"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!
"Ahhhhh!"
"He's not human, he's a monster!"
"Bullets have no effect on him!"
"Where's my Italian cannon!"
"What Italian cannon? Even anti-tank cannons are useless against him!"
Tony and Ethan were struggling with putting on the armor when suddenly, intense gunfire and screams erupted from outside the cave.
Shriek!!!
After an extremely dazzling flash, the World suddenly fell silent again.
Tony and Ethan, lying on a bed, exchanged glances. The latter quickly got up and went to the door, looking out through the small observation window.
"Good opportunity, Tony!"
Ethan turned back, excitedly saying, "There's no one guarding the door outside right now!"
"Really?"
"Oh my god!"
Tony excitedly tried to do a carp jump but failed, falling off the bed. He then reached under the bed and pulled out a stick of dynamite taped together.
After confirming that there was indeed no one guarding outside the cave for the time being, he taped the bomb to the doorknob of the cave's iron door.
As soon as someone pushed the door open from outside, the bomb would immediately detonate, buying Tony and them some time.
"Ethan, hurry, hurry, quickly come and help me put on the armor!"
"Okay!"
Rewinding time slightly.
Ten Rings Gang stronghold.
Leon planned to achieve a "perfect infiltration" by relying on his super strong physical defense and his Desert Eagle with infinite bullets, going on a rampage all the way.
It's just that his marksmanship was really bad; it often took seven bullets to take down one person.
After all, he hadn't practiced much. Not long ago, he was still a pampered young master with little strength, spending far less time holding a gun than supporting it.
However, with the blessing of infinite bullets, Leon managed to make the Desert Eagle, a pistol, fire like a machine gun.
The bald leader of the Ten Rings Gang saw the situation was bad and quickly instructed the bearded subordinate next to him.
"This guy is tough. You quickly send people to transfer Tony Stark and Ethan. I'll be there soon!"
"Yes, Boss!"
After the bearded subordinate agreed, he immediately led a group of people towards the cave.
Leon, who had been monitoring the situation around the cave, saw this. After firing a few missed shots, he stopped pretending. A blazing light began to accumulate in his chest.
After a brief three-second charge, with a bang, a terrifying beam of light as thick as a Water vat shot out from Leon's chest!
He spun in place, and his chest cannon also changed direction, almost like a force of nature, completely destroying everything within the swept fan-shaped area!
"Phew~"
Letting out a long breath, Leon clenched his fist: "After firing one shot, I do feel a bit weak. It's not good for regular use."
"But this power..."
Leon looked at the Ten Rings Gang stronghold in front of him, which looked as if it had been bathed in lava, and couldn't help but click his tongue twice: "Who else?"
...
A noisy wind blew by, and no one responded.
The charred smell of residual flesh on the ground, baked by the high temperature, wafted into his nostrils, and Leon couldn't help but frown in disgust.
The Ten Rings Gang seemed to have been completely wiped out in that last sweep.
Inside the cave.
Tony and Ethan's armor-donning work was nearing its end.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Ethan, faster, I think I hear footsteps!"
Tony said anxiously.
"Immediately, what do I do now?"
Ethan helped Tony screw on the last bolt, then quickly scurried to the computer desk not far away and turned back to ask.
"Now only the power supply command is left. Press F11, and after seeing the progress bar, press Ctrl then I, and finally Enter!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The increasingly close footsteps seemed to be pounding on Tony's heart like a soul-stealing drum, and his face was sweating like rain from nervousness.
"Done, Tony!"
Ethan pressed the Enter key, and the Iron Man armor's startup progress bar immediately began to load rapidly at a rate of 10% per second.
"OK!"
"Ethan, quickly find a corner to hide. Watch me take care of all of them, and then we'll escape this hellhole together!"
Tony reminded him.
"You might not know, but I'm best at hide-and-seek."
With the hope of escape right in front of him, Ethan, who was usually steady and refined, couldn't help but crack a joke. He used his slender build to directly hide inside an empty missile casing.
As long as the missile wasn't moved, no flaw could be seen from the outside.
"Very good."
Seeing this, Tony also felt relieved, focusing on two things at once: the percentage progress bar on the computer screen and the increasingly approaching footsteps outside the iron door.
'Come on, I'm not afraid of You!'
Tony shouted in his heart to embolden himself, and the Iron Man armor's startup progress bar simultaneously loaded to 100%.
The lights in the cave flickered erratically, then suddenly went out.
Everything fell silent.
Bang!
A loud thud, like a battering ram, came from the doorway. The thick iron door was directly dented significantly, revealing a clear fist print.
Outside the iron door.
Leon withdrew his fist, looking at the fist print he had made, and couldn't help but spit lightly: "This is too soft, why didn't it shatter in one go?"
He followed up with a kick, and the iron door was directly kicked flying!
Boom!!!
Tony's pre-set bomb exploded with a roar, and Leon, unable to react in time, was directly blown away.
"What the f-!"
"I forgot about that!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Getting up from the ground, covered in dust, Leon patted the dust off his body and walked over, completely unharmed. He crossed his arms, leaned against the cave entrance, and greeted in a tone that was three parts melancholy, three parts teasing, and four parts nonchalant:
"Hey, skinny old man, let's go together."
However.
What greeted Leon was an iron fist the size of a sandbag.
Bang!
Leon twitched his mouth, easily catching it with one hand.
"Hey!"
"Tony, it's me!"
"Your dearest younger brother, Leon!"
Leon rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, and proved his identity.
"You're full of crap!"
"Don't I know that kid!"
"Leon doesn't have the strength to punch through such a thick iron door!"
Due to the rudimentary conditions.
The Mark 1 armor's helmet did not have night vision capabilities.
In the dim environment of the cave at this time.
Tony couldn't recognize the dust-covered Leon at all, and his auditory system was temporarily distorted due to the recent close-range explosion.
Tony, who only wanted to escape as quickly as possible, controlled the Iron Man armor to deliver a series of wild punches at Leon.
"Then there's no other way."
"Since reasoning doesn't work, we'll have to resort to physics."
Leon sighed, dodged Tony's left and right hooks, and with a simple, effect-free Rising Dragon Punch, directly sent Tony flying to the ceiling.
After he fell down, the cave returned to quiet once more.
