Chapter 40 The Mark Generation

"Bang, bang, bang."

In Tony's workshop, the sound of iron striking sounded rhythmically.

With Ethan's help, the first generation of Mark has made rapid progress. With the completion of the face armor, this set of external armor is only short of the last step of assembly.

According to Simon's notice, the difficult mandarin had been dragged by Kratos, and Tony didn't want to waste time. While notifying the start of the operation on the panel, he entered the final stage of armoring.

Use leather pads on important joints to reduce the damage caused by friction. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire outside the cave, Tony puts on each part of the first generation of Mark one by one.

He wants to use this suit to surprise the terrorists.

"Hey, Ethan, be happy, you will see your wife and daughter soon."

Tony was still in a mood to comfort... Ethan, who seemed a little nervous.

In the dim light, Ethan's expression showed some indescribable meaning, and he said:

"Yeah, wish me luck."

"Over there, tighten that hexagonal screw." Tony commanded: "Start the power system now."

"How?" Ethan asked.

"F11, see the progress bar? Then..."

After a flurry of operations, the power system entered the reading stage. Tony cooperated with Ethan to put on the armor, and at the same time gave the final instructions:

"Listen Ethan, I will clear this camp, before that you don't..."

There was an explosion at the workshop door, setting off the bomb they had pre-planted on the door.

The terrorists realized that the attackers outside were likely to rescue him, a billionaire.

Tony looked at the gate and saw that no one had broken in before continuing: "Before then, don't run around, and leave according to the previously discussed route."

But Ethan didn't seem to hear it, just staring at the progress bar, he realized a serious problem.

It's too late.

Without hesitation, he just said "I'll buy you time" and rushed out without hesitation.

Tony tries to stop Ethan, but he can't move until the powertrain kicks in.

A burst of gunfire rang out, and Tony had an ominous premonition.

The progress bar finally came to an end, and the somewhat ugly and bloated main body of the first-generation Mark armor made the already low cave even more cramped.

Tony put on the visor, manipulated the armor somewhat unskillfully, and walked out quickly.

The effect of the battle suit was as good as Tony expected. The bullets hit the armor and were all bounced off. However, under the power of the Ark reactor, his iron fist was like a battering ram. human life.

With anxiety and unspeakable anger, Tony relentlessly killed all the way, and finally saw Ethan lying in a pool of blood near the exit of the cave.

This scene pierced his heart.

Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Tony already regards the savior as an important friend.

But at this moment, Ethan is dying in order to buy time for himself.

Even though he knew that Ethan's injuries were inevitable, Tony couldn't help but said: "Stand up Ethan, your family is still waiting for you." '

"No, Tony." Ethan's attitude towards death was more like relief, and he said to Tony: "My family is dead, in the small town of Gamila."

"..."

Tony Stark suddenly remembered what Ethan had said to him.

"He who should have everything, has nothing."

Tony originally thought that Ethan was teasing himself for being rich but having no wife and children, but at this moment he realized that Ethan was actually laughing at himself.

He realized painfully that Ethan's family died at the hands of the weapon he developed, those terrorists spent his whole life massacring civilians, and in places he couldn't see, how many "Ethan" were displaced, It hurts so much.

Ethan had already died in Gemila, and what was active before was just a body.

As Ethan mentioned, the "walking corpses" surviving on car batteries after an armed raid.

Tony had never hated the first half of his life as much as he did now.

However, his pitiful apology was more like a ruthless mockery in front of this man, and Ethan didn't need his "sorry".

"Thank you Ethan, you saved my life."

"Then cherish it, Tony, and do something more meaningful."

Under Tony's mournful gaze, the exhausted Dr. Ethan Rocmardini took his last breath.

The gunfire outside became more and more intense, and several terrorists walked into the cave again, and they were about to shoot when they saw Tony in armor.

When Tony was ready to fight back, he was taken a step ahead.

This is a girl with long pink hair. She first shot an enemy at close range with a Glock, and then quickly moved among the enemy group, using her vigorous skills to knock down all the terrorists to the ground in ten seconds.

Tony could see clearly that the woman's last swing of the fist broke the enemy's cervical spine.

Pretty scary power.

She walked up to herself, looked around, and asked, "Are you Tony Stark?"

At this moment, Tony's perspective is much higher than that of this girl, and he responded in a low tone: "It's me."

"I am Victoria, the third-level agent of SHIELD. Catherine should have mentioned me to you. I am responsible for taking you out of this place." She glanced at Ethan's body and continued: "Now is not the time to be sad, terrorists The resistance is tenacious, and you are not out of danger."

Who is Catherine?
It doesn't matter, Simon did say that there will be an agent named Victoria to pick him up.

But he doesn't want to leave at all right now.

Tony pressed his lower helmet to hide his expression, and the voice from the armor became even deeper:

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to kill them all."

"Wow! Just what I wanted."

Unexpectedly, the agent did not continue to persuade, but picked up an assault rifle from the ground, checked the bolt and magazine, and said eagerly:

"Then let's have a good time!"

Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, these stubborn terrorists were slaughtered like cattle. Facing the raids of elite soldiers and special agents, they had no advantage at all, and they just relied on the location to hold on. However, under Tony's strong attack, their Resistance was quickly broken down.

When the gunshots stopped completely, Tony felt that he had lost all his strength. If it wasn't for the support of his battle suit, he would have slumped to the ground at this moment.

Walking out of the camp, Tony saw his old friend Rhodes, and saw a familiar bald man, but none of these people's attention was on him, to be exact, everyone's attention was not on him , but stared into the distance dumbfounded.

Tony couldn't help but follow everyone's gaze.

Then he understood why everyone was so surprised.

Tony had never seen this scene in his life.
