Chapter 62 Cancer

The crowds of people fleeing in all directions continued to pass below, evacuating towards the edge of Manhattan Island with Fifth Avenue where the Empire State Building was located.

The Empire State Building, which started construction in 1930, only took 410 days to be completed, and it also experienced the pain caused by the Great Depression that swept across the United States.

It can be said that this 448-meter-high skyscraper is a symbol of America's self-improvement and luxury.

At this time, there was no gorilla named "King Kong" masturbating at the top of the Empire State Building, and instead it was a deciduous tree.

“Zoom in the image.”

Iron Man had a gloomy face. As his eyes turned, the intelligent AI immediately called the telescopic function of his helmet and sucked the scene of the distant building rooftop into Tony Stark's retina.

The tree was about the thickness of several people. The trunk was straight and straight, with more than 30 meters high from the crown. The bark was light gray and was deep and cracked. The light green branches and leaves at the top were dense and beautiful.

From a distance, this tree is no different from ordinary sour horns, kapok, pine, magnolia, and birch. They are all tall Wei Qiao.

However, as the optical device inside the helmet is further focused, Tony sees the "truth".

The roots, trunks, branches, leaves, and all the components of this tree are not woody fibers, but twisting and tangling strains.

Colorful and diverse strains are entangled together and intertwined with each other. The network built supports the huge bodies of trees.

The thick and long roots, like tumors, plunge deeply into the cement gap, strengthening the trees and not being blown down by the strong wind on the rooftop, and on the other hand, they act as pipes to connect the green bacteria blankets covered with the outside of the building.

Thousands of mutants grasped the bacterial blankets and stuck them to the walls of the Empire State Building. The furry bacterial blankets completely covered the roots and weaved them into one "worm cocoon" after another.

During the whole process, millions of mutants remained absolutely quiet, in sharp contrast to the cries of the crowd on the street.

“FUCK.”

Iron Man felt sweat creeping on his back. He clenched his palms, turned his head, and said hard: "Mr. Li Ang, what is that thing?"

"As far as the situation is concerned, the tree is a symbiont composed of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc."

Li Ang stared at the tree and smiled, "To be honest, I have never seen such a twisted and harmonious, ugly and magnificent creation."

Tony Stark looked at the dense cocoons of insects, and the wriggling and twisting trees above, moaned in pain, "Creation, you mean..."

"No matter how amazing nature is, it is impossible for nature to fabricate such a powerful and distorted plague population out of thin air."

Li Ang said calmly: "This thing is artificial, with very fine techniques, and it can even be said to be exquisite and close to the spirit."

The praise of the meme company creator obviously made Iron Man a little uncomfortable. The other party's attitude did not seem to condemn anger, but instead it was like seeing an extremely interesting collection, with a hint of excitement.

"This plague has already exploded in New York State, and Manhattan is just a mere corner."

Li Ang ignored the unhappiness of the playboy hiding in the can and said casually: "Mr. Stark, for the sake of the cooperative relationship between Stark Group and Academy City, I advise you to bring your steel suit and run as far as you can."

Tony Stark was so arrogant. If someone else had told him such a "suggestion", he would have long since shook his face and told him to get out as soon as possible.

However, Li Ang's personal resume is as luxurious as him, and even more successful to some extent - the significance of artificial organs and hydroponic meat in the history of human civilization is far higher than the murderous weapons produced by the Stark Group.

Moreover, Mr. Li Ang is like him, both special people with extraordinary power. Even Jarvis, an intelligent AI connected to a supercomputer, cannot tell the depth of the other party's abilities.

Li Ang looked at the silent Iron Man, smiled indifferently, and said lazyly: "Don't believe it, Mr. Stark, this disaster has exceeded the limit you can deal with. The current situation is just an appetizer."

"What about you?"

Iron Man couldn't help saying: "You are the industry's top biology expert. Instead of charging ahead, it's better to hide behind and conduct research and analysis and find a way to deal with the epidemic as soon as possible. Is this the idea correct?"

"rear?"

Li Ang smiled and said, "Do you really think there is a so-called 'rear'?"

The other party has already prepared it, and the outbreak range and speed of the outbreak are far beyond your imagination.

If it is not clamped now, these spores will float throughout America within three days.”

Tony Stark remained silent. Even if he represents the upper elite class of America and has blind confidence in the strength of America, it is difficult for him to determine who the winner of this inexplicable plague war will be.

"By the way, Mr. Stark."

Li Ang stared at the insect cocoons with interest and said casually: "What do you think this epidemic is like?"

Iron Man replied dryly: "Sorry, I don't know."

Li Ang said slowly: "Haha, relying on the terrifying reproduction speed, embezzling territory, competing for resources, and hindering normal system work.

What did you think of under these adjective embellishments?”

Tony Stark was about to open his mouth, but suddenly realized something and swallowed the conversation back.

"Tsk tsk."

Li Ang looked at the so-called "never fearful of heaven and earth" and "dare to say and do", and made a shameful and sarcastic laughter, "What do you think I am referring to?

I mean cancer cells.”

Fortunately, the steel mask covered the shame and annoyance on Tony Stark's face, preventing the arrogant billionaire from being embarrassed.

He coughed twice and said in the jar, "Yes, cancer cells, that's what I just wanted to say."

"Haha, whatever."

Li Ang spread his hands unanimously, "This epidemic has completely reproduced the characteristics of cancer cells, which is what I just mentioned.

However, just as all cancer cells need to be transmitted through normal receptors, the epidemic itself also needs to be transmitted through the host.

If we can find clues and piece them together through the means used by the other party,

You can follow the clues, trace the roots, and find out the other party’s true purpose.”

"Real purpose?"

Iron Man couldn't help but say, "Sorry, Mr. Li Ang, you may not know much about the cityscape of New York.

This is a den where madmen, madmen and anti-socialists gather together. It is not unusual to have any disaster, and the reason may be extremely absurd."
