The entire desert is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and 400 kilometers wide from north to south, covering an area of 330,000 square kilometers. The average annual precipitation does not exceed 100 mm, and the minimum is only four or five mm; The average evaporation is as high as 2500-3400 mm. Here, pyramid-shaped sand dunes rise 300 meters above the plain. Strong winds can blow up walls of sand up to 3 times as high. The desert is full of sand dunes that move frequently due to the wind. There are also a small number of plants in the desert, whose root system is unusually developed, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the aboveground part, in order to absorb the water from the ground, and the animals there have the phenomenon of summer hibernation.
And in the barren desert of Taklamakan there is a huge and luxurious palace, the palace is splendid, the walls are inlaid with countless precious gems, the houses are layered on top of each other, but there are hidden murderous intentions, there are many armed soldiers patrolling back and forth in the fortress, three steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, in terms of defensive strength, it can be compared to the White House of the United States!
The two soldiers guarding the gates of the fort were resolute, holding machine guns in their hands, standing as tall as javelins, but their attention was drawn to a figure in the distance.
In the distance of the desert slowly walked a figure, this figure is not fast, but the footwork is firm, the surrounding harsh environment can not stop his footsteps, the feet of the yellow sand all the way to the ground but did not leave a footprint, the most peculiar is that this figure is wearing a well-fitting suit, hand-made leather shoes, luxurious sunglasses, all show his extraordinary identity, when he walked to the main gate of the palace, the guards could not even see a single gravel on him, and there was not even a little dust on the dark and translucent leather shoes, Although this person was not an ordinary person at first glance, the palace guards still stopped his progress at the first time!
"Who are you? What are you doing here! ”
Being pointed at two guns, the man did not show a nervous look, but easily took off the sunglasses on his face, showed a bright smile to the two guards, and then said slowly.
"My name is Arthur Stacey, and I'm here to meet Lord Manchu about a business!"
As soon as they heard the name of "Lord Man", the faces of the two guards changed greatly, this palace does belong to the secret stronghold of "Lord Man", but it is very secretive, and few people in the world know about it, no matter what purpose Arthur came here, just because he knows this secret stronghold, the two guards will not let him leave!
The guards pressed Arthur into the palace, Arthur did not resist, and was very cooperative with the guards into the basement of the palace, and when he came to the basement, he found himself in a prison, and there was an Asian man in his 30s waiting for him in the prison!
Arthur was pressed in front of the middle-aged man, and there were two guards around him who pointed their guns at him, as long as he moved slightly, he would usher in the baptism of bullets, but in the face of all this, Arthur was calm, and even moved a chair to sit in front of the middle-aged man, not treating himself as an outsider at all!
Arthur's composure made the middle-aged man take a deep look at him before taking a deep breath and asking, "The boss of the Night Stalker Office, why did you come to this desert where birds don't?" ”
The middle-aged man revealed Arthur's identity in one bite, but Arthur was still indifferent, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said a long time ago that I came to talk about business with Lord Man!" ”
"I don't know if Master Li can introduce me to one or two!"
As soon as he heard Arthur reveal his identity, Li Chun's pupils shrank and he forced himself to calm down, but his heart couldn't help beating a little faster, and he didn't recover until three seconds later, but Arthur kept smiling, and his expression hadn't changed since he came to the prison!
"I wonder what business Mr. Arthur wants to discuss?" Li Chunqiang asked calmly.
"A business with Tony Stark!" Arthur's words finally made Li Chun's face change greatly, and he got up from his chair excitedly, and tried his best to guard against Arthur.
The mastermind behind the previous kidnapping of Tony Stark was "Lord Man", but no one in the world knew about this matter except him, but Arthur broke the secret, which made Li Chun calm, "Lord Man" has always been harsh on his opponents, and he can't tolerate a little mistake, and now that the kidnapping of Tony Stark is exposed, Li Chun has a chill in his heart, and he has thought of what will happen to him!
"You don't have to be nervous, as long as you help me meet the 'Manchurian', I will keep you safe!" As if he knew what Li Chun was worried about, Arthur smiled and comforted him, but it made Li Chun even more nervous, and even began to have murderous intent in his eyes, but when his eyes met Arthur's eyes, the murderous intent in his heart calmed down for no reason, and then he sent someone to inform the "Manchurian Lord" to facilitate the meeting between Arthur and the Manchurian Adult.
Arthur didn't wait long, a monk in a monk's robe came to the cell, and after giving Li Chun a bland explanation, he carried Arthur out of the cell, through a corridor of the palace, to the hall of the palace, and Li Chun followed the monk all the way, and when he came to the hall, his whole body was soaked, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn't dare to look ahead with his head down.
After Arthur entered the hall, he found that there was a throne at the front of the palace hall, carved dragons and phoenixes, shining with golden light, and on the throne was sitting a tall man, with black hair and black eyes, a middle-aged man in a dark green suit, the most peculiar thing was that the middle-aged man had a gem ring on each of his ten fingers, and the ten gem rings were of different colors, shining from time to time, full of strange light! Although there seemed to be only four people in the hall, Arthur could sense that countless battle-hardened warriors were lurking around, and at least 100 guns were pointed at him.
As soon as Arthur entered the hall, he looked at the middle-aged man on the throne, and the two of them looked at each other carefully, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, although Arthur Stacy was guarded by his own subordinates, but his temperament was like standing out from the crowd, although he was pointed at a gun, his expression was indifferent, the corners of his mouth were slightly pretty, and he always kept smiling, and his bearing was unforgettable at first sight!
"Why did the famous owner of the Night Stalker Office come to talk to me about business in this desert!" After looking at Arthur, Lord Man asked, his voice was low and powerful, full of magnetism, and there was still a magic in his words, which made people involuntarily fall into it.
"No way!" Arthur pretended to be helpless and said: "It's hard to do business these days, and in order to make money, I can only come in person!" ”
Now that Arthur has seen the main master, he naturally stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point: "S.H.I.E.L.D. paid me a lot of money to save Tony Stark!" ”
Hearing Arthur's words, Lord Man's face was gloomy, and he stroked the ring in his hand with ten fingers of both hands, and his momentum became more and more high, and everyone in the hall was overwhelmed by his momentum, but Arthur was still like that, and he didn't even change his breathing!
