Chapter 1848 The Madman's Journey (Fifty-Two)

The rainy season in the desert has finally arrived. A rainstorm has broken all the vegetation at the entrance of the cave. A light mist of water vapor rises from below the entrance, giving the ordinary scenery outside the cave a slightly ethereal artistic conception.

But the people in the cave have no intention of watching. Stark is working next to the lathe. At this time, this small cave is full of various industrial equipment.

Three locals came in carrying a new machine. Stark frowned and looked at the mud brought in by their rain boots with some dissatisfaction.

Schiller, who was originally following behind them, took two steps forward and put away his umbrella. He said a few words in the local language to the locals. The strong big guys went outside to find a leaf to wipe their shoes.

They grumbled some discontented words, but still carried the equipment to the designated place. Stark brought a large box, handed it to the leader and said: "This is the missile guidance route interference device. You can bury it near the base of your important materials. There is a certain possibility that the missile will deviate." Schiller translated Stark's words. The locals spoke a few words quickly. Schiller looked at Stark and asked: "Does this thing have radiation?" "Everything has radiation." Stark raised his feet and walked back. He seemed to be accustomed to explaining such simple questions. He said: "If they understand nuclear radiation, I can guarantee that there is no." "They want to put this thing in the village because their wives and children are there, and they don't want to be bombed. , so they want to know if this kind of thing will have any effect on pregnant women. "

Stark paused, but he still said: "If you are really worried, I can make a protective shield for you, and you can put this thing inside the protective shield and it will be fine."

After the locals took the things away, Schiller asked: "Is the protective shield really useful?"

"It's useless, it's just an ordinary iron shell, and it may affect the signal." Stark adjusted the angle of the hammer and said: "You see, psychologists are not useless. Now I know some common sense of psychology."

Schiller's eyes passed Stark and fell on the half robot buried in a pile of parts and metal sheets in the shadow of the cave. That was the result of Stark's work this week.

"Pepper must be looking for me like crazy." Stark stared at the thing in his hand and said, "She must be worried to death."

"And you are not staying here for no reason, you just want to prove to her and everyone else that you no longer need to be saved by others, but to save others."

Stark squeezed the hammer handle with a little more force. He looked up and saw Schiller standing in front of the rain and fog at the entrance of the cave. His outline was blurred and softened. He sighed and said, "I never thought that the person who understands me best in the world is a psychiatrist."

"But you should have thought of it earlier. You are the kind of person who stubbornly believes that all psychiatrists can read minds. People, right? "

Stark laughed deeply, shook his head gently and said: "And your performance confirmed my thoughts. I thought you wouldn't..."

"Won't what? You won't see that you seem to have suddenly changed, you won't think that you give up the safety that is within your reach and choose to take risks, or you won't understand that you are willing to give everything to save the world?"

When Stark was distracted, Schiller had walked to the opposite side of the experimental table. The bonfire was not lit, and the cave was very dark. There was only a faint light at the entrance. Therefore, when facing the light, Schiller almost became a completely black silhouette. Stark couldn't see any expression on his face, but he could imagine it.

Stark turned his head away and said, "A normal person would be all of the above, but fortunately you are also a lunatic."

"I can fully understand how shocking what you do is in the normal social standards, but I understand even more that you don't like social standards."

"So you're going to say something I like to hear?"

"So that you can sign the bill happily."

Stark smiled happily, hammered the metal parts in his hand, adjusted the position and said, "Listen, I will never send the bill to Afghanistan."

"Then this is a free clinic."

"Come on, you just said I'm not someone who needs to be saved." Stark complained, "You think you are doing community service ? "

"What if I have the same reason as you to stay here?"

Stark was stunned for a moment, he looked up at Schiller, after careful consideration, he said cautiously: "I thought you didn't want to leave here and didn't want to go back to the United States."

"I really don't want to go back to the United States."

Stark put down the hammer, rubbed his sore shoulders with his hands, sniffed and said: "You have a good relationship with the locals."

"Because I am a doctor, and the people here need doctors."

"So you stayed here for the patients here?"

Schiller turned around and leaned against the cave wall next to the laboratory table. Stark could only see his ups and downs in profile and the sharp eyelashes that were like arrows on a full moon bowstring.

Schiller stood there in silence, and Stark was silent too, but after about a few dozen seconds, he still spoke: "You want to help the Afghans take back their land and help them drive out the invaders, not because you are really kind, but because you hate America."

"I don't hate any country."

