"Are you really going back to America?"
Ivan Vanko asked.
"Of course, half of the responsibility for the current situation in the United States lies with me, and I have to do something."
Tony Stark said.
After a short period of cooperation, the hatred between the two of them was gone with the wind and they reached a reconciliation with each other.
Most of North America has fallen into chaos and has completely lost order. Only a few large cities on the west coast can barely maintain stability. Tony Stark collected a lot of information on the Internet through Jarvis.
He was heartbroken when he saw the tragic scenes of ordinary people being helpless in the face of disasters and could not sleep at night.
After a large number of congressmen and business owners simply abandoned the United States and fled to Europe, the sophisticated American state machine fell into a semi-paralyzed state.
A speck of dust from the times, when it falls on a person's head, is like a mountain. In this short period of less than a month, countless American citizens died quietly without causing any ripples.
Not long after, Pai Pao drove the Cybertron container ship and slowly landed on the ground. The ship was neatly loaded with rows of aluminum alloy boxes.
Inside the box are the powered exoskeletons developed by Tony Stark, Ivan Vanko and Optimus Prime.
The reason why Tony Stark stayed in New Wakanda until now was to wait for the completion of this batch of powered exoskeletons.
The industrial production capacity of the United States has been almost paralyzed. Even if Stark Industries still has several factories that have not been destroyed, it is difficult to start production immediately due to factors such as raw materials, energy and workers.
Therefore, he directly took out a loan to order this batch of powered exoskeletons, and then went to North America to try to restore production capacity.
"Mr. Stark, we can go now."
Pai Pao said while sitting in the cockpit.
"Okay, thank Optimus for me."
Tony Stark said. Although Broly never cared much about these trivial matters, Optimus Prime played a significant role in the successful conclusion of the transaction.
After he got on the spaceship, he looked at Pepper with complicated eyes.
"Pepper..."
Tony Stark wants Pepper to stay in the safer New Wakanda. With Broly here, there will be almost no accidents.
"No, Tony, I'll go wherever you go."
Pepper said firmly. Tony Stark knew that once she really made a decision, no one could change it, so he could only smile bitterly and nodded.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Pepper onto the container ship, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
Ivan Vanko suddenly felt very sour.
The container ship took off and disappeared into the sky almost instantly. Not long after, the ship arrived at its destination, Los Angeles, California.
The entire city of Los Angeles is already overcrowded. The once bustling streets are now filled with homeless dwellings made of tents or cardboard boxes.
Because of the threat of demonic beasts, people from surrounding areas poured into Los Angeles like a tide, overwhelming the city far beyond its capacity.
People died of hunger and disease every moment, but they never left Los Angeles because those demonic beasts were far more terrifying than hunger and disease.
But the main force of the US military was held back in Washington by the demons and was completely unable to provide support here.
Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard on the street.
"Bacha! Bacha is here to eat people again!"
In North America, where it is legal to keep tigers as pets, there are more than 10,000 tigers in private hands, which is more than the number of tigers in the wild.
In peacetime, these tigers are just pets that people can play with, but when the dark magic in the environment increases sharply, they are no longer so cute.
Bacha was a particularly ferocious individual among them. His shoulder height was over two meters. His fur had turned black under the influence of dark magic, and the stripes were glowing with a faint fluorescence.
That is a sign that the dark magic has become saturated.
It eats about 200 kilograms of meat a day. What better prey is there than humans
These humans have fed themselves to their heart's content, but have no ability to protect themselves. They can't even run fast. With just a slight pounce, their throats can be easily ripped open.
At first, Bacha was afraid of humans and only hunted secretly. But with repeated successes, it finally realized the weakness of humans and began to hunt openly, even daring to rush into the busy city to eat people.
The crowd panicked and trampled on each other. The militiamen who volunteered to pick up guns shot at Bacha, but the bullets landed on its thick fur and there was no reaction.
Bacha slapped the militiaman to the ground, and with a few crunches, it swallowed a strong man into its stomach. It ate a few more people before leaving with its heavy belly shaking.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky like a meteor.
Tony Stark, wearing a gold and red power armor, landed on the ground and stood in front of Bacha.
Bacha let out a roar and pounced on the power armor.
In its eyes, humans are such a weak species that they can only wait to be eaten if they pounce on them. Even if they are wearing steel armor, it will only make it more troublesome to eat them.
Tony Stark punched Bacha directly in the face, sending the huge tiger flying.
The two missile nests on the shoulders opened, and several missiles flew out and hit Bacha. There was a violent explosion, and the micro-missiles that were strong enough to penetrate the tank directly blew the entire giant tiger into pieces.
The citizens who were fleeing frantically stared at the scene in amazement, and those whose relatives and friends were eaten by Bacha burst into tears.
"Bacha is dead! Bacha is dead!"
Someone recognized Tony Stark's identity.
"It's Iron Man, it's Tony Stark!"
"We are safe!"
A cheer broke out among the crowd. They rushed towards Tony Stark like a tide. Some people were so excited that they fainted on the ground.
“MAGA! MAGA!”
Someone started shouting, and then everyone present began to shout in unison.
As American citizens, even in the worst times, they only lost their jobs due to the economic crisis, and they have never faced war and famine. The painful energy of this month almost broke everyone.
They desperately need a savior.
Tony Stark met their expectations perfectly.
Pepper on the container ship did not feel happy or proud at all, but rather a little worried.
She knew that everyone below now regarded Tony as their savior, but as long as Tony did not achieve what they wanted, the enthusiasm at this moment would turn into equally high anger.
