[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Chapter 53 The Tower of Thorns

I am afraid that even other official organizations and the government did not expect that the oath from Mandarin would come so soon.They also expect to be able to hide from the public for a while longer.

However, this is also what Mandarin wants to achieve to cause enough panic, especially to cause enough panic for the government.What they want is chaos, so that they can fish in troubled waters, not cooperate to create a set of whitewashed peace.

The public watched the so-called live broadcast, but it was actually recorded, and the person who recorded it grasped the rhythm so well that some of the interactions seemed real.

In the screen, the hapless man who was captured and known as Mr. President's good friend was taken hostage by Mandarin to threaten the President to obtain the government's feedback on this.

After some guidance from negotiating experts, the president still chose to follow the instructions and contacted the terrorists.

When everyone's hearts couldn't help but wait with bated breath following the cooperative action, the leader on the screen put down his gun, and then, just when they were about to let go of their hearts, a gunshot sounded, and he shot back Ended the general peace of mind.

Amazement, fear, extreme panic.

Everyone was shocked.

"God," Pepper covered her mouth in horror.

Captain America didn't say anything, just frowning tightly, staring at the leader on the screen.

"What a bad negotiation." Roman did not expect that behind those bombings was such a fearless terrorist organization.

The other party gave hope of survival, and set up a trap that had to be drilled into.And they can only watch each other tighten the rope, killing hope.

This is a very bad signal, which means that Mandarin has lost patience at every step.His behavior will be more capricious, even more unpredictable than this hostage execution.At the same time, the government's compromise did not bring the desired results, which in turn exacerbated the panic among the crowd.

More importantly, since the opponent has the confidence to make such a bold operation, the psychological warfare of the layout seems to have been carefully considered to achieve the impact they want.This shows that they must have other cards in their hands.

The top floor window of the Avengers Tower opens, and Tony flies straight out in his latest suit of armor.Captain America hurried upstairs when he saw it, and Pepper followed closely.Roman hesitated for a second, but ran up as a supposedly ignorant bystander.

They see Maya staying here alone, she is explaining to them "Stark is gone, he told me to stay here."

"Who is he?" Peipo asked suspiciously.

On the side, Mr. Tony's reliable butler is explaining what happened to Captain America just now.Just now, he received a communication from Tony's good friend, Colonel Rhodes, who was asking him for help.

"Oh, it looks like the situation is not good." Roman murmured to himself.

What to do next? Bell didn't say it, and Cinderella didn't remind her.It happened so suddenly, does she have to make her own judgment?

From the looks of it, she seemed to be facing a difficult situation.Roman returned his attention to the female scientist, which was her frontal breakthrough.But how can she approach her and get the corresponding information without arousing suspicion?

Among the three, Pepper walked over to ask her first.After all, she was Tony's girlfriend, and it was the least surprising thing to do.

The female scientist honestly described in detail how Tony walked just now.She also kept comforting Pepper, "That's Iron Man. He'll be fine, you have to trust him."

What Roman and Captain America want to know most at this moment is what exactly Tony and Maya talked about just now.

"Hello, Ms. Hansen." Captain America walked over and asked at a close distance, "Excuse me, can you repeat the conversation with Stark just now?"

Roman glanced at him, and then stared at Maya Hansen.

Maya Hansen looked around and set her sights on Roman.

Roman understood her hesitation and concern.Among the people present, she seemed to be the most irrelevant third party.Of course, this is not the case, but she can't explain it yet.

What excuse is she going to find to stay? Or just get out of the way?

At this moment, Roman's cell phone rang suddenly, and it was a call from Cinderella.So, Roman raised her mobile phone, waved it to indicate that she was going to answer the phone, and took two steps outside in a logical manner.

And when she picked up the phone, it was Cinderella's warning that came from inside, "I found out that Maya Hansen is a member of Killian's team and also participated in the experiments of those super soldiers. You Be careful. In addition, according to the thermal energy feedback, the number of super soldiers may be much more than we expected."

"What is this?" Roman frowned. "By the way, you know I saw Captain America, right?"

"Of course, I am very clear. However, this time behind the scenes may not be that simple. If necessary, you can choose to expose." Cinderella gave the bottom line.

"I understand."

"Be careful that something is coming towards you!" Cinderella exclaimed as she saw something.

