"Sorry, Tony. If the missiles cook off and blow you to death, you can't blame me!"

The bullet sped through the air, striking the rocket in Iron Monger's left arm before Su Zhou's Bullet Time ended!

Clang-BOOM!!!

The rocket launcher on Iron Monger's left arm detonated, turning into a massive fireball on the spot,

Iron Monger's left arm vanished without a trace, and he went flying far away, trailing sparks and thick smoke,

He fell off the roof of Stark Industries, landing who knew where!

The glass roof Tony had spent a fortune building also shattered under the blast,

Tony was knocked over by the shock wave from the rocket explosion as well, falling and getting stuck right on the edge of the roof,

His already battered Iron Man Armor had now become a battle-damaged edition exclusively for the Middle East,

The entire suit had lost power. If the newly upgraded armor hadn't been designed to be lightweight,

Tony would probably have ended up just as he had with the hand-built model, with it becoming his iron prison.

Brrring-

The phone rang, and Su Zhou answered immediately,

"Hello, Su Zhou speaking. I'm a little tired right now and was just about to go home and sleep."

"Were you the one who fired that shot?!"

Tony sounded thoroughly excited. Of everyone he knew, only Su Zhou had such freakishly good marksmanship.

Hitting a moving rocket launcher with one shot and detonating the rocket hidden inside,

It sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult. After all, the opening of a rocket launcher was only a tiny black dot from two hundred meters away,

Even with a high-magnification scope, landing a single shot like that wasn't just a matter of luck!

"Of course it was me. I couldn't just let your dear uncle beat you to death, could I?"

Su Zhou lowered the sniper rifle in his hands, feeling a little frustrated. Although Obadiah had just been blasted away,

His system still hadn't given him a reward. It wasn't just that he hadn't personally witnessed Iron Monger's death,

More likely, Obadiah wasn't dead at all!

"Your dear uncle just fell off the building, and now it looks like... he's coming for me!"

Clang, clang, clang!!!

With [Super Vision], Su Zhou clearly saw Iron Monger, missing one hand,

Flying toward him, trailing thick, polluting exhaust!

Then he attacked Su Zhou while still in midair. The rocket launcher on his left arm had been blown up,

But the Vulcan rotary machine gun on his right hand was still there, and he unleashed a fierce barrage at Su Zhou's position!

A stream of bullets struck the rooftop, throwing up countless clouds of dust. Shattered concrete and ricocheting bullets flew everywhere!

Su Zhou didn't even have time to put down his sniper rifle before rolling behind an outdoor air-conditioning unit on the roof,

He was instantly engulfed in the dust kicked up by the gunfire, while fragments of stone clattered against the air-conditioning unit!

Su Zhou: (▼皿▼#)

This isn't how I imagined it!

Tony isn't dead yet, so why has the aggro switched to me?!

BOOM!!!

Iron Monger's massive body slammed onto the rooftop where Su Zhou was. Because he had lost the thruster on his left hand,

His landing was a little unsteady, and he took several steps before finding his footing,

Seeing Su Zhou hiding behind cover, Iron Monger aimed the rotary machine gun in his hand at Su Zhou's position,

Only then did he flip open his faceplate, revealing Obadiah's gleaming bald head,

"I know you, kid with the great aim! You're the one who brought Tony back from that damned hellhole in the Middle East!

"But now your life is in my hands. The instant you poke your body out of cover,

"Countless bullets will tear you to pieces. But even if you don't come out,

"That air-conditioning unit won't hold me off for long. It can't save your life! Hahahaha!!!"

As soon as Obadiah finished speaking, the Vulcan machine gun on his right hand opened fierce fire on Su Zhou's position!

The entire air-conditioning unit was instantly riddled with holes and looked about to be torn apart by the bullet storm!

At that moment, Su Zhou was instead unusually calm. After all, Obadiah had already opened his bulletproof Iron Man Armor,

Although he was currently pinned down by the enemy's firepower and wouldn't have a chance to shoot even if he used [Bullet Time] again,

This was his only good opportunity for a one-shot kill!

[Super Vision] frantically scanned everything on the rooftop as Su Zhou kept searching for objects he could use,

The first skill he had acquired, [Deadshot], was also active, calculating a bullet's trajectory in his mind!

Since he couldn't hit Obadiah's bald head directly, he would use a ricocheting bullet to deliver the final blow!

Su Zhou took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the M9 pistol, and activated [Bullet Time] once again!

Using [Bullet Time] twice in quick succession put an enormous strain on his body,

He didn't know whether his heart could take it. Even if it could, he would probably have to spend several days in the hospital,

At the thought of the United States' exorbitant medical bills, Su Zhou's vision went dark!

Because of those hefty medical bills, the previous owner of his body had selectively ignored his cold, then been burned alive by a high fever,

Otherwise, Su Zhou wouldn't even have had a chance to transmigrate here!!

But Su Zhou had no other choice now. Even a ricocheting bullet could only bounce once at most!

To kill with a single shot, Su Zhou needed to extend his gun beyond cover!

Just one second!!!

His heart was like a V8 engine with the throttle floored, and the world in Su Zhou's eyes instantly slowed down,

Using [Bullet Time] twice in quick succession, Su Zhou felt that the slowing effect was even more pronounced the second time!

Perhaps there was still a large amount of adrenaline left in his body, followed by another massive release of adrenaline,

If Su Zhou had his blood drawn now, there might not even be a single drop of water in it,

Only high-purity adrenaline!

The muzzle of the M9 poked slightly beyond cover, and Su Zhou's eyes opened wide,

He controlled his body to avoid the lethal bullets, but was still struck by quite a few flying stone fragments,

Yet under the influence of all those hormones, Su Zhou acted as though nothing had happened,

And resolutely pulled the trigger!

Bang-!

The crisp gunshot was instantly drowned out by the roar of the Vulcan machine gun, without causing the slightest stir!

The instant Su Zhou poked out from cover, Obadiah's Iron Man Armor had already begun closing,

He was gambling with his own life too, betting that Su Zhou's marksmanship wasn't quite that absurd!

The Iron Man Armor took less than a second to close. That little time was nowhere near enough to fire a shot!

It wasn't even enough to aim!

The Iron Man Armor closed, and the rotary machine gun in Iron Monger's hand instantly ceased fire,

Su Zhou fell heavily to the ground, gasping for breath like a fish out of water!

Both hands clutched tightly over his heart, and sweat covered his forehead!

Su Zhou: (°o°:)

I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! My heart seems to have stopped!

Before he passed out, he vaguely heard the voice of a certain Nick Fury!

"Su Zhou!"
