At 8:30, Miami finally left the Suns' care.
The last faint red light in the sky struggled for less than a minute before disappearing completely.
The whole city entered the nightlife time with bright lights.
There are still countless people partying on the beach, outside, on rooftops, and on yachts.
Luke, who was flying quietly in the air, looked at this place and exclaimed: What a big chive field.
It seems that after this is done, the first-level clone will have to play here for a while.
Retracting his thoughts, Luke looked down and scanned the targets parked at the port.
Not to mention the desperate soldiers who don't have a body temperature higher than normal, even ordinary people don't have it.
Luke only left two drones as a precautionary monitoring measure and flew towards the second target.
Before he even arrived, Tony sent a message: "I don't have any here."
Luke: "Then there is only this southernmost target."
Tony: "I'll be right there."
Five minutes later, Luke and the other man looked at an oil tanker in the port southeast of Florida City and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tony muttered, "Got you guys."
On the tanker, one can easily spot four or five desperate soldiers whose body temperatures are clearly higher than those of normal people.
At this moment, a beam of flame came from the northern sky and landed on the deck with a "duang". The shiny armor with a blue background, red and white colors was none other than the treasure of a certain talkative machine - the Iron Patriot.
Killian appeared a moment later and opened it remotely, and an Extremis soldier grabbed the person inside.
Seeing this man's face, Luke couldn't help but smack his lips, and glanced at Tony beside him: "This armor... emm is not pure anymore, right?"
Tony's face darkened immediately.
Because the person coming out is... Ellis, the new number one in the White House.
Iron Patriot also has no procedures for being operated without human intervention, so it must have been someone captured by Killian's men while wearing it on the plane, so Mr. Ellis is at least the third person to "favor" it.
At this time, a call came in from Tony: "What's the matter?"
Rod: "Tony, something serious has happened. Killian's men are wearing Patriot uniforms and impersonating me to capture Mr. Ellis."
Tony: “… Got it.”
Rhodes: "Oh, by the way, can you hack into the backend of the war machine and get it back?"
Tony thought for a moment and said, "Hacking in was outdated ten years ago. I need the satellite channel for external communication, so that I can get into the system backend. By the way, the account is Gears of War 68, right? What's the password?"
Rhode was silent for a moment. "War machine bull than flash (War machine bull than flash) with an X, all capital letters."
Tony: "Ha, that sounds much better than that Patriot."
Rod: (︶︹︺)
Luke was nearby, and waited until Tony finished the call before asking, "What's wrong?"
Tony: "Rod told me that Killian's men took Ellis away wearing Iron Patriots."
Luke turned his head to look at the White House boss who was being pulled by Killian on the tanker and talking while walking: "... Then what?"
Tony hesitated, but still didn't tell Rhodes about his request.
It was one thing for him to mock Rhodes, but it was inappropriate to make fun of Rhodes's request for help: "Let me see if I can control the war machine."
Luke hummed.
If it can be controlled, it will be like having an extra backup plan.
Even if it can't help, it can be made to fly away when the fight begins. It would be quite troublesome if it were broken.
Wasting money is nothing. The key point is that Colonel Rhodes already knows that his "wife" has been repeatedly voted out.
If this "first wife" ended up with a torn corpse, the colonel would probably suffer from PTSD on the spot.
So, the two of them watched silently from a distance high in the sky, with no intention of rescuing Mr. Ellis.
Only a large number of micro-drones quietly sneaked into the docks and oil tankers from both the ground and the air and began to deploy control.
On the tanker, Killian was looking at Mr. Ellis with a smile on his face: "Do you know where this is?"
Ellis hesitated and asked tentatively: "Miami?"
Killian smiled and patted his shoulder. "You're very humorous, Ellis. But I'm talking about this ship - the Knock, remember?"
A flash of memory flashed in Ellis's eyes, and then his expression became subtle.
"Yes, it was this one that leaked one million gallons of crude oil in the Gulf of Northwest Florida two years ago." Killian explained slowly, like a persuasive teacher: "And until now, no one has paid the price for it. It's all because of you."
He stood still and said, "You helped those people escape their guilt, so you ended up in the White House."
Ellis moved his lips a few times, but had nothing to say.
The person opposite is a supporter of the party, not the ignorant people in front of the TV.
It doesn't matter what others think, as long as you feel it yourself.
Killian looked at his brother's expression and smiled even more happily: "Haha, don't worry. I just found this excuse to make your death seem more like a real death."
In fact, Killian also knew which faction of Roxxon Company Ellis was cleaning up for, because Killian was from the other faction.
Therefore, this was an internal fight within the Roxxon Company carried out in the name of Kongbu.
Killian was an executor who took the opportunity to settle his personal grudge and kill Iron Man.
Although he failed to kill Iron Man, Ellis still had to send him to heaven as planned.
After all, as long as this big brother is alive, the backup big brother who colludes with Killian is just a decoration and has basically no power.
If Ellis dies unexpectedly, the backup will be able to temporarily exercise the rights of the number one president until a new president is elected.
Ellis has only been in office for about half a year. If the backup is capable, there is a certain chance that he will sit until the next election in four years.
Even if his ability is a little bit worse, sitting for a year or two can bring great benefits to Killian and the people behind him.
This destined temporary job has the right not to expire, so you don't have to be too shameless when doing the work.
The standard procedure is to eat everything, shoot the pig and leave.
Not to mention anything else, just the death of Ellis and the coming of the backup to release an unreliable image and scare the whole world would allow Killian to make a fortune in the financial market.
If there is another financial crisis, I will definitely become rich overnight.
Killian was delighted and raised his hand to wave, "Come on, raise our American soul."
Ellis was still confused when he was taken away by two desperate soldiers.
A moment later, the White House boss was tied above the deck of the Knock in classic Giga style.
Several desperate soldiers drove a forklift and brought a large pile of oil drums and piled them at his feet - this was the fuel to send Yi Ge to heaven.
Tony also stopped. "War Machine's communication system is completely destroyed, and the control system is also being reloaded. Well, we're not really going to wait until Ellis is roasted before we take action, are we?"
If that's the case, then they'd better pretend they've never been here.
Otherwise, they will definitely be blamed for the conspiracy to murder the head of the White House.
Luke: "Alright, the drone reconnaissance is complete, and our teammates are here, let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony received an invitation to join the team.
