Chapter 51: Iron-Clad Ambition (Part 2)

A few days later, Pepper came to see the injured Stark and he was discharged from the hospital. The driver drove Pepper and Stark out of the Presbyterian Hospital and drove onto the main road.

Before they drove far, a violent explosion came from the rear of a car, followed by the sound of a smoke bomb being thrown. The slight sound released a white mist that quickly covered all objects within the field of vision.

Stark hurriedly pressed Pepper down beside him. The sound of bullets hitting the bulletproof glass was endless, causing the whole car to vibrate.

Stark cursed inwardly, took out his phone and was about to call the mecha, but Pepper pushed him and said, "Damn it, your injury hasn't healed yet, call Rod first and let him drive the mecha!"

Before Stark could refute, Pepper snatched the phone, hid under the seat of the car, and called Rod and said, "Tony and I were attacked on the way out of the hospital! Call someone for us!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a huge vibration from the ground, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground accompanied by mechanical clicks sounded around. Stark looked back and saw several huge robots surrounding them outside the car window.

The driver in the front seat had been shot, and Stark had to climb into the driver's seat by himself. Pepper stroked her hair and said, "Turn right to the square, and the support can see us at a glance!"

Fortunately, Stark's safety car was of good quality. He instantly ignited and accelerated, and began to flee for his life.

He hammered the steering wheel and said, "Fortunately, we are leaving the hospital at night!"

Then he looked back and saw five or six large robots chasing after him. Stark said, "I have to go out to fight. If they plan to self-destruct here, it will be bad!"

"This is the center of the city, and it is not far from the Presbyterian Hospital. If so many robots explode here, I am afraid the entire hospital will be razed to the ground!"

The car was getting faster and faster, and Stark could no longer control the car. He turned and drifted, leaving black marks on the ground with the tires, and the harsh sound of brakes spread far away.

Seeing that the nearest robot was about to jump onto the car, Stark heard a bang, and a figure hanging in the air kicked the robot on the head and kicked it out.

Peter landed on the roof with a thud, poked his head into the cab and said, "Am I here 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 guys run over, all the cars will be trampled into scrap metal by them!"

After that, he fired another spider silk, which quickly stuck to the wall of the building, and then stepped on the robots to shuttle until they were all pissed off.

One of the robots raised its arm and fired a rocket at him. There was a loud explosion, and Spider-Man was unharmed, but the door of a store was blown off, and the clerk inside was scratched by broken glass. Spider-Man had to rush in to rescue him.

"It seems that Spider-boy is also out of time." Stark said, "These guys made too much noise, someone must go and rescue them."

Pepper said, "Rod must have called 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. Then he looked up and saw the shadow of a helicopter covering the car. Rod hung on the door of the helicopter and shouted to him, "Drive south!!! Quick!!! We can't fight them here!! That will kill a lot of people!!"

Stark gritted his teeth and twisted the steering wheel hard. The car rushed to the left, turned, hit two road posts, and then hit a street corner hard.

Stark opened the damaged car door, and Pepper was a little dizzy. Stark protected her and got out of the car.

Spider-Man directly used spider silk to tear off two huge street lamps, and then waved one of them, causing a lot of trouble for those robots. Stark shouted: "Jarvis! Arm!"

Soon, a golden and red mecha flew over. After Iron Man finished arming, he first carried Pepper to the roof and put her in a safe place. Then, Rod also put on the mecha.

This is a small factory that manufactures machine parts, but fortunately, because it was too late, the workers were basically off work, and the security guards who heard the noise had already fled. When the robots arrived, Iron Man and Rod were waiting for them with their hands rubbed.

Little Spider swung over from behind, followed by Captain America, because those big guys trampled all the way from the city, many people were injured, and Little Spider's organizational ability was not good enough, and it was all up to Steve to evacuate the crowd.

Although Peter's close combat skills were not strong enough, he was strong, fast and flexible, making those tin cans dizzy and creating a good output environment for Iron Man.

Sparks from several palm cannons caused a small explosion. Iron Man quickly shuttled among the giant robots. Rhodes also knocked down two robots. He shouted, "We can't go on like this! If they explode together, none of us can escape!"

