Canada, military base.

A large amount of dense fog surrounds the base, bringing a touch of mystery to this otherwise ordinary base.

These dense fogs have appeared since yesterday, and have continued for a whole day without any signs of dissipating. Obviously, ordinary weather phenomena cannot explain it.

"How is the situation?"

And one kilometer away from the base, in a camp area that can be clearly seen as a temporary construction, the general appeared in it with a straight face.

The vote in the Capitol will last all night, but it is obvious that the general cannot spend time spending time with the short-sighted politicians.

Unlike these speculators who can't understand the actual situation, the general knows that the situation at the base is not optimistic.

The scp foundation occupying the military base is certainly a problem, but the bigger problem is the huge petrified monster in the base or the [Holy Lord] that the wizard said.

The general knew that if the so-called containment operation of the Foundation fails, what happens next will be a huge disaster that Canada will find difficult to face.And at this critical juncture of life and death in this country, the group of damn politicians in the Capitol are still in the mood to vote.

Thinking that Canada's future would actually be in the hands of the insatiable politicians, the general's uneasy feeling in his heart was obviously more serious.

"Reporter, we have used drones to conduct reconnaissance work on the base, but the results are not satisfactory."

Facing the general's inquiry, a soldier with the appearance of a non-commissioned officer stood up and reported.

“The thick fog that appeared outside the base blocked the drone’s camera vision, and as long as the drone had lowered the shooting, it would be destroyed by the current impact. After sacrificing dozens of drones, we only shot There are some blurry pictures."

The drone described by the sergeant is not a simple drone used by ordinary people.

As a drone used by the military, both in the compactness of the machine and in the shooting pixels, it far exceeds that of the civilian machine, and it can also be modified with an appropriate amount of weapons to fight. Of course, such a drone device is also in terms of price. The same is true.

Therefore, the loss of dozens of UAVs is in fact not a big loss for the Canadian military.

"Bring out the picture and have a look."

Although he felt heartache about the loss of the drone, the general knew that it was not the time to care about it now.

Compared with the loss of the machine, he is more concerned about what kind of picture the drone had taken from the military base before it was damaged.

"Oh, sir!"

Facing the general's order, the non-commissioned officer turned his head to look at the soldier who was aside without hesitation, and the latter nodded and tapped on the computer keyboard in the camp for a while.Soon, a few visibly blurry and shaky shots appeared on the computer screens in the camp.

Although most of these shots were blurry or even unrecognizable due to the shaking of the lens, the general still got a glimpse of the situation in the base at this moment through a few of the clear images.

Compared with the situation when they withdrew from the base, the appearance of the military base has obviously changed greatly at this time. The most obvious one is the tall buildings built around the [Holy Lord], you can see A large number of people in white research uniforms are surrounding the building, all kinds of weird devices in their hands are doing something to the [Holy Lord].

At the same time, a large group of serious men in black suits were doing patrols in the base in an orderly manner.

The sudden appearance of many mysterious personnel in the military base made the general frown, but what surprised him more was the huge building in the picture.

After all, it is less than a day before they withdrew from the base, and the location of [Holy Lord] a day ago was still in the ruins of the original military building, which means that the scp foundation was in less than a day Within time, a huge building was successfully constructed.

"Is this the energy that the scp foundation has?"

In the temporary camp, the general looked at the blurred image on the computer, but the expression on his face was somewhat complicated.

Until this moment, he clearly realized the power of the scp foundation as a mysterious organization.

...

New York, Avengers Building.

Because of the news passed by [Uncle Long], the tension within the Avengers has been relieved a lot.

Although deep in my heart, I still feel a little uneasy about the containment of the scp Foundation, but the Avengers decided to hand the [Holy Lord] to the Foundation for processing. After all, if it is from the containment of anomalous creatures, the Fund The meeting is professional, and it can be seen from the description of the Foundation containment expert [Uncle Long] that they have found a way to contain [Holy Lord].

Bang, bang—

Bang bang!

Avengers Building, underground base.

Tony is wearing boxing gloves with both hands, and is constantly making boxing moves against the sandbag in front of him.

Although as Iron Man, most of his combat power comes from the steel suit, Tony did not relax his physical strength training because of this.

After all, no matter how strong the steel suit is, there will eventually be occasions where it cannot be used or damaged, and what he does is to maintain his strength as much as possible under such circumstances, at least until the second steel suit arrives at the battle scene.

"You seem to be upset, Mr. Stark?"

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind Tony who was thinking about boxing.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Vision appear in the boxing ring in a floating posture.

"Huh, huh~"

Stopping his boxing, Tony gasped and glanced at the vision that appeared behind him, and took off the boxing gloves in his hand with some effort. Tony picked up the water next to him and took a sip to replenish the missing water in his body. Sweeping his gaze over the yellow gemstone on the forehead of Vision and said, "Is this also what the power of the soul gem tells you? It's really a convenient ability."

"Do not."

However, facing Tony's sigh, Vision unexpectedly shook his head.

"Even without the power of gems, I can clearly feel that Mr. Stark's mood at this moment is unusual."

As he spoke, his vision swept across the boxing gloves that Tony dropped casually on the ground. The gem on his forehead shone through and saw the glove float under an invisible force and land where it should have been.

