Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#775 - AIM Group

After the video finished playing, everyone turned their gaze to Maya Hansen.

"… So, that's why I came to Stark for help. Not every test subject succeeds. What you saw were just the worst-case scenarios when undergoing Extremis virus modification.

But besides those, even among those who temporarily succeed, instability can occur.

They need regular and quantitative injections of reagents, otherwise, they will still explode due to loss of control. I've had enough of this endless loss.

So, when those pharmaceutical capitalists approached me, I almost immediately chose to disengage from the cooperation with Killian and his people."

Maya spread her hands towards the crowd, looking embarrassed, guilty, and helpless.

However, before anyone else could react, the intelligent AI, Xiaowu, brought good news again.

"Report, Master! Xiaowu has just located War Machine and the kidnapped President by monitoring surveillance cameras across the United States.

They are currently in a private commercial port near Miami, where a cargo ship belonging to Roxxon Oil Company is docked.

In addition, the man named Killian is also present. They seem to be preparing for another live television event."

"They've been found? Good job, Xiaowu!"

Nick Fury, holding his phone, walked over quickly. After looking at the real-time images transmitted by Xiaowu through the holographic sandbox and confirming that the person appearing in the surveillance footage was the President himself, he turned his gaze to Liang Yue beside him.

"We need your support now."

At the same time, Stark and Steve had tacitly merged with their armors again, leaving Rhode standing there alone, looking at him with expectant eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Yue waved his hand helplessly.

The next moment, another set of universal Iron Man armor was sent up from under the floor by Xiaowu.

Rhode quickly stepped forward, put on the armor, and ran to the cargo container by the wall to select weapons.

"What actions will S.H.I.E.L.D. take next?"

Liang Yue then turned his head, looked at the black director who already had a confident look on his face, and asked with some disgust.

Now, from the beginning to the present, although Liang Yue said he would not participate in this operation, in fact, he has been contributing from start to finish.

Although the people actually doing the work are Stark and Steve, and now Colonel Rhode is added.

But without his armor, weapons, ammunition, and the support of space doors anytime and anywhere, these people probably wouldn't even make it to the first scene.

I said I wouldn't participate, but I'm the one doing all the work…

Egghead only brought a mouth ~

This situation is indeed somewhat unpleasant.

"Of course, we will take action. In the aftermath of this incident, we will conduct an in-depth investigation of this AIM group and all organizations and individuals related to it based on relevant information.

This will involve a large amount of manpower and material resources. Therefore, I hope that you can still provide us with some backup support at that time."

After saying that, Nick Fury's only remaining eye cast a hopeful gaze at him.

"Go find the U.S. government. Our cooperation has expired."

Saying that, Liang Yue looked back at Rhode, who had already selected his equipment, and the other two who were ready to go.

With a thought, another space channel instantly connected to the private port displayed on the panoramic sandbox.

Through the space door, Liang Yue and others could even hear the sound coming from the loudspeakers on the opposite side.

Seeing this, Stark and the other two didn't dare to delay anything. They immediately filed in, crouching down, and stepped through the space channel.

"Don't close the door ~"

At this time, Rhode suddenly turned his head and said this to Liang Yue.

Then, the whole person suddenly leaped upwards, jumping three feet high, and the thrusters under his feet were activated.

With a "whoosh ~" sound!

He crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and jumped to the side of the President who was being hoisted into the air.

With a flick of his hand, a laser sword about a meter long suddenly popped out.

With two quick swipes, the two iron chains, one on the left and one on the right, were neatly cut through.

Immediately afterward, Rhode carried the U.S. President, who was wearing the War Machine armor, in a princess carry, made a hairpin turn in the air, and flew back with a whoosh.

Seeing this, the group of people on the dock quickly opened fire to counterattack.

"Bang ~" "Bang ~" "Bang ~" "Pa Pa ~"…

For a time, bullets flew everywhere like raindrops. Some of them, who had good marksmanship, even accurately hit Rhode, who was flying quickly.

Unfortunately, they couldn't even spark a single spark.

In a few breaths, he flew back to the opposite side of the space door with the President and carefully put him down.

At this time, Stark and Steve were naturally not idle either.

One flew directly into the sky, relying on the heavy firepower on his body, to strafe and bomb the group of people below, and the other held a shield and led the firepower all the way, sniping the enemies one by one.

"Mr. President, please stay on the other side for a while. It's very safe there. We'll send you home after we finish the battle here."

After pushing the current U.S. President into the laboratory on this side, Rhode jumped up again, flew into the air, and joined Stark and Captain America in battle.

Seeing this, Liang Yue closed the space channel and tapped the chest of the War Machine twice. The Iron Man armor, which was originally invaded and controlled by AIM, suddenly opened from the chest.

The President inside lost his footing and fell out directly.

Nick Fury, who seemed to have been prepared for this, quickly helped him up.

"Are you alright, Mr. President ~"

"Oh ~ Director Fury, it's good to see you! Where are we now?"

The U.S. President gasped a few times at this time, looking around with an excited look.

"We are in a manor in northern New York, adjacent to Stark's new industrial park and Ms. Liu's gene sanatorium. I think you should have heard of this place."

"Oh ~ so it's here. That's great. I didn't expect I could come back alive this time."

"Don't worry. As far as I know, your kidnapping has not been reported in the media yet."

While speaking, Coulson had already carried a sofa over from the side, and Pepper had poured a cup of spiritual tea for the President.

Betty had even pushed over the small cart containing afternoon tea ~

However, Liang Yue didn't bother to pay attention to this politician, but instead focused his attention on the sandbox next to him.

Through the live broadcast from the intelligent AI, Xiaowu, it could be seen that the port at this time had been turned into a sea of fire under the joint attack of Stark, Steve, and Rhode.

Explosions and flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed, rising and falling ~

Some were the products of oil drums instantly igniting under the coverage of firepower, and some were human bombs transformed after the Extremis virus modifiers were killed.

Under the accurate strikes of sufficient long-range artillery and large-caliber firepower, these mutants had no resistance at all.

Even Killian, who was the most successful in the virus modification, couldn't hold on after eating three laser cannons from Stark in a row, and directly turned into a blooming firework.

In just five or six minutes, the battle on the dock ended.

When Steve and Rhode were cleaning up the battlefield, they were lucky enough to find two surviving workers from a collapsed ruin.
