Reconstruction work takes time; the speed of New York's reconstruction in the original work is obviously not scientific.
Battlefield cleanup will be conducted in zones. The entire battlefield is divided into four circles, with the Stark Tower in Manhattan at the very center, and the level of battle damage decreasing as one moves outward.
However, some company buildings that like to oppose the Osborn Group are severely damaged and need to be opened last.
Of course, if these companies intend to enter early, Harry won't stop them—anyway, the news about the microorganisms here has been released. Liking to oppose is one thing, but actually having microorganisms is another. Moreover, these microorganisms aren't just deadly; the electrostatic shock caused by their outbreak will paralyze their equipment.
Losing data is equivalent to losing business, and losing business is equivalent to having no money. Having no money affects them much more than a few deaths.
In the field of biotechnology, no one dares to claim to be number one if Osborn claims to be number two; they should have some sense of precaution.
After this event, the real estate value of Manhattan will drop significantly. After all, no one knows if something will happen here again one day, causing their equipment to become scrap.
"We all know that the Osborn Group has contracted most of the work in Manhattan's reconstruction. Is this unfair to other companies?"
Since taking the contract, Harry has appeared on television more often.
A reporter from WHIH News is interviewing Harry.
"That's a good question. Let's look at a video."
The video shows a microorganism that has never appeared on Earth.
Next, a researcher wearing a hazmat suit uses an electrostatic generator to shock these experimental mice.
"This is a 'gift' from those Aliens," Harry said while playing the video. "This alien microorganism will change the host's molecular density and polar magnetic field, causing the host's brain to continuously carry a charge, and finally..."
The mouse was crawling normally a second ago, and the next second, a violent electrostatic shock erupted.
"...it will be like this."
The mouse in the video died on the spot, its body slowly floating up.
"If humans are infected, this electrostatic shock should be able to paralyze all electronic equipment in a block, equivalent to an EMP strike. Not only that, residents within the range are very likely to be infected."
The reporters on the scene fell silent, then looked uneasy and crossed their arms—Harry Osborn had been to the scene!
Seeing the reporters' reactions, Harry smiled: "Don't worry. The transmission route of this microorganism is different from any microorganism we know. It spreads through static electricity. That is why you could see the researcher shocking the mice at the beginning of the video."
"And we are about to develop an antiserum—well, the antidote."
"Now you know, this news is not fabricated by Osborn to support the Governor in locking down Manhattan. Hazmat suits are upgraded every day. Who knows what is in outer space?"
After speaking, Harry spread his hands.
However, locking down Manhattan does have many benefits, such as being able to buy a large amount of real estate at a low price.
This attack incident caused quite a few companies to go bankrupt, directly affecting the U.S. economy, and this impact will soon spread globally.
"In short, the Osborn Group can both handle these alien microorganisms and has the most advanced construction robots to reduce labor requirements. Undoubtedly, we are the most suitable company to be responsible for post-war reconstruction."
After speaking, Harry turned and left; he still had things to do.
In the underground facility, the Avengers had been waiting for a long time.
"So Osborn has an underground Base? Doesn't it need to be kept secret?" Banner said, marveling while looking at the advanced equipment through the glass.
"You should have heard of their ctOS system, right? That thing can even monitor an entire city—under restricted conditions. How many cameras do you think are watching us in this facility?" Natasha was also observing her surroundings; her focus was on places where surveillance might be placed.
"So no Agent can break in here?" Tony followed up. "Not even you?"
Natasha looked at Tony and nodded.
"Great, I want to get one of these things, too." Tony snapped his fingers.
It seems that Agent Coulson taking his elevator directly to the top of Stark Tower left a deep impression on him.
Before long, everyone arrived at the treatment room Harry had prepared for them. Harry had been waiting there for a while.
"Welcome, Avengers," Harry said while fiddling with the synthesizer.
"Cool, is that the reagent synthesis instrument used inside the Osborn Group?" Banner's eyes lit up when he saw this thing.
If only he knew that this thing could also replicate his Hulk serum, what would his reaction be?
"Alright, kid, I saw what you said on TV just now. How do you plan to treat us? Also, I think my body is fine." Tony said bluntly.
Harry pointed to the electrostatic measuring device beside them.
"Congratulations, one of you won the prize."
This result was not surprising.
Not to mention anything else, Black Widow's weapon, the "Widow's Bite," is a weapon with an electric shock function. Others might have been spared, but she was 100% infected.
The original work didn't mention this, and Harry didn't know if it counted as a bug.
"Agent Romanoff, Black Widow, infected." The test results came out, and Harry announced ruthlessly.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Next, Captain America, Stephen—you don't mind if I call you that, right? I paid a copyright fee to the Military. You are also infected."
Hearing Harry's words, Captain stood aside silently.
This wasn't hard to guess—Captain had had several close contacts with the Aliens, and the probability of static electricity being generated during the battle was indeed very high.
"Dr. Banner, good news, you are already immune. You already have enough antibodies in your body." Harry curled his lips. Obviously, these were antibodies born from the Hulk.
"Tony, good luck, negative."
"Agent Barton, negative."
The last person, Thor.
Harry looked Thor up and down for a while, and everyone followed his gaze.
"Let's skip this one."
Whether he was infected or not was not a problem for this big guy at all—would Thor be afraid of an electrostatic shock? The answer, of course, is no.
The check was completed, and Harry started the reagent synthesizer. A total of two doses of antiserum were needed.
"I have a question. I heard that this antiserum is still in the experimental stage?" Natasha raised her hand.
Harry nodded: "That's right. You are the first batch of human subjects."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Harry held back his laughter.
"Come on, you are the Avengers, superheroes. If you don't go, who will?"
This was just a joke; there was no problem with the antiserum.
"This virus, I mean, is it possible that it has already spread among the crowd?" While the device was synthesizing the antiserum, Banner continued to ask questions.
"Well, because of its unique transmission method, I don't think it has spread among the crowd yet." Harry shrugged.
"But it's possible, right?"
"Yes," Harry nodded. "But this is not a big problem. I don't know if you have heard of the 'Canary Device'."
The Canary Device is a reagent diffusion device. The principle is very simple. You just need to fill it with raw materials—whether it is antigens, antibodies, or anything else—and it will form a cloud that can cover an entire block.
In theory, you could use this thing to completely cure polio in an afternoon. The potential of this thing is quite large.
"Heard of it. The most powerful medical equipment, or the most powerful biological weapon. I thought that thing had stopped research?" Tony said.
Why is it also the most powerful biological weapon? Because as long as you fill it with toxins, you can't run away even if you want to.
"It stopped, but there is a prototype," Harry took this thing out of the equipment storage cabinet. "So, we still have insurance measures."
You just need to put the antiserum and the Canary solvent into it, and the cloud formed by these reagents will penetrate the skin and reach the blood.
Shhh—
Fresh antiserum is out.
Natasha and Stephen looked at each other. Who goes first?
It can be seen that both of them are still suspicious of the Osborn Group.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, I have already obtained your genetic data, Harry thought easily.
As for Thor, Harry wanted to study him, but that would be too obvious.
