Chapter 262 Chapter 440 Chapter 441 Rescue failed?

"A year ago, a Roxon Oil tanker had a major accident in Pensacola, northwest Florida, spilling nearly 1 million gallons of crude oil."

"This crude oil has had a devastating impact on the natural ecosystem of that sea area...Tens of thousands of marine organisms have suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen, and large numbers of seagulls and other seabirds have lost their ability to insulate themselves and fly due to oil contamination of their feathers, ultimately starving to death!"

"But guess what, President Ellis, who seems to be a man of integrity and good reputation, did in this incident?"

"Forget it, let me tell you straight... He used his presidential prerogatives to force judicial intervention in this case, ultimately preventing anyone at Roxxon Oil from receiving the punishment they deserved for the oil spill!"

"How's that? Ironic enough?"

"[America], which preaches to the world all day long that 'environmentalism' and 'animal protection laws' are supreme, is actually the one truly ignoring the environment and animal life?!"

"But it is precisely because he has committed so many crimes that he is being judged by me today... I have said before that I will treat you in the same way that you Americans have done to others..."

"So, in the next 15 minutes, I will burn President Matthew Ellis alive in oil right in front of you, so that he can also taste the pain suffered by the animals that died in the oil spill. I will also publicly display the entire execution process to the entire United States."

"Finally, I want to offer a piece of advice to those who are trying to rescue him from me... Whether you're from the American military, that lackey who always likes to fly around in a suit of iron, or that self-righteous S.H.I.E.L.D., none of you can save his life, so don't waste your energy!!"

A short declaration plunged the entire East Coast into endless panic.

The people were shocked and angry, because in the entire history of the United States, there has never been a precedent of a president being kidnapped by KB elements!
The most important thing is that this is still on American soil?
Can you believe this?

So the netizens who came to their senses began to criticize the stupidity of the White House top brass and the incompetence of the Secret Service and S.H.I.E.L.D. on the Internet.

Who made these idiots unable to even protect their own president?

Nick Fury, who was numbed by the spray, also started cursing when he saw this. "Fuck, is this damn Middle Eastern guy crazy? He actually wants to publicly execute the President of the United States?!"

"And why are there so many idiots online? What does the president's kidnapping have to do with us [S.H.I.E.L.D.]? We're not responsible for the president's daily security!"

"Sir, I'm afraid all the netizens have been led astray by that Mandarin," Maria Hill warned cautiously.

"However, this crisis may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us [S.H.I.E.L.D.]... If we can successfully rescue President Ellis before other organizations, he will surely become our strongest supporter in the future."

But when it comes to this, Maria Hill's face can't help showing a hint of conflict.

"But right now, we still can't pinpoint the exact location of those KB members... and whether Mr. Stark and the Human Torch alone can defeat those KB members who can transform into Salamanders is still unknown!"

Nick Fury fell silent upon hearing this.

Maria Hill's analysis was absolutely correct. Whether S.H.I.E.L.D. can seize this opportunity... or in other words, the key to this rescue actually depends on whether Tony Stark and the Human Torch can find President Ellis's location in time, and whether they can ultimately rescue him intact.

There was no way around it, because the speed of the [Sky Carrier] was simply "too slow". By the time they arrived in [New York], President Ellis's grave would probably be covered in grass.

But what makes Nick Fury most envious and depressed is that he is not like Carl, who knows the wizards of Kamar-Taj and can open a portal for remote transmission anytime and anywhere!
After a long silence, Nick Fury murmured, as if to comfort everyone, or perhaps to comfort himself, "I believe Tony and the other two will be able to succeed...right?"

At this time, in a dark corner not far from the abandoned tanker where President Matthew Ellis was about to be executed, Tony Stark and the Human Torch, wearing the [Mark 43 Orc Hunter Armor], were quietly approaching the tanker under the cover of the containers piled up around them.

"Wow, Mr. Stark, how did you know those KB members were here?"

Thunderbolt asked curiously, "Could it be that you are the real mastermind behind the Ten Rings Gang?"

Tony Stark stopped and turned to look through his visor at the guy following behind him. He had a face that looked almost identical to Captain America, but he could easily make people feel disgusted with him with just a few words. He warned him coldly:

"Could you please shut up for a moment? Just for a moment... We need to sneak in quietly and rescue President Ellis while those KB members are off guard."

However, just as Tony Stark finished his words, a searchlight suddenly lit up and shone on the place where the two of them were hiding.

Immediately afterwards, Eric Savin appeared in front of the two men with more than ten desperate warriors.

Without any nonsense, Eric Savin waved his hand in the direction of Tony Stark and the other man, "Kill them!!"

More than a dozen desperate warriors transformed into fire lizard warriors and spewed out tongues of scorching fire at the two people opposite them.

The Human Torch immediately transformed into a pyro, absorbing all the flames that were shot towards him. He looked at Tony Stark with a strange expression, "Is this what you call sneaking in?"

Tony Stark didn't bother to pay attention to this chatterbox. While controlling his suit to dodge the enemy's fire attack, he muttered in dissatisfaction:

"[Jarvis], haven't you checked the entire dock and found no thermal imagers or military night vision goggles? Then how did these guys find us?"

Jarvis' voice then rang out, "Sir, I've just detected that these KB members seem to have been enhanced by the Lizard Cross-Species Gene Serum, allowing them to see normally in the dark. Therefore, it's likely that you were discovered by the KB members standing guard on the quay crane."

"Is this okay?"

