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

Chapter 620 Highway Chase!
"You did a good job just now."

Lainie looked at Dr. Zhao Hailun who pushed open the door from the back seat of the SUV and praised him with a chuckle.

The latter staggered a few steps and held on to the car door for a while before he was able to support his body with his still weak legs.

Zhao Hailun did not respond to Lainie's praise, but pointed in the direction of the laboratory and said to Lainie in a still breathless voice:

"Ultron, Ultron has taken away the regeneration cradle. You, you must stop it as soon as possible. It wants to use the cradle to build a body for itself, and it has also held my assistant hostage..."

Lainie smiled slightly when she heard this, and did not show obvious panic as Zhao Hailun expected.

"Don't worry, Tony and the others have already rushed over and are now trying to take back the regeneration cradle. As for your assistant, Skye..."

Lainie reached out and pressed the communicator at her ear.

"We've noticed them. Sif and I will chase after them right away!"

Skye responded on the communication channel, her eyes fixed on the Hyundai sedan on the other side of the street that was heading towards their intersection.

However, before Sky could start the car, the Hyundai sedan coming from the opposite direction seemed to have received a warning from someone. It suddenly changed direction, ignored the red light at the intersection, and ran away along another road through the traffic!
"Come on!"

Seeing this, Sif's face changed. It was not difficult to guess that their actions must have been exposed.

Upon hearing this, Skye didn't say anything more. He used his hands and feet to quickly start the car. The tires made a sharp hissing sound as they rubbed against the ground. The car shot out like an arrow and chased after the target.

The scenery on both sides of the street passed by quickly in front of their eyes, as if it had become a blurred background. Skye stared at the taillights of the Hyundai sedan in front of her, completely regarding it as the only focus of this chase.

The wind whistled in my ears, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually left behind, and only two cars were left chasing each other fiercely in the intricate streets.

Skye's eyes were firm and cold. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Every turn was precise, as if she was one with the car.

However, as a robot, the other party's driving skills and vehicle performance are not inferior to the pursuit vehicles they drive, and they are even more adept at certain extreme operations.

The taillights of the Hyundai sedan flickered in the night like a cunning fox. Despite the relentless pursuit of Skye and Sif, the Hyundai sedan always seemed to find a gap to escape. Every lane change and every acceleration was just right, as if there were a pair of invisible eyes guiding it from behind.

Skye frowned, secretly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind. She knew that this was not a solution. The other party had the assistance of artificial intelligence. Even if she stepped on the accelerator of the SUV under her and started the engine, she was afraid that she would find it difficult to catch up.

"This is not a solution, Natasha, come and help us!"

Seeing that the distance between him and the opponent was not getting closer, but was being left further and further behind, Skye gritted his teeth, gave up the stubborn attitude, and called for support directly.

"On the way."

Natasha's usual calm and confident voice came from the communication channel. Then she suddenly lowered her body sideways, controlled the motorcycle to quickly lean toward the ground, and drove at high speed into the exit of a 5-turn elevated expressway in front of her in an almost falling posture.

However, Natasha's car did not fall over or lose control on the spot. Instead, it was like a cheetah racing against the wind, maintaining an incredibly delicate balance that was astonishing.

Such extreme and crazy driving skills, not to mention other drivers who witnessed it on the elevated road, even those professional motorcyclists would give a thumbs up and praise Natasha for her superb driving skills.

(Like this, but don’t learn it. Serious cyclists don’t make tight turns, and accidents happen like this.)

"Veronica, give me the fastest route plan."

After leaving the elevated road, Natasha's car speed decreased, but the complex city traffic environment did not become an obstacle to her pursuit and support. Instead, she still moved like a speeding snake, shuttling through the intricate streets, cleverly avoiding every red light, and using the gap between every green light to speed up.

The buildings on both sides of the street flashed by like scenes in a movie film. Every passerby was attracted by the passing phantom, and the expressions on their faces were either speechless or filled with lingering fear.

