Chapter Eighty-Six: Race Against Time

Pepper returned to the company with some disappointment, and began her own work all day, and now the atmosphere of the whole company is becoming more and more wonderful, although Pepper guessed something, but everything is still in her speculation, and now she can only carefully investigate some things.

The next morning, Pepper had just finished her work when she saw a piece of news that sounded a little confusing.

The news was released by Colonel James Roddy of the Weapons Research Department about an accident yesterday.

"During yesterday's air exercise, an F-22 fighter unfortunately fell." Standing on the press table, Colonel Roddy, dressed in a decent military uniform, said to a number of reporters: "It is gratifying that the pilot was not injured because he parachuted in time, and as for the unexpected riot in the small town of Gomila, it is still not clear who or which group was involved, then I can assure you that the US government has nothing to do with this matter." ”

After listening to this endless news, Pepper immediately realized that the matter was inseparable from Tony Stark, the night before yesterday, the reporter Christine had just approached Tony Stark because of the incident in the small town of Gomilla, and this happened yesterday.

You must know that Tony Stark and Obadah Stan had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the incident in the small town of Gomilla, and now that there is such a trip, Pepper quickly settled the matter at hand and rushed to Stark Villa in Malibu Beach.

Coming to the villa, Pepper didn't find Stark in the upper room, she knew he must be in the basement at the moment, and Tony had been busy with something down there all this time, and was very careful to avoid the attention of others.

As soon as he entered the basement, Pepper heard Stark's screams of pain coming from inside, "Oh, oh, oh......"

Then the voice of Jarvis, the intelligent butler, came out: "It's not too bad, sir. The more you struggle, the more it hurts. ”

"Lighter, this is the first time I've used this thing, and I've designed it to fall off automatically." Tony Stark was a little dissatisfied.

However, Pepper, who was standing at the door, was stunned by what he saw, only to see Tony Stark wearing a red armor standing on a stand, and six mechanical arms under the control of the intelligent butler Jarvis helped Stark take off the armor on his body.

"What's going on?" Pepper walked up to Stark in disbelief and opened her mouth blankly.

Seeing Pepper Potts suddenly appear, Stark was also panicked, but he quickly calmed down, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Come on, it's not like you haven't seen a worse scene than this." ”

"Are those bullet holes?" Pepper looked at the row of holes in the steel suit, his face full of panic.

Stark was speechless about Pepper's concerns, and could only tell her with a wry smile about the whole process of developing the steel suit.

In fact, Stark also saw the news report about the small town of Gomira yesterday, and at that time he happened to complete the last part of his steel suit, so after the assembly was completed, he immediately urged the steel suit to arrive in the Iraqi town of Gomila.

This time, the function of the Mark 3 was far beyond Stark's imagination, and in just half a day, he had already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers from the United States to Iraq.

In the small town of Gomilla, Stark killed dozens of terrorists who were slaughtering and looting, rescued dozens of elderly women and children, and destroyed all armored vehicles and missiles that originally belonged to Stark Industries.

By the time the leader of the terrorists arrived with a large number of men, it was only a mess.

Stark, who was in a mood for revenge, got a little carried away, not noticing that he had been detected by the U.S. military's radar, and caused a panic.

At the U.S. military base point in California, the military quickly sensed the high-speed aircraft flying over Iraq, and after confirming that it had nothing to do with the C.I.A., Navy, Army, and Air Force, they sent two F-22 fighter jets to hunt down the sudden appearance.

It's just that after a chase and confrontation, an F-22 fighter crashed unexpectedly, but at the last moment, Stark saved the pilot, which can be regarded as a tragedy that did not make this incident completely tragic.

In the United States, although an F-22 fighter is expensive, the value of a fighter pilot is not much worse than that of a fighter.

Because of the mediation of Colonel James Roddy, who was present, the incident was finally announced to the public as an accident. Of course, there is no shortage of S.H.I.E.L.D. intervening and helping inside, otherwise the US military would not have been able to let go of this matter easily.

Naturally, Colonel James Roddy learned the identity of the inexplicable flying machine, and after that, he knocked out the cost of the entire fighter jet out of Stark's hand to calm the situation.

The whole news saw not only Pepper and Tony Stark, but many more people also saw the news, especially Obadistein.

That night, Obadiah Stein, who had been keeping an eye on Tony Stark's movements, ran to Iraq, because the Ten Commandments gangsters who kidnapped Stark found Mark 1 in the desert.

Obadiah Stein and the kidnappers are much closer than one might think, and the leader of the kidnappers saw the steel suit flying away yesterday, and immediately guessed that it was Tony Stark, because he saw a similar steel suit in the surveillance equipment.

Soon he had the guess that Mark 1 had been found in the desert, and then contacted Obadiah Stan, who had hired him to kidnap Stark.

In the makeshift camp for the terrorists, Obadiah Stein, who had arrived with a large number of his men, was in a tent and saw some broken Mark 1.

It was this shoddy thing that allowed Stark to escape from the hands of the terrorists with it, and the improved version made the US military helpless, and Obadiah Stan and the kidnapper leader also coveted it.

The kidnapper leader's appetite is much greater than Obadistein expected, and he can give Obadistein the broken Mark 1 to Obadistein, and in return, Obadistein must provide him with a steady supply of the Iron Warriors after the development.

Obadistein, who originally came with a heart to destroy his mouth, was even more murderous after hearing this condition.

After killing the gang leader with high-tech weaponry, Obadiah Stan ordered his men who had already disarmed the terrorists to begin the clearance.

Hundreds of terrorists were killed in the desert that night, and the U.S. military quickly learned the news, but they didn't pay much attention to it as an internal conflict between terrorists, and they didn't notice the Mark 1 that was quietly taken away.

Obadiah Stein, who had obtained the Mark 1, immediately established Sector 16 under the arc generator, gathered the best engineers, and secretly developed and improved the Mark 1.

Obadiah Stein knew he was still a big step behind because Tony Stark had already completed the development of an improved version and had to race against the clock.

Also in the race against time is Tony Stark, after convincing Pepper, Stark immediately asked her to go to his office, hack into the host, and take out all the recent shipment information, from which he wants to find the sold Stark Industries weapons, and then destroy them.

But rather than Stark's drastic tactics, Pepper would rather be able to find these things and hand them over to the government, which would take care of them, and she didn't want Tony Stark to die for it.

In the end, no one was convinced, and Pepper finally left with the unlock code Stark gave.
