Chapter 51: Iron Ambition (Part II)
A few days later, Pepper arrives to receive the injured Stark out of the hospital, and the driver takes Pepper and Stark out of Presbyterian Hospital and onto the main road.
Before he could get far, a violent explosion came from the back of a car, followed by the sound of smoke bombs being thrown, and the slightest soft sound released a white mist that soon enveloped everything in the field of vision.
Stark hurriedly knocked Pepper down beside him, and the sound of "boom" bullets was incessant, hitting the bulletproof glass, causing the whole car to vibrate.
Stark scolded secretly, took out his mobile phone and was about to call the mecha, but Pepper pushed him and said, "Damn, your injuries are not healed yet, call Rhodes first and let him pilot the mech!" ”
Before Stark could refute, Pepper snatched his phone, hid under the seat of the car, and called Rhodes and said, "Tony and I were attacked on our way out of the hospital!" Get someone for us! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud vibration on the ground, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was accompanied by the click of machinery around her, and Stark looked back to see that several huge robots surrounded them outside the car window.
The driver in the front seat had been shot, Stark had to climb into the driver's seat by himself, Pepper brushed his hair and said, "Turn right to the square, so the support can see us at a glance!" ”
Fortunately, Stark's safety car was of good quality, and he instantly ignited the fire and sped up, and began to flee for his life.
He hammered the steering wheel and said, "It's good that we were discharged at night!" ”
Then he looked back and saw five or six big robots chasing after his ass, and Stark said, "I've got to get out and fight, and if they're going to blow themselves up here, that's bad!" ”
"This is the center of the city, and it's not far from the Presbyterian Hospital, if so many robots die here, I'm afraid the entire hospital will be razed to the ground!"
The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and Stark couldn't control the car a little, a turn drifted, the tires left black marks on the ground, and the screeching brake sound was heard far away.
Seeing that the nearest robot was about to leap onto the car, Stark heard a thud, and a figure swinging in mid-air kicked the robot on the head, kicking it out of the air.
Peter slammed on the roof of the car, poked his head into the cab and said, "Am I coming in time?" ”
Then he looked up and said quickly, "Hey! Listen! Don't go straight, turn left! There's a traffic jam ahead! If these big men run past, they will trample all the cars into scrap metal! ”
With that, he launched another spider silk and quickly glued it to the wall of the building, then stepped on the robots until they were all on fire.
One of the robots raised its arm and fired a rocket at him, and the explosion sounded, leaving Spider-Man unharmed, but the door of a store was blown open, and the clerk inside was scratched by broken glass, and Spider-Man had to rush in to rescue him.
"Looks like that spider kid isn't available either." Stark said, "These guys are making a lot of noise, and someone has to save them." ”
Pepper said, "Rod must have called both Steve and Schiller, let's take care of ourselves first!" ”
Stark's wounds were still aching, and a few days were not enough for him to fully recover, and then when he looked up, the shadow of a helicopter hung over the car, and Rhodes hung on the door of the helicopter and shouted to him, "Go south!! Fast!!! We can't fight them here!! That would kill a lot of people!! ”
Stark gritted his teeth, twisted the steering wheel hard, and the car spun to the left, spun around, rubbed against two bolts, and slammed into a street corner.
Stark opens the somewhat damaged car door, Pepper is shaken a little dizzy, and Stark escorts her out of the car.
Spider-Man directly ripped off two huge street lamps with spider silk, and then brandished one of them, causing a lot of trouble for those robots, Stark shouted, "Jarvis! Arm! ”
Soon, a golden and red mecha flew over, and after Iron Man was armed, he flew to the roof of the building with Pepper in his arms, put her in a safe place, and then Rod also put on the mecha.
It's a small factory that makes parts for instruments, but fortunately, due to the late hour, most of the workers are off work, and the security guards who heard the movement have already fled, and when the robots arrive, Iron Man and Rhodes are waiting for them.
The little spider swung behind him, followed by Captain America, because those big guys trampled all the way from the city, many people were injured, and the little spider's organizational ability was not very good, and they all relied on Steve to evacuate the crowd.
Although Peter's hand-to-hand combat skills are not strong enough, he is brute force, fast and flexible, making those tin cans dizzy and creating a good output environment for Iron Man.
