Chapter 1108 Strike

Shortly after the UFO disappeared, while the world was still in an uproar, a humanoid Iron Man was flying rapidly in the skies above Washington, D.C. Suddenly, it slowed down, and after a moment, a small toy plane caught up with it.

From the small toy plane, a phantom creature with electric sparks suddenly emerged, opening its mouth and saying, "Master, you've arrived."

The person flying in the Iron Man armor was none other than Su Jing. During this period, the talents under Su Jing's command had successfully cracked the Iron Man armor's system, so now the armor only responded to Su Jing's commands.

"I'm still not proficient with this suit. To avoid large-scale conflicts and unnecessary casualties, let's coordinate together," Su Jing said. With Iron Man and the Lightning Stand working together, it would be a nightmare for any country.

"Alright." The phantom creature flashed and entered the Iron Man armor. As a Lightning Stand, it could inhabit any place with electricity.

"The U.S. radar might detect us at any moment. Be prepared for combat," Su Jing said and suddenly accelerated going past the speed of sound and the sound of a sonic boom echoed in the air.

At Phuket Sea Bay, Lewis-McChord Joint Base, the joint base was formed by the merger of the Lewisburg Army Base and McChord Air Force Base in January 2010.

The base served as a training and mobilization center for all branches of the military. It was also home to the 1st Special Forces Group, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 6th Military Police Group, the 189th Infantry Brigade, the 404th Army Field Support Brigade, and other such units.

At this moment, tension suddenly filled the base as the airborne warning and control system and the Global Hawk covered the entire area. Radar detected the presence of an unidentified flying object in the airspace, rapidly approaching their base.

"What is this?"

"It's small in size, should be a drone, and it's definitely not from our side."

"Try to establish radio contact with it."

"No response."

"Shoot it down."

Several fighter jets immediately took off to intercept the unidentified flying object in the air. After a while, the planes encountered Iron Man in the sky. They were still too far away to see Iron Man clearly, but they had locked onto the target and launched missiles directly.

However, before the missiles could hit their target, they were intercepted by the opponent's missiles and exploded in mid-air. In a brief exchange, the two sides drew closer.

"What the hell is that?"

"Am I seeing things? It looks like a person."

"This... It's just like Iron Man from those movies."

The pilots of the fighter jets were dumbfounded, and the people in the military base's surveillance room were equally perplexed by the voices they heard.

"It's not a drone?"

"Iron Man? What nonsense are you guys talking about?"

"It's true, the unidentified object looks like Iron Man from the movies." One of the pilots said, and suddenly, an explosion was heard. One fighter jet had been attacked, with one wing destroyed and plummeting to the ground. The pilot ejected and opened the parachute.

"I don't care what it is, shoot it down," The base officer said.

The aerial battle began again, but in terms of speed, agility, weapon power, and durability, they were not on the same level at all. 

To put it bluntly, when fighter jets attacked Iron Man, they would only cause minor damage to it, while Iron Man's attacks would completely destroy the fighter jets. In less than half a minute, several fighter jets were destroyed.

Next, Iron Man appeared directly above the military base. The surveillance cameras at the base, and even the people looking up, could clearly see the appearance of Iron Man.

"My goodness, it's really Iron Man."

"How is this possible? Am I dreaming?"

"If it's really Iron Man, then it should be from our side, the United States. Why would it attack our fighter jets?"

"Now it's the enemy, shoot it down."

Undoubtedly, Iron Man's combat power was extremely terrifying. One Iron Man was enough to inflict heavy damage on a military base. However, directly intruding into a military base like this and facing powerful military forces also posed great danger to it. 

There was a possibility of being shot down. Of course, even if a UFO entered, there would still be risks, as the protective shield was not invincible.

However, Su Jing had no intention of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with them. Luo Qilin's Lightning Stand had already entered the military base, and sounds of explosions and burnt equipment could be heard as various electrified areas were destroyed. 

At the same time, Su Jing controlled Iron Man to launch attacks on the base.

Next, it was a complete one-sided slaughter. Su Jing wasn't a butcher, so he tried not to attack areas with people and focused on destroying weapons and equipment. In a short time, the entire military base was reduced to ruins.

The news quickly reached the White House, and military forces across the United States entered the highest state of alert. Surprisingly, there was a panoramic video captured and spread online.

Across America and the world, there was an immediate uproar.

"Oh my goodness, Iron Man? Is this a movie being filmed?"

"The problem is, this isn't a movie. A military base in the United States, Lewis-McChord Joint Base, has truly been destroyed."

"Damn it, what's going on? Some country has actually developed Iron Man. This is way too cool."

"It's absolutely mind-blowing. After watching Iron Man, I've always dreamed of having my own Iron Man suit. I never thought it would become a reality."

American citizens:

"What's happening? Iron Man actually exists in reality."

"Even if there's Iron Man, it should be on our side. How could it attack the U.S. military?"

"I've always dreamed that one day Iron Man would exist in reality. Now it appears, but it's on the enemy's side. How is this possible?"

Chinese Internet users:

"Iron Man, it's the real Iron Man."

"And it's an Iron Man that destroyed a U.S. military base. Well done."

"This Iron Man has done exactly what I've always wanted to do."

"So cool!"

"Have you noticed that the United States has been having a string of bad luck lately?"

"Haha, what kind of karma did the United States create? Leaked CIA secrets, attacked by UFOs, attacked by Iron Man—so many near-impossible things happening one after another."

"I feel like the United States has provoked some mysterious force."

The whole world was going crazy with discussions. Governments and people from all countries were paying close attention to it, while the United States faced the greatest pressure it had ever experienced.
