My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 619 I Don’t Think You’ve Invited Me to My Party

South Korea, U-GIN Genetics Research Laboratory, before the kidnapping incident -

"You promised to get the others out safely."

Zhao Hailun clenched her fists, her pretty face filled with anger, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ultron who was clamping her assistant's neck tightly in front of her.

"But you also saw that she was seeking death herself."

Ultron had no intention of letting go of his assistant, but he slightly relaxed the grip on his neck, allowing his face, which had turned red and purple, to relax a little.

Zhao Hailun glanced at the distress message on the ground that had been edited but not sent out in time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Let her go. This is none of her business. I asked her to do this."

Ultron stared at Zhao Hailun, his mechanical eyes emitting scarlet light, as if he could see through the true fear and determination in Zhao Hailun's heart.

"Is that so?"

Ultron turned back and questioned his assistant again.

At this moment, the assistant was being held in the air by Ultron like a chicken. Her face, which had turned slightly purple due to suffocation, had improved slightly, but her eyes were still full of fear and helplessness.

She turned her eyes with difficulty and looked at Zhao Hailun, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including fear of death, as well as apology and gratitude towards Zhao Hailun.

"Yes, it is……"

Ultron curled his lips upon hearing this and completely let go of his hand. The assistant, who lost his support, fell to the ground violently, coughing violently, as if trying to breathe all the air in his lungs back in.

Zhao Hailun was about to step forward to help when he saw this, but was immediately stopped by the iron puppet beside him.

"Need I remind you, Miss Helen, that my patience is actually very limited."

Ultron ignored the assistant who was still lying powerless on the ground and moved his mechanical fingers slightly. Every slight mechanical rotation seemed to declare irresistible power and cruel judgment.

“I really don’t want the same situation to happen again. After all, people can be responsible for the actions of others, but machines only follow established logic and instructions.

Miss Helen, you don’t seem to fully understand who is in control in this world woven of code and steel.”

Ultron's gaze once again focused on Zhao Hailun, and the scarlet light seemed to contain a deeper threat and unquestionable authority.

"I am certain."

Zhao Hailun answered expressionlessly.

"Well, I hope so."

An evil smile appeared on Ultron's mechanical face, and then he waved his hand to signal the puppets to send his assistant out.

"Send her away. Oh, by the way, remember to take good care of her for Miss Helen."

After the order was given, the other two iron puppets standing by the door immediately stepped forward, lifted up the assistant mercilessly regardless of her struggle, and walked out of the laboratory door without looking back.

"you--!"

Zhao Hailun wanted to say something else, but Ultron did not give her the chance to continue negotiating.

"Hmm? What, Doctor, do you think it's inappropriate? Then I can try a simpler and more convenient method, but..."

Ultron's evil smile was filled with a chilling sense of playfulness. He bent down to pick up the phone that had fallen on the ground, and in front of Dr. Zhao Hailun, he crushed it into scrap metal and threw it into the laboratory trash can.

"No need."

Watching his assistant disappear completely at the door of the laboratory, Zhao Hailun took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

She knew that if she wanted to compete with a powerful artificial intelligence like Ultron by herself, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Therefore, instead of wasting time on meaningless arguments, it is better to find more practical solutions.

"How long will it take for your materials to arrive? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Ultron smiled, and looked very proud, as if everything was under his control.

"Very good, this is what I was hoping to see, Doctor."

After a pause, Ultron turned his head slightly to look out the window, as if he was communicating with his other clones.

"Well, I have the materials. Although I encountered some troubles during the process, it does not affect the result."

Ultron was very satisfied with the current situation. Even though it had to pay some puppet bodies for it, this price was almost insignificant compared to its great plan.

It slowly walked to the regeneration cradle placed in the center of the laboratory, and reached out to touch the great container that was about to begin nurturing new life.

"Half of the plan is already completed, and the remaining half..."

Ultron raised his head and looked at Zhao Hailun.

"Miss Helen, since I just agreed to one of your conditions, now is it your turn to agree to one of mine?"

Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Hailun's face suddenly froze. At the same time, the voice in her mind quietly reminded her that she was falling deeper and deeper into Ultron's scheme.
-
On an urban expressway somewhere in Seoul, a seemingly ordinary off-road vehicle was speeding through traffic and heading towards Airport Road.

