Chapter 71 - Chapter 11: Escape

On the dusty Gobi Desert, a convoy of vehicles whizzed by, stirring up yellow sand. "Boss, are we still going to catch those Kashmiris today?"

The person who spoke was a small leader of the Ten Rings Gang, and sitting next to him was a bald Central Asian.

The head of the Ten Rings Gang in Afghanistan is named Hussanno.

"Yes, Kashmiris are not our compatriots. I don't like those ridiculous freedom fighters. The leaders always persecute their own ethnic group." The bald man Hussanno has a distinct Central Asian appearance.

Brown skin, hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and a pair of brown eyes. When he smiles, he always looks sinister.

It looks like a vulture.

He is one of the leaders responsible for the kidnapping of Tony Stark. The other leader is a local Afghan terrorist, the leader of the freedom fighters, Gildinov with a big beard.

The Ten Rings Gang is not a native gang, but rather an outsider.

They have only been established in Central Asia for about ten years, although they have a more powerful backing in the East.

But Hussanno didn't want to ask the Eastern Headquarters for help unless it was necessary. The man in China was very busy, and if he had to help with everything, then there would be no value for him to exist in Afghanistan.

Therefore, cooperating with local gangs and terrorists is the wisest choice, which can be mutually beneficial.

For example, the plan to kidnap Tony was done by two gangs working together. The money offered by the employer was quite generous, but of course the risk was also great.

After all, Tony was kidnapped right under the nose of a US military convoy, but for the huge sum of money, there was also the arms support from Stark Industries.

It is acceptable for the two gangs to take some risks for this.

And this time there is new business coming from the United States, there are Americans who want more living refugees.

Hussanno didn't want to know what would happen to these living people after they were sent to the United States. This was not something a terrorist should care about.

He just needs to capture these people and exchange them for more US dollars. Only in this way can he please the Chinese gentleman.

And Hussanno also captured Tony Stark. As long as Tony can make more weapons, I believe the Chinese adults will be even happier.

He was going to give his leader a surprise then.

Hussanno comes from the western part of China, and his family once had conflicts with the Kashmiris who border China's western region.

This kind of thing is very common on the border. More than 20 people from Hussanno's family died at the hands of Kashmiris.

So Hussanno had no mercy on capturing Kashmiris and selling them as goods to the Americans.

As he said, he would not take action against his fellow countrymen.

On the other side, the leader of the freedom fighters, Gildinov , did not think so much. He just went wherever it was easier to take action.

He is leading his men to capture those unarmed and poor civilians in Afghanistan.

The Americans only wanted women and children because vampires didn't like biting smelly men's necks.

So whenever Gildinov arrived at a village, he would slaughter all the young and middle-aged men and take away only the women and children.

This led Gildinov to commit one horrific massacre after another in Afghanistan.

Tony and Ethan, who were in the cave, had no idea about this because the debugging of MK1 had reached the final critical step.

"Ethan, come and help me cover the armor at the back ." Tony was wearing the MK1 Iron Man armor.

However, due to the lack of sufficient equipment, MK1 basically has no smart devices. In most cases, you have to manually put on the device.

"Okay, Tony. Do you think we can do it?" Ethan asked as he put on the back armor of the MK1 and connected several pipes inside the armor under Tony's guidance.

"Don't forget, I'm Tony Stark, the world's top genius." Even though he was trapped in a cage, Tony was still full of confidence.

The terrorist base seemed very quiet today because the leaders of both gangs took a large number of people out to capture civilians.

There are only a few terrorists left in the base to guard it.

Tony and Ethan had done sufficient preparations, and no terrorists noticed anything unusual about them.

Tony put on the MK1 armor smoothly, and then said to Ethan, "Doc, stand behind me for a while, and remember not to run around."

"This armor is made of titanium alloy. Although it is not as strong as gold-titanium alloy, it should be enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary assault rifles." Tony reminded.

