Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#767 - Desperate Virus

"Di Di ~"

Just as Liang Yue had seen the two off, it wasn't long before the Xiao Wu clone, which had been wrapped around his wrist, suddenly flashed red.

"Reporting, Master, there's an incoming call. It seems to be Ms. Pepper Potts."

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Liang Yue didn't hesitate. With a thought, a light screen popped up.

On the other side of the video was Pepper Potts' face, looking shocked and panicked, with tears in her eyes. The background was sunny and next to the sea, apparently Stark's Malibu mansion.

However, the once fashionable and luxurious super villa had now been reduced to ruins.

Even the dust in the air hadn't settled completely, and flames were still burning in some places.

"What's wrong, Pepper?"

Looking at the scene on the other side, Liang Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Is this the beginning of Iron Man 3?

Seeing this, Liang Yue naturally had nothing to say. He immediately opened a space portal to the other side, stepped through, and helped Pepper up from the ground.

Next to her, another woman was quickly walking forward to help and hug her.

With just a glance, Liang Yue recognized the woman's identity.

It was Maya Hansen, the inventor of the Extremis virus~

Thanks to the popularity of his family's gene therapy technology recently, some traditional pharmaceutical companies, after failing to obtain it, not only resorted to desperate measures but also searched the world for experts and cutting-edge scholars related to the field.

Ms. Maya Hansen's Extremis virus project was one of the projects being promoted, along with Dr. Helen Cho's Cradle of Life from South Korea. Both were favored by capital and heavily invested in and promoted.

During that time, pharmaceutical companies advertised almost every day in the media, selling concepts and telling stories. The two outstanding female scientists, who were originally quietly doing research, were even used as typical examples and pushed to the forefront.

It was hard for Liang Yue not to recognize them~

"Quick! Liang Yue! Tony seems to be trapped at the bottom of the sea!"

Just like in the movie, the scene was chaotic before, and Pepper was obviously a bit confused. She didn't see the whole process and always thought Stark was still trapped at the bottom of the sea.

"Don't worry, he's not at the bottom of the sea now."

As he spoke, a small panoramic sandbox popped up from the Xiao Wu clone on his wrist.

Soon, the intelligent brain Xiao Wu found Stark's figure in the sky, dozens of kilometers away from the Malibu coast villa.

At this time, he was wearing a new style of armor, flying north at full speed. The exterior of the armor looked a bit old, with scratches everywhere, obviously injured in the previous battle.

However, it was understandable. It was said that the armor Stark was wearing seemed to be a prototype sample, and the armor was not equipped with weapons, and some functions were incomplete.

Being ambushed and beaten by three armed helicopters when he wasn't prepared wasn't too embarrassing.

After seeing Stark's flying figure on the sandbox, Pepper's mood finally recovered a bit, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on her tearful face.

However, Liang Yue's next words quickly plunged her mood into the abyss.

"His current state is a bit off. He seems to be unconscious. The Iron Man armor is flying according to a set escape route, and even Xiao Wu's signal connection is being rejected."

"Then, is Tony safe now?"

Pepper asked, looking at him nervously.

"He should be safe, he just fainted."

Saying that, Liang Yue pointed to the space portal next to Pepper and Ms. Maya Hansen and continued.

"You guys go to my house and wait for a while. It's very safe there. I'll go get Tony back."

Pepper naturally wouldn't object to Liang Yue's suggestion. At this time, she was upset and her mind was in a mess. It was of course something to ask for his powerful ally to help.

As for Maya Hansen next to her, she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving for the time being.

After sending the two to his own villa and instructing the butler to take good care of them, Liang Yue soared into the air the next moment, and his whole body instantly turned into a purple rainbow, disappearing into the end of the sky in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, he had already caught up with Stark, who was fleeing for his life.

According to the current speed and direction of the Iron Man armor, they would arrive near Rose Hill, Tennessee, around dark.

But now that Liang Yue was here, he naturally didn't need to make a wasted trip.

The next moment, the Iron Man armor that was flying at high speed was stopped by him.

As Liang Yue expected, Stark in the armor had already passed out. Jarvis was just following his orders before he fainted, taking Stark north.

Fortunately, Jarvis was quite familiar with Liang Yue. After a stalemate with the intelligent brain Xiao Wu for a while, he followed him through the space portal and came to the manor on the northern edge of New York.

Over here, Pepper and Maya Hansen had just sat down for a while, and their British butler was putting on an elegant air to pour tea for them.

Next to them, two maids were pushing a trolley, bringing them snacks and refreshments.

Just then, Liang Yue stepped through the space portal with the Iron Man armor. After landing and standing still, Jarvis opened the armor, and Stark inside immediately softened and fell out.

Immediately afterward, Liang Yue used his spiritual power to float him, nourishing and repairing him while wrapping him and bringing him to the living room. The Iron Man armor behind him followed step by step under Jarvis's control.

Pepper and Maya Hansen on the other side had already quickly greeted him.

"Tony!"

Suddenly seeing the dog tycoon's embarrassed appearance, Pepper couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands at this time, and her pair of eyes, which had just been wiped dry, visibly became wet again~

"He's fine, his body is just a little weak, plus he has neurasthenia. Also, the stimulation may have been a bit too much when he was attacked before, and he couldn't take it, so he fainted.

But I remember, didn't I send you two sets of gene therapy pods? How could his body end up in this state, like he hasn't slept for weeks."

Liang Yue asked with some doubt at this time.

"Before this, Tony hadn't rested well for more than two months. He locked himself in the laboratory all day, ignoring everything, and was researching the armor day and night."

Hearing someone's words, Pepper looked at Stark floating beside her with a distressed expression, and gently stroked his old face with bloodstains.

"I understand, this guy must be racking his brains to deal with me, afraid that one day I will suddenly become the Great Demon King who wants to destroy the earth, so he is making contingency plans in advance."

Looking at the peaceful-looking Sh*t Da Li at this time, Liang Yue curled his lips to express his understanding.
