Chapter 392: Rush 2
The two cars drove side by side in a straight line, quickly passed through this remote road, and began to rush into the city, weaving in and out of the dense traffic.
Faced with the turbulent traffic, the speed of the two cars not only did not slow down but accelerated again.
Holding his heart, Stark fastened his seat belt immediately.
Even though he was wearing a seat belt and even though he was sitting in the back seat of the car, Stark did not feel a bit safe. The cold wind blowing in from the broken windshield filled his mouth.
Stark took out his cell phone from his pocket tremblingly. He had already thought about how to leave his last words.
"Jarvis, help me call Pepper." Stark said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, Mr. Stark, I'm happy to help you."
Not knowing which part of the car was damaged in the previous car accident, the door next to Stark opened silently.
"Oh my God!"
Stark suddenly realized what was happening and glanced at the nearby street and the cars speeding by. His hand holding the phone trembled and he almost dropped the phone out of fright.
With a bump, the door on the other side of Stark's car suddenly opened, and strong winds rushed into the car from all directions.
Stark gripped his seatbelt and carefully reached out his palm to pull the door back.
But after another bump, the car door that was originally close to Stark's palm was actually farther away.
With a loud bang, a speeding car knocked the door next to Stark flying.
Stark glanced at Carter who was turning the steering wheel left and right in front of him, wailing in his heart. Did he want to hire her as his driver before?
On the bright side, at least you don't have to think about how to close the car door.
Turning his head again, Stark met Hammer's eyes as he lay on the hood of Nick's car, exchanging the despair in each other's hearts.
Seeing Hammer, who was in the most miserable state, Stark felt psychologically comforted.
"Hey! Stark! Where are you now? What's the situation? What happened?"
"Well--"
When he heard the call was finally connected, Stark pulled the scarf on his face, looked down at the ground rapidly passing by his feet, and at the driver Carter whose driving skills were not reliable, and said:
"I'm doing fine now, at least it can't get any worse.
Oh! Fuck! "
beep--
Amid the roar of huge horns, Stark opened his eyes wide and saw a Peterbilt heavy truck rushing towards him at the door.
The heavy truck was very close, so close that it seemed as if Stark could touch it with just his hand. It flashed past Stark and was left far behind by Carter.
Just a little, just a little!
"What's wrong? Tony! What happened!" Pepper exclaimed worriedly.
"Nothing happened. I was almost sent to another world by a truck. In the current situation, it makes no difference whether I get hit by a car or crash into another car. The final result is just to be burned into ashes and put in a broken box. Today is really a bad day..."
Listening to Stark's decadent tone, Pepper said anxiously:
"Stark! Where are you? Tell me and I will find a way to rescue you immediately."
Covering his head, Stark said:
"Turn on the TV and watch the Economic News Network, the channel that most often reports on car chases. I think you'll see me soon."
There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, and Little Pepper took action, then she exclaimed:
"Oh my God! Are you tied to the hood of the car?"
"What?" Stark was slightly stunned, then corrected:
"That wasn't me, that was Justin Hammer, that idiot. I was in another car, damn it! Why am I here!"
Holding his head, Stark recalled the first half of his life...
Unlike Stark who was still able to complain, Hammer, whose face was pale, kept his mouth tightly shut, unable to utter a word due to the strong wind.
The car would occasionally run over sewage and gravel, feeling the bird droppings drying on it.
Hammer's trembling right elbow weakly tried to break Nick's bulletproof glass and get into the car.
Then one of them didn't hit the target properly and hit his tendons instead, causing his entire face to become distorted.
Inside the basically intact car, Nick checked the car's system again, and a magnetic male voice sounded:
"Sir, your car system is in good working order and there is no damage. The brakes are in good working order and the air conditioning is functioning smoothly.
I did not detect the brake damage and network loss you mentioned.
In addition, I detected that you were driving too fast. There is a speeding camera ahead. I suggest you slow down immediately. "
"Mazefak! I can't brake right now, and you're telling me this is normal? Also, turn off the signal blocking function in the car, you son of a bitch, artificial idiot."
In the car, through the gaps in Hammer's body, Nick drove the car covered with bird droppings to avoid crisis again and again. His face couldn't be darker.
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand what you are saying. Please don't use metaphors, rhetorical questions or hints in your orders to avoid unnecessary car accidents."
Nick punched the car and turned off the artificial intelligence, quickly thinking of a solution.
On the other side, Charlotte, who was in the co-pilot seat, crossed his arms and offered suggestions in a leisurely manner, with a look of amusement in his mind:
"Polio~ I have a good idea, would you like to try it?"
Stark said with a dark face: “If you wanted to, you would have stopped this broken car long ago instead of coming up with some weird ideas here!
I believe you have no good intentions."
“Hehehe… How can you be so much like me~ Isn’t it very interesting now!
Remember when we were in Afghanistan? Nothing would happen to you while I was there."
After listening to Charlotte's words, Stark felt a little relieved, but only a little.
He still had hope for Pepper. Pepper and Happy had already set off in his sports car, and he believed that he would be rescued soon.
Charlotte, the co-pilot, turned around and suggested with a smile:
"Although the brake system is faulty now, as long as the car runs out of gas, it will stop naturally."
Stark's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Charlotte in disbelief, "So...what's your suggestion?"
Charlotte said with shining eyes:
"Look, you pull on your seat belt, lean half of your body out of the car, open the gas cap, unscrew the valve, and use a hose to suck out the gasoline inside. Hey, doesn't the car stop?"
"Yes! Yes!" Carter turned around with a tense expression and said with surprise:
"Director, you are really smart. You have polio. Why are you still standing there? Come on!"
