Chapter 247 Desperate Virus
Aldredge Killian sat anxiously in the reception room of Primus Building, waiting.
He was here to try to figure out how to work with Primus.
Originally, Killian was a chemical pharmaceutical expert. He was not good-looking and looked like an unkempt beggar on the street.
But in fact, nearly twenty years ago, he and his colleague Maya Hansen developed something called the Extremis virus.
At the beginning, he excitedly took his research to Tony Stark, trying to convince him to invest in him, but he didn't expect to be fooled by Tony and had to endure a night of wind and snow in the cold winter.
Later, an organization called AIM invested in him, allowing him to perfect the Extremis virus over the next twenty years.
But unfortunately, not long ago, AIM was completely destroyed in the war with SHIELD.
Because according to the Anti-Insight plan, the . determined that AIM was actually an organization belonging to Hydra.
This left Killian completely without funding.
However, he was only one step away from perfecting the desperate virus, and he really couldn't stop.
It's not only for his own research, but also for revenge against Tony Stark who looked down on him!
So, after several months, Killian finally decided to ask Primos for investment.
After all, the only company that can compete with Stark Group, or even surpass it, is Primus Technology.
If he can't get Primus' investment, then Killian will have no choice but to take a risky approach and cooperate with some foreign terrorists.
Just as I was thinking about it, a Mary Jane knocked on the door and reminded, "Mr. Killian, please come this way."
Killian stood up quickly.
At this moment, he hadn't even injected himself with the desperate virus. He still looked hunched over, with a limp in one leg and a cowardly expression.
Hearing Mary Jane's voice, Killian, who had always been looked down upon because of his appearance, didn't even dare to look at her directly.
"I, I'll be right there."
He quickly straightened his clothes, then hurriedly followed Mary Jane to the top floor of the Primus Building.
Bant was waiting for him here.
Killian was worried. He was wondering how to convince the president of Primus, and he was also wondering what kind of person this mysterious president was.
Killian froze in place for a moment until the door opened.
He never dreamed that the president of Primos was so young, so young that he wondered if he was being fooled again.
"Aldredge Killian?"
It wasn't until Bant's voice pulled Killian out of his thoughts that he hurriedly responded.
"Yes Yes……"
"Please take a seat."
Bant motioned for Killian to sit on the sofa, and Mary Jane poured a cup of tea for both of them before leaving.
Holding the hot tea, Killian felt a lot more at ease.
Obviously, Bant, like Tony Stark, is a true genius, just as Primus and Stark Industries are now behemoths in America.
But for Killian, the treatment he received in the two places was completely different.
At least here, he experienced something called "respect".
As for Bant, he really had no reason to underestimate Killian.
Although Killian is indeed a villain and has caused a lot of trouble for Tony Stark, this has nothing to do with Bant.
Tony's troubles were his own fault, and Bant had no obligation to clean up after him.
He has been back on Earth for so many days, but that guy hasn't even shown up. A few days ago, the . held a banquet to celebrate their victory over Thanos, but Tony refused to attend.
Now that he is in this state, it is even less likely that Bant will help him solve his problems.
As for agreeing to meet Killian, it was due to his interest in the Extremis virus.
This ability was demonstrated in Iron Man 3, and it really made Bant curious. He wanted to see what the advantages and disadvantages of the Extremis virus were and whether it was worth his investment.
Killian probably also knew that as the president of Primus, Bant must be very knowledgeable in the field of biological sciences because Primus had developed technologies such as self-healing drugs.
Therefore, he threw out a lot of useful information right from the start.
"The Extremis virus I study enhances the user's physiology by rewriting their DNA. It uses the body's bioelectricity to activate the parts of the brain that control repair and chemical recoding..."
Killian stuttered a bit at first, but as he spoke he became more excited and fluent.
"This could allow the user to hack into the basic operating system of an organism. If the user's body chooses to accept it, the user will gain regenerative healing abilities, allowing them to heal all wounds, including previously amputated limbs, and even psychological damage..."
At the end, Killian even took out a pen from the pocket of his old suit and started calculating in front of Bant.
He didn't write it in great depth, at least he didn't show the most critical formula to Bant.
However, the current Bant is no longer the Bant who was not good at learning. Through the formula that Killian now shows, Bant can get a glimpse of the situation and understand something.
But the more he looked, the more he frowned.
Killian didn't notice Bant's expression, he continued to explain the superiority of the Extremis virus.
"It can also enhance bodily functions, granting superhuman strength, reflexes, and an overall higher level of resilience. Much like the Super Soldier Serum! Additionally, those injected with the Extremis virus are able to generate extremely large amounts of heat through a complex metabolic process, producing up to thousands of degrees Celsius of heat from their bodies..."
"and……"
"Wait, Mr. Killian."
Killian was about to lose control and he even stood up, forcing Bant to interrupt him.
"Feel sorry."
Killian was interrupted, and the momentum in his body instantly disappeared. He sat back down, holding his clothes.
Bant picked up the formula and pattern that Killian had written on the paper and asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, this desperate virus you researched is a real virus, right?"
Killian's body froze instantly.
Because what Bant said was absolutely right.
The Extremis virus is not a superpower potion with a cool name, but a real virus.
Killian went over the wording in his mind, then said, "You're right, but it doesn't matter!"
"What's important is what it can bring us. A healthy body! Strong power! Special abilities!"
Killian knows them all.
“Does it really matter whether it’s a virus or not?”
But in Killian's opinion, it doesn't matter whether it is a virus or not. What matters is what the desperate virus can bring to them.
