Chapter 271 [Two Chapters Combined] The Unlucky Invaders
Chapter 271 [Two Chapters Combined] The Unlucky Invaders
The group quickly decided that Tony, Hulk, and Peter would be responsible for confronting the enemy. Meanwhile, Dr. Otto, along with Dr. Koppler and Pepper Potts, who had come to the underground experiment at Tony's deliberate notification, would hide there safely.
The uninvited armed men had also arrived in large numbers near the villa.
Of course, Tony's villa was built on a cliff overlooking the sea, surrounded by the ocean on three sides. It could be said that apart from the road leading directly to it, there was absolutely no way out.
Therefore, after the group of armed men surrounded the front of the villa, relying on their numerical advantage, they did not rush to break in.
Instead, they each pulled out RPG rocket launchers, intending to launch a barrage of firepower to probe the interior of the villa.
"Hulk, smash it—!!!"
Just as the militants were about to pull the trigger and give Tony's meticulously crafted villa a free "complete renovation and alteration," a deep, excited voice suddenly echoed from directly above the area.
When the militants, driven by instinctive curiosity, all looked up at the scene in unison and glanced at it subconsciously.
To their astonishment, they discovered that, without them noticing, a huge, green creature was heading straight for the most densely populated area, as if a god had descended from heaven!
It was Hulk who rushed out of the villa the moment he learned of the militant invasion, ready to stretch his muscles to his heart's content!
The moment it landed, it not only caused a noticeable dent in the expensively maintained lawn, but the violent tremor also caused the unsuspecting militants to stagger and fall to the ground!
That wasn't the end of it. During the fall, many militants instinctively pulled the trigger, trying to drive away the monster in front of them.
So much so that with his footing unsteady and the bullet trajectory severely off course, hitting the Hulk falling from the sky was out of the question...
Many of the rocket launchers that were fired hit their teammates directly!
A series of explosions quickly ignited the lawn, accompanied by the instinctive cries of pain from the armed intruders.
The Hulk, rising from the flames with an even greater sense of oppression, was nothing short of a demon god descending to earth in the eyes of these armed invaders! He was terrifying beyond words!
Therefore, before Hulk could even make a move and further demonstrate his overwhelming strength, a significant portion of the armed invaders had already lost all will to fight, terrified by him. They abandoned their weapons and scrambled away, their brows furrowed as they mentally cursed the Skrull radical leader who had given the order to fight!
No, are you kidding me!
When the order was given, wasn't it agreed that the mission was only to capture Spider-Man?
Why did the Hulk suddenly appear in Tony Stark's mansion?!
Chief, are you kidding me?!
Of course, they were dumbfounded, and Hulk was even more dumbfounded.
They had barely stood up, and before they could even fight, a large number of the invaders in front of them had already died or been wounded.
The remaining intruders either ran away in terror or trembled like mice before a cat, not daring to breathe.
This left Hulk, who had thought he was about to face a formidable enemy and enjoy himself, completely dumbfounded.
Hmm, something's not right...
The script shouldn't be like this...
Shouldn't they be like the soldiers General Ross brought, rushing towards me desperately to tickle me as soon as they saw me?
And I didn't even have time to do anything, how come so many people died!
Could it be that Banner ate too well at the Tin Man's house lately, causing me to gain weight? So, a single big jump and landing killed them all?
"Damn it... Die! Monster—!!!"
Of course, with so many invaders, not all of them would be cowards. There was always a group of people who were hot-blooded and fearless.
Taking advantage of Hulk's distraction and inability to immediately take further action, the survivors closest to Hulk, ignoring the burning pain in their bodies, lay down on the ground and roughly aimed their rocket launchers at Hulk.
"Uh-huh, sorry sir, ambushing my friend is not right~"
Unfortunately, even with their determination to die, they tried to achieve a one-for-one trade with the Hulk.
But putting aside the question of whether this type of individual weapon, which might not even be able to penetrate the armor of a heavily armored tank, could actually cause substantial damage to the Hulk...
Before they could pull the trigger, Peter, crouching on Hulk's back, sensed their attack intent with his keen spider-sense.
Then, straightening his legs, he jumped from Hulk's back into the air, firing several webs in succession, which accurately stuck to the RPG rocket launcher, and then dragged them all into his hands.
As Peter gracefully landed back on the lawn, he glanced at the "Stark Industries" inscription on the weapons and asked thoughtfully.
"Hey, let me guess, what's all this fuss about... Could it be that after Tony shut down the weapons department, you think he's the one who caused you to lose your jobs, so you've come here specifically to cause him trouble?"
After Peter finished speaking, a significant portion of the invaders, who had been gritting their teeth and eager to explode at Peter and his group, noticeably paused in their actions.
Clearly, just as Peter had guessed.
Despite the radical leader's determination to make Riley pay, he chose to launch a full-scale attack on Peter's head.
Ultimately, in the current timeline, the number of Skrull radicals is far too small. Even if they all went together, they probably wouldn't be enough to warm up Peter alone.
And so, the radical leader of the Skrulls finally revealed his last trump card, which he had kept hidden all along.
He cleverly used the other party's power to gather together all those who had suddenly lost their jobs and were at a low point in their lives because Tony had shut down the weapons department.
It's important to know that Tony is not only a playboy, but also a complete capitalist.
Before Tony experienced the kidnapping incident and his personality changed, he barely even gave Pepper a second glance, let alone these low-level employees! They were treated like beasts of burden!
