The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 786 The Bomb Has Been Planted

Although Stark Tower has changed a lot at this time, it is not a new building built out of thin air. It is impossible to make major changes to the internal frame in such a short time.

Therefore, the routes marked on this map are still useful, but the various areas marked on it are no longer useful at this time. After all, this place has become an arsenal.

The three of them moved forward along the wall under the protection of Susan's ability. After entering the building, they did not encounter any more sentry robots, probably because of the dense cameras.

There is almost one camera every ten steps, with no blind spots at all. The last time Susan saw such dense distribution of cameras was in a bank.

Fortunately, Reed's little invention allowed them to ignore these cameras, otherwise they might be discovered as soon as they entered the building. Susan didn't think that these cameras were just simple cameras. They were definitely not as ordinary as they looked.

According to Reed's plan, they need to place the manufactured bomb at the location of the Sentinel Robot Factory. There are definitely a lot of explosives there, and combined with the explosives he made, they can easily blow up the entire building.

By then, even if Howard is not blown up, his ability to create soldiers can be destroyed, and without the robot army, he will no longer be a threat.

Because unlike the other Sky Hammer Lords, Howard is essentially an ordinary person wearing a battle suit. If you give him an EMP sign, he will behave himself.

According to what they saw outside the building, the sentry robots were launched from the center of the building, so the location of the factory was probably not too far from this range.

So their main task now was to go up. Thanks to Tyrone's ability, they didn't have to climb stairs and quickly reached the center.

Susan thought she would have to look for a while to find the arsenal, but when she got upstairs, she saw the assembly line. Howard had not concealed the arsenal inside at all.

Maybe it was because he didn't expect that someone would break in and remain undetected by the various defenses he had set up.

The next task is very simple, just set the bomb and run away.

There were five bombs in total, which might not sound like a lot, but Reed had made them in just three hours. During that time, he had used Valeria's device to make a set of combat uniforms for everyone, as well as a small device for changing positions.

There are even communication devices and so on. Fortunately, Reed is able to help and lend a few more "hands". Otherwise, if someone else like him were to do it, he probably wouldn't be able to do this kind of multi-line operation.

Because there are only five bombs, it is still a bit difficult to blow up the entire building, so some effort is needed in the installation.

Although Susan is not as good as Reed, she graduated from a top university after all. She has been influenced by Reed, a versatile person, and has some knowledge of the skills that only terrorists need to learn.

"First, we need to find the building's load-bearing columns, then find the location within the arsenal where energy is transmitted, and finally find the location where the explosive materials are stored. As long as we find these three locations, only five bombs will reduce the entire building to ruins."

Susan transmitted her thoughts through the mind channel that Quentin had set up in advance. This was the communication method they agreed upon at the beginning to avoid the sound being detected.

Quentin was beyond Susan's imagination. This child was surprisingly smart. As soon as Susan gave the order, he found the energy transmission pipeline and found the location where the energy was stored along the pipeline.

Next came Tyrone. Although this kid had little education, he could easily find the load-bearing columns of a building. He said this was because his interest was related to architecture.

A building has a large number of load-bearing columns, perhaps even close to a thousand. On average, there would be dozens per floor. With only five bombs, they certainly couldn't hit everything. However, Tyrone came up with a plan: they could place the bombs close to the explosive materials and energy storage, but at a distance.

This is because once the explosives placed in these two locations explode, they will definitely destroy the nearest load-bearing columns. If they are too close, it will be wasted, and if they are too far, causing several columns in the middle to be unaffected, then accidents may occur.

Following Tyrone's suggestion, the three men placed the explosives on the left side of the building. This was to use a little trick of cutting down trees to make the building tilt to one side and collapse.

All the installation was done by Tyrone. Only he had the ability to penetrate the protective layer and install the bomb in the weakest part of the object. Because there was no one to hinder them, they completed all the work quickly.

Until the bomb was installed, they did not encounter any obstruction. It seemed that the bait team did a good job and indeed attracted Howard's attention.

...

Having said that, Reed and his team had a terrible time. Although Susan and his team's mission was smooth and without any danger, it still took almost an hour including the journey and installation.

And during this hour, Reed and his team were under attack.

At the beginning, there were only a handful of sentry robots coming to capture them, but as they performed bravely, more and more sentry robots came to attack them.

Not to mention others, there are already hundreds of Sentinel robots attacking Johnny and Ben, and they are densely packed in the sky and on the ground. Fortunately, the heat-resistant coating of these robots is not too advanced, so Johnny can still hold on.

As for Ben, he had it easier than Johnny. These robots couldn't penetrate his defense for the time being, so he could slowly take them down one by one, but he would feel tired after a while.

After several rounds of attacks, these robots also learned to attack his weak points, namely his eyes.

Maybe because someone gave the order, these robots began to hit his eyes continuously. At the beginning, Ben almost got hit. Fortunately, even though he closed his eyes, the violent impact of the missile still made his eyeballs feel uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to cover his face with one hand and attack with only one hand, which undoubtedly reduced his efficiency.

If this goes on, Johnny's energy will be exhausted and he will be caught in a trap, but now all they can do is trust Susan and the other three.

And Susan and the other two did not disappoint them.

"boom!"

First there was a deafening sound, and then a violent storm blew over. Even Ben, who had thick skin and flesh, could feel it, not to mention Johnny who was flying in the sky. The wind blew him all over the place, and he could hardly lose his balance.

A few blocks away, a building collapsed.
