Chapter 36: Pushing Forward
A sonic boom shattered the peaceful night sky, as two blurry figures tore through a wisp of cloud and suddenly appeared high above.
"It's here."
Lynn looked at the island below and said with certainty.
Tony nodded, and the moment Lynn finished speaking, he began scanning the entire island, while also having Jarvis search for all information about it.
An artificial island built by Charles Weyland?
That old man obsessed with immortality?
Because this old man constantly sent people to explore various ruins in search of a way to achieve immortality, he was somewhat well-known in the circles of the wealthy.
Tony mused, then asked in confusion, "I remember this old man started research with the Military last year, didn't he?"
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis responded, saying, "According to the data, General Stryker took over his research."
William Stryker?
The William Stryker who deeply hated Mutants?
Is this place related to the Military?
Lynn, standing nearby, frowned upon hearing the name William Stryker.
That old fellow?
However, what made him curious was why Raven would come here.
This place was thousands of kilometers away from New York.
"Scan complete."
Jarvis announced, and a holographic map appeared before Tony's eyes.
He looked at the five-story underground research Base and said with a playful expression, "This old man probably spent a lot of money here."
Rather than saying the research Base was built on this artificial island, it was more accurate to say the artificial island was built around the research Base.
Lynn pondered for a moment, then said to Tony, "You shouldn't get involved, so wait for me here."
Since it involved the Military, Tony, who had already fallen out with the Military because of the Iron Man Suit, should ideally not interfere.
"Wait for you?"
Tony chuckled, scoffing, "Without me, you probably wouldn't even find the entrance to the underground laboratory."
Can't find the entrance?
Lynn looked at the only building on the island, raising an eyebrow.
It was so obvious, even an idiot could find it, right?
"What kind of look is that? Are you doubting me?"
Tony huffed in displeasure and flew towards the mansion on the island.
But as he descended to a certain altitude, an alarm blared inside the Iron Man Suit.
He was startled and quickly stopped Lynn.
"Don't breathe, there's a neurotoxin in the air!"
Lynn nodded.
With his current physical strength, not breathing for an extended period was not an issue.
Moreover, how much impact this neurotoxin could have on him was also an unknown.
The two flew into the mansion but suddenly stopped again.
"What are these things?"
Tony asked in confusion, looking at the monsters wandering inside the mansion.
These monsters had long, slender heads, stood on two feet, and possessed a large, long tail. Their physique somewhat resembled humans, but from some details on their bodies, they looked more like arthropods.
Lynn was stunned, then said in surprise, "Xenomorphs? Why are these things here?"
More precisely, why were Xenomorphs in this World?
These should be things from two different Worlds, right?
"What's a Xenomorph?"
Tony scanned the monsters but couldn't find any matching creature in Earth's biological database.
"A highly aggressive, parasitic alien species."
Lynn casually explained, reminding him, "Be careful of their blood; it's highly corrosive."
Aside from the Xenomorph's acid blood potentially damaging Tony's Suit, Lynn didn't think these Xenomorphs could threaten Iron Man.
"Got it."
Tony responded.
Although he found Lynn's knowledge of these creatures a bit strange, considering Lynn's identity, he immediately dismissed the question.
As the Son of Zeus, it was only natural for him to know things ordinary people didn't.
While the two were talking, the Xenomorphs had already surrounded them.
Although they were discarded products of the experimental Base, guarding their nest was their instinct, and upon seeing intruders, they attacked without hesitation.
The Xenomorphs wandering the mansion charged at the two from all directions.
"I'll take them!"
Tony shouted excitedly, immediately having Jarvis activate the 'Lynn Combat Template'.
The next moment, the Iron Man Suit shot out flames, accompanied by a sonic boom, and directly plunged into the midst of the Xenomorphs.
Facing the Iron Man Suit in supersonic mode, even these terrifying hunters were helpless.
Let alone attacking, they were blasted away in severe pain before they even saw Tony.
"So fluid, so smooth, so exhilarating!"
The excitement in Tony's eyes grew stronger.
This state of going supersonic, not slowing down due to attacks, and every attack being smooth and natural, was simply too exhilarating.
It felt like playing a shooting game with an acceleration cheat, just killing all the way through.
Tony's attacks attracted a large number of Xenomorphs, so not many attacked Lynn.
As for the Xenomorphs attacking him, Lynn easily dodged, then gently and elegantly pressed his hands on the Xenomorphs' heads, and then... violently ripped off their heads!
Pfft!
Yellow-green blood spurted out, but Lynn had already flashed to the other side.
His speed was much faster than the blood's spray speed.
And because he was so fast, before the first Xenomorph's body hit the ground, the second, the third... when he stopped, the heads of the five Xenomorphs that had charged at him were all torn off.
Pch!
Yellow-green blood spurted from the severed necks, falling like a rain and corroding everything around it.
Lynn shook his hands, which were not stained with a single drop of blood, and shouted to Tony, "Tony, don't waste time on these things."
No sooner had he spoken than Tony stopped in the middle of the Xenomorphs.
The next second, a dangerous red glow appeared above the back of the Iron Man Suit's hands; crimson lasers shot out like sharp blades. As the Iron Man Suit rotated, they sliced through every Xenomorph, yet precisely avoided Lynn's position.
And when Tony clenched his fists and dispersed the lasers, all the Xenomorphs were cut in half.
Immediately, a large amount of acid blood flowed out, forming a yellow-green puddle that furiously corroded the ground.
Tony frowned, looking at the bodies scattered everywhere, feeling a bit disgusted.
"Follow me, the entrance is this way."
Tony said to Lynn, and they flew over the acid blood-covered ground, landing in front of the entrance.
Although the entrance was sealed, for Tony Stark, it was no problem at all.
Tony Stark only took a few seconds to open the door.
And as the two entered the underground Base, the control center on the lowest level completely erupted into chaos.
"Quick, stop them!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man is here!"
"They absolutely cannot discover what's happening here!"
The person in charge took a deep breath and said coldly, "Control the Xenomorph Queen, send all the Super Xenomorphs to the front, and prepare to release the Xenomorph Emperor."
