47: The mysterious overseas forces appeared! Lu Xingye wore armor and shone brightly.
…the Mark VI Iron Man Suit, also known as the briefcase armor.
Ever since Tony's identity as Iron Man was exposed, he set up this portable armor that could be assembled anywhere.
When not in use, it could be folded into a briefcase.
At the same time,
the Mark VI used a Vibranium Arc Reactor.
The “Arc Reactor” no longer used radioactive palladium to generate nuclear fusion.
Instead, it used an unknown element not present in the periodic table, which was more stable and could provide several times the nuclear energy of the old reactor, greatly increasing the Iron Man's combat power and reaction speed.
It also eliminated the side effects of the Arc Reactor.
“Put on the Iron Man Suit.”
Lu Xingye fiddled with the briefcase, and it instantly opened, revealing the helmet, torso, arms, and leg armor, arranged and combined.
They attached to Lu Xingye's body.
The light red Iron Man Suit was very comfortable to wear, and he felt a strong sense of power throughout his body.
Lu Xingye felt that if he moved even slightly, the Iron Man Suit would punch a large hole through the house.
So after he put on the Iron Man Suit,
he became very cautious, performing many small experimental movements, but he didn't attempt any large-scale actions.
The Iron Man Suit was simply a divine weapon for single-person combat.
Wearing it, he felt completely secure.
The Iron Man Suit was equipped with small firearms on the shoulders and wrists, and braking and propulsion devices on the legs and feet, respectively. This configuration allowed for free flight in the air and possessed very strong combat power.
Lu Xingye tried it out slightly, and the armor floated, hovering 5 centimeters above the floor.
“Comfortable!”
“Powerful.”
“Indeed, armor is a man's romance.”
Unfortunately, it was modern society, with cameras everywhere, and radar and satellites in the sky.
Otherwise, Lu Xingye really wanted to pilot the Iron Man Suit and experience what high-altitude superspeed felt like.
He experimented again.
Because of the assistance of the artificial intelligence Jarvis, he didn't need much practice to skillfully control the Iron Man Suit.
How to describe that feeling?
The Iron Man Suit was like an extension of his own limbs, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
It was not bad.
After experiencing it for a while, he put away the Iron Man Suit. The helmet, torso, arms, and leg armor sequentially flew back into the briefcase.
It was truly amazing.
With his current understanding of technology, Lu Xingye couldn't figure out how such a large Iron Man Suit could be stored in such a small box.
Just then, a phone rang.
“No one accompanies me to watch the stars, no one crosses the rest of life with me.”
“No one wipes away the tears from my eyes, no one understands my fatigue.”
“No one knows what I mean, no one asks me when?”
A song called “No One With Me” started playing, and Lu Xingye felt some goosebumps.
It was too sad.
“Jarvis.”
“What's going on?”
“My phone ringtone has always been ‘The Lone Brave,’ why did it change to ‘No One With Me’?”
“Boss, I saw you were too lonely, a CEO with hundreds of billions in assets, yet not a single girl by your side. So I played this song, isn't it perfectly fitting?” Jarvis's faint voice came from the computer speakers, and during it, Jarvis even simulated a very strange laugh.
“Fitting your sister, quickly change it back for me…”
“Sigh… Alright. The spring breeze doesn't understand romance…” Jarvis feigned helplessness, but that last sentence somehow sounded a bit punchable.
What the heck does “the spring breeze doesn't understand romance” mean???
What do you, an artificial intelligence, understand?
Understand nothing!
And the spring breeze doesn't understand romance.
I think you're tired of living.
Lu Xingye ignored Jarvis and directly pressed the answer button. The screen showed that the call was from Zhao Dawei.
“Hello.”
“Dawei, is something wrong?”
“Fourth brother, our company has booked the entire Emperor KTV tonight for a celebration party. Do you want to come and say a few words?” Zhao Dawei's faint voice came from the other end of the line.
Lu Xingye checked the map; Emperor KTV was over thirty kilometers from Yan University.
“It seems a bit far…”
“Not far at all! Fourth brother, I'll drive you there.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye hesitated for a moment. He still decided to go and have some fun; as the CEO of the company, he had to make an appearance.
“Alright then! You drive over and pick me up.”
“Wait a minute!”
“When did you buy a car, you kid?”
Mid-sentence,
Lu Xingye realized that Zhao Dawei was from the countryside and was now starting a business with him. When did he secretly buy a car?
“Cough, cough… The company car.” Zhao Dawei's face flushed.
“The company car? As the CEO of the company, I don't even have a car. And you, an employee, have one?” Lu Xingye felt a pang of envy upon hearing this.
His quality of life was too poor; it was time to improve it.
“I'll immediately help you, boss, buy a supercar.” Zhao Dawei said awkwardly.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Dawei drove a Mercedes-Benz to the downstairs of Lu Xingye's rental house.
Lu Xingye, carrying his briefcase, came downstairs, opened the car door, and as soon as he sat in the Mercedes-Benz, the engine roared.
The car then smoothly drove towards Emperor KTV.
After driving for about half an hour.
As they passed a secluded road, Lu Xingye was suddenly startled awake by a phone vibration. He opened it and saw a message from Jarvis.
“Boss.”
“Be careful, someone is following us.”
Lu Xingye, who was originally a bit groggy, instantly sobered up after seeing this message.
His gaze followed the rearview mirror, and as far as his eyes could see, three black vans were following closely behind.
The van windows were tinted with privacy film, making it impossible to see what was inside. The license plates were brand new and mismatched with the old bodies of the cars, clearly indicating they were fake plates.
Something was wrong!
Based on these two points, Lu Xingye concluded that even if these three vans behind them weren't specifically tracking him, they definitely had malicious intentions.
Who was it?
Capitalists sent to kill him??
Or to kidnap him?
Coveting the Nano Battery technology?
Lu Xingye, like any ordinary person, felt panic, fear… and helplessness as his first reaction when he realized he was being followed.
“Jarvis, call 110 for me.”
Lu Xingye's arm touched the Iron Man Suit briefcase next to him, as if it could bring him a little sense of security… “Boss, I've already called the police in advance, but the police are more than ten kilometers from here and will take at least 10 minutes to arrive.”
“It's already too late.”
“There's a canyon area two kilometers ahead, where it's sparsely populated and there are no surveillance cameras. I suspect they'll make their move there.”
Two kilometers ahead??
Two kilometers by car takes less than a minute.
Lu Xingye was silent for a moment, clutching the briefcase tightly with both hands, forcing himself to calm down.
“Dawei.”
“Accelerate.”
“Shake off those three vans behind us as fast as possible.” Lu Xingye's voice was tense, with a hint of undeniable authority.
Perhaps Zhao Dawei also sensed the unusual atmosphere; he nodded slightly, then slammed the accelerator to the floor.
Immediately after.
Another sudden brake.
Because directly ahead, there were also three similar vans driving towards them. These three vans also had privacy film and fake license plates, clearly belonging to the same group of people.
This was big trouble now.
With three vans in front and three vans behind, Zhao Dawei's Mercedes-Benz was completely blocked in the middle of the road.
