Chapter 1650: Attack on Three Fronts, and an Unexpected Incident

On the other side, the Bat Squad that was attacking on three fronts was also met with fierce resistance.

The Hydra members on the main carrier weren’t too strong, but their defenses and equipment were intact Chitauri products. They weren’t bad at all, and there were a lot of them.

Relying on the advantage in numbers and equipment, the Hydra defenders on the main carrier resisted fiercely.

In order to stop the Bat Squad from advancing, these guys didn’t even mind dying together to block the Bat Squad’s way.

The carriers in the north and south, on the other hand, were facing Luke’s two clones.

Given this cheat-like strength, the Hydra defenders’ sacrifice could only slow them down a little.

The team members pushed forward on the two carriers.

As tech support, Tony was told to watch and follow quietly, the reason being that he wasn’t familiar with the remote-controlled robot he was using.

That was indeed the case.

The robots this time were all original models.

They were nimble and weren’t equipped with heavy artillery. They were more suitable for fighters with keen reactions and precise movements.

The tycoon’s regular crushing combo of force, firepower and armor wouldn’t work at all.

Of course, Luke could take out equipment at any time, but that was the bigshot’s signature skill. It was best not to let the tycoon connect the dots.

In any case, the tycoon had to be free at any time to switch between dealing with the three Helicarriers.

It didn’t matter if he participated in the battle or not.

Even so, it was chaos inside all the Helicarriers. Sparkles flew and explosions rang out nonstop, like in an apocalyptic film.

In the control room of the main carrier, the commander said tensely, “Hang in there. Hang in there. Don’t let them in.”

In order to achieve Project Insight’s most basic target, they had to at least get off one attack.

It would also be the strongest attack, apart from the main carrier self-destructing.

But this attack couldn’t be fired off casually. It would take more than ten minutes to search for and lock onto the targets, before all sorts of weapons were unlocked.

This wasn’t a game. The targets wouldn’t wait for them to attack.

The main carrier’s mainframe was frantically calculating and eliminating ineligible targets.

The carriers couldn’t attack in batches.

As long as the carriers didn’t mobilize, the American government wouldn’t be clear on the situation and would hesitate.

The government would definitely be reluctant to destroy the carriers, which were each worth tens of billions of dollars.

But as long as the carriers attacked and caused major casualties, the government would immediately tear them apart, no matter how reluctant it felt

At this distance from the ground, the protective shield had yet to be fully charged and couldn’t be activated.

The carriers would be instantly destroyed by hundreds of missiles.

Now, both sides were fighting for time.

Unfortunately, Hydra never expected that the person they would encounter this time wasn’t an ordinary superhero.

Even though they did their utmost to obstruct the other party with the help of the carrier layout and equipment, the Level 2 clone quickly charged toward the main control room.

Tony’s remote device had already disrupted the other party’s lines. With the help of the cheat-like strength of Luke’s clones, Tony found several wires and ran the most effective sort of disruption – a literal interference.

With one slash, all worries disappeared.

In any case, the wires could be reattached later.

Only then did Tony begin to unlock the program on the door.

This mainly involved a physical dismantling – cracking the program was the secondary measure. It wasn’t in line with the tycoon’s aesthetic taste.

But he wasn’t in the mood to complain. After taking care of this carrier, there were two more still waiting.

At this speed, they might not be able to take care of all three carriers in time.

But as long as they could take care of two of them, they would have the power to blow up the third carrier.

Even if Hydra put up a final struggle and launched the first wave of attacks, they wouldn’t get a chance to launch a second round.

The moment the door of the control room opened, the clone turned around and left. “The kids at the base are in trouble. I have to go back and deal with it.”

Tony simply hummed and stood outside the main control room.

Two figures had already charged into the main control room, and there was a lot of screaming, as if it was a horror movie.

Less than five seconds later, the robots which Angel and Alice were operating carried some broken bodies out into the hallway.

Only then did Tony have the robot he was controlling enter. “Guard the door and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

The two female killers simply did as he said. Not only were they silent, they didn’t even nod.

Tony curled his lip and secretly criticized a certain bat for being so lousy at finding women but so good at finding assassins. Wasn’t he afraid of being turned into meat pies or sausages in the middle of the night?

At that moment, the carrier in the south which the Level 1 clone was responsible for had only slowed down a little, but was on the verge of falling into their hands.

The Level 2 clone quickly returned to SHIELD’s underground launch facility.

SHIELD’s main Helicarrier should’ve been the least difficult to take over.

After all, the moment Hydra mobilized, the Ninja Squad, Damon and Mindy had attacked.

Frank had arranged for the two older men to lead a team of seven people, which was a solid plan.

In the end, they ran into the most troublesome opponents.

Without Luke on hand, and lacking heavy firepower to attack, it was very difficult for the seven of them to advance with just thousands of bullets and a small number of explosives.

Looking at the two metal figures who were directing Hydra to resist, Luke was a little surprised. “There are actually two more Death Soldiers. Why didn’t they go save Pierce as well earlier?”

If they had gone, they would be dead by now. Dead people couldn’t cause any new problems.

These Death Soldiers looked like they had more metal on their bodies.

Only 40% of the bodies of the two who had gone to rescue Pierce had been covered.

These two, on the other hand, were close to 80% covered in metal, and were equipped with defense and firepower components.

They could be considered monkey versions of Mark 1, but their outer appearances were more like mini versions of Obadiah’s tyrannical Iron Monger.

But Iron Monger had also been a marvel that had been able to beat up Tony’s Mark 1.

These two mini versions were also interesting. They had high offense and defense capabilities, and weren’t too afraid of the Bat Squad’s “kids.”

Their only weakness was that they were slightly slower.

But in the confines of the Helicarrier, this wasn’t a big problem.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Splinter and Damon were constantly mounting sneak attacks, the group of teenagers would probably have switched to their third robots already.

If this went on, the dozens of original models that Luke had placed here would all be scrapped.

It wasn’t a waste, but it was quite troublesome to recover the broken robots. He didn’t want to waste too much time.

The Level 2 clone arrived, but instead of meeting up with the kids, it took a different route.

On the other side, the two heavily armored Death Soldiers didn’t stop fighting the kids, but at the same time, they were overwhelmed.

They weren’t under much pressure when it came to dealing with just the kids.

But the two wily old men who were determined to ambush them were very annoying.

One of the Death Soldiers had almost been tricked by Splinter and Damon.
