"Quick, quick! Ethan, connect the line behind my back!"
"Okay Stark, I heard there's chaos in the cave, why don't you wait for them to come and rescue us?"
"Oh, if those terrorists are driven crazy, they can do anything. Think of the World Trade Center, think of suicide bombs."
After hearing this, Ethan immediately formed a rough image in his mind. He shuddered violently and forced a smile, "Stark, don't say such scary things."
Tony stared at the progress bar on his notebook, "I'm not kidding you, maybe those crazy dogs will die with us."
Tony, whose mobility was restricted by the armor, stretched his neck hard, looked around the cave, and said with his eyes: "Ethan, if the cave collapses, is there any possibility for us to survive?"
"Okay, Stark. Don't talk about that yet, tell me how to play with these threads!" Ethan was sweating now, not sure whether he was anxious or scared.
"...Yes, yes, that's it, then put the lid back on."
"Oh~" Ethan wiped the sweat from his head, "Stark, you obviously don't have eyes in the back, it's like you know everything I do."
Tony smiled proudly, and there was a hint of freedom and unruliness on his stubble-covered face, "Otherwise, how could I be called a genius by the outside world?"
A blue light appeared in Tony's sight, and he fell silent.
"Stark? Stark? What's wrong with you?"
"Oh!" Tony was surprised, "It's nothing, I just thought of something."
Ethan glanced at the blue light on Tony's chest, shook his head, and patted Tony, who was wearing steel armor, on the shoulder, "We can survive, can't we?"
"Hey~ Even though it sucks to be here with a man in this situation, I still want to say... of course."
"Bang!—bang bang bang!"
"Stark! Ethan! Open the door for me!"
Although Tony couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. He could tell it instantly, right?
"Quick, Ethan, how far is the self-test progress bar?" Tony asked anxiously.
Ethan took a few quick breaths and raised his eyes slightly on the bridge of his nose, "Stark, it's only 58% now."
After saying that, he raised his head again, "Stark, can you really succeed with this thing?"
Tony stared at the serious face, biting his teeth lightly in his lips, forcing a smile, "Of course, Ethan. After you go back, I will invite you to New York, where the girls are the hottest."
Ethan nodded and raised his eyebrows, "I feel relieved when you say that."
"I know you need this." Ethan said holding the steel mask.
Although he was an amateur, he could easily put on such a simple mask for Tony.
After doing everything, he took a few breaths and fixed his eyes on the bomb made by Stark on the door.
As long as the door is broken by the opponent, the bomb will immediately send them to the sky!
Wearing a mask, Stark's field of vision was compressed to the extreme, and even pistol bullets could not penetrate his mask.
You can imagine how small those two "eyes" are.
"boom!--"
A bomb was detonated at the door, and all the terrorists who had just entered were blown out!
Even if he is not dead, he still has more air coming in and less air coming out.
"Stark, you heard about me." Ethan's voice was extremely calm, but it still made Tony frightened.
"The progress has now reached 79%. Please believe me and yourself. I am going to fight for time. We will definitely survive."
Ethan's face was serious, but the hot beating heart under his chest began to run at a high speed, indicating that its owner was not as calm as he appeared.
"Maybe I can still meet those American soldiers. I hope I won't be regarded as a terrorist by them."
"Hey! Ethan..."
Before Tony could stop him, he rushed out!
He picked up an automatic rifle from the ground, yelled and rushed out!
There was the sound of bullets being fired from outside, and with Stark's hearing, he could clearly hear those bullets...all hitting the walls or the ground.
The terrorists are rioting. They are not fanatics, but their own lives are very important.
Even though the beard was pushing hard from behind, he was still beaten so hard by Ethan that he couldn't show his head and instead kept retreating.
Those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of being shameless, and those who are shameless are afraid of risking their lives.
But now, Ethan is obviously in the last category.
Although he was "excellent in marksmanship" and did not kill anyone on the other side, he still relied on his fierce strength to suppress the bearded team!
Tony was still in the deepest cave. He could only see the progress bar on the screen clearly through his helmet by squinting his eyes slightly.
89%...93%...98%...100%!
"Stab~"
A series of electric sounds sounded, and Tony, wearing steel armor, broke free from the back frame.
Electric sparks flew everywhere, but it did not affect Tony at all. He was still a little worried about this armor. After all, time was too tight. If the group of soldiers hadn't come in, he wouldn't have risked wearing it.
.
But now... no matter what, he has to go out to fight. Tony just hopes that Ethan will not run too far.
"Bah!~"
Every time the steel armor moved, it made a small hole in the ground, throwing up countless dust particles. Tony narrowed his eyes slightly inside, listening to Ethan's voice, and prepared to attack there!
As they passed by each other along the way, the group of soldiers could not do any damage to the armor at all. This also made Tony feel relieved.
Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion not far away!
Even Tony was unsteady on his feet for a while. After the steel armor swayed several times, it gradually returned to calm.
In the armor, Tony's expression changed, "Damn, damn, damn!"
The direction of the blast... was exactly where Ethan was, and now, there was no gunshot.
"Boom boom boom~"
The armor took long strides and rushed towards Ethan, but the three teams at the entrance of the cave encountered a fierce attack by a group of fanatics!
The American soldiers who have always been relatively calm... finally suffered casualties!
The commander who was sitting on the helicopter and directing this operation looked very unhappy. Next to him, General Brooks sat!
He originally wanted to put on a good show, but in the end he had an accident like this!
"Order the first team to start the assault, and the second team to prepare funds to rescue the wounded. If necessary, use concussive bombs. Pay attention to Stark, don't be accidentally injured."
"Yes!" The commander saluted with a military salute and quickly conveyed the news to the soldiers.
...
It was much quieter inside the cave. Tony's hands in steel armor did not tremble, but his heart was already half cold.
Ethan's back was covered with blood, and the blood had already soaked his clothes. Even if he was sent to the hospital for this kind of injury, it would be too late.
"...You didn't say you wanted to visit your hometown?" Tony's voice was a little hoarse, "Didn't you agree to go to New York with me?"
His eyes gradually turned blood red, and just as he was about to stand up, he found a shadow shrouding him...
