Pouting his lips, Johnny gave up on any further plans to chat with Reed.

Such a boring guy who only thinks about work, no wonder his sister broke up with him.

Shaking his head, his topic quickly turned to the recent giant monster in Chinatown.

"...I suspect that it was a biochemical weapon secretly developed by the government, but it accidentally got out of control, so I had to send members of the Avengers to help. A buddy of mine took a picture of that time. Can you imagine a

Did such a tall monster appear in Chinatown out of thin air? There must be a conspiracy..."

"If you are interested in paying attention to these random news, you might as well concentrate on the next space mission."

Ben frowned, looked at Johnny who looked plausibly, and said patiently.

"Our task this time is not easy."

"I know." Meeting Ben's eyes, Johnny shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows as usual: "In order to cooperate with this mission, I haven't dated for more than a week."

"Huh~"

Johnny's careless look instantly aroused Ben's long-suppressed anger.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Susan on the side quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"Johnny, you go get ready first."

"Okay." After looking at each other and Susan, Johnny shrugged, shook his head and left.

Susan looked at the back of him turning around, and then said to Ben beside him: "I'm sorry, Ben, you know, Johnny has been this stupid since he was a child. However, his nature is not bad, he just goes his own way.

"

"I know."

Because of Susan's comfort, Ben's originally explosive emotions gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath to suppress the depression in his heart, and replied with a wry smile: "I was too impulsive." As Reed's friend, Ben didn't want to

If he affects Reed's research because of himself, it's just a mission anyway.

Ben secretly made up his mind to endure this mission for the sake of his friend Reed, and then, whoever wants to do missions with him can do it. Anyway, he will not do it a second time.

…

In the vast universe, a spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and connected with the space station staying in the universe.

This space station is Victor von Doom's private space station, which is specially used to study changes in the stars in the universe. It is also one of the reasons why Reed found him.

With budget cuts in government departments, if he wants to observe the changes in the cosmic storm at close range, he cannot rely on the other party's space station.

"There are still nine hours left before the space cosmic storm will occur."

In the space station, Reed was a little excited, and soon he would be exposed to the cosmic storm he had dreamed of.

"Honestly, what's so good about this kind of thing?"

Turning his head and looking at the vast universe outside the space station, Johnny said absently.

Compared to this kind of space mission, he prefers hot girls on Earth.

"The storm contains a large amount of data. Through the study of cosmic storms, we can decipher the secrets of genetic genes. All life phenomena such as the growth, growth, decline, disease, old age, and death of organisms are related to genes. As long as we can decipher

Once the message is revealed, mankind will enter a new era, a world where there are no more diseases and a world of new genetic humans."

“Great idea.”

Facing the impassioned Reed, Johnny shrugged and poured cold water on him: "The premise is that your theory is correct."

To be honest, Johnny didn't think Reed's experiment could be successful.

"My theory is absolutely correct."

To this, Reed gave a decisive answer.

…

Here, the space storm is coming.

On the other side, on the lower floor of the spaceship, in a box that no one noticed, a wisp of yellow sand flowed out, gradually forming an earthy yellow human shape.

"So, this is outer space?"

Opening his yellow eyes made of sand and looking at the surrounding environment, Li Ran, no, the expression of the sand clone was a little confused.

As a businessman, Victor von Doom naturally cannot conduct space experiments in obscurity.

In fact, from the moment he decided to invest in Reed, major newspapers in New York had already hyped up this space mission.

As long as Reed can make any breakthrough in the space storm, Victor von Doom will gain a lot of fame and most importantly, money. Reed, who only thinks about experiments

The researcher simply did not realize how much wealth lay behind the research he conducted.

Controlling the sand clone, he walked around in the spaceship.

As a human being, being able to walk in outer space is undoubtedly an exciting thing.

However, all this seems less important than the upcoming plan.

…

"Man, I have a sincere suggestion for you, that is, tell your good buddy to stop trying to get back together with my sister."

At the hatch of the space station, Johnny spoke while dressing Ben in a space suit for his upcoming mission in outer space.

"Of course not, it's all just for work."

Although Ben was vaguely aware that Reed still had some unresolved feelings for Susan, from the perspective of a good friend, he naturally couldn't just admit it and replied with a face unwilling to be outdone.

"Look at the way that guy looks at my sister, I don't want her to be like you said, she only has work."

Thinking of Reed's awkward position in front of Susan, even Ben did not cover it up anymore. He could only helplessly defend: "The last time they broke up, neither of them were as free and easy as they appeared. Maybe Susan

I still have feelings for Reed."

"Let me give you a brief analysis, buddy." Handing the prepared plant sample to Ben's hand, Johnny nodded and replied: "On one side is the billionaire and best boyfriend of the year, Victor von Doom.

, and on the other side is Reed, the stupidest smart guy in the world, who is worth less than a stamp. This is really a difficult choice to make."

"Emotions are not just about status."

"So, tell me buddy, if you were my sister, which side would you choose?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ben abruptly changed the subject.

"We didn't come to outer space to discuss these things. Open the hatch and I'm about to go on a mission."

"Listen to you man."

Shrugging his shoulders, Johnny immediately returned his attention to the work at hand. Although he was a little out of tune, he still had a sense of work.

Pressing the button, the hatch in front of Ben quickly fell down, isolating him from the outside.

…

Reed and others who were walking in the space station and concentrating on the space mission had no idea at all.

Inside the space station, an uninvited guest appeared that no one expected.

In the antique shop, Li Ran concentrated on controlling the clone and shuttled through the space station.

Because of the distance, he could clearly feel that the chakra connection between himself and the clone became quite weak.

Even if you are not careful, the clone in the space station will collapse.

Sure enough, relying solely on the power of the sand clone is still a bit too difficult.

Shaking his head, he gave up the plan of using the sand clone to act again. With a change of thought, Li Ran's [B-level card - Kaz] came online.

As the power of the ultimate creature emerged, the clone originally condensed from yellow sand quickly transformed into a tall, long-haired man.

Twisting his neck, [Kaz] turned his head to see clearly the environment outside the space station through his vision comparable to an astronomical telescope. A cold smile appeared on his handsome and inhuman face: "The universe is really a world."

What a disgusting place.”

…

"Beep, beep, warning, warning..."

"There are still 9 minutes and 34 seconds left before the critical point of the space storm arrives."

In the experimental control room of the space station, Reed was brought back from his thoughts by the constant warnings. He looked at the time told by the computer, and his originally calm expression suddenly became panicked.

"How is it possible! Why is there such a serious deviation in the time of the cosmic storm!"

Facing the time informed by the computer, Reed murmured: "Shouldn't there be still seven hours of preparation time?"

The speed of the cosmic storm came earlier than the time Reid calculated. Looking at the decreasing time, the expression on Reid's face became hesitant, but he quickly became firm again.

"The speed of the cosmic storm has accelerated!"

Arriving at the central control room, Reed said to Susan and Victor who were there: "If we go at the current speed, we will encounter a cosmic storm in a few minutes, not a few hours as originally expected.

Victor, we must terminate this mission, encountering a cosmic storm head-on is enough to kill us."

Although Reed hoped in his heart that this outer space project would succeed more than anyone else, he still had to make the decision to give up in the face of the impending crisis.
