New York, Cliff House.

With a burst of rapid breathing, Tony wakes up from his sleep.

His face was pale and he obviously had a bad dream.

"Sir, your sleep has not been very good recently."

Noting Tony's state, Jarvis made a reminder.

"I know."

Wiping away the cold sweat from his face with a towel, Tony looked at his nearly pale face in front of the mirror, and replied with a weak look.

In fact, since the New York War, his condition has not been very good.

Although the result of the New York War finally ended with the victory of the Avengers members, everything experienced during the period was constantly reminded and warned Tony of the dangers facing humanity.Especially afterwards, David Jones, who appeared in Upper New York Bay, and the sacrifices of the Turtle Fairy told Tony one by one how much danger the world was facing.

He tried to save all this, but obviously the result was not as expected.

The strength displayed by the opponent always seems to be stronger than he wants.

And Tony has been immersed in the training of the stone ghost face recently, and it is not that he wants to use this to divert his attention and avoid his thoughts.

"But I just fell asleep."

Turning his head and glanced at the direction of the bed, Tony gave up his plan to lie back again, turned and went to the basement of the villa, looked at the steel suits full of the room, and said casually.

"Sir, according to my diagnosis, what you have now is obviously characteristic of anxiety, and it is already a situation of severe anxiety."

"I?"

In the basement, hearing Jarvis's diagnosis report, Tony's face showed a subconsciously surprised expression.

He, Tony Stark, a billionaire, super genius, and Iron Man, actually had anxiety.

...

Bang--

Luke Cage waved his heavy fist and flew out the dead man in front of him.

However, the damage caused by Luke Cage's heavy blow to the corpse was not as effective as imagined.

He got up from the ground and looked down at the fist marks on his chest. Luke Cage's punch directly broke the three ribs of the dead man's chest.

It's just that this is an obvious and serious injury on ordinary people, but it is only a bruise for the corpse.

With a grin and a roar, the dead corpse rushed towards Luke Cage again without hesitation.

boom!

Controlling the flying posture, Jessica kicked off the neck of a corpse on the other side, frowning and said: "Now, I understand what Joseph Josda reminded, these corpses People are really troublesome guys.” After speaking, Jessica took another look at the dead man who was kicked off in front of him. Even if he suffered such severe damage, this guy still stood up stubbornly and pressed himself against him. The neck was still bent to a hundred and eighty degrees, and he leaped toward her.

The power of the iron fist directly smashed the head of the dead corpse in front of him. Danny looked at the dead corpse who had fallen completely after losing his head with a solemn expression. His expression was not very good.

"Don't you find that since the last few days, more and more corpses have been born?"

This is not the first time the members of the Defenders have fought with dead corpses. In fact, since a few days ago, they have taken the initiative to find hidden dead corpses in the Hell's Kitchen.

However, since yesterday, Danny has clearly felt that the number of corpses encountered by the defenders has obviously increased.

"In fact, I also feel this way."

Raising his hand, grabbing the head of a dead man on the opposite side, ignoring the other's bite, Luke Cage squeezed the other's head with one hand, his expression also became solemn.

This is not a good phenomenon. The increase in the number of corpses may not be too serious for the defenders, but it is obviously a huge threat to the ordinary people living in Hell's Kitchen.After all, not everyone can think of them at a glance, and can ignore the attacks of corpses.

Even if, according to Joseph Josda, the corpse infected by the vampire no longer has the ability to infect other people.However, don't forget that the main way for corpses to survive is to eat corpses. In a sense, the existence of corpses is even more frightening and dangerous than vampires.

Jessica frowned, glanced at Luke Cage's hand that squeezed the head of the dead person, subconsciously stepped aside, and then turned to look at Matt on the other side. The blind lawyer performed The power of the ripples easily melted and wiped out the corpses who had attacked around him, and his expression was somewhat envious.

"Sure enough, ripples are the most effective means of attack against corpses."

After learning the power of ripples, Matt's attack on the dead man can be described as deadly, and it is obviously much more efficient than the other members of the defender.

"After all, this is the strength that Baron Shepili has learned from Penglai after all the hardships."

Raising his hand to block the attack of the previous corpse, and then a left uppercut knocked the opponent into the air, accompanied by a heavy landing, Luke Cage raised his eyebrows and said: "And, if you If you are interested in Ripple's practice, you can go to Matt or Joseph Josta to study again."

"forget it."

Avoiding the attack of the dead man and flying into the air, Jessica waved his fist and punched the head of the dead man below him into the body, and said, "If I could learn it, I would have been by the river before. Learned."

Jessica knew very well that although the so-called ripple power was good, she obviously had no relationship with herself.

"Ripple walks fast~"

Adjusting his breathing, using the last weak ripple force in his body to melt the corpse in front of him.

Matt gasped heavily. After all, his contact with ripples was too short-lived. Although relying on his super senses, he quickly understood the power of ripples, but he wanted to truly use the power of ripples. , It will take some time to practice.

Fortunately, Matt was not the only one fighting the corpse in front of him. Relying on the assistance of the defenders, they finally eliminated all the corpses in front of them.

However, the immediate victory did not make the defenders feel much excited.

"There are more and more dead people."

Adjusting his breath, Matt said solemnly: "This is not a good phenomenon."

"I have actually found a clue about this."

