Chapter 271 The Fantastic Four Who Want to Make Trouble

   "Steve? Haha! It's been a few years since I saw you, and **** you still look this enviable!"

   Howard Stark laughed heartily and tapped on the shoulders of Steve Rogers, saying hello and greeting each other.

  Captain Rogers, who was wearing the sky-blue uniform of an executive officer, didn't seem to be on a mission, nor was he wearing the legendary shield. Followed by two young order members, who looked like adjutants.

   "Old man, haven't you been busy as a 'commander' in the Air and Space Force for the past few years, what are you doing in that prison?"

In addition to Mr. Jarvis, the housekeeper, there are two other friends that Old Stark has known the longest in his life. Both of them formed a deep friendship during World War II. He looks heroic.

  Although he was very curious to meet Steve here, Mr. Stark suddenly felt a lot more at ease when he thought that he would be accompanied by this old friend during his visit to the "Wolf Tower".

   "Well, there are some things about the order team that need to be dealt with. I just heard that you are going to accompany me. Let's go and take my aircraft."

  Howard Stark nodded repeatedly, ordered the driver to wait nearby, and followed Steve to a blue-black standard shuttle on the apron square, while chatting casually.

".I heard that something went wrong in an important experiment of the Howlett Group in space a few days ago? I am also very interested in the 'Cosmic Storm' project. That Dr. Richards also came to inquire about cooperation intentions, but Shi Tuck Industries still lacks a lot in the space program.”

   "Well, I don't know much about the group."

  Steve didn't seem to understand the experimental plan that old Stark was talking about, he just laughed casually, took him on the shuttle, and then rushed into the sky, and soon disappeared.

   And in the underground research institute on the outskirts of New York City, harsh sirens rang through the Howlett Group's highest-standard technology center other than the "Wolf's Nest" base.

  A group of team members in charge of security were fully armed with battle uniforms and armor, holding high-voltage stun guns to surround the "rock monster" that broke through the alloy wall of the quarantine area in the center.

  All the base security team members did not connect the "stone man" who was as strong as a hill in front of him with the "Bald Ben" who was able to hang out with each other in the past and was very enthusiastic about joking and chatting.

It was a humanoid "creature" made of yellowish-brown rocks. The shiny enamel shell of the rock easily smashed through the special alloy wall. There were several holes in the round head, and the eyes and eyes could be barely distinguished. mouth.

  The stone man is no more than 1.9 meters tall, not particularly tall, but with a body almost as broad as a heavy-duty truck, standing there feels oppressive.

  The raised rock lines all over the body form huge "muscles", wearing only a pair of shorts, the concrete floor tiles under the feet are cracked inch by inch due to the huge weight.

"Step aside!"

The voice of the "stone man" is like a grinding wheel machine used to crush stones on a construction site. The low and rough sound exploded in the ears of the security members. I lost confidence in my equipment.

   "Report to the 'Whip of Order'."

  The security captain is a winter wolf warrior who was born in a pack of wolves. He was always holding back his anger when he was "delegated" to the group research institute but failed to join the "Sirius Legion".

  He cautiously whispered instructions to the team members beside him, twisted his neck and shook off the energy shield on his forearm, and stood in front of the "stone man".

   "Attention all! The highest level of countermeasures, prepare—"

   "Wait a minute!"

   Whoosh!

  A huge blue rubber strip leaped onto the field like a catapult, spread its arms between the stone man and the security team, and loudly interrupted Captain Winter Wolf's combat command.

  Reed Richards's outstretched arms were extraordinarily slender, as if they could fall to the ground when he put them down, he hurriedly explained loudly:

   "Don't do it! Please wait a moment, he is Ben! Ben Graham, this is an experimental accident, please don't use force!"

  The security team members of the research base were in an uproar and murmured to each other in low voices, but they didn't look like they were facing a big enemy just now. Since they are acquaintances, this is just a typical "initial mutation panic incident".

  Captain Winter Wolf is a lean man in his forties. He blinked in surprise, looked up and down a few times, and suddenly grinned loudly:

   "Hey! Bald Ben, you look good. There are not many examples of mutation evolution at such an old age."

   Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Reed turned around and calmed down, and softly comforted Ben who was still furious.

   "Old buddy, good brother. Come back with me, we will definitely solve your problem, and your body alienation will definitely find a way to control it!"

  Boom. Boom!

"Stone Man" yelled and slapped his right palm on his chest. The loud explosion made the ear sockets of the people around him hurt. His fingers turned into rock tissue as thick as four steel pipes. He pointed at Reed with a muffled sound. Angrily said:

   "Who said you want to leave here! You want me to stay now? Why do you all keep your personal appearance, and me! Reed, take a good look at me!"

  Susan and Johnny also rushed over through the hole in the wall. They were wearing the same blue and black tight uniforms as Reed, which seemed to be their equipment for space experiments.

  Johnny wanted to tease a few more words, but he habitually snapped his fingers with his right hand and kept rubbing out **** of flames. Seeing that Ben was already showing some signs of mental breakdown, he finally closed his mouth obediently.

"Man, listen to me! The research has to be done step by step. We are trying to analyze and simulate the energy characteristics of the cosmic storm. Give me some time. Give me some time to make you recover! The way you are now you, you Where can I go?"

  Reed's rubber-like soft arm slowly retracted, and soon became like a normal person. He suppressed his impatience and tried to calm down as calmly as possible. Susan beside him also said at the right time:

"Ben, don't worry, to be honest. Even if it looks like this, it's not as scary as you imagined. Look at the mutants walking outside. There are all kinds of weird shapes and appearances. This era has great significance for us. Extremely inclusive."

   "Hey! It's not just for tolerance, stone man, do you know how many girls out there are picking up evolutionists, hehe. Your 'rock stick' might be very popular!"

  Johnny smirked and condensed flames into an indescribable column in mid-air, teasing with curious eyes.

  Johnny Stone was extremely satisfied with his abilities. He kept exploring the limits of his powers in the experiments after his abilities emerged. The excitement of becoming a superhuman almost overwhelmed his desire to commit suicide after being toyed with by the "Viper".

  He even wanted to imitate mutants and give himself a "real name" or a nickname.

  Reed and the others were trying to persuade them, and Ophelia "Viper", the person in charge outside the laboratory, rushed over with her hands in her pockets, glanced indifferently at the dilapidated and messy scene, and walked to Ben's side with the corners of her mouth raised.

   "Mr. Graeme, you have to know that if you walk out of this base today, what you will face is the arrest of the order executive, and even the fate of being sent to the "Wolf Tower""

  Ophelia hugged Ben's shoulders boldly while talking, spit out pheromone poison invisible to the naked eye from her flaming red lips, and continued coquettishly:

   ". Cooperate well with Ben, your ability is very good. Although it is not the X gene mutation of a mutant, it is equivalent to the Alpha 4 to 5 strength level of the physical physics department. Hehe, you will have a bright future in the future."

   "Ah Choo!"

  Ben sneezed like a thunderclap as if he had inhaled some pungent smell. Deep in the towering brow bone made of rocks, those copper bell-like eyes gradually cooled down.

   Ignoring the "Viper" limp like water on his body, Ben Graham looked at Reed and Susan one by one, sneered and said harshly:

"Debbie and I are getting married and she accepted my engagement ring before this mission. You all looked at me like a baby, hey! Okay, I'll see if she can accept it." See if my Debbie can take one."

  Boom!

  Ben shook his shoulders lightly, knocked Ophelia away and shouted angrily:

   "—Stone Monster!"

   "Attack!"

  The security captain quickly issued an order, and almost at the same time as Ben's voice fell, more than a dozen energy currents as thick as arms bombarded the "stone man", blasting countless fine rock particles.

Ben Graham faced the electric light, stepped out of the concrete pits with his huge rocky feet and rushed forward frantically, bent Reed's body with a wave of his hand, and collided with the captain whose body was glowing with a faint red mist .

  Boom.

   "Damn."

