Chapter 31: Support Mission

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hello, this is Phil. Come to the Steck Industrial Energy Center immediately. The location has been sent to your phone. Bring all the equipment.” Wesley, who had been waiting for a few days, finally received the order. He opened the armory, changed into a training suit and military boots, took the elevator downstairs, and drove straight out.

As he drove, he put on his earpiece radio and took out his phone. He opened the email on it and downloaded it. Soon, a map appeared and a GPS location appeared. “Are phones so advanced now?” Wesley muttered and then focused on driving. Soon, he arrived at Stark Industrial Energy Center. It was starting to get dark, but Phil didn’t seem to have arrived at the door yet.

He got out of the car, opened the trunk, put on the tactical vest, and then began to equip himself. He brought his pistol and carbine with him. These could be used in battle at any time, but they had no effect on the Iron Man Armor. In the end, he still needed a sniper rifle. He looked around. The building opposite was not bad. From a high vantage point, it was easy to control the trajectory. Moreover, it was not far away and he could use an AWP sniper rifle. However, it was also easy to be discovered here. He looked further and took out a military telescope. This kind of telescope that could calculate distance was very convenient.

After looking around, he finally found a commercial building about 2,500 meters away. It wasn’t very tall, only about a dozen floors, but it was definitely not going to be discovered. It was just a little far away, and he would have to see what he could do. But it didn’t matter. “So what if I miss? I’m a trainee agent.” Wesley couldn’t forget about it. He put away his binoculars and began to wait. He now had the urge to rush in and kill the big villain, but it wasn’t realistic. Who knew if he was wearing equipment?

On the principle that it was better to avoid trouble, Wesley did not force his way in. Instead, he waited by the back door.

An Audi sedan pulled up in front of his car and Wesley stepped out. Pepper Potts, who had just gotten out of the car, was startled and unconsciously backed away. Fortunately, Phil stepped out.

“Don’t be nervous. This is our Bureau’s ‘Ace’ agent. He came here specially to support us,” Phil said.

Wesley was speechless. “I’m an intern agent, okay? Ace? The ID of an ace agent says intern, okay?” Wesley cursed in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud.

“Wesley, find a place outside.”

“I’ve already found it. It’s 2,500 meters away and you can observe the environment here very well. If you encounter any problems, evacuate immediately. I can support you.”

“What? 2500 meters? How can he support us? Shouldn’t he go in with us?” Pepper hugged her head and screamed.

“I’m the ace, remember? This distance is very close to me.” Wesley looked at Phil as he spoke, emphasizing the word ” ace.”

“That’s right, he’s the ace. Let’s hurry up.” Phil skipped the topic and urged him. Wesley got in the car and drove away. A few minutes later, he came to the place he had chosen and went straight in. The security guard saw him armed and carrying a big box in. They were extremely nervous.

“Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau, requisition your rooftop.” Wesley showed his ID as he walked, and an eagle-shaped badge outside the ID was very conspicuous. The security guard nodded nervously and then watched Wesley take the elevator upstairs.

“Hey, should we call the police?” a security guard asked.

“Call the police? Didn’t you hear him say that it’s a government department? Don’t be a busybody. The surveillance cameras here have been recorded, so it won’t affect us. Just stay here.” The night guard said and then went to look at the surveillance cameras.

Wesley went to the top floor, opened the box directly, and began to assemble the Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel sniper rifle. He selected a bullet and alternately pressed an armor-piercing bullet and an ordinary bullet into the cartridge. Then, he clipped the bracket to the cofferdam on the roof, took out a long-range scope, installed it, and began to debug it.

“Apple calculates the shooting conditions and reports the adjustment at any time.” Wesley loaded the bullet directly and then began to observe with the scope. This time, he used the scope without any electronic equipment. It was completely an ordinary optical scope. He did not know how advanced the Iron Man Armor was, so he directly used the optical scope without any other functions.

“Understood. Calculating temperature, humidity, and wind force through your skin, correcting trajectory and adjusting the scope.” Wesley began to adjust the high and low knobs and left and right adjustment wheels of the scope according to Apple’s calculations. Although it was night, Stark Industrial Energy Center was very bright and well lit. Wesley did not use night vision equipment.

When he was ready, Wesley waited. “Why hasn’t it started yet? They’ve been in there for a long time.” As soon as he finished speaking, Pepper walked out. She seemed to be talking to someone. It should be a phone call. There was no sound in Wesley’s earpiece. Phil shouldn’t have hung up.

“Hey, Phil, are you still there?” Wesley called.

“Ahem, I’m still here, but a big guy is going out. Can your sniper rifle penetrate his armor?” Phil asked with difficulty.

“I don’t know, but I can tell you that there’s a big guy coming out of the ground, behind Pepper.” Wesley saw a huge silver-white Iron Man Armor, but then he also saw Iron Man flying from afar.

“Hurry up and shoot to cover her. We can’t let her get hurt.”

“No need. The other guy is already here.” Wesley had no intention of sacrificing himself for others, but Tony Stark came at the right time. “Oh, it was so intense. The little guy who came later directly hit the big guy and sent him flying. They are now in the car lane. Oh, a car flew up. The force is absolutely huge.”

“Wesley, I don’t need you to do a live report. Pay attention to your target. You can shoot him directly if you have the chance. I’ll see how my colleague is doing now.”

“It is recommended that you leave the energy center. The electromagnetic arc reactor there is a time bomb. The battle of two iron men may later affect there.”

“Thank you. I’ll leave right away.” The call ended and Wesley began to observe with the scope. The armor-piercing bullets probably could not be penetrated. Wesley was very sure of this. He could only wait until they lost their helmets.

Wesley glanced at Pepper again. She was waving in his direction, and then she pointed at the two Tin Men tangled together over there. The meaning was clear, but Wesley would ignore her.

“Damn it, what ace? He still hasn’t fired.”
