In the early morning of January, the temperature was already very cold, and the shrubs by the lake were still hanging with crystal clear frost flowers, and even the rising sun did not bring a trace of warmth to the earth.

Liu Zheng ran alone along the island in the middle of the lake.

He ran fast, but his steps were steady, the time of each step was almost the same, and his breath and breath were also very rhythmic, as if he fit some kind of rule between heaven and earth, and the heat emitted from his head condensed into a white mist in the air.

Four pieces of equipment 60KG, almost equivalent to carrying an adult on the body, did bring Liu Zheng a lot of trouble at first, but after half a month, he was able to exercise normally, and now he has been on Huxin Island for more than a month, he has completely adapted to the new weight, eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, not affected at all.

Unconsciously, Liu Zheng's physical fitness has improved a lot compared to when he first came, this is his fifth lap around the island, and he does not feel tired at all.

Just as he was about to speed up and sprint for a lap, his heart was inexplicably moved, and he looked at the wide lake not far away.

Soon, a small boat passed through the cold fog on the lake, jumped in front of Liu Zheng's eyes, and slowly rowed towards the port. Liu Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time and couldn't see who was sitting on the boat, he thought about it and ran towards the port.

From a distance, he saw that Shangqi and Yellow Claw were already waiting on the shore, he ran up to greet him, and then asked, "Who is here to make such a grand event?" ”

Yellowpaw responded to him with a smile: "Wait in peace, you'll find out who it is in a while." ”

The boat slowly approached, and Liu Zheng immediately laughed when he saw the faces of the people on the boat, it was actually Ding Luo.

As soon as the ship docked, Liu Zheng couldn't wait to meet him, gave him a bear hug, and laughed loudly: "Lao Ding, Lao Ding, I didn't expect it to be you, the mission in Hong Kong is over?" ”

Ding Luo patted Liu Zheng the back, Liu Zheng was still unconscious in the hospital when he left Qiantang, and now he sees his vigorous appearance, his body seems to be a lot stronger, and he is sincerely happy for him.

"yes, it's finally done." Ding Luo replied and greeted the two behind Liu Zheng. Yellow Paw smiled and bowed in return, although Shangqi still looked immobile, but the joy between his eyebrows could not be hidden. After the first battle of Qiantang, several of them have formed a lifelong friendship, and they are very affectionate when they meet again at this time.

Liu Zheng saw that everyone was talking happily, and couldn't help but think of Danny back in New York, there is no network signal on this island, and I don't know what this guy is busy with now, if he is also here, it would be great. Just thinking about it, a strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart, I always felt that there was one person missing, but I couldn't remember who it was. He shook his head uncomfortably, and then looked at the other people as if he didn't realize it, and threw it behind him.

Ding Luo said his intention, it turned out that after his mission in Hong Kong was over, he planned to go back to Qiantang to find Fu Shenzhou to recover his life, but Fu Shenzhou gave him the address of Huxin Island, and asked him to come here first to meet Liu Zheng and others, and he planned to go back to Hunan for the Spring Festival this year, and then report to him at that time.

Hearing that the old master was coming back for the New Year, he was so excited that he vowed to make this year's Spring Festival prosperous and lively.

At the dinner table, they chatted about this Hong Kong incident, and Huang Paw asked, "I heard that it was the Ten Commandments Gang that made trouble over there?" These people are amazing, they seem to have a close connection with Lord Manchu. ”

"There is no Ten Commandments Gang at all, it is just a group of terrorists who want to incite trouble in Hong Kong under the name of the Manchurian people."

"That Lord Man is also fake?"

Ding Luo was angry when he talked about it: "Fake, an actor named Trevor Slater." We checked his bottom line, this person is a drug addict, because he looks fierce and can speak well, so he was asked to play the role of 'Manchurian adult' after plastic surgery. This group of people hid in Hong Kong, stole TV signals to release horror videos, and threatened to give Huaxia a few lessons, but after being caught by us, they peed their pants and were soft. ”

"These spicy chickens just can't look down on others, they have a bad time, and they don't make others comfortable." Liu Zheng frowned and asked, "Then do you know who instructed it?" ”。

“A.I.M。”

Ding Luo said three letters, and then explained: "Advanced Idea Mechanics, Chinese translated as 'Pioneer Technology', is an international cartel company that specializes in providing hardware configurations and high-end weapons to government and quasi-government agencies. They tried to break through the national border some time ago, but they were beaten back by our border guards, and now they are going to Hong Kong to make trouble. ”

Liu Zheng wondered: "I can't figure it out, they sell their weapons well, what does it have to do with us, what are they doing against Huaxia?" ”

"As I understand it, it's purely a personal hobby of their leader." Ding Luo shook his head helplessly, "According to the person who captured it, the supreme leader of AIM is a strange person with a genetic mutation, and his head is the size of this table..."

