Chapter 79 [Iron Man vs. Lizardman! 】
When the Mark 3 rushed into New York City at a top speed of Mach 2.
The Bluelink Bridge is riddled with holes.
More than twenty minutes have passed since the police exchanged fire with the lizard men.
The two sides are still in a stalemate.
"Lower the altitude Jarvis and reduce the power. How much energy is left?"
"Sir, there is 73% energy left. If you still want to fly back, you need to pay attention to energy consumption."
>"I know, now let's play some exciting music to let the people of New York know that their hero has arrived." Tony said happily.
"Okay sir, your favorite rock music has been picked out for you."
"Very good."
Tony didn't take Jarvis's warning to heart.
He remembered that the building in New York was almost completed. Even if the energy consumption was too fast, it would be enough for him to return to his own site.
Now, it’s time to go to the Brooklyn Museum to see the rare tuatara!
Tony turned around, dragging a long wake, and dived down to the area where the exchange of fire was taking place at high speed.
The Bluelink Bridge has been cleared.
Only the Lizardmen were left blocked in the middle by the police at both ends of the bridge.
In addition to the raging fire that ignited after the car explosion on the bridge, the corpses lying on the ground in various miserable states of death were quite dazzling.
Although the American people have long been accustomed to facing gun battles, they fled for their lives very quickly.
However, due to traffic jams, evacuation routes were blocked, and the crowds were too dense, those who walked slowly paid the price.
It doesn’t matter, pay attention in the next life.
"Mr. Director, we have lost track of the big lizard." At the end of the bridge on the Manhattan side, a police inspector was reporting the situation to Director George.
The bridge was obscured by black smoke from burning cars.
As a result, the police lost track of the lizard and did not dare to open fire blindly. There were friendly forces on the other side of the bridge.
But I don’t dare to cease fire. Who knows if the lizard will rush out.
“That big lizard is very smart, it is using smoke to hide itself.”
Another police officer who was fighting alongside the chief stepped back to rest, panting.
He had already emptied six magazines with his rifle, and the recoil was not pleasant.
Not only that.
They have another big problem.
As we all know - lizards are cold-blooded animals. The lizard's body does not have a mechanism to regulate its own temperature, so it needs external help to regulate it.
This means that the police's thermal imaging scanners are useless.
In addition, after being repelled by the fire in the early stage, the Lizardmen became smarter and did not directly confront the police. Instead, they smashed out a burning car to deal with it.
Police officers have been hit and suffered casualties.
Facing a monster that can withstand bullet charges, the police are under great pressure.
"Let everyone cease fire temporarily. The armed police are coming with heavy firepower. Trap that beast and don't let it escape."
Director George lowered his body, stared closely at the black smoke-filled bridge deck, and gave the decisive order.
As an excellent and upright policeman, Chief George also occupies an important supporting role in Marvel.
In The Amazing Spider-Man, he is the father of Gwen Stacy and the father-in-law of Spider-Man Parker. Unfortunately, he and his daughter both died in the end, which is very regrettable.
When a lizard monster appeared on the Brooklyn Bridge and massacred people wantonly, Director George arrived as quickly as possible.
And refused to retreat, but fought on the front line.
At this time, Director George wisely chose to let the police officers defend themselves to avoid meaningless casualties.
Just then
"There it is! That big lizard, at the top of the bridge!"
A cry of surprise came, and Director George stopped talking. Look up.
That’s right! It's that monster.
The lizard man is climbing quickly along the steel cables supporting the bridge towards the steel beams above the building. When compared with the huge steel cable that is as thick as two people, one can see how huge the lizard man is.
Lizardmen climb very quickly.
It was so fast that people realized it was a giant lizard.
“What does it want to do?” a police officer asked.
The next second, the answer is revealed.
Such a scene appeared in Director George's telescope.
——A highly corrosive acidic liquid was sprayed from the lizard's mouth, which was rapidly dissolving the steel cable.
"It wants to destroy the bridge?!"
Director George immediately realized the problem, picked up the walkie-talkie and roared, "Fire! Fire immediately!"
Although George The director didn't think that a big lizard could destroy the bridge casually.
However, even if there are any problems with the bridge, it may lay hidden dangers for future disasters. In the end, the losses caused will be attributed to the incompetence of the police.
When the lizard man emerged from the cover of black smoke, the violent gunfire that had just stopped started again.
