v1 Chapter 188: The chief who was sniped

Chu Cheng selected the armor from the operation interface, clicked the attack button, and immediately saw Tony Stark on the screen walking to the launch pad in the middle of the laboratory.

There were gaps in the ground around the launch pad, and mechanical arms protruded from the bottom. They moved freely, and each arm carried an armored part.

The surrounding mechanical arms began to deploy the armor for Stark. The armor fell into place piece by piece, the armor fitting tightly around Stark's torso. The screws are tightened on the link parts at the joints, and all the parts are interlocked like gears, embedded layer by layer. Until finally the visor fell, the helmet closed, and Tony Stark in the tights disappeared from the launch pad, replaced by the invincible Iron Man who was ready to go.

Different from the red and gold color scheme of the classic armor, the Mark 40 shotgun is mainly armored in blue and silver. Stark at this stage has not yet mastered mature nanotechnology, nor has the high-speed automatic assembly marked by Mark 42. Therefore, this type of Iron Man suit still belongs to the early manual splicing with full mechanical sense.

Many people think that although the Iron Man suits in the later period are getting stronger and stronger, the process of dressing and deploying is becoming more and more free, and the carrying is becoming more and more convenient, but compared with the models in the early years when the technology was immature, they always feel that they are lacking. What.

Without the lengthy armor assembly process, it feels like a little less ritualistic. There is a saying that a mech is a man's romance, without a sense of ritual, even romance seems to be compromised.

"The system self-test is complete. Iron Man, Mark Forty, is ready."

The beautiful voice of Friday sounded.

"Planning the flight route to Huicheng..."

The dome of the laboratory opened, and the bottom of Iron Man's alloy boots ignited and sprayed, and the tail flame instantly lifted the silver-blue armor into the air.

Like a shooting star passing through the night sky of Jiangdu, the shotgun armor broke through the speed of sound in just a moment, and a white air wave exploded behind him, flashing through the air in the blink of an eye, turning into starlight in the sky.

It is not too far from Jiangdu to Huicheng, and the flight speed of the shotgun is as high as Mach 5, which is the speed ceiling of the Iron Man Mark series of conventional armors. It only takes a while to fly this distance.

While waiting for his teammates to be in place, Chu Cheng was not idle, so he switched to the perspective of the Batwoman Cassandra on the Huicheng side, and went to the scene to check the situation and collect information while waiting for his teammates' flight.

At this time, Director Li Shou, who was the target of the sniping, was in the headquarters of the Huicheng Public Security Department, in his office under layers of protection.

It is a building that has been around for some years but still looks quite impressive. The building is six stories high, and on the top of the building are the five big characters of "Huicheng Public Security Department". The characters are wrapped with neon lights, hanging on the top floor like a lighthouse at night, but in this place that has become a playground for killers. The city seems somewhat ironic.

Of course, this situation is likely to be changing now.

The new chief of the Sheriff's Department, for the first time in years, convinced people that this young man was different from the weak, selfish old fellows of old. He was the first commissioner who didn't stop at empty speeches and actually did nothing, and the first hero who dared to actually face the most dangerous guys in the world.

The support rate of the citizens for him is constantly rising, and he seems to have the momentum to become a new star in Huicheng... provided that he can survive before that.

Death threats from the legendary killer "Black Sun" himself shook the entire city for the past two days. After all, no matter how you say it, killers are a shady business. No matter how arrogant these top killer organizations are, they always have their limits.

This is really the first time that the chief of the Public Security Department of a city has been provoking such nonsense.

The incident has attracted considerable attention, even in a city like Huicheng, which has long been ruined, it is enough to cause shocks. The entire Public Security Department became tense like never before. Combat security officers armed with live ammunition stood guard around the clock, and the strength of the security posts was strengthened several times. Everyone who enters and exits the Public Security Department needs to go through strict scrutiny. During extraordinary times, even those who usually do odd jobs in the building are temporarily on leave and prohibited from entering.

Of course, there are a few voices who question that this is a waste of resources, but most people don't think so. Because of the opponent they faced, the legendary killer, he deserved such treatment.

Li Shou stood in front of the coffee machine, staring absently at the thick black liquid falling into the coffee cup, and unconsciously his thoughts drifted away again.

The scene of being ambushed last time appeared before his eyes again, the girl who appeared from the darkness like a bat.

She is mysterious, powerful, as light as a cat, and as mysterious as a ghost. She's skilled—hell, that's a derogatory term to describe that kind of martial art that's unrivaled in prowess. If Li Shou had to say it, it was beyond the scope of martial arts, it should be called art.

In fact, she only appeared in front of Li Shou for less than a minute, but every movement of her was already lingering in the director's mind.

She covered her face with a mask, or to be precise, every inch of her skin was hidden in black leather. But even so, he had no reason to think that it must be a rare and beautiful girl.

No basis, just a detective's hunch.

I don't know where she is now, what is she doing?

By the way, she looks so small, I don't know if she is an adult...

"Director? Your coffee..."

Only then did Li Shou come back to his senses, realizing that he kept pressing the button, and the coffee overflowed from the cup. The black-smelling liquid spread along the edge of the table and splashed onto his shoes, almost soaking them.

The one who reminded him was a new female security officer. Her name is An Xuezhen, she has a delicate melon-shaped face, and she is the type who gets better the more you look at her. She has a pair of sweet dimples when she smiles.

But compared to these, what Li Shou is most optimistic about is that she has the blood and sense of justice unique to young people who have just entered the industry. In the public security department in a place like Huicheng, this quality is especially rare.

An Xuezhen asked cautiously, "Director, are you alright?"

"fine."

Li Shou took a sip from his coffee cup. An Xuezhen quickly handed over the tissue.

"The director is so busy that he hasn't eaten yet, right? Would you like some..."

"No need." Li Shou interrupted ruthlessly, "This is an extraordinary period, go back to your post."

"yes."

An Xuezhen agreed~lightnovelpub.net~ but hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but say again.

"Director, you should also pay attention to rest. Don't be too nervous. The security force of the Public Security Department is unprecedentedly tight. No matter how powerful the killer is, he is still human, and it is absolutely impossible to get in no matter what."

Li Shou didn't answer, and said expressionlessly, "It's time to go back to work."

"......yes."

The little girl walked away resentfully.

Is it impossible to get in anyway?

Theoretically, this is indeed the case, but Li Shou knew what kind of enemy he was going to face this time. Many common senses may not be applicable to opponents of that level, and cannot be taken lightly.

He returned to the office with the coffee cup in his hand, sat down in the chair, and was dazed again.

I don't know where is that girl now?

Cassandra crouched in the ventilation duct above his head: "..."
