Chapter 458: Seawater Poured Into Your Brain and Boiled It?

"You all know what happened later. My doctoral application was rejected, and the technology I developed was bought at a low price..."

Laini sighed softly, looked up at the endless sea in the distance, and leaned on the half-melted railing.

"Drinking, racing, bungee jumping, I was confused and didn't know if what I did was meaningful. I just wanted to vent my emotions.

If it weren't for Aunt May's appearance, I would have died in the Hudson River."

Compared to more than a year ago, Lainie took the initiative to mention this low point in the past again, and it didn't make Lainie in the sea of ​​consciousness collapse like before.

Perhaps because of the experience and growth over such a long time, Lainie is no longer the girl who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

After going through so much with her two brothers and sisters, her vision and thoughts are no longer confined to the small world of the past, and she no longer shackles herself as a 21-year-old fledgling girl.

"Remember the child at the Expo?"

Gazing at the rolling waves on the sea, Lainie suddenly changed her tone and turned the topic to Uncle Ben's family.

"That child is like me, his parents are also on that plane."

As soon as these words came out, the people who were listening silently frowned.

Of course, they knew who the child Lainie was talking about was. It should be the little boy who Lainie affectionately called Little Parker, who was young and had been boarding with Ben Parker's family.

What they didn't expect was that behind the relationship between the two, which was as close as siblings, there was actually such a lamentable reason.

"After Aunt May rescued me, she took me to their home and told me about Little Parker.

It was not until that moment that I realized that there were more people in the world who were equally unfortunate.

What I experienced was just the tip of the iceberg among the many human sufferings."

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, I couldn't help but think of the promise I made when I was at Uncle Ben's house and facing the young Little Parker.

"How about this, from now on you call me sister, I will protect you, if anyone bullies you, you come and tell me, I will avenge you..."

"I promise you, I will never die, never!"

"Pin! Pin it, don't change it for a hundred years..."

Everyone was silent after hearing this, and for a moment they didn't know whether to comfort or say something else.

"Sir, Killian has been found."

But fortunately, Jarvis on the side interrupted everyone's thoughts and refocused everyone's attention on the battlefield.

Tony was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then switched the display screen in the Mark 33 helmet, projecting the perspective of Mark 37 in front of him.

Under the deep sea, Killian, who had been blasted off the right half of his body by a laser cannon from Lainie, was twisting his body strangely at this time, like a ghost drowned in the sea, constantly making heart-pounding roars.

Uh~ah!

Tony frowned and stared, only to find that the half of the body that was missing just now had been repaired almost completely.

Although it still looked strange and abnormal, the shape of the arm could be seen.

The red tissue like lava was constantly repairing Killian's broken body, and under the influence of the sea water, it continued to turn into black patches, falling off his bones and flesh piece by piece.

Such a disgusting scene made Tony feel a little uncomfortable. Even though he had seen the self-healing process of those desperate soldiers, such a horrifying scene still made him frown.

"Jarvis, bring him up."

Out of kindness, Tony curled his lips and ordered the hammerhead shark to bring Killian out.

It's not that Tony didn't want Killian to die, but he still had some things he didn't understand, and wanted to ask this guy in person.

Jarvis responded with a yes, and then controlled the Mark 37 to approach the twisting body.

The hammerhead shark did not touch the guy's red-glowing trunk that was constantly steaming seawater, but pulled one of Killian's legs and lifted him upside down from the sea regardless of the guy's struggle.

Lainie noticed the expanding light spot under the sea surface, and the radar system's perception feedback became clearer as the Mark 37 rose.

Accompanied by the sound of waves breaking the sea surface, the Mark 37 dragged Killian's twisted body and successfully crossed the boundary between the sky and the sea, returning to the shore bridge where everyone was.

Squeak~

When the hammerhead shark threw the struggling Killian onto the platform, the sound of steam steaming reached everyone's ears.

Looking at the shirtless man, Tony's resentment that had been pent up in his heart was finally somewhat dissipated.

"Cough cough ~ cough ~"

Killian subconsciously panted greedily after regaining the comfort of air.

Then he was choked by the seawater accumulated in his chest and abdomen, and he fell to the ground and coughed continuously.

At this moment, he no longer looked as glorious as before, but was clearly a stray dog ​​that fell into the water.

The expensive suit on his body had disappeared, and even the neat shirt inside was gone. He could only collapse to the ground with his upper body naked, and his previous confident and greasy appearance was gone.

"Are you dead or not? If you are not dead, get up quickly. I have something to ask you!"

Without any mercy, Tony's cold voice came from Mark 33.

He took a step forward and took the initiative to stand in front of Leni, blocking part of the latter's sight to prevent Killian from hurting Leni suddenly.

Killian coughed for a while, until he emptied the seawater that poured into his chest and lungs, and then he slowly sat up on the platform with some relief.

He did not answer Tony's words, but glanced around with a cold gaze. His gaze briefly stayed on Roddy, Tony and the other two steel armors for a moment.

The current situation is completely unfavorable to him, and his body is still in the recovery stage, so he can naturally delay it for a while.

"Why, the sea water poured into your brain and boiled inside your skull?"

It seems that Tony, who is so talkative and unforgiving, how could he let go of this opportunity to mock Killian?

It might take him a lot of effort to deal with this guy, but it was easy for him to open his mouth and degrade Killian to pieces.

"snort!"

Killian just snorted and still didn't respond, but what he needed to express was enough.

His brain was not broken, he could hear Tony's cynicism, he just didn't bother to compete with that guy for a moment of verbal advantage.

If it weren't for the unsatisfactory terrain just now, and the cold sea water below greatly inhibited the self-healing ability of the desperate virus in his body.

If it were a flat ground and he was given another chance to do it again, Killian was confident that he would be able to dodge Leni's brutal blow just now.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Killian twisted his body and continued to relax his bones and muscles, making bursts of bone-grinding sounds that were heartbreaking.

The repair process of the Extremis virus extremely tests one's willpower. If he had not been familiar with the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, he would have died completely in the dark sea below.

Taking a cautious step back, Killian seemed to be a little afraid of everyone present.

The Mark 37 Hammerhead Shark behind him immediately held down Killian's shoulders, forcing him to stop his retreat.

As everyone knows, this is what Killian really wants to achieve.

"Tsk, what do you want to ask?"

Deliberately showing a desperate look, Killian had an expression of unwillingness on his face.

Indeed, no one who looks at Killian's current appearance, surrounded by Tony and others, would think that this guy has any back-up plans for a comeback.

Tony is even more so.

Seeing Killian's unwillingness, Tony immediately smiled mockingly, took another step forward, and asked:

"How did you find Pepper and the others?"

Compared to the Iron Soldiers who had been destroyed by Tony, he was obviously more concerned about Pepper's safety at this time.

Standing at an altitude of 10,000 meters, if someone hadn't revealed the location and deliberately sent the real-time positioning, no matter how capable Killian was, it would have been impossible to bypass Jarvis' supervision and go straight to the airbus!

Killian smiled coldly when he heard this, and the unwilling expression on his face turned into mockery.

"Didn't you already guess it? How could I just let that woman Maya Hansen go find you?"

Although invisible through the steel mask, Killian guessed that Tony's expression must be very wonderful now.

"But what I didn't expect was that that woman actually missed you so much that she actually dared to secretly find your villa behind my back.

It's a pity that you two were not blown up together. "

As soon as these words came out, Mark 33 Silver Centurion's fist tightened, and Tony almost couldn't hold back from punching Killian in the face!