But Natasha had no time to pay attention to the eyes of others. At this moment, her attention was all on the road in front of her and the route instructions that kept coming to her ears.

"Turn right at the fork in the road ahead. Be careful, pedestrians will pass through the intersection in 5 seconds."

Veronica's calm voice echoed in her ears. Natasha then secretly calculated the time. When she was still a few meters away from the intersection, she lightly twisted the accelerator. The motorcycle seemed to be given life. With an almost imperceptible fine-tuning, it avoided the pedestrians who were about to enter the intersection and completed the right turn.

The whole process was smooth and natural, as if she and the car had already become one.

"There is a vehicle about to leave the parking lot exit ahead. Pay attention. Countdown is 7 seconds. 7, 6..."

Natasha's pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at the space in front of her that was about to become the intersection.

Her finger lightly touched the brake but did not actually press it. It was a delicate balance, maintaining enough speed to deal with emergencies while leaving enough reaction time.

"5, 4, 3..."

Veronica's countdown echoed in her ears, and every number seemed to hit her tense nerves. Her body leaned forward slightly, as if to get closer to the upcoming challenge.

"2..."

At that moment, Natasha reacted decisively.

Instead of slowing down, she used the flexible handling of the motorcycle to make a beautiful serpentine move in a very short time.

Almost before the driver of the car noticed her, Natasha had already flashed past the edge of their sight like a flash of lightning, leaving behind a blurry afterimage and the sound of rubber friction in the air.

"by!"

Veronica's voice contained no unnecessary emotion. She neither approved nor criticized Natasha's adventure. She just calmly announced the result.

At the same time, Sky and the other person who were chasing the Hyundai sedan in front of them could no longer see the other car's taillights. They could only rely on Veronica's real-time command to keep as much distance from the target as possible.

"We have to find a way to force them to slow down."

Sif nervously gripped the armrest above the passenger seat and racked her brains to find a way out of the situation.

"give it to me."

Suddenly, another woman's voice was heard on the communication channel, and then a stealth Quinjet belonging to the new S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly appeared from mid-air.

"plum!"

Skye shouted in surprise. She looked up at the sky through the windshield and immediately noticed that the Quinjet was like a divine weapon sent from the sky. It cut in at an incredible angle and rushed straight towards the target.

The plasma engine emitting a faint blue arc of light hummed softly, instantly closing the distance to the Hyundai sedan, and then relying on its own strong sense of oppression, it forced the traffic below to slow down until it came to a complete stop.

Seeing this, the iron puppet driving the Hyundai sedan suddenly raised his left arm to break the driver's window, gathering energy and ready to fire at the suspended Quinjet.

However, before it could fire the shot, a nimble figure weaving through the traffic had already quickly approached the side of the Hyundai car!
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Natasha, who arrived in time on a motorcycle, suddenly swung a stick at the arm of the iron puppet, smashing the entire mechanical arm and twisting it out of shape, with sparks flying everywhere. Seeing this, the iron puppet in the passenger seat was still thinking about pushing open the door and getting out to fight back, but Sky and the other two who arrived a step later had already killed this guy!
"Skye!"

Sif, who got out of the passenger seat of the SUV, let out a light shout, then suddenly took out a shield from her waist with both hands, exerted force on her feet, stepped forward, stepped on the hood of a passerby's car, and jumped up from the ground!

At the same time, Skye, who was in tune with her, immediately gathered the power of the shock wave in his palm, and rushed to the moment when Sif flew into the air and the shield in her hand happened to be facing him -

hum!
A visible shock wave was released, sweeping up the air and heading straight for Sif's shield!

bang~
Feeling the tremendous force transmitted to her hands along the shield, Sif in mid-air immediately took advantage of this force, twisted her body in the air for the second time, and locked her eyes firmly on the enemy's location!
bass!
The holy sword shining with golden glow is already in his hand. The powerful sword intent, riding on the majestic shock wave force, slashes towards the iron puppet with unmatched force that has no time to dodge!
Canglang!

