Chapter 1447 The King in Yellow: Act 1
Night fell as expected, and the lone moon hung high in the dark night.
In the city with flashing neon lights, the modern city is full of light pollution, making the stars in the night sky dim.
However, in the starless nights in the past, there is now a pale yellow star shining beside the hazy crescent moon, like some unknown existence, watching all living beings on the earth.
"That's... the star that Tony reminded us to pay special attention to, right?" Black Widow stared at the yellow starlight and said.
The group of them disguised themselves and used the most primitive means to sneak back into New York City, avoiding numerous surveillance and cameras, and finally arrived at Stark Tower.
After the announcement of Tony's death, the Stark Group was leaderless, and the mysterious disappearance of President Potts caused the entire group to be in chaos, and the headquarters building was left unattended.
This actually makes infiltration work a lot easier.
"Now is not the time to focus on that, Natasha, are you really sure... that Potts is still in Stark Tower?"
Rhodes looked around cautiously, fearing that someone would suddenly run out and discover their group.
"Rhodes is right. The most important thing now is to find Potts. As for that weird star, I have asked my sister Su Rui to investigate the situation." Black Panther said in a deep voice.
"Okay... I'm just saying."
Black Widow shrugged, looked at the pale yellow star, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and explained: "Tony told me before that Stark headquarters building has put a lot of effort into him, so... this place is not Simple, if Potts wants to hide, I guess the most likely place is here."
"Do you think there is a hidden place in Stark Tower?" Black Panther asked.
"Yeah, that's what I think."
Black Widow nodded, then turned to look at Rhodes who was standing aside, and asked: "You and Tony have such a good relationship, has he ever revealed it to you?"
"Speaking of which..."
Rhodes was lost in thought: "It seems... I heard him mention this when he was drunk once, but the specific location is not clear. It seems... underground?"
"Now that it's confirmed, it's easy to handle."
Black Panther nodded slightly and said: "Suri, help me scan the Stark Tower, focusing on whether there is any hidden snow area underground."
"No, there is a firewall."
Su Rui said: "There is a network firewall within Stark Group. Once I try to analyze it from the outside, it will trigger their alarm system. What should I do? Brother."
"Don't worry about it."
Black Panther narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Wait...what are you going to do?!"
Rhodes was startled by his resolute movements and hurriedly grabbed the Black Panther's arm and shouted: "Don't forget, we sneaked in secretly. If we attract the attention of the Skrulls, it will be over by then!"
"Search slowly, the danger will be greater."
Black Panther said coldly: "And we have no time. This is the only way in front of us!"
Rhodes was speechless by what he said and didn't know how to refute. He could only look at the Black Widow aside, hoping that she would stand up and stop the Black Panther.
"T'Challa is right, Rhodes."
Instead of stopping her, Black Widow agreed: "We have no time. If we waste time searching, we are more likely to be discovered. We might as well be more direct."
Having said this, Rhodes had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Okay, okay... I hope God can protect us and not be discovered by them so soon."
"Let's get started...Suri."
Black Panther said solemnly: "Use the fastest speed."
Wakanda's technology is hundreds of years ahead of the outside world. Although Stark is a genius, he cannot break through the technical barriers.
Relying on technology that is a century ahead of the competition, Wakanda used the most violent means to directly break through Stark's network firewall, and then presented the entire building's architectural structure in a three-dimensional model.
"I found it. There is a road here."
The Black Panther pointed at the three-dimensional model and said: "Let's go there quickly. We just violently cracked it and it has caused an alarm!"
A shrill alarm bell rang in the hall.
The three of them did not dare to stop any longer and rushed straight towards the passage. After reaching the position directly above, the Black Panther suddenly stopped and waved his hand to signal others to stop too.
"What's wrong?"
Rhodes asked.
"Attack me."
Black Panther said.
"What?"
Rhodes looked confused.
"I said...attack me, hurry up!"
Black Panther's tone increased and he urged again.
Although he didn't understand his intention, out of trust in his comrades, Rhodes decided to obey. The Vulcan cannon on his shoulder began to rotate: "You asked me to shoot this!"
Boom!
The Vulcan cannon began to roar at high speed.
The blazing bullets dragged the line of fire, swallowing the Black Panther whole like a violent storm.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
Countless bullet casings fell to the ground one after another, accompanied by the roar of bullets and the dazzling and dense lines of fire, like a violent sonata, resounding passionately in the hall.
"That's it!"
A hoarse voice sounded from the explosion of fire.
Rhodes was having a great time shooting. After hearing this, he immediately stopped thinking and controlled the Vulcan Cannon to slowly stop and rotate.
The Black Panther was seen walking out of the rising smoke. The vibranium suit on his body shone with purple light. He withstood the bombardment of the Vulcan cannon and still remained intact, worthy of the name of vibranium.
Rhodes asked in confusion: "What are you planning to do? Don't you want to hurry up?"
"I'm just saving time."
Black Panther said simply, then pointed at Black Widow: "You protect her, we will go down directly."
Black Widow guessed what he was planning to do, so she hid behind the war machine and said, "You should be able to protect me, right? I don't have a armor like yours."
Rhodes was still a little confused and didn't understand what they meant, but instinctively nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
"Get ready...about to go down!"
After listening to Black Panther's words, he stretched out his arms, his muscles and bones crackled, and then he clenched his fingers into fists and took a deep breath.
It wasn't until this moment that Rhodes realized what the Black Panther was planning to do. He hugged the Black Widow tightly with his arms and opened the armor shield at full strength.
"Ah!
! "
The next moment, the Black Panther roared and punched down.
boom!
!
There was a huge vibration, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, and the kinetic energy that had just been accumulated in the suit poured down like a flood breaking a bank, instantly pouring into the ground with a devastating force.
Boom!
The ground collapsed and shattered one after another, spreading like a wave, and huge spider webs were printed on it.
The next moment, the ground shattered.
The three of them fell directly into the hollow below, falling deeper downwards, the wind howling in their ears.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally landed.
Plop! Plop!
There were two heavy sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Rhodes patted his butt and stood up. After confirming that Black Widow was fine, he hurriedly looked for traces of Black Panther.
He found the Black Panther standing in front, scratched his head, stepped forward and was about to ask, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Underneath the Stark Tower, there is an abandoned theater-style building. The ancient yellow walls are mottled and broken, as if they have experienced countless years of history, exuding a heavy epic feeling.

"What the hell is this place?!"
Rhodes' eyes widened and he said in shock: "Did I see it wrong? Stark...hidden an ancient building under their group?!"
"No...something's wrong..."
The Black Panther's eyes were solemn, staring at the building, gritting his teeth and saying: "We... seem to have arrived... somewhere else!"
Black Widow also stepped forward and saw the old yellow theater. On the one hand, she was shocked, but at the same time, she felt a splitting headache, as if something was about to come out.
"Have you...heard singing?"
She asked, covering her head in pain.
The other two people were stunned for a moment. Just when they were about to say that they didn't hear any singing, they suddenly felt their hearts turbulent. A weeping, sad song echoed in their minds.
"The twin suns sink into the lake
The long shadow fell
Right there in Carcosa
The wonderful night when the black star rises
The wonderful moon that moves in the night
But what's even more amazing is that
Lost Carcosa..."
