Chapter 404 Catching a "Snake" in the Sewers
The sewers were deathly silent.
Sitwell stared at the now-blacked-out phone screen, holding his breath for a full ten seconds.
His brain was racing, analyzing everything he had just witnessed:
First, this metal monster possesses weapon systems and mobility far exceeding modern technology.
Secondly, during operations, it will proactively reduce collateral damage—for example, by catching vehicles that are blown away by the explosion to prevent secondary accidents.
Third, it knows it's being watched, and there's even a strong possibility that the phone automatically connected to the video call—it's all its doing! It's deliberately letting Sitwell know it's there, that it's hunting him, thus plunging him into panic!
Finally, and most terrifyingly, the conclusion...
This monster wasn't blindly chasing after anyone.
It knew that the Hydra agent was just bait!
The most direct evidence is that provocative gesture!
This brought Sitwell back to his senses, and he didn't dare to waste a moment. He hurriedly ran desperately into the deepest part of the network of sewers.
Unfortunately, all of Sitwell's efforts were destined to be in vain in the face of the Iron Monger, who possessed the ability to fly.
Before Sitwell had run very far, he could vaguely hear the same deep engine hum as in the video from directly above his head.
Clearly, the metal monster has found him.
At that moment, Sitwell made a decision: he could no longer stay in the sewers!
If it were any other opponent hiding in the sewers, they might indeed be helpless against him...
The fact that this metal monster found him so quickly is enough to show that it has a way to locate Sitwell's position in real time!
Facing an enemy who has X-ray vision and doesn't even bother to act, continuing to deceive yourself and hide in the sewers is no different from slow suicide!
Then, a sudden realization dawned on Sitwell, and based on the images he had previously witnessed, he suddenly understood…
He needs a complex environment.
People who need it.
We need an environment that forces this "morally superior" monster to restrain itself!
Thinking of this, he quickly rummaged through his backpack for his phone, opened a map navigation app, and swiped his finger across the intricate lines until it finally stopped on a marker.
Times Square.
We are only 600 meters away from our current location.
And this time of day coincides with the rush hour, which is the peak time for pedestrian traffic!
perfect!
After setting his goal, Sitwell put his phone away and started running.
With his current physical strength, he can reach the 600-meter mark in about three minutes!
His plan was simple...
They fled to Times Square, blended into the crowd, and used civilians as shields to buy time.
At the same time, he needs to find a way to contact Tony Stark.
It wasn't a plea for help, but a frame-up.
He wanted Tony to believe that the monster was out of control, so that Tony would be forced to come and "deal with" it himself for the sake of his reputation.
When Tony is fighting this monster, that's the best time for him to escape!
It's worth mentioning that while Sitwell had no evidence to prove that this terrifying monster was definitely related to Tony Stark...
However, putting that aside, in Sitwell's opinion, apart from Tony Stark, a universally acknowledged genius, no one could develop such a powerful weapon in such a short time...
The only unethical thing Sitwell has done recently was to follow Alexander Pierce's orders and, while Tony was busy holding a global press conference, take away his trusted lieutenants Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, and Obadiah. Taking advantage of the relaxed security inside Stark Tower, he infiltrated under the guise of the International Security Council, attempting to replicate Jarvis's source code. His goal was to create a powerful force comparable to "Black Spider-Man," thus completing the final piece of the "Insight Project" puzzle.
In the end, not only was the USB drive containing part of Dr. Zola's data and consciousness, which Alexander Pierce had placed high hopes on, destroyed by a suddenly emerging new AI.
Even the subordinates he had specially arranged to act as bait and distract him, were caught red-handed shortly after they split up!
You're saying that the Metal Monster's current pursuit of Sitwell has nothing to do with Tony Stark?
Nashville preferred to believe that the Black Spider-Man, whose growth rate was frighteningly fast and who could already be called a "god among men," was actually a minor child hiding under that jet-black suit!
