Chapter 1: What to do when you cross over to a terrorist base?
Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the clouds are like silk veils around the moon.
Lu Mingfei ran desperately on the way home, feeling like he was going to be finished.
The winter vacation is coming to an end, and he was going to indulge one last time before school starts, going to the Internet cafΓ© to play two interstellar games, but he happened to meet a few masters in a row, not to mention the fun, and someone in the Internet cafΓ© noticed his operation.
As a result, there were more and more onlookers, and Lu Mingfei lost himself in the bursts of cheers, and played until late at night without paying attention.
He could already imagine how his aunt would roar at him when he went back, and he was afraid that the real lion would only hang down his mane and kneel to accept the power of the Thunder Monarch when he came.
But this is also something that can't be helped, in his more than ten years of small transparent career, this is the only opportunity for him to enjoy attention, praise, and even worship in the middle of the crowd, anyone who comes will be lost in it, unless someone has been lacking in light from childhood to adulthood.
Panting, Lu Mingfei raised his head and deeply wiped a tear for his upcoming tragic fate of being scolded by his aunt.
A meteor streaked across the night sky, particularly dazzling and bright, and it flew fast, as hurried as Lu Mingfei who was running desperately.
"Meteor, meteor, if you can really fulfill your wish, let me get rid of the next tragic fate!"
Lu Mingfei looked at the meteor and said in his heart.
Immediately, he felt a darkness in front of him, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
In the moment before he completely lost consciousness, a thought flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind-
If I break the phase, will Chen Wenwen hate me?
β¦β¦
Cold, hard......
Lu Mingfei was lying down, feeling that his head was very painful, very painful, just like he was accidentally smashed by a vase when he was decorating the literary club in his second year of high school.
But Lu Mingfei was very happy that day, he was happy in pain, happy in pain, and hearty in pain - because Chen Wenwen was shushing him for half a day, caring and caring, gentle like a thrush wrapped in clouds.
Thinking of these, Lu Mingfei felt that his head didn't hurt so much, and Chen Wenwen's shadow seemed to appear in front of him.
The concern in her eyes is so soft, the curvature of her eyelashes is so graceful, the tear stains on her cheeks are distressing, and the hanging bangs are ......
Oh no! How did Chen Wenwen thank you!
Lu Mingfei was an agitated spirit, suddenly sobered up, and the "Chen Wenwen" in front of him dissipated like a bubble, turning into a middle-aged man with glasses.
He sat up on his bones, his arms propped up on his body and stepped back, and before he could retreat twice, his back against the uneven and hard cold rock wall.
Because of the sudden vigorous exercise, Lu Mingfei's eyes were dark, and the middle-aged man in front of him also became a silhouette in the darkness, only the orange flames leaping in the corner illuminated his forehead more and more shiny.
"He He...... Where is the demon, report, report the name! Lu Mingfei blurted out subconsciously, and immediately reacted that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words.
"Ho...... Who is the hero? He tucked his tongue, suddenly couldn't remember what to say in the second half of the sentence, licked his lips, and simply exclaimed, "Good man spare his life!" β
"He seems to be speaking Chinese." There was another voice in the corner.
Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly sudden, why are they still two heroes in the dark way?
And this good man seems to speak English.
With half-hung English, Lu Mingfei could barely understand their conversation, and another "good man", that is, the man in front of him, responded: "It should be Chinese, it may be an idiom, Chinese is already difficult, and idioms are even more difficult to understand." β
"Hell, I hate Chinese!" The "good man" in the corner muttered, "The Chinese test is the only time in my life that I didn't get a perfect score." β
is still a scholar!
Lu Mingfei hurriedly shouted in English: "I know English!" I speak English! Don't kill me! β
"Kill you?" The middle-aged man in front of him was stunned, and his tone was a little aggrieved, "We saved you!" β
β¦β¦
Half an hour later.
Lu Mingfei and two middle-aged men sat opposite each other in a triangle on the ground, and they had just passed a brief self-introduction and exchange.
The bald and glasses uncle is on Lu Mingfei's left, and the one on the right looks much better, with sound hair, deep and three-dimensional facial features, and a circle of embarrassing stubble at the corner of his mouth, plus the eyes that seem to be covered by something very heavy, it is simply a textbook-level melancholy uncle or decadent uncle temperament.
This kind of person in the bar only needs to sit at the bar counter, raise a glass of absinthe or whiskey and gaze, and make the little girl's brain make up a sad and compassionate, miserable, and heart-wrenching, suspected to be the love tragedy of the Milky Way for nine days.
