Chapter 34: The Captain's Despair as He Carries Out the Ringwraiths...
Because he hadn't yet built the Jericho missile that the Ten Rings had requested, Tony was currently getting a good beating from several burly Afghan men.
His assistant, Dr. Ethan, fared even worse...
The bald leader was about to stuff a red-hot piece of coal into his mouth.
Seeing this, Tony had no choice but to shout that he still needed Ethan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to build the Jericho missile to threaten the other side.
And this trick really worked; the bald leader's movements actually stopped.
But the bald leader also gave Tony a final deadline.
If he still doesn't see the Jericho missile he's been longing for by tomorrow, not only will Ethan die, but Tony himself won't escape death either!
As it turns out, Toby, this little butterfly that stumbled into this universe, did eventually influence Tony.
In the original movie, Tony had a full three months to build the first generation of the Iron Man suit.
But now, only two months after Tony was kidnapped, he is facing a death threat from terrorists that would have occurred three months later in the original story.
This left Tony feeling utterly dejected after the terrorists left...
Because forget about assembling a complete Iron Man suit by tomorrow, he hasn't even finished building all the parts, let alone the internal wiring system...
Even Ethan, Tony's mentor who had been comforting and encouraging him for the past two months, which was why Tony had been able to persevere until now, couldn't help but fall silent.
Although he wasn't a professional in the Iron Man armor field, he was well aware that it was still a long way from the complete Iron Man armor depicted in Tony's blueprints...
Ethan slumped weakly to the ground and looked at Tony:
"Tony, what do we do?"
Tony sighed and shrugged:
"What else can we do? Forget about the armor, even if I assembled the Jericho missiles they wanted right now, it would be too late..."
"So, in my opinion, we should just grab a wrench and wait at the door tomorrow. When that bastard comes in, we'll give him a good whack on his bald head. That way, at least we can take one of him with us."
Seeing Tony still in the mood to joke at a time like this, Ethan smiled helplessly:
"Please, Tony, you know this is impossible. We have security cameras here. Do you think he's stupid enough not to see us lying in ambush at the door?"
Tony's mentality has already started to give up:
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Grab a wrench and fight back, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Ethan wanted to give Tony a negative answer, but he couldn't think of any other way to escape.
Therefore, after half a day, he could only manage to utter one sentence:
"You're Tony Stark, the smartest man in America, and perhaps even in all of humanity. Can't you use your explosive brain to come up with a more dignified way to win than fighting them with a wrench?"
Ethan's casual remark actually gave Tony an idea, and his eyes lit up:
"Wait! Ethan, you just said explosive, right? You're a genius!"
"I've actually thought of a way to die more gracefully!"
"Remember all the explosives we secretly collected, and the fuel we planned to use as jet fuel for the armor after the MK1 was completed?"
"I can modify them into a hybrid incendiary bomb and blow those sons of bitches of terrorists up in the cave tomorrow!"
Ethan: ? ? ?
what?
Did I just say that you should go down with the terrorists and perish together?
But Ethan had no other choice at that moment.
Compared to being tortured to death by terrorists, being burned at the stake was indeed the most dignified way to die...
What's more, it can also take away a group of terrorists!
Both of them are science-oriented men and are action-oriented; they do what they say they will do.
Upon hearing the idea of modifying incendiary bombs, they immediately threw themselves into the work with great enthusiasm...
In the monitoring room, the bald leader smiled with satisfaction as he watched the two men working with great enthusiasm.
Sure enough, a mule won't work properly unless it's given a good whack; it only knows how to slack off!
Meanwhile, Toby, who was sleeping on the back of a hill not far from the cave, was unaware that his intrusion had caused so many changes...
Tony is even going to modify the Iron Man suits he used for escape into incendiary bombs for self-destruction...
As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Toby finally woke up from catching up on sleep he hadn't had in the past few days.
After waking up, he first looked at the sky and estimated that it would be completely dark in less than an hour. Then, he slowly pulled out a bag of compressed biscuits and a bag of water from his tactical vest and began to eat them slowly.
Once Death has eaten its fill, it will be time for its scythe to reap heads...
By the time Toby finished eating the cookie in his hand, the night had completely darkened.
Toby took his hood out of his tactical vest and put it on.
When the night vision function was turned on, the pitch-black night turned into a clear green in Toby's eyes.
Meanwhile, the Ten Commandments terrorists outside the cave below, thanks to the heat-sensing function of their hoods and eyes, became conspicuous red individuals amidst the green surroundings.
Wearing a pure black combat suit, concealing the scarlet suit inside, and even with a black hood, Toby blended seamlessly into the night!
Scarlet Suit (Tactical Limited Edition) Spider-Man, here he comes!
With the right time and place, the hunt begins!
Whoosh!
Toby's primary target was the sentry on the watchtower.
The sound of spider silk is much quieter than a gun silencer, and the sentry on the watchtower didn't even notice that the spider silk was stuck to the watchtower.
Toby, who swung along on the spider web, weighed a full three hundred pounds, but landed on the watchtower without making a sound.
The sentry on the watchtower didn't even realize when someone had come up behind him until Toby snapped the guard's neck from behind.
From his vantage point, Toby found it much easier to deal with the other terrorists patrolling outside the cave.
It's just a simple target shooting game where you silently hang terrorists in the dark using spider silk, like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll).
The old adage "FPS players never look up" also applies to Afghan terrorists, whose primary focus is on shooting based on faith.
Even after Toby hung all the terrorists outside the cave on the watchtower like teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls), not a single person noticed anything amiss.
With the terrorists guarding outside the cave dealt with, those inside posed even less of a threat to Toby.
Because the Ten Commandments gang had placed their large-caliber weapons and powerful ammunition outside the cave, and the people outside the cave were hanging there.
Toby estimated that the most powerful weapon the remaining terrorists in the cave might have left was their AK-47s.
And that is indeed the case.
As Toby leaped down from the watchtower adorned with teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) and crawled like a spider down the cave ceiling, he saw no one along the way carrying a weapon that posed a threat to him.
Toby didn't hold back either. As he went deeper into the cave, he either snapped the necks of the terrorists who were chatting, joking, eating, or shooting guns, or used spider silk to trap them on the wall before punching their heads off.
Soon, Toby quietly eliminated all of the more than one hundred members of the Ten Rings.
For Toby, an ordinary person in the dark is far too vulnerable; it's no more difficult than stepping on a mouse.
Even the bald leader, in the only decent office in the cave with a computer, was interrupted by Toby's intrusion while manually taking off to celebrate seeing the Jericho missile the next day, becoming a desperate captain...
After confirming that there was no one else alive in the entire cave except himself, and Tony and Ethan, who were imprisoned in the deepest part of the cave, Toby slowly walked toward the iron door that held his fifty million dollars.
