Chapter 508 A Sudden Turn of Events

Canada, military base.

A large amount of thick fog surrounded the base, giving this originally ordinary base a mysterious touch.

These thick fogs began to appear yesterday and lasted all day without any sign of dissipating. It is obviously not something that can be explained by ordinary weather phenomena.

"How's the situation?"

One kilometer away from the base, in what was clearly a temporary camp, the general appeared with a straight face.

The voting in the Capitol will last all night, but it is obviously impossible for the general to waste time there with those short-sighted politicians.

Unlike these speculators who have no idea of ​​the actual situation, the general is well aware 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 giant petrified monster in the base or the [Holy Lord] in the mouth of the mage.

The general knew that if the Foundation's so-called containment operation failed, what would happen next would become a huge disaster that would be difficult for Canada to face. And at this critical moment of life and death for the country, those damn politicians in the Capitol are still in the mood to hold a so-called vote.

When he thought that Canada's future was actually going to be in the hands of those greedy politicians, the general's already uneasy mood became obviously a little heavier.

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

Facing the general's inquiry, a soldier who looked like a noncommissioned officer immediately stood up and reported.

"The thick fog that appeared outside the base blocked the drone's camera view, and as long as the drone lowered its shooting position, it would be destroyed by the current shock. After sacrificing dozens of drones, we only shot Got some blurry images.”

The drone the sergeant mentioned was not a simple drone used by ordinary people.

As a drone used by the military, both the compactness of the machine and the shooting pixels are far superior to civilian machines, and it can also be modified and equipped with appropriate weapons for combat. Of course, such a drone device is also expensive in terms of price. Same thing.

Therefore, the loss of dozens of drones is actually a moderate loss for the Canadian military.

“Bring up the screen and take a look.

"

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

Compared with the loss of the machine, what he was more concerned about was what kind of pictures the drone captured from inside the military base before it was damaged.

"As you command, sir!"

Facing the general's order, the noncommissioned officer turned to look at the soldier on the side without hesitation, and the latter immediately nodded and typed on the computer keyboard in the camp for a while. Soon, several obviously blurry and shaky pictures appeared on the computer screen in the camp.

Although most of these captured images were blurry or even unrecognizable due to the shaking of the camera, through some of the relatively clear images, the general still had a glimpse of the situation in the base at the moment.

Compared with the situation when they withdrew from the base before, the appearance of the military base has obviously changed greatly at this time. The most obvious one is naturally the tall buildings built around the [Holy Lord]. You can see Inside the building, a large number of people wearing white research uniforms were surrounding them, with various weird devices in their hands doing something to the [Holy Lord].

At the same time, there was a large group of men in black suits with serious expressions who were patrolling 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 even more was the huge building in the picture.

After all, it is less than a day since they withdrew from the base, and a day ago the location of the [Holy Lord] was still a ruins of a military building. In other words, the SCP Foundation has been able to survive in less than a day. Within a short period of time, a huge building was successfully constructed.

"Is this the power the SCP Foundation has?"

In the temporary camp, the general looked at the blurry image on the computer, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

It was only at this moment that he clearly realized the power of the SCP Foundation as a mysterious organization.

…

New York, Avengers Tower.

Because of the news delivered by [Uncle Long], the tense atmosphere within the Avengers Alliance has been relieved a lot.

Although deep down, they are still a little uneasy about the containment of the SCP Foundation, the Avengers tentatively decided to hand over the [Holy Lord] to the Foundation. After all, if it cannot contain abnormal creatures, the Foundation It can be seen from the description of the foundation's containment expert [Uncle Long] that they have found a way to contain the [Holy Lord] at all.

Bang, bang——

Bang bang!

Avengers Tower, underground base.

Tony was wearing boxing gloves on both hands and was constantly making boxing movements against the punching bag in front of him.

Although as Iron Man, most of his combat power comes from the iron suit, Tony has not slackened on his physical training.

After all, no matter how powerful the steel suit is, there will be times when it cannot be used or is damaged, and what he does is to try to maintain his combat power under such circumstances, at least until the second steel suit arrives at the scene of the battle.

"You seem a little uneasy, Mr. Stark?"

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind Tony, who was focused on boxing.

Immediately afterwards, Vision appeared in the boxing ring in a floating posture.

"Hoo, hoo~"

Stopping his boxing, Tony gasped and glanced at Vision who appeared behind him. He took off the boxing gloves with some difficulty. Tony picked up the water next to him and took a sip to replenish the missing water in his body. He glanced at the yellow gem on Vision's forehead and said, "Is this what the power of the mind gem told you? It's really a convenient ability."

"No."

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

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

As he spoke, Vision glanced at the boxing gloves that Tony had thrown down on the ground. The gem on his forehead flashed and he saw that the gloves floated up under an invisible force and landed where they should have been.