The only strange thing was that there was a round glowing object on his chest, and the blue light showed through the fabric of his clothes.
"You're Dr. Ethan, and your name is Tony Stark, and you're a well-known weapons dealer and inventor." Lu Mingfei pointed to the two of them separately and confirmed.
Ethan nodded, and Tony looked incredulous: "You really don't know me?" Haven't seen my name on TV or on the news? β
"I'm a high school student, so how can I have time to pay attention to foreign news." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"You Chinese high school students are really hard." Tony sighed.
"So," Lu Mingfei pointed at Tony, "you were attacked by terrorists, imprisoned here to help them build missiles, and they said they would let you go when they built it, and in fact they would definitely kill you after you have no use value." β
"It's a bit snarky, but I've got to admit it's the truth." Tony spreads his hands.
"And I," Lu Mingfei pointed to the bandage on his head that had been bandaged several times, "an unknown person who fell from the sky at the gate of the terrorist base, when you were escorted by them to replenish the materials, you saw at the door that they were about to execute me, and saw that I was a child and asked me to come from them, nominally in need of a clever assistant, but in fact to save my life." β
"That's right," Tony nodded, "you're lucky, I don't get out of this ghost base every day, and if I'm one step too late, they'll be executed." β
"Executions are underway to be exact," Ethan added, "these people are probably trying to save bullets, and are going to hit your head with the butt of a gun and stone you to death, and when Tony sees you, you're already bloodied, and I'll give you a good wash before I bandage you." β
"By the way, your head is so hard, the average person may die if he is hit by the butt of a gun." Ethan's admiring tone made Lu Mingfei feel like his skull was some kind of cheap construction site helmet on a supermarket shelf.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, looked at Ethan and Tony, and looked a little calm that did not belong to this age: "So I just made a wish to the meteor on the way home, and then suddenly my eyes went dark, and when I woke up again, I came to this ghost place in the Middle East for some reason, and became a prisoner of terrorists, and I will be executed soon." β
Tony and Ethan nodded at the same time.
"It is also possible that the execution will be carried out by beating them alive." Lu Mingfei said again.
Tony and Ethan nodded again.
"I ...... I'm a little dizzy......" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, and the whole person fell back.
Ethan and Tony hurriedly got up to help him.
"That's not right! He seems to have fainted! β
"Quick! Pinch others! There's a battery there, why don't you give him a battery and do a heart pacemakerβ"
"Don't ...... Don't electricity, I'm afraid it hurts......"
After a rush of scramble.
Lu Mingfei finally returned to normal.
"Your mental quality is too poor." Tony complained.
"Yes, it's too bad, but I knew that I didn't have a few days to live, so I was scared and fainted on the spot......" Lu Mingfei cried and sat on the ground, "Am I dreaming, how can I wake up, pinching my thighs doesn't work......"
"Don't say that, Tony," Dr. Ethan walked over with a glass of water and handed it to Lu Mingfei, "I think he's very powerful as a high school student, it's hard for ordinary people to stay calm when they're suddenly in this kind of environment, and it's more likely that they suddenly become crazy because of too much pressure and stimulation." β
Dr. Ethan patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and comforted and encouraged him, like a kindergarten teacher: "You are already great to be able to calm down so quickly." β
"Thank you." Lu Mingfei took the water weakly.
He has calmed down, but he is so cowardly that he doesn't even dare to react more, so it looks like he will calm down immediately, but in fact, his mind is now full of mixed paste, so thick that he can use it to stick the spring couplets.
Lu Mingfei knows himself too well, what would suddenly become crazy because of pressure and stimulation...... How dare he go crazy?
"Well, I'll admit that I don't necessarily perform better than you at your age," Tony looked at Ethan, "so I thought we might be able to tell him." β
"Are you sure?" Ethan was a little surprised.
"Tell what?" Lu Mingfei was even more surprised.
"Actually, Ethan and I are building a weapon to get out of here." Tony Road.
"You want to ......" Lu Mingfei subconsciously exclaimed, and immediately lowered his voice and said in a very small volume, "You want weapons to escape?" β
"You don't have to be afraid, although we are monitored, but the camera does not transmit sound, and the sound in this cave is difficult to transmit," Tony said, "And what you just said is Chinese, they don't understand, in fact, I don't understand it." β
Lu Mingfei reacted to the fact that he was too surprised just now, so he subconsciously took out his native language, and changed it to his broken English and said, "Aren't you afraid that they will kill us after being discovered?" β
"If I do build Jericho missiles for them, we'll be killed," Tony shrugged, "I'll be fine even if I find out, they'll beat me up at most, tell me to be honest and continue to build missiles for them." β
"You're going to be okay?" Lu Mingfei grasped the blind spot, "What about us?" β
"If I can get out afterwards, I'll take care of your family, I think about what you told me," Tony confirmed, "Your name is Lu Mingfei, right, my father's name is Lu Lincheng, and my mother's name is Giovanni, two archaeologists flying around the world, living in my uncle's house, and my uncle's name is Lu Gucheng......"
