Chapter 241 Space Cosmic Storm

Pouting his lips, Johnny gave up on any further plans to chat with Reed.

Such a boring guy who only thinks about work, no wonder his sister broke up with him.

Shaking his head, his topic quickly turned to the recent giant monster in Chinatown.

"...I suspect that it was a biochemical weapon secretly developed by the government, but it accidentally got out of control, so I had to send members of the Avengers to help. A buddy of mine took a picture of that time. Can you imagine a Did such a tall monster appear in Chinatown out of thin air? There must be a conspiracy..."

"If you are interested in paying attention to these random news, you might as well concentrate on the next space mission."

Ben frowned, looked at Johnny who looked plausibly, and said patiently.

"Our task this time is not easy."

"I know." Meeting Ben's eyes, Johnny shrugged and raised his eyebrows as usual: "In order to cooperate with this mission, I haven't dated for more than a week."

"Huh~"

Johnny's careless look instantly ignited Ben's long-suppressed anger.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Susan on the side quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"Johnny, go get ready first."

"Okay." After looking at each other, Johnny shrugged, shook his head and left.

Susan looked at the back of him turning around, and then said to Ben beside him: "Sorry, Ben, you know, Johnny has been this stupid since he was a child. However, his nature is not bad, he just goes his own way. "

"I know."

Because of Susan's comfort, Ben's originally explosive emotions gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath to suppress the depression in his heart, and replied with a wry smile: "I was too impulsive." As Reed's friend, Ben didn't want to If it affects Reed's research because of himself, it's just a mission anyway.

Ben secretly made up his mind to endure this mission for the sake of his friend Reed. Then, whoever wants to do missions with him can do it. Anyway, he will not do it a second time.

…

In the vast universe, a spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and connected with the space station staying in the universe.

This space station is Victor von Doom's private space station, which is specially used to study changes in the stars in the universe. It is also one of the reasons why Reed found him.

With budget cuts in government departments, he can't rely on the other party's space station if he wants to observe the changes in the cosmic storm up close.

"There are still nine hours left before the space cosmic storm is created."

In the space station, Reed was a little excited. He would soon be exposed to the cosmic storm he had dreamed of.

"Honestly, what's so good about this kind of thing?"

Turning his head and looking at the vast universe outside the space station, Johnny said absently.

Compared to this kind of space mission, he prefers hot girls on Earth.

"The storm contains a large amount of data. Through the study of cosmic storms, we can decipher the secrets of genetic genes. All life phenomena such as the growth, growth, decline, disease, old age, and death of organisms are related to genes. As long as we can decipher Once the message is revealed, mankind will enter a new era, a world where there are no more diseases and a world of new genetic humans."

"Great idea."

Facing the impassioned Reed, Johnny shrugged and poured cold water on him: "Only if your theory is correct."

To be honest, Johnny didn't think Reed's experiment could succeed.

"My theory is absolutely correct."

To this, Reed gave a decisive answer.

…

Here, the space cosmic storm is coming.

On the other side, in the box on the lower floor of the spacecraft that no one noticed, a wisp of yellow sand flowed out, gradually forming an earthy human shape.

"So, this is outer space?"

Open your yellow eyes made of sand,

Looking at the surrounding environment, Li Ran's, no, Sha's clone's expression was a little confused.

As a businessman, Victor von Doom naturally cannot conduct space experiments in obscurity.

In fact, from the moment he decided to invest in Reed, major newspapers in New York had already hyped up this space mission.

As long as Reed can make any breakthrough in the space storm, Victor von Doom will gain a lot of fame and most importantly, money. Researchers like Reed, who only have experiments in mind, have never discovered how much wealth lies behind the research he conducted.

Controlling the sand clone, he walked around in the spaceship.

As a human being, being able to walk in outer space is undoubtedly an exciting thing.

However, all this seems less important than the upcoming plan.

…

"Man, I have a sincere suggestion for you, that is, tell your good buddy to stop trying to get back together with my sister."

At the hatch of the space station, Johnny spoke while dressing Ben in a space suit for his upcoming mission in outer space.

"Of course not, it's all just for work."

Although Ben was vaguely aware that Reed still had some unresolved feelings for Susan, from the perspective of a good friend, he naturally couldn't just admit it and replied with a look of unwillingness to be outdone.

"Look at the way that guy looks at my sister, I don't want her to be like you said, only work."

Thinking of Reed's hesitant appearance in front of Susan, even Ben did not cover it up anymore. He could only helplessly defend: "The last time they broke up, neither of them were as free and easy as they appeared. Maybe Susan I still have feelings for Reed.”

"Let me give you a brief analysis, buddy." Handing the prepared plant sample to Ben's hand, Johnny nodded and replied: "On one side is the billionaire and best boyfriend of the year, Victor von Doom. , and on the other side is Reed, the stupidest smart guy in the world, who is worth less than a stamp. This is really a difficult choice to make."

"Emotions are not just about status."

"So, tell me buddy, if you were my sister, which side would you choose?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ben abruptly changed the subject.

"We didn't come to outer space to discuss these things. Open the hatch and I'm about to go on a mission."

"Listen to you man."

Shrugging his shoulders, Johnny immediately returned his attention to the work at hand. Although he was a little out of tune, he still had a sense of work.

Pressing the button, the hatch in front of Ben quickly fell down, isolating him from the outside.

