Chapter 391 Fantastic Four: The Prison Break Begins
Upon seeing her communicator crushed to pieces, the invisible woman immediately flew into a rage: "What are you doing?!"
For the Invisible Woman, this communicator was her only means of finding her family, and how could she not be angry when Iron Man crushed it like that?
But when she actually wanted to vent her anger on the person in front of her, she looked up and met Tony's gaze, but she faltered in the face of his terrifying eyes.
"I'm asking you!"
Tony, instantly enraged, practically gritted his teeth as he uttered, each word distinct: "Did you reply?"
Susan nodded hesitantly.
On the other end of the communicator were her husband, friends, and family, so of course she would try to reply!
Is trying to contact lost relatives a sin?
"I'm sorry, Susan, it was my fault."
The Invisible Woman had no idea why Iron Man had suddenly become so furious, just as she was now completely baffled as to why the storm that had been brewing on his face had suddenly vanished.
A slightly flustered Tony rubbed his temples, regaining his usual carefree and relaxed demeanor: "I've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and I keep getting inexplicably angry."
"Don't worry about the communicator. The communication frequency is fixed, and I'll make you a new one right away."
With the communicator crumpled in his hand, Tony, realizing he was losing control, repeatedly promised Susan, "I promise, you'll see your family soon."
And this "very soon" will be very soon in the literal sense—this is what Doctor Doom thought deep in Tony's heart.
Reed is also a highly capable and intelligent man. Once Susan sends her reply, it won't be long before he finds a way to connect the two universes.
As mentioned before, the outcome of a person being hit and killed by a car cannot be rewritten. After struggling for a long time, the only thing that can be changed is the type of car that was hit and killed.
If something bad is destined to happen, it will happen no matter how many times it happens.
Based on Doctor Doom's past experience, once Reed enters this universe by ringing the doorbell on the other side, the bells of doom will also be rung at the same time.

"Are you ready?"
Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards tapped and pointed on the blackboard, explaining the upcoming plan to Johnny Depp, whose literacy level was practically nonexistent: "In a moment, I'll activate the ship's new warp drive, and you'll be responsible for accelerating us from this angle—"

"Are we really going to leave without saying goodbye?" Johnny snapped open another can of ice-cold beer from this universe's Earth. "I don't think these Kryptonians are all that bad. That young guy was actually pretty nice to us."
hiccup~
Johnny was referring to Lor Zod, the little boy who was less than 1.5 meters tall. Johnny had asked him to help him buy things on Earth quite a bit during this time.
"Don't let this interfere with our business, Johnny."
The Thing, Ben Affleck, smacked Reed, his brother-in-law who was beholden to him, on the back of the head, nearly smashing his brains: "Ouch!"
The stone man was still thinking about the woman who had pointed them to their escape route, and felt he shouldn't abandon her and run away alone: "Before we escape from here, we still have to rescue—that—Ko—something—Da—something again?"
However, Xinghuo's name, Tamaran, was still too difficult for Earthlings to pronounce, and even at this point, he still hadn't remembered the other person's full name.
"The one who was imprisoned by the Kryptonians? Her name is Coridal, right?" Johnny didn't remember either.
Reed finally couldn't take it anymore: "It's all because of Corianda! Try drinking less beer, you two! I don't even know what to say to you!"
However, Reed should perhaps be thankful that Johnny and Ben were so relaxed and natural, their stupidity so seamless, which might be one of the reasons why the Kryptonians didn't bother to focus more attention on them.
Another more important reason is that these Kryptonians must have other fronts in the universe. In less than half a day, in addition to the ships that passed through the Korpy Belt and headed into the inner solar system, many ships and soldiers from the Kryptonian fleet sailed out of the solar system.
This resulted in almost no one paying attention to them except for the short guy who was delivering supplies to them. In the huge hangar, only Reed and his group were active.
Reed quickly made some minor modifications to the spaceship, which had broken into two pieces, so that it could perform an emergency jump.
The target point for the jump is the location from which Susan's communication source is transmitted.
"How can we save him?"
"Don't we already know where their room is? And they're on the same spaceship as us."
Reed then drew their attention back to the blackboard, which was covered with coordinate systems and diagrams: "Assuming our current location is the origin (0, 0, 0), then the location of her room is (12, 64, 16), as long as our momentum is greater than ————"
The Human Torch and the Thing exchanged bewildered glances, then made the same request to Reed—
Let's speak English!
"————Alright then."
Seeing that knowledge was unlikely to enter the minds of these two friends through normal means, Reed's Mr. Wonderful Classroom had to temporarily suspend the lesson, skipping the theoretical part and going straight to practical application: "Do as I say."
A moment later, the three of them had already taken their positions: with themselves as the origin, they extended their rubber arms and hands, tightly hugging Reed the Thing, Ben the Thing who acted as the stone, and Human Torch who lent a hand to the outside of the Thing.
"That's exactly how you do it—"
Reed spun around and fired, while the Human Torch used his flight ability to provide acceleration. Then, at just the right speed, he flung the Stone Golem out, smashing through about thirteen walls before reaching the cage where Starfire was.
"You should have said that earlier!"
Johnny, who was responsible for providing the sling with greater inertial acceleration, finally understood: "The three of us are the sling, you're the arm and the pebble!"
"That's right, but be careful where you hit, and make sure you don't crash into the outer wall of the warship."
Within just a few hours, Reed had figured out the structural strength of the Kryptonian warship: "The hardness of the outer armor and the inner material is vastly different. If the trajectory I launch deviates, Johnny, you must be responsible for correcting the trajectory. After smashing open the enemy's location, the ship will start up simultaneously, and then I will pull you back, understand?"
Because of Reed, the rubber man, the Fantastic Four's style is indeed quite bizarre in most cases.
Johnny may not be good at momentum calculations or force analysis, but he's a master at turning into a slingshot and causing destruction. He can't wait to transform into a giant windmill: "What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"
Mr. Fantastic began swinging the stone golem at the end of his arm, with himself as the center, and the entire hangar was immediately filled with the whooshing sound of wind.
"Wuhu!"
With a cheer from the Human Torch after he swung his hand, he and the Stone Golem transformed into the most powerful slingshot projectile in history, shooting out and smashing through layers of walls. At the same time, the alarms inside the Kryptonian warship sounded.
