Chapter 2120 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Six)

Chapter 2119 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-six)

"Here is a piece of extreme weather news. A thick fog has hit many places in the northeastern United States, Ontario and Quebec in Canada, and meteorological bureaus in many places have issued thick fog warnings.

"According to climate experts, this thick fog covers a wide range and lasts for a long time, which will seriously affect the level of traffic safety. Please stay at home as much as possible and do not travel. Flight delay information will be sent to passengers' mobile phones by the corresponding airlines..."

With a click, the TV was turned off. Nick threw the remote control on the table next to him and turned to the agent outside the door.

"So there is no news about San Francisco, Spider-Man can't be contacted, and there is no clue about the supernatural news in New York State. I just want to know what the hell you have been doing during this period of time."

With another click, the pen was thrown on the table. Nick pointed outside the door and said, "Go find Captain America and ask him to come to see me immediately. "

About half an hour later, Steve appeared outside the door. Seeing Nick's face, he knew that his old friend was angry again, but this was not surprising. Nick rarely was not angry.

"Okay, man, don't forget that you still have us. I will assemble the Avengers when necessary." Steve stepped forward and patted Nick on the shoulder.

"Have you seen Spider-Man recently? We can't contact him." Nick decided to solve the most important problem first, which was Spider-Man's death.

In fact, he had been looking for Spider-Man on the first day he came here, but it didn't mean that he would lead a group of agents to rush into someone's house just to find someone. They are official agencies, not terrorists, let alone the FBI.

There is another reason why Nick dared not make a big fuss, because he felt that White Can must be watching Spider-Man, and it is even possible that Spider-Man's death was caused by White Can. If he takes too radical a method, it may lead to bad results.

So Nick thinks the best way is to find Spider-Man quietly in private, and then use The Spider Totem transferred him to another universe to avoid this disaster first.

As for the time and space paradox caused by Bruce's failure to obtain the Spider power, at most he could be replaced with a less famous power, and then Captain America could be arranged to fake his death.

The plan was very good, but the first step went wrong. The agents who went to investigate did not find Spider-Man at his home, school, and places he often appeared.

The latest trace of Peter Parker that could be found was that he went to San Francisco about half a month ago, but there has been no news since then, which made Nick more suspicious of the white can.

"Steve, what do you think of Tony... I mean, how is he doing recently?"

Steve was stunned, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "What's wrong with Tony? He said that his company has been very busy recently, so I didn't contact him."

"Spider-Man is missing." Nick said with a serious face: "Our agents couldn't find him in the places he often went to, and I suspect he might be in danger."

Steve frowned immediately, he looked at Nick and said: "You know something, right? Tell me. "

Nick sighed deeply and said, "If I tell you, you will definitely say that I am suspicious and will destroy the unity of the Avengers, but have you ever thought about why the residents of San Francisco have mutated just when the Stark Group has just started to expand its business in San Francisco?"

"Resident mutation?" Steve seemed very surprised.

Nick then remembered that it was still early in the timeline, and the so-called mutation of San Francisco residents was only a symptom of a few people, and even the media had not paid attention to it. He sent agents to investigate because of his foresight after seeing the future timeline.

"Yes, because of coincidence, our agents found that the appearance and body shape of some residents in San Francisco had mutated, and initially suspected chemical pollution or viral infection. "

"Are you saying that this was caused by Tony Stark?"

"I didn't say that." Nick remained cautious as always, and said, "I know you hate my style of doubting everyone, but what has happened so far proves that it is necessary for me to do so. "

"I don't want to explain too much. "Nick walked around the desk to the other side and said, "Let's go to San Francisco, Steve, at least make sure Spider-Man is safe. We really can't lose any more companions. ”

Steve still set off, boarding the SHIELD plane and flying to San Francisco almost immediately.

As Nick said, although Steve was somewhat dissatisfied with Nick's suspicion all day long, he also knew that agents would be like this after being a spy for a long time. Although it seemed like worrying about nothing at ordinary times, once something big happened, this suspicion could save many lives.

Compared to Nick's character, Steve trusted Nick's ability more. Since he spoke up, it would not be aimless.

After arriving in San Francisco, Steve found the hotel where Peter stayed the first night based on the information provided by Nick. Through the information provided by the hotel front desk staff, he learned that Peter went out at more than 7 o'clock the next morning, and took a taxi at the door of the hotel.

This is a bit strange. Steve knows Peter very well. Peter is a very frugal person. Even if he goes to a strange city, he will try his best to use his mobile phone to check the bus route and take the bus to the destination. The first choice of travel is definitely not taking a taxi.