"This is wrong, very wrong..." Stark only realized now, "These robots are definitely not the work of Obadiah. Even if he took away the core energy, he couldn't make so many robots in such a short time. This requires a complete military industry chain. Stark's military industry production line is in Pepper's hands. Obadiah can't hide it from her and produce so many at once..."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the big robots hit by his palm cannon rushed towards him. Spider-Man shouted on the other side: "Get out of the way!!! It's dangerous!!!"

Iron Man's armor was turned to the maximum power, and it was pulled up rapidly. With a loud bang, a charred pit was blown out on the spot.

"Fortunately, I modified the jet power, otherwise I couldn't withstand such a big impact."

As he said, he dived down again, quickly hugged a robot and threw it out. This time Iron Man learned his lesson. After throwing it out, he immediately turned around and flew back. Sure enough, there was another violent explosion soon.

Stark reacted quickly, but Steve behind him was not so lucky. He used his shield to resist the aftermath of the impact, but was still blown up.

"Damn it! What the hell is this!"

Iron Man floated in the air, looking at the charred wreckage on the ground, he said: "I recognize it, it is the No. 7 part before the transformation, the version I gave to the military..."

He looked back at Rhodes who was still fighting with the robot, silently pulled up the mecha, and then went to deal with the next enemy.

Continuous explosions sounded, but other robots joined the battle, and this place was almost blown into ruins.

It must be said that this tactic is very effective. A large number of explosions are always accompanied by strong shocks, which makes several people busy dealing with it. What's more cunning is that once a robot wants to escape from this war zone, the superheroes have to take the initiative to chase and catch them, otherwise once they explode in a residential area, it will be bad.

Although Iron Man gradually figured out the pattern, the interval between the two attacks was too short, and he had no time to improve his armor to deal with this kind of self-destructive infantry. Two consecutive explosions sounded, and Iron Man was knocked out, and a series of sparks came out of his armor.

Seeing that he missed, four or five robots surrounded him in an instant, and they did not intend to fight Iron Man in close combat. They had only one goal, which was to use the explosion to kill him.

Just when the red light on the chest of the first robot flashed, the ground shook again, and a violent roar sounded. A huge arm grabbed the robot and threw it out at once, causing it to hit the wall and explode.

A steel monster that was two times bigger than the self-destructing robots appeared. Iron Man got up from the ground and flew into the air. He said, "What the hell, what is this? Where did they get so many robots?!"

The steel monster tore a self-destructing robot in half and dug out the bomb in its chest. Rhodes was also confused. He said, "What's going on? Why are they fighting each other?!"

"Can't you see it? They are not the same group of people!" Captain America shouted.

The situation on the field is now extremely complicated. The superheroes have to deal with the self-destructing robots to prevent them from rushing out and exploding. The steel monster seems to just want to tear these robots apart.

Iron Man didn't know who to fight for a while, and Spider-Man didn't care. He was an enemy of the world. While tripping the self-destructing robot with spider silk, he also punched the steel monster.

After a while, the self-destructing robots were almost solved. They were either thrown out and exploded, or the bombs were dug out.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw a huge figure appear on the top of the building opposite. An enlarged version of the self-destructing robot jumped down. It was also painted black and gold, but it was more than three times larger than Iron Man's mecha. It made a huge roar when it landed.

"Oh my God, what is this? I have never seen so many robots in my life!" Peter said, "Are they still a family of three?"

Captain America walked over with a shield and said, "If that's the case, then from the size, you know who is the son."

"You didn't keep our promise!" The robot that just jumped down made a sound,

"You tricked me..." The steel monster also said, obviously, these two robots were manned.

Stark showed a shocked expression, he and Rhodes said almost in unison: "Uncle Obadiah!", "General Johnson!"

But before they could ask what was going on, the two huge steel robots got entangled together.

It can be seen that although these two robots are very powerful, their two drivers are obviously not very skilled and they use rogue boxing techniques in the fight. You punch me and I punch you.

