The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 785 The plan begins

"Don't be surprised. It's inevitable that I'll pick you two."

Reid extended his arm and patted both men on the shoulder, explaining.

"Talon, you can perform space jumps by traveling through dark space. With you here, we can not only sneak in quietly, but also lead everyone to escape if the mission fails."

Reed said and looked at the Omega boy beside him.

"And you, Quentin, your psychic ability allows you to sense the location of living things. Howard is the only living person in the entire Stark Tower right now. You can sense his location at any time so that we can know when is the best time to place the bomb."

"It sounds like you want to blow that billionaire to the sky." Quentin slapped Reed's hand away from him.

"There's no other way. I don't know what Howard is going through right now, and I don't know if I can free him from control, so killing him directly is the best way."

Reid sighed, then continued.

"And this is one of the reasons why I assigned you to the stealth team. The human brain is very mysterious. Even I can't fully understand its mysteries."

"You mean let me try to rescue him?" Quentin frowned.

"My best guess is you shouldn't do this," Reed said with a wry smile. "The mind and spirit are areas I haven't explored yet. I don't know if this kind of mind control will spread like an epidemic."

"But there are already eight cases of madness in the world. I don't dare to take the risk, so I advise you not to delve into Howard's heart. To be honest, I hesitated again and again when I was finalizing the selection."

"But you chose me in the end." Quentin looked puzzled. "Why?"

"Because I believe you." Reed said firmly.

"Quentin, I believe in your abilities, so I won't doubt you. I hesitated because I was worried about your safety. I'm not very experienced in that field, so I can't guarantee anything."

"I will prove you right." Quentin raised his face, and his proud look showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was two hours later. After Reed prepared everything, the team started to act.

Under the cover of Tyrone and Susan, the stealth team began to move steadily towards Stark Tower. Because of Howard, Reed did not dare to let them use the communicator to communicate with everyone, so the communication between them depended entirely on Quentin's psychic ability.

This is also one of the reasons why Reed chose him. Since the bait team is to act as bait, their actions must be more conspicuous, so all kinds of technological equipment that can easily be noticed by Howard must be as conspicuous as possible.

But the stealth team is not able to do that, so Quentin serves as the radar, communicator, etc. in the team.

Under Reed's distribution, Dagger Tandy and he were in one team, Stoneman Ben and Thunderbolt were in one team, and Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng were in one team.

This team division was also considered. There is no need to say much about Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng. The two were teammates who worked together seamlessly, and splitting them up would be asking for trouble.

Ben and Johnny get along very well. With Ben as his teammate, Johnny can use some highly destructive skills without restraint. The two of them are also the main force of bait.

Tandy and him, besides being the only ones left, also had a good synergy. After all, their abilities, though seemingly simple, could be expanded upon in a variety of ways. Under Reed's arrangement, even though their positions appeared far away, support could arrive within ten to twenty minutes. Furthermore, Reed had placed Johnny, the fastest of the group, at the center.

If someone really can't hold on any longer, they can contact Johnny and ask him to fly over to provide support.

Reed took a short time to make the best arrangements he could at the moment. He had done everything he could, and now he could only leave it to fate.

Reed glanced at Tandy who was in his seat, and after the latter nodded to him, he pressed the installed equipment.

This is a simple signal transmitter. Simply put, it is used to send distress signals, which can definitely attract the attention of the patrolling sentry robots around.

As expected, as soon as the machine was started, a loud roar of thrusters was immediately heard in the distance. Reed barely reached the level of the telescope by changing his eyes.

This way he could see the sentinel robots flying in the distance. He counted about four or five of them. Maybe they thought they were just ordinary civilians so they only sent these few.

"Get ready, Tandy." Reid retracted his gaze. "We're going to have a tough battle ahead."

...

On the other hand, Reed's bait team has started to move, and the stealth team led by Susan will naturally follow suit.

They first let Tyrone lead the two of them through the dark space and traveled a distance until Tyrone could no longer control the few people and then changed to walking.

Tyrone's ability comes from that dark space, but Tyrone can only use the power in it to a limited extent. He is not the controller of this space.

For example, if you are carrying someone through space, if the things they are carrying exceed their strength limit, they will not be able to carry them. Staying in a dark space for too long will also cause the death of the person being carried.

Even if Tyrone himself used that power excessively, his life would be in danger.

Even so, Tyrone shortened the distance for them. Then, just as they had planned from the beginning, they used Susan's ability and the protective force field formed by Reed's machine to walk step by step to the downstairs of Stark Tower in stealth.

Along the way, the three encountered many sentinel robots. Just as Reed said, there were many styles of them, but none of them could detect the three people.

The journey was uneventful and extremely smooth.

The Stark Tower now looks like a copper-cast iron tower. From the outside, it is tightly closed and there is not even an entrance. Susan guessed that the only entrance to this tower is the sentry robot launch port at the waist of the building.

But this did not pose a problem for the three of them. Tyrone used his ability again, and the three of them successfully passed through the dark space and entered the building.

Although he had used this ability for a long time before, just passing through a wall would not be a burden for Talon.

The exterior of the building is seamless, but there is still space for people to walk inside, because this building was originally renovated based on an office building, so there must be many passages.

However, because they did not have an internal map, the three of them did not dare to act rashly. Fortunately, Ji Shuangshuang brought an internal map of Stark Tower, so they could move forward according to this map.
