Chapter 62: Thirty Hours
(Click, collection, recommendation, attention, dissemination, all kinds of support (^_^))
When Grant and Nadim arrive at their next stop, a nearby village that barely counts as a 'town', they find that it has just been "cleaned up". The violent explosion brought a strong roar, and then a golden-red figure flew out of the smoke and fire of the explosion, and instantly disappeared into the distant sky.
"Being rich is different."
Looking at the old jeep he had captured from the militants, Grant sighed. It's just that Nadim is not satisfied again.
"Money is only one aspect, what is more important is technology, wisdom and vision. If it's really just about money, then why didn't you see Theron fly out of a plane of that kind of thing? ”
Grant laughed, "Are you saying that Theron is brainless and short-sighted?" I'd love to record your words and show them to her. ”
Theron, they say, is Free and Peace -- one of the leaders of their six-person global organization, Africa. According to Nadim, she could become richer than anyone else in the world in a matter of hours if she wanted to, including Tony Stark. However, unlike Stark, who inherited the legacy and carried it forward, Theron relied on his superpowers. Of course, under normal circumstances, Theron will not turn on cheat mode. Even if you need it, you will only taste it.
"Alright, let's stop next."
After laughing, Grant said. As a result, he was interrupted by Nadim.
"There's no next stop in the area we know." Although there were far fewer people than Grant, Nadimu turned out to be more energetic than the former, "It's time for you to take a break, man." ”
This is not surprising. Lately, Grant has been devising a way to launch an attack based on the information provided by Nadim. Its degree of care can be called "forgetting to sleep and eat". Besides, when the real confrontation is against fire, he is still the main force. Living such a life, it is inevitable to be a little haggard.
Seeing that Grant did not speak, Nadim spoke again.
"So be it. Find a place to rest nearby, and I'll explore the last part of the mountain, trying to find out where the armed leader is hiding as soon as possible. When the time comes, you will be able to put your energy to use. ”
After feeling the condition of his body, Grant felt that this was the only way to go. Nodding to Nadim, Grant parked the car behind a rock, and went to a more secluded place to rest.
When he woke up, it was already night.
Grant was woken up by Nadim. Looking at the excited look of the other party, it is estimated that it brings good news.
Sure enough, after seeing Grant wake up, Nadim immediately shouted, "I found him." Man, I've found that armed leader! ”
Shaking his brain, which was still a little unfavorable, Grant also laughed: "How many hours did you find him?" Well done man! ”
"A few hours? No, no, no. The excitement cooled down a lot, and Nadim helped Grant and looked his body up and down, "You've been sleeping for more than thirty hours. ”
"What?!"
Grant jumped up from the ground in surprise. After learning from Nadim's expression that the other party was not lying, he quickly began to check his physical condition.
There were no signs of injuries on the body, and there were no signs of poisoning or ingestion of certain gases or agents. Bounce, punch and kick, twist the waist, exert force, etc., are no problem at all. Hearing, vision, skin touch, etc. have not become dull or anything, and the thinking is quite clear. Why is it that I sleep for more than 30 hours?
Grant suddenly thought of a possibility. He forcibly suppressed the hope and excitement in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent and asked Nadim, "Did you see anything special happen to me during that time?" Like, well, a blue light coming out? ”
As a result, under Grant's gaze, Nadimu shook his head: "No. ”
"Are you sure?"
Grant asked reluctantly, and Nadim thought helplessly for a while, and then gave the answer that Grant didn't want.
"I've been back three times before. The first two times I stayed for more than ten minutes, the last time for an hour, and I never saw the kind of change you said, not even anything special - except that you were asleep all the time. If there's one thing I have to say, it's that you've slept soundly. You know, no frowning eyebrows, no sunken corners of the mouth, it feels like you're dreaming well. That's all I know. In fact, I thought it was because you were too tired. By the way, did you dream about anything? ”
At this time, Grant's face was a look of disappointment that could not be concealed. He also tried to mobilize by induction, but unfortunately found nothing. Hearing Nadim's question, he thought hard. It was true that he remembered something, but he was a little unsure: "A piece of blue, and then ...... Disappear? ”
"Ahem, man, armed chief......"
Nedimu's interruption succeeded in waking Grant from a state of confusion.
"Well, well, oK, you're right." Moving his body for a moment, Grant perked up, "Let's go." ”
"It's long overdue." Nadimu also breathed a sigh of relief, "While it's still night, let's implement the 'beheading plan' you said!" ”
"Then I'll have to go over there and see how it goes."
More than three hours later, they came to a small hillside outside the camp where the armed leader was. Coincidentally, Grant, who had just picked up the binoculars, happened to see a group of vehicles drive into the place where the lights were on.
"Looks like you need to go in and take a spin."
"Why?"
Nadimu took the telescope from Grant's hand, and then knew why Grant said that. The new group of people who entered were all brightly dressed, and even the soldiers were majestic. In contrast, the militants are left with only "obscenity". And then there's the vehicle. The militants did not know how to get their hands on batches of Stark weapons and ammunition, but the vehicles were always quite old. This time, it was set off by the gang's car, which was even more unsightly.
"Damn, how come the multiplier of this telescope isn't a little higher. Otherwise, you might be able to find out what the gang is about. ”
Grant took the telescope back and spat out as he looked inside: "The magnification of the telescope is not the better. The brightness will not be enough, and there will be problems such as picture shaking. It's our position that's too far for this pair of telescopes. If you snatch something from someone's hand, you will use it. Okay, it's time to go in. ”
Retracting his gaze from the binoculars, Grant looked at Nadimu. Nadim nodded, and was about to set off, when he suddenly turned around.
"You'll wait until I'm back, oK?"
Grant looked at the other party speechlessly: "oK, oK." You've said it many times. ”
"But several times you rushed in out of the blue." Nadimu was still not at ease, "And I'm still inside!" ”
"Be considerate, I need to make immediate judgments based on changing circumstances. In fact, I'm going to get a little closer to that side when you get out, and see if I can get more information. Besides, you can escape underground as soon as possible, and there is no danger at all. ”
"Almost got into an accident several times, you know!" In fact, Nadimu only complained casually, his main purpose was to divert Grant's attention from those thirty-odd hours, "Also, you better not come closer, listen to my news as before." ”
"Well, you have the final say."
(PS: There was a bug in the previous article.) There is a saying on the Internet that the headquarters of Steel 1 Stack Industries is in Irvine, California, and that the Avengers 1 is only a branch in Manhattan, New York - well, the villa is in Malibu, California, and it is indeed unreasonable to run on both sides of an east coast and a west coast. In addition, Pepper in Steel 2 had to fly from the office to the Stark Show in New York, so the headquarters should not be in New York. Just settle in California, try not to mention specific place names, and if you really can't avoid it, take the city of Irvine. If you have further information, please let us know. )
