Cheating players in Marvel

EP084. Mantis Catching Cicadas

Pure military research institutions are often set up in inaccessible places to maintain confidentiality.

But if it is not so pure, such as some institutions that also conduct research and development of civilian products.

Either to save the time and cost of transporting materials, or to attract outside investors to visit, they often do not stray too far from the city, and may even directly choose to settle in the most prosperous downtown area.

Sitting in the car, he observed the expressions of the soldiers and thought that most likely they would not answer his questions. Shi Xiaolei simply did not take the initiative to ask where the destination of this trip was.

But secretly, he kept pinching his wrist, counting how many times his pulse beat, and estimating how far he had traveled.

It has probably been more than twenty minutes since I got on the bus.

Outside the tightly sealed curtains, there was a faint light from the street lamp. Observing the interval between the two flashes of the street lamp, I roughly estimated the driving speed of the car. Combined with the estimated speed of the 'pulse pinch'

After some time, Shi Xiaolei probably made some judgments.

The destination should not be in a city, at least, not on Manhattan Island.

Where are you going?

Although the soldiers had just revealed their identities and said that they were sent by the military, from Shi Xiaolei's point of view, he would not fully accept this statement.

After all, he is a time traveler and has had contact with SHIELD. Therefore, he also thought of another possibility...perhaps it is the Hydra hidden in SHIELD? With their energy

, whether it’s finding someone to pretend to be fake soldiers, or secretly sending a team of real soldiers who don’t know the truth, it’s not that difficult.

"It's best not to be Hydra." Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but feel irritated when he thought of Hydra.

If it was really a spontaneous act by the military, with SHIELD and Stark stepping forward, it would not be difficult to solve. But if it were replaced by Hydra... you can guess that there will definitely be a lot more to come.

It's troublesome, and it's the kind of trouble that neither SHIELD nor Stark can solve immediately. If he is involved, his peaceful life will definitely be disturbed, and he may even never return.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache. Inadvertently, Shi Xiaolei forgot to control his expression and showed a trace of impatience.

Noticing the change in Shi Xiaolei's expression, the squad leader sitting opposite him tightened the rifle in his hand and silently warned Shi Xiaolei.

‘….’ Shi Xiaolei raised his eyes and glanced at the squad leader. He suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and pretended to be as obedient as before.

He thought in his heart, 'When I figure out the situation, I will make you look good sooner or later', but what Shi Xiaolei never expected was that at the same time that he had this idea, a huge explosion suddenly came from outside.

There were four vehicles in total, and the one leading the way was hit by a rocket that flew from nowhere.

The violent fire was accompanied by a thunderous explosion. Under the action of its own inertia, the light jeep rolled and flew up, and hit a lamppost on the roadside firmly.

The impact force of several tons is not something that a mere street lamp can withstand.

With a squeaking sound, the metal lamppost broke and hit the middle of the road with a string of electric sparks. Together with the wreckage of the Jeep that occupied a small half of the path, it blocked the path of several cars behind.

That's not all. The car at the rear of the convoy was also attacked by two rockets.

There were two more balls of fire rising into the sky... Although it was not a jeep with the driver's seat exposed, and the car was equipped with a layer of armor, the defensive power of that thing was still a bit poor. At most, it could only defend against gunfire.

Under the attack of these two armor-piercing rockets, it was just like paper, and its fate was not much better than that of the Jeep that opened the road.

The situation happened too quickly and suddenly. In an instant, two vehicles and less than half of the team members were lost.

Shocked and angry, the squad leader shouted immediately: "Counterattack~! Call for support~!"

No one dared to stay in the car. All the soldiers jumped out of the car and used the vehicle as a cover to fight back against the enemy who suddenly jumped out.

Shi Xiaolei was the only one who was locked in the car by the last soldier who got out of the car.

"Hey, hey~! You can't do this, let me go down too~!"

"Shut up~!" Without bothering to argue with Shi Xiaolei, the squad leader locked the car door, raised the muzzle of his gun, and fired a string of bullets.

There was only a palm-wide observation opening on the rear door, so Shi Xiaolei couldn't see what was going on outside. In turn, the soldiers who were busy engaging the enemy outside could not see what he was doing in the car.

In order to save his own life, Shi Xiaolei put on the equipment without hesitation - two vehicles have been blown to pieces, a living example before his eyes. Compared with the armor that comes with the vehicle body, he is still more

Believe in this iron shell that you bought with real money.

But what surprised him was that the gunfight lasted for five or six minutes, and the guys who jumped out of nowhere never used rockets to attack the car he was in.

It felt a bit like a scene from a blockbuster movie. After thinking about it for a while, Shi Xiaolei understood that it was obvious that the target of those people was also him.

Whether it was out of good intentions and he wanted to rescue, or whether he had ulterior motives, there was only one reason to continue attacking without using rockets, and that was to ensure that he could survive the gun battle.

In this case, there is no need to worry.

Thinking that the soldiers outside were not from the same group as him and there was no need to jump out to help them, Shi Xiaolei gathered his mood and sat firmly in the car. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes as if listening to a symphony.

, with a leisurely expression, he listened to the noise coming from outside the car.

The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, that is right now.

Shi Xiaolei, who was staying in the car, was not anxious at all, but Stark, who was coming from Los Angeles, was anxious to the point of getting angry.

That's right, because of his previous instructions, Jarvis has been tracking the convoy's whereabouts.

Although the location of the gunfight was no longer in the city, and there were no traffic monitors around for Jarvis to borrow, it still captured the scene through the satellite in the sky and reported it to Tony Stark.

.

"Damn~! Jarvis, focus the energy on the thrusters."

"Sir, long-term overload propulsion will cause irreparable damage to the thruster..."

"I can't control that much now, just do as I say~!" Stark gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"As you wish." Jarvis accepted the instruction: "Please be prepared to resist the impact and accelerate the countdown to 5,4,3,2,1~."

As the countdown ended, the flames under Tony's feet suddenly grew thicker, and the speed of the steel armor suddenly increased a lot.

The abnormal noise caused by breaking the sound barrier and the G-force caused by the sudden increase in speed made Stark, who was wrapped in armor, really uncomfortable.

However, in order to rush to New York as soon as possible and rescue his friend who was in danger, he still endured the discomfort, with a resolute and determined look on his face.