Shangqi, Huang Claw, and Liu Zheng glanced at each other, they were all surprised, it was really the world that was so big.

"This strange person's name is M.O.D.O.K., and the Chinese translation is 'Mordoke'. Since he came to power, Vanguard has uncharacteristically begun to stir things up, not only in the United States to trouble the Avengers, but also to constantly attack the borders of various countries with their newly developed weapons, and now most countries refuse to do business with them. However, because of their advanced scientific research and technology, and the equipment and weapons they manufacture are very sophisticated, there are still many buyers on the black market who are willing to pay a lot of money, and these people also sell highly lethal weapons directly to the anti-government forces, and these illegal businesses have made them money faster. ”

For a company whose main business is arms trafficking, world peace is simply their annihilation, so supporting anti-government forces and supporting local wars and local conflicts is the way to make money, not to mention that their immediate boss seems to be a madman.

"Why are there so many villains in a mess." Liu Zheng complained, "Aren't the people of the Avengers very awesome, why didn't they kill them?" ”

Ding Luo spread his hands: "Because no one knows where the nest of Pioneer Technology is, sometimes you can find some hidden processing plants, but no one has ever really caught the top management of this organization." This time in Hong Kong, when we found out that the mastermind behind the attack was AIM, Colonel Rhodes did not hesitate to launch an attack, because he knew that everyone in this organization was innocent, don't you say, it really allowed us to catch a person with a high management level, this person seems to have a bit of a relationship with Iron Man, and he is an American, so Rhodes escorted him back to New York afterwards. ”

He is not going to continue here, and more in-depth topics will be reported together when Fu Shenzhou comes.

Shangqi thought for a moment and asked, "War Machine-James Rhodes, how is this person, have you ever fought against him?" ”

Ding Luo shook his head and said: "Rhodes is a good person, but he is also a very strict professional soldier, he has no prejudice against the Chinese, but when it comes to the high-tech technology information of the US military, his mouth is very tight." The army has the discipline of the army, and if he doesn't want to, we can't just do anything with him, but I can see that this man is very not simple. His military literacy and combat talent are very high, and he can become a colonel of the US Air Force and the head of the weapons research and development department at the age of 30, definitely not because he has a steel suit or a friend of Iron Man, I think that Rhodes is deliberately allowing the outside world to misunderstand him, which is equivalent to painting him a camouflage color. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the flames of war were burning in his eyes. For Ding Luo, it is a big pity that he couldn't have a serious discussion with him.

Liu Zheng was a little ashamed, he was one of those people who despised the war machine. After watching many Avengers battle videos, he believes that this person can only become an Avenger by relying on the steel suit given by Tony Stark, and he will not do anything but bombard indiscriminately with the heavy firepower equipped by the military. Now that I hear Ding Luo's evaluation of the war machine so highly, I know that this person is powerful, and it seems that he has made a low-level mistake of judging people by their appearance.

In fact, it is very simple, if anyone is not equipped with special skills, where is he qualified to be called a superhero?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, after the reception banquet, Yellow Paw ordered someone to clean up the room, and Ding Luo stayed on the island.

The next day, Ding Luo took the initiative to find Shangqi and asked him about the battle. Although he can be regarded as one of the best masters in the military system, and he is also regarded as the inheritor of ancient martial arts, since Shaolin is known as the "birthplace of Chinese martial arts", and Shangqi is the master of Shaolin martial arts, at least from the perspective of martial arts knowledge, Ding Luo is not a little bit worse, so when he encounters confusion, the first choice is to find Shangqi.

