Tony's unconventional move of coming and finding Umbrella's laboratory in the first place was definitely beyond their expectations!

Even I just happened to be there because I came here because Natasha was fired.

Nick Fury is in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. He is of course aware that the reaction speed of a large company is only average, so he rushed all the way here and notified Pierce directly.

His original idea was to create time difference.

As a result, I showed up in person and came to the scene first, but I was intercepted...

This made Nick Fury, who had never doubted Alexander Pierce, begin to doubt his old friend for the first time.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they cannot be easily wiped out...

-

Shootings happen very frequently in New York. If there are no shootings for several days in a row, it will be reported in the newspapers.

However, this kind of chain scenes of robot battles, rockets flying, laboratory explosions and fires are still quite rare at present.

What's more, it involves the famous Iron Man, and the two giants Stark and Umbrella.

For a time, all kinds of reports were overwhelming.

The New York Times: "The famous Iron Man, Tony Stark, is suspected to be terminally ill and wants to use some dangerous virus to treat it."

CNN: "Through the live broadcast, we can see traces of biological experiments on the top of Stark Tower! People are calling for a thorough investigation!"

CBC: "Umbrella's laboratory has verified that it has been reported, and the homeless man in the picture is just a volunteer who went there to test the drug."

A list of some signatures was also attached at the end. All the procedures were reasonable and legal, and there was nothing wrong with them. The procedures were correct.

CBS: "The robots that battled Iron Man were created by Ivan Vanko, who has been lurking around seeking revenge."

FOX: "Iron Man should still be responsible for the civilians who were accidentally injured. That's not a mechanical prosthesis."

……

The glass wall on the top floor of Stark Tower has been repaired, and the scene has been cleaned and disinfected.

Once again, I returned to the cozy atmosphere of that small and fresh bar.

Tony, the owner of this place, was also finding those reports a little funny.

Even though he didn't really care about what others thought of him, it was still infuriating that he was still attacked by the overwhelming media even though he had already exposed Umbrella's flaws.

And today, in addition to the Tao Yu trio who have been staying here, there are also Pepper Potts and Nick Fury.

This time, Director Nick Fury, who looks like a boiled egg, did not suddenly appear mysteriously. Instead, he came to visit openly and brought the relics of Tony's father Howard.

Seeing that Tony was still upset about these reports, he sighed and said

"This is how the world works. If you don't occupy the 'truth', someone else will."

In fact, with the capabilities of the Stark Group, this shouldn't be the case. Stark is also a giant enterprise.

It’s just that Tony didn’t care about these things before. Obama was in charge of them, and he mainly relied on the energy mobilization of the military-industrial complex.

As a result, the Stark Group has now abandoned its old connections and plunged headfirst into the energy sector. At least its control over public opinion has become quite passive.

"Does Umbrella have no management responsibility at all?"

"Yes, Umbrella paid money to reach a settlement. The management did not pursue the matter and just handed Ivan Vanko over."

Nick Fury didn't seem surprised at all and spoke in a calm tone.

This was indeed a rare opportunity, but in fact, even if he had confirmed the other party's laboratory and found decisive evidence, he knew that it would be difficult to directly bring down the other party, and it could only be considered a blow.

This is normal now.

"For Umbrella Corporation, ordinary people wouldn't find it strange. Just a few days ago, a wealthy man who caused losses to Umbrella Corporation had his entire family die on his yacht, but the rest of the people were rescued. His deputy also had a car accident on the same day."

Nick Fury smiled. This beautiful business war was actually so simple and unpretentious.

When Purdue Pharma had such a big incident, in the end they just paid money to settle the matter, and no one was held responsible. In comparison, it only exposed the footage of a biochemical laboratory and did not cause any serious consequences. It is nothing at all.

"But don't worry. Before they figure out how you found the lab, they probably won't dare to take risks again. You should be thankful that you have strong force at your disposal."

After that, he pushed Howard's relics out.
"Perhaps you can find a solution to palladium poisoning from this."

In fact, Tony had Tao Yu's help, so he didn't urgently need a substitute. It seemed that finding a top surgeon would be fine.

But Stephen, who is still lying in the laboratory, makes Tony realize that he doesn’t know what will happen secretly next time the doctor comes.

Apart from trustworthy people like Brother Jack, it is better to ask yourself for help instead of asking others!

"Well, for the sake of this thing, I won't pursue the matter of you planting spies before."

"Besides that, I also want to cooperate with you to fight against Umbrella together. Of course, there is also Mr. Namikaze Minato."

Minato Namikaze, who was originally sitting on the sidelines watching the show, felt a little confused when he suddenly heard himself being mentioned.

But after looking at Tao Yu, he nodded.

"I will follow Mr. Stark's arrangements."

"I will use my own methods to deal with Umbrella, but if you are willing to share some intelligence, cooperation is not impossible."

The continuous attacks and the blame being put on him made Tony feel a little angry with Umbrella.

In fact, Stark Group has even had a lot of cooperation with Umbrella Corporation in the past, including in the sales of weapons.

The other party even proposed a strategic cooperation of exchanging shares, but Obaday was still considering it at the time, and then he killed it.

But I didn't expect that after the falling out, the other party's methods would be so dirty!

Tony just wants to do something he likes and hates this kind of tediousness.

But this time, it made him a little annoyed.

So much so that he didn't completely reject Nick Fury's proposal.

If it weren't for Umbrella's move, it would have been much more difficult for Nick Fury to convince Tony.

"Also, you need to pay more attention to your safety. Now that Mr. Minato is helping me, I feel more at ease. I also have some internal problems here, and I need to go back and check them out. I will also intervene and help with the investigation of Stark Group's biochemical research..."

Nick Fury also expressed his sincerity.

“No need. Although there is indeed not much media coverage right now, our legal team is no less capable than any top group.”

Tony Stark waved his hand.

If they want to investigate, let them investigate. They will use your rules to defeat you within the rules you set...

At this moment, Jarvis suddenly said
"Sir, Dr. Stephen has woken up and is arguing with Rhodes..."

Rhodes' injuries were much lighter than Stephen's and he woke up early, but the feeling of physical overdraft forced him to stay here helplessly.

And although the control was achieved by relying on the Evil Sealing Method and the Five Elements Seal, even Tao Yu was not sure how strong the seal was and more observation was needed.

Now that Stephen had woken up, Rhodes started arguing with the guy who had hurt him like this.

When Tao Yu and others changed into isolation suits and entered the isolation room, they saw two skinny patients arguing with each other.

Stephen is no match for Rhodes, who is more like a rap player.

Especially when Stephen raised his hand and looked at his skinny arms and weak fingers, that kind of emo feeling of dejection seemed to make the atmosphere of the entire isolation room a little depressing.

The whole person's mood seemed quite low.

As a result, Rhodes, who was rapping continuously, had to stop.

"Hey, why are you acting like a child? I just complained a few words after you caused me so much trouble. Why are you crying? Can't I just stop complaining? Crybaby."