Zhao Hailun sat in the back seat of the SUV, silently allowing the steel puppet in the driver's seat to take him to an unknown place.

"Those self-righteous guys should have set out to rescue you by now."

The iron puppet beside him, whose eyes were emitting strange red light, said in a teasing tone.

"How is it, are you looking forward to it?"

Zhao Hailun didn't even turn his head when he heard this, but just stared blankly at the city scenery that was constantly receding outside the car window.

Ultron was not angry when he saw this. Instead, he chuckled. The laughter resonated through the metal, echoing in the car with a different kind of chill.

"That's good. Be fully prepared mentally so that those guys won't easily see through our tricks. You and your friends will be safe."

The face reflected in the car window changed slightly, and a hint of uneasiness and humiliation flashed across the originally indifferent expression.

However, the person beside her didn't care about her dissatisfaction at all, and just continued to mutter to himself:
"Laini Stark's ability is very special. Apart from her, the only person you need to worry about is Wanda Maximoff. She can see through people's minds, so you must never recall our deal in front of her, even including what I am telling you now."

There was a barely perceptible hint of regret in Ultron's voice.

"Then why are you still talking so much?"

Zhao Hailun snorted coldly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, while taking a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

She had to do this, just like Ultron had said before, Ultron fulfilled the conditions she proposed, and in return she had to do the conditions proposed by Ultron.

Even if this was not the result she wanted to see.

"Your choice is right." The voice in my heart sounded again.

"Although I can help you solve it, I can't prevent the more tragic consequences that will follow."

Zhao Hailun did not respond to the other party, but just emptied himself silently.

"She won't let your efforts go to waste, and she won't let you and your friends sacrifice for it. At least, as far as I know, she won't do that."

The voice continues.

"Oh, you really do care about her."

Zhao Hailun felt a little sad in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer coldly.

"Because she is special."

The voice became somewhat helpless, yet also somewhat doting.

"What about me? Do I deserve to be your puppet for no reason?"

The voice fell silent, and after a long while it sighed softly.

"You don't understand..."

Zhao Hailun was about to continue his sarcastic remarks, but the iron puppet beside him suddenly spoke at this moment.

"They're coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, a speeding motorcycle suddenly appeared diagonally behind the SUV.

He was wearing a tight black combat uniform and a black helmet. The dark protective lenses made it impossible to see the person inside, but from his beautiful posture, it could be seen that the person should be a woman.

Bang!
A dull collision sound came from the roof of the car. The man and two men in the car subconsciously looked up. The next second, a sharp sword light suddenly pierced down from the roof and pierced through the mechanical head of the steel puppet next to Zhao Hailun!

"what!"

Zhao Hailun exclaimed and instinctively moved his body closer to the car door, trying to avoid the sharp sword.

But before she realized that the person coming was actually saving her, the motorcycle that was speeding after the SUV had already accelerated and caught up with the side of the SUV.

Da da da!
A series of bullets were heard, and in an instant the driver's window glass was shattered by the dense bullets, and fragments flew everywhere.

Upon seeing this, the puppet driver immediately steered the vehicle hard, causing the SUV to suddenly spin and the heavy body of the vehicle to crash into the motorcycle next to it.

Zhao Hailun, who was sitting in the back seat, had no time to react. She was not wearing a seat belt and lost her balance instantly. Her body tilted to the side uncontrollably due to inertia. She waved her hands in the air, trying to grab something to steady herself.

squeak!
A sharp brake sound came from outside the car window. It turned out that the motorcycle braked suddenly to slow down in order to avoid the counterattack of the off-road vehicle. It just avoided this thrilling collision before the thick rear end of the off-road vehicle hit her.

But this sudden stop caused the rider on the motorcycle to lean forward and almost lose control of the vehicle.

In a hurry, the driver had to drop the submachine gun in his hand, allowing it to be adsorbed and fixed by the electromagnetic device of the car body. Then he quickly adjusted his posture, clamped the car body tightly with his legs, and held the handlebars tightly with both hands. Relying on his rich driving experience and strong physical fitness, he barely stabilized the car body.

