The Death Knell

Tony drank a lot of wine during dinner. The beautiful red liquid was produced in Germany from a brand he had never heard of.

His future mother-in-law has been praising him and toasting him. Tony has never heard a word of praise from his father, but Ms. Jasper, who is also a scientist, is not stingy with praise.

Praising his high IQ is the future of mankind. The entire scientific community depends on him to continue to develop. The future is destined to belong to Tony and Cassandra.

As it happened, Tony thought so too.

So he was a little drunk, and even if he heard the sound of tires screeching when vehicles turned at the intersection, it would be difficult for him to react.

Fortunately, the Jasper family has a lot of bodyguards. These bald men, whom Cassandra calls mercenaries, have good tactical skills. They immediately took out their weapons and warned the family who were about to get in the car to avoid them immediately.

It's just that the enemies who came were obviously more elite. They fired from the car windows while the car was flying. The weapons were obviously just submachine guns but they made a sound like a tearing machine. The firepower of the bodyguards was significantly different from that of the opponents.

Two black jeeps, one on the left and one on the right, outflanked them, breaking the line of defense and crashing into the wall of the restaurant. Masked people in dark green uniforms got out of the car one after another. They kept firing, knocking down the bodyguards.

"Long live Hydra!"

The firefight didn't even last more than twenty seconds.

With bullets flying, several people had to hide their heads and escape, and the head of the bodyguard next to Dr. Jasper asked Tony to tell Howard not to kill him, who had just been shot several times and fell down.

The doctor was fine, but he seemed to have twisted his foot and slipped on the stairs in front of the restaurant.

Tony and Cassandra were hiding behind the pillars on the porch of the restaurant, and Cassandra's father had already ran into the restaurant. During dinner, Tony felt that he was a fool who ate soft food, and now it was even more frustrating for him to run away first. disdain.

Hydra, Tony had never seen this legendary terrorist force before, but he didn't feel much fear in his heart, but felt excited, even though the dozens of bodyguards around him had been killed and injured.

Their target was obviously Dr. Jasper, and one of the HYDRA agents who survived the melee probably thought things were going well, so he slowly walked over to her and pointed his weapon at her head.

"You turned your back on our cause, Jasper, you were warned of your end, you sold weapons to our enemies, and now it's time for you and your family to die! Long live Hydra!"

I don't know if it was the effect of the German strong liquor, but Tony felt like a fire was burning in his chest. His heart was beating fast. He felt that he should be able to do something.

"Tony?" Cassandra covered her mouth with a pleading look on her face. She wanted Tony to save her mother.

How could Tony refuse her offer?

"Hide well."

He replied quietly, then rolled out of the bunker in a forward roll, a tactical move he learned from the movies.

The Wilson Group's movies were also much better than the ones his father made when he was young. Tony liked shootout movies and explosion scenes very much, so although his tactical movements at this time were a bit crooked, he still managed to roll onto the bodyguard who fell to the ground. beside.

It's just that he feels that he should not roll down the stairs next time. It doesn't hurt in the movie, but it's completely different in reality...

Pulling out the gun from the bodyguard's hand, he fired at the Hydra from behind. All he could see in front of his eyes was red. Adrenaline or something else almost overwhelmed all his sanity.

Tony had never fired a gun, but he felt that maybe it was the genetics of the arms dealer family or something, and he was very close to weapons.

Gunshots rang out, and the Hydra who was about to execute Dr. Jasper fell down.

Blood splattered on Madam and Tony's faces, and he didn't even think that the blood could spurt out so far from his head.

Mrs. Jasper looked at Tony with some surprise, while Cassandra was ready to cheer. Even her father, who had just returned from the restaurant and asked the restaurant owner to borrow a shotgun, looked at Tony much softer.

But just when everyone thought the crisis was over, another driver suddenly emerged from the jeep coming from Hydra.

"Long live Hydra!"

Then he shot Tony.

"Ah!" Tony felt a heat on his right shoulder, and his body suddenly seemed to lose its balance, falling sideways as if it had been hit by an iron pillar.

"Tony!"

Cassandra, who was still at the door of the restaurant, grabbed the shotgun in her father's hand, screamed and opened fire wildly, killing the last Hydra.

And Tony could only feel his eyes getting darker and darker, his body being held in Cassandra's arms, and police sirens blaring in the distance.

Breathing the air full of gunpowder smoke, he felt so tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

............................

"Your son has been found."