What's even more problematic is that Tony himself is a genius with exceptional intelligence! He can come up with new ideas almost every moment! And he naturally believes that even if others are not as smart as him, by sheer numbers, he can eventually turn all his ideas into reality within the allotted time!
Then Tony just uttered a few words, and it became the face of all these beasts of burden...
Either you have to work overtime and be busy all day long in the factory.
Either you spend a lot of time and effort on a project that's almost finished, only to have Tony discard it like trash! All your hard work goes down the drain! It's incredibly unfortunate!
Of course, it was originally Stark Industries' most profitable department.
Although Tony was a bit ruthless, Pepper Potts, as a supportive wife, provided excellent benefits for her employees, which kept them from harboring resentment and allowed them to continue working hard for Tony.
But with Tony's return, these working-class people thought they would once again be working under Tony's thumb, experiencing a painful yet joyful daily routine.
But to their surprise, Tony's first words were to shut down the weapons department! He directly destroyed their secure livelihood!
To protect Stark Industries' core secrets, they also had to include a confidentiality agreement with their resignation agreement! This stipulated that they could not work for other companies in the same industry for a certain period of time!
For these working people, especially those who have worked hard for most of their lives and have no other skills besides manufacturing weapons, and who are just looking forward to retirement and enjoying life, this is like the sky falling down!
As a result, the resentment that had been building up in this group, who were already dissatisfied with Tony and were now facing unemployment, was enough to make even the Evil Sword Immortal tremble with fear!
That's exactly what the radical leader of the Skrulls saw!
After gathering them together, he not only took the opportunity to send his own subordinates to use their disguise skills to quietly replace the older employees in the group who had a certain prestige and could convince and follow others.
This radical leader, after replicating Nick Fury's memories, fully utilized Nick Fury's persuasive oratory skills, posing as someone who spoke up for them and fought for justice, and delivered a passionate speech in front of everyone.
Just like Seele's theory of 500,000 marks for bread.
The radical leader blamed Tony for all the troubles these people were facing, portraying him as a cold-blooded, heartless vampire who should be hanged from a lamppost!
His inflammatory and highly inflammatory speech further enraged and angered those who already harbored resentment towards Tony!
Then, with the Skrull radical leader raising his arms and shouting slogans like "Down with Tony Stark, let's build a better future!" they quickly reached a consensus on their goals!
Thus, the radical leader of the Skrulls, through this series of meticulously planned methods, successfully assembled a suicide squad that he had completely misled.
This is why, even though the radical members of the Skrulls were terrified and fled in panic after the Hulk, they still dared to fight back.
After all, they were completely fooled, and they still believe it to this day...
Only by killing Tony and putting Obadiah in power can Tony's decisions be reversed.
Only then can they return to their high-paying jobs and regain a wonderful and happy life!
in other words……
If they were offered enough money, these seemingly irreconcilable fugitives would definitely lay down their weapons and surrender immediately!
And money is exactly what Tony has in abundance!
So, having astutely grasped the reason for the riot, Peter, who adhered to the principle of not killing, continued to persuade them, hoping to avoid taking action if possible.
"If this is the reason for your conflict... why not put down your weapons, sit down face-to-face, and have a proper talk? I believe Tony can definitely give you a satisfactory answer. There's no need to escalate to this point, is there?"
"Think about it, if you really kill Tony, the police will definitely not let you off the hook, and even your families will be implicated. Wouldn't that go against your original intention?"
"If you're worried about Tony retaliating if you lay down your weapons, then I can assure you in the name of 'Spider-Man' that even if we don't reach an agreement, as long as you're willing to give up the means of armed confrontation from now on, I can persuade Tony not to pursue your crime of trespassing on a private residence and let you leave."
As the intruders were soothed with gentle words, their expressions softened considerably, even though they had initially been furious.
As they exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts sank further. Spider-Man, since his debut, had consistently upheld justice and fought for the underdog, building a reputation that was undeniably positive. This clearly shook their initial belief that only force could achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, the Skrull radical leader, hiding in the shadows, could not possibly stand by and watch these free cannon fodder slip out of his control.
With a sinister glint in his eyes, he quietly activated a button.
The body of the thug closest to Peter began to rise uncontrollably and rapidly!
Peter had no time to think. He quickly used the artificial intelligence built into his suit to adjust the formula of the spider silk and launched special spider silk equipped with ultra-low temperature technology, which was enough to freeze upon contact with water, to completely wrap the person in front of him.
Even so, Peter's spider sense continued to sound alarms!
Not only were the layers of spider silk wrapped around the thug's body melting as the temperature continued to rise!
Even more alarming, several of the rioter's other companions also exhibited the exact same abnormally high temperature symptoms as the rioter!
"Please, Spider-Man! Help me! I don't want to die! I have a wife and children waiting for me to get back! I really don't want to die here...!"
"Help me, Spider-Man!"
"It hurts so much, it's so painful...!"
At this point, even the most foolish thugs would realize they'd been tricked.
The guys who tricked them into coming to deal with Tony had already considered them as last ammunition from the very beginning and never intended for them to leave alive!
As their consciousness gradually faded, their strong will to survive made them stare intently at Peter in front of them.
While pleading for help in a humble tone, she regarded Peter as her last lifeline and instinctively moved closer to him like a walking corpse.
This made Peter, who was already feeling reluctant, feel the pressure on his shoulders increase even more.
Under the watchful eyes of his spider-sense and risking being killed by these human bombs, he desperately fired freezing spider silk. In this way, he could cool the bodies of these thugs, alleviate their pain, and delay their deaths as much as possible!