"Be careful."

A teasing voice came from the driver's helmet, making the driver himself smile bitterly.

"You'd better take care of yourself."

Natasha retorted with a mocking remark. She had just seen clearly that when the car skidded, Lainie, who landed on the roof of the car, also swayed uncontrollably.

If it weren't for the help of the long sword in her hand, she would probably have been thrown out of the car by Ultron.

"Don't worry, it can't get rid of me."

The corners of Lainie's mouth curled up slightly, and she suddenly pulled out the sharp blade in her hand, making a pleasant sword chant.

Then he found the driving position of the off-road vehicle and stabbed the sword for the second time, heading straight for the head of the steel puppet below!

Stab it!

The sharp sword blade pierced through the roof of the SUV easily like a knife cutting through tofu, but the expected penetration did not occur.

The iron puppet suddenly turned its body at the critical moment, as if it had the ability to sense murderous intent, and Lainie's sword missed.

"Laini, I don't think I invited you to my party."

Ultron's voice came out from the mouth of the iron puppet. Without the obstruction of the car window glass, it was mixed in the whistling wind, making it a little difficult to hear clearly.

"We should reciprocate. We didn't send you an invitation letter at the beginning either."

Lainie stood crouching on the roof of the car, not caring about the traffic passing by, and not caring whether Ultron could hear her or not, and just responded with ridicule.

Ultron in the car did not respond, and it was not known whether he had heard what Lainie said at all, but judging from the red light flashing on the face of the iron puppet, it did not withdraw from the puppet.

Lainie didn't care what it was like. She suddenly shifted to the side. With a bang, a big hole was blasted out where Lainie's body was just now by the iron puppet.

"what!"

Zhao Hailun screamed in fear and tried to lower her body, fearing that she would be affected by the fight between the two.

Seeing that the attack failed, the iron puppet in the driver's seat did not pursue, but instead suddenly stepped on the brakes, trying to use the inertia caused by the sudden braking of the vehicle to throw Lainie off the roof of the car.

In a hurry, Lainie had to hold the blade tightly in her hand and let her body swing uncontrollably towards the hood.

Chi——!
Under the influence of inertia, the sharp blade cut a long slit on the roof of the car, until the lower end of the blade was stuck by the steering wheel, and Lainie's out-of-control body was barely stabilized.

However, at this moment, the iron puppet on the driving seat raised its mechanical arm again, and the plasma beam cannon that had been condensed long ago also blasted towards Lainie's body through the windshield!
If Lainie was hit by this cannon, at best she would be blown away, or at worst she would be pierced through the body by the cluster artillery and killed on the spot.

But at this critical moment, Zhao Hailun, who had been huddled in the back seat of the SUV, suddenly moved. She rushed to the gap in the middle of the front seat regardless of everything, and used both hands to desperately move the mechanical arm of the iron puppet, and successfully changed the direction of the muzzle before the cluster artillery was fired!
boom!
The dazzling, blazing beam of light instantly pierced through the windshield of the SUV, leaving a huge hole while almost brushing against Lainie's body and passing through the air around her.

From Lainie's perspective, when the cluster artillery missed the target, the Iron Puppet's originally fierce expression was visibly stunned.

It seemed that even it had not expected that the "hostage" it had kidnapped and screamed all the time would actually stand up at this moment.

But it was stunned, but Lainie was not stunned. She secretly praised Zhao Hailun and said, "Well done!"

Then he suddenly summoned a stream of light from a strange hand cannon with his right hand, with the muzzle pointing directly at the windshield. Before the iron puppet that came over could raise its other mechanical arm to fight back, the index finger hidden inside the hand cannon had already pulled the trigger!

Brilliant white light and fire burst out, and an extremely dazzling laser wave erupted with the force of thunder, instantly piercing through the windshield, accompanied by a sharp explosion, and directly hit the chest of the steel puppet.

Bang!
The body of the iron puppet shook uncontrollably. Having lost power, it finally lowered its head slowly. Before the strange red light dissipated, it saw a large charred hole on its chest that was still flickering with high-temperature embers.

"Laini... Stark..."
