"Phew. Finally, I’m alive again." Tony sprang up with a fish-like leap.
"Sir, it seems so!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded.
At the same moment, a beeping sound came from the door. It seemed someone was entering the code on the lock.
With a click, a graceful figure appeared before Zheng Xiaotian's eyes.
"Hey, Honey!" Tony opened his arms and walked towards Pepper.
Zheng Xiaotian slapped his forehead. He wanted to say, do you really know there's a dead body on your head that hasn't been dealt with?
"Did you change your taste?" Pepper pointed at Zheng Xiaotian and asked Tony. Now, she was a bit afraid of Tony. If he was just a playboy, it would be one thing. But if he was now interested in men, that would give her goosebumps.
"This is my renovation worker." Tony smiled.
"Renovation worker?" Pepper thought, do you think I’m easy to fool? Just because someone has big breasts, does it mean they’re stupid? This guy looks so delicate; can he even carry a gas canister or a fridge?
"Indeed, a renovation worker." Tony nodded.
"Alright, a renovation worker!" Pepper nodded.
"By the way, you. If you have nothing else, you can leave now. There are no cars outside, and I’m not really willing to drive you. Just take any car from the garage." Tony said to Zheng Xiaotian with a generous tone.
Zheng Xiaotian was frustrated. As someone without an ID, where would he sleep, in a car? If he wanted to go back to the base, he didn’t even remember the way. Was this how a good boss treated his employees?
"What are you waiting for? Go drive." Tony said to Zheng Xiaotian.
"I feel deeply blessed to have a boss like you." Zheng Xiaotian said to Tony.
"Thank you!" Tony smiled.
Zheng Xiaotian really wanted to hit him with an air punch. Thanks? Did he have the nerve to say thanks?
Zheng Xiaotian walked towards the garage. But when his eyes fell on the surveillance screen, he saw something that looked like a comet. He remembered a scene from Iron Man. Was this a missile attack?
"Boss, what’s that?" Zheng Xiaotian pointed at the screen, pretending not to know.
"Hmm?" Tony looked at the screen.
With a loud boom, a rocket hit the villa.
Crash! The sound of shattering glass followed.
Tony waved his right hand. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the iron armor shot over and immediately covered Pepper’s body. As the final mask covered her face, Pepper was fully armored.
A terrifying shockwave swept over the three of them.
Zheng Xiaotian wanted to say, you really prioritize women over everything. Give me one too, and I can complete my mission and go home, no more playing with you.
Bang, bang, bang. Iron Pepper, armorless Tony, and Zheng Xiaotian were all thrown against the wall.
At this moment, Zheng Xiaotian even wondered if his bones were broken. Damn, this was a level of impact he had never felt in Deadman. It was terrifying!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Two armed helicopters approached the villa.
On both sides of the helicopters, the doors opened, revealing heavy rocket launchers.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The rocket launchers fired, and the rockets with long tails swept towards the villa.
On the second floor of the villa, a brick fell towards Tony.
Whoosh!
"I’ll take it!" Zheng Xiaotian suddenly appeared in front of Tony, his right fist clenched, and he punched the brick.
Bang!
Whoosh!
The brick, hit by Zheng Xiaotian, shot out of the villa.
As the rockets shot towards the villa, the brick also shot towards the helicopters. Next, the brick took down two helicopters. Of course, that’s not the main point, but we won’t go into it.
"Martial arts?" Tony looked at Zheng Xiaotian.
"You only think of women in critical moments. Only I still think of you. I really regret saving you." Zheng Xiaotian said, unable to hold back his anger.
"Hey, we’re good buddies, who’s with who?" Tony said.
At the same time, the rockets had already swept towards the villa.
Boom, boom, boom!
The shockwave immediately threw Zheng Xiaotian, Tony, and Pepper into the air.
The villa was attacked again. If this were a shoddy construction, the first rocket would have destroyed it. After four rockets, the villa was still standing. It had to be said, the quality of the villa was excellent.
On the contrary, in the sky outside the villa, with a loud boom, one of the armed helicopters exploded. The explosion immediately swept towards the two nearby helicopters. One, which was closer, had its rocket storage hit and exploded. The other helicopter, which was faster, managed to escape.
Zheng Xiaotian probably wouldn’t have thought that his brick would have a story with two helicopters. Sometimes, a brick can be terrifying.
At this moment, Pepper had already stood up. However, a gap separated her from Tony and Zheng Xiaotian. It was created by the explosion.
"Go, don’t worry about me!" Tony waved his hand at Iron Pepper.
"You must live. I have evidence of many mistresses, and I haven’t finished with you yet." Pepper pointed at Tony. She knew she was a burden to him. The iron armor on her body had become a shield. But on him, it would become a nightmare weapon for the enemy. She was a liability. Thinking of this, she ran towards the door. If she wasn’t there, there would be no burden.
A new wave of rockets was coming.
Zheng Xiaotian and Tony were both in the line of fire, facing grave danger.
"Summon the armor!" Zheng Xiaotian shouted at Tony.
"There’s only one set!" Tony said, somewhat painfully.
"Damn, you really are selfless. You’d give the only set to her?" Zheng Xiaotian was speechless.
"Sir, Pepper is safe outside." A voice appeared out of nowhere.
Tony’s hands suddenly clasped together. He shouted, "Transform!"
