Scream.

Cry.

Pain and many other sounds overlapped and stirred.

The sound of explosions, collisions, and even the roaring gunshots were endless.

The streets that used to be clean and tidy are now like a meat grinder with all its output, adding new flesh and blood every moment.

Whether it is the vehicles, the public facilities on both sides of the street, or the shops and residences on both sides of the road, or the ordinary people on the street who have not had time to evacuate, or simply are scared by this torrent of steel.

They were easily torn to shreds.

In the face of this torrent of steel composed of hundreds of steel mechas, the sporadic resistance of human beings did not play a role at all.

On the contrary, it makes the mechanical life composed of steel in this torrent of steel even more brutal.

Corpse?

No.

Wherever the torrent of steel passed, let alone a complete corpse, it was lucky to be able to leave a stump and a broken arm.

What's more, it is a puddle of flesh and mud soaked in blood after being trampled by the torrent of steel, and it is even impossible to tell which part of the human body these things come from.

"Vomit ······"

After Pepper on the side saw the flesh and blood that was magnified by Jarvis, he subconsciously covered his mouth, hugged the trash can on the side and retched.

And Tony Stark, who saw this scene, had an equally ugly face.

"Damn, where the hell did these things come from?"

Jarvis: "According to the road facilities that were destroyed by the steel robots, this is where the robots first appeared······"

With Jarvis' narration.

A projection screen in front of Tony suddenly zoomed in.

Then one shows a huge factory located on the outskirts.

"It's ······"

Looking at the factory projected by Jarvis, Tony felt a little inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it from somewhere.

Without waiting for Tony to recall, Jarvis answered Tony's doubts first.

"Hanmer Industries' No. 1 Arsenal is also the largest arsenal of Hanmer Industries."

"According to the information I have just extracted from the invasion of Hammer Industries, since you piloted the Mark Armor and was called Iron Man by countless people, Hammer Industries has been trying to copy your legend, and for this reason, he also paid a lot of money to poach the engineer who once built the Iron Overlord for Obadia, and hired him to become the chief engineer of Hammer Industries, with the intention of creating a steel armor belonging to Hammer Industries."

"In the past few months, Hammer Industries has sent a large number of precious materials and special resources to Arsenal No. 1, especially in the last half month, the number of those resources has multiplied exponentially."

"Now it seems that their research ······· It worked??? ”

In the end, Jarvis, who is an artificial intelligence, is also a little confused.

Let's say success.

Can the steel robots that wreak havoc on that street and mercilessly slaughter ordinary people be said to be successful?

Although Justin Hammer's Hammer Industries has always been a knock-off of poor quality, it is unlikely that a copycat is a product specially created to slaughter civilians.

If that's the case, Justin Hammer and his Hammer Industries, let alone making money, will first have to bear the wrath of all of New York, and even the entire Federation.

I guess it didn't work out.

According to the information shown by road surveillance and those images taken by satellites.

The power of these robots created by Hammer Industries is not weak at all.

Ordinary civilian pistols can't do the slightest damage to these robots.

And the weapons on their bodies can easily cause a large number of casualties to ordinary people.

The only damaged robot in the surveillance was knocked off by a large truck at full power.

"What a success!"

After hearing Jarvis's words, Tony Stark scolded angrily: "Justin's idiot imitated the robot, is it so that he can slaughter civilians?" ”

After scolding, Tony Stark's swift captain Jarvis ordered, "Jarvis, contact Rod as quickly as possible, this time, I need support." ”

Looking at the dense steel robots on the projection screen, carrying countless weapons, Tony Stark's face was extremely solemn.

So many robots.

Even if their strength is not as good as their own Mark armor.

But quantity overpowers quality, and two fists are hard to beat four.

Even though he had just upgraded Mark's armor to a level, Tony Stark still had no bottom in the face of the dense torrent of steel on the screen.

So······

He simply called for foreign help.

Soon, Air Force Colonel Rhodes' phone was answered.

The moment the phone was connected, there was a shrill alarm on the other end of the phone, and a series of running sounds.

After hearing the cacophony on the other end of the phone, Tony was stunned for a moment, and then flashed a flash of joy.

"Rod, do you already know that something happened in New York at your base?"

"Huh?" Rod, who had just answered the phone on the other end of the phone, was stunned first, and then recalled those experiences, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Tony, don't tell me that this matter has something to do with you again, let me tell you that according to the information I received, it seems that a large number of civilians died this time, if it really has anything to do with you, you just wait to go to the military court!" ”

Hearing that Roger subconsciously blamed himself for this incident, Tony was also angry and said:

", the robots that slaughtered civilians on the streets this time were produced by Justin Hammer's Hammer Industries, even if it really went to court-martial, it was Justin Hammer who went to it, what does it have to do with me."

"Hoo ······" After hearing that this matter had nothing to do with Tony, Rod let out a long breath.

Over the years, Rod has wiped Tony's ass countless times.

And this time, he was really scared.

I'm afraid that the thing I just heard has something to do with Tony Stark.

After all, to a certain extent, he and Tony Stark have long become a community of interests, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

If Tony did cause a major accident, he would be doomed as well.

Fortunately, this time it was just a false alarm.

After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Rod said, "Justin Hammer? Robots, what the hell is going on? And what are you calling me for? ”

"I don't know about Justin Hammer, I only know that the robots he created are massacring civilians, and I called you this time to ask your military to send troops as soon as possible to stop those robots from slaughtering civilians."

