Chapter 1877: The Madman's Journey (53)
"Can the robot you built move?"
Schiller strode into the entrance of the cave, looked at Stark and said, the serious expression on his face made Stark's questioning words back in his stomach, and he was about to answer, Schiller said quickly: "The nearby rebel bases have been fully bombed, it is no longer safe here, and the locals are organizing an evacuation." ”
"If you're leaving, now is the best chance to grab a supply truck with your robot and drive all the way south to government territory, and they'll send you back to the United States."
With that, Schiller began to pack his things in the cave, Stark stood where he was, and just as Schiller bent down to pick up his coat, he saw a black hole pointed at him.
"Who the hell are you?" Stark asked, staring at Schiller.
Schiller let go of his grip on his coat, slowly straightened up, his hands hanging at his sides, looked at Stark and said, "I told you a long time ago that I am not your savior, nor your friend. ”
"Answer my question, Dr. Schiller." Stark just stared into Schiller's eyes from behind the muzzle.
"Did you find this helpful?" Schiller took a slight step forward, but Stark, who was holding a thermal weapon, took a step back, Schiller tilted his head slightly and squinted his eyes and said, "Did anyone tell you anything?" ”
"Answer me!" Stark almost roared.
"I'm a killer, and it's my job to kill you, so can you put the gun down now and stop struggling?"
Schiller's tone was so flat that Stark couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but he was pretty sure that the small pistol with only two bullets in his hand might not pose a mortal threat to Schiller even at such a close distance, and if what Schiller said was true, then he would be dead today.
"Then why didn't you kill me in the first place?"
"You're getting a little annoying." Schiller turned around and went back to pick up his coat, ignoring Stark's anger at all, but said to himself: "But you don't want to go back to the United States, then hurry up and pack your pile of things, and we will evacuate with the big army." ”
Stark slowly lowered his gun, and he walked briskly back to the lab table, reaching out his arm and tapping a button.
With a "bang", an arm stretched out from the scrap pile, and the robot, which had only half of its body exposed, looked up, its eyes flashing with scarlet light.
Schiller looked back at the huge robot slowly rising from the scrap pile, a huge cave for humans, but a little cramped for it, it could only half-kneel on the ground and stretched out its hand to Stark.
Stark turned to Schiller and said, "Do you regret not killing me sooner?" Well? ”
Schiller's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the giant robot, and Stark noticed that he was very serious about looking at the robot from head to toe, and that focused gaze reminded Stark of a child crouching in front of a mall shelf looking at robot toys.
Suddenly, Schiller turned his head to look out of the hole.
"Hurry up, we're running out of time." Schiller hurriedly grabbed his things, Stark had to immediately pack up some important equipment, he looked back at the huge robot he had built, and followed Schiller to the mouth of the cave.
"Are you going to leave it here?"
"I can start it at any time, it will fly, and it's definitely a lot faster than you think."
Schiller turned to look at him and said, "You can try to kill me and everyone here with it." ”
"I'm not you, I'm not a killer."
The two left the cave one after the other, and the local bearded man glanced at Schiller, then at Stark, who was following him, and said nothing, waving his hand and letting them into a truck.
Schiller sat in the driver's seat and drove, Stark got into the co-pilot, and as soon as he got into the car, Stark turned to look at Schiller and said, "Are you a hydra?" I thought this old antique organization would have been wiped out a long time ago. ”
Schiller looked up at the position of the bomber in the sky, turned the steering wheel and said: "Any terrorist organization in this world lives longer than you think." ”
"Tell me what the hell is going on?" Stark looked at the smoke and dust from the explosion of missiles in the distance and said, "Government forces, anti-government forces, US military, Hydra, mercenaries, what the hell are they doing here?" ”
Schiller, who was busy driving, turned his head to look at Stark and fell silent.
Stark slammed the car window, opened his mouth wide and raised his voice, "You can't keep me from knowing anything, it makes me feel like everything has to do with me!" ”
"Shut up." Schiller narrowed his eyes and looked out the window on the other side.
Suddenly, a "whoosh" grenade sounded out of the window, Schiller twisted the steering wheel suddenly, and Stark's head hit the window glass hard.
Blood obscured the vision of one eye, but Stark looked in the direction of Schiller's line of sight, and he saw a familiar sign, the emblem of Eric's mercenary legion.
Several off-road vehicles and pickup trucks chased after their car and seemed to want to overtake from the side to intercept, Schiller pushed the gear lever hard and kicked the accelerator, and the truck sped out at maximum horsepower.
"What the hell is going on? Why are they chasing us?! Stark said, clutching his aching forehead.
"Can't you just be quiet for a while?!" Schiller raised his voice very rarely, and shouted at Stark.
"But I fucking want to know what the hell is going on!! Tell me quickly!! Otherwise I'll go to hell and continue to bother you!! ”
Schiller drove in silence, quickly leaving his pursuers behind, and after about twenty minutes, Schiller braked so hard that Stark almost knocked off his front teeth, and when he looked up, he found that the car had driven to a cliff, surrounded by dense forests and cliffs.
