Chapter 974: Invading The Stark Base
Chapter 974: Invading The Stark Base
Rumbling~
Scott, along with three ants, was standing on the deck beneath the cabin of the plane flying towards New York at an altitude of almost 10,000 meters.
“It’s freezing! Dr. Pym, couldn’t you have made the battle suits with better heat insulation?” Scott couldn’t help but voice his complaints about the cold temperature. He was disappointed with the poor warmth retention of Antman’s battle suit.
“We’re reaching our destination, get ready to jump off the plane,” Dr. Pym reminded Scott, ignoring his complaints.
“Got it!” Scott replied loudly and organized the ant team to move toward the edge of the deck.
“A team, let’s go! B team, let’s go! C team, let’s go! Anton, don’t make me nauseous this time,” Scott said as he rode on the back of the ant named Anton.
Hoo!
In the next moment, Scott and Anton Ant, along with the three ant teams, leaped out o,f the cabin and took flight. The passengers on their way to New York would never know about the small group’s daring jump.
Huh Huh~
Scott was gripping the rope on Anton’s back as he controlled three ant teams in their rapid descent. They were quickly flying to their destination, but when they passed through the clouds, Scott was shocked by what he saw. According to Dr. Pym’s information, there should have been an abandoned warehouse beneath the clouds, but instead, there was a brand-new high-tech base, vastly different from what he had expected.
“Uh… There seems to be an issue with the mission’s destination,” Scott reported quickly after seeing the complex base below.
“This isn’t right,” Dr. Pym exclaimed upon hearing Scott’s report and viewing the video sent back by the ants in front. He was also surprised by the unexpected situation.
“Mission is canceled, Scott, return!” Dr. Pym decided to cancel the mission after realizing the destination had completely changed.
“I can try,” Scott countered, unwilling to simply retreat and continuing to fly towards the base below.
“Scott, don’t be reckless! We have other options!” Dr. Pym warned, but Scott had already flown over the base and was not leaving.
“He’ll lose the suit,” Dr. Pym worried.
“He’ll lose his life,” Hope added with a small dose of fear in her voice.
Dr. Pym and Hope simultaneously spoke in the secret underground room of the villa after witnessing Scott recklessly enter the new base. While Pym is more concerned with Antman’s suit technology and Hope with Scott’s safety, their worries were in the background as Scott had already entered the base.
Hoo ~ Pū!
Scott jumped off Anton’s back while flying to the roof of a building in the base, which was a warehouse. He rolled twice to absorb the landing impact, then quickly stood up and surveyed his surroundings.
“I landed safely, and I have reached my destination.” After scanning around, Scott continued to report.
Dī Dī Drops!
As Scott completed his report, a blaring of sirens echoed through his helmet, signaling an imminent danger. He quickly realizes that his location has been compromised, as he sees a frame of weapons emerging on the roof of the warehouse.
The weapons were equipped with long muzzles and were aimed directly at Scott, who was caught in the line of fire. It was evident that he had been detected and was now in immediate danger.
“Damn it! We’ve been spotted!” Scott cursed under his breath as he saw the weapons pointed in his direction. Realizing that he had been discovered, he sprang into action and started to maneuver in an effort to avoid the incoming fire.
Pū Pū Pū!
Just as Scott leaped away from his previous location, three laser beams shot past where he had just been standing. The defense system of Stark’s base was incredibly advanced, detecting even the smallest of movements, and Scott’s presence was not going unnoticed. With no orders to the contrary, the base’s defense system would carry out the most thorough plan to eliminate the perceived threat.
Scott let out a shout of terror as he felt the power of the laser beam pass by him. “Ahhh! I’m under attack! It’s a laser beam!” he cried.
Dr. Pym’s voice boomed in the background, “Scott, the mission is canceled! Leave immediately!” as he saw the reaction of the base to Scott’s presence.
The training session had exceeded all expectations, and the defense system of Stark’s base had exceeded the limit of what Scott could handle. It was uncertain whether he would be able to make it out alive if he tried to leave now
The training this time has completely exceeded the original expectations, and the base defense system of Stark has exceeded the limit that Scott can handle. It is not known whether he can save his life if he leaves now.
“Hank! We can’t just sit by and watch Scott get hurt, contact the Avengers right away!” Hope urgently instructed Dr. Pym as she watched Scott struggle against the laser beam attacks on the monitor.
Dr. Pym had the ability to directly contact SHIELD and could make this situation clear, potentially saving Scott’s life.
However, even if he acted immediately, the process of informing Tony and receiving orders from him would take time, and Scott could be severely impacted by the defense system of the base by that point. It was a race against time to save Scott and they couldn’t afford to wait.
Pū Pū Pū!
“Ahh! I need to hide! I need to hide!” With laser beams hot on his trail, Scott frantically raced towards the edge of the roof, dodging the incoming fire.
Meanwhile, Dr. Pym and Hope were growing increasingly concerned about Scott’s safety in the background, but Scott had no time to think about that as he focused on evading the relentless attack.

Brush!
Without hesitation, Scott jumped off the roof the next moment. The laser beams chased after him, but Scott plunged straight into the grass in front of the warehouse. The tall grass proved to be a hindrance to the laser beams’ targeting system and Scott was momentarily able to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he knew that he couldn’t stay in the same spot for too long and needed to come up with a plan to escape the dangerous situation.
Swipe~
Just as Scott caught his breath and was considering whether to give up the mission and make a run for it, he heard the sound of an aircraft engine in the air.
Looking up, he saw two tall soldiers with tactical goggles, dressed in combat gear, flying towards him on Hoverboards, weaving through the tall grass like towering trees.
This added another level of complexity to the already dangerous situation and Scott realized he needed to act fast to escape.
“Dammit! Who are these guys?!” Seeing the two formidable warriors, Scott broke out in a sweat.
As Dr. Pym continued to shout for the retreat plan to be canceled, Scott watched as the two giants slowly landed on the grass not far from him. Their tactical goggles constantly scanned the area, leaving Scott feeling even more exposed and vulnerable.
