American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 115: Iron Man's Meeting with "Batman"

"Duh! Duh! Duh! “

The crisp percussion sound echoed through the cave, playing a simple but powerful beat, and one after another, the few people working together were excited by this primitive play, and their hand movements could not help but speed up a little.

And the player of "music", Tony Stark, danced silently with a hammer.

Compared with his glamorous appearance before the attack, he looked very downcast at this time.

He didn't have an expensive suit, only a dirty black vest, but the "heart" that glowed azure blue was extremely shining.

He had no deodorant, the sour smell of sweat and the pungent smell of gunpowder, but the smell was more attractive than any perfume.

He doesn't have a luxury car, but he has steel and flame for him to drive,

He also did not have a supermodel beauty to accompany him, but he had several more partners around him whose lives were chained together and determined to fight together.

Tony tapped heavily on the anvil, and the increasingly thick sound caused Wanda to put down their work and look at Tony.

At this time, they faintly heard the roar and felt the thunder, they seemed to be in an endless storm, and each lightning strike was shaking their hearts and making them resonate with it.

I don't know how long it took, Tony finally put down the hammer in his hand, and he used the iron tongs to lift the mask that had been tempered thousands of times on the anvil.

He gazed solemnly at the simple steel mask, staring at the hollowness on the mask, as if as the creator was giving soul to the mechanical creation.

Wanda looked at Tony's figure and couldn't help but think of his weird and absurd answer when she finally asked Peter about his purpose in attacking and imprisoning Tony with the Ten Rings.

"Because I'm not a hero."

Wanda clearly remembered the loss in Peter's tone when he said the word hero.

"Although I know the path to the right, bright way, I will never walk, not in the past, and not now, for it is a path made of principles towards high quality and ideals, and at the same time a path full of pain and torment.

But this path has to be set foot by someone, so I chose Tony Stark, and I joined forces with the Ten Rings to push him onto this cross and let him carry the weight for me and for everyone else.

So if you really want to seek revenge on him, believe me, when he chooses to carry this cross and go down this path, your revenge can already be declared successful, because then you will not have to torture him at all, he himself will torture himself, by his conscience, by his sense of responsibility, and by those whom he protects and is favored. "

"Swoosh."

The sudden explosion brought back Wanda's distant thoughts, she looked at Tony who had just finished quenching the mask, but she couldn't help but see Tony wearing a golden and red armor, but half of his body was scorched, lying weakly on the roots of the tree that had been turned out of the ground, looking into the distance.

Tony threw the helmet that had just finished quenching and was still emitting heat onto the table, and the heavy sound of "bang" seemed to boast of its strength and weight, and at the same time, several onlookers "woke up" and continued to focus on the work at hand.

Mark One was soon born smoothly in this humble workshop, and Tony and the others looked at the armor they had worked hard to make, and their hearts were inevitably full of emotion.

With no disruption from Raza and no soldiers who suddenly came to check the situation, they also had plenty of time to test and discuss what to do next, and they even had time to hang the entire suit of armor on the simple boom to enjoy it.

But even though there was a lot more time, the mood of several of them was not half lighter, because they all knew what they were facing next.

Outside their cages were dozens of soldiers armed with rifles produced by Stark Industries, and outside the military fortress was a modern mechanized force, even though they had tried their best to modify and upgrade the firepower of the Raza troops, but the effect was really not gratifying.

"So we still have an ally, a juvenile delinquency reserve who peeps at us every day in an air-conditioned room? Well, I apologize. "

Tony, who was glared at by Wanda, raised his hands slightly in surrender, and he draped a heavy leather coat over his body, while Hou Yinsen brought him heavy gloves of the same material, although these heavy clothes were not bulletproof, but could effectively isolate the burning of the flame weapons equipped with the armor.

Wanda carefully took out a wonderful small watch that had been hidden, and the time on it pointed to one o'clock in the morning, less than two hours before their scheduled time of action.

This is an excellent time to launch a surprise attack, during which all but a few soldiers who are guarding and patrolling the night are unable to react quickly, and if they move quickly enough, they are perfectly able to rush to the perimeter of the base before the soldiers react.

And if fierce fighting breaks out in the silence of the night, it will inevitably make others aware of the existence of this secret base hidden in the mountain, and if they are lucky, they can even attract the rescue of American troops.

One of the most important reasons is that Tony can control the Warframe for as long as possible.

After all, the temperature of this desert can easily exceed forty degrees at noon, and if Tony, who is covered with a heavy leather coat and an iron shell, and one of the weapons in the armor is a flamethrower, chooses to attack at noon, then in less than fifteen minutes, he will squeak like chicken in the microwave.

"Okay, stand up Tony."

Hou Yinsen manipulated the boom to slowly descend, putting Tony into the heavy breastplate, Wanda and Pietro also tacitly began to fix screws on Tony's armor after many days of working together, and Wanda began to prepare to load Tony's armor with action programs.

"Tony, repeat the escape route one last time."

"After going out, follow the passage 41 steps forward, and then..."

Tony, on the other hand, reflexively reverted the road map he had memorized for days, and the route provided by Wanda and Pietro would lead them directly to the only exit in the mountain.

They will act together, with Tony breaking the door and clearing the enemies in the level along the way, after which they will go all the way up and meet Peter at the entrance to the cave.

At that time, Peter will prepare a working vehicle in advance and wait for everyone, and Hou Yinsen, Wanda, and Pietro will drive away with Peter, while Tony will travel in the opposite direction, destroying enemy equipment and trying to attract enemy fire along the way, and when it is confirmed that several people have fled by car, he will turn on the propulsion system in the armor and flee directly from the air, while Peter and his group will go to Tony's landing site to pick up.

