Chapter 126 Level Alert!
After all, Peru is too big, covering 1.28 million square kilometers, and it is really difficult to investigate it relying solely on the power of the Avengers.

So in this case, getting SHIELD to cooperate is undoubtedly the best option.

Of course, regarding what Nick Fury said about transferring the zombie Hawkeye, or asking to study the zombie virus fluid together.

Tony Stark refused without hesitation!

This thing must not be given to SHIELD at all costs, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble SHIELD will come up with.

After breakfast, Qin Yang brought Wanda to the Avengers base.

After saying hello to others, Qin Yang returned to his office.

After making himself a pot of tea, Qin Yang picked up the briefing and started reading it.

This is what happened to the Avengers during the month that Wanda and I were on vacation.

After taking a look at the contents of the briefing and confirming that there were no difficult enemies, Qin Yang put the briefing down.

"Are you finally willing to come back?"

Arriving at Qin Yang's office, Tony Stark poured himself a cup of tea as skillfully as ever: "I thought you would come back in three months like you did last year."

Hearing what Tony Stark said, Qin Yang leaned back in his chair: "Wanda also said that she would take me to Sokovia and live in the house where she and Pietro lived for two months, so I also want to take a three-month vacation."

"It's just that Natasha doesn't allow it. But then again, it seems like everyone of us, including the members who joined later, has a holiday."

"Only Natasha didn't take a vacation. Even if she did, she would always stay here except for the time in the Red Room."

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Tony nodded and said, "So, Natasha is the one in charge of this base. After all, this is her home."

"By the way, come with me, I'll show you something good."

Seeing Tony Stark's mysterious look, Qin Yang stood up and followed him.

Inside Tony Stark's laboratory.

At this moment, his Mark armors were placed on different tables in the laboratory, as if they were being repaired.

"Have you developed a new battle armor?"

Looking at the signs of modification on the armor, Qin Yang asked curiously.

"Almost. I have made some new improvements, but they cannot be used in actual combat for the time being!"

As he spoke, Tony Stark looked at Qin Yang excitedly and said, "Watch it!"

After he finished speaking, Tony Stark patted the Ark Reactor on his chest.

The next moment, the armor placed on the table immediately turned into energy spots and disappeared.

Under Qin Yang's gaze, these disappeared armors reappeared on Tony Stark's body in the form of energy.

"How about it?"

Patting his armor, Tony Stark looked at Qin Yang proudly: "This is cooler than the nano armor!"

"When the armor disappeared on the table just now, I felt that the energy field around me seemed to have changed. Is this your latest research?"

"That's right!"

In response to Qin Yang's question, Tony Stark said excitedly: "This is the quantum armor, which is the direction I will study in the future."

"I can transfer the armor from anywhere to my body by using quantum transfer technology."

"As long as this technology is completely successful, I won't have to put the nano armor into the reactor on my chest anymore."

"And as long as I need it, the quantum armor can be transferred to me at any time, even if the armor is on Earth and I am on another planet."

Watching Tony Stark excitedly describing the prospects of this technology.

Qin Yang nodded and said, "If you can really create a quantum armor, it would be very convenient indeed. But how long will it take to achieve the effect you mentioned?"

Hearing Qin Yang's question, Tony Stark shrugged and said, "I don't know. After all, the field of quantum seems simple, but it is actually very complicated."

"I came up with this idea through my research during this period, and with the help of Jarvis, I achieved quantum transfer within a range of ten meters."

"But even so, there is still no guarantee of 100% success within ten meters. In the process, we even lost three complete sets of armor and some breastplates, leg armors, etc."

"According to my speculation, the lost armor and parts should have entered the quantum realm."

Seeing Tony's somewhat regretful expression, Qin Yang smiled and said, "But at least this is a good start. Is there anything else you need to show me?"

"How did you know I had anything else?"

"What do you say?"

"So, you and I have spent the longest time together in the Avengers."

"Thank you, I have a girlfriend."

"FUXX, I'm married too!"

Tony Stark raised his middle finger to Qin Yang, took out the energy bead and said, "In fact, whether it is the quantum armor or the subsequent negative space, I accidentally researched it through this energy bead."

"This energy bead is very strange. I still haven't figured out what kind of energy it contains. I don't know if this is the right way to describe it, because it's so special."

"So special that I would like to talk to the variant Kang if I have the chance."

As he spoke, Tony Stark took out his cell phone and flicked it into the air.

The next second, a glowing portal appeared in the originally peaceful space.

Looking inside through the portal, Qin Yang discovered that the inside of the portal was an endless, yet pitch-black space.

However, there was a huge glowing building with the number "42" printed on it.

"This building was created by me through nanotechnology. I call it Prison 42."

