The mission is limited to two hours

The Secret Research Institute of SHIELD. Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and Dr. Banner all gathered here. And Peter may have taken over the task and teamed up with Tony Stark, did not return to his own world after the game ended, and was also teleported to Tony Stark.

"Jarvis, tell me Pepper's location!"

After regaining his freedom, Jarvis went online, and Tony wanted to save pepper the first time.

"She is here!"

Nick Fury who had been waiting for a long time said first, "We have all seen your warning, but I'm sorry, Killian was more cunning than we expected. When we found Miss Pepper, she had been injected with Extremis virus."

Steve said, "But she is safe for the time being, Coulson used his ability to freeze her...Tony, we are sorry."

Captain America looked a little guilty.

The video of the quiz game has exposed Aldrich Killian's conspiracy in advance. Everyone who has watched the video knows that this lunatic will take revenge on Iron Man at all costs. As a result, they were still a step late and failed to protect Pepper Potts.

Tony heard them say that, he was a little relieved, came out of the steel suit, and patted Steve on the shoulder: "You are not doing well enough, but at least it is better than nothing."

The group of people came to another room, opened the door, and there was a biting chill on their faces. There is a lifelike ice sculpture in the middle of the room...

Of course, this is not an ice sculpture, but a frozen Pepper Potts. There is a painful expression on her face, but on the exposed neck skin, there are lines that look like flames flickering.

"Coulson, you helped a lot!" Tony stared at his frozen girlfriend for a while, then turned to thank Coulson.

Coulson has always been guarding the ice sculpture'. Because of the continuous use of ice fruit, his complexion is not very good at this moment. "Tony, I tried my best. There is like a volcano in her body, which is constantly emitting. Heat, once the ice cubes melt, she will burn herself to death or explode!"

ice fruit can only temporarily suppress the heat in Pepper Potts' body, but it has both good and bad effects.

The advantage is that as long as it is not defrosted, Pepper Potts will not be in danger of life in a short time.

The bad news is that the side effects of the Extremis Virus in Pepper Potts' body are very strong, and the strength is also accumulated during the freezing process, which greatly increases the risk of self-destruction of the host! The side effects of the Extremis Virus are terrifying.

Especially in the first injection stage, the test subject is in the most dangerous situation. It can only rely on its own willpower and good luck to carry it over, otherwise, it will explode.

Although Steve and the others failed to catch Killian, they also harvested a lot of research data about the Extremis Virus. From them, they learned that the medicine Pepper Potts injected has been improved, and the lethality rate is higher than before. based on Pepper Potts's personality and will, there is more than half of the probability to survive the initial side effects of the injection.

But they didn't know this at the time. The best way they could think of was to ask Coulson to take action and freeze pepper.

Although this suppressed the Extremis Virus, it also suppressed pepper, making her unable to mobilize her abilities to fight the Extremis Virus.

However, the Extremis Virus seems to have undergone a certain change under the antagonism of the freezing air, causing the temperature in the pepper to rise abnormally.

If it is said that the probability of pepper blowing by itself before being frozen is only 30% to 40%, then this probability has increased to 80% to 90% now!

Coulson expressed a headache about this, and he briefly explained it again, "So, I froze Miss Potts, not necessarily to help her, it may be to harm her."

Tony frowned and sighed: "You know, this extremis virus is not difficult to crack, but now...the problem is very troublesome."

In the quiz game, after watching a series of videos related to Aldrich Killian, Tony's memory gradually became clear.

He now remembered that he met Maya, a female scientist, at a dance party on New Year's Eve. The two had a pleasant in-depth exchange that night, and Maya introduced her research results to him, which is now the embryonic form of the Extremis Virus.

One night was very short, but Tony not only had a friendly exchange with Maya but also took the time to answer some key research questions for her. Frankly speaking, if Tony is willing, Maya's research results are complete without any secrets in his eyes.

So after learning that Pepper was only infected with the Extremis Virus, Tony was not too worried. He was confident that he could detoxify Pepper by his own ability.

　　 But now the situation is different. Steve, Coulson, and others have frozen pepper out of good intentions, but they have inadvertently increased the difficulty of rescue.

"Sorry, Tony..." Coulson sighed. He also had a headache. He had lost his lifespan in order to freeze pepper, but he did not help.

Steve stood up and said, " it was me who made Coulson freeze Miss Pepper..."

"Come on, do you have to make me cry gratefully?" Tony rolled his eyes.

He didn't blame Steve for the two After all, they didn't know anything at the time, they just wanted to save pepper. But his tongue is still venomous: "Seriously, you should read more. Your head should be used to hold knowledge, not to train big muscles. That's useless!"

"Mr. Stark..." Peter, who had been watching silently next to him, couldn't help but reminded: "The mission we took has a time limit. If the time is over, the mission will be judged as a failure."

"What?"

Tony was surprised when he heard the words and hurriedly called up the data panel. Sure enough, he saw the task countdown. The time limit was two hours, which seemed to have started after they took over the task. But the countdown position is in the corner of the panel. If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to find.

This game planner is really cunning!

Now that the countdown has gone by a little and a half, there is only an hour and a half left for the task.

"Don't worry, Peter, I won't let your first mission fail." Tony patted his shoulder and said.

"Mr. Stark, I'm thinking about the countdown to this mission. Will it hint at Miss Potts' lifetime? If the mission fails, will Miss Pepper Potts just..."