It was really an overly crude plan, and Tony tried several times to come up with a more effective course of action, but no matter how he calculated, the result made Tony tug at the corners of his mouth.

The only viable plan he came up with was to hold back for a little longer, ask Raza for more materials, and build another steel armor to increase their chances of escape.

Tony sighed, put away his unrealistic thoughts, and watched the progress bar on the computer screen slowly advance, and Wanda also touched the revolver that had been hidden in her arms and belonged to Peter, and she finally made up her mind and began to fill the bomb nest.

Pietro was at a loss to find a decent weapon or two, he would pick up a long part removed from the missile, he would not know where to pull out an iron bar, and finally simply carried the iron hammer when Tony forged the armor directly in his hand.

Hou Yinsen was the most calm of the four, methodically checking the operation of every part of the armor for Tony, occasionally glancing up at the camera, hoping that the ally Wanda said would really be as reliable as she described.

Time passed minute by minute, and the progress bar on the computer gradually moved forward, and all the preparations had been completed, and the few people who could only silently wait for the action to start watched with bated breath as the white strip gradually covered the black box.

Time was stretched as thin as a blade, and every second made them tormented, and this night was probably the longest night they had ever experienced in their lives...

"Tick!"

In such a silent environment, the subtle sound of the computer seems so harsh, not to mention the flashing lights and some kind of energy-filled beep that reminds everyone that the moment they are looking forward to has arrived.

After a brief flash, the prison was plunged into darkness, only the progress bar on the computer screen, which was completely covered in white, shone in the darkness.

Without waiting for the guards at the door to ask, Wanda immediately knocked on the door, whispered in Pashto what was going on, and asked why there was a power outage, which would definitely affect the progress of missile manufacturing.

The guard at the door found that the inside of the prison was dark after opening the observation hole on the door, and immediately chose to open the door to check the situation, and although the other person vaguely felt that something was wrong, he saw that his companion had opened the door to check the situation and stopped stopping.

Wanda went straight out of the prison and complained in a low voice:

"We've just reached a critical step, and a lot of work is going to be done again!"

The guards knew that the girl had a special identity, and they did not drive Wanda back to the prison or block her movement, but entered the cell alone to check on the situation, while the other guard simply talked to Wanda in place.

"Now this weather power outage is very normal, probably where the line short circuit, if a few days without power is strange, I heard that the power of this base is all stolen lines in the surrounding cities, if the surrounding power is out, you can only use backup generators to maintain power for several hours."

Probably Wanda's slightly immature appearance is too fraudulent, and she is indeed a beauty, the guard not only answered Wanda's questions in detail, but even took the initiative to reveal some secret information, trying to provide new topics, but what he didn't notice was that Wanda deliberately shifted his footsteps while talking to him, drawing his eyes away from the prison gate, and his companion did not hear a sound after entering the prison.

It wasn't until a heavy sound of footsteps appeared behind him that he suddenly realized something was wrong, and when he turned his head, the last thing he saw was a huge machine shrouded in a azure light.

"Bang!"

The guard flew out horizontally, his whole body smashed on the hard wall, and then fell to the ground like bread stuck to the wall, and the wall was stained with a layer of blood by the guard.

Pietro quickly picked up the rifle dropped by the guard to replace the hammer, while Wanda handed the rifle to Hou Yinsen, but Hou Yinsen waved his hand and refused.

"For your own good, these weapons are more suitable for you to use, I can use them to deter enemies, but I will not kill anyone under any circumstances, even if they are terrorists or criminals."

"The Hippocratic Oath..."

Wanda vaguely remembered this oath that she had heard many times, and instead of forcing it, she put the revolver back away, and she walked forward with Tony with her rifle, but she couldn't help but ask:

"But... The current situation is special, this is a battlefield, this is a war! If you don't protect yourself, then all of us are likely to die, would you really rather be killed than resist? "

Hou Yinsen took a deep look at Wanda, and he revealed Wanda's incomprehensible complex look.

"War is war, war has its own number, war is like a sacrifice, either blood stains the hands, or someone will cut the throat."

Wanda blinked, only to find this sentence so familiar, and suddenly she remembered that this was Zaina had said similar words, this was probably an Afghan proverb, but the same words conveyed very different emotions in the two people.

Then Hou Yinsen looked at Wanda and said softly:

"May God protect you from blood on your hands and give you peace of mind."

Wanda shook her head, not caring about Hou Yinsen's thoughts, she only felt that caring about the life of the enemy at such a moment was the greatest betrayal of her own people, but she couldn't help but think of the nameless boy who died in front of her.

But there was no time to think and think, Tony, who rushed to the front, had already encountered the enemy, and the guards of the level were at the moment when their spirit was most relaxed, and suddenly saw the surreal scene of the huge mechanical armor and were stunned in place, they did not shoot or warn at the first time, directly let Tony hit and shoot two people out at the same time.

I don't know if today was their luck, they rushed all the way from the underground to the entrance of the cave and passed through four levels, but they easily passed the levels without triggering the warning, and the night defense of the entire base was almost useless.

But probably because they didn't consider the internal reasons for the attack, Tony was guessing why this road was so smooth, and at the same time he was a little more confident in the success of this plan.

They almost easily arrived at the entrance of the cave, where Peter was already dressed in his bat armor and waited.

This time, Tony was stunned in place, and Wanda hurried forward to explain.

"Don't worry, he's not an enemy, he's the ally I'm talking about."

Tony looked at Wanda for a long time and finally asked:

"So... A daily spy on our juvenile delinquency reservists in an air-conditioned room... Where did I say something wrong? Oh! "

Tony suddenly raised his head and added in a low voice:

"He's not a reserve."
