Chapter 977: Not Possible To Evade
Huh Huh~
“Anton, fly over there.” After landing in the warehouse, Scott dismounted from Anton’s back and then directed him to head in a different direction.
As Anton followed his orders and flew off, Scott started to navigate the warehouse with caution. The base had undergone significant changes, rendering the blueprint provided by Dr. Pym useless for Scott’s purposes. It was now up to him to locate the signal-masking device.
Click ~ Click ~
But as Scott peeked out from his hiding spot, he was taken aback by the highly advanced and fully automated production line in front of him.
As a professional electrical engineer, he was momentarily unable to comprehend the purpose of the components being manufactured on the conveyor belt. However, his instincts told him that these parts were significant.
“Could this be the secret factory for Iron Man suits, but these parts don’t look like it,” Scott whispered as he tiptoed along the beams of the warehouse.
Despite being intrigued by the manufacturing process of the E-grade aerospace fighters, Scott did not lose sight of his objective. He was searching for Dr. Pym’s signal-masking device. However, there was no sign of it in this warehouse. Undeterred, Scott scoured the roof, hoping to discover a small storage room or something similar.
As soon as Scott entered the warehouse, Dr. Pym was unable to keep watching the live feed and could only track Scott’s whereabouts through the positioning and communication system on the Ant-Man suit. If Dr. Pym had also witnessed the production of those E-grade aerospace fighter parts, he would have been even more shocked than Scott.
Tony Stark, located in the Stark Industries building in downtown New York, saw Scott moving cautiously on a beam through the warehouse’s surveillance system. If not for the powerful weapons in the warehouse that could potentially damage the production line, Tony would have ordered JARVIS to activate the automatic defense system and eliminate the tiny ant, Scott.
“Frank, seal off the exits. I’ll have JARVIS initiate the third-level decontamination protocol,” Tony’s voice suddenly echoed in Frank’s and his team’s ears.
“Understood,” Frank and his teammates swiftly retreated toward the warehouse door upon hearing Tony’s instructions.
The third-level decontamination is the most advanced cleaning process in the warehouse, capable of removing particles hundreds of times smaller than ants. It was clear that Tony did not want Scott to roam freely in the warehouse any longer.
Huh Huh~
Just as Frank and his team reached the exit, a white mist began to emit from various locations within the warehouse. The mist consisted of tiny cleaning particles that attached to dirt and debris, breaking them down into microscopic particles, and then removing them completely. The decontamination protocol was meant to thoroughly clean every inch of the warehouse and leave nothing behind.
“Shit! What is this?!” Scott, who had been sneaking around the roof, immediately detected the white mist as it spewed out from the warehouse. Instinctively, Scott realized that this was not a good sign and that it posed a threat.
Huh Huh~
As an ant-sized entity, Scott could see that the white mist was comprised of tiny water droplets. When the mist passed through an area, it decomposed any tiny substances in its path and improved the air quality. As Scott watched the mist decompose a fiber-like substance, he became nervous and worried.
“So merciless! How can I avoid it? Will the defense mechanism of the Ant-Man suit be able to block it?” Scott thought in a panic as he backed away.
Huh~
Finally, the white mist reached Scott. He didn’t dare to test the power of the mist by using the defense mechanism of the Ant-Man suit. Instead, he made a quick decision and ran toward the edge of the beam.
“Whoa!” In a split second, Scott leaped off the beam, successfully evading the descending mist.
Brush!
“Is hiding the solution?” As Scott jumps from the rooftop, Tony observes through the surveillance screen with a hint of amusement on his lips. Although he doesn’t necessarily have to kill the intruder who broke into his secret base, Tony can’t simply let him go after seeing something he shouldn’t have seen. His goal is to capture Scott and determine which group he belongs to and what his purpose for invading is. Furthermore, Tony is intrigued by the shrinking technology.
“Tony is pretty ruthless, he won’t really kill Scott, will he?” Through the communicator on Scott’s body, Lin Rui also roughly understands his current situation, so Lin Rui is considering whether to send out the message to make Tony stop.
Boom!
As Tony was enjoying himself and Lin Rui was filled with concern, Scott, the central figure, had already touched down. Upon landing, Scott returned to its original size and immediately conducted a quick scan of the surrounding area, as if searching for a way to escape.
However, the thick white fog surrounded Scott from every angle, leaving no room for escape. The only possible exit, the warehouse gate, was guarded by Frank and his associates, making it impassable. To make matters worse, Scott had yet to locate the item it had come for.
It appeared that Scott had no means of escape. As Scott gazed at the warehouse door, Frank and his companions made no move to approach. They simply stood there, watching Scott with a look of amusement, as if they were enjoying a performance.
“Hmph! Do I really have to use that?!” As the white mist closed in and the warehouse became visible, Scott cast a final determined look and spoke.
“What’s he going to do?” Upon hearing Scott’s words, Lin Rui was filled with curiosity.
Click!
In the next instant, Scott quickly retrieved two small metal darts from his waistband and aimed them at the fully automated production line in front of him. With a swift motion, he threw the darts with force.
Boom!
As they flew through the air, the two small metal darts rapidly increased in size, crashing into the functioning production line with a loud noise. In a bold attempt to break the deadlock, Scott had devised a plan to destroy the production line in the warehouse.
