American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 121: In the Desert (End)

"Captain America..."

Wanda looked at the gunman's posture with a complicated expression, and in her childhood, she would occasionally hear the story of the previous Captain America, Stephen Rogers, the story of him leading the crowd to defeat several times his own enemies, or the story of him bravely breaking into the enemy camp alone to turn the tide of the battle.

For Wanda at that time, Captain America was a symbol of heroes, and it was not until she experienced the war that she realized that Captain America may indeed be a hero, but he is Captain America, so he is only an American hero.

But when she heard the title again, it was after the attack on Tony that she saw as hell on earth.

Once again, the impression in her mind of Captain America shifted, perhaps... The hero of the United States is the devil for people in other countries ...

And Sharon was holding the spear in his hand to Raza's throat, while looking around the battlefield, at this time most of Raza's soldiers had scattered, some of them had participated in Tony Stark's attack, and even a few had just escaped from Sharon's hands before, and it was naturally frightening to see Sharon at this time.

The original army of more than fifty people completely collapsed due to Sharon's arrival in less than a minute, except for the wounded soldiers who fell unconscious on the ground, and the rest had already fled.

Even Raza considered his best hope for a turnaround, the BMP-2 tank, was driven into the distance.

Raza realized that he had completely lost, and his eyes widened but instead of looking at the spear and Captain America, who could take his life at any time, he looked with endless resentment at Hou Yinsen, who was in a coma in the already devastated jeep, as well as the Wanda and Pietro siblings.

Just a little... He almost saved the situation!

Sharon was very dissatisfied that she was ignored by this terrorist leader, and she pushed her spear forward a little more, and a little dark red blood immediately slipped down the tip of the spear.

"I ask one last time, where is Tony Stark now?!"

She began to seriously think about the feasibility of smashing the other party's thigh to extract a confession, although under the influence of her father, she would easily not take human life, but after S.H.I.E.L.D. training and under the influence of those instructors, she did not resist killing, and this time the incident directly involved her friend Tony She couldn't care too much.

At this moment, Wanda stood up and took the initiative to speak:

"He doesn't know Tony's location, but I escaped with him and I can take you to find him."

Sharon quickly turned her head to look at the girl she had just rescued with some surprise, she was speechless with excitement for a while, she was ready for the worst along the way.

Knowing the approximate location of Tony's kidnapping, Sharon patrolled and reconnoitred the neighborhood almost day and night, so she rushed to Laza's military base as soon as the explosion caused by Tony's escape.

And the sight there made Sharon's heart sink, there were burnt human bodies and blown up limbs everywhere, and there were a large number of fresh corpses piled up inside the base, and if Tony was still there, there was absolutely no possibility of survival.

Since Tony's body was not found, she chased the traces of the convoy alone with the last glimmer of hope, but did not expect to really find the person who had contact with Tony, she took a deep breath, and then asked excitedly:

"You mean he's alive? And escaped? "

"She's lying!"

Raza abruptly got up and tried to rush towards Wanda, but was put down by Sharon with the handle of her spear, lying on the ground and moaning softly while shaking her body from side to side.

Wanda ignored the small episode and nodded slightly, while she turned sideways and let go of Pietro, who was guarding behind her, and Hou Yinsen, who was lying in the back seat of the jeep.

"We escaped with Tony, but after escaping from that base we chose to escape in two groups, we were in a group of three, Tony and another group, I can help you find him, but I have two requests."

"Requirements?"

Sharon looked at the young girl with some surprise, a trace of vigilance rose in her heart, she began to wonder if what the girl was about to say was true, how could a girl who had just escaped from prison have the intention to go home in addition to wanting to go home?

Wanda was undaunted to meet Captain America's inquiring gaze, and then pointed to Hou Yinsen, who was lying in the back seat of the jeep.

"First of all, I need to find someone to save him immediately, I just stopped the bleeding for him, but he needs immediate treatment, he needs a clean operating room, professional doctors and medicines."

Sharon looked at Wanda's bloodstained hands and nodded abruptly.

"What about the second request?"

Wordlessly, Wanda snatched the rifle from her brother and aimed it at Laza, who was still lying on the ground.

Sharon raised an eyebrow, but didn't stop it.

Although Raza is the leader of the Ten Rings Gang, he has no information on him other than Tony's position that can make her or S.H.I.E.L.D., and now that his organization has been dismantled and has lost all value, if he can use his life to exchange information about Tony, Sharon naturally has no reason to object.

But Sharon took a step forward and grabbed Wanda's arm holding the rifle, and she glanced at Laza, waiting for him to reveal another valuable piece of information before the death threat, but Raza just lay on the ground, staring at Wanda.

His eyes were full of resentment, and although he had long guessed that Tony's escape was inseparable from the two "assistants" that Peter had brought with him, he still felt a wave of anger rush to his heart after hearing them admit it in person.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why these two people would help Tony escape, obviously instigating himself to attack, and it was the three of them who kidnapped Tony.

He kept thinking about the things he had promised after contacting Peter, as well as the actions he had planned, but he felt contradictory to how he thought about it,

So what exactly is the purpose of these two "assistants" and Peter? Went to great lengths to get them to catch Tony and then let him out?

Despite a lot of doubts, Raza did not confide a word to Sarah, as the leader of the Ten Rings Gang, if he was found to cooperate with the US government, his fate would only be more tragic than death.

Sharon, who didn't get any information, sighed and looked at Wanda.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to let your hands get bloody, you can't go back when you've killed someone, it's not a good experience, and believe me, he will be punished if you don't have to. "

Wanda aimed at Raza without wavering.

"Either blood stains your hands, or your throat is cut."

"Bang!"

Wanda pulls the trigger, and for the first time in her life, she takes someone's life.

