Afghanistan, a small town in a war-torn region.

Tony and Eric silently landed in stealth mode into the area, disarming their armor and walking out into the block. The intended target of the unexecuted command in Iron Man's journal was the town's town hall.

The town happens to be located in a war-torn area, with constant conflict and a backward economic situation even in the country. The two walked down the street, and the residents along the way were all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and most of the children were skinny and dry.

Tony looked at it and couldn't help but say, "Look at these people...... Whenever I see a scene like this, I always think about why I do it...... The reason why Iron Man exists. ”

"Doctor Hou Yinsen?" Eric asked, seeing Tony's slightly surprised gaze, he explained, "Please, you're a regular in the spotlight, and many people want to know what turned the Stark playboy into Iron Man, even in magazines." ”

Tony smiled wryly: "That's right. Ironically, it was in Afghanistan that I was captured by terrorists, and shrapnel from a Stark missile was embedded in my chest, just a fraction of a second from my heart, and I deserved to die like that. But I didn't, Dr. Hou Yinsen helped me survive and made me think about whether my life was different for the first time. ”

"Your life is different." Eric said, "If Dr. Hou Yinsen learns about it, he will definitely thank you for all these years of dedication." ”

"But is that really the case?" Tony looked at the scene in front of him and said, "Nothing has changed here, and the people are still in dire straits at any time. I could have put on my armor and charge into battle, and I could have beaten back one or two armies, but at the end of the day, innocent people were still dying, and nothing had changed about them. ”

"If you think about it that way, you're going to be on the tip of the bull's horns." "You are not a god, and no one can do what you want, not even ten times or a hundred times stronger than you." But at least you did your best, and maybe more people who might have died in the artillery fire would have a chance to live to their old age, reminiscing about his life, and remembering that Iron Man gave him a second life. I think as long as Dr. Hou Yinsen knew this, he would be relieved enough. ”

Tony smiled, glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "I said that it seems to have matured a lot since you went to the other side of the wormhole in that decisive battle of Yamozhuo. I'm starting to wonder what you've been through over there. ”

Eric shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing, just some advice from some seniors." ”

The two stopped discussing this topic and moved on. About twenty minutes later, Tony went to find the toilet to relieve himself, and Eric leaned against the side of the street and waited, looking left and right, but unexpectedly saw several teenager-looking older children in the deep alley opposite surround the famous immature boy. At first, several people only shouted and scolded excitedly, but later became emotional, and directly pushed the boy to the ground and threatened to beat him.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal to wait around, so Eric stepped forward and clasped the raised fist of the leader child, and all the children turned their heads in unison, shouting at him and shouting at him that he didn't understand. The child who was clasped by his wrist was even more unceremonious, and kicked directly with his leg.

Eric's dynamic vision and reflexes were far beyond that of humans, and the child's right foot had only been lifted for half a minute, and he had already stepped it back with one foot in advance, and with the force of his hand, he pulled the kid in a volley and fell to the ground with his arm. In fact, he deliberately used his ingenuity this time, and his subordinates were merciful, because he didn't want to be like these children, otherwise he could directly pinch the bones of this kid's hand with his grip and make him unable to hold a cup in his life.

This leading imp is also a hard bone, and he was smashed by Eric, lying on the ground and scolding, pointing fingers and signaling his accomplices to besiege. Several swarthy little imps surrounded Eric desperately, and they all showed their bright knives from their hands, and each of them cursed and cursed.

But after all, it's just helping the little ghosts. Eric sideways dodged a stab from a man on his left, grabbed his wrist with his hand, flipped his palm and twisted his palm backhand, and the knife was already in his hand. But he didn't want to hurt people with a sharp weapon, so he knocked the kid back on his head with his elbow, and he couldn't get up for a long time. He reversed the blade of the knife and threw it to the right, and the handle of the knife "snapped" into the forehead of the little man on his right, only to make his eyes black and dizzy.

The other two took advantage of his heart to turn to him, screaming and slashing down at the same time. But even if Eric didn't need to activate his armor now, his senses were already extremely sharp, and without looking back, he dodged a knife on one side, grabbed the arm of the other child, and threw him to the ground with the knife over his shoulder. The rest of the boy tried to return the knife and slash again, but Eric's left leg bounced up, and one kick hit the wrist dagger out of his hand, and the other foot hit the chest and fell to the ground, moaning like his companions.

Eric knocked down a few people in an instant, and suddenly heard the sound of "click" behind him, and subconsciously misturned, but saw that the kid who fell first had stood up at this time, still scolding in his mouth, and there was an extra black pistol in his hand, and the trigger had been pulled the moment Eric turned around.

Eric never expected that such a child would have a gun in his hand, and it was too late to avoid it at this time, so he only subconsciously raised his arm, and his mind did not move, and the armor had already covered his arm as if it were spiritual. There was a crisp thud of metal, sparks flew everywhere, and the deformed bullet casings clanged to the ground, and the boy stared at the armor of the foreigner's hand in front of him in astonishment, and for a moment his mouth opened wide and petrified in place.

If it weren't for the timely response of the armor, the boat almost capsized in the gutter. Annoyed, Eric stepped forward without thinking about it, and kicked the imp out with a flying kick, slamming it into a wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.

In just over two minutes, several older children had been knocked to the ground, and the boy was already frightened. Turning to see him still cowering in the corner, Eric stepped forward and extended his hand in a friendly manner. The boy stared at him for a long time, and seemed to have the courage to kick him in the shin without pain, and then ran out and disappeared into the street outside.

Tony came back and saw this scene, and immediately guessed what was going on, only smiling bitterly: "It's really not very friendly to white people here, and you blame them for something." ”

Eric shrugged indifferently, "I know. ”

Tony sighed, although he didn't say more, Eric also knew that he must have thought of Hou Yinsen again, the friend who was born in this land and directly promoted the birth of Iron Man, but unfortunately he didn't live to see it.

The two didn't talk again, and walked side by side to the outside of the town hall building. The town hall here is also very dilapidated, and it is only a little stronger than the rest of the buildings, which is still quite shabby. They just need to find out what is worth it for someone to hack Iron Man armor to attack, and the level of vigilance here is so average that it doesn't seem difficult to get information in there.

And just as they approached less than ten meters away, suddenly, the building exploded with a "boom" without warning. The impact was so strong that flames and rubble flew head-on, and the two were swept into the dust and overturned on their backs.
