"Report, report, Abomination is about to arrive in New York City. Requesting support, requesting support!"
General Lennox's face was ashen. The United States is vast, and most areas are sparsely populated.
But New York is different. It is the largest city in the United States, the economic, financial, and cultural center of America, and its population is exceptionally dense.
The impact of a major battle with Abomination in the countryside versus in New York would be absolutely incomparable.
General Lennox looked at an aide. "What did S.H.I.E.L.D. say?"
The aide said gravely, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has entered an emergency state. Agents are already contacting Silver Armored War God and Iron Man."
General Lennox looked disheartened. They were already making emergency contacts, but whether they could be contacted, and whether they would act if contacted, were still unknown.
General Lennox was not old enough to have amnesia. Just a few days ago, a large number of citizens collectively protested against Silver Armored War God.
They even displayed banners proclaiming, 'We don't need Silver Armored War God.'
In other words, now they could only bear the brunt themselves!
"At all costs, we must stop Abomination outside New York City to buy more time for citizen evacuation!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Ten minutes later.
"Report, report, Abomination has broken through our defenses and stormed into New York International Airport. Requesting support, requesting support!"
General Lennox was anxious and agitated. "What's the situation at the airport?"
"Abomination arrived too suddenly and caused massive destruction. There are currently a large number of stranded passengers at the airport, and large-scale riots have already broken out."
"This is bad! The control tower was hit by aircraft debris thrown by Abomination. A large number of staff members are injured, and the planes taking off and landing have lost command, making a collision highly probable."
"What?!"
Hearing the situation reported by the communications soldier, General Lennox was startled.
New York International Airport is the largest airport in the United States, and the world's attention is focused there.
If something happened at the airport, its impact would be even worse than 9/11.
As the commander, he would be beyond redemption.
The weather was extremely hot, but General Lennox's mind and body felt icy cold.
"Find a way to lure Abomination away and quickly restore communication between the control tower and the passenger planes!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After hanging up the phone, General Lennox felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
Having been a soldier for so many years, he had never felt so powerless as he did now!
America, with the world's best navy and air force, was utterly helpless against a monster on its own soil.
Was the world changing too fast, or had he grown too old to keep up with the times?
He was a young and vigorous officer in the U.S. military!
Helicopters flew in the sky.
On the ground, raging fires burned, and there were ruins of buildings, weapon debris, and wounded soldiers everywhere.
General Lennox's mind went blank, as if all sounds in the world were beginning to fade away from him.
This world needs a hero, a hero who can turn the tide and save everything!
London.
"Hello everyone, I'm a BBC reporter stationed in New York. I'm currently at New York International Airport. As you can see, due to the appearance of the big monster Abomination, the airport has fallen into utter chaos."
Tokyo.
"According to reports from our (NHK) correspondent in New York, around 2:44 PM today, a large monster named Abomination escaped from a U.S. military base. It rampaged toward New York City. The U.S. military fought bravely, suffering thousands of casualties, but unfortunately failed to stop Abomination. It has now broken into the international airport, which has fallen into panic and chaos. God bless America, and may the U.S. military's martial fortunes be prosperous, so they can eliminate Abomination as soon as possible!"
Moscow.
"According to our (ORT) news, a monster suspected to be the result of a biochemical experiment, Abomination, broke out from a U.S. military base. The U.S. military and Abomination engaged in fierce combat, and the base was razed to the ground, but Abomination was not eliminated. Abomination has now broken into New York International Airport."
Berlin.
"According to the latest news from our (ARD) station, the control tower at New York International Airport has been destroyed, and a large number of staff members are injured. Two passenger planes, one taking off and one landing, are without command and have now deviated. This is bad! The landing passenger plane was hit by a car thrown into the sky by Abomination, its wing broke, and it is about to collide with the Boeing 737 that is taking off."
Paris.
"Are two passenger planes really going to crash like this at the airport? My God, this is absolutely the most absurd and tragic plane crash in human history."
At this moment, all eyes from countries across the world, whether day or night, were focused on New York International Airport.
No one had expected that a single Abomination could rampage through the most advanced U.S. military, easily breaching the layers of defenses set up by the U.S. military.
The nerves of all countries around the world were taut. What would happen if this monster called Abomination ran rampant in their own countries?
The Boeing 737 passenger plane, with its broken wing and engines engulfed in raging flames, trailing black smoke across the sky, made everyone's heart around the world clench tightly.
That was an entire plane full of passengers, possibly even children just a few years old, whose lives had never even blossomed—were they really going to perish like this?
But who could snatch people from the clutches of the God of Death from a crashing plane?
At this moment, many people's minds couldn't help but recall that bright silver mecha… Perhaps only he would have a way!
"What is that?"
In front of the screens.
Countless people widened their eyes, staring at a small dot rapidly moving toward the passenger plane trailing a large amount of black smoke.
"Is that a bird? So fast!"
"A mecha?!"
"It's Iron Man!"
Boom!
In an instant, everyone around the world erupted in cheers.
In front of the screens, the hearts of countless viewers cheered with the arrival of Iron Man.
Previously, everyone couldn't help but wonder if Silver Armored War God or Iron Man's arrival could turn the tide.
Now, they finally knew!
In an instant, everyone felt as if they had become Iron Man, breathing and sharing destiny with him!
But soon, the smiles on everyone's faces slowly faded.
They could see that Iron Man was truly doing his best.
But facing a giant like the Boeing 737, weighing nearly fifty thousand tons, Iron Man was clearly outmatched.
Moreover, the Boeing 737 was still plummeting at high speed; Iron Man simply couldn't reverse this downward trend!
How could this be?
Where was Silver Armored War God?
As the strongest of the superheroes, if he and Iron Man had acted together, perhaps they could have successfully saved this plane!
It had been so long—why hadn't Silver Armored War God appeared?
Had he completely lost hope in the New York City citizens?
In front of the television sets.
Everyone fell silent, especially J. Jonah Jameson, who had recently authored "Why We Don't Need Silver Armored War God," felt immense regret.
Was it really because of his article that Silver Armored War God had completely given up on the New York citizens?
You are a Super Hero! A Super Hero whom enemies cannot defeat, difficulties cannot crush, and setbacks cannot overcome!
How could you abandon such a great and noble cause just because of one article, one protest?
Just then, J. Jonah Jameson slapped his thigh, his eyebrows dancing with excitement. "I knew it! I knew it! How could a Super Hero be absent when the people need him?!"