Just when the members of the defenders were worried.

Joseph Josta's voice sounded, and immediately after that, the weather-beaten vampire hunter dragged a tall and thin figure covered with bruises and appeared in front of the defender.

Using his right hand, he threw the figure in front of Matt and the others. Joseph Josta pointed to the tall and thin figure and said, "This is what I have been looking for, the servant of the Vampire King, I think It should be able to tell you why there are so many dead people in New York."

[From the legend of the brave man...]

[From the legend of Jessica Jones...]

[From Danny...]

[From the legend of Luke Cage...]

"Servant of the Vampire King?"

Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at the wounded guy in front of her. If it hadn't been for Joseph Josta personally said, she would never have thought that such a scarred existence would be a vampire.

"Cough, cough, cough cough—"

Lying on the ground, coughing loudly, the lanky figure opened his red eyes and swept the defenders in front of him, and finally fell on Joseph Josda behind him, grinning to reveal his sharpness. His teeth hoarsely said: "Joseph Josta, have you forgotten how your master died in the hands of Lord Dior, and finally survived, but now, he is still looking for Go to Lord Dior to die..."

"About this, don't bother you."

Facing the ridicule of the tall and thin man, Joseph Josda lifted his foot expressionlessly, and used the rippled power to directly melt one of the opponent's hands. Only then did he coldly face the opponent's screams and continue. The interrogation said: "Now, you just need to tell me why Dior let you come to New York."

"Do you think I will tell you, Joseph Josta?"

Biting his teeth, making a hideous expression, the thin man replied hoarsely.

"You can choose not to say it."

Silently hanging his feet on the lanky man's head, Joseph Josda began to make a silent threat: "Then. Next, my ripples will not fall on your hands, but... …"

"Okay, I say, I say!"

Feeling the fatal threat from his head, the thin and tall man’s pale face suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth and shouted: “It’s Jiuyou. Because of Jiuyou’s affairs, Lord Dior arranged for me to come to New York and meet Jinhe. And give the stone ghost face to Jin Bin."

"Jiuyou? Stone Ghost Noodle!"

[From the legend of the brave man...]

[From the legend of Jessica Jones...]

[From Danny...]

[From the legend of Luke Cage...]

What the thin tall man said caused a sudden change in the expressions of the members of the defender. They did not expect that the appearance of the vampire was actually related to Jiuyou, let alone the existence of Jin Bin.

"Joseph Josta, I've told you everything, you should..."

After talking about everything he knew, the tall and thin man hurriedly shouted to Joseph Josda behind him.

However, what responded to him was a heavy blow carried by Joseph Josta with ripple power.

"You deceived me...Joseph Joe...Star..."

Under the power of the ripples, the thin and tall man's body quickly melted, but he still yelled at Joseph Josta with resentment.

"I never said that I will let you go."

Facing the question of the tall and thin man, Joseph Josta replied with a cold face and expressionless face.

At this moment, the cold image of the vampire hunter was fully revealed in front of the defenders.

...

"So, Steel Patriot?"

Looking back from the TV ridicule of Colonel James, Tony looked at the friend in front of him and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Can you tell me how you feel now?"

With a wry smile, Colonel James shrugged helplessly in the face of Tony's ridicule: "They think Gears of War sounds a bit too combative."

If possible, Colonel James actually doesn’t like the name Steel Patriot very much. Unfortunately, although he became a War Machine or the controller of the Steel Patriot as a friend of Tony, he has no actual naming rights. Can only passively accept orders from the military and even the Pentagon behind.

"James, tell me, what on earth is all this going on?"

The name change of the battle armor was not for no reason. In fact, the reason why the White House chose to change the name of the steel battle armor at this time was to suppress the recent explosions.

"This is confidential, Tony." Colonel James looked a little embarrassed in the face of Tony's questioning.

"Hey, James, do you even want to keep me secret?"

Facing Tony’s emotional card, Colonel James clearly showed hesitation on his face. He struggled a bit before lowering his voice: "In fact, as far as we know, nine explosions have occurred. At present, there are only three cases that the public knows, and the crux of the problem is that we cannot identify how the explosion occurred. There is no bomb shell at the scene..."

"No bomb shell?"

The information that Colonel James had informed gave Tony a little bit of interest in Tony's slack spirit.

"The Pentagon attaches great importance to these explosions. After all, after experiencing New York and the [Flying Dutchman] incident, we all know that the world is no longer as safe as it used to be..."

Tony: "I don't think how safe it was in the past."

Ignoring Tony’s ridicule, Colonel James continued to express the government’s position: “The government needs to re-establish its image to avoid greater panic. For this reason, the source of the explosion must be traced to prevent similar explosions from happening again. New York and the corner of the mouth frequently The incident brought the people’s trust in the government to the lowest point.” At this point, Colonel James hesitated, then lowered his voice again and said to Tony in front of him: “In addition, there was evidence that in the bombing incident. , Someone once called a name called the Holy Lord..."

"Holy Lord?!"

[From Tony Stark's legend...]

"What's wrong, Tony, are you okay?"

Noting the changing expression on Tony's face, Colonel James couldn't help asking.

Hearing his friend's concern, Tony turned his head in silence and looked at the other person: "If the other person has really called the name'Holy Lord', then maybe you are in big trouble."
