A few seconds later, the call connected.
"Phil, what's the situation on their end?" Tony's voice sounded a bit urgent.
"We just received word that a serious accident occurred at the scene. Agent Makima... is currently critically injured, and her survival is uncertain."
Coulson's voice carried a hint of anxiety.
"I knew your plan wasn't reliable!" Tony felt a wave of inexplicable irritability.
"Listen, Phil, if your people can't handle it—even though I don't want to fight that freak in the freezing cold—if Makima... damn it, I mean, if the situation spirals out of control, do you need me to provide backup?"
Despite his sharp tongue, Tony's "excessive self-consciousness" always led him to shoulder responsibility at the first opportunity.
Especially when his teammates were in trouble.
Even if he had known this teammate for less than a day.
One could call him a control freak or a megalomaniac, but it had to be admitted.
This trait was quite endearing most of the time.
This was also what Su Modie appreciated most about Tony, because she was also very protective of her own.
On the other end of the line, Coulson's voice was still a bit hurried, but clearly much calmer than before: "...That won't be necessary, Mr. Stark. Although Agent Makima is seriously injured, the situation on-site has been initially contained."
"Contained? Has the U.S. military's support arrived?"
"No."
Coulson paused for a moment, seemingly confirming the latest real-time footage.
"It's Consultant Reze. She is... hunting the Abomination."
Tony was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, an absurd feeling welling up in his heart.
Though he hated to admit it, the moment he heard the name "Reze," an inexplicable sense of security shamefully surged within him.
Just a month ago, this girl was the nightmare who extorted two million from him.
Now that their roles had shifted, this former "threat" had unexpectedly transformed into his greatest reliance at this moment.
Use that energy you had when blackmailing me and give that monster a good thrashing!
Tony thought to himself.
However, Tony had no idea that Reze wasn't even being serious when she blackmailed him; it was like playing with a child. If Reze truly let loose, the shadow over his psyche would likely be several times larger... In Alaska, above the howling winds of the snowy plains.
Boom—!
The thick concrete wall was smashed to pieces as the Abomination, shrouded in rubble, charged out of the cryogenic cell.
"Get lost! You annoying fly!!"
The Abomination roared in fury.
He had never fought such a frustrating battle.
Even during that time with the Hulk, it wasn't like this; at least they traded punches.
But this Bomb Girl in front of him refused to engage him head-on.
Whenever he swung his fist to crush her, she would use the violent reaction force from an explosion to draw a bizarre trajectory in mid-air, easily dodging the Abomination's strikes that were powerful enough to shatter buildings.
Flames erupted from Reze's feet.
She completed a graceful backflip in the air and landed steadily on a heavy military Humvee by the roadside.
She tilted her pitch-black Bomb head: "Running so slowly? Mr. Frozen Pork, surely you're not spent already?"
"Bullshit!!" The Abomination was provoked again upon hearing this. He lunged toward the Humvee, the veins on his arms bulging.
With a roar, he actually lifted the several-ton military armored vehicle right up!
Seeing this, Reze quickly jumped back.
Immediately after, a massive shadow loomed over her.
"Give me... death!!"
Accompanied by a roar, the Abomination slammed the multi-ton military Humvee toward Reze!
Facing this blow that felt like a mountain collapsing, Reze did not dodge.
Instead, she adjusted her posture in mid-air, her right leg snapping back as the fuse at her heel flared brightly.
BOOM!
A directional blast of thrust erupted from her heel!
With the help of this terrifying propulsion, Reze's slender leg acted like a battleaxe, kicking the flying Humvee with heavy force!
"Take it back!"
Boom!!
The Humvee that was originally hurled at her was actually kicked back at an even faster speed!
With a whistling wind, it struck the Abomination square in the face.
"Puegh!"
The Abomination hadn't expected this move at all.
The massive impact sent him stumbling backward repeatedly.
Finally, he was pinned under the mangled Humvee, sliding over a dozen meters away.
"You damn... bastard!!"
The Abomination pushed away the scrap metal of the car body, his face bleeding from the nose, shaking with rage.
But just then, the beam of a distant searchlight swept over—U.S. military reinforcements were surrounding the area.
Although he didn't fear these ants, if he were suppressed by heavy firepower, that Bomb Girl would surely take the opportunity to kill him.
"Roar!!"
The Abomination let out an unwilling roar, turned, and sprinted toward the lightless depths of the snowy plains.
That was a no-man's land; as long as he escaped into the deep mountains, no one could catch him!
"Hmph, trying to run?"
Firelight erupted from Reze's feet. Relying on continuous explosions, she skimmed the ground like a black monstrous bird, in hot pursuit.
The two of them raced through the blizzard, one after the other, soon leaving the U.S. military far behind.
All around was a vast expanse of white snow, and the howling wind masked almost every sound.
Watching the figure fleeing in distress ahead, Reze subconsciously lowered her flight altitude.
However.
The Abomination was definitely not just a Gamma-mutated monster; he was a soldier who had been immersed in the battlefield for many years with rich combat experience!
The moment Reze lowered her altitude.
The tan figure that had been running headlong through the snow suddenly—braked—without warning.
His massive feet dug deep into the frozen earth, carving out two long trenches.
Immediately after, he turned, crouched, and gathered power.
This sequence of movements was too fast for a monster weighing several tons.
Boom!
A deep crater several meters in diameter instantly collapsed into the ground.
The Abomination, like a spring compressed to its limit, used the reaction force to suddenly launch himself into the air!
He actually managed to intercept Reze's flight path!
In an instant, Reze's field of vision was covered by a massive hand covered in bone spurs.
"Got you! Little Fly!!"
The Abomination laughed hideously, his massive palm clutching Reze's body.
Under this immense force, the sound of Reze's bones shattering could even be heard.
"Get down there!!"
Without the slightest hint of mercy, he slammed Reze toward the ground like throwing a javelin.
Crack! Boom!
Reze's body smashed through a fir tree as thick as two men's embrace, finally crashing heavily into the snow, creating a deep pit.
Blood stained the pure white snow red.
Her limbs were twisted, and her chest was caved in; she looked like a broken ragdoll.
"Ha... haha..."
The Abomination landed with a boom, kicking up a wave of snow.
He panted heavily, stroking toward the dying figure at the bottom of the pit, his eyes full of cruel pleasure and the arrogance of a victor: "Do you see? This is the difference between us."
A Healthy Smile
He looked down at Reze from above, his voice echoing in the blizzard:
"I can make countless mistakes; it doesn't matter even if I'm blown away by you a hundred times..."
"But you... Little Fly."
The Abomination grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs: "You only need to make one mistake to be beaten into pulp by me!"
However, just as the Abomination was about to actually do so, a light chuckle sounded from the bottom of the pit.
Reze's left hand, which wasn't completely broken, reached up and lightly grasped the air.
A full blood bag appeared out of thin air in her hand—it was an "first aid blood pack."
"Wha..."
The Abomination was stunned.
What was that?
Reze crushed the blood bag, pouring the blood into her mouth filled with sharp shark teeth.
Gulp, gulp.
As the liquid went down her throat, a bizarre scene occurred.
