Extremis Virus
Iron Man's armor sparked its last burst of light in a blizzard at minus twenty degrees Celsius.
He was chased here by armed helicopters, and his armor ran out of power, which once again proved that the North was not suitable for driving trams.
Stark tied his Mark 42 suit together with rope, and dragged his disheveled body toward the town in the distance.
From the frozen lake to the barn of a white family, Stark was nearing his limit. He Shang-Chi breathe, let alone stand. He had never been so miserable in his life.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., is the communication module still breathing?" Stark tapped his helmet, but only electromagnetic noise answered him.
His gaze fell on a children's toy box in the corner of the warehouse, where a pink Peppa Pig digital watch was reflecting a faint light under the flickering bulb.
Twenty minutes later, Stark's frozen fingers finally transformed the children's watch into a low-frequency signal transmitter. As the watch face lit up with an eerie green light, he roared into the microphone, "Stephen! Tennessee, Tennessee, 35°77′N, I need you! I f***ing want to see your face right now!"
The signal cut through the blizzard, and far away in London, Stephen Fang put down his warm coffee. "Wow, boss, the resort you chose is really cold."
"Stop joking!" Tony Stark coughed twice. "I almost died! Where have you been all this time?! Didn't you see the news? My house was bombed again!"
Stephen Fang suddenly thought of the plot of Iron Man 3. "Wait a minute! You... I understand. Wait a moment, I'll come find you right away."
At this point, Tony Stark finally discovered the source of Stephen Fang's signal. It was clearly not located within the country, which filled Tony Stark with despair. "My God! By the time you find me, I might already be skinned alive by a terrorist organization!"
"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
With his death looming, Tony Stark's bad temper flared up again. He said irritably, "When you get here, you can attend my funeral! Remember, keep an eye on Happy for me. I have a feeling there's something off about the way he looks at Pepper Potts!"
Stephen Fang sighed and said, "Alright! Stop thinking about this and that. After you die, Pepper Potts will need some comfort! Does it matter whether it's Happy or a two-meter-tall black basketball the Athlete?"
"Cough, cough, cough," Tony Stark choked, his chest heaving. "Okay, I'm a little sleepy."
J.A.R.V.I.S.'s alarm sounded, "Energy critically low detected. Replenish energy immediately! Repeat! Energy critically low detected. Replenish energy immediately!"
Tony Stark looked at his modified Little Genius children's watch, gave a bitter smile into the microphone, "I never imagined that the last thing I would do is talk to you."
On the other end of the phone, the wind howled, creating a lot of static. Tony Stark sighed, his eyes about to close.
"Bang!"
Suddenly!
The iron gate was kicked open!
"Gate of Opening! FBI!"
The moment Stephen Square Face appeared, Iron Man aptly remarked, "Brother, you look more appealing to me than any woman I've ever seen, even if you asked me to give you Dick."
Stephen Fang rolled his eyes. "Stop joking around. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
With that, he activated Flying Thunder God Technique.
The next second, Iron Man was already in the corridor of London Third People's Hospital.
Tony Stark glanced around and quickly covered his face. "Those terrorists seem to have access to the security cameras. I can't stay here! You need to get me a private doctor! Hide! Hide!"
Stephen Fang shrugged nonchalantly. "Alright, you don't need to worry. This is England. Even if the enemy is chasing you, you'll need to go through security and catch the six o'clock flight."
Tony Stark stared blankly around, his worldview reshaped when he heard the London accent, so distinct from American pronunciation.
"Hey Stephen, I have to take back what I said before. Your disappearance was actually quite, quite good."
"Alright, stop talking. Sit down, I'll find you the best doctor."
With that, he vanished right in front of Tony Stark.
Then it appeared again.
However, this time he brought someone with him!
Although Strange still looked unshaven, there was a light in his eyes!
"This! This is! In a hospital? God! God! Are you telling me to become a doctor again?" Strange couldn't help but grab Stephen Fang's sleeve and anxiously asked.
"Don't rush. First, examine this important patient. After the examination and instruction, I'll send you back to the pilgrimage route."
Strange was thrilled. "I get it! There are no shortcuts!"
"Well, whatever you think. So, may we begin the examination, doctor?"
Strange nodded emphatically, "Leave it to me!"
Half an hour later, on the operating table, Tony Stark looked at Stephen Fang's face. "Help me, Potts has been kidnapped. Those guys injected her with some unknown liquid. I need you to find Pepper Potts and bring her to the hospital."
"Alright, don't worry."
Stephen Fung, who had seen the movie, then realized what Tony Stark was talking about.
Pepper Potts was injected with the Extremis Virus by Dr. Killian, whom she had worked with before. This virus is highly unstable but can grant ordinary people tremendous power, even surpassing Captain America's Super Serum.
Because the Extremis Virus can even help the host repair severed limbs and internal organ damage.
This thing's self-healing speed is even comparable to that of a normal Wolverine. Even if a host of the Extremis Virus is hit by a bomb at close range, as long as they have a breath left, their limbs can regenerate very quickly and visibly.
It's not the kind of regeneration that heals wounds.
It is a regeneration from nothing!
So what if it's a big ball of light?
It's not even as fast as the Extremis Virus can repair itself.
This thing has always been one of the Marvel gadgets that Stephen Fang was determined to get his hands on.
However, the side effects of this stuff are also obvious. Marvel even released several related comics to talk about the terrible consequences of using the Extremis Virus.
Addiction, loss of humanity, and genetic remodeling are all side effects that are difficult to avoid.
But that doesn't stop me from stockpiling this stuff first.
You never know when you'll be in Extremis and need to use it.
Stephen Fang patted Tony Stark on the shoulder. "Don't worry about the anesthesia. When you wake up, I'll bring your secretary back to you."
In the last second before the anesthesia took effect, Stark muttered, "She's not a secretary, she's my... she's not."
Activating the Flying Thunder God, Stephen Fang appeared on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He dialed Black Widow's number and explained the situation in a few words.
"Okay, as soon as possible. Tell me your location and I'll go to rescue you myself."
After hanging up the phone, Stephen Fang smacked his lips and muttered, "Losing humanity and becoming a zombie is indeed a very serious problem. First of all, the Main God Fang Yu will explode. Is there any other way?"
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him!
How do Ghoul solve their food problem?
Earth Grudge Fear!
The Earth Grudge Fear itself can help him resist death!
Then inject the Extremis Virus into the Earth Grudge Fear!
Let this thing also have a powerful self-healing ability!
The Earth Grudge Fear has an incredibly strong self-healing ability. If it gets injured, the Earth Grudge Fear. Doesn't that make it practically immortal?