“Bang bang bang bang!!!”
Misfortune never comes singly.
The police officer who fired the gun discovered that a long line of white smoke appeared high above the bridge and was diving straight down.
"Oh damn, what is that? A missile?!"
"Hurry and hide, hide!!!"
Obviously, the police officer regarded the object that was diving down at high speed as a launched missile. .
This is not the first time or twice that the U.S. military has behaved inappropriately.
Even using bombs to blow up one's own citizens has happened before, and no one would find this speculation outrageous.
It's just that Director George still doesn't quite believe that the military would be so reckless as to throw a missile over - this is New York!
Poor George, he certainly could not have imagined that in the future, New York would almost be hit not by missiles, but by nuclear weapons!
The brave and fearless Director George did not retreat, but stayed on the front line, staring at the lizard man on the bridge.
It has successfully destroyed a steel cable.
The steel cable broke, and after a burst of crunching and roaring sounds, the steel cable was pulled down hard, knocking over several cars.
"Boom——!"
The leaked gasoline started burning again, aggravating the visual disturbance.
But no one paid attention to this scene. Everyone's attention was attracted by the swooping 'missile'.
The police officers looked fearful.
Close!
The crowd watching outside the cordon began to retreat and flee.
Close!
In the end, as many police officers and residents in surrounding buildings watched, they were surprised to find that the swooping 'missile' began to slow down.
Director George seemed to hear faint music. Is that punk rock?
The relatively young Director George also experienced the glory of the 1980s, so he can naturally hear it.
'That missile seems a little too short. ’
No, Director George suddenly realized that it was not a ‘missile’, but a humanoid aircraft!
The aircraft was in two tones of red and gold, and it actually dragged its wake and crashed into the lizard man standing at the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, roaring at the world.
"Oh! God!"
Amidst the exclamations, the lizard man was knocked directly off the top of the bridge and hit a bus on the bridge. Hit directly into a discus.
"Oh God. That's Astro Boy?"
"Yoooo!!!"
Accompanied by the explosive rock music.
Tony controlled the steel suit to appear, suspended in mid-air five meters above the ground.
"Perfect hit! Full marks!" In fact, Director George still got it wrong.
It was not that Tony controlled the steel suit and directly hit the lizard man, but Tony performed a thrilling stunt as his first appearance.
Tony fired an energy cannon at the lizard man at close range.
“Bang!”
The energy cannon exploded and directly blew the lizard man away. However, from a distance, the lizard man seemed to have been hit by Tony.
In fact, Tony controlled the steel suit to fly out in an arc, and finally suspended in the air.
"Jarvis, turn on the video and analyze this monster!"
Tony was very interested in letting Jarvis record the video data and analyze the origin of this big guy.
At the same time, he raised his hands and aimed at the lizard man who fell to the ground.
“Zi——!”
The arc pulse thruster in Tony's palm is fully powered and can activate the energy cannon at any time.
“Hey, big man, can you understand English?”
The lizard man was still releasing his anger at the top of the bridge.
Who would have thought that he would be blown away in the blink of an eye.
Tony's energy cannon caused considerable damage to the lizard men.
There was a bloody hole in the lizard man's abdomen and calf, and the hard skin on the outside was directly blasted.
Fortunately, lizard people have super self-healing abilities.
And it has not yet become the final complete body, the body is still mutating, or evolving.
This degree of injury does not threaten the life of the lizard man, but instead arouses its anger that has already begun to dissipate.
“Roar——!!!”
The lizard man climbed down from the bus, shook his terrifyingly huge head twice, slowly climbed up, and looked up at the Iron Man suspended above his head.
"This monster heals very quickly, which is interesting."
Tony became even more interested.
When Tony Stark takes away the titles of "playboy", "rich second generation" and "arms dealer", there is still one most dazzling thing left, and that is - "scientist"
Tony has a great interest in exploring the unknown.
"Hey, can you understand what I'm saying? I advise you not to move, otherwise your butt will explode!"
Tony warned the seemingly intelligent lizard man, and at the same time, the original streamline shape was very graceful, like a piece of The Mark III of the artwork suddenly turned into a hedgehog full of weapons!
——Shoulder rocket launchers, hidden missile launchers on the arms of the suit, anti-armor missiles, etc., all aimed at the lizard man.
If it was a lizard man whose anger was gradually easing, these weapons might still be able to scare it, but now the lizard man's anger was as ignited as the Hulk.