"Stop, I said stop," Lu Mingfei hurriedly interrupted him, "You said as if I was about to die and was confessing my last words." β
"Don't worry, you won't die, we won't die," Ethan stepped forward, his wide and warm palm pressed on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "We will escape together." β
"But there should be a lot of terrorists outside, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it's useless, they give us a shot and we'll hang up." Lu Mingfei went to Shilan Middle School, an aristocratic high school, and participated in live-fire target shooting during military training, so he knew the power of bullets very well.
Holding on to the last shred of hope, he asked, "Or do we have any of us who will make body armor and bulletproof helmets?" β
"We've got something a hundred times better than that." Tony smiled.
β¦β¦
Since then, Lu Mingfei has become Tony and Ethan's "assistant".
Of course, because he doesn't know anything, his only job as an "assistant" is to help Tony Ethan bring tea and water, and help wipe their sweat and hand things while they work.
This is very simple for Lu Mingfei, after all, he also does this in the literary club.
"I still don't understand, why did you trust me on the first day we met," Lu Mingfei said suspiciously while serving Tony tea and wiping his sweat, "Aren't you afraid that I was sent by terrorists to spy on you?" β
"First of all, your skin is not what people should be if they have lived in a hostile environment for a long time, you must have grown up in a peaceful place," Tony said as he welded something on the workbench without looking up, "There is no such member among the terrorists." β
"And you speak Chinese very fluently, at least to the extent of your native language," Ethan said, "either you are really Chinese, or you have studied Chinese specifically." β
"But Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world, and it's unlikely that such people can be found in terrorist organizations," Tony said casually, "and for them, elementary school graduation is considered a high degree." β
For the first time in his life, Lu Mingfei was praised for his high education.
"Of course, there's one more important reason," said Tony seriously, "I don't think you're a bad person. β
Lu Mingfei was flattered, and said in his heart that I actually had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but I didn't notice it all along......
"After all, you look too cowardly, and you've been wilting, and my gut tells me you're not pretending," Tony said slowly, "If I were a terrorist, I wouldn't have entrusted you with such an important job." β
"Damn." Lu Mingfei felt that he had been shot hard in the heart.
"And you look like a good boy," Ethan walked over, stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes, and smiled, "Human eyes don't deceive, I trust my own judgment and intuition." β
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
The last time he was so trusted was during the final exam, the head teacher said to him very trustingly: "Ming Fei, I believe that you will not take the penultimate exam, at least take the penultimate exam." β
"But you really shouldn't be like that," Tony walked over, "and from the moment you woke up, my instincts told me that you were actually a young man with a lot of potential, and if not as good as me, he should be a rare genius. β
"Me? Talented? Lu Mingfei blinked, "Uncle, don't trust your instincts in the future." β
Tony raised an eyebrow: "You don't believe me? β
"I don't believe in myself." Lu Mingfei is very self-aware.
"When you graduate, do you want to come to work in my company?" Tony asked, "I'll pay you 10 million a year." β
"Yen?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Dollars." Tony Road.
Lu Mingfei flew and hugged Tony's thigh: "The father-in-law is above, please bow to the child!" β
β¦β¦
As the days passed, the terrorists would come and deliver food, which was hard to eat, but good enough to eat.
In addition to experiencing insomnia on the first night, Lu Mingfei miraculously slept well in the following days, and even snored, and even felt that his heart was a bit outrageous.
Of course, it may also be because he can't do anything, so he can only quietly watch Tony and Ethan fight against the clock, and then wait for fate to give the final judgment.
No one will expect him to do anything, let alone expect him to be able to turn the tide and save everyone from the fire, he is just a little brother who brings tea and water to the hero, but even so, Lu Mingfei is already content, after all, the hero's horse boy is not everyone can be it.
Tony and Ethan are ostensibly building Jericho missiles, but in fact they are using the materials sent by the terrorists to create scattered parts.
Lu Mingfei didn't know anything about mechanics or engineering, and he couldn't see the use of these parts scattered all over the floor.
But Tony showed Lu Mingfei the drawings, which depicted a steel suit that looked like a giant style.