"I'll provide covering fire after we get out. Remember those pickup trucks we saw when we went out before? Find a way to start one, and then I'll cover you, and we can escape together!"

Tony developed a simple tactic. Dr. Ethan was a scholar and had no combat experience, but he nodded firmly, indicating that he could do it.

The cave where Tony and the other man were imprisoned was blocked by an iron gate. The originally sturdy iron gate was like paper in the face of the powerful power of MK1.

The miniature Ark reactor provided reliable power for Tony's armor. It only took three kicks for Tony, who was wearing MK1, to kick the heavy iron door open.

The destruction of the iron gate finally alerted the other terrorists in the base. Three of them came to check with rifles.

The three terrorists had just appeared at the entrance of the cave when they were knocked away by MK1's sturdy steel arms.

Relying on his invulnerable armor, Tony had no trouble getting to the exit of the cave.

Someone in the base set up a Browning M2 heavy machine gun and started shooting at Tony.

The power of the Browning M2 heavy machine gun is very considerable. If it is equipped with tungsten core bullets, it can penetrate most armored vehicles in the world.

Fortunately, terrorists don't have such high-end things as tungsten core bullets.

However, even the commonly used 12.7MM caliber bullets still made it difficult for Tony to move forward.

"Damn it!" Tony cursed inwardly, forced himself to steady his retreat, and manually launched the missile loaded on his forearm.

The crossbow-type individual-soldier missile is produced by Stark Industries. It is easy to operate and extremely powerful.

The missile drew a perfect arc and directly hit the heavy machine gun position. Amid the deafening explosion, the entire machine gun position was reduced to ruins.

"Tony, get in the car!" Dr. Ethan found a pickup truck and used his knowledge of circuits to start the ignition without a key. He was now beckoning Tony to get in the car and get ready to leave.

Tony stepped straight into the truck. The heavy MK1 caused the pickup to pause for a moment, but it was not overloaded.

MK1's arms continuously sprayed bullets, and the fierce flames prevented the terrorists from showing their heads at all.

Because all the men have been taken away by the two bosses, the base is currently seriously understaffed and is unable to suppress Tony with firepower.

When the pickup truck drove out of the base, Tony fired another crossbow missile at the ammunition piled in the base.

Since Stark Industries' weapons have caused so much carnage, let me put an end to it!

Tony had a determined look on his face.

The missile hit the target with a violent explosion, which directly led to the detonation of all the ammunition.

The violent explosion with its terrifying high temperature engulfed everything inside the terrorist base.

This explosion was also a farewell performance to the past Tony Stark, and the new Tony Stark was reborn at this time.

"Ethan, stop the car for a moment." Tony said while sitting in the dump box of the pickup wearing MK1. At this time, Tony and the others were already far away from the base.

"What's wrong, Tony?" Ethan stopped the car and walked into the dump box of the pickup truck and asked worriedly. He was afraid that Tony was injured in the fight just now.

"No~ Don't look at me like that, Ethan. I'm fine." Tony said. "Just help me take this thing off."

Tony jumped off the truck wearing MK1 and asked Ethan to help him take off the armor.

It took them a long time to take off all the armor. "What are you going to do, Tony?" Ethan asked when he saw Tony fiddling with the armor.

"Destroy it! No one else can find it. Not even the US military. This is a weapon of mass destruction, and we can't let people with bad intentions get it. I left a self-destruct device when I made it." Tony is setting the self-destruct program of MK1.

"Tony, I think you are even more admirable now, as a person, not just as a scientific genius." Ethan said with a smile.

"Ha~ Didn't I look like a human being before?" Tony said with a raised eyebrow. "Okay, Doc, let's get out of here. This big guy will explode in ninety seconds. I don't want to stay here."

Tony and his friend got in the pickup truck and left quickly.

Ninety seconds later, the self-destruction program of MK1 was successfully activated. A violent explosion and intense heat directly turned MK1 into a pool of worthless molten iron, leaving nothing useful.
