Chapter 119 Whiplash's Thoughts
Maggieson was walking towards the exit of the Expo. There were bat fighters patrolling in the sky, so he could only leave from the ground.
Fortunately, Ivan Vanko attracted the attention of Iron Man and Batman, so he didn't need to worry about being chased behind him.
With just a whip rope, Iron Man and Batman would probably be in a deadlock, so Maggieson didn't need to get involved.
He didn't tell Tony directly that the structure of the new element was actually the model of the Stock Expo. There were two main reasons.
First, the new element was the core condition for manufacturing the fourth-generation Ark reactor, and its energy efficiency far exceeded that of the first three generations of reactors. The qualitative change of Mark's suit also started from this time.
This itself was not a problem. After all, Tony was destined to synthesize the new element, and it didn't make much difference whether he told it earlier or later.
The real problem was that Batman was also here, and the model of the Stock Expo was not a secret.
If Maggieson said it directly, the new element would definitely be created by Batman, and it would be difficult to predict what he would do with the new element at that time.
After all, no matter how generous Tony is, he can't disclose the technology of the Ark Reactor to others.
Second, Maggieson also wants to know what Tony's reaction will be when the SHIELD's boiled egg confidently says to Tony, "We can help you."
Howard's relics have been hidden by SHIELD. Tony didn't know anything about them for so many years. Fury was willing to take them out until he was dying.
Does this mean that if Tony hadn't been poisoned by palladium, or if the SHIELD people had researched the new element first, Tony would never know that Howard left him a relic?
What does Fury want to do?
Tony's heart will definitely be deeply buried with a thorn.
This thorn is just Maggieson's small trick.
The area of the Stoke Expo is very large, and many roads have been destroyed, so it takes a lot of detours.
If it is just walking, it will take Maggieson at least 20 minutes to leave the Expo.
At the same time, outside the cordon of the Expo, all the people fled the scene one after another.
However, a little boy about ten years old broke free from his aunt's hand and ran back to the Expo.
"Peter, where do you want to go? Come back!"
He turned a deaf ear to his aunt's shouting behind him, and took advantage of his small size to slip into the cordon while the police officers outside the cordon were focusing on evacuating other people.
When his aunt wanted to chase him and stop him, she was stopped by several police officers.
"My nephew just ran in, I'm going to bring him back!"
The behavior of this little boy named Peter can no longer be described as naughty. He simply put life and death aside.
Peter is a super fan of Iron Man. He blindly believes that Iron Man will defeat all enemies, so he thinks that the Expo is not actually dangerous.
His idol is still in there. If he doesn't ask for an autograph or a photo, it will be a lifelong regret.
So Peter went back to the Expo very stubbornly.
When he slipped to the corner of the entrance, he looked back in the direction of the cordon and found that his aunt was explaining something to the police.
Soon, one of the police officers came over with a serious face.
Peter knew that he must be here to catch him back, and he looked around.
Suddenly, Peter saw a big hole in the wall not far away, just enough for him to get in.
This hole was blown up when the mechanical soldiers released fire indiscriminately before.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Peter's eyes were firm and he immediately ran there.
Maybe the police officer who was looking for him also heard his voice, and the footsteps became much more hurried than before.
"Hey, kid, come back quickly, it's dangerous inside!"
Peter continued to run forward as if he didn't hear it.
When the police saw that this naughty child was disobedient and increased his workload out of thin air, he was immediately furious.
He quickly chased after him.
Adults run much faster than children.
Soon, the police officer caught up with Peter more than ten meters behind.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
The police officer had already leaned over and stretched out his hand. He could pick up the little brat by running a few more steps.
"Come here, kid!"
After running a few steps, the police officer's hand finally reached the back of Peter's collar. He stretched his hand forward suddenly, and his palm really felt like touching something real.
However, this feeling was not like a collar.
It was cold, hard, red, swollen, and a little painful...
That's right, at the last moment, Peter successfully got into the hole in the wall and entered the official exhibition area of the Expo.
The police officer's hand slammed heavily on the wall.
"Damn, kid!"
The young police officer looked at the hole below and realized that he couldn't get in, so he had to take a detour.
However, once you enter the official exhibition area, the terrain becomes much more complicated, and it becomes much more difficult to find a child.
"The Batfighter is patrolling in the sky..."
On the other side, Ivan Vanko, wearing the second-generation Whip Armor, went around to the sky at the southern end of Flushing.
He did not choose to land directly from the sky into the Expo, which would be too stupid.
Judging from the agents who just invaded Hammer Industries, Batman and Iron Man must be ready to fight him now.
Rushing into the Expo is no different from committing suicide.
Although Ivan has absolute confidence in his Whip Armor, after listening to Tony's advice to double the speed of the reactor, the power of the Whip Armor, which uses ionized plasma as energy, has increased several times.
Once the terrifying current hits Iron Man, it may cause a short circuit in the power system inside the battle.
In addition, Ivan used all the good resources of Hammer Industries to build the armor, and he asked himself that his defense is far better than Mark's suit.
But the appearance of Batman was beyond Ivan's expectations.
The firepower of the Batfighter was very strong, and he was not sure whether the defense of the Whiplash Armor could withstand it.
However, it is well known that Batman has a fatal weakness, that is, he can't kill people.
As long as he stands in the crowd, Batman will give up using high firepower and use other strange means instead.
So, Ivan decided to go around from the back.
He left wrong information in the radar system of Hammer Industries. The information Coulson revealed to Tony was that Ivan would go straight to the Expo from Hammer Industries.
But in fact, Ivan went around to the south of the Expo.
That is, the exit of the Expo, where the crowd was evacuated.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated the time. Now the crowd has basically been evacuated, and there are only a few people at the door.
"Wait, that is..."
Just as Ivan landed on the principle of one hostage counts as one, he found a child running into the Expo...
(The pressure of three updates a day is a bit high, so I decided to temporarily alternate between three updates a day and two updates a day. What do you think?)
