Chapter 1097: Something Isn't Right!
For the next two days, everything seemed to be calm, there were no explosions, no terrorist threats, as if nothing had happened, but Chen Mo and Tony Stark both knew that it was just the calm before the storm!
Aldridge?? Killian's manor base has been exposed, although he decisively evacuated all personnel and equipment in advance, it does not mean that he will give up his original plan and ambition, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the plan is destroyed, he will definitely speed up the implementation of the plan!
Chen Mo's prediction was not wrong, although Aldridge?? Killian hid on his yacht in the Atlantic, but his men had already arrived in Los Angeles and were lurking in the shadows!
Originally Aldridge?? Killian's most powerful man was Eric Severn, who had also ordered him to attack Pepper before, but Chen Mo's unexpected appearance not only destroyed an explosion attack they had carefully prepared, but also caused Eric Severn to die on the spot.
So this time, after leading most of the personnel to hide at sea, Aldridge?? Killian instead sent another of his right-hand men, former NSA female agent turned Alan Bright, to capture Pepper!
And because of Chen Mo's appearance, just in case, Aldridge?? Killian also sent two more "ultimate creatures" who had also been modified by the Desperate Virus to assist.
The exposure of the Miami Manor base has proved that Tony Stark's side has a strong network intrusion capability, and they themselves have the ability to hack into the national radio and television network and public monitoring system, and they will naturally guard against being discovered by Tony Stark.
So after arriving in Los Angeles, Alan Bright and his two companions have been operating in the shadows, and all actions will avoid the cameras, with their strong physical fitness after the desperate virus, it is not difficult to dodge the cameras intentionally.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the villa, Alan Bright has completely mastered Pepper's whereabouts!
Originally, Alan Bright actually considered directly leading someone to attack Tony Stark's villa, and packed Tony Stark and his steel suit, with Pepper, who the boss cared about very much.
They have three desperate creatures strengthened by the Desperate Virus, and even if Tony Stark wears the Iron Suit, he will never be their opponent!
However, when she saw Chen Mo's figure appear in the villa in the distance through the telescope and never left, Alan Bright immediately gave up this idea!
Although there were three of them, in the presence of Chen Mo, it was still too risky to attack the villa directly, with Eric Saiwen's experience, Alan Bright would naturally be more careful, after all, the prestige of the commander was too great!
Therefore, after a period of secret reconnaissance and determined that Chen Mo would not leave in a short period of time, Alan Bright still decided to catch Pepper according to the original plan!
That morning, after breakfast, Pepper, escorted by Harpy, left his villa by the sea in Malibu in a sedan and headed for Stark Industries.
Sitting in the back seat, Pepper recalled the "battle" with Tony last night, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a happy arc.
Since the New York incident, there has been a lot less in-depth communication between the two, and even if there is, it is usually hasty, and since Chen Mo came back, Tony's anxiety has improved, and the night has completely changed, not only regained his previous vitality, but even a few points more, as if he wants to make up for everything he owes her in the past six months!
Although the next two days did not stay up all night like the first night, but they also fought until late at night, although Pepper could bear it, it was inevitable that she would be sleepy in the morning, so she almost fell asleep in the morning these days.
Today was no exception, not long after departure, Pepper, who was sitting in the back seat, fell asleep with a satisfied smile.
Harpy glanced at Pepper, who was asleep in the back seat, through the rearview mirror, shook his head habitually, and concentrated on driving.
Tony Stark's seaside villa isn't too far from Stark Industries, and it won't take long to get there along the seaside road all the way south.
But today is not destined to go so well!
Just after the car turned a corner, Harpy suddenly noticed that an uncle was lying in the middle of the road not far ahead, completely cutting off the road!
And strangely, the lower part of the trunk of this tree was still burning with flames, and it looked as if it had been struck by lightning and fell.
But Harpy knew something was wrong after a little thought, because it was a sunny day, and there was no thunder at all!
However, time does not allow Hapi to continue to think about it, this seaside road is a cliff on one side, and a mountain wall on the other, at this time, the whole road is blocked by this big tree, and the car can't pass at all, and if it hits it directly, it will destroy the car and kill people!
Harpy could only immediately hit the brakes and slow down with all his might.
Fortunately, Harpy's reaction speed was fast, and the car finally stopped before hitting the tree trunk, and Pepper, who was napping in the back seat, was also woken up by the violent shaking of the sudden brakes, and hurriedly supported the seat back in front of him with both hands, without directly slapping his face on it.
"What's going on?"
When the car came to a complete stop, Pepper quickly raised her head and asked Harpy suspiciously.
"The road is blocked, something is wrong!"
As soon as Harpy's words fell, before the two of them could react otherwise, the roof of the car above their heads suddenly shook, and then a large piece of it was sunk in, as if something had smashed on it!
Harpy's face changed and he shouted, "Sit down!" Then he quickly put the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and slammed the car backwards, and at the same time quickly hit the steering wheel, and turned the car around in a piercing tire friction sound!
If it was something else that fell on the roof of the car, he would have been thrown off a long time ago, but until the car turned around completely, Harpy didn't notice anything falling, which made his heart sink!
Just when Harpy quickly shifted gears and was about to step on the accelerator and rush back, he suddenly found that on the road ahead, he didn't know when two people appeared, one left and one right blocking his way!
If it was usual, Harpy would hesitate, but now this situation is obviously a deliberate ambush, Harpy gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator without hesitation, and the engine roared violently, pushing the car to accelerate forward!
To Harpy's shock, seeing the car speeding up, the two people in front of him had no intention of dodging, on the contrary, at the same time as he accelerated, the two also started violently and rushed up towards the car!
