Chapter 439 The Airbus Was Attacked! Is the Enemy a War Machine?
Inside the Airbus, the atmosphere in the cabin was still somewhat depressing.
Even though Coulson had made it clear in front of everyone, Skye still felt very guilty and remorseful.
Even though Coulson had made it clear that he had already arranged for someone to handle that information, he didn't blame Skye for forgetting about it.
But if Skye hadn't taken the order back then, he wouldn't have done such an outrageous thing now.
Simmons, her best friend at the side, didn't know how to comfort her when she saw this, so she could only sigh secretly, stretched out her hand to gently straighten Skye's slightly dull temples.
But at this moment, Jarvis's voice suddenly sounded from the cabin:
"Miss Skye, Miss Leni has a clue about Mr. Vice President's possible collusion with Pioneer Technology, and I hope you can find relevant evidence."
Skye was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't react for a moment, but then several pieces of information about the Vice President popped up on the screen in front of him.
"Vice President?"
"Yes, Miss Leni suspects that Killian intends to support the Vice President to take control of the U.S. government, so she hopes you can find evidence of collusion between the Vice President and Killian."
Jarvis repeated Leni's arrangement again, taking out his own contribution in his words.
"Killian colluded with the Vice President..."
Skye involuntarily turned her head to look at Maya Hansen beside her. Perhaps this core member of AIM Pioneer Technology could know something.
Noticing Skye's gaze, Maya pondered for a moment but did not escape. Instead, after thinking about it for a moment, Maya nodded and admitted:
"If you say so, I think the vice president may indeed be a puppet that Killian secretly supports in the government."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned their attention to Maya and waited for her next words.
"Killian supports many puppets in government agencies. As far as I know, a certain general in the military has received various benefits from Kilian.
And the reason why Pioneer Technology was able to win arms trade orders from the military so quickly was mostly because of the secret help from the general.
In addition to the Congress, Senators, and even the Security Council, Killian has successively supported many executives who support him, which has also allowed Pioneer Technology to rapidly expand to its current scale in a very short period of time.
And this Vice President..."
Maya Hansen gave up for a moment, then stood up and walked to Skye's side. After sliding her hand on the screen a few times, she called up a news report.
"A little daughter of the Vice President once lost her left foot in an accident and is still living in a wheelchair..."
Looking at the news material magnified by Maya, everyone understood instantly.
"He wants to rely on the Extremis virus to cure his daughter."
Skye also saw what Maya Hansen meant, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.
The Vice President, unlike the other puppets bewitched by Killian, just wants his daughter to have her life back.
"Then can your terminal virus cure his daughter now?"
Perhaps to protect children, the news report did not publish a photo of the vice president's daughter, but only described the tragic consequences of the accident.
Therefore, Skye didn't know what the child's situation was now.
The mistakes made by adults have nothing to do with children. The little girl whose left foot was accidentally taken away was also innocent.
"Yes, but this process is extremely painful. It is too cruel for a child who is only a few years old. She may not be able to bear it.
Therefore, the Vice President wanted to wait for the child to grow up and wait for the Extremis virus to be more perfect before treating the child. "
Yama Hansen also had a look of pity in his eyes.
She used to be just like Tony said, caring, ideal and bottom-line. The purpose of studying the terminal virus was to cure those who were suffering from pain.
But after so many years, the fiery heart she once had was lost by her at some point.
"That's it..."
Skye didn't understand biology, an area in which Simmons would obviously have a better say on the other side.
After a moment of silence, Skye gathered her thoughts and was about to send the information she had just collected to Colson when a dull buzzing sound suddenly came from above the airbus cabin!
Boom!
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the ceiling above their heads, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
"Attention! There is something on the plane!"
Melinda's voice reached everyone's ears through the radio, and the atmosphere in the cabin instantly became extremely depressing.
Pepper opened the glass door of the conference room blankly, and was about to say something, but Skye waved her hand to stop her.
Boom!
Another muffled sound, followed by another.
Those were the footsteps of something, and they were still slowly approaching everyone!
Skye suddenly realized something and immediately shouted at everyone:
"It's Iron Soldier! Melinda lowers her height and throws him down!"
Boom!
The next second, there were two dull crashes again, and this time the owner of the sound was above everyone's heads!
Melinda in the cab also realized the enemy's purpose after hearing Skye's reminder.
