Get full defense in the Marvel universe

Chapter 63 Groot Virus

"Who am I?" Silton couldn't understand why Tony Stark asked this.

"Yes, who are you?" Tony looked at Silton seriously:
"Relax your mind and answer me instinctively, who are you?"

Silton said, "I'm Silton."

"Hmm..." Tony turned around the glass cabinet twice, stroked the beard on his chin and thought for a while, then turned back to Silton——

"You think again?"

"Mr. Stark, I don't have to think about it anymore, I am Silton!"

Tony said, "Are you sure you're not—

Groot? "

Silton was even more strange: "Groot? You mean the little sapling I brought back from Brazil? How could I be Groot?"

Banner said: "Let me just say, Silton's defense is infinite, so he should be immune to that virus."

"Well." Tony Stark nodded.

Later, the two asked if anyone around Silton had abnormal self-awareness. After receiving a negative answer, Tony Stark sent two steel armor robots to open the glass cabinet.

Silton walked out of the glass cabinet and asked, "Dr. Banner, Mr. Stark, why did you call me here?"

Banner led Silton to a glass device on the east side, and introduced: "This is the meteorite that you and Coulson's team retrieved from the Brazilian border. We suspect that there is some kind of virus that does not exist on the earth. .”

The creature in this glass installation, which Sildon was very familiar with, was the little tree man who always called himself "Groot." It was standing motionless, like a real plant.

"Dr. Banner, are you saying that this little tree man carries some kind of virus?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Banner pressed a button on the glass device, and the speaker above the little tree man played soothing music for a few seconds. The little tree man woke up from stillness, twisted his body, stretched his waist, and said: :

"I'm Groot~"

Silton has known this phenomenon for a long time, but it shouldn't have anything to do with infectious viruses, right?

Before Silton could ask questions, Banner led him to a row of glass boxes next to him.

Each glass box is the size of a shoe box, and there are more than a dozen neatly arranged, and each glass box contains a small white mouse.

Banner pressed the play button in front of the first glass box. After a few seconds of soothing music, the mouse in the glass box swayed with the music, opened its mouth, and spoke a language that Silton could understand:

"I'm Groot~"

Silton's eyes widened in disbelief, and Tony Stark said: "Actually, there is no need to play music, you can just tap it with your hands, but it will speak in a different tone."

With that said, Tony knocked hard on the glass box, the little white mouse bared its teeth, and roared at the unfriendly visitor:
"I'm Groot!"

Banner said: "We temporarily named this virus 'Groot virus', as long as any creature that has come into contact with Groot may be infected.

There are two symptoms after being infected with 'Groot virus':
One is to love music;
The second is to replace all original languages ​​with 'I am Groot'. "

Tony Stark added: "As well as rats, we've done experiments with cats, dogs and monkeys, and the results are the same.

According to the experimental results, this virus will affect the nervous center of the creature and transform the memory and consciousness in the brain.

No experiments have been done on humans so far, but Banner and I speculate that after humans are infected with this virus, they should become like these animals, becoming idiots who can only speak the same sentence. "

Only then did Silton realize that during the entire mission on the Brazilian border, he was the only one who had direct contact with the little tree man, and then the little tree man was put into the storage box.

In other words, only you can be infected with this virus.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers are too rough. It has been four or five days since I and Coulson sent the little tree man to the new Avengers base. If I am really infected with "Groot virus", isn't it too late?

"We also discovered that the little tree man was contagious in an accident yesterday, so we urgently called you over this morning," Banner said.

Silton felt very strange. I had watched "Guardians of the Galaxy 1" and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" in my previous life. In these two movies, neither the big tree Groot nor the small tree Groot carried anything. "Groot virus" ah...

But it can't be completely based on the universe where the movie is located. In the movie universe, I, Silton, don't exist...

"Dr. Banner, Mr. Stark, can I take a look at the infection process of the 'Groot Virus'?"

"can."

The Iron Armor robots standing on both sides raised their hands, shooting light from four different angles, projecting a video of the infection process in front of Silton, Banner and Stark.

The little tree man in the picture is in peace with a little white mouse that was put in.

The little white mouse sniffed on the left, arched on the right, and got close to the little tree man's feet.

At this moment, the little tree man's body changed, and a viscous liquid with black luster protruded from the inside out.

As if the black liquid had its own consciousness, it stretched out its "tentacles" to the little white mouse, and then penetrated into the little white mouse's body.

The little white mouse trembled, opened its mouth, and said the phrase "I am Groot".

Silton looked familiar at the black viscous liquid, its shape and texture somewhat resembled the venom in the movie "Venom: Deadly Guardian"...

correct!

Silton suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. He recalled that when he had just discovered the meteorite on the border of Brazil, it was not a small tree figure, but a ball wrapped in black asphalt; In the tree man's body, he fought side by side with the little tree man against himself.

It is said in the movie "Venom: Deadly Guardian" that the weakness of venom is high temperature and ultrasonic waves.

When I was fighting Groot, after I used the [Sonic Controller] to send out an ultrasonic beam, large pieces of black mucus dripped from the little tree man, and then Groot's combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and he could no longer use his strength to drag him. The vines that got off the helicopter had no choice but to escape.

It is speculated that in this parallel universe, it is likely that due to some kind of coincidence, the venom first infected Groot, and then fell to the earth with Groot...

and many more……

Silton thought of another point——

Although New York was not infected with the "Groot Virus", but when he and the little tree were fighting on the Brazilian border, it released a large amount of venom...

I don't know if S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken this into consideration.

Shilton raised his concerns, and Banner explained:
"'Groot virus' will become very weak without a host. At that time, it was in the middle of a minefield, and there should be no organisms for it to parasitize."

"More importantly," Tony said with a wry smile:

"After the destruction of Sokovia, even if Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. were interested, we didn't want to have anything outside of New York anymore."