After asking carefully, Steve learned from the hotel parking staff that Peter was very anxious at the time, as if he was called over for something urgent.

And he also got a very important piece of information from the hotel staff, which was the license plate number of the car Peter took.

After a little effort, Steve found the driver who took Peter that day from the taxi operator, and Steve finally had the opportunity to ask his own questions.    "Is he going to the Stark Group campus?"

"The Stark Group campus is not far from there. You should know the industrial area east of Silicon Valley, right? There are many new technology parks and laboratories there recently, and he is going to one of them."

"Do you know the name of that laboratory?"

"It's too difficult to understand so many nouns." The driver with a Mexican accent said: "Including many words he said on the phone, I don't understand them. Oh, by the way, he should be going to a physics laboratory, which I can still understand."

Steve asked for a long time, but he didn't get the specific name of the laboratory in the end, but the driver vaguely remembered the way, so Steve had to get in his car.

The Mexican driver was very talkative, but he didn't seem to recognize Captain America. Like everyone else, his first choice for polite topics was the weather.

"The weather has not been very good recently. There is always fog in the morning and evening, but this is good for us drivers. Have you checked the recent weather forecast?" The driver turned on the stereo to play music, and Steve frowned slightly.

Because he just saw the fog warning on his phone, he turned off the phone screen and said, "Yes, the weather in New York is not very good, but is there fog on the West Coast?"

"Not as serious as your place." The driver turned the steering wheel and said in a brisk tone: "It's warmer here, the temperature difference between day and night is not big, and the fog is not that thick."

"But there was really one time when I was driving and found that the fog was so thick that I could hardly see the road ahead. It was also a morning. Let me think about which day it was?... I forgot, maybe it was the day I took the boy you were looking for."

Steve didn't care. When he arrived at the place, he paid the fare. The driver pointed to the building in front. Steve nodded at him, and the driver drove away.

Steve looked up and saw Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Originally, this was a slightly difficult name to pronounce, but Steve has heard about it from many people recently. Even though he never paid attention to scientific research, he could still associate this name with an extremely cool device, that is, the artificial sun.

Livermore National Laboratory established the artificial sun project in the 1990s, but there has been no progress since then. Steve is not very clear why there has been a sudden breakthrough recently, but he guesses that it may have something to do with Spider-Man.

Recently, Steve rarely sees Spider-Man on the street, which is one of the reasons why he rushed over immediately after hearing Nick say that Spider-Man was missing. He really hasn't seen Spider-Man for a long time, and he is really a little worried that Spider-Man might get into trouble.

But about a few weeks ago, Steve and Peter talked on the phone. In a few brief conversations, Steve learned that Peter seemed to be conducting experiments in nuclear physics with a professor named Otto Octavius.

As for why Peter suddenly entered the laboratory, Peter told Steve that he and Dr. Otto both thought that they should spend more time worrying about the future of mankind.

At that time, Steve thought it was a good thing, so he encouraged Peter and spent more time maintaining law and order on the streets of New York, because he felt that this would allow Spider-Man to be more at ease to work on his own business.

Nuclear physics research, Dr. Otto, San Francisco... these words intersected in Steve's mind, and finally he walked towards the laboratory in front.

With the help of SHIELD and the reputation of Captain America, Steve soon met the head of the laboratory. Hearing that he was looking for Peter Parker, he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Under Steve's questioning, the head finally revealed that Peter Parker did come that day, and was called by Dr. Otto, but from that day on, the two disappeared, and the laboratory also tried to contact them, but so far no one has been found.

Steve had a bad premonition when he heard it, so he hurried to check the surveillance with the head, but Steve did not start checking from 7 o'clock, but from earlier.

In the surveillance footage, Dr. Otto arrived at about six o'clock. He looked a little anxious when he entered the door, and soon went to the particle laboratory.

Just outside the particle laboratory, Otto picked up the phone and called Peter. After turning up the volume, the conversation between the two of them was as follows.

"Yes, come over immediately. I know you just arrived last night. It's a bit rushed, but you have to see this. It's amazing, Peter."

"Yes, I'm waiting for you in the particle laboratory. Come as quickly as possible, otherwise you won't see the most exciting part."

Not long after, Peter came. He rushed to Otto at the fastest speed and said, "What's wrong? Doctor, is there any new progress in ignition particles?"

"Come and take a look at this, Peter, I think we have found the correct answer."

After that, the two of them walked into the laboratory together. After that, there was no surveillance footage. Steve looked at the person in charge, who shook his head and said, "The high-energy physics collider and its preparation room do not have in-cabin surveillance, and the camera at the exit of another passage just happened to be broken, so we don't know what happened afterwards."
