Chapter 52: Trapped

(Click, collection, recommendation, dissemination, various support (ㄒoㄒ)//)

It's been a few days since he was cheated by Coulson that day.

For the past few days, Grant has continued to live in close seclusion. No internet, no computer, not even a mobile phone, it was torture for him. As for the mobile phone that was previously "seized" from the guards of that secret base in Bahrain - the enemy's stuff dared to be kept around? He threw it into the Persian Gulf a long time ago. I wish I could see the expressions on the faces of those people as they tracked them to the surface of the Persian Gulf. In addition, two pistols and an assault rifle were seized. The latter was so conspicuous that it was thrown away long before leaving Bahrain by boat. As for the two pistols, he still kept them after disassembling them and checking that they had not been loaded with other things.

Boredom is boring, but he is not idle either. It took a lot of effort for Grant to cross the border into Afghanistan and make his way to the country he longed for the most. I heard that it is a very harmonious world, and the people are in peace and keep to themselves, and they don't have guns in every house, so they don't need to be on guard everywhere; It is said that it has the longest and most continuous history, and is the most important part of the history of human civilization...... Hmm, one of them; I heard that there are picturesque landscapes everywhere, all kinds of "weird" forms of entertainment, and countless and varied cuisines; I heard there......

Well, now Grant has a big problem. He was pitted again.

After entering Afghanistan, he relied on his barely Persian to find several guides, and also hitchhiked several times, all the way to the northeast. Unexpectedly, this time he planted it, and he encountered a group of three bandits pretending to be herdsmen!

Then he was taken to this inhospitable mountainous area. Needless to say, it must have deviated from the northeast.

If it weren't for the language barrier! If you are not familiar with the customs and behavior of these people! If you don't sit in the car all the way! Without! How could it be!

In the end, Grant had to admit that he was careless. And by this time he had his hands tied, and he had a gun behind his back.

It doesn't sound like the three are natives of Afghanistan, because they are not speaking Persian or Pashto, the other official language of Afghanistan, but are having heated discussions in Arabic. Although Grant did not know Arabic, he knew some "technical terms", such as "hostage", "kidnapping" and "ransom" that the three men had just mentioned.

It seems that the bandits also have a positive heart. Of course, it is also possible that these three people are not bandits at all.

Grant then tells them that it is not enough to tie his hands when dealing with an agent—or a former agent.

Originally, Grant was going to ask where this was and where the other party was going to take him. Unfortunately, because his Persian was so poor, he really couldn't understand the other party's words, and the result was nothing. Well, except for one word.

"'Ten rings'? What do you mean? ”

Language is an obstacle to communication, and it is really impossible to ask, so Grant has no choice but to give up. Knock all three of them unconscious, retrieve their two pistols from each other, and search each other for anything that can be used. The results were not found.

"Have you seen enough, haven't you come out yet?"

Grant said something suddenly. He was greeted by a moment of silence.

"It seems that English is not as good as I imagined!"

With that he said this, he drew his pistol and quickly came behind a rock.

Seeing no one, Grant's brows furrowed. At that moment, a voice came from a few meters behind him.

"I'm here."

It's English.

"Who are you?" Turning sharply and pointing his gun at the other man, Grant asked, "Are you......?" Superpowered humans? ”

If you pay close attention to Grant's expression at this time, you will probably be as puzzled as the mysterious person who suddenly appeared. Because in addition to being dignified, Grant's face was more suspicious, and there was also a hint of snickering.

And from Grant's point of view in World War II, this is not surprising. Because, his superpowers seem to be still there!

Yes, it seems to be still there. After escaping from a secret base in Bahrain, he went to Tehran, Iran, to meet Coulson, and now to the approximate hinterland of Afghanistan. After so many days, that energy is like a stone sinking into the sea. Grant still couldn't sense its presence, and had given up. He had already dismissed those few short days as a strange dream, and decided to seal it in his memory. Just as he got rid of that habit and regained his former skills, this energy reappeared?

It may seem inappropriate to say that energy has reappeared, but in fact, it is another thing that has appeared—the ability to sense superpowered humans. It's the same feeling that I first felt in the vicinity of Lake Yalkali and at the bottom of the dam, and the strange sensation when I touched Skye. Now, this ability has reappeared because of the mysterious man in front of Grant's eyes.

The mysterious man didn't know that Grant had gone through a long mental journey in a short period of time, and he thought that the other party had discovered what he had just done - he was indeed hiding behind the stone, but he only used his ability to move to his current position at the moment before Grant looked for it.

"You can call me 'Nadim'. As you can see, a Muslim. Well, it's kind of weird to state this in this place, right? But be assured, I have no ill intentions. Raising his hands and looking at Grant, the mysterious man said, blurting out Arabic-accented English, "And, if I understand correctly, I'm indeed one of the superpowered humans you're talking about." ”

Of course, Grant couldn't have let his guard down after hearing what the other party had to say. The gun in his hand was still raised, and he stared at the other party without blinking: "At the beginning, there was no one behind the stone. What do you want to do here? ”

"I saw you tied up and wanted to come over to see if there was a chance to save you." This "Nadim" is still quite calm, "Now it seems that I have done this too much." ”

Grant lowered his arm and turned to leave, but the pistol was still in his hand. Nadim withdrew his hands as well. Looking at Grant's back, he suddenly spoke: "You're an American, right?" I listen to your accent, you must have lived in the United States for at least a short time. I have a message that you might be interested in. ”

Hearing Nadim say this, Grant stopped and turned to look at the other party.

"What's the news?"

"I know where Tony Stark is."

Seeing that the other party said this very indifferently, Grant thought that he had misheard.

"What? Who are you talking about? ”

Nadim had to say it again: "Tony Stark, that billionaire and America's biggest arms dealer." I know where he is. ”

(PS: A new character has appeared, but this person doesn't matter.) Nadimu has nothing to do with the plot, and will only serve as a logical aid, giving the protagonist a proper reason to appear on the battlefield of several superheroes. It won't be him every time, there will be three or five such characters, after all, you can't let the protagonist have a strong relationship with several superheroes and trust them very much, and then all kinds of big battles will not fall.

There are no prophets in the text, so I use this method to involve the protagonist in the plot of the film, and try to make the logic as reasonable as possible. Of course, it won't be that simple, but it won't be too complicated either. I can guarantee that there is only one protagonist, and there will be no scene where the protagonist fights monsters with a team of non-Marvel characters.

If you don't understand it well, you can use these characters as mission publishers, such as the Battle of New York, when the Zetarians were raging, a passerby shouted "save me, save me" with a big exclamation mark on his head, and then the protagonist rushed to take over the task through the dialogue, and then fight monsters and upgrade to passers-by nPC to kill a bloody road? Haha, just kidding. )
