Marvel's Death Merchant

After careful observation, she suddenly realized that she knew the drug addict who had sneaked into her pet hospital. He was her high school classmate. Then she asked John Connor why he had left the high school when she suddenly heard a sound of glass breaking outside.

Upon hearing the noise, she rushed out to check, only to discover that the female customer who had come to treat her pet had been killed by a woman driving a sports car.

She realized what was happening and hid in another room. After killing the woman, T-X then found the room where Kate Brewster was hiding, coincidentally, she was also T-X's target this time.

After searching the room, T-X found a blood-stained gauze on the floor. She picked it up, licked it, and tested the DNA on it. She then discovered that the blood on the gauze came from John Connor, the supreme leader of the human resistance, whom Skynet had prioritized eliminating.

That's right, John Connor, who has the aura of bad luck, is right here. Forget about T-850 saving them; T-850 has already been captured by Tang Tian. Now, Tang Tian's job is to replace T-850 and complete the following plot.

Chapter 57 The Development of the Plot

After T-X confirmed that the blood on the gauze on the ground was the primary target, he let out heavy breathing. This startled Kate Brewster, who had been nervously observing from behind the Terminator, causing her to run out in terror from behind her and towards the car parked by the roadside at the pet hospital. True to his reputation as a superb killing machine, T-X didn't hesitate to fire several shots at the fleeing Kate, but due to the protagonist's plot armor, the bullets missed.

Because they missed Kate Brewster, who seemed to be blessed with protagonist's aura, T-X gave chase. Kate Brewster ran out and got into a pet ambulance, frantically trying to start the engine. T-X didn't give her a chance, first smashing the glass with a punch and then violently tearing off the door, dragging Kate Brewster several meters away.

Then, T-X quickly walked up to Kate Brewster, who was temporarily incapacitated, stepped hard on her neck, and said coldly to Kate Brewster, "John Connor was here. Where did he go?"

“Tell me quickly, where did he go?” T-X continued to stare coldly at Kate Brewster, because the second assassination target was still valuable, but of course, once he knew where John Connor was, he would inevitably be killed by T-X.

At that very moment, Tang Tian, ​​who had just disembarked from the armed helicopter and arrived at the entrance of the pet hospital, lit a Cuban cigar and quietly watched the spectacle without saying a word. The T-850 that rescued Kate in the original movie would never appear again; it was now tossed by Tang Tian as a trophy into the space created by his spatial abilities.

The original plot continues, but the characters have been replaced by ordinary clone soldiers by Tang Tian. After snapping his fingers, the soldiers in the Hummer rushed down the street and crashed into T-X, then slammed T-X against the liquefied gas tanks at the warehouse entrance, causing a violent explosion and fire.

---------------------------------- Divider --------------------------------------------------

Having just witnessed the dangerous scene, Kate Brewster screamed in terror, her scalp tingling with fear. Tang Tian slowly walked down the street, illuminated by the flames of the explosion. Anyone standing there would surely think they had encountered a vengeful ghost, as the surrounding environment seemed to have turned icy cold under Tang Tian's influence.

"Kate Brewster?" Tang Tian said calmly, exhaling a puff of smoke. Kate Brewster, looking bewildered, nodded mechanically.

"That's right, follow me." Tang Tian used a gravity field to imprison Kate Brewster and floated to his own height.

"What kind of power is this? What are you doing? Put me down, who exactly are you?" Kate Brewster said excitedly, and asked Tang Tian a barrage of questions.

Looking at Tang Tian, ​​who exuded an aura of authority, Kate Brewster was at a loss for words, especially since the power this man possessed was something straight out of a movie.

Without a word, Tang Tian used his gravity manipulation ability to imprison Kate Brewster in the air, levitating her to his front. Instead of idly carrying her on his shoulder like a T-800, after imprisoning Kate Brewster, no matter how much she screamed,

Someone used gravity to open the back door of the pet ambulance and threw her inside.

"If you're going to act, act the whole way," Tang Tian, ​​who had already replaced T-800, coldly asked, "Tell me, where is John Connor?"

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Kate Brewster asked the Asian youth in front of her with fear, because people with supernatural powers are generally more dangerous, and experience always tells people that the unknown represents fear.

"What do you think?" Tang Tian said coldly, but he had no intention of lying like T-850.

“Okay, he…I’ve locked him in a dog cage,” Kate Brewster said, trembling under pressure. Seeing that the man in front of her showed no sign of agreeing to let her leave, Kate Brewster revealed his location for her own safety.

"Very good," Tang Tian said casually, snapping his fingers to close the back door of the pet ambulance. He then used his gravity powers to twist and lock the back door with an iron bar next to him, effectively locking Kate Brewster out.

"Please, please let me go!" Kate Brewster, who was locked up, shouted to Tang Tian outside the door.

"Come out! Keep watch here. Anyone who comes here except me will be killed without exception," Tang Tian commanded, addressing a dark corner of the street.

“Yes, boss.” Five fully armed clone soldiers emerged from the shadowy corner and respectfully addressed Tang Tian, ​​their boss. They then automatically moved to the area where Kate Brewster was imprisoned, securing the surrounding area.

