——Peter suspected that it was because redeeming Hawkeye cost him more than expected. He was not familiar with Ant-Man, so he refused to pay for Ant-Man.
Strange's reason is: "If we fail, then Scott has the opportunity to let us do it again."
Peter and Stark were both curious about what he said.
But Strange didn't explain too much.
Peter guessed that it might have something to do with the quantum realm. After all, it was a fact that Scott had entered the quantum realm.
So he quietly sent a message to Dr. Foster, telling him that if the situation changed later, he would drop everything and ask Scott and Dr. Pym for help.
Dr. Foster didn't know why, but he agreed.
As the aperture of the portal flashed, what appeared in front of everyone was a vast primitive jungle.
"Is this Wakanda?" Stark suddenly had some doubts about his previous conjecture.
Strange said: "Wakanda has a technology similar to virtual projection, which has an energy barrier surrounding the entire country. They projected virtual images on the barrier, turning the place into a primitive The jungle looks like a way to deceive others.”
"No wonder there are so many satellites, but I have never found a country here!" Stark suddenly realized, and at the same time he was more curious about Wakanda's technology.
An energy barrier that can cover an entire country is an incredible technology.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of Wakanda.
"Speaking of which, why don't we just go inside the barrier?" Peter asked a question.
"Wouldn't it be nice to come in uninvited?" Strange said.
Peter scratched his head: "Same."
So, several people walked out of the portal and stood in front of the barrier.
Stark sighed, took out an elderly phone from his arms, and dialed the only phone number stored on it.
Toot, toot, toot
After a few rings, the call was connected.
"Tony?" the American captain's voice came from the other side.
"Open the door, we are outside Wakanda," Stark said, and then, as if he couldn't save his face, he quickly hung up the phone and stuffed the old machine back into his arms.
Peter, Strange and others pretended not to see his movements.
It's like a couple who has broken up, but secretly hides each other's contact information, and one day shamelessly calls them to ask for reconciliation.
What a shame!
How much determination does it take for the proud Stark to make this call?
They were not kept waiting long.
Just ten minutes later, the "air" in front of them experienced a burst of optical distortion and then disappeared.
A strange scene appeared.
There was still primitive jungle all around, but the area in front of them turned into an endless grassland.
A very strange scene formed.
However, this should be what it originally looked like.
A metal aircraft shaped like a lying little frog flew over quickly. The aircraft was also covered with a faint light curtain. It should be used to block wind resistance during flight, but there may also be some protective effect.
There were about ten people standing on the little frog aircraft.
The leader is a very handsome black man, who is also the king of Wakanda - T'Challa.
Behind him stood the captain of the United States, Black Widow, and Falcon. In addition, there was a group of black women wearing red and gold clothing and holding short spears about 2 meters in their hands. They looked like special Charla's escort.
Yes, after all, he is the head of a country, so it is normal to have so many personal guards.
The little frog aircraft quickly stopped in front of Peter and others, and T'Challa, Captain America, and others stepped down from it one after another.
The captain of the United States walked over first. He glanced at the crowd and noticed the seriousness of the situation from the extent of their gathering.
"What happened, Tony."
"Something very bad, affecting the entire universe," Stark said shortly.
But just such a sentence made everyone present except Peter and Strange look at him.
"Mr. Stark, welcome to Wakanda," T'Challa stepped forward. "If you have anything to do, you might as well talk to us at home."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Alright."
So, everyone got on the little frog aircraft.
"Who are these?" The American captain looked at Peter and others. Apparently he didn't recognize Peter either.
Peter stretched out his hand and shook it: "I'm Spider-Man, Peter Parker. We met in Berlin."
"young and promising."
"This is Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange. He is the Sorcerer Supreme who guards the mysterious realm of the earth." Peter introduced these people to Captain America one by one, and by the way, he got to know each other a little bit with T'Challa and the others.

Chapter 177 Wakanda Experience
After briefly getting to know each other, the topic returned to the matter "that concerns the entire universe".