"Please call me Lord Hydra Leader!" Charlotte interrupted.
"Asshole! Watch the road!" Stark screamed and warned.
Carter quickly turned around and turned the steering wheel, thus avoiding another rollover crisis.
Stark breathed a sigh of relief and choked:
"Climb out and suck out the gasoline? That's human language! Do you think I'm Spider-Man?
I have called Pepper and our support will arrive soon. There must be a better way."
DUANG——
In order to avoid danger, the two moving cars collided. Hammer screamed in horror, and his outstretched foot almost kicked Stark's head directly.
We can't go on like this, we have to find a solution!
Looking at Hammer's leg twitching, Stark observed a moment of silence for him.
At this time, several police cars with flashing lights approached from the side in the distance, and George, the leader, shouted on the intercom:
"Stop the vehicle ahead immediately! Stop immediately! Release the hostages!"
"Great, it's George!" Carter said in surprise:
"George's interception technique is the best. We are saved."
"What? Stop?" Stark's face changed drastically.
"Damn it! I think it's a good idea to go out and suck the gasoline. Look, isn't Hammer right next to us? We can let him suck it."
Everyone knows what the U.S. police are best at, and with the current speed of cars, being stopped by a PIT is definitely more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
Covering his head, Stark said:
"I've asked Happy to drive my battle suit over here. I just have to hold on for a while..."
As he spoke, George drove the police car to Carter's side. Seeing Carter, George's originally fierce expression trembled, and even his voice trembled unnaturally:
"Carter? What are you doing here?"
"Hi, George, I'm driving." Carter turned his head and looked at George, smiling silly:
"What a coincidence, you are driving too."
George opened his mouth, and countless words paused, turning into a long sigh:
"Carter, the brakes on this car are failing again, aren't they?"
"Wow! George, how did you know that?"
George, feeling tired, said nothing, because the last time this happened, he was the unlucky guy sitting in the passenger seat of Carter's car.
In general, riding in Carter's car is more exciting than riding in Charlotte's car, because you never know which part of the car will break down in the next moment. George has a deep understanding of this.
"Hey, George! We have a good idea." Charlotte also poked her head out and said.
"It's you, the wanted criminal!?" George frowned again and looked Charlotte up and down with scrutiny.
"Yes, it's me!" Charlotte raised her head and said proudly:
"This time, I not only kidnapped Tony Stark, but also Justin Hammer, two major weapons giants in the United States. What do you think? Am I awesome?"
Awesome! Do you want me to praise you again?
George gasped as he realized that the unlucky guy teetering on Nick's car was actually Justin Hammer.
Of course, Stark, sitting in the doorless back seat, was just as dangerous.
After thinking for two seconds, George asked:
"Father Cage, what's your good idea?"
"Hey, find a hose, then open the gas cap of our car, turn the valve, put the hose in, and suck out all the gasoline inside. Then the car will run out of gas, right? If it runs out of gas, it will stop running!"
George's expression darkened:
"Don't bother. Bullets can do the same thing."
After the report, the commissioner of the New York Police Department knew that the driver was Carter. Without further ado, he immediately began to mobilize the police to evacuate the traffic ahead.
Holding the steering wheel tightly, Nick said nothing and just accelerated.
The agent's intuition has saved Nick more than once, but now Nick feels more and more in danger.
Conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy against him.
The enemy has sabotaged the systems in his car, disabled his brakes and signal jammers, and disabled his artificial intelligence. Now he is in great danger.
Nick was racking his brains, thinking of a way out of his current predicament, when George drove up to his side.
Through the car window, George saw the disgusting face.
"It's you! I remember you, you're the black man named Nig! It turns out you're in the same group as Cage, you were also involved in the kidnapping!"
Nick's car hit the corner and Hammer said:
"That's right! These guys are so crazy. I was here when I woke up. Tell him to stop the car. I can't breathe."
Nick stepped on the accelerator and his car accelerated again.
Although the gears, brakes and other parts are broken, at least the accelerator still works.
Hammer laid his head down, tilted his head and looked at Carter who was driving seriously, a tear of despair rolled down his eyes.
"Be careful! There is a herd of cattle ahead, and our police officers are driving them away!"
After receiving this news, everyone's expression changed.
Sure enough, after the vehicle drove forward for a while, everyone saw several cattle chasing the police.
But this is not India. Where do all these cows come from on the roads in New York?
Fortunately, because the police attracted the herd of cattle, a gap large enough for people to pass through was left in the road.
only--
With a "puff", the wheels of Carter's car rolled over the cow dung, and then Nick and Hammer's faces turned green.
You know, Nick was driving with the windows open the whole time, and he never thought that he would encounter such a sudden disaster.
Only Stark secretly felt lucky that it was Carter who crushed the cow dung, otherwise he might have been in trouble.
Finally, Happy appeared in Stark's sight driving a Stark sports car, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
As a future member of the Avengers, Happy's superpowers allowed him to back up into a parking space, so his driving skills were very steady and the sports car was driving very fast, and soon he caught up with Stark.
Stark's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Happy who opened the car window and looked at him.
"what……"
"Hey! Friend, have you seen Tony Stark?" With a dangerous look on his face, Happy asked Stark in a friendly manner.
It also made the smile on Stark's face freeze a little.
"Happy!" Pepper, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stuck her head out of the car window and said:
"That's Tony."
"What!" Happy was shocked. "That's impossible! I'm Stark's personal bodyguard, how could I not know Tony?!"
Happy looked Stark up and down again and said with certainty:
"Excuse me, Pepper, you got the wrong person. This person is definitely not Tony. I am willing to bet on my dignity as an ace bodyguard."