"I don't have time to explain too much, I'll go over and stop those robots for a while, and your military will arrive as soon as possible, just by me······ There's no way to stop so many robots! ”

Rhodes, who was putting on his equipment and preparing to go into battle in person: "Nonsense, it is our soldier's duty to protect civilians, even if I don't need you to say it, I will arrive as soon as possible." ”

"That's good, I'll wait for you on the battlefield······"

After saying that, Tony Stark hung up the phone, and then quickly walked up to the lifting platform, intending to let Jarvis help him put on the Mark VI Warframe that he had just upgraded.

"Tony ······"

Seeing that Tony was leaving, Pepper, who was retching for a while while holding the trash can, walked over with a worried face.

Looking at Pepper as she approached, Tony went up and gave her a hug, then put his mouth to Pepper's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take care of those knockoffs." ”

Pepper, who knew she couldn't change Tony's decision, pursed her lips, stretched out her hands and hugged Tony tightly, and then said, "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry, wait for me to come back."

Patting Pepper on the back, Tony quickly reflexed, stretched out his hands, and stood on what looked like a lifting platform.

With the turning of the gears and the sound of the parts fitting.

In just three seconds, Mark VI was dressed on Tony.

After Tony, who was in the armor, nodded at Pepper, two jets of flame rose from under Mark's feet.

The next second.

The golden-red Mark armor, from the huge window that had just been opened by Jarvis, quickly pierced the night sky with a "whoosh" sound, and disappeared into the night sky of New York like a meteor.

"Tony ······"

Looking at Tony Stark's figure disappearing into the night, Pepper glanced at the images that Jarvis kept projecting, and couldn't help but feel worried in his clear and capable eyes in the past.

"Didi, Warning, Warning······"

That's when it happened.

A shrill siren rang out in the Stark Building.

Jarvis, who was constantly tracking the torrent of steel, projected a red screen in front of Pepper in the next second.

Jarvis: "Miss Pepper, according to the analysis of the travel route, the ultimate target of the Hammer Industries group of robots is likely to be the Stark Building, according to the safety precautions established by Mr. Stark, I have begun to evacuate all the employees in the Stark Building, please leave the Stark Building as soon as possible." ”

"I've helped you lock the special elevator on the left, which can go directly to the exit of the Stark Building, please take the elevator as soon as possible and leave the Stark Building······"

At this moment, Tony Stark's face, who had just left, was also projected in front of Pepper by Jarvis.

"Pepper, according to Jarvis's analysis, it's likely that the group of robots from Hammer Industries is coming towards the Stark Tower······ Damn, this must be Justin's bastard, I knew he was looking at me for a long time. ”

"You leave Stark Mansion right away, and then ······ Well, then go to Erin's boy, with his ability, he will definitely be able to protect you. ”

Looking at Tony on the screen, Pepper nodded.

"Okay, I'll go to Erin right away, but if those robots from Hammer Industries are really coming for us Stark Industries, you must be careful over there."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful, and this time the military's response is very fast, the fighter planes in Rhodes' base are ready to take off, I just need to try my best to block those copycat robots before they arrive."

Look at the screen that goes out quickly.

Pepper gritted his teeth and quickly ran to the special elevator that was locked by Jarvis.

If those people from Hammer Industries were really coming for Stark Industries, or Tony, no one knew what other moves they hadn't tried.

Until all is clear, Pepper must keep herself safe.

She didn't want to cause Tony on the battlefield to be distracted by her own affairs.

Of course.

As the CEO of Stark Industries, Pepper won't sit still.

Quickly go downstairs and leave the Stark Mansion at the same time.

Pepper also dialed one number after another on her phone.

And the owners of these numbers are either the federal army, the big names in the political circles, or the giants who control the federal media.

In the past, Stark Industries spent a lot of resources to maintain relations with them, and now, it's time for these people to help Stark Industries.

·········

As Pepper dialed out one phone call after another.

Today, New York, which is already lively, seems to have become more noisy.

With the network of contacts of the old behemoth Stark Industries running, the New York General Administration, which had just received a call from the mayor, quickly mobilized a large number of police forces, and then rushed to the road of the steel torrent under the leadership of a special police combat force.

And the federal military, which had already been filmed by satellite, had filmed robots slaughtering federal civilians.

Even the federal Department of Defense was quick to call the major military districts near New York.

After receiving the order.

The army was moving rapidly, one after another armored vehicles, quickly driving out of the military area, and behind them, a series of hideous tanks, driving the thick muzzles, advanced at full speed.

And before these armored vehicles were dispatched.

Fighter planes loaded with gunpowder and missiles quickly broke the sound barrier and broke through the air amid the roar of their engines.

·······················

What no one knows.

Just when the Federation dispatched countless troops and SWAT officers to fight the mechanical beings who had been revived by Ivan Vanko.

Dr. Kurt Connors' villa.

Looking at the computer display, the deadline for the end of the month is approaching.

Dr. Connors's eyes flashed with reluctance and madness.

After a long time, he silently picked up a genetic potion that he had smuggled home, and then loaded it into the injection gun that had been prepared by him.

Look at the recorders and cameras that have been turned on a long time ago.

Unwilling to accept the trial being shut down, Kurt Connors made the craziest decision of his life.

He decided to inject the prepared GMO into his body.

Test the efficacy of this tube of genetic medicine by yourself to see if it can really regenerate yourself from a broken limb and restore a healthy body as you guessed.
