The Death Knell

“It’s really nice to be able to enjoy the singing and dancing up close and even participate in it yourself.”

Little Pepper said with a smile. Her face may have turned a little red due to exercise, and some soft hair on her forehead stuck to her temples with sweat. She stretched out her hand to talk about them, and then faced the sea and felt the sea breeze. Comes cool.

But at this time, she also saw the surging white lines on the sea level. Under the moonlight, the movement pattern that was different from the waves was actually quite obvious.

"Are you planning any other projects? For example, a motorboat show?"

She asked Tony next to her that Monopoly did not dance. After he returned to the boat, the wine glass seemed to follow gravity and fell into his hand. The brown liquid inside looked golden under the light.

"Is there such an arrangement?" Tony didn't remember. He squinted and looked at the horizon under the moon. There was indeed something coming over there: "I'll call the public relations company and ask... .”

"It's an orangutan, countless gorillas." At this time, Wade behind them spoke, holding a children's telescope in his hand and wearing a plush monkey hood on his head: "I don't think he is the person you hired. It was arranged, after all, you are past the age of watching monkey ball."

"I'm still young. Besides, how could an orangutan come from the sea... You mean monkey ball? Show me."

Tony snatched the plastic telescope away, and the rope hanging the telescope was tied around Wade's neck. He stuck out his tongue and struggled.

This children's toy does not have functions such as zoom. To put it bluntly, it is just a few pieces of glass, but the optics are so wonderful that it can bring things far away in front of you.

Sure enough, there are countless monkey balls, or gorilla balls, on the sea, which are like things that were popular in circuses in the past.

The principle is very simple, that is, put the monkey into a large transparent plastic ball, fill the ball with air and seal it, and then put the monkey ball into the inflatable swimming pool. Due to buoyancy, the monkey ball will float on the water.

The monkeys are very panicked when they see the water. They will scream and jump around in the ball, so the ball will roll on the water, and people can see its expressions and movements and get cruel fun from it.

Tony came from a good family and had been freed from such low tastes since he was a child. What was the point of a large group of people crowded into a circus tent to watch animals being tortured? Where can I find it fun to build a robotic mouse at home?

However, circus performances were all done when he was a child. In the following years, with the growing power of the Animal Protection Association, the circus no longer even allowed tigers to get into the fire ring, let alone monkeys or orangutans that looked somewhat like humans. .

The monkey ball has also become a kind of water amusement project. Now people can get in and play on the water by themselves. You can see that kind of thing in many ocean parks and amusement parks with lakes.

Not all animals are immune. For example, the hamster balls that have become popular in recent years are, to put it bluntly, the same thing as monkey balls. The Animal Protection Association does not protect them.

Tony threw away the binoculars, and Wade breathed a sigh of relief and kept touching his neck.

The rich man didn't hesitate. Although he didn't know why so many Planets of the Apes suddenly appeared on the sea, it was undoubtedly a threat.

The weight of an adult gorilla can even be four times that of a human male, and the strength and speed are also very powerful. Moreover, he always felt that the fur of these orangutans glowed faintly red under the moonlight, which was too wrong.

"Get to the cabin, all of you!"

Tony's expression became serious. He waved his hands and shouted loudly, asking the people who were still dancing and playing music to stop and hide in the cabin.

Pepper wanted to say something else, but Tony raised his finger to signal her to be quiet and obedient, and then he contacted Jarvis, the artificial intelligence in New York's Stark Tower, by phone:

"I need MK3, and I need it now."

Tony is somewhat dependent on the communication satellites of Wilson Enterprises. He has not launched his own satellite yet, and the mobile phone is pretty easy to use anyway.

"The assembly is not all finished yet, are you sure, sir?"

Jarvis's electronic sound came from the microphone, sounding slightly distorted. With the tsunami-like sound getting closer and closer, the atmosphere couldn't help but become tense.

"I'm very sure that someone sent tens of thousands of orangutans to murder me. I don't know which terrorist organization is responsible. Please help me check this matter. There are not even one million orangutans on the earth. It's impossible to do this. There are no warnings for large-scale migration.”

Tony sniffed, pushed Pepper's back, and took her into the cabin, and the AI ​​had already completed its work:

"Your signal location has been locked. Please bring your mobile phone with you. The launch of the MK3 armor has been completed and it has entered the first cruising speed. The estimated arrival time is four minutes and twenty seconds." After receiving the confirmation, Jarvis launched the armor. via autopilot

"I must carry it with me. After all, it will automatically alarm when it is separated by ten meters... record the work log and remind me that I need a new portable armor and at the same time improve the thruster power."

"Recording complete, have a nice day."

Tony didn't know if he would be happy after more than four minutes, but now he planned to find a safe place to check the situation.

As a Monopoly yacht, it still has some security facilities. For example, it is extremely sturdy, not easy to sink, and has a large amount of food and water reserves.

But Tony always felt that he could live with just a face in the United States, and never thought that he would be attacked.

This also resulted in the fact that there were no armors or missile launchers on his ship, and all the weapons at this time were Happy's M1911 pistol and three magazines.

"Crack! Crack!"

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a metal buckle being attached. When he turned around, he saw that Wade was squatting on the ground, taking out two MP5 submachine guns from his small pink schoolbag, and was just pulling out the telescopic gun stock. , loading bullets.

Although the schoolbag may not look big, it still contains several pistols, some grenades, and a large amount of ammunition. In short, it looks like a sense of security.

"Are you sure these orangutans are here to kill you?"

Wade smiled and licked his lips. Isn't this business just coming? There is not much difference between an orangutan and a human. He can be killed with a single shot to the head. It seems that Tony needs extra security services in these few minutes.

I wonder how much he plans to give?

Tony pushed Pepper into the hatch, leaned against the green bulkhead, and squatted next to Wade: "Besides me, is there anyone in Miami worth killing? Don't think about it, they must be coming for me."

"Tsk, what you said makes sense." Wade pulled the monkey mask on his head and looked at Thor who had taken a folding chair as a weapon at some point: "Do you need bodyguard service? ?I’m super strong.”

"My armor will fly over in four minutes. Not to mention these orangutans, even if it is replaced by the same number of Donkey Kongs, I can handle it myself."

Tony touched his beard. As a superhero, he was more inclined to let Wade and the others take refuge.

Wade kept shaking his head, put his index finger gently on Tony's lips, and pulled it from top to bottom: "Shh... Of course you are fine, but other people on the ship must also be protected, right? What do you think of us?"

Iron Man looked like a dead fish, spat several times to the side, and kept wiping his mouth.

Wade might have touched his feet without washing his hands, and his fingers were smelly, so he touched his mouth. It was absolutely disgusting.

But I have to admit that the other party is right. If he goes to fight those orangutans, it would be very unsafe for Happy to be the only one in the cabin responsible for protecting so many people.

And with Wade, who has been certified as a 'dangerous person' by Happy, the safety at this time has been improved, at least the orangutan will not be allowed to easily enter the lower cabin.

"Ok, I......"

Tony had already planned to hire Wade as a temporary worker, but at this moment he only heard an angry roar from Thor next to him:

"For Asgard!"

Then he grabbed the folding chair and rushed out of the side of the ship. He made a big splash and disappeared.

"Hey! Is your friend something unusual here?"

Tony looked at Wade and pointed at his head, indicating something clearly.

The mercenary wearing a monkey hood stood up and sighed slowly. It seemed that he still had a long way to go in his role as bodyguard and teaching...
