American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 177 Sentinel Robot

When the rioters and mutants had not yet met, in another place, in a silent underground safe room, a bright incandescent light slowly lit up. Bruce Wayne stayed in the basement, observing the situation outside through electronic equipment with lingering fear.

Just now, the King of Symbiotes was rioting and passed through this place. The huge amount of energy that erupted was almost unprecedented and even scared Bruce.

In a hurry, he was forced to evacuate to the basement. Facing the airtight basement in front of him, Bruce was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Alfred took the initiative to stand up and proposed:

"Master, should we contact the American government first? Energy of this level... I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome for us to handle it alone."

Alfred was worried that the riot of the Symbiote King was an uninvited guest with ill intentions. If that was the case, it would be impossible for them to maintain the stability of this place by themselves. They had to rely on the power of the U.S. federal government. Although they were rich enough to rival a country, their military strength was ultimately no match for the federal army, which spent trillions of dollars every year.

Hearing this, Bruce couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It was obvious that he didn't really want to contact the government's army.

It can be seen from his previous initiative to contact Kailus that he would rather defend peace in his own way through cooperation or recruiting talents.

This is his principle of doing things.

The tragic memories of his childhood made him suspicious of the outside world most of the time.

Therefore, Bruce chose to make more powerful equipment. At the same time, he took the initiative to contact the powerful mutant Kaelus, trying to gain his trust.

However, this persistent belief was a little shaken at this moment. Bruce listened to the words of the old butler whom he trusted the most, and couldn't help but recall the horrific nuclear explosion scene that Kailus had shown earlier.

If chaos magic really exists on Earth, then it's like the birth of a nuclear bomb. If you have the first one, you may have the second one.

Even if Kailus himself does not participate in the threat, people like him, who possess similar terrifying strength to him, cannot be sure that they will not pose a threat to the world.

Bruce's mind was in a mess.

However, Alfred's eyes gradually became firm.

He understood the reason for Bruce's hesitation, which was the inexplicable tacit understanding that had developed from decades of interaction with the young man.

"Master, I understand your thoughts. Those people in the federal government are indeed a group of greedy guys. However, greedy bugs also have their time to play their role, and now is that time."

Alfred's inducement tactics quickly took effect.

"you're right."

Bruce let out a long breath, his forehead covered with sweat. It seemed that he was convinced by Alfred.

"I'll contact the feds. Hopefully those idiots can come up with something real."

At this time, Bruce was filled with self-doubt. Even if he contacted the federal government, could they really send out a force comparable to chaos magic?
Are they going to launch a nuclear bomb on the American mainland? This is impossible. But other than nuclear bombs, are there really any weapons that can subdue this kind of power?

However, this is not what Bruce needs to worry about.

Compared to this, he would rather take action.

Soon, Bruce picked up the phone and dialed a number that had been in his address book for a long time.

Bruce's heart beat faster when he picked up the phone.

This phone call is not something that ordinary people can have.

Toot——

"Hello... This is the Pentagon. Who are you?"

"Help me get through to the general," Bruce replied calmly.

"...May I ask who you are?" "No need to tell you, you just need to tell the general that a kid named Wayne is looking for him, and he will know."

"...Please wait a moment."

The Pentagon, the highest authority in the United States responsible for national defense, is directly under the jurisdiction of the president. But only in name.

In fact, the factions within the Pentagon are complicated, and most of them are old generals who have been in high positions for decades. The president serves a four-year term, so it is impossible for him to get too familiar with military guys, unless he is originally from the military or his family has deep roots in the military.

Therefore, only in very rare circumstances will the military fully comply with the president's orders.

However, Bruce was not worried because he already knew about this matter, so he did not even mention the president's name.

Because, in some cases, his last name is more useful than the president's first name.

It would be impossible for the Wayne family to have been so deeply rooted in the local state for so long without some connection.

Bruce's father and grandfather have given so many greenbacks to the military masters for generations. Now, it's time for these greenbacks to come into play.

Soon, there was a new voice on the other end of the line.

It was a rough voice, slightly low and hoarse.

"...Wayne?"

"General, I have something to discuss with you. I met a powerful mutant..."

Bruce said with a humble tone.

It was because the person on the other end of the phone was not only about the same age as his grandfather, but also one of the most powerful people in America.

Perhaps on the surface, the president and the vice president are the heads of a country, but, as the saying goes, power consists only of fists. Among those who hold military power, this old general is the one who truly controls the ability to press the red button on nuclear weapons in the United States.

"Powerful mutant? How powerful?"

The old voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be smiling with some curiosity.

"I would venture to guess that he might be able to rival a nuclear warhead..."

After he finished speaking, the general's voice visibly froze.

"Bruce…this isn't funny."

Bruce just sighed and shook his head.

Indeed, as he expected, the general did not believe that there was such magical power as chaos magic in this world.

However, all this happened right under Bruce's nose, and she had no way of explaining it except with the naked facts.

"If you don't mind, I can send you the energy detection data later, but right now, this is not the most important thing. I want to know, has the research on the robot called Sentinel that you mentioned to me before been successful?"

The Sentinel robot, a technological gem that is enough to shock the world, symbolizes the pinnacle of human beings' research and development of weapons to fight against mutants.

A machine that can simulate all mutant abilities and is completely obedient to human command.

Right now, this seems to be the only possibility.

Can kill Riot, the king of the symbiotes who devoured millions of his fellow symbiotes.
