Eric and Stark stopped at the campsite, and when they saw each other, Tony regretted why he had stopped.

"It's always good every time I meet this guy, I hope today is an exception." He muttered in the car that instead of getting out, Pepper went over to greet Eric.

The female assistant remembered that the last time she was at the charity gala, she was sometimes a little embarrassed, but it was not night, and she was dressed in professional attire, so her old shrewdness returned, and after a laughing conversation, the two waves pitched their tents at opposite ends of the campsite, and they had to live together tonight.

Car camping as a tourism model is quite popular in North America, and can even be said to be a part of daily life, 1/3 of the tourist accommodation facilities, 1/3 of the travel time, and 1/3 of the tourist land in the form of camping, the number of campers per year exceeds 20 million, and the annual income of the campsite is more than 2oo billion US dollars.

However, business here is not very hot, and the main reason is because it is one place; Not; Wrong; + Federal Camp, owned by the Federal Bureau of Works, like most public schools or public sites, the facilities at this public camp are a bit old, and there is no hot water at night, so tourists usually don't spend the night here, so Eric and Tony were able to occupy the area.

Now they divided the camp into two halves, each with a water source and a restroom, took out sleeping bags around the small rooms, set up tents, and after consulting with the caretaker who stayed there, they lit campfires and used them to roast small foods such as corn, marshmallows, and sausages.

The camp at night is quite lively, the students always have endless energy, out of the nature of young people, they bring more snacks, the fragrance soon dispersed, and I saw a little green light in the distance, it is estimated that there are coyotes visiting. Coyotes are common wild animals in the Big 6, fearful, not very aggressive, and used to hunting alone. Because of the human settlement, they now mainly operate at night.

The girls were not afraid of these ferocious-looking creatures and ran over to tease them, but before they could get around, they turned around and slipped away.

Tony's side is relatively deserted, he brought a group of professional bodyguards this time, it seems that the suit and leather shoes are very strict, when Eric came over, someone specially greeted and asked, and only let him in after Pepper's guarantee.

"Seeing you surrounded again, how are you doing?" Eric walked over to the campfire and sat down and asked casually, though Pepper didn't say it explicitly. But he knew that the assistant lady wanted her employer to be in good health.

However, Tony is always hard-mouthed, and he doesn't seem to appreciate it much.

"Very good, wonderful. Even when the entire country went bankrupt, Stark kept going. ”

"At that point, the dollar will depreciate, and your money will become a pile of waste paper." Pepper interjected next to her, hoping that Eric would use his abilities to help Tony remove the metal shrapnel from his body, so she hurriedly suppressed her employer's arrogance so as not to upset others.

"That's better." Tony laughed, the last thing he wanted was to see Pepper hit himself in front of others. "At that time, we can take advantage of the situation to expand our exports, and no one will cost the same product less than us. And I still have gold in my vault. Cargo ships are parked in the harbor, mountains of minerals are piled up underground, and safes are filled with national government bonds. Even if the whole world ends together, we won't fall, do you know why? ”。

"Because you're a good leader?" Eric laughed. He took the drink from Pepper.

"No," Tony solemnly pointed to his head. "Because there's one of the brightest brains in the world."

Eric smiled, "To your brain." ”

He and Tony drank it all.

A bright flame rose, and the heat gradually became overwhelming, and Tony wanted to stand up. Seeing that Eric was still sitting in place, he dismissed the thought again.

"Don't you have anything to say to me, I can do you a small favor." Eric winked at him. "It's free this time."

Pepper immediately agreed for Tony. But Tony didn't move, he looked at the blazing flames in distraction, and suddenly refused.

"Why?" Pepper asked, incredulously.

"That's a good question." Tony thought for a moment, then clapped his palm. "Because I'm Iron Man."

The conversation broke up, Pepper chased Tony into the room, Eric went back to his car, the girls mostly slept in the camp's rented rooms, and the boys slept in tents, and he had the spacious space in the car to himself for the night.

Lying on his back on a simple air cushion, Eric stared at the stars outside the window, no matter what world he was in, it seemed that the stars were always the same, after going through many hardships, those familiar faces left his side one by one, and what he could really communicate with was these big fireballs hundreds of millions of light years away.

Suddenly, he wanted to have another drink and pay tribute to the guys who were always with him.

