Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brandt hadn't expected her opponent to be so aggressive. Caught off guard, her body jerked violently from the force of the shots.
This exposed the flaws of the inferior Extremis virus variant—unlike Killian, she couldn't breathe fire.
Their speed wasn't particularly fast, and without the ability to breathe fire, their only means of ranged attack was firearms.
But Brandt's little handgun was completely powerless against the clone soldier's heavy weapon!
She barely managed to land a shot on the clone's shoulder before the powerful rifle suppressed her completely—leaving her no choice but to take the hits.
After Ye Li fired a few more bullets...
The female Extremis warrior, whose body hadn't fully healed, collapsed to the ground like a rag, barely breathing...
Ye Li wasn't surprised by this.
The Extremis virus couldn't achieve full regeneration like Deadpool or Wolverine; at best, it was on par with the Lizard serum—fatal injuries could still kill them.
"Watch out!!"
Tony suddenly shouted at "Ye Li," raising his repulsor and aiming at Savin behind him—
But it was already too late.
Savin, who had crept up during the firefight, shoved his searing-hot, Extremis-enhanced arm straight through the clone soldier's torso!
Szzzt~
At the same time, a viscous substance spurted out.
"You're good... but unfortunately..."
Savin withdrew his arm and sneered, "...you're up against us. We can afford multiple mistakes. But you? You only get one shot..."
"Heh... yeah, not bad... kinda thrilling~"
Ye Li casually brushed his dark hair back with one hand while controlling the clone with the other—
CRACK!
The soldier suddenly spun around and caught Savin in a chokehold.
Sizzle…
Crrrack—
Smoke and charred flesh rose from the clone's body, while Savin's bones were shattered under the death grip.
"What! You—!"
Savin couldn't believe that even in death, the opponent was still fighting so desperately, unleashing such inhuman strength!
Was this guy not afraid of pain or death?
"The one who only gets one chance… is you."
Three high-explosive (CBCG) grenades on the clone soldier's waist lit up with a geometric blue glow.
—These were weapons powered by Infinity Stone energy…
Savin was in utter disbelief at Ye Li's actions.
"You're insane!!"
The next second.
Boom!!
Blue energy exploded outward—!
A wave of blue energy exploded outward, sweeping in all directions—
Even Tony, far off in the distance, felt the shockwave rushing over him!
When the wind settled…
"What...?"
Tony stared at where "Ye Li" had been. He was gone—blown to pieces.
"That's it? He's just… gone?"
"No way, right?"
…..
Sunnyvale Hotel.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman were having a candlelight dinner.
The beauty was enjoying her meal, but the man across from her, wearing high-tech glasses, seemed occupied with something else.
A moment later…
Ye Li temporarily took off his holographic control glasses and looked at the curvy beauty. "It seems like you're satisfied with the food here~"
"Mmh~ I am, but… cough cough!"
Lewis coughed twice, choking on her meal.
She picked up the prepared water glass on the table, took a few sips to soothe her throat, and then continued, "It's just... you prepared so much, it feels a bit wasteful. I can't even finish it all."
"Hehe~"
Ye Li smiled like a gentleman and didn't say anything further. After controlling the clone soldier in the battle against Savin, an interesting idea popped into his mind, and he was now considering its feasibility—
The same clone soldiers, when controlled by different people, performed differently.
So…
What if a fully immersive holographic shooter game was developed…
Selecting top players to control clone soldiers…
Making them think they were completing game missions…
"Hmm... this actually sounds pretty interesting..."
Not only could he make money from the game, but he could also get players to pay for the opportunity to carry out 'exclusive secret missions'...
Ye Li was still contemplating the feasibility of this amusing idea.
Meanwhile, the beauty had finished her meal. She took a few napkins to wiped her mouth, and put on her coat. She stood by the door to say goodbye.
"I'll come see you next time, Li~"
"Oh."
Ye Li snapped back to reality when he saw Lewis standing by the door, neatly dressed and smiling. "You're leaving already?"
"Do you want me to stay a little longer?"
Lewis blinked expectantly. "Even though I'm full, spending more time with you wouldn't be so bad~"
"Uh..."
Ye Li had initially wanted to ask Lewis about Jane, since the Nine Realms Convergence was approaching.
But then he thought again…
Asking one beauty about another… seemed inappropriate…
It was one thing when they had just met, but now, it definitely wasn't right to do so…
Besides, later…
Kate Mara was also coming.
And what he had planned with her wasn't just dinner…
In short, his schedule was pretty tight.
"Forget it, I'll ask another day."
Having made up his mind, Ye Li quickly found an excuse and said, "Uh... I was just wondering if you forgot something...?"
He had just asked casually.
But Lewis suddenly gave a mysterious smile and said, "...I left it right beside you~"
Click—
The beauty closed the door behind her, as if leaving behind a cryptic message before departing.
However, just before the door fully shut…
She leaned in through the door gap and added, "I modified it. The signal range is very wide~"
Ye Li: "Uh... ⊙▽⊙..."
