Chapter 222 Aerial Chase

"Oh! Shit! I'm in trouble now!" Rhodes looked at Tony resentfully. He still remembered how he explained it to the news media at that time.

Now, he had a feeling that the truth about the F-22 crash would be exposed! Those reporters would definitely come to him.

"Hey! I've already compensated for that F-22!" Tony knew what Rhodes was thinking as soon as he saw the look in his eyes. He was also helpless. At that time, he had not planned to reveal his identity.

That's why he asked Rhodes to help him conceal the past. He didn't expect that after so much time, it was exposed by Tianmu.

"It's not that question! Tony! I..." Rhodes hesitated and didn't know what to say!

That accident caused some people inside the air force base to be ridiculed for a long time. Fortunately, Tony was both a super rich man and had the halo of a savior, so it was not a big problem.

But he might be in trouble...

People looking at the sky guessed that it was Tony Stark, and sure enough, what happened next was just as they expected.

[The UFO found at the air force base turned out to be Tony wearing the Mark II, flying at high speed.]

[Rhode walked to the command room. The supervisor took off his glasses when he saw Rhode coming in and looked at him and said:]

[“We have authenticated! We have also searched all known databases, and found nothing!!!”]

[After hearing this, Rhodes asked the sergeant: "Is there any high-altitude reconnaissance means in the area?"]

[“There is an airborne warning system and a Global Hawk drone!” the sergeant immediately replied to Rhodes.]

[“Did this thing appear out of nowhere? Why didn’t the radar show it?” Rhodes looked at everyone with dissatisfaction.]

[A soldier immediately explained to him: "His radar cross-section is extremely small! Sir!"]

[After hearing this, Rhodes immediately said: "Is it a stealth plane?"]

[“NO! Sir! Based on the size, we think it might be a drone!” Another soldier immediately rejected Rhodes’ idea.]

[“Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do?” The supervisor looked serious. This was not a good thing for him!]

[Rod thought for a moment and decided to ask Tony, "I'll make a call!"]

[Tony, who was flying in the air, received a call from Rod, "Hello?"]

[“Tony! I’m Rod!”]

[“Sorry! Who is this?” The wind was too strong and Tony couldn’t hear clearly. ]

[“I said I’m Rhodes!” Rhodes repeated again.]

【“Please speak louder!” Tony still couldn’t hear clearly. 】

[Rhode raised his voice in confusion: "Why is there such a loud noise?"]

【“Oh! Yeah! I’m driving a convertible!” Tony immediately thought of an excuse to get away with it. 】

[“Okay! I want to ask you for a favor!” Rhodes did not suspect anything and directly stated his purpose. ]

[“I didn’t expect you would beg me!” Tony was very surprised. ]

[“Yeah! I didn’t expect that! One of our arsenals exploded, not far from where you were originally detained!”]

[Although there was no direct connection, Rhodes still instinctively thought of Tony, because with his personality, he would do such a thing.]

[“That’s a hotspot! Looks like someone is helping you consume your munitions!” Tony teased Rhodes.]

[“Why do you seem to be out of breath? Tony!” Rhodes felt that Tony was very strange today.]

[“No! I was jogging in the canyon!” Tony immediately thought of another lame lie to try to cover it up.]

【“You just said you were driving!!!” Rhodes felt something was wrong. 】

[“I was driving to the canyon just now, and now I’m jogging in the canyon!” Tony made up a lie, and he needed another lie to cover it up.]

[“Are you sure you don’t have any new technology to tell me?” Rhodes said, looking at the screen.]

[“No!” Tony denied it without hesitation. He didn’t want to be known.]

[“Sir, we’ve found the target!” As the two were talking, the command room had already spotted Tony.]

[“Prepare the Divine Whip to intercept!” The supervisor immediately gave the order! ]

[“That’s good! We found a UFO and are planning to shoot it down!”]

[As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Tony on the other end of the phone found that there were two F-22s following him.]

[“I should get off the highway!” Tony said as he hung up the phone in a hurry, then turned around.]

[Two F-22s were chasing closely. Whip 1 locked onto Tony. Rhodes immediately asked, "Whip 1! What is that?"]

[“I’m not sure either!”]

[“Have you contacted it?” the supervisor asked the pilot.]

[“The other party is not responding! Sir!”]

[After hearing the pilot's reply, the supervisor said directly: "You can attack!"]

[Tony, who was still flying, didn't know that he was on the kill list of the Air Force base, and he was still trying to get rid of them.]

[“Start!!!” Tony shouted, and the thrusters immediately opened up to full power, instantly breaking through the supersonic speed, and began to move away from the F-22 at an extremely fast speed.]

[“The target starts to fly at supersonic speed! I’ve locked onto it!” Whip No. 1 immediately launched an attack on Tony.]

[An air-to-air missile was shot out from the belly of the plane, catching up with Tony at a faster speed.]

[Jarvis immediately detected it, "There's a Sidewinder missile!"]

[“Flare!!!” Following Tony’s command, a large number of heat interference sources popped out from the side of the armor, and the Sidewinder missiles were immediately interfered and exploded.]

[The shock wave of the explosion pushed Tony downwards involuntarily. The pilot behind him saw this and immediately reported: "Wait a minute, the target is using jammers!"]

[Then he avoided the explosion and flame area and continued to chase Tony.]

[Tony tumbled in the air and did free fall. It took him a lot of effort to restart the thrusters that were affected by the aftermath of the explosion.]

[He immediately accelerated and continued to flee. One of the F-22s locked onto Tony and started firing with its onboard machine gun. Tony quickly dodged to the side.]

[But unfortunately, he was hit by several bullets. Tony was quick-witted and pushed his hands forward to brake in the air. "Wait! Look there!"]

[The two F-22s immediately made an emergency evasive move. When they turned back, Tony had disappeared without a trace.]

[“The target suddenly disappeared from the radar! Sir!”]

[“Satellite image loses target!” The soldiers immediately began to report the situation. ]

[“It can’t be a drone!!!” a pilot said with certainty. ]

[“What is that?” the supervisor asked.]

【“I can’t see it!” Pilot No. 1 kept looking around, but still couldn’t find any trace of Tony. 】

[The pilot of Whip 2 said: "Whatever it was, it's gone!". ]