Rumbling thunder came from afar, dense dark clouds pressed low, and the water vapor in the air signaled that heavy rain was coming.
Schiller and Stark pushed the door and got out of the car and ran quickly towards the side of the rock wall, Stark said as he ran: "It's not a way to go on like this, I'll call Iron Wall 1 over." ”
"No, follow me."
Schiller and Stark made their way through the mountains as fast as they could, and soon they came to the other side of the huge cliff, and when they pushed aside the bushes, Stark saw the familiar military sign on the cliff face, which was a huge laboratory gate.
Schiller went to the counter to operate, the door quickly opened, he walked in and beckoned to Stark, who walked in with some hesitation.
Then he found that it was an abandoned base, full of sand and dust as far as the eye could see, and that the tables and chairs had fallen to the ground crookedly when he walked in, and that there were suspicious blood stains on the walls.
"Where is this?"
"An abandoned lab." Schiller moved a chair and sat down, while Stark sat across from him.
"Now you can tell me what the hell is going on, right?"
"They want your brain."
Stark froze.
"Who?" He asked in surprise.
"Everyone."
"Someone has revealed that you are still alive." Schiller put it succinctly: "The people think you're dead, and the terrorists in Afghanistan are responsible for your death, but if you're not dead, it means they can get you without the responsibility of kidnapping." ”
Stark didn't turn the corner for a moment, but he quickly realized that the purpose of these people was no different from that of this group of terrorists.
To put it simply, kidnapping or killing Tony Stark is a huge pressure that almost no one in this world can bear, because Stark represents a class.
If anyone dares to use such violent means against the largest capitalist in the world, then other people belonging to this class will not let the murderers go, and must let them die an ugly death as a deterrent to ensure their own safety.
But now the situation is that the murderer is confirmed to be a terrorist in Afghanistan, and the Stark Group and other capitalists have begun to retaliate, which corroborates the death of Tony Stark's social identity.
This also means that Stark no longer has social value, but only his genius brain, as long as he can kidnap him, he can control him to work for himself for a lifetime, and he does not have to pay any price, after all, it is impossible for a person to die twice, and the terrorists in Afghanistan have already paid the price.
Stark looked at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "So they're all here to kidnap me?" ”
Schiller looked up at him and didn't speak, Stark raised his head and sighed and said, "Okay, Stark is so popular, the most showy party star in the world, eh?" ”
"Wait." Stark suddenly realized something, and he said, "Who let out the news that I'm still alive?" ”
"It can't be that group of terrorists, they still expect me to make weapons for them, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attract others to rob me."
Stark just wanted to ask Schiller if it was him, but Schiller looked at him with the kind of eyes that looked like an idiot, and then Stark reacted that Schiller was also one of the people who came into contact with him, and he was already a winner like that group of terrorists, and there was no need to add competitors to himself.
At this moment, Eric's anxious expression passed through his mind, Stark's facial features were compacted together, and he muttered to himself: "I just feel that something is wrong, if he can't understand what I'm going to do, it means that he is not a hero, in that case, why do you have to take me away?" ”
Then Stark remembered that Schiller had said before that this group of mercenaries was doing dirty work for the military, so it was possible to hunt him down instead of the military.
In connection with the screams that came from Eric's walkie-talkie before, the mercenary organization he belonged to was wiped out, so who killed it? And why do you want to extinguish your mouth?
If the news that Stark is still alive is spread by Eric, everything will be explained, and the military is not trying to destroy the mercenary organization, but to destroy Eric.
Because it was Eric who told the military the news, Eric knew that the military knew that Stark was alive, and only when Eric was dead could the military excuse himself and say that he didn't know.
"Have you heard of the Ten Rings?" Schiller said suddenly.
Stark was slightly stunned, and after recalling for a while, he shook his head, Schiller lowered his head and straightened his trousers and said, "Remember when you asked those locals to find the Stark Group's missiles?" ”
Stark nodded, and Schiller spoke again: "There are not many areas that have been bombed, and there are even fewer that have just exchanged fire, and they have found a place along the rut marks of the car you drove earlier, where there are shrapnel from Stark Group missiles. ”
"That's where I was first attacked!" Stark said a little anxiously: "Did they find a complete missile?" Brought it back? ”
"They don't need to find the complete missiles anymore." Schiller pulled something out of the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Stark.
Stark was startled by the strange feel when he took the object, and he looked down to see that it was a tattooed human skin.
"This is the tattoo of the Ten Rings Gang, it was the Ten Rings Gang who kidnapped you."
"And who instructed them?"
"The Ten Rings are an organization that is active in the Asian border region, with bases in Afghanistan and Mexico."
"Mexican ......" Stark muttered as he looked down at the pattern, closing his eyes in some pain, but finally speaking, "Obadiah...... Before I came to Afghanistan, Obadiah had been to Mexico twice, and we didn't have any business with there. ”
But Schiller changed his words and said in Stark's shocked gaze: "Yes, but their attack was unsuccessful, and the second attack on you was Hydra, that is, me." ”