As he spoke, Tony Stark took Qin Yang through the portal and entered this negative space.

As the two people walked into the space, the portal disappeared in an instant.

“This space is like a void, but there is an invisible ‘road’ under my feet, and there is air circulation.”

"So I plan to use it as a prison cell, so that after we capture some super-powered people, we don't have to hand them over to S.H.I.E.L.D."

As he spoke, Tony Stark came to the door of Prison No. 42 and raised his hand to scan his palm print.

After the palm print was unlocked, Tony Stark opened the door.

There are huge iron cages placed inside the prison, and the material of each cage is extremely special.

This should be prepared to prevent people with super powers from escaping from prison.

But now, the only prisoner in Prison No. 42 is the zombie Hawkeye.

After seeing Qin Yang and Tony Stark walk in.

The zombie Hawkeye pounced in front of the iron fence and said in a hoarse voice: "What the hell is this place? There is no sound at all, the silence is so scary!"

After hearing what the zombie Hawkeye said, Tony Stark asked curiously, "Are you scared?"

"of course."

Staring at Tony Stark with his mouth full of meat scraps, the zombie Hawkeye said, "I'm more afraid that if my companions from that universe come and eat you all, then I'll be locked up here alone and starve to death, right?"

"Tsk, can't you say something nice?"

Listening to the words of the zombie Hawkeye, Tony Stark looked at Qin Yang helplessly and said, "He repeats this sentence every time he sees me, as if those zombie companions can really find me."

Listening to Tony's complaints, Qin Yang suddenly asked, "Zombie Clint, so you are giving us advice to pay more attention to people from the multiverse?"

Seeing that Qin Yang understood what he meant, Zombie Hawkeye suddenly laughed: "You are still smart, but it is only a matter of time before they come looking for us."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, because the key is in your hands, but you are still trying to figure out how to use this key to open this lock!"

"Unfortunately, you don't know that once the lock is opened, the future hidden inside the door will cause your universe to completely collapse!"

At this point, Zombie Hawkeye sneered: "Don't think I'm exaggerating. You should know that you are not the first person to study how to use the key to open this lock!"

"What do you mean?" Tony Stark frowned at the zombie Hawkeye and said, "Can you explain it more clearly? For example, what is the key? What are the door and the lock?"

Looking at Tony Stark who looked puzzled.

Zombie Hawkeye was silent for a moment: "Can I see the wife and children of Clint Barton in this world?"

"Of course, it's not face-to-face. I just need to watch their videos or photos."

"I really miss them, especially after being locked up in this damn place."

Hearing the request of the zombie Hawkeye, Tony Stark and Qin Yang looked at each other, then shook their heads and refused: "Sorry, we can't agree to your request."

"Even if you are Clint's counterpart in the multiverse, his wife and children are always his privacy."

"Even if it's just a simple video or photo, it's not allowed!"

Hearing Tony Stark say this, Zombie Hawkeye was not surprised at all: "I knew you would reject me, but it doesn't matter."

"Then let's talk about the key and the door after you have made your decision."

"Also, I suggest you make a decision quickly because you don't have much time!"

After saying that, Zombie Hawkeye turned around and sat in the corner.

It was obvious that he was unwilling to continue talking.

Seeing this scene, the mind gem in Qin Yang's hand emitted a ray of light.

But he soon discovered that the zombie Hawkeye's mind was filled with negative emotions such as bloodthirstiness, devouring, hunger, etc.

Feeling these negative emotions, Qin Yang shook his head at Tony.

"Okay, Zombie Elf Prince, we'll come see you next time."

Having said that, Tony Stark turned around and left with Qin Yang.

After leaving Prison No. 42, Tony took out his cell phone and flicked it, and then the portal appeared again.

After returning to the laboratory from the dark space, Tony handed the controller leading to Prison No. 42 to Qin Yang.

"There are only five people in this base who have the authority to open Prison 42: you, me, Steve, Natasha, and Professor X."

"From now on, this will be where we keep our superpowered prisoners and where the Avengers hide their most mysterious items."

"Oh, I will prepare a separate cell for the zombie Hawkeye. I don't want him to eat the prisoners."

Hearing Tony say this, Qin Yang took the controller and nodded: "That's no problem, but what do you think the key in the zombie Hawkeye's mouth is?"

"Who knows? He seems quite sincere in what he says, but I always feel like he's trying to scare us."

"If those zombie superheroes were really that powerful, the multiverse would have been destroyed long ago!"

Seeing that Tony didn't seem to care, Qin Yang didn't say anything.

But I had some guesses in my heart!
Somewhere in ruins in Peru.

"This is the seventh ruins we have excavated."

