"What's going on? What happened? ”

Hurriedly stabilizing his body in the shaking, the black colonel Rhodes couldn't help but suddenly widen his eyes, and opened his mouth to ask the young messenger beside him.

But when Rhodes was questioning, the messenger was still sitting on the ground, in a state of bewilderment.

"Sir, what did you just say?"

It took more than a dozen seconds for the young messenger to come to his senses and ask Rhodes with a frown, but his expression was still a little sluggish.

Glancing at the stunned herald, Rhodes' brow furrowed, and instead of answering the herald's question, he poked his head out and looked into the cave where the armed terrorists were hiding.

But when he saw the scene in front of him, Rod's originally serious expression was instantly stunned.

The sound of bullets coming from the cave had completely disappeared, and there was an eerie silence in its place.

I saw that the entrance of the cave where the tongue of fire kept coming out just now had been completely covered by a thick smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust in the sky covered most of the hills, and the gray-yellow smoke and dust made Rod completely unable to see anything.

"Sir, what's going on? Has the enemy been wiped out? But we didn't seem to use large weapons just now. ”

Just when Rod was stunned in place, a head suddenly poked out beside him, and he saw the young messenger just now with his mouth wide open, and turned his head to Rod in great surprise.

"What's going on? Can't you see it yourself? Rod glanced at the messenger angrily and said coldly.

Listening to Rod's words, the young messenger couldn't help but shrink his head.

"Broken ......"

Suddenly, Rod seemed to suddenly think of something, suddenly reached out and slapped the back of his head hard, and exclaimed loudly.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Looking at Colonel Rhodes, who was startled, the messenger asked again.

Without time to answer the messenger's question, Rhodes suddenly rolled over and jumped out of the dirt slope of the bunker, and ran quickly towards the cave that had fallen to peace.

"Sir, dangerous ......" Seeing Rod's movements, the young herald couldn't help but exclaim.

It's just that Rhodes has completely turned a deaf ear to the call of the messenger now, because after waking up in a daze just now, he immediately thought of an extremely serious problem.

That serious problem is...... Tony is still in the cave!

Although it was Rhodes's own order that the heads of the three strongholds could use heavy weapons when necessary, the current level of destruction was not as simple as the heavy weapons he carried.

Rushing to the entrance of the cave in the face of the gray and yellow smoke flying in the sky, Rhodes was already about to be anxious.

If Tony had an accident in this assault, it would have caused an invisible earthquake in the United States, and as the person in charge of this operation, Rhodes could imagine what he would do.

Of course, Rod is most concerned about himself, as one of Tony's few best friends, and Tony is also one of his few friends, he is undoubtedly most concerned about Tony's life now.

Covered in smoke and dust, Rod's eyes were red, but he didn't have time to care about it now. Rod just ran towards the mouth of the cave with his head in a hurry......

But after continuing to move forward for dozens of meters, after seeing the three figures separate from the smoke and dust in front of his eyes, Rod's footsteps couldn't help but slowly stop.

I saw Oriana in a black robe, Tony in rags, and a person that Rod didn't know at all slowly walking out of the smoke and dust.

"Tony ......"

After a moment of frustration, Rhodes muttered under his breath and took another step towards Oriana and Tony.

"Rhodes ......"

At this time, Tony, who slowly walked out of the smoke and dust, also saw the black colonel Rod not far away, and after calling him in a trembling voice, he followed and ran in the direction where Rod was.

After meeting, the two couldn't help but hug each other with tears in their eyes, and at the same time, the black colonel Rod pursed his lips and whispered in Tony's ear: "Don't leave me in the future, okay?" ”

Just as Rod finished saying this, Oriana, who was dressed in black, and Ethan, who was also in rags, walked over, and Orianna glanced at Tony and Rod, who were hugging each other and looking full of affection, their mouths stiffened, and a burst of electronic synthesis sound came into the ears of the two.

"Alright, Colonel Rhodes, I've already rescued you, now it's time for us to go back, right?"

"Yes, Miss Orianna." After hugging Tony, Colonel Rhodes reached out and wiped his eyes, then turned to look at Orianna, who still had a zombie face, and nodded in response.

After receiving Rod's reply, Oriana nodded slightly, put the hood that had fallen behind her back again, and randomly turned and walked forward.

But before she could take a few steps, Oriana's footsteps paused slightly, and a strange and sharp electronic sound came into the ears of several people again.

"Colonel Rhodes, there is one thing I don't want to say, I didn't expect that the efficiency of your military would be even lower than that of S.H.I.E.L.D., if it weren't for the fact that you fought too hard, I wouldn't have been able to make a move just now."

"Uh......" Colonel Rod's expression couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard Oriona turn his back to him, and he just wanted to say something out loud, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a while.

After a few seconds of silence, Black Colonel Rhodes had no choice but to glance at Oriana's back helplessly, and said as if changing the subject: "Miss Orianna, let's go back to the base first!" ”

…………

Soon after, after Colonel Rhodes was preparing for the war, a convoy of more than a dozen military jeeps and military trucks was full of people and began to return to the base in a mighty way.

In the jeep at the head of the convoy, Colonel Rhodes stared intently into the distance and drove the car intently.

In the passenger seat to his right, Dr. Ethan, a man in ragged clothes and balding glasses, was asleep with his head down.

Although Tony was with him during his days of detention in the depths of the cave, it was obvious that he was still under a lot of mental pressure, and now that he was safely rescued, he could no longer resist the tension of his mind and body, and fell asleep as soon as he sat in the car.

Tony in the back seat was also very tired, but he had some doubts in his heart at this time, so that his spirit must be in a state of concentration.

Before the jeep drove for a minute, Tony couldn't help but turn his head to look at Orianna, who was sitting next to him wrapped in a black cloak.

That's right! Tony's doubts are all about Oriana's strange life that suddenly appears.

After rolling his eyes and preparing his words, Tony immediately turned to Oriana and asked, "Miss Oriana, I have a few questions for you, can you explain them to me?"

”

"Just now in the cave you mentioned what kind of magical life you are, is there really such a thing as magic in this world that science can't explain? And can magic be used to create life? ”

Without waiting for Orianna to react, Tony asked all the questions in his mind after asking.

Hearing Tony's voice, Oriana, who was wearing a hood, couldn't help but turn her head to meet Tony's gaze, not caring about Tony's impolite words and deeds, after the dark blue eyes flickered slightly, the weird electronic synthesized sound also sounded.

"Tony Stark, I just came to your rescue with Rhodes and Coulson, and now that you've safely escaped the clutches of the terrorists, my mission seems to have been accomplished!"

As she spoke, Orianna turned her head back again, and finally said, "So Tony Stark, I don't seem obligated to answer your question. ”

"Well, although you don't want to answer those questions." Tony spread his hands helplessly and asked again, "But this is a question that I must have the right to know." ”

"Miss Oriana, what I want to ask is who you call the master who sent you to save me?"

Keeping an eye on Oriana, who was ignoring her previous questions, Tony seemed to be waiting for her answer.

"My host ......"

After a few moments, Oriana's voice sounded again, and listening to her muttering voice, Tony felt as if she was considering something, but after this sentence, Orianna quickly fell silent again, and she did not look at Tony again.

But just when Tony thought he couldn't wait for the answer he wanted, Oriana's high-pitched synthesized voice sounded again.

"Mr. Stark, I seem to have heard the master say that he should be a shareholder of your Stark Industries by now."