"Oh God, get out of the way"

Cinderella's voice stopped abruptly.

Roman put down the phone and glanced at it.The screen of the mobile phone shows that the encrypted communication just now has been disconnected.

Cinderella is looking at several surveillance cameras from other buildings.From a distance, two black dots can be seen approaching the direction of the Avengers Building, looking unfriendly.She tried to telepathically send this picture to Roman.

A scene flashed before Roman's eyes.

Roman immediately turned his head and looked out the window, "What is that?"

If she had Spider-Man's spider sense, her danger-detection instincts would be buzzing by now.

"Get down." Captain America also saw the scene outside the window and shouted immediately.

Then there was a hail of bullets, sweeping from above, breaking through the bulletproof glass of the Stark Tower, and shooting the room into chaos.

Roman's first reaction was to jump at Pepper.At that moment, she broke out with a speed that exceeded human standards, and threw herself directly on Pepper's body, and then pulled her under her body, protecting her firmly.

Captain America had no intention of paying attention to this extraordinary situation at this moment, but after reacting, he pulled Maya Hansen behind the bunker.

Fortunately, this bombing did not disrupt other systems. The smart housekeeper tenaciously pulled up a line of defense and launched a counterattack against the opponent, buying them time to breathe.

The bombing lasted for a short time and then stopped.The two helicopters steered away.The battlefield is in the air, and there is no suitable weapon at hand. Even if Captain America wants to pursue it at this moment, he is powerless.

What are these guys here for? Why did they suddenly attack the Avengers Tower?

Judging from the timing of their bombing, they seem to have deliberately waited to arrive after Iron Man had left.However, this kind of bombardment seems like a meaningless act of venting anger

The dust gradually dispersed.Roman shook off some pieces of furniture from his body and helped Pepper up.They should really be thankful that the Avengers Building is made of real materials, and the important layers on the top have been specially reinforced to withstand Hulk's tossing, so it didn't collapse after some bombing.

However, the situation at the other end is not so rosy.It didn't matter that Captain America had some scratches on his body, the focus was on Maya Hansen who was pulled aside by him.

Maya Hansen was shot twice in the body at this moment.Although she was pulled away in time by Captain America, she was seriously injured in disbelief.Her condition was so critical that a bullet hit her right in the lung.

Maya was gasping for breath, and blood foam was continuously overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

The life of this woman is not long.

If she was in the hospital at this moment, maybe some emergency measures could save her life.But now that there are no emergency personnel nearby at all, she can't wait any longer, and her young life is probably doomed to end here.

And Roman also vaguely guessed why those people suddenly launched an attack and then quickly evacuated.Their goal is to kill people.Maya was probably carrying something, and after confirming her condition, they naturally evacuated immediately.

Maya is also aware of her situation.She grabbed Pepper's hand covering her chest, and confided the key information with difficulty, "Stark went to find the Mandarin, it's Killian, it's in Pioneer Technology"

At the last moment of her life, she finally realized a new situation that could change the whole situation. Killian found a way to stabilize the self-destruct state.You must know that in order to ensure the safety of his own life, he did not dare to attack Maya when he himself was injected with the medicine.But now, he was going to get rid of her so simply, which showed that he no longer needed her.

In this case, their experiment can be said to have been successful.After this dangerous side effect is completely resolved, I am afraid that Killian and his team of super soldiers will be enough to wipe out all armies.

"God, what have I done?" Maya confessed in her heart that she helped Killian create a group of demons.

And now, Pandora's box has been opened.

She struggled to finish that crucial piece of information in succession.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she didn't want to end it like this, but the status quo was that she was powerless.

Roman watched Maya die, feeling a kind of powerlessness in his heart.She is not completely incapable of any healing, but for the kind of damage Maya has suffered, everything about her is useless.

What's more, she had a good breakthrough in front of her eyes, but now she immediately cut off the clue.This also made it very difficult for her to accept this frustration.

The words that Maya revealed at the end have already pointed out the connection.The people they are looking for are Killian and Pioneer Technology.As for the Mandarin behind this, let’s leave it to Iron Man who doesn’t know where it is.

Roman squatted down and closed his eyes for Maya.

She turned her head to look at Captain America, and said, "Captain, I have something to tell you."