So Strange opened his mouth and told Thanos, the Dark Order and his purpose of collecting the six Infinity Stones.
"Wait a minute, this guy named Thanos, what is the purpose of collecting six Infinity Stones?" Falcon asked, who is the overlord of the universe, the mercenary of the universe, the Dark Order, and the Infinity Stones? Something like that, the amount of information poured in so much at once that his CPU was burned out.
So Peter refined it for him and said simply and clearly: "Due to his childhood experience, Thanos's purpose has always been to reduce the life in the universe in order to achieve the so-called 'balance'. And when all six Infinity Stones are collected, the theory You can do anything in this universe!"
"Then, Thanos' ultimate goal is nothing more than two. The first is to wipe out all life in the universe. The second is to wipe out half of the life in the universe!"
"Why is there a second one?" T'Challa asked.
"It's still because of balance," Peter spread his hands and said, "The first one is more like extinction, but if you remove half of it, it's more like balance, right?"
Stark and others were thoughtful.
Peter's guess is not unreasonable.
Of course, the first scenario is also very possible.
Because originally "balance" was just their guess about Thanos's behavior all along.
According to the travel manual of the former Supreme Master who likes to travel, Thanos once did similar things when he invaded certain civilizations.
After he captures the planet, he will randomly divide the remaining residents into two parts, kill half of them, and leave the remaining half to fend for themselves on their planet.
It's just that they are not sure whether Thanos treats every planet like this, or if he is in a good mood and only leaves half of it for them.
But no matter what, they were prepared for the worst.
Moreover, even if Thanos only destroys half of them, who can be sure that they will not be included in this half?
No one they know?
Also, no one knows how this half is calculated.
Should the total life in the universe be cut in half, the total intelligent life be cut in half, or each planet should be calculated separately, with one planet directly cut off by half.
No one can be sure about this kind of thing.
No one can guarantee this, right?
Therefore, the best way is to prevent Thanos from getting the six Infinity Stones!
T'Challa listened silently, and his expression became more serious the more he listened.
Compared to Peter and the others, he was more anxious about the seriousness of this matter.
Although Peter and the others were also worried, they were only individuals after all.
Even if Tony Stark has a large number of people under him, to put it bluntly, the relationship between him and his employees is just an employment relationship.
But T'Challa is different.
He is the king.
He needs to be responsible for his own people!
The population of Wakanda is not that large, but there are millions. (I’m not sure how many there are, but after looking at the city in the movie, it seems quite small. If anyone knows more, let me know and I’ll change it.)
Even if half of the population is calculated randomly, more than 500,000 people will be lost.
This is extremely fatal for Wakanda!
Imagine a family of four missing two members. This situation spreads across the country, the world, and the entire universe!
T'Challa turned his head and glanced at the black girls standing behind him.
The one with short curly hair is called Nakia. She is Black Panther's lover and bodyguard, and she will most likely become the future Princess of Wakanda.
At this time, Nakia reached out and grabbed one of T'Challa's arms tightly, obviously frightened by the scene described by Peter and Strange.
On the other side of him was a woman with a vibranium spear in her hand, a fierce face and no hair.
She is T'Challa's personal bodyguard and captain of the Wakanda Royal Women's Guard, Okoye.
The so-called Royal Guards of Wakanda are actually the harem of the King of Wakanda, the Black Panther.
Everyone inside is an elite woman sent from various tribes.
Their allegiance is only to the Black Panther.
In Wakanda, Black Panther is actually an inherited title, synonymous with king.
Okoye was able to stand out from many elites and become the captain. Her mind and methods are obviously extraordinary.
Aware of the king's gaze, Okoye straightened his chest and raised his head with a firm gaze.
Although she was also shocked by Peter's description and Thanos's sinister nature, as a warrior, she only needed to obey the king's orders and fight with all her heart!
For the next section of the journey, everyone fell into silence.
No one spoke anymore, obviously they were digesting the information just now.
