American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 107: The Ten Rings Gang and Afghanistan (5)

The dull and noisy sound broke the silence, and Wanda, who had wrapped herself in an old blanket, suddenly woke up and suddenly found herself sleeping in this terrified environment for an unknown number of hours.

Follow the plane to a strange country, experience the war, feel the pain, and then be captured, kidnapped, and threatened with death by one of the initiators of it all...

After experiencing so many things in just a few days, no matter for physical or psychological, no matter how strong people are, they can't bear it.

Wanda held her head that seemed to be filled with iron sand, not daring to move easily, she felt that even if she gently shifted her center of gravity, her head would drag her body back to the bed, if this thing under her could really be called a bed...

After struggling for a moment, Wanda finally gave up resistance and fell her head back to the still soft pillow, and in an instant dust and sand rose from the pillow, the rough and jerky taste instantly poured into her mouth, if she had just arrived here she would probably cough non-stop, but now she was used to the dry air that always smelled of gunpowder and the sand that could not be avoided anywhere.

She looked ahead with a dull gaze, in front of her was covered by an irregular and different shades of charred black, and from the gaps in the partially shattered wall, she could vaguely see the original color of the wall, which reminded her of the war she experienced when she was ten years old, Wanda couldn't help but close her eyes, the memory of that time had gradually faded under the washing of ten years, but only the dark and neat line of subtitles printed on a bright silver bomb became clearer with time.

Stark Industries.

In the past, whenever this memory emerged, Wanda's heart would be occupied by anger and pain, but today it is mixed with a little confusion in these two strong emotions.

Can't delve into that emotion! If you continue to explore, then the determination to take revenge will also be shaken!

A strong premonition made Wanda suddenly open her eyes and press the memory back to the bottom of her heart again, and in order to avoid the disturbing wall, she lay flat and looked up.

What appeared in her vision was not the ceiling or the roof, but the indigo and red sky mixed with the setting sun.

Wait a minute... Sunset?

This discovery made Wanda's mind clear instantly, she rolled over and got up, fumbling with her hands in her pockets, trying to find out the time on her phone, she clearly remembered that she fell asleep before dusk, and she now slept for a whole day and a night if not only ten minutes.

"Bang!"

As Wanda rummaged through every pocket on her body, the worn wooden door was violently kicked open, and a short woman entered the room, which should be more aptly described as a wreck.

She was playing with a cheap lighter in her hand, and after meeting Wanda in her eye, she tucked it into her uniform pocket.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

"Hello... Zaina..."

Wanda's helpless sigh, the other party's playful tone made her immediately understand the answer to the question, but the good news was that she did not miss any important events.

"It's almost dinner time, and your companions don't want to wake you up, but I don't want to hear Ling shouting that you're hungry at night, and if you don't get up now, you'd better make it until noon tomorrow."

Wanda nodded slightly in response, but Zaina turned away without looking.

"This place is so big, you go to your companions to eat, but it's best not to run blindly, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if you step on something strange, by the way, some of these strange things will only stain your beautiful leather boots, and some will directly take away your beautiful leather boots."

This wasn't the first time Wanda had heard a similar warning, and now that Wanda was a little numb, she tidied up the folds of her clothes a little and kicked the door open like Zaina did when she entered.

Outside the house was not the hollowed-out and elaborate military fortress, but a camp of several large tents sewn from leather and several dilapidated huts.

At the very center of the camp is a well-established house, which stands tall in this ruin, and at this time there is a little light in this house, and the street of solid earth connects the entire camp, and continues to extend outward, winding into the distance.

This is a tribal territory belonging to Zaina.

Ever since Peter and Raza finished negotiating, their group had followed Zaina here.

Raza could not fully trust Peter now, but he could not treat him as a prisoner or a prisoner, and if Peter could hand over a little corroborating information or any guarantee, he would even treat Peter and his party as guests, after all, he could not refuse the future that Peter depicted, nor could he refuse such a huge benefit.

Caught in a dilemma, Raza finally gave them a "partner" who would not feel distressed even if they were all destroyed, to take care of and supervise them.

This decision naturally caused Zaina's dissatisfaction, she had complained more than once that she was not a nanny, but she did not want to contradict Raza because of such a trivial matter, so the treatment she gave Peter was naturally no better, which can be seen from the roofless house where Wanda lived.

Basically, Peter's group was treated much differently than her soldiers.

Probably thinking that this is really not a strategic place, these soldiers in the tribe can't make the mistake of the American army sending people to deal with it, and the soldiers in the camp are tearing wood from the ruined buildings and building one bonfire after another.

Clusters of sparks soared into the air, circling and flying like a swarm of fireflies.

Some of the soldiers gathered in pairs in front of the bonfire, silently tearing round naan cakes into their mouths, and few people chatted and talked.

Wanda soon saw Peter and Pietro in front of a bonfire, an iron plate in front of them was already filled with rising hot naan, but neither of them meant to eat, they were now together to discuss something in a low voice, and after seeing Wanda coming, Pietro took the initiative to interrupt the conversation and handed the iron plate in front of Wanda to Wanda.

And Wanda also unceremoniously came to her brother, who was ten minutes older than herself, pulled out a piece of naan from the iron plate in his hand, tore off a piece and threw it into her mouth, she scanned the circle, and saw that no one paid attention to this place before asking in a low voice:

"What did I miss?"

"You haven't missed it yet."

Pietro glanced at Peter, then leaned into Wanda's ear and whispered:

"Tony Stark has arrived here, but there is a small problem... Captain America is here too..."
