But Tony knew more than the others.

For example, the bigshot who sold everything might be Batmans butler; he had even addressed the latter as Young Master Bruce in front of Tony.

Of course, that was deliberate.

Rather than let the tyc.o.o.n make random guesses, it was better to lead him in the wrong direction so that he wouldnt uncover the truth.

It was also because of this that the tyc.o.o.n found it even stranger. Why did that butler Pennyworth have to take action? Could it be that this old butler finally wanted to turn into a knight butler?

Thinking that, Tony couldnt help but recall the bigshots behavior. Em, he actually looked more like a hidden villain!

Luke didnt go into detail.

Before the baby mount arrived, he had nothing concrete to show for his words.

Once the giant octopus appeared, Tony would definitely want to study it.

Luke wouldnt let anyone else touch it, and he didnt trust most government people.

Tony, who was a semi-government official, or rather, was an official slash superhero, was the only suitable candidate.

Besides, it was such a big surprise that Luke didnt want to tell Tony what it was beforehand.

The government would definitely treat the baby mount like an evil monster and bombard it, which would be a pain in the a.s.s.

Tony asked a few questions, but didnt get any other useful information, so he stopped.

Luke threw half the cheeseburgers into his inventory and then took it out for Selina and the dog head in New York.

Gold Nugget No. 2 had been following the Level 1 clone around for the past two days and hadnt had time to eat cheeseburgers. This could be considered its compensation.

As dawn broke, the wind blew more fiercely and the rain fell more heavily. It was only seven to eight degrees Celsius outside.

Most of the red Golden Gate Bridge was obscured by the rain.

But Luke knew that there were very few cars on the bridge.

That was because many radio stations had issued traffic warnings that there might be a storm, and that it would be risky to drive on the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was just a casual remark, but that could stop most people who didnt need to do so from crossing the bridge.

It was the external agencies under the PDD that had contacted the radio stations.

The money which Luke had spent on this wasnt much.

With money, he could do whatever he wanted.

As long as it was used properly, it could affect the lives of many ordinary people, even just a little.

At eleven in the morning, he received an urgent notification: The Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona had been attacked by a bat-winged monster.

Looking at the surveillance images, Luke narrowed his eyes. That was right, it was this monster.

It had a pair of huge bat wings, dark red eyes, and a head that looked a little like a bats. However, it was hairless all over, and had a smooth, metal-like body.

It had four forelimbs which ended in hooks and two twisted-looking back limbs. It was relatively slender and looked a little like an arthropod.

Comparing it with its surroundings, Luke estimated that it was about 70 meters tall.

This piece of news was very important, but more importantly, the power station was close to the California-Arizona border, and was only 300 kilometers away from San Francisco.

After attacking the power station, the monster flew northwest at an extremely fast speed.

Arizona was a vast but spa.r.s.ely populated region. It had already been 15 minutes since the attack.

What was even more troublesome was that the weather was bad today, and the satellite images were heavily obscured by clouds.

There seemed to be something strange about the monster. The radar didnt lock onto it even though it was so huge.

Tonys voice suddenly came out of the Mark suit next to him. Is this the big monster you were talking about?

Congratulations, you got it right. The clone stood up. With a wave of its hand, the Big Dipper Armor, which had been hidden in the trees, flew over.

Luke stepped into the armor.

With a rustle, the armor quickly closed up.

Luke waved his hand a second time.

A set of gear flew out of the bushes and hit the back of the armor.

With a screech of metal, the three-meter-tall Big Dipper suit appeared.

Tony snorted. Cant you get a technician to modify the attachment process? Must you be so crude? Theres no sense of art at all!

The Big Dipper clone glanced at him and slowly raised a fist. As long as I can win, thats pretty enough!

Looking at the fist that was the size of a water jar, Tony snorted. Hey, is my Veronica not as big?

Big Dipper said, It definitely gets beaten up more times than me.

Tony:

Motherf*cker!

After exchanging a few words, he suddenly said, Wait, I just discovered something interesting. He sent the data over.

Luke looked at the data on the virtual screen. A series of red dots marked out a route from the east side of Los Angeles toward San Francisco.

Tony knew that the bat-winged monster was headed toward San Francisco, but this map which he had generated was of towns that had experienced unusual abnormalities with large-scale equipment.

Luke frowned. EMP?

Tony said, Thats right. I just received some information from the power plant. When this guy appeared, it released a very strong EMP with a radius of about ten kilometers.

Looking at the EMP data, Luke took a deep breath. Thats very strong. Most missiles will have problems in this range.

This meant that it was impossible to kill the monster with ordinary missiles.

Tony said, Our comms might be affected to some extent.

Luke said, Let Bruce know; hell switch to the mental link for all the internal channels.

Tony said, Already done. Im just warning you, our armor and weapons may be hugely affected. Dont fall mid-flight.

Luke: Pfft.

In just a few words, this major discovery was conveyed to all partic.i.p.ants.

But the only thing that the team members could do was raise their guard; it was useless for San Francisco itself.

Once that bat-winged monster arrived, there would be no way to guard against it.

Suddenly, Luke saw two incoming fighter plane signals from Edwards Air Force Base.

Two minutes later, they disappeared from the radar.

Half a minute later, Tony said, Edwards sent two F22s to investigate, but they crashed before they could get close.

Luke found that odd. You didnt let them know?

Tony said, I did, but they probably thought I was talking nonsense. After all, those old coots cant wrap their heads around the idea of a giant bat-winged monster with an EMP ability.

Luke couldnt say anything in response.

What the government knew was different from what ordinary people knew.

Perhaps they had specially sent out the two F22s to test the bat-winged monsters EMP.

This had nothing to do with stupidity.

Any losses would be borne by the government, and wouldnt necessarily fall on any particular government honchos head.