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and Sif's agile figure fell to the ground. When she stood up again, the iron puppet had been broken into two and collapsed into a pile of scrap metal parts, with no possibility of standing up again.
-
"Your assistant has been rescued by us. He suffered some minor injuries, but he is not seriously injured."

After receiving the report from Skye and others, Lainie smiled and conveyed the good news to Dr. Zhao Helen beside her.

After hearing the news, the latter's tense body suddenly relaxed, and his heart, which had risen to his throat, finally fell back into his chest.

However, the relaxation was only temporary. Dr. Zhao Hailun soon realized that things were far from over and immediately asked about the situation of the regeneration cradle again.

"What about Tony? How's the cradle?"

Lainie's smile faded when she heard that, her eyes returned to the road in front of her, and she shook her head slightly.

"They're in some trouble over there. Ultron is using your colleagues as hostages to force us to hand over Wanda."

"Wanda? The twin sister?"

Zhao Hailun's face tensed, and then he figured out Ultron's plan.

"Is it planning to use the girl's superpowers to help it build a new body?"

"Probably."

Lainie nodded, a hint of doubt unconsciously flashing in her eyes.

Logically speaking, with Wanda's abilities and part of the energy of the Mind Gem contained in her body, it is indeed possible for Ultron to rely on her to complete the creation of a new body.

But is this really Ultron’s purpose?

Lainie was deeply skeptical.

She was sure that Ultron must know the secret of the scepter, after all, it was derived from it.

Therefore, Lainie felt that Ultron would never give the Mind Stone to anyone else, and he would definitely find ways to take it away from Lainie and others.

The threat currently being made by the other party is nothing but a cover-up, and there must be a more far-reaching plan behind it.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Seeing that Lainie was slow to speak, Zhao Hailun had no choice but to continue asking questions along the same topic.

However, there are some things she did not say directly, such as whether she would choose to sacrifice her colleagues in order to protect Wanda.

However, Lainie obviously heard the implicit meaning of her words. She turned her head to look at her, and a smile appeared on her serious face again.

"Don't worry, we will never let that guy succeed!"

After saying that, Lainie turned around, and skillfully steered the nearly scrapped, leaky SUV onto another road far away from the laboratory.

"But before that, I have to get you to a safe place."
-
On the other side, Tony and others were stuck in a stalemate. Faced with Ultron, who took the entire laboratory and all the experimenters hostage, they were caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

"Give up on this idea. We will never agree to your conditions!"

Tony, wearing the Mark 43 armor, sternly stopped Ultron's bewitching voice.

He knew very well what Ultron was planning, not to mention how much impact and threat it would have on the team if the little witch was really handed over.

Just because the latter is willing to put aside their past grudges, willing to believe in himself and Lenny, and willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone to fight against Ultron, he should not make the wrong decision that would undermine this trust.

"Oh, then I can only say sorry to these researchers and his family."

Ultron looked very disappointed, and his mechanical body suspended in the air swayed slightly in a very artificial manner, as if he felt very sorry for what he was about to do next.

Ultron raised his right hand and pretended to swing it down in front of everyone.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Wanda, who had been held tightly in Pietro's arms, broke free from her brother's restraints and stopped Ultron.

"Wanda, no..."

Pietro wanted to say something, but Wanda gave him a firm look in return.

"Brother, I can't just watch these people die, especially when I have the power to save them."

Wanda said this, then turned around resolutely and met Ultron's eyes that were emitting a strange red light.

"I can go with you, but you have to release everyone first!"

"Of course, you deserve it."

There was a hint of imperceptible joy in Ultron's voice, and its mechanical arm slowly lowered, as if it was enjoying this fateful game called "negotiation".

"Believe me, this is a sure win for both of us. How do you humans describe this kind of transaction?"

Ultron paused, and his mechanical face was once again filled with his signature weird smile.

"Oh, yes, it is——

A win-win situation. ”