"All right……"

Looking away from the floating boxing gloves, Tony shrugged when he heard Vision's answer: "It seems that it was too obvious for me."

Putting down the water in his hand, Tony had a rare expression of confusion on his face: "I'm just a little...somewhat...Obviously the Avengers have worked hard to protect everything we hold dear, but the challenge seems to never end. I I originally thought that everything would change with the emergence of artificial intelligence, but I successfully created Ultron, and the result was no different."

Seeing Tony's confused look in front of him, Vision's eyes flashed, and then he said silently: "In fact, during this period of time, I have been observing the development of everything and came to a calculated conclusion. Since Stark Sir, after you announced your identity as Iron Man to the public, the number of superheroes with public identities began to grow rapidly. Both the Defenders and the Fantastic Four appeared in front of everyone because of this. But at the same time, there was destruction. The number of possible events in the world has also increased in proportion..."

"You mean, this is all because of us?"

Faced with Vision's analysis, Tony immediately reflected the meaning of his words.

"What I'm saying is that there may be some causation, where the existence of superheroes attracts challenges and crimes, and crime inspires further conflict, which ultimately breeds horrific disasters."

"The emergence of the SCP Foundation also confirms this point from the side. According to all the information, it can be known that the Foundation was originally hidden among the public and has always maintained a low-key style of behavior. Even the information cannot be detected. However, frequent anomalies occur. The incident forced them to appear in front of the public. This situation may also represent the increasing number of abnormal events in the world, which has made the SCP Foundation no longer able to maintain the secretive style of conduct as in the past."

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

Faced with Vision's analysis, Tony answered with a simpler conclusion.

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

As a simple example, if the weapons in the hands of the Order are knives and guns, then the most attacks that criminals can use are also knives and guns, but if those who fight criminals become superheroes with extraordinary powers, then the methods of these criminals It also turned into various extraordinary powers.

"This is really a wonderful irony."

It's not that Tony hasn't thought about the possibility raised by Vision, but he knows very well that once this possibility is established, it will be a big blow to all superheroes.

They work hard to fight criminals, but they themselves become the cause of everything.

"Tony, there's a situation!"

In the underground base, the conversation between Tony and Vision had not ended when he suddenly saw Steve coming to the boxing training ground with a frown on his face and a serious look on his face.

…

"Tell me, Captain, what happened?"

A few minutes later, all the Avengers who were still in Avengers Tower gathered in the room.

Tony asked Steve with a serious expression while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

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

"Let me tell you."

Immediately afterwards, Nick Fury, who also had a solemn expression, slowly spoke.

“I got news from the White House not long ago. After the Pentagon has evaluated everything, it seems that they do not agree with the suggestions we have made. They believe that the threat from [Holy Lord] is too great, and Canada is too close to the United States. If [Holy Lord] is too close, The threat from the Holy Lord would be an unbearable blow to the United States, so they decided to strike preemptively."

"Preemptive strike?!"

Tony's brows immediately furrowed when he heard the news about Nick Fury.

"you mean?"

At the same time, Nick Fury nodded and said: "In fact, from the intelligence point of view, the White House has ordered the dispatch of an aircraft carrier battleship group to Canada, and also mobilized a troop to rush to the direction of the military base. , prepare to use powerful firepower to directly launch a fire attack on [Holy Lord]."

"Fire strike, haven't they thought about the possible consequences if this attack method fails?"

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

"What about Canada? Don't they have any reaction?"

"All actions were taken on the grounds of military exercises, and Canada objected. However, the United States, which has already made its decision, obviously does not care about some protests. Moreover, there are many Canadian parliamentarians who have relations with the United States. With their fueling the situation, even if the Canadian government has opinions, it will not be able to form effective means of opposition."

The White House's reaction was obviously beyond the Avengers' expectations, but to a certain extent it was reasonable.

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

Whether it was World War II or Pearl Harbor.

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

At the same time, the war is also a good reason for the United States to divert people's outlets for venting. The frequent super crimes in the United States during this period have caused a huge crisis of trust in the government. The person in the White House clearly feels that his Polls are plummeting.

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 in his hands to consolidate people's hearts.

Canada is too close to the United States. At the same time, although Canada has tried hard to block the information about [Holy Lord], it still has not escaped the espionage methods of the United States. After knowing the possible threats [Holy Lord] may bring, the United States naturally cannot May turn a blind eye.

In addition, under such a threat, the hawks within the U.S. military have brought the best conditions for launching a war. The same well-informed arms dealers also hope that a battle will occur. The combination of these factors is a matter of course.

What's more, what is being attacked this time is not a certain country, but a huge monster that threatens the world, so the United States does not even need to show off.