Iron Man was stunned in mid-air. He didn't know who to help. Jarvis had just done a voice analysis for him. The person who spoke was indeed Obadiah, but what was going on? Were these self-destructing robots really not made by Obadiah? What about that General Johnson? Did the two of them want to unite to deal with him, but they had an internal conflict? ? ?

Iron Man felt that it seemed wrong for him to help anyone now, so he could only float in mid-air and watch the fun.

The steel monster punched General Johnson's mecha. With a bang, the cockpit panel exploded. General Johnson took a step back, then waved his arms and said: ""Howard's little follower! Now you have to stand up to protect his son! It's really ridiculous. When he wanted to close Stark's military industry department, why didn't he ask his good uncle for his opinion! "

"He never took your hard work seriously, but now you have to be his security guard? ! What old Andro said was right. The only right thing Howard did in his life was to find you as a watchdog! "

The steel monster on the opposite side did not make a sound. Then General Johnson took another step back and said to Rod on the other side: "Look, this is your tomorrow! You all like to follow Stark's ass and come whenever he is called, friend? Oh, if he really treats you as a friend, he won't give you some outdated technical information!"

"Our friend on the opposite side has been a watchdog for Howard all his life! What did he get? He didn't even dare to resist!"

Both Rod and Stark were about to speak, but Jarvis issued another fierce warning: "High-energy reaction detected! Please evade immediately! Please evade immediately! Please evade immediately! 3! 2..."

Instantly, another violent mushroom cloud rose up. The big guy driven by General Johnson exploded even more extraordinary. A huge pit of several hundred meters was left on the ground, and half of the factory was blown to pieces.

No one expected him to be so decisive. Iron Man was unable to dodge, and his mecha was almost blown to pieces. The one Rhodes was wearing was completely scrapped. The defense of the steel monster was quite high, but it seemed that it could not stand up.

Perhaps General Johnson had made preparations in advance. He was in the center of the self-explosion but was not killed. Instead, he stood up from a safety cabin with a remote control in his hand.

"You may think that this is the end. On the contrary, this is just the beginning!" General Johnson said.

Stark was hit again and his head was bleeding. He wiped his eyes and helped Rhodes up from the mecha. He said: "Your boss is really too irritable."

"Otherwise, how could I be forced into a desperate situation by him." Rhodes said self-deprecatingly.

"You still don't repent, Colonel Rhodes! Howard had promised Obadiah that none of the things would come true. He still only cared about his own son. Little Stark could shut down the most important military system with just one word, destroying the hard work of the previous generation. How ridiculous! "

"For him, you rejected my request several times and only brought me a set of old and outdated mecha technical information, but what did you get in return? You are just a foil to Iron Man. He is glorious and you are unknown, just like Howard and Obadiah..."

"...The barking of a loser." A voice came from the steel monster still lying on the ground.

"We chose old Andro because you were too stupid. After decades, you still haven't changed at all, so I still didn't choose you, idiot. "

Obadiah's tone was slow and light, and his tone was not like that of a battlefield at all, but this made Johnson even more angry.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the remote control hard, and dozens of robots flew over. They were smaller than those self-destructing robots, but looked more advanced.

"Now you don't have mechas, but I do." General Johnson said, "Just like old Stark back then, he used his new invention to defeat me, and now it's my turn!"

"Ahem... decades later, you still haven't figured out one thing." Obadiah's voice came, "An iron shell is useless."

Hearing this, Stark exhaled and slowly relaxed the muscles in his shoulders. He said as if talking to himself: "...Maybe he is right, they are all right. Just having an iron shell is really useless, and it won't make me feel better at all. "

Rod stared at the front. The tall robots made them look even smaller with their bare hands. He said, "Don't sigh. Don't you think we should think of a solution now?"

Stark looked up at the robot army that surrounded them, then turned to look at Rod and said, "Do you think we are like them?"

"No, you are worse than your father."

On a piece of wasteland that was charred by the explosion, Stark lowered his head and touched his chest. Compared with the huge robots on the opposite side, they seemed weak, but Stark was not in a hurry at all. His tone relaxed, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

Then, in the dark night, only the faint light of the robot's eyes flickered like stars. Stark turned around and asked Rod:

"Would you like a cigarette?"