Handing Steve a cup of hot coffee, Hill looked at the SHIELD personnel who were digging the ruins and said, "SHIELD has already used all kinds of cutting-edge instruments. If there is an underground palace or something else on the surface, we will be able to find it in the first place!"

At this point, Hill looked at Steve and said, "Do you think that Dracula can really integrate the zombie virus?"

"I am not sure as well."

Holding the coffee in his hand, Steve took a deep breath and said, "But if the zombie virus has no effect on Dracula, why would those vampires pay such a tragic price for it?"

"You have to know that Qin slaughtered all the vampire families in Europe, and finally got clues from the vampires in the independent camp."

At this point, Steve looked at Hill and said, "My only worry now is that after Dracula acquired the zombie virus, he has moved from his sleeping place in Peru to some other place."

"Once something like this happens, it will be very difficult for us to track him down!"

Facing Steve's concerns, Hill nodded gently: "It's not impossible. After all, more than two months have passed."

"I hope we can successfully find Dracula this time and destroy him."

"Otherwise, suppose Dracula really merges into a zombie vampire, or causes a large-scale spread of zombies."

"Then Steve, for the safety of this world, SHIELD will have to resort to last resort."

I listened to Hill laying the groundwork for so long before she revealed her ultimate goal.

Steve was silent for a while and said, "Although this goes against my philosophy, if things really come to that point, then neither I nor the Avengers will object to your use of nuclear bombs."

Hearing that Steve also agreed to the plan, Hill nodded and felt a little relieved.

In fact, from the very beginning, Nick Fury didn't have much hope of finding Dracula's resting place in Peru.

After all, Peru is too big, and two months is enough time for a lot of things to happen. Especially after seeing the zombie Hawkeye, Nick Fury ordered S.H.I.E.L.D. to deploy a nuclear bomb that day.

However, if you want to launch a nuclear bomb, you must get the consent of the Avengers.

Otherwise, Qin Yang alone could destroy all the nuclear bombs launched by SHIELD.

However, compared to other members of the Avengers, both Hill and Fury believe that once the zombie virus breaks out, Qin Yang will not refuse S.H.I.E.L.D. to use nuclear bombs.

After all, compared to the "soft" hearts of other Avengers members, Qin Yang's mind is much clearer than theirs!

I was just about to take out my phone and send a text message to Nick Fury, telling him that the nuclear bombs could be fully deployed.

But the next second, a beeping alarm suddenly came from the instrument detector at the excavation site.

Hearing the alarm, Hill and Steve looked at each other and immediately ran towards the ruins pit.

The ruins site.

"Sir, according to the information sent back by the life detector, there are traces of special life fluctuations about ten meters below the ruins!"

Seeing Hill and Steve running over, the detector immediately picked up the computer display and reported to them.

Glancing at the glowing point on the screen, Hill frowned and asked, "Special life form?"

"Sir, generally speaking, except for artificial robots, all life forms on Earth are carbon-based. The detector also performs survey calculations based on this principle."

"But according to the values ​​transmitted back, only part of the life form found below meets the criteria of carbon-based life. It is more like a kind of...living artificial skeleton?"

After organizing his words, the explorer said, "We are not sure about the details yet. Only after we excavate it and send it back to the laboratory for comprehensive research, can we know what kind of life form it is."

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Hill nodded, then pressed the headset and said: "Everyone, pay attention, level one alert!"

Upon hearing Hill's order, a large number of SHIELD agents immediately ran over with modified weapons specially used to deal with vampires.

Almost in an instant, the entire ruins were put on alert in all directions.

Even the laser weapon turrets that had been built started to operate!
Not only that, there were dozens of fighter jets hovering in the air.

Seeing that the surroundings were fully prepared for battle, Hill ordered the special creature ten meters underground to be dug out!
When the SHIELD people quickly began to dig, Steve Rogers held the shield and said expectantly: "Hill, do you think that special life form could be Dracula?"

"Not sure, but I hope so."

As the SHIELD people dug quickly, soon ten meters underground, a thing made of iron pipes and cement, similar to a sealed cabin, appeared in front of everyone.

After lifting the object up, the researcher scanned it using a life detector.

It was discovered that the creature inside the cabin sealed with cement still had fluctuating vital signs.

Seeing this, Hill immediately ordered the outermost layer of thick sealing cement to be pried open.

Then, a sealed iron barrel more than two meters high, tightly tied with countless layers of iron chains, appeared in front of everyone.

"I think it might be Dracula!"

Gripping the shield tightly in his hand, Steve's eyes flashed with excitement: "Besides the vampire Dracula, who else can scare people so much that they would tie it up in so many layers?"

After hearing what Steve said, Hill gave the agents on guard around him a look that indicated they were ready to fire at any time.

He ordered the chain to be cut, and then had the sealed cabin opened.