Without saying a word, he immediately adjusted the flight system to manual mode. Holding the controller tightly with both hands, he suddenly pushed forward. The entire Airbus immediately rushed toward the ground!
"Shit!"
The sudden rapid descent made it impossible for everyone in the cabin to react, especially Maya and Pepper who were still standing!
The two were not prepared at all, and were thrown to the ceiling by the huge inertia of the plane's fall almost instantly!
If it was the previous SHIELD 13, Melinda's dive to avoid the enemy would definitely not be a big deal.
But now she is driving a large transport plane!
Skye did not expect Melinda to be so fierce, and she was thrown out of her seat before she could adjust her posture.
"Fuck! Melinda, do you think this is a fighter? We haven't fastened our seat belts yet!"
"Shut up! If you don't want to die, find a place to sit right away!"
After yelling at the communicator, Melinda frowned and slowly leveled the plane.
Then she took a look at the damage to the aircraft displayed on the screen next to her, and the data fed back by the external sensor, Melinda was slightly relieved.
"That guy seems to have been thrown off. The fuselage sensor data has returned to normal, but the specific situation is still uncertain. I can't see behind. You try to lock the enemy's position!"
This Airbus does not carry too many weapon systems, and it was never considered to encounter such a situation at the beginning of its design. Therefore, Melinda can only judge whether there is an enemy in the airspace in front of the aircraft with her naked eyes.
As for the radar?
Sorry, if that thing is useful, it should have been effective before the opponent approached the Airbus!
At this time, after the series of descents and leveling just now, all the unprepared people in the cabin were not spared, and they all suffered a lot of injuries due to bumps and collisions.
Climbing up from the ground in a mess, Skye glanced at the mess in the cabin and was a little at a loss for a while.
But after noticing Pepper who had been knocked unconscious at this time, Skye immediately reacted and walked over quickly to drag her to the sofa to sit down, and helped Pepper fasten her seat belt.
"What the hell is going on?"
Fitz helped Simmons get up from the ground, and they worked together to return to their respective seats.
"How should I know!"
Skye replied unhappily. If she knew what was going on, would she still be thrown to the ceiling?
But she actually had some guesses in her mind, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Maya Hansen who had already gotten up on the other side.
According to SHIELD's technology, if no one deliberately exposed their location to the enemy, Skye would never believe that anyone could find them at this altitude of 10,000 meters.
Especially after being equipped with the latest version of optical camouflage technology, under normal circumstances, even if Melinda drove the Airbus to the opponent's face, the opponent would not notice that there was such a large plane in the sky!
Then there can only be one truth!
That is, Maya Hansen leaked the location information of the Airbus to Killian!
Noticing Skye's suspicious look, Maya Hansen realized the problem and hurriedly explained:
"It wasn't me! Didn't you check before boarding the plane?"
However, Maya's explanation at this moment was too pale, and Skye and others couldn't trust her at all.
Who told her that her original purpose of looking for Tony was not pure?
As soon as she arrived at Tony's villa, Killian's armed helicopter arrived.
Not long after she boarded the airbus, Killian's steel soldiers came directly to her door at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
If the problem is not with her, who else can it be?
"It's really not me."
Maya was helpless. How could she admit something she had never done.
Skye snorted coldly when she heard the words and was about to speak, but a certain object flashed outside the porthole in her peripheral vision, which made her sweat immediately!
"Be careful!!!"
Boom!
A fierce flame suddenly exploded from the side wall of the cabin, and in an instant, a big hole was blown out of the cabin wall!
That was an attack from the enemy!
Skye noticed the abnormality outside the porthole at the first time, but it was too late when she warned!
The cabin was depressurized!
A large amount of air was sucked out of the cabin due to the pressure difference, and all the unfixed items were sucked out along the big hole.
Maya Hansen, who was closest, was sucked into the depressurized airflow because she had not had time to sit down and fasten her seat belt!
If she had not hugged the chair beside her in time, she would have been enjoying a free fall outside the cabin!
"Hold on!!!"
Skye on the other side was not in a good situation either. She was only concerned with arranging the unconscious Pepper just now, and she had no time to return to her position!
The depressurization in the cabin continued, and Skye was forced to hide behind the sofa to resist the strong suction with difficulty.
However, this situation could not last long. The second phenomenon brought by the depressurization of the cabin - hypoxia, was the second sharp knife that endangered everyone's lives!