The sparks from a few palm cannons caused a small explosion, Iron Man sped through the huge robots, and Rhodes also knocked down two robots, shouting, "This can't go on like this!" If they blow themselves up together! None of us can run away! ”
"This is wrong, very wrong......" Stark only reacted now, "These robots are by no means Obadiah's handiwork, even if he takes away the core energy, he can't make so many robots in such a short time, this requires a complete military industrial chain, Stark's military production line is in Pepper's hands, it is impossible for Obadiah to hide from her and produce so many ...... in one go"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the large robots that had been hit by his palm cannon rushed towards him, and Spider-Man shouted on the other side, "Get out of the way!! There is a dangerous !! ”
The power of the Iron Man armor was turned to the maximum, and a rapid pull was raised, "Boom!" With a loud bang, a large blackened crater was blown out of the spot.
"It's a good thing I modified the jet power, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to withstand such a big impact."
As he spoke, he swooped down again, quickly grabbed a robot and threw it out, this time Iron Man learned to be smart, and immediately turned around and flew back after throwing it out, and sure enough, there was soon another violent explosion.
Stark reacted quickly, but Steve in the back was not so lucky, he held his shield to resist the aftermath of the impact, but he was still blown up.
"Damn it! What the hell is this! ”
Iron Man floated in mid-air, looking at the charred wreckage on the ground, and he said, "I recognize, it's part 7 before the transformation, and it's the version of ...... I gave to the military."
He glanced back at Rhodes, who was still fighting the robots, silently pulled the mech up, and then went to deal with the next enemy.
Explosions rang out one after another, but other robots joined the fight, and the place was almost blown into ruins.
It has to be said that such a tactic is very effective, a large number of explosions are always accompanied by a strong impact, so that several people are busy coping, and even more cunningly, once a robot wants to escape this war zone, the superheroes have to take the initiative to catch up with them, otherwise it will be bad if they blow themselves up in a residential area.
Although Iron Man gradually figured out the pattern, the time between the two attacks was too short, and he didn't have time to improve his armor to deal with this kind of self-detonating infantry, two consecutive explosions rang out, and Iron Man was knocked out, and a series of sparks came out of the armor.
Seeing that he missed, four or five robots surrounded him in an instant, and they didn't intend to fight Iron Man in hand-to-hand combat, they had only one purpose, which was to use the explosion to kill him.
Just as the first robot had a red light on its chest, the ground shook again, and a violent roar rang out, and a huge arm grabbed the robot and threw it out at once, causing it to crash into the wall and explode.
A steel monster two turns larger than these self-destructing robots appeared, and Iron Man got up from the ground and flew into the air, saying, "Hell, what is this?" Where did they get so many robots?!! ”
The steel monster directly tore a self-detonating robot in half and dug out the bomb in its chest, and Rod was also stunned, he said, "What's the matter? How did they fight on their own?! ”
"Can't you see it yet?! They're not a bunch of people! Captain America shouted.
The situation on the field is extremely complicated now, and the superheroes have to deal with the self-revealing robots to prevent them from rushing out and exploding, and the steel monster seems to want nothing more than to shred the robots.
Iron Man didn't know who to hit for a while, and Spider-Man didn't care about it, the whole world was the enemy, and while tripping the self-destructing robot with spider silk, he also gave the steel monster a punch.
It didn't take long for the self-detonation robot to be almost solved, either being thrown out and exploding, or being dug up with a bomb.
As soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw another huge figure appear on the roof of the building opposite, an enlarged version of a self-destructing robot jumping down, also in black and gold livery, but more than three times larger than Iron Man's mech, and let out a loud roar when it landed.
"Oh my God, what is this? I've never seen so many robots in my life! Peter said, "Is it possible that they are still a family of three?" ”
Captain America came up with a shield and said, "If that's the case, then judging by the size, you know who the son is." ”
"You didn't keep the promise between us!" The robot that had just jumped off made a sound,
"You tricked me......" The steel monster also said, apparently, both robots were manned.
Stark had a shocked expression, and he and Rhodes said almost in unison, "Uncle Obadiah! "General Johnson! ”
But before they could ask what was going on, the two giant steel robots became entangled.
It can be seen that although these two robots are very strong, the two drivers are obviously unskilled, and they use hooligan boxing techniques to fight, you give me a punch, I will give you a punch.
