Within Morningstar Universe.
As soon as Pierce received the order from Lu Xi, he immediately summoned the Hydra team.
Not long after, Rumlow, Sitwell, and Garrett arrived neatly.
Several people stood in a row with solemn expressions, waiting for Pierce to speak.
Pierce looked solemn, glanced at several people, and said loudly:
"The Lord has just given me an order to activate 'Rapid Contract Plan'. Everyone, it's time for us to make contributions to the great Lord!"
When the three of them heard this, their eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
To do meritorious service means to be rewarded.
And what the reward brings will be endless power and a long life!
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this old leader Pierce is so reliable. He thinks of his subordinates every chance he gets.
Rumlow couldn't wait to ask:
"Sir, what is Rapid Contract Plan?"
Pierce did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked another question:
"What's going on with the guy named Alderezy Killian that I put you in contact with before?"
Rumlow hurriedly stepped forward and reported respectfully:
"Sir, we have been in contact with Killian. This person has opened a company called A. I. M and is researching a Extremis Virus that can enhance human physique. And now, we, Hydra, are one of the major shareholders of A. I. M."
Pierce nodded slightly and asked:
"Oh, what's going on with this virus? Tell me in detail."
Rumlow introduced it enthusiastically:
"This virus is incredible. It can give humans super healing abilities, endurance, strength, etc. It can even turn a person's body into a magma-like form. The temperature is enough to melt steel."
"But if this virus is given to ordinary people, it will only be able to produce a few super soldiers in batches. Compared with you, sir, it will be nothing."
They all knew in their hearts that after Pierce was given superpowers by Lu Xi, her pure physical strength was beyond imagination.
It can even resist missiles. Except for nuclear bombs, which have not been tested, other types of human thermal weapons are completely unable to harm Pierce.
Those so-called super soldiers are like toys in his eyes.
Pierce burst into laughter after hearing this, obviously enjoying the flattery from his subordinates:
"Of course, my ability was given by the Lord himself. How can those viruses studied by rotten fish and rotten shrimps be compared with my superpower!"
He put away his smile, looked stern, and then said:
"However, rotten fish and shrimps also have the effect of rotten fish and shrimps."
"The Lord reminded me that Killian was once played by Tony·Stark, which caused a great psychological shadow on him. This time Rapid Contract Plan, he is the key!"
Rumlow was refreshed and asked eagerly:
"Sir, what are we going to do?"
Pierce raised the corners of his mouth slightly, approached a few people, and whispered:
"Go and inform Killian, first like this... then like that... make sure you do everything beautifully."
After the three of them listened, they raised their hands and saluted at the same time:
"Promise to complete the mission, sir!"
A little later, in a certain villa in Malibu.
Tony·Stark is concentrating on studying his new armor.
The entire villa was so quiet that only the sound of him occasionally playing with tools could be heard.
Suddenly, JARVIS's slightly mechanical voice sounded in the room:
"Boss, there is a group of unknown people attacking the villa."
Tony frowned and quickly opened the monitoring screen.
This sight immediately startled him.
Tony discovered that it was actually several "Pyro" who were all on fire.
I saw one of them walking slowly to the door of the villa and just placing his hand gently on the door lock.
That alloy door with extremely high security standards was burned with a big hole in an instant.
The hot metallic liquid flowed down and made a sizzling sound on the ground.
The person standing at the back seemed to be a leader.
He smiled ferociously in the direction of the surveillance camera, then waved his hand, signaling his men to open the door and rush in.
Tony looked shocked and couldn't help blurting out:
"What the f**k? What the f**k!"
He didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran towards the equipment room, preparing to put on Iron Man Armor.
Just as he was putting it on, there was a loud "bang" sound.
Seven or eight Pyro rushed in like menaces.
Fortunately, after several generations of improvements, Tony's armor can be divided into parts and automatically worn.
Otherwise, if it is still an old model and needs a workbench to assist in wearing it, then he may have been caught by these uninvited guests.
Tony, wearing a battle suit, stood up slowly, raised his hands, and aimed the palm cannon at several people, but did not fire it immediately.
He stared at the aggressive group of Pyro in front of him with a cynical smile on his face.
"Wow! Everyone, calm down, who are you? Let's talk first?"
Tony knows very well that these people are not easy to mess with at first sight.
Moreover, he was eager to find out why these people suddenly came to his door.
The leader Pyro took a step forward, stared at Tony and said coldly:
"Tony·Stark, come out of your iron shell and come with us."
His voice was low and cold, as if it contained an unquestionable command.
Tony was secretly vigilant in his heart, but still had a cynical smile on his face, and responded:
"Well... why don't you answer my question first, and then I will consider whether to come out? Who are you and where do you come from?"
Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to actually come out of the armor, he just wanted to take the opportunity to trick the opponent and see if he could get some useful information.
Pyro Captain frowned, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and coldly snorted:
"I'm not negotiating with you. Since you're unwilling to cooperate, don't blame us for being too harsh!"
After saying that, he raised his hand in the air and made a neat gesture.
In an instant, those Pyro dispersed like well-trained soldiers.
They began to slowly approach Tony in an extremely professional tactical formation.
I saw someone quickly rushing towards the front, assuming a strong attack stance.
Some people flexibly outflanked them from the flanks.
There are even people quietly sneaking around behind Tony, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
Tony's eyes suddenly froze, and he was secretly surprised.
Looking at the fighting qualities of this group of people, they are definitely not something ordinary street gangsters can achieve.
Moreover, JARVIS analyzed the opponent's tactics and gestures immediately, and clearly displayed the results on the armor helmet.
Tony couldn't help but asked loudly:
"Are you soldiers? Who sent you here? Has Earth Federation given permission for your actions?"