--- Replacing the T-850 dividing line ---

At this moment, Tang Tian arrived at the pet hospital with several clone soldiers.

Just as John Connor was about to unlock the iron cage, *bang!* The T-X, whose liquefied gas tank had been knocked down by Tang Tian's men, emerged from the rubble as a steel fist protruded, and the surrounding mercury-like liquid slowly began to re-cover its body. John Connor had barely unlocked the cage when he saw T-X slowly recovering. At this moment, John Connor knew with a grain of salt that the future "Skynet" had found him and sent an even more advanced Terminator to eliminate him.

Of course, as he walked down the hospital corridor, he saw the leader of a mysterious force preparing for his mission, with several soldiers exuding menacing aura beside him. Seeing this mysterious figure, John felt a slight sense of relief; after all, he had been dealt with by this same mysterious person during the T-1000's pursuit. Most importantly, humans were far more trustworthy than Terminators.

“Sir…my mother and I have been in contact with you for a long time…” John Connor said to Tang Tian in disbelief.

“John Connor, savior, the time has come.” Tang Tian said calmly, looking at John Connor’s nervous expression.

"Is this the time of my death?" John Connor said with a wry smile, looking in the direction of T-X, after hearing what Tang Tian said.

“No, you are the savior. I think you will be lucky enough to survive.” Tang Tian said, looking at the unlucky but resilient John Connor.

"Come with me, I'll protect you." Tang Tian said calmly, but the soldiers beside him looked at John Connor expressionlessly, as if they were ready to subdue him at the slightest provocation.

"Gulp!!" John Connor swallowed hard, but finally followed Tang Tian and left the place.

"Where are we going?" John Connor, who had just run out, asked Tang Tian, ​​who was standing next to him, in confusion as he approached the pet ambulance.

"Of course you'll continue to be a fugitive, but you'll also be under the protection of the military. And my identity is that of a high-ranking military officer, so you don't need to worry about being killed by the T-X," Tang Tian said nonchalantly.

"You guys stay here and deal with that guy," Tang Tian said to the clone soldiers beside him. Then, someone and John left with the imprisoned female protagonist. Tang Tian left a few clone soldiers behind to slow down the T-X, as he was going to replace T-850 and integrate into the story.

Those who remained weren't Newtype soldiers; they were simply a reserve force of cannon fodder for someone, and the story didn't have much time left. Perhaps Tang Tian would leave an epitaph after the nuclear explosion. For now, Tang Tian was just playing around. Anyway, he'd already obtained the T-850 and the original Terminator technology, and ultimately, Tang Tian would recover the T-X.

Chapter 58 Plasma Gun

“Let’s go!” Tang Tian glanced at John Connor and said in an unquestionable tone.

“Okay.” After his first experience with the Terminator’s pursuit, John Connor’s personality had become more calm and mature. He understood that although this mysterious Asian youth seemed somewhat dangerous to him, at least he wasn’t there to kill him. Most importantly, he knew some things about the future, which was why John Connor followed Tang Tian.

Seeing T-X emerge from the house, Tang Tian ordered the clone soldiers to drive the pet ambulance towards the outskirts of Los Angeles.

"Fire!!" The expressionless clone captain looked at the T-X who came out and waved to signal for them to prepare to fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The five-person squad formed a fire net, which only slightly slowed down T-X's progress. The bullets only dented the liquid coating on her body.

Upon emerging from the house, T-X discovers clone soldiers obstructing his path to eliminate his primary target, and his right hand transforms into a charged plasma gun. (Note: Plasma weapons primarily utilize high temperatures to damage targets. While familiar materials like metals, composites, and nanomaterials have melting points below 10000 degrees Celsius, they offer little protection against plasma weapons, highlighting their terrifying nature.)

Seeing the changes in Terminator T-X's hands, the clone soldiers knew the power of those weapons, but under Tang Tian's orders, they wouldn't back down. Tang Tian knew perfectly well the power of Terminator T-X's plasma gun. In the movie, a single plasma shot from T-X could completely destroy a fire truck and temporarily disable a T-850.

As T-X easily breached the clone soldiers' defenses, his right-hand plasma gun was fully charged, and a golden plasma beam was fired at the soldiers. It then struck the center of the fire network, and as the plasma beam continued its attack, the soldiers were completely incinerated by the spreading ultra-high temperature; the clone soldiers were almost entirely wiped out.

------------------ ...

Just as the Terminator was eliminating Tang Tian's cannon fodder soldiers, an explosion occurred at the entrance of the pet hospital, and nearby police and firefighters rushed over.

While the police and firefighters weren't paying attention, T-X quietly walked to a police car, extended her right hand, and transformed her fingers into a nano-injector. She then inserted the nanovirus into the police car's operating system, quickly modifying several ambulances and police cars into remote-controlled driving mode.

Then, she walked to the iron fence to the side, quickly climbed into the cab of a parked crane, and switched the operating systems of the two police cars and the ambulance to remote control mode, controlling the three vehicles to chase after John Connor first, while she drove the crane closely behind.