On the roof of a church not far away, a black and yellow mercenary was holding a Big Brother phone and talking on the phone. The previous firefight on the street seemed to him like a child's game.

This long-lost black brick is the 'Personal Mobile Communication Terminal SHIELD Special Edition MK1' invented by Howard. Not only can it be used to make satellite calls to contact people as far away as Washington, but the bottom of the machine also comes with razor and hair dryer functions, which is very convenient. Agents clean up their personal appearance when performing tasks.

Ordinary mobile phones are now very popular in the United States. During the ten years that Su Ming played in the underground maze, Wilson Enterprises was responsible for laying communication base stations and providing information services, while Stark Industries was responsible for manufacturing terminals and sales. This was a good time. Cooperation.

I don't know if Howard has any additional plans. Anyway, on Su Ming's side, Wilson Communications Branch is the new cover of Spider Web. While providing wireless communication services to people, it also secretly started a project called 'Prism Project' .

However, the technological level has not yet reached the level, and the electronic components are still relatively large. The high price and large size of the Big Brother have made it not very popular among young people, and the intelligence collection work is still in the accumulation stage.

But don't worry, Su Ming knows that everyone will have a smartphone in the future, and by that time, the monopoly in the telecommunications industry will bring many benefits.

Anyway, the goal of Wilson Enterprises in the 1990s was to enter the Internet industry, and the Internet was the highlight.

"where is he?"

Howard's voice sounded strange on the phone. He was probably deformed from anger. He had been waiting in anxiety all day today.

Because it didn't take long for Deathstroke to find someone in the past, and it only took a few hours at most to deal with a problem like a world crisis. However, it took him two nights and one day to find his son. How could he not think too much about this?

"By the way, why doesn't your phone have a flashlight function?" Su Ming put the big brother away from his ear and quickly found Tony. However, he secretly followed Tony for a day and only gave Howard the news now because it felt interesting.

"Why should I give my agents flashlights when I equip them with night vision goggles? Isn't it unnecessary?"

Howard was a little confused as to why Deathstroke suddenly brought up the equipment issue.

"Oh, you still have the same business mentality. You only think about saving costs and don't consider reliability in special tasks." Su Ming squatted down on the top of the cross with some emotion and looked at those people from a distance. People moved the unconscious Tony: "If the night vision device breaks down, the flashlight can be used for emergency purposes. If the flashlight breaks down, you can also provide them with lighters and candles."

"...I understand, what do you want?"

Howard understood. We were talking about doing business and talking about costs. This meant setting a price.

"How many years will you come with me to work in other places after you retire? I need you to help me with design and construction." Su Ming said his plan.

"Are you going to expand your Hawaiian island? I'm also interested in reclaiming land from the sea." There was the sound of a beard rubbing the phone on the other side of the phone, and Howard was probably curling his lips.

Su Ming stood up and followed the convoy carrying Tony from the air: "It's not Hawaii, it's Contracia."

"Where? Could it be another island country in Africa or the Pacific? I didn't find this name on the world map." Howard was quiet for a while, probably looking at the map.

"The 'Messier 83' galaxy in the Hydra Nebula is about 15 million light-years away from the Earth. Messier 83 has a shape similar to the Milky Way, but is only half the size of the Milky Way. Its existence was first discovered by French astronomer Nicolas "Discovered by Louis de la Serre in the mid-18th century, Contracia is a planet in the south-central Pinwheel system of Mesil 83 that is slightly larger than our Earth."

The speed is seventy miles, and the mood is free. The death knell flying in the sky is holding a mobile phone, experiencing the fun of free communication without any 'lines'.

"...Huh?" Howard seemed to have been frozen for a long time.

"Yes, Howard, I need you to help me design and build a planet." Su Ming answered him clearly, indicating that he was not talking in his sleep.

"Fake... you have found a planet suitable for human habitation?" Howard was a little incoherent. As a scientist, he never expected that when everyone was still playing in the mud on the earth, the death knell had already I have my own planet.

Su Ming followed the car in front and watched as they drove towards the airport instead of going to the hospital: "It's not very suitable for human habitation. Although there is atmosphere and fresh water, their sun is about to go out, so I came to find you." Research, such as where to place the new sun I brought, how the planet's gravity environment will change, and what the strength of building materials needs to be. These are all things physicists are good at."

"Are you going to replace the sun in that planetary system? Why does it sound as easy as saying you want to replace the lightbulb in the bathroom at home?" Howard was speechless. He felt that the words of Death Knell were not words that humans should say.