Tony Stark curled his lips and said to the Human Torch below who was constantly absorbing the flames released by the enemy:
"You stay here and deal with these tough guys. I'll take advantage of the chaos to rescue President Ellis!"

After saying that, he soared into the sky and flew towards where President Matthew Ellis was.

However, Eric Savin and other Salamander warriors saw this and had no intention of stopping him. They just watched him leave.

The reason is simple: their boss, Aldredge Killian, wants to personally deal with Tony Stark to avenge his previous humiliation!!

“Are they difficult?”

A fearless and nagging grin appeared on Pilifeng's face. He turned to the fire lizard warriors who were spitting fire at him and said:

"I can give you a chance to live now. Undo your transformation immediately and tie yourself up obediently. Then I can let you go... Otherwise, you will fall in a pool of blood soon."

"Oh, really? I'm so scared!" Eric Savin, his whole body flashing with red light, rushed directly towards the Human Torch, and his sharp claws slashed down like a heated electric knife.

Seeing this, Thunderbolt was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. With fire spurting from his feet, he leaped into the air and barely avoided the opponent's attack. Although he was immune to the fire and heat released by the fire lizard warrior, it did not mean that he could ignore the opponent's sharp claws.

If he had been hit by that blow just now, his head would probably have been cut in half on the spot.

"You guys are really infuriating!"

The Human Torch waved his hands and released a stream of fire towards Eric Savin below, which instantly engulfed Houdu whole.

However, before Thunderbolt could show off, he found that the other party had walked out of the flames unharmed.

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a???

WTF? ? ?

"This...is this okay?"

Human Torch was suddenly confused as he looked at the flames on his body, then looked at Eric Savin below, as if he couldn't understand why the previous attack failed to burn the other party to death?
Is it because the temperature is not high enough?
This is the fact.

Although under normal circumstances, the highest temperature that can be caused by the [Desperate Virus] is only about 3,000 degrees Celsius.

The upper limit of Thunderbolt is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius, which is close to the level of the Big Bang.

But the problem is that it has only been more than two months since Thunderbolt gained his abilities.

During this period, instead of focusing all his energy on developing his newly acquired super powers like his sister [Invisible Woman] Susan Stone, he wasted a lot of time on picking up girls and showing off.

So to this day, the highest temperature he can release is only about one or two thousand degrees Celsius.

This temperature might be enough to deal with ordinary desperate warriors, but it would be a bit difficult to deal with more powerful fire lizard warriors.

Not to mention the higher-level "elite monsters" like Eric Savin!!
"Mr. Stark, excuse me, can we switch jobs?"

Just when the Human Torch was about to abandon Eric Savin and the other Salamanders and run away... no, it should be said that he was heading to the tanker to rescue the president with Tony Stark.

The flames that originally covered his entire body suddenly seemed to be running out of energy. After "puffing" a few times, they disappeared.

"Damn, I can't be so unlucky... My energy ran out at this time, right?"

A helpless smile appeared on Thunderbolt's face, and then his body fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.

Under ideal conditions, he could currently maintain the flames in his body for about 2 to 3 hours before exhausting all his energy.

However, his previous series of battles in the secret base of the Ten Rings, as well as his supersonic flight with Tony Stark from Miami to New York, had consumed a lot of energy, so that the energy in his body was now exhausted.

Facing the Salamander Warriors gathering around him, Thunderbolt changed his arrogant attitude, raised his hands high, knelt on the ground, and said with a smile on his face:

"Um... I'm sorry, I admit I was too loud just now!!"

at the same time.

Tony Stark has successfully reached the top of the tanker in the [Mark 43 Orc Hunter Armor], but he did not rush to rescue President Matthew Ellis.

Because at this moment, the bridge where President Matthew Ellis was suspended was already filled with a large number of Salamander warriors whose bodies were constantly flashing red flames.

They seemed to have known that someone would come to rescue the president, and they stood there, staring at Tony Stark in mid-air.

"[Jarvis], scan this area for heat signatures of all desperate creatures!"

Jarvis' voice then rang out, "Sir, a scan has revealed 86 heat signatures from desperate creatures in this area. Should we initiate a devastating attack on them?"

"So many?"

Tony Stark calmly examined the holographic electronic map in front of him, which showed a large area of ​​red heat-source dots that symbolized the Salamander Warriors.

The current situation is not optimistic for him...it can even be said to be quite dangerous.

Because the Salamander Warriors were standing very close to President Matthew Ellis, he didn't dare to use long-range weapons to attack.

If the president was killed by a stray bullet fired by him during the battle, wouldn't he be trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing a handful of rice... No, wouldn't he be a criminal who was directly condemned by everyone?

By then, I'm afraid the entire Stark Industries will be implicated and will quickly decline!
Therefore, Tony Stark would not choose such dangerous actions that would harm his own interests.

Moreover, with the power of these Salamander Warriors' self-destruction, if they couldn't kill the President in the head with one blow, the power of their self-destruction would be enough to kill him instantly...

The safest way at the moment seems to be to lure these fire lizard warriors away from the "execution platform" first, and then carry out a rescue operation.

But it was obvious that he couldn't complete the entire plan by himself.

But fortunately, they came together this time.

"Human Torch, come to my side quickly. I'll be responsible for leading these Salamander warriors away, and you come to rescue the General..."

However, before Tony Stark could finish his words, the half-dead voice of the Human Torch came from the communicator, "Mr. Stark, come and save me, my energy is exhausted..."