…

Reed and others who were walking in the space station and concentrating on the space mission had no idea at all.

Inside the space station, an uninvited guest appeared that no one expected.

In the antique shop, Li Ran concentrated on controlling the clone and shuttled through the space station.

Because of the distance, he could clearly feel that the chakra connection between himself and the clone became quite weak.

Even if you are not careful, the clone in the space station will collapse.

Sure enough, relying solely on the power of the sand clone is still a bit too difficult.

Shaking his head, he gave up the plan of using the sand clone again. With a change of thought, Li Ran put [B-level card - Kaz] online.

As the power of the ultimate creature emerged, the clone originally condensed from the yellow sand quickly transformed into a tall, long-haired man.

Twisting his neck, [Kaz] turned his head to see clearly the environment outside the space station through his vision comparable to an astronomical telescope. A cold smile appeared on his handsome and inhuman face: "The universe is really a world." What a disgusting place.”

…

"Beep, beep, warning, warning..."

"There are still 9 minutes and 34 seconds left before the critical point of the space storm arrives."

In the experimental control room of the space station, Reed was brought back from his thoughts by the constant warnings. He looked at the time told by the computer, and his originally calm expression suddenly became panicked.

"How is it possible! Why is there such a serious deviation in the time of the cosmic storm!"

Facing the time told by the computer, Reed murmured: "Shouldn't there be still seven hours of preparation time?"

The speed of the cosmic storm came earlier than the time calculated by Reed. Looking at the decreasing time, the expression on Reed's face became hesitant, but he quickly became firm again.

"The speed of the cosmic storm has accelerated!"

Arriving at the central control room, Reed said to Susan and Victor who were there: "If we go at the current speed, we will encounter a cosmic storm in a few minutes, not a few hours as originally expected. Victor, we must terminate this mission, encountering a cosmic storm head-on is enough to kill us."

Although Reed hoped in his heart that this outer space project would succeed more than anyone else, he still had to make the decision to give up in the face of the impending crisis.

"Calm down, Reed."

Looking at Susan, Victor obviously disagreed with Reed's decision to terminate the mission. For this space mission, he invested a lot of money and made publicity. If he just ended the experiment and went back in despair, You can imagine how badly his career will suffer.

"We can't give up completely because of such a small situation and just close the protective shield."

The protective shield is an alien technology that Victor von Doom obtained from the government through various relationships. He paid a huge cost for this, but it also made this outer space mission safer. After all, he came to outer space to gain fame and capital, not to lose his life.

"But Ben is still out there on a mission."

"Then call him back."

Although Reed was the planner of this flight experiment, Victor was the actual leader of the space station. Faced with Victor's decisive reply, Reed had to give up the idea of ​​persuading the other party to terminate the mission, and immediately began to save his own Friend, Ben.

"Victor, Reed is right, we only have six minutes left."

Susan's fingers clicked quickly on the keyboard, and she quickly confirmed that the results told by Reid were not wrong.

"What are you doing, Victor!"

Looking up and looking at the approaching cosmic storm, the originally indifferent expression on Victor's face began to change. He silently pushed Susan away from the computer and pressed the start button of the protective shield without any hesitation. .

"Reed and the others are still outside, you will kill them if you do this."

"But the shields will at least save us."

"No, just saving you."

Susan looked at her boyfriend who seemed to have become a different person in front of her, gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the central control room.

She couldn't just watch others being isolated outside the shield, not only Reed, but also her brother Johnny.

"You can't do anything even if you go out!"

"But, at least I tried."

Looking at Susan's back as she turned to leave, Victor struggled for a moment with an expression on his face, but in the end he chose to stay in the control room.

In the control room, the protective shield was activated, and the blue energy shield enveloped the entire central control room.

The next second, a red space cosmic storm swept across the entire space station.

The violent cosmic ray radiation instantly swept through the bodies of everyone in the spacecraft, including Victor in the central control room.

Bang——

…

"Victor, I want to congratulate you."

In the conference room, shareholders held up the documents in their hands, looked at Victor opposite, and said coldly: "The bank wants to congratulate you. The steepest decline since the Great Depression. The losses are already comparable to those of Stark before." The industry has declined since the war industry was shut down. Now, even if you give me your stocks, I won’t take them unless you are the next Tony Stark, but obviously, you are not..."

"You must undo this, Victor von Doom, or we will have to withdraw."

Facing the aggressive attitude of the shareholders on the board of directors, Victor didn't look very good.

Although he and Reed's team successfully returned from outer space, they were fortunate not to die due to the sweeping space storm.

However, the accident on the space station also caused a huge loss to Victor's hard-earned reputation. Today, Reed and his team are still lying in the hospital due to the space storm. Although he was not affected under the protection of the protective shield, his career has also suffered a huge blow.

"But I didn't gain anything."

After a moment of silence, Victor spoke with difficulty and retorted to everyone on the board of directors.

"You mean that meteorite?"

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and one of the board shareholders who was not dealing with Victor said with a cold face: "Victor, do you really think that just relying on a meteorite that can be seen everywhere in space can save you?" Is it the loss caused by the company?”

"One week, I'll give you another week. If you can't come up with any rescue plan, then don't blame me for being unkind, Victor."

After saying this, the members of the board of directors left the meeting room one after another.

Victor was left alone and silent.

Zizzi~

Victor twitched the corners of his mouth, and the next moment, the lights in the conference room suddenly flickered.
