I'll send it to the plane's laboratory first!"
With that, Su Zhan controlled the corpse and turned to leave.
"Looks like he knows something!"
Coulson said lightly, then instructed the others to investigate the scene.
Back on the plane, Su Zhan placed the corpse properly, but the psychic shield remained.
"If I'm not mistaken, he was infected by a virus from a Chitauri helmet, the alien army that invaded during the Battle of New York. The helmet contains a virus, but an antidote can also be made." Su Zhan thought for a moment and asked the System, "Is that helmet useful?"
"No!"
The System gave a concise answer.
Su Zhan pouted. He had guessed it probably wasn't useful, so he didn't bother getting involved.
After a while, Coulson and the others returned. Just as they were about to ask, Su Zhan directly said, "This person was infected by an alien virus, likely from a Chitauri helmet. Someone among them must have one, and more than one person is infected. If you find the helmet, you can develop an antidote. That's all I know. The specifics are up to you."
"What about you?"
"Me? I have other things to do, so I'll stay on the plane!"
The helmet was useless, and he had provided information, so Su Zhan didn't bother getting involved. He'd rather absorb Aether Particle as quickly as possible or research the Fear crystal.
Seeing that Su Zhan had no intention of participating, Coulson couldn't say anything more, as the information he provided was already very important.
Su Zhan turned and went back to his room to continue devouring Aether Particle.
While Su Zhan was devouring Aether Particle, Coulson and the others, using the information Su Zhan provided, quickly identified the deceased named Adam, and then followed the clues to find the alien helmet. It turned out to be a firefighting team that had been infected with the virus while wiping down the alien helmet. After bringing the helmet back, Simmons and Fitz quickly began developing an antidote. It wasn't smooth at first, but through gradual comparison and experimentation, they finally developed the antidote and promptly detoxified those infected with the alien virus!
With the mission complete and the helmet prepared for storage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but marvel again at Su Zhan's incredible foresight.
If he hadn't already known.
Simmons might have been infected, and those infected with the virus would probably have died. Most importantly, if Su Zhan hadn't told them the method of detoxification, even Simmons might have died.
Although these things didn't happen, Simmons's gratitude towards Su Zhan grew even stronger.
"Upgrade complete!"
Su Zhan was engrossed in devouring Aether Particle when he suddenly heard the System's voice.
"The upgrade is complete, what are the changes?" Su Zhan eagerly asked.
"Dungeon stay time increased to seven days, dungeon mission refresh time shortened to fifteen days, and the third dungeon plane activated!"
Listening to the System's answer, Su Zhan couldn't help but excitedly wave his fist.
"I didn't expect this upgrade to be so powerful. The stay time directly changed from three days to seven days, and the refresh time was also halved. I can enter a dungeon every fifteen days, which is amazing. But the best part is the activation of the third dungeon plane!" The more Su Zhan thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't expect the third plane to be activated so quickly.
This way, he would have more room for maneuver in choosing planes.
"What's making you so happy?"
At the door, Skye suddenly walked over and looked at Su Zhan, who was smiling so wide he could barely close his mouth, asking curiously.
Su Zhan shook his head and extended his hand. Skye took his hand and was pulled into his embrace, sitting on his lap. "Recent developments have been very smooth. I have a spaceship, a Base, and a few subordinates who are quite good. It should form a considerable scale soon."
"Is there anything you need my help with?"
Since Su Zhan was developing so well, Skye was naturally happy for him, so she very much hoped to be of some help.
Su Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Not for now, but I hope you can get along well with the people here. S.H.I.E.L.D. probably won't last much longer. If we can win them over then, that would be for the best!"
"I understand!" Skye nodded, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "But what exactly happened to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Do you know HYDRA?"
Skye nodded and said, "Of course, but didn't they say HYDRA was destroyed a long time ago?"
"Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place. If HYDRA were that easy to destroy, it wouldn't be HYDRA. They were only destroyed on the surface; in reality, they've long infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal structure. S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer just S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore," Su Zhan slowly explained.
Skye's eyes widened. This news greatly shocked her.
"Don't overthink it. You should trust me. Even if something happens, I'm still here!"
"Mm, of course I trust you!"
Skye nodded heavily.
Chapter 0065: Legs for a Year
Night fell, and everyone had already gone to rest.
However, the lights were still on in the laboratory. Simmons, wearing a white coat and glasses, was studying the Ability potion on a precise instrument. As a biologist, although she wasn't a genetics expert and didn't have much hope for Ability, she was very interested in studying how this potion produced Ability. She was focused and absorbed, completely unaware of Su Zhan entering.
Su Zhan didn't make a sound to disturb her, but quietly stood by and watched. Simmons had a very good figure and beautiful features. Perhaps due to her personality and profession, she rarely dressed up. Beneath her loose white coat, her straight legs were exposed, fair and flawless. Su Zhan's lips curved slightly. He remembered telling Simmons that her legs were beautiful and that she should wear fewer long pants and more skirts or shorts. It seemed she had listened, and even changed specifically for him. During the mission earlier in the day, she was still wearing long jeans!
"Ah…" Simmons happened to look up at this moment and saw Su Zhan suddenly appear, which startled her. Then she said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Su Zhan walked over with a smile and said, "I brought a gift back for someone, but it seems that person hasn't given a gift in return, so I specifically came to see if someone forgot."
Simmons's face flushed slightly as she said, "If I figure out this Ability potion, wouldn't that be the best return gift?"
"That's true, but who knows how long that will take? How about… some interest first? For example… how about taking off your white coat? Didn't you specifically not wear long pants for me? Now they're all covered by the white coat, what a pity!" Su Zhan said with a playful smile.
Simmons didn't expect Su Zhan to notice that. After hesitating for a moment, she still took off her white coat.
A simple T-shirt and denim shorts.
She looked youthful and vibrant, and most importantly, the advantage of her long legs was fully displayed.
"So beautiful!"
Su Zhan stared intently, making Simmons feel a little flustered.
"Have you ever heard the phrase 'legs for a year'?" Su Zhan asked Simmons with a smile.
Simmons shook her head in confusion. "No, what does that mean?"
Su Zhan pointed at her legs and said, "It means that these legs alone are enough for me to enjoy for a year. It sounds a bit vulgar, but it absolutely has no derogatory meaning. It just means your legs are indeed very beautiful!"
"Really?" Simmons was a bit disbelieving. She didn't feel that way herself, nor had she heard anyone praise her legs before.
"Of course, it's true. They are very beautiful, pleasing to the eye. I truly wish I could look at them for a lifetime!" Su Zhan paused, then smiled, "If S.H.I.E.L.D. is finished, would you like to join me? I also have my own laboratory, but I don't have anyone trustworthy to manage it. If you could come, it would be perfect to hand it over to you!"
"How could S.H.I.E.L.D. possibly be finished?!" Simmons had never even considered that possibility.
