The Death Knell

Everyone got out of the car, and they were currently in the back alley of a Chinese restaurant. There were rotten noodles hanging on the trash cans nearby, and flies were running around on them.

Peter rubbed his head and looked around, looking for the marks left by Tony. The bald Tony had a quirk. He would carve a small Iron Man mask head on his props, as if to declare ownership.

Soon, Peter found the logo on an inconspicuous brick and reached out to press it.

The trash can on the side cracked open, revealing a deep tunnel underneath.

"Oh, it's such a dirty place again." Xiaomei lamented. She didn't want to go in, but she still took the lead honestly and explained to everyone: "The person who thinks that people will subconsciously avoid dirty areas, The entrance to his safe house is often the opposite, and is located in such a dirty place. The first time I entered the men's restroom was because he designed a safe house under the toilet in the Central Station of the subway."

"Dark, too dark." Jessica shook her head repeatedly, covered her nose and followed.

The members of the Ultimate Team were sitting on the trailer and the wind blew all the way. Their hair was messy, but because Deathstroke had spoken to them first, the group followed obediently. However, Ultimate Tony looked a little expectant:

"I don't know what the other me is like, but the taste is obviously not as good as mine." He commented, looking at the environment in the tunnel: "Not to mention that there should be a carpet at the entrance for guests to shine their shoes. Install some lighting equipment?”

Just like Jessica said, this tunnel is too dark. When everyone enters, the entrance to the tunnel automatically closes, and it is pitch black below with no lighting at all.

"Ben, I'm afraid of the dark." Susan looked weak and hid behind the human shield with the strongest defense.

"Don't be afraid, dear, this is a friend's territory, and besides, I'm here too." The stone man immediately showed the characteristics of a good husband, protecting his wife behind him, completely unaware that Susan was still throwing things at Lan Qi. She winked and asked him to come closer.

The passage was dark and damp, almost the same as a sewer. The sound of footsteps echoed constantly, and the road deep underground seemed to have no end.

But Iron Man was rich after all. Soon, a door at the end of the passage opened, and light shot out from behind the door, like sunlight breaking through the night.

It was a huge elevator, and a voice came from the speaker:

"Come in, everyone."

"Hi, Tony, long time no see." Peter waved to the camera in the elevator and patted his belly with a smile.

But the old man did not answer him, and just turned to explain something else: "Humans from the parallel universe, I know your purpose of coming, and I also know your plans. I can see you now, but I have to disinfect you first."

"Disinfection?" Skye didn't like the word, just like SHIELD called certain shady tasks "cleaning".

"Don't think too much, it's just disinfection in the conventional sense, such as ultraviolet sterilization and spraying some aerosols." The voice from the speaker said this, but the elevator door had been closed, leaving no chance for everyone to choose.

Deathstroke waved his hands indifferently and explained to Skye: "It's not actually disinfection. He just took the opportunity to scan our body data and formulate possible countermeasures. Just get used to it."

"You know him?" Old Peter's shoulders slumped, and he guessed that this was the case.

"No, we have never met, but I know a person and know what he would do in this situation." Su Ming moved his neck and looked at the camera: "If you want to investigate, hurry up, I said The zombie problem is no joke to you. Once it snowballs, guess what the Gods will take the opportunity to do something?"

"..."

The other end was silent, but the elevator began to descend rapidly, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly surged over everyone's heads, making it difficult to speak.

Although the plan was discovered by Deathstroke, Old Tony still carried out a series of steps called disinfection, which was actually scanning. Anyway, as long as he did not admit it, no one could say that he had really made a backup plan.

The elevator arrived and the door opened, but there was only faint light in the hall in front of him. The source of the light was rows of monitors and some strange equipment that made beeps.

There are two figures not far away, one standing and the other sitting in a sealed transparent sphere. The one sitting is old Tony. In order to prevent mutation, he does not even breathe the unprocessed air from the outside world.

As for the one standing, she was a tall and fit woman with long blond hair and a red cloak, holding a square-headed hammer in her hand.

She was very enthusiastic and first greeted everyone:

"Everyone, welcome to this simple shack. The captain is busy. I, the Avengers, are here to welcome you."

Listening to this old English with strange grammar and the familiar costume, Loki walked towards the other party with a strange look on his face, tilted his head and asked:

"Thor?"

"Of course, I am the mortal god of Asgard, Thor, the God of Thunder." The woman smiled and hugged her, and slapped Loki on the shoulder: "Sister, are you an Asir from another universe? Are you? It has a similar taste to me.”

Loki nodded with a smile, struggled to escape from the woman's arms, and hurried back to Deathstroke, whispering: "A female version of Thor? This is so crazy? How do you want me to forget this face in the future? "

Every time I see my brother in the future, this woman's face will probably pop up in my mind, and that's probably what it means.

Su Ming glanced at her funny: "Didn't you say that gender is meaningless to gods? Why are you so concerned about it now? Are you thinking about whether you should call her brother or sister?"

"...It's not funny at all, really." Loki looked at Deathstroke with dead fish eyes and pursed his lips.

That's right, on Earth-X, there is no bearded Thor. Thor is a blonde fierce woman who speaks Old English.

Sure enough, old Tony still took insurance and called the fastest Thor as a precaution? In name, he is a warm welcome representative, but in fact he is a powerful bodyguard.

Earth

"Let's talk, I'll talk to Iron Man." Deathstroke nodded to Miles and asked him to introduce both parties to each other, while the Supreme Mage himself walked towards the eggshell-shaped suspended wheelchair, where the bald old Tony sat. Inside, there was no expression on the face.

It's not quite accurate to say that, because the corners of his mouth are really turned down, and he looks very serious...