Before he could put this impulse into action, the door slammed twice, and a curvaceous figure crept in from the outside.

“mj？” Eric recognized the visitor.

Closed the car door with her hand, and the next second the secretary lady pounced, her mind had just gone through a fierce conflict, her chest was rising and falling fiercely, her bright eyes were shining with crystal waves, her plump body was hot and soft, she just hugged Eric, and kissed him on the corner of the mouth.

However, the warm palm of her hand blocked her lips.

"I think Harry's husband is the one waiting for you." Eric said gently, helping her to comb her loose hair back to the back of her head.

"Why, because of your business?" The fiery heart was poured with a bucket of cold water, and Mary Jane's love xù was a little excited. "I won't surround you all day, don't tell me that you are actually a decent gentleman."

"No, I just feel like sometimes I have to obey my own moral code." Eric's voice was soft, but firm.

The girl who gradually retreated from the impulse was stunned for a while before accepting the reality that she was not a scoundrel woman, so she could only retreat.

"God, I have become a saint." Mary Jane picked up her clothes and complained. "You're obviously in a relationship with all three women."

She was referring, of course, Jean and Auroro, as well as Miss Susan, who had appeared at the ball.

"Actually, you said one less, it's four." Eric didn't mean to show off, he just wanted to dispel her idea as much as he could.

"Okay, I see." Dressed neatly, Mary Jane pointed to Eric's chest. "I remember you, the first person who gave me a taste of rejection."

Although dissatisfied, she quickly returned to her tent. After all this disturbance, Eric had no intention of sleeping, and he left the car and went to the campfire.

"Oh, what have I appeared, a saint?" Under the watchful eye of the night guards in the distance, Tony was sitting on a chair by the fire and carefully wiping his steel helmet, with a wine jar and a glass next to it. Seeing Eric approaching, he pretended to imitate the girl's tone.

"Shame on eavesdropping, Stark husband." Eric replied to the prodigal son. "And I'm not like you."

"Don't hide it, I can see that we are human beings. Also, I didn't eavesdrop. I'm just adjusting the receiver and your voice is amplified by it and running into my ears. Tony raised his helmet at him before continuing.

"I'm curious about you, we've known each other for a short time, but I'll say I'm already familiar with you. Eric, you're the kind of weirdo, and this time you refused to send the pretty female secretary to the door, 'occasionally obeying your own moral code'—brother, has anyone ever told you not to stretch your tone too much? ”

"Never." Eric replied truthfully.

"Then there is today." Tony lowered his helmet and stared at the other.

There is something strange about the relationship between the two of them.

On the one hand, Tony is somewhat grateful to Eric, after all, when he was attacked and everyone was powerless, it was Eric who found the cave where he was imprisoned, and on the other hand, he was sensitive to the fact that Eric's motives were not pure, Osborne and Obadei's affairs showed that he had another purpose, and Eric himself never concealed the use of Tony.

The same is true for Eric, who agrees with Tony's talent and character, but also because of his position.

The relationship made them appreciate each other and be unapproachable, but no one bothered them that night, so they were able to talk freely, and soon talked about Tony's troubles.

"Fragments? It doesn't work, they're not the biggest killers anymore. Tony's motive tapping on the chest. It is. ”

"Palladium poisoning?" Eric remembered those plots, and then looked at Tony's neck and the corners of his eyes, and sure enough, there were already faint signs of darkening blood vessels.

"Not bad, but don't try to dismantle it." Stopping Eric's words, Tony spoke to himself. "When I got a taste of flying, I was no longer willing to walk on the ground. All those who wonder why Iron Man risked his life again and again, they would not be surprised again if they could feel the indescribable excitement of flying in armor, because this is who I am, and I will never give up my life until I am sure that there is something more precious to me than it. ”

"Even at the cost of life?" Eric asked.

"Even at the cost of life!" Tony replied.

The tone of the former sentence is inquiring, but the tone of the latter sentence is extremely firm.

"To Iron Man." Eric finally broke the habit of not drinking a second drink a day, and he raised his glass to Tony, to which he responded calmly.

Far away from the guest room, Pepper, accompanied by Roddy and the young man known as the captain, watched as the two men drinking around the campfire, who eventually did not come. (To be continued......)
