Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 185 Washington? Or New York?

Yes, it was Stark and Luca who hijacked the InSight satellite signal.

However, this process was not easy.

Tony initially wanted to hack into the three space carriers with Luca, manipulate them to attack and self-destruct each other, and resolve the crisis in Washington.

However, by the time the two discovered that the servers inside the mothership were rejecting any external data, it was too late to switch targets and hack into the Insight Satellite.

This is why, just before the satellite signal was hijacked, the three space carriers still managed to launch the first wave of fire.

"Damn it!"

Tony slammed his fist on the laptop, and static appeared on the screen.

Watching the White House instantly turn into ruins in the video footage, Tony's eyes were filled with barely suppressed anger and a sense of powerlessness.

However, this is the limit that he and Luca can do right now.

While satellite interference may prevent the Eye of Insight from locking onto a threatening target, this does not mean that the space carrier is useless.

In just a moment, the three space carriers on the screen began to slowly descend.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the space carrier, one after another, carrier-based fighter jets took off.

"These bastards are changing tactics!"

At this moment, the three space carriers over Washington were no longer clustered together, but instead dispersed to suppress the entire airspace over Washington.

The massive mothership, resembling three floating steel islands, aimed its deadly main guns and dense anti-aircraft fire at the city's main transportation hubs, military outposts where resistance might arise, and any forces attempting to rally.

The carrier-based fighter jets roared into the air, like a deadly swarm of bees, and began patrolling and bombing, relentlessly suppressing the entire airspace and preventing any effective air counterattack or evacuation.

On the ground, government institutions that survived the first wave of fire were almost paralyzed.

A large number of Hydra ground troops began to take over the entire city.

This group included Hydra agents who were originally part of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Centipede Warriors and cyborg soldiers previously controlled by Hydra. There were also a considerable number of Inhumans under the control of the Hive.

Clearly, Hydra has temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​precise targeting based on threat algorithms and is now planning to rely entirely on force to establish its dominance.

With the White House destroyed and Washington left leaderless, it seems only a matter of time before Hydra takes complete control of the city.

"Satellite hijacking can only blind them, but it won't pull out their fangs! These insects are still wreaking havoc with impunity!"

Tony stared at the scene on the screen, his hands clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and streaks of blood spreading from his fingertips.

Luca's face was equally grim, but his mind was racing, weighing the options.

"They abandoned precision strikes and switched to total repression. Washington is sinking, but we're going to rush in now..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the empty wasteland outside the porthole.

"Aside from being shot down by those anti-aircraft guns like two flies, it serves no purpose at all."

"Besides, it's closer to New York. The captain and the others have lost contact, and those lunatics who escaped from prison are wreaking havoc in the city! If this drags on any longer, New York might rot even faster than Washington!"

The plane is currently crashing in Pennsylvania. In fact, if it hadn't been for the accident, it would have been just over ten minutes away from New York.

Rather than trying to go to Washington to die, it would be better to get to New York as soon as possible and meet up with Steve and the others first. Furthermore, what Luca didn't say was even more important: although both New York and Washington were currently in chaos...

However, compared to Hydra, which seeks dominance, the damage caused by the otherworldly invaders, who are simply causing chaos and destruction, may actually be greater.

Tony was naturally aware of what Luca was saying.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and stop looking at the devastation in Washington on the screen, forcing himself to turn his attention back to New York.

"I can't get in touch with the captain, I can't get in touch with anyone... Jarvis, access all cameras, videos, and satellite signals in New York. I need to know the current situation in New York."

"Also, match Avengers member information and lock onto the target as soon as possible! Continue to try any possible means to call Steve, Natasha, or Banner!"

As soon as Tony gave the order, the image on the computer screen changed immediately.

"Sir, the power system and network in New York City are largely paralyzed, and the damage caused by prison escapees has begun to spread throughout the city. The New York Police Department is organizing a counterattack."

In the footage Jarvis showed, New York police officers wearing tactical goggles and carrying "Orderers" were maintaining order and cracking down on crime in every street and alley.

Anyone who causes trouble will be met with an electromagnetic tranquilizer dart. Any rioters will be instantly eliminated with an ion beam.

If the criminal has superpowers, a dense swarm of ion-decomposing balls will instantly appear and attack.

Tony glanced at Luca beside him with some surprise, but given the urgency of the situation, he didn't say anything more and continued to ask Jarvis.

"Where are the captain and the others?"

"Sir, no information about any Avengers members has been identified in the current footage."

Upon hearing Jarvis's report, Tony's expression darkened even further.

He didn't believe that the Avengers would do nothing when New York was in such chaos.

However, Jarvis has not been able to locate Steve and his group in New York's surveillance system and satellite surveillance.

Either they were genuinely unlucky, or too many networks were down and they weren't filmed. Or...
Tony dared not think any further.

However, at this moment, Luca suddenly stopped Jarvis's video playback.

"Jarvis, zoom in on the top left corner."

Although Luca was the one who gave the order, given Jarvis's intelligence, he naturally wouldn't refuse at this moment and directly zoomed in on the monitoring screen in the upper left corner to full screen.

At this moment, in what appears to be a corner of a factory building, a large group of chubby white inflatable robots are lined up in neat rows and jogging out of the building.

Looking at the logos on these chubby white inflatable robots, Tony looked at Luca again.

"This is also a product of Orange Industries."

"Yes, a medical robot, a project in collaboration with Harry's father, it should have been deployed to assist in the rescue efforts."

However, Luca only casually explained that he asked Jarvis to switch the screen here, not to see his own medical robot.

Luca pointed to the screen at a naked man with snow-white skin, who looked like he didn't even have a face and stood out conspicuously among a group of white people.

"look here!"