“Ouch!!!”
The lizard man raised his head and roared at Tony Stark in the air.
Then he accelerated his sprint and jumped up!
"Boom!!!"
When the lizard man's posture changed, Tony's prepared two-handed cannons were launched without hesitation.
Tony gave this monster a chance, but it didn't cherish it.
Two energy cannons instantly hit the lizard man's torso.
It’s over.
This idea came to Tony's mind.
He estimated that the upper body of the lizard man would be blown to pieces, but unfortunately he still wanted to study the body structure of this mutated monster.
But when the energy cannon exploded on the lizard man.
Tony was shocked to find that this guy's skin defense seemed to have become stronger!
“What!”
The imagined scene where the lizard man was directly blown to pieces by the charged energy cannon did not appear. Although the lizard man was still bloody and bloody, it was only a skin injury. That’s all.
The lizard man just staggered, still maintaining his sprinting state, and then jumped with all his might.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Tony was a little overconfident, or arrogant.
He did not expect that the lizard man would dare to disregard his own life and death and launch a reckless charge. He did not expect that the lizard man would be so tenacious, with rough skin and thick flesh, that he could withstand the close range bombardment of two energy cannons.
It is too late to recharge now, and the speed of launching missiles is not enough.
The distance of five meters is too close for the lizard people!
In full view, the lizard man's huge claws were almost touching the calf of the suspended humanoid aircraft.
But fortunately Jarvis reacted quickly enough.
The moment danger is detected.
Jarvis took over the steel suit forcefully, and the moment the lizard man charged up and took off, he fully opened the Mark III's sole thrusters!
"Oh, God!!! What a great hiding!"
The young police officer next to Director George cheered loudly, and the police's fire suppression stopped when the lizard man was knocked away. Come down.
The New York police seem to have become spectators in the auditorium.
Director George was worried for a moment just now, but fortunately the humanoid aircraft reacted quickly and found that the lizard man was not killed, and avoided the lizard man's jumping attack at the critical moment.
Affected by gravity, the lizard man's body began to fall.
One blow missed.
The lizard man roared unwillingly.
The sharp claws of its left arm rubbed against the calf of the steel suit, even scratching out sparks. Unfortunately, the flying prey escaped.
“What the hell!”
Tony’s back was soaked with cold sweat after he woke up after climbing up, and he cursed.
He is so stupid!
It's really stupid. I was so busy with the excitement and the complacency of being a savior that I forgot that I shouldn't have kept the distance so close.
Low-level error! If he raised it another ten meters, the big lizard just now would fall directly into a sea of fire caused by missile explosions.
If Tony was caught by the lizard man, it would be a minor injury, but it would be a loss of face. Although no one knew who was hiding under the suit, Tony had no intention of hiding it.
Now, Tony has to make up for his mistakes!
"Jarvis! Volley!" Tony stopped holding back!
The two-handed cannon has also been recharged.
The weapons on the Mark 3 were thrown at the lizard men on the bridge as if they were free of charge.
In an instant.
People saw countless firelights erupting from the red-gold robot with dazzling light.
The missiles trailing long smoke hit all the targets within a short distance and fell back to the lizard monster on the bridge, where it crouched down to relieve its strength.
But the lizard man is not a fool. As a new super villain, his IQ is still at a high level.
Realizing that it was impossible to dodge, the lizard man's tail instantly set off a whirlwind, whipped in front of the lizard man, and broke, detonating some rockets in advance.
At the same time, the lizard man tried his best to lower his body.
Next second!
“Boom——!!!”
After the flash of fire, there was a mushroom cloud in the sky, slowly appearing on the bridge, and visible air waves swept around.
In New York, the most prosperous area of this international metropolis, Tony Stark and the Lizardman jointly performed a drama of "Robots vs. Godzilla".
Most of the Lizard Man's body was blown to pieces, and he was blown away at the same time, falling straight from the bridge into the Manhattan River.
Until now.
The hero who saved Manhattan! appeared.
And underwater.
Due to his tenacious vitality, the lizard man did not die. Instead, his body was recovering rapidly and he gradually returned to his human form.
Dr. Connors opened his eyes and found himself in the water!
Before he could figure out what happened to him.
A black mist spread under the water, exuding a dark and evil aura, like a hunter waiting for his prey, quickly surrounding him.
Things may not be over yet.