A splash of blood spread in the air, quickly turning into a blood mist under the scorching light, and Raza fell straight into the desert, his eyes looking at Wanda to death.

Sharon pursed her lips and shook her head, the girl's expression when she shot was very similar to when she first killed someone, when she thought that everything she did was righteous, even if she had all the hesitation in her heart, but still pierced the man's heart with a spear, even today she can still recall the man's expression when he was dying, and now seeing Wanda is like experiencing a reincarnation.

But this was not the time to be sad, she used the communicator to quickly contact the military and send the location, and it would not be long before a helicopter carrying a medical team arrived.

Then she turned around and patted Wanda on the shoulder, both as a comfort, and on the other hand, as a reminder that she had fulfilled her promise and fulfilled everything she asked for, and it was time for her to fulfill her agreement.

But at this moment, there was a sudden succession of explosions in the distant sky, and the strange sound was like a flying car bursting in the sky.

Sharon frowned and looked into the distance, and soon discovered that the source of the figure came from a... No, it was two small figures, and at this time the two figures were stacked together, making strange "flights" in mid-air.

One of the figures wrapped his arms around the neck of the person below him, but his body was still thrown up and down.

The people below have their hands down, and whenever they begin to fall, their hands erupt with fluctuations that can distort their vision, and they rely on the reaction force to soar into the air again.

Although their way of moving is so strange that they look like high-tech flying zombies in the new century, their speed is really amazing, and the figure who was just two black dots came to the front after a while.

"Tony!"

Sharon, who had excellent eyesight, immediately discovered the identity of the figure, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward, but the other party's strange way of moving was still the weird "mount" that made her flinch.

And the man who carried Tony across the desert was Peter.

When he discovered that Wanda and the others were attacked, in addition to immediately providing support with the Imperial Vision that ignored the distance, he was also speeding up the confirmation of the location of him and Tony, and also had to consider how they should reach their destination as soon as possible after confirming the location.

Unable to think of any good way, Peter had to give Tony all his bat armor so that he could develop a way to help the two of them get on their way.

And Tony is indeed worthy of the world's top genius, he took less than two minutes to fully understand all the functions and operation of the Batarmor, and even the security system was easily cracked by him.

Just when Peter finally figured out where the two and Wanda were, Tony had also slightly modified the bat armor, allowing them to use the originally terrifying air cannon to move with this weird aerial "zombie jump".

Although the movement was indeed fast, the price was not small, after the two landed in almost free fall, they both stuffed a mouthful of hot sand in their mouths, and Fortony, who supported this mouthful of sand, did not spit out all the fruit he had just eaten.

"I feel like I've used up the hug quota in this life, and I don't want to hug any man again in this life!"

Tony, who had adapted to the temperature of the sand, simply lay on the ground to restore the bumpy internal organs and facial features, and Peter was not comfortable, and he had some psychological shadows of high-altitude flying this time and directly regained the feeling of riding Gwen's "trackless roller coaster".

And Sharon, after glancing at the incomparably familiar bat armor, turned around and pulled Tony up, complaining while patting the sand on his body like a child:

"I have long said that you dare to run to Afghanistan even if you go to a nightclub? I really should..."

Halfway through the beating, Sharon noticed the Ark reactor on Tony's chest emitting an azure glow similar to her own spear, and she froze for a moment, slowly looking at Tony, who shrugged.

"The fashion style here, I just go with the customs."

Peter looked at Laza's body and sighed in relief.

His biggest threat and flaw in Afghanistan is now gone, and as the person who made a deal directly with Peter, once he identifies Peter as the one who planned the attack, it will put him in a situation where everything is lost.

Turning around, Peter looked at Pietro, who was sitting in the back seat with a tired face to take care of Hou Yinsen, and Wanda, who stared at him but did not say a word.

"It's over... You're all doing well, and we're going home right now. "

Peter is vaguely grateful to Wanda for executing Laza, but Wanda does not have the slightest joy for Peter's gratitude or about being able to return to his daily life.

Tony Stark has undergone a metamorphosis in this land, and maybe he will really go down the right but painful path as Peter said.

Their plan was successfully accomplished, and although the attack plan cost hundreds of lives, and now there are more to fill in, it was all worth it.

At least Wanda used to think so.

These people are terrorists, they are thugs with blood on their hands, they do not care about the lives of others, they do not care about their own, they do not know why they live and do not die for some reason.

Naturally, no one cares about their lives, because the same tragedy is playing out all the time in this land, and if they do not die today, then they will die ignorantly elsewhere.

But today she chose to save a life for the first time by her own will, and also took a life for the first time based on her own will and ideas, and now she can finally clearly perceive the huge weight of life, but it also makes her realize what the mountain of corpses before means.

She also slightly understood why Hou Yinsen was unwilling to stain his hands with blood until he died.

Certain thoughts began to germinate in her mind...

The helicopter soon arrived, and the medical team put Hou Yinsen on the helicopter, he was likely to survive, and several of them were sent to the military base by Sharon along with Tony.

There they finally ate food with no sand attached to it.

After a short recuperation, they were sent that evening together to Germany, where they were treated and questioned, and then returned to New York.

On the plane to Germany, Wanda, who had been silent all the way, looked at the long-suffering land for the last time, and the desert plunged into darkness reminded her of Zaina's camp.

As she sat on the outskirts of the camp, her eyes were full of desert and ruins.

When the wind blows, it makes a whistling sound, but all this brings people a sense of bleakness and solemnity, especially when the night is stronger, this feeling of bleakness and supremacy also becomes stronger with this night, making people can't help but want to escape this kind of place as soon as possible.

However, Shino was silent, but there was no place to shelter from the wind at all...