According to Tony, the steel suit is made of the finest metal, and can withstand even heavy machine gun fire.
Powered by the miniature ark reactor on Tony's chest, the steel suit will be invincible when it moves, and as long as the steel suit is built, Tony can take them out.
Lu Mingfei doesn't know much about technology, but he always thinks that this thing is not very scientific, but a bit sci-fi.
But it's good to be able to escape, as long as you can help them escape, not to mention science fiction, fantasy, fantasy, magic, whatever!
At the end of the day's work, the three of them sat on the ground together to rest, chatting aimlessly.
"What are you going to do when you escape?" Tony looked at Lu Mingfei.
"What else can I do, go home," Lu Mingfei made a shy face, "Big guy, you said that you have a lot of money, so can you use me a little air ticket and fare?" β
"I'll give you a private jet and a sports car," Tony waved his hand, "and when we get out, you can pick one in my garage." β
"No, no, no," Lu Mingfei waved his hand repeatedly, "We don't have this in vogue there." β
"But did you really see a meteor and appear here as soon as it got dark?" Tonymo rubbed his chin.
"Yes," Lu Mingfei cried with a sad face, "I would have known that I wouldn't have made a wish, and now I won't be scolded by my aunt, but my aunt will only scold me and won't hit my head with the butt of a gun." β
He touched the bandage on his head, and there was still a dull pain when his fingertips touched it.
"Don't worry, our steel suits have been made, and we'll get out tomorrow." Tony patted him on the shoulder.
"Huh? Run tomorrow? Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, "Won't it be too sudden, I'm not ready yet!" β
"I don't have time to prepare for you," Tony shook his head, "Before you were caught, the leader here was dissatisfied with my progress and threatened me with Ethan, and I could only give him a specific delivery date, which is the day after tomorrow." It will be too late to run when the time comes, so it will only be tomorrow. β
"I hope we can escape smoothly tomorrow," Lu Mingfei cried with a sad face, "I don't want to die, I haven't even pulled Chen Wenwen's hand!" β
"Damn! Why is that Chen Wenwen again! Tony suddenly became irritable.
In the past few days, the three of them have been in trouble together, and they have nothing to talk about when chatting, and Lu Ming unnaturally mentioned Chen Wenwen, a classmate he has always had a crush on.
When I first heard Lu Mingfei mention it, Ethan and Tony, as "people who came over", would look at each other and smile, listen to Lu Mingfei silently together, and feel the beauty of the relationship between young people and girls.
But as they listened, they sensed that something was wrong, and the more they listened, the more silent they became.
Especially Tony, who is a veteran of the love scene, when he heard Lu Mingfei say that he and Chen Wenwen have known each other for almost two and a half years, and the relationship is still an ordinary classmate, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and pluck out his ears again, as if he heard something unbearable.
It's been two and a half years! Two and a half years!
For Tony, who doesn't necessarily need to even score two and a half points to win a girl, Lu Mingfei is such a superlative, let alone see or listen, he hasn't even thought about it!
What's the difference between you and licking a dog? Aren't you just licking a dog! Tony couldn't help but complain and personally attacked Lu Mingfei.
To this, Lu Mingfei responded very seriously, saying that this is love, he is just silently liking Chen Wenwen, it is platonic spiritual love.
Tony's response to this was to kick Lu Mingfei in the ass.
"I kicked this for Plato!" Tony said.
At this moment, when he heard Lu Mingfei mention Chen Wenwen again, Tony couldn't help but sigh: "When we escape, come to me again after you go home, I'll take you out to see the world, cultivate a healthy concept of love, and save you from always mistaking licking dogs for affection." β
Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, Ethan couldn't help it, looked at Tony, and looked at Tony with a puzzled face: "Healthy concept of love?" β
"yes." Tony nodded.
"Mr. Tony Stark," Ethan complained, "what is your definition of a healthy concept of love?" Did you sleep with the cover girl of last year's Maxim magazine for twelve months? β
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
Tony immediately shook his head: "No, that's a rumor from the media. β
"Oh, I'm sorry......" Ethan looked apologetic.
"The truth is that the one in March is in conflict with my schedule, but luckily in December it's a pair of twin sisters." Tony Road.
Lu Mingfei and Ethan were silent at the same time.
"Why don't I introduce you to the one from March?" Tony looked at Lu Mingfei, "Or the pair in December is not bad, the experience of twins is definitely more novel than you think......"
"No, no, no, no, I'm a serious person!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly shook his head.
"Wipe your saliva." Ethan handed over a handkerchief.