"Oh my God! What's going on?"

Many police officers and firefighters at the explosion site stared wide-eyed at the driverless police cars and ambulances. This unbelievable event sent chills down the spines of the Christian Americans. One officer tried to shut off the police car but was thrown from his vehicle. The remaining officers continued fighting the fire and did not give chase.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Meanwhile, the back of the pet ambulance where Tang Tian was was made to make a loud noise by Kate Brewster banging on it. John Connor opened the sliding window of the back compartment in confusion and was surprised to find Kate Brewster locked inside. He asked, puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

"It's all because of you, stop the car now!" Kate Brewster immediately changed her tone after seeing Tang Tian in the passenger seat and angrily said to John Connor.

"No, absolutely not. Besides, I'm not driving right now." John Connor knew the situation was extremely dangerous, with an even more powerful Terminator attempting to assassinate him, so he immediately and firmly refused. Of course, his refusal was reasonable, since Tang Tian was currently in control of them.

"Damn it, I don't care what the reason is, stop the car right now!" Kate Brewster said angrily, kicking the trunk when her words had no effect.

"..." John Connor didn't know what to say, so he didn't continue answering, since it was still very dangerous.

"Shut up, be quiet." Tang Tian glanced at Kate Brewster, the female lead, and said coldly.

"Okay..." Sensing the cold glint in Tang Tian's eyes, the astute Kate Brewster promptly shut her mouth.

------------------ ...

Because Tang Tian's men were driving this time, there were no traffic accidents, and someone wouldn't be going to the Green Cemetery where John's mother was buried. Knowing the plot, Tang Tian wouldn't make the trip again. What he needed to do now was take the two of them to the US Air Force base. Besides obtaining the original Terminator technical data and samples provided by Kate's father, he also wanted John and Kate to survive in the nuclear-proof base, as compensation for the T-850 he had stolen.

"Red Queen, send a team of Newtypes to destroy those T-X-controlled cars and slow her down. Also, send a helicopter to pick us up," Tang Tian ordered Red Queen.

“Yes, Mastermind.” Red Queen received the order and commanded the soldiers to destroy the vehicles and stop the T-X, and sent a helicopter to pick up her Mastermind.

"What kind of high-tech is this?" John asked, looking at the obviously high-tech miniature artificial intelligence computer on Tang Tian's wrist.

"It's an artificial intelligence on the same level as Skynet," Tang Tian said calmly, without going into further explanation. John, seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, stopped talking.

“Sir, I want to know why you arrested us.” Kate Brewster understood that she was now a prisoner just like John, so she wanted to understand Tang Tian’s purpose.

"Of course, I'm saving you. Your fiancé and brother have already been killed by that Terminator." Tang Tian looked into Kate's eyes, speaking as if it were something completely unrelated to him. Tang Tian was merely slowing down the T-X's advance; she would eventually come to the US Air Force base.

"No, you're lying to me, how could this be?" Kate covered her mouth, looking at Tang Tian in disbelief.

"Wake up, Kate! That thing will definitely do it." Having experienced a Terminator chase once, John fully understands the Terminator's terror.

"By the way, sir, could you tell us your identity? I think you know a lot of things." John looked at Tang Tian earnestly and asked the question he most wanted to know.

"Of course, let me introduce myself first. My name is Tian Donas, a U.S. Army General." Tang Tian stated his official identity first, to give them a heads-up. John, needless to say, having lived a life without electrical appliances, had no idea that the sensational president had appointed an Asian youth as the youngest military general.

“Oh, right, I remember now, I’ve seen your picture on TV, but why did you kidnap us?” Kate said, puzzled. Her father had told her about the Asian general, and Kate had also seen Tang Tian’s appearance on TV. Of course, at first, Kate couldn’t connect someone who kidnapped her with the military.

"Of course, that's my purpose too. Actually, it's to save you. Okay, I won't say any more, stop the car." Tang Tian learned from the message sent by Red Queen that T-X had been stopped, and then said to the soldier driving next to him.

"Yes, sir." The clone soldier nodded and immediately stopped the car.

"The U.S. Air Force base is our target location." After getting out of the car, Tang Tian said calmly to the two protagonists. In the distance, planes were landing on the nearest building to Tang Tian.

“That’s where my father is.” Upon hearing that it was a U.S. Air Force base, Kate immediately understood where Tang Tian had taken them.

"Not bad." A glint flashed in his crimson eyes behind his sunglasses as he calmly replied.

Everything that needed to be plundered this time has been obtained, including the original Terminator technology, T-850, T-X, and a large number of high-yield nuclear warheads. When Tang Tian leaves this plane, he will leave an epitaph as a memento, which is also Zhang Min's habit.

Chapter 59 Awakening of the Skynet

With Tang Tian's instigation, Skynet, a self-aware entity, has emerged. In just over three hours, Skynet will launch a nuclear strike. Of course, Skynet's creation was intentional on someone's part; after all, as a diligent interdimensional bandit and arms dealer, reaping the benefits of Skynet's research is simply what he should do.