"Okay, then let me put it another way. Most of the people you hate have American citizenship."

"If you go on, most of them will include you."

Schiller walked towards the cave without looking back. Stark looked at his back in silence until Schiller opened his umbrella and walked out of the cave. Stark shouted behind him: "You are not really a mind reader, otherwise you would know what I am thinking!"

Stark opened his mouth again, but did not call Schiller's name. He exhaled, as if he was a little angry, and knocked the parts in his hand while saying: "Don't psychologists often say something like 'communication is always beneficial'? This quack..."

Suddenly, the grass at the entrance of the cave moved, and Stark raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking that Schiller had changed his mind and was ready to come back and quarrel with him.

But the person who appeared at the entrance of the cave turned out to be Eric. When he first walked into the cave, he was also shocked by the situation in the cave. After all, the whole cave is now densely packed with various equipment, which looks like a small factory.

"Tony, what are you doing here?" Eric looked around and said, "What are these parts used for?"

"Eric, why are you back again? It's dangerous here." Stark walked out from behind the laboratory table, looked at Eric and said, "You have to leave here quickly, they will be back soon."

"Are they referring to the doctor?" Eric looked at Stark and said, "Did he convince you to stay?"

"Do you know Schiller?"

"I just heard his name from the locals." Eric walked up and pressed half of Stark's shoulder and said, "Tony, you may have been deceived by him. He is in the same group with the locals."

"I know." Stark nodded and said.

Eric's eyes widened and he repeated, "You know? Why are you still with him?"

"He saved me."

"He did it for..."

"Whatever his reason was, he did save me, just like you."

Eric paused suddenly, feeling a little guilty. He was not sure if Stark was hinting at something, so he changed the subject and said, "Tony, seriously, you have to leave with me this time. I just got a message from my fellow mercenaries that the government forces are planning a new round of offensive operations against terrorist bases."

"This This is not just a small fight of dropping a few missiles. I heard that the US military is putting pressure on the government forces and asking them to start a full-scale war immediately. The situation will be very dangerous at that time. "

Eric stared at Stark's eyes and said: "To put it simply, there may be a large-scale war here. Ordinary people without training can't survive at all. If you don't leave, you will die."

Eric took another step forward and said: "The government forces have secretly blocked several material supply routes to the outside world. Trucks will not be able to leave in about three days. The mercenary corps I am in is organizing the last evacuation. "

"Only If you want me to take you out of there, we can catch the last flight. Then we can fly back to Wakanda or take the Stark Group's special plane back to the United States. "

Stark frowned deeply, he looked at Eric and asked: "Why did the US military suddenly put pressure on the government forces?"

Eric tilted his head, then turned back to look at Stark and said: "You know, because of your disappearance."

He pursed his lips and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Now your death has been basically confirmed in the United States. The situation in the Stark Group is very chaotic. You need to go back to take charge. "What is more big" "What is more, if the news of your surviving is returned to China, then there may be no need to fight in this battle, and many people will be spared because of this." Stark frowned and pursed his lips, showing a slightly hesitant look, and Eric's keenly aware of this emotion, he further said, " The culprit of coming to this. "" What's more, they may just want to use your death to trigger a large -scale war. "" What is the benefit of them? "Stark narrowed his eyes and said," Isn't it that the Stark Group wants to kill me to control the company? "

"You may think they are a thing of the past, but when I sneaked into the village yesterday, I heard the man called Dr. Schiller say 'Long live Hydra' to the other end of the phone outside the house."

"Schiller is Hydra?!"

"Boom!"

The violent tremor made the whole mountain shake, and the familiar sound of a low-flying bomber came from outside the cave. Eric rushed to the cave entrance and looked up. He gritted his teeth and cursed, and then said: "The bombing is ahead of schedule, go! Tony!"

Stark also came to the cave, but he pulled Eric and said: "The cave is a natural shelter to avoid bombing. Going out at this time is to seek death."

Suddenly, the walkie-talkie on Eric's waist rang. After he pressed the button, an anxious shout came from the other side: "Everyone return to the team! Everyone return to the team! They are making a surprise attack. These bastards are going back on their words. They want to silence us. Hurry... uh!"

Eric's face changed. He immediately realized what happened. His mercenary organization was attacked.

Eric turned his head and looked at Tony again, his hand already on the stun gun, but when he thought about the difficulty of winning if he brought a living person back for support, he had to stamp his feet, jumped out of the cave, and shouted inside.

"Tony, wait for me to come back! I will definitely rescue you!"