Shangqi listened to Ding Luo's question, and replied: "I also have a certain understanding of military boxing, which is a collection of Xingyi boxing, Bajiquan, Sanda and other martial arts characteristics to create a modern fighting technique, the moves are concise and practical, the rhythm is clear, easy to learn and understand, both good at fighting alone and organizing multiple people to fight together, it is definitely the most suitable martial arts for the army to learn." In particular, the third set of military physical boxing practiced by your special forces is fast, the next game is steady, the punch is strong, and most of the attack points are in the weakest part of the human body, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 'killing technique'. ”

He thought for a moment, then said, "I don't think there's any problem with your combat skills, if there's any flaw, it's probably speed." ”

For the evaluation of Shangqi, Ding Luo thought deeply, he himself was aware of this problem, from the perspective of body style, Danny Rand and Shangqi are faster than himself, even Liu Zheng, a beginner, has also learned a set of quite exquisite footwork, so that he can easily dodge attacks in dangerous battles, but Ding Luo has no skills in this regard.

Shangqi saw that Ding Luo agreed with his opinion, so he said: "I have a light skill here, called "Eight Steps to Catch the Horse", which is said to have been inherited from a northern hero in the Tiansheng period of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. Learning to go high can greatly increase the distance of straight line movement between two points, which is exactly what suits your situation. If you want, I can teach you now. ”

"This is your sect's martial arts, is it inappropriate to teach me an outsider..."Ding hesitated slightly.

Shangqi shook his head: "This is not Shaolin martial arts, in the early years, I traveled out of the island, and I saw a master in the northwest grassland, who ran faster than lightning, and could catch up with the galloping horse within eight steps, and quickly jumped to stand on the back of a horse with four hooves in the air and galloping. I saw that I was happy to hunt and learned from him, and found that his body style was indeed very special, so I exchanged another Jianghu martial arts for his unique light skills. ”

He pointed to Liu Zheng, who was smashing the sandbag in the gym at this time, and said with a smile: "You are in love." In today's society, with abundant resources and developed information, if we, the people of the secret realm, still blindly cherish ourselves and don't know how to be flexible, I am afraid that we will really be eliminated by the times. Didn't Liu Zheng learn Shaolin dragon claw hands? ”

Ding Luo was relieved when he heard him say this, and he arched his hand like a Jianghu person and said thank you.

Since then, the morning on the island in the middle of the lake has added a sight to two runners, rain or shine. As a latecomer, Ding Luo's time to learn light skills is relatively short, but he belongs to the kind of person with strong learning ability, and soon touched the essence of "Eight Steps", and because of the difference in exercises, Ding Luo's running speed is several times faster than Liu Zheng, no matter how Liu Zheng runs, he can't escape the fate of being trapped by Ding Luo.

In the first few days, Liu Zheng wanted to chase hard, but then he simply gave up, because he learned that when Ding Luo was still in the army, he created two cross-country records of bare hands and heavy 5 kilometers, which no one has been able to break so far. Besides, the footwork he learned was not suitable for long-distance running, and the two of them could not be compared at all.

Liu Zheng used to hate this kind of repetitive mechanical movement the most, after coming to the island in the middle of the lake, he was forced to run by the yellow paws, and gradually fell in love with this feeling, running ten laps along the revetment every morning and evening, and the hearty feeling was very refreshing!

I've been here for more than a month before I knew it, and Qiantang is okay? Well, with Fu Shenzhou guarding there, and now that Sister An and the human worm are here, no one should dare to mess around... I don't know if Xiao Shenshi is adapting to his new life, I don't know when the old man will come back for the New Year, I don't know how Danny Land is doing in New York...

The figure of the girl in yellow jumped out inexplicably in his mind, Liu Zheng's heart rate instantly became chaotic, and his footsteps slowed down unconsciously.

He looked across the lake to see the outside world, but the lake was so wide that he couldn't see anything on the other side.

"Let one go, let one go."

Ding Luo ran past him with a shout, and deliberately bumped Liu Zheng with his elbow.

"Damn, slow the!" Liu Zheng angrily picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Ding Luo's back, and in just a few seconds, this guy surpassed himself by dozens of meters.

Ding Luo giggled and dodged, and taunted from afar: "Why are you here-"

Liu Zheng retreated from the messy thoughts in his heart, roared, and chased in the direction of Ding Luo.