Iron Man was stunned in mid-air, he didn't know who to help, Jarvis had just helped him do a voice analysis, and the person who spoke was indeed Obadiah, but what the hell was going on? Aren't these self-exploding robots really made by Obadiah? And what's going on with that General Johnson? Could it be that the two of them originally wanted to unite against themselves, but they were infighting???
Iron Man felt that it didn't seem right for him to help anyone now, so he could only float in mid-air and watch the excitement.
The steel monster punched over and hit General Johnson's mech, and with a bang, the cockpit panel shattered, and General Johnson took a step back, then waved his arm and said, "Howard's little henchman!" Now he has to stand up and protect his son! It's ridiculous that when he wanted to close Stark's military department, he didn't ask his good uncle's opinion! ”
"He's never taken your hard work seriously, but now you're going to be a security guard for him?! That old Andro was really good at what he said, the only right thing Howard that rotten man did in his life was to find a watchdog like you! ”
The steel monster on the opposite side didn't make a sound, and then General Johnson took a step back and said to Rhodes on the other side: "Look at it, this is your tomorrow!" You all like to follow Stark's ass and be on call, pal? Oh, if he really treats you as a friend, he won't give you some old and outdated technical information! ”
"This friend across from us has been a watchdog for Howard for the rest of his life! What did he get? He didn't even dare to resist! ”
Both Rod and Stark were about to speak, when Jarvis issued another drastic warning: "High energy reaction detected!" Please avoid it now! Stay out of the way! Stay out of the way! 3! 2……”
In an instant, another violent mushroom cloud rose, and the explosion of the big guy piloted by General Johnson was even more extraordinary, leaving a large crater of several hundred meters on the ground, and half of the factory was blown to pieces.
No one expected him to be so decisive, Iron Man couldn't dodge, his mecha was almost blown up, and the one worn by Rhodes was completely scrapped, and the defense of the steel monster was quite high, but it seemed that he couldn't stand up.
Perhaps General Johnson had prepared in advance, but he was not killed in the center of the self-detonation, but got up from a safety cabin with a remote control in his hand.
"You may think this is the end of it, but on the contrary, this is just the beginning!" General Johnson said.
Stark was hit on the head again, he wiped his eyes, helped Rod up from the mech, and said, "Your boss is a little too grumpy." ”
"Otherwise, how could I be cornered by him." Rod laughed to himself.
"You still don't repent, Colonel Rhodes! None of the things Howard had promised Obadiah had come true, and he still only cared about his own son, and little Stark could shut down the most important military-industrial system with one mouth, ruining half of the work of the previous generation, how ridiculous! ”
"For his sake, you refused my requests several times, and only brought me a set of old and outdated mecha technical materials, but what did you get in exchange for this? You're just a foil to Iron Man, he's beautiful, you're obscure, like Howard and Obadia......"
“…… The barking of a loser. A voice came from the steel monster still lying on the ground.
"We chose old Andro because you were so stupid, and you still haven't changed anything after decades, so I still haven't chosen you, idiot."
Obadiah's tone was slow, light, and it didn't look like he was on the battlefield at all, but Johnson was even more angry.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the remote control fiercely, and dozens more robots flew over, smaller than those that self-detonated, but looked more advanced.
"Now you don't have mechs, and I do." General Johnson said, "Just like old Stark, when he commanded me with his new invention, and now it's my turn!" ”
"Ahem...... It's been decades, and you haven't figured out one thing. Obadiah's voice came, "Dressed in an iron shell, it is useless at all. ”
Hearing this, Stark exhaled a breath, slowly relaxing the muscles in his shoulders, and he said as if talking to himself, "...... Maybe he's right, they're all right. Just having an iron shell, which really doesn't use anything, won't make me feel better at all. ”
Rhodes stared ahead, the tall robots making them look even smaller with their bare hands, and he said, "Don't be emotional, don't you think we should think of a way now?" ”
Stark glanced up at the army of robots that surrounded him, then he turned to look at Rhodes and said, "Do you think we're like them?" ”
"No, you're worse than your father."
On a blackened wasteland that had been blasted by the explosion, Stark looked down and touched his chest, compared to the huge robots on the other side, they seemed weak, but Stark was not in a hurry, his tone relaxed, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
Then, in the darkness of the night, only the glimmer of the robot's eyes, like a starry star, Stark turned to Rod and asked:
"Would you like a cigarette?"