"Ok……"

Looking back from the floating boxing gloves, Tony shrugged upon hearing Vision's answer: "It seems that I am too obvious."

Putting down the water in his hand, the expression on Tony's face was a little confused: "I just have some...some...It is clear that the Avengers have worked hard to protect everything we cherish, but the challenge seems to never end. I I originally thought that when artificial intelligence appeared, everything would be changed, but I successfully created Ultron, but the result was no different."

Seeing Tony's confused look before him, there was a flash of light in the vision of the vision, and then he said silently: "In fact, during this period of time, I have been observing the development of everything and came to a calculation conclusion, since Stark Sir, after you announced your identity as Iron Man to the public, the number of publicly-identified superheroes began to increase dramatically. Both the League of Defenders and the Fantastic Four appeared in front of everyone, but at the same time, there was destruction. The number of possible events in the world also shows an upward trend in the same proportion..."

"You mean, it's all because of us?"

Facing the analysis of the vision, Tony immediately reflected the meaning of his words.

"What I mean is that there may be some kind of causality. The existence of superheroes attracts challenges and crimes, and crimes stimulate further conflicts, and conflicts eventually bred into terrible disasters."

"The appearance of the scp foundation also confirms this from the side. According to all the information, it can be known that the foundation was originally hidden among the public, and it has always maintained a low-key style of behavior. Even the information cannot be detected, but it is frequently abnormal. The incident has forced them to appear in front of the public. This situation, or represents more and more anomalous events in the world, has made the scp foundation no longer able to maintain a secretive behavior style like in the past."

"It's like a cycle, a vicious circle."

Facing the analysis of illusion, Tony used a simpler conclusion to answer.

Superheroes surround the earth, but it is precisely because of their existence that those ambitious must use more powerful means to realize their ambitions and even commit crimes.

In that simple example, if the weapon in the hands of the Order is knives and guns, then the most attacks that criminals can use are knives and guns, but if those who fight criminals become superheroes with extraordinary powers, then these criminals’ methods It also became a variety of extraordinary powers.

"This is really a wonderful irony."

Tony didn't think about the possibility proposed by Vision, but he knew that once the possibility was established, it would be a big blow to all superheroes.

They worked hard to fight criminals, but they themselves became the source of everything.

"Tony, there is a situation!"

In the underground base, the conversation between Tony and Vision hadn't ended yet, and suddenly he saw Steve frowning and coming to the boxing training ground with a serious face.

...

"Come on, Captain, what happened?"

A few minutes later, all the members of the Avengers who were still in the Avengers Mansion gathered in the room.

Tony asked Steve, who was serious, while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Facing Tony's question, Steve's eyes met Agent Hill who was also in the room.

"Let me do it."

Immediately afterwards, Nick Fury with the same solemn expression slowly spoke.

"I received news from the White House not long ago. After the Pentagon has assessed everything, it seems that they do not agree with our suggestions. They think that the threat of [Holy Lord] is too great, and that Canada is too close to America. If [ The Holy Lord] threatened America would cause an unbearable blow, so they decided to preemptively."

"Preemptive strike?!"

Hearing the news of Nick Fury, Tony frowned immediately.

"what do you mean?"

At the same time, Nick Fury also nodded and said: "In fact, from an intelligence perspective, the White House has ordered an aircraft carrier battleship group to go to Canada, and at the same time mobilized a force to the direction of the military base. , Ready to use powerful firepower to directly attack [Holy Lord] with firepower."

"Fire strike, haven't they thought about it, in case this is the possible consequence of the failure of the attack method?"

"Obviously, the American military does not think they will fail."

"Canada, don't they have any reaction?"

"All actions are based on military exercises. Canada has raised objections. However, the United States, which has clearly made a decision, does not care about some protests. Moreover, there are already many Canadian parliamentarians who have relations with the United States. With their help, even if the Canadian government has opinions, it cannot form an effective means of opposition."

The White House's reaction was obviously beyond the expectations of the Avengers, but it was reasonable in some ways.

After all, from the history of war development in the United States, it can be seen that the last thing the United States wants to see in all wars is war or destruction in the United States.

Whether it was World War II or Pearl Harbor.

Once the danger touches the mainland, the United States will naturally participate in the war, whether it wants it or not.

At the same time, war is also a good reason to divert people’s venting within the United States. Over this period of time, the frequent super crimes in the United States have caused the people to have a great crisis of trust in the government. The White House clearly feels his own The polls are going straight.

Although he has entered the second half of his second term, he does not want his exit performance to be too miserable, and what happened in Canada has undoubtedly become a means to consolidate people's hearts in his hands.

Canada is definitely too close to America. At the same time, although Canada has tried to block the intelligence of the [Holy Lord], it still has not escaped the espionage means of the United States. After knowing the possible threats [Holy Lord], the United States naturally does not May turn a blind eye.

In addition, under such threats, the hawks within the American military have brought the best conditions for launching a war. The same well-informed arms dealers also hope that the battle will take place, and it is only natural to send troops under several combinations.

What's more, what is going to be hit this time is not a certain country, but a huge monster that threatens the world. Therefore, the United States does not even need to perform pretentious performance.