  Captain Winter Wolf, who was knocked into the air, felt the shattering of his right arm and sternum, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and calmly reported the situation to the outside world through the headset.

   "Stone Man" received a punch in the chest, but he only felt that it was different from the ordinary impact, and a force even penetrated the rock's surface and hit him in the body.

  But Ben Graham has transformed from the inside out into a body tissue that is suspected of "silicon-based" cells, and has an extraordinary ability to withstand the unique penetrating power of killing techniques.

   All the way through the crowd and all the walls were broken like a cone, and a hole was knocked out on the surface of the research institute disguised as an abandoned farm.

  Ben jumped out of the ground and roared a few times as if venting, his broad chest heaved violently, he squinted his eyes and looked at the sun above his head that had not been seen for many days.

  Ben looked around to identify the direction, and ran towards the direction of New York city not far away

  In the underground research institute, Reed Richards rushed all the way to the exit, shortening his body and legs like an elastic cannonball, and then instantly ejected and leaped a distance of tens of meters.

Every inch of his body structure and even every cell has been mutated into a super-strong organic rubber substance due to the energy erosion and stimulation of the "cosmic storm". The whole body can be stretched to an incredible length, and it can also change itself through elasticity. volume and form.

   "Reed! Leave the matter to a professional. If you rush out to find Ben now, you will probably be arrested as an out-of-control person!"

  Susan yelled at Reed trying to keep him, but Dr. Richards, who was deeply worried about his friend, just turned around and shook his head at Susan, and rushed out without hesitation.

   ". Reed, you bastard! Fool. Johnny, didn't you say that you felt like you could fly during the extreme temperature test yesterday, and send me to catch up with him!"

  Brother Johnny opened his mouth wide, and his brows were furrowed into a ball. He even suspected that Susan's first half sentence of cursing Reed was entirely directed at herself.

   "I, my dear sister, we are not the same as those two stunned youths. They are not members of the group, but if you and I rush out today, you always remember the special rules better than me!"

  Susan Stone pursed her lips tightly, watching the security fighters of the research institute put on lethal high-energy weapons and lined up to clean up, walked up to her younger brother and said earnestly:

"I know that's why I can't wait here even more. Once they rush to the New York City area, the executive officers of the Whip of Order will take countermeasures against those who have out-of-control abilities and super criminals. If Reid and Ben resist, they may even be punished." The possibility of killing on the spot!"

  “.I understand these rules and procedures, at least I can help them explain how to deal with them when they are in trouble, Johnny, will you help me?”

  Looking at his sister's big watery eyes, Johnny sighed helplessly. He shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyes to look at the sky. He muttered lazily:

   "Hmph, who told you to be my real sister, but the question is how do I send you off?"

   um.

  Susan spread out her hands and propped up a round energy sphere, which perfectly covered the whole body. The light blue energy particles on the surface of the sphere were evenly distributed, and the state was very stable.

  She looked at her younger brother Johnny quite nervously. In addition to irritability and worry, she even felt somewhat excited about breaking the rules?

   "Okay, let me give it a try. Hehe, speaking of which, this is my first full-fledged attempt."

  Boom!

  The flames burned all over Johnny Stone's body in an instant. The air with a radius of several meters was twisted violently by the blazing high temperature, and the floor tiles under his feet were also burned into glass-like crystals.

  His body is like a hot red iron, as if the raging and inextinguishable flame is not burning on the skin, but the whole person has turned into some kind of magical flame creature.

  As Johnny continued to increase the temperature of his body, his feet that had sunk into the ground slowly rose and fell off the ground, soaring up against the gravity of the earth, and stopped slightly wobbly in the air at a height of more than one meter.

   "Yo Ho! Susan! I figured out what I should be called! From now on I will be"

  Johnny soaring into the sky circled and danced around Susan, drawing a long red tail flame in mid-air, roaring excitedly.

   "—Thunderbolt!"

  The figure of Agni pushed up the blue energy sphere, like a high-speed rocket propeller, and took Susan towards the direction of downtown New York.