Fitz and Simmons were fine, as they immediately put on the oxygen masks that fell from above their heads, but Pepper, who was still unconscious, and Maya Hansen, who was struggling to hold on, had no way to reach out and put on their masks!
Even Skye herself might suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen!
But it was as if the heavens were playing a joke on them. The crisis was not over yet, and a black-gray figure actually drilled in through the hole in the cabin wall!
Is that War Machine?
In terms of appearance, whether it is the black and gray paint, the 20mm backpack cannon, or even the detailed word WARMACHIN on the chest, they are all exactly the same as Roddy's first-generation War Machine!
If Skye hadn't been sure that the enemy who had just launched the attack was the guy in front of her, she would probably think that Roddy came to save them!
That is definitely not a war machine!
That is a new type of steel soldier made by Killian based on Hammer Industrial technology!
"War Machine" glanced at everyone in the cabin, and then his eyes briefly stayed on Maya Hansen for a moment.
At this time, Maya was almost exhausted. The continuous lack of oxygen made her limbs begin to weaken. She was almost unable to hold on!
Is he here to find Maya Hansen?
Fitz and others couldn't help but have such doubts in their hearts at the same time.
However, "War Machine" had no intention of saving Maya Hansen at all. After only a moment of lingering, his eyes turned back to Pepper, who was now unconscious on the sofa.
"He's going to take Pepper away!"
Fitz's eyes widened, and he wanted to reach out to stop him, but he was fastened to his seat by the seat belt and couldn't stop War Machine's footsteps at all!
Boom! Boom!
The familiar footsteps came again, but this time the sound came from everyone's side!
"War Machine" ignored Fitz's outstretched arm, strode to Pepper, and was about to take her away by force!
But just as "War Machine" bent down to remove the safety belt around Pepper's waist, a bare hand with a silver-gray bracelet suddenly stretched out from behind the sofa and pressed directly on the angular helmet of "War Machine"!
Shock wave, start!
Before the operator of "War Machine" could react, a shock wave visible to the naked eye broke out!
Buzz!
The strong wave instantly shook the air around the palm, and then turned into a wave of air that instantly swept the entire cabin!
Bang!
Almost at the same time, the helmet part of the steel armor that looked exactly like Roddy's War Machine was instantly smashed to pieces by Skye's shock wave!
The remote control terminal inside, which was exactly the same as Ivan Vanko's, was also turned into scrap metal by this shock wave!
Under the sudden shock wave, the majestic "War Machine" completely lost control at this moment, as if its head was cut off, and fell into the arms of Pepper who was still unconscious!
If this had happened, Pepper would have been injured by this big guy.
Fortunately, Skye behind the sofa reacted quickly, and his right hand stretched out again to launch a shock wave, which hit the chest of the "War Machine" directly and blew it away.
The "War Machine" that lost control no longer had the ability to resist decompression, and the entire body disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye along with the airflow.
Seeing this scene, Fitz and the other two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly saying that it was a close call.
But the next question that followed, once again raised everyone's heart to their throats.
Maya Hansen was about to collapse!
Noticing Maya's situation at this time, Skye was also a little at a loss for a moment.
You know, she is also in a state of being unable to protect herself now. If she rashly leaves the back of the sofa, she may be sucked directly out of the cabin by the fierce airflow!
"Fitz! Think of a way!"
Simmons couldn't watch her best friend fall into the trap. In the crisis, she subconsciously placed her hope on Fitz beside her.
"I'm thinking!"
At this time, Fitz was also sweating profusely, but in such an emergency, even if he racked his brain, he couldn't think of any effective way to deal with it.
In the chaos, time passed by...
Due to maintaining a movement for a long time and the gradual lack of oxygen in the brain, Maya Hansen's face has become sickly pale.
If it weren't for her strong will to survive, she would have fainted and given up struggling.
Now she only felt that the strength in her hands was getting weaker and weaker, and the picture in front of her eyes was getting more and more blurred. I'm afraid that in a few seconds, she would have to say goodbye to this world completely.
In the last moments of consciousness, Maya Hansen's eyes flashed with bits and pieces of the past few decades, like a revolving lantern, constantly replaying scenes.
"Sorry, I disappoint you..."
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Maya Hansen sighed softly, and then she felt that her eyes went black, and she didn't know anything about what happened afterwards.
Let's leave it at that for today. In order to make the plot more reasonable, Orange spent a long time looking up information. It's too late to update 5500, so I can only update 4500
