The Diary had already provided some spoilers about how Tony Stark would escape.
Even though there weren't many details, all the key points were there.
It could serve as Tony Stark's escape guide.
"Swing the big hammer."
This simple action description accurately summarized all of Tony Stark's next steps.
He would build the Iron Man Armor in this cave, hammer blow by hammer blow!
Furthermore, Tony Stark had already mastered the most crucial Arc Reactor. The playboy just needed to design the armor in this cave.
This wasn't difficult for Tony Stark.
The only problem was:
Where did the raw materials come from?
Whether it was building an Arc Reactor or crafting Iron Man Armor, he needed raw materials.
But, based on Tony Stark's observation just now,
the cave contained nothing but some simple household items like pots and pans, and bare rock.
Absolutely nothing!
He couldn't possibly use those rocks to build the Iron Man Armor, could he?
So...
How did his other self in that other world solve the raw materials problem?
Damn it, why isn't this in the Diary?
While pondering these questions, an intense feeling of thirst washed over him.
Tony Stark instinctively reached for the water bottle on the cabinet beside him, intending to alleviate this physical need.
Crack!
But a force suddenly acted upon his chest.
Tony Stark couldn't help but look down, and he saw that his chest was wrapped in white cloth, with two wires inserted into it.
The other end of the wires was connected to a car battery on the cabinet.
Tony Stark then remembered, that's right, he had been hit by a missile!
It seemed like even his bulletproof vest had been penetrated, and he should be seriously injured.
Just what the hell are these two wires?
What's actually going on with my chest?
Tony Stark struggled to tear away the bandages.
He saw a huge, circular device embedded in his chest.
What the…
He really did have a huge hole in his chest!
The Diary was right!
With the events recorded in the Diary being verified one after another, Tony Stark now had basically no doubts about it.
But, who is this guy?
Tony Stark looked at the other man, who was leisurely shaving, and fell into thought.
The Diary never mentioned that he would be locked up with an old man.
Wait, wait a minute!
Tony Stark's eyes caught sight of something familiar out of the corner of his eye. It immediately caught his attention.
It made Tony Stark freeze.
A Diary!
What the hell.
The Diary appeared again, just sitting there, so innocently, on the cabinet next to him.
Tony Stark instinctively felt a sense of relief.
Given his status, the uproar that would be caused by his kidnapping was something he could guess with his eyes closed.
Not to mention...
That Diary's owner, Zhou Cheng, was also, you know, hoping he'd get kidnapped every single day.
So, the other side should probably know about his kidnapping immediately.
And with Zhou Cheng's personality, he would definitely judge this heavily.
At that time, he might even reveal some related things!
Even though Zhou Cheng showed a lot of disrespect to Tony Stark, even often starting to mock him,
which made Tony very unhappy.
But at this important moment, yes, Tony still hoped the Diary would update again.
Even if Zhou Cheng mocked him again, he could accept it!
"Tony Stark was attacked by unknown armed forces on his way back from Afghanistan, and the accompanying military personnel suffered heavy casualties."
"Tony Stark himself is missing. The military has conducted a thorough search and rescue operation in the area, but has found nothing."
"The military isn't releasing any more information."
Tony Stark was right.
His ordeal in Afghanistan had detonated like a nuclear bomb in the media.
Every major news outlet, every media platform, the internet, television – it was everywhere.
All the reports were about the shocking kidnapping.
It couldn't be helped; the news was just too explosive.
"What? Stark got kidnapped?"
"Are you kidding me? Who would dare kidnap that guy!"
"Who dares to be so audacious?"
"Yeah, they've got a death wish!"
This kind of shocking discussion echoed throughout New York, and even across America.
Everyone who heard the news was deeply shaken; no one could remain calm.
It was Tony Stark, after all! In America, some people might not know their state governor, or even the president.
But absolutely no one didn't know Tony Stark.
To put it bluntly, in terms of influence among the public, even the president couldn't compare to Tony Stark.
Those high-ranking senators, governors, and other officials, even the big shots in the military…
Even those who were usually arrogant were polite to Tony Stark, maintaining a considerable degree of decorum.
Tony Stark's brain, comparable to Einstein's, made him the absolute core of the military-industrial complex represented by Stark Industries!
Someone dared to touch such a formidable figure?
It was like provoking the emperor himself.
"Stark has really been kidnapped!"
"The Diary said it, it's true!"
Compared to the others' simple shock, Black Widow's shock was more complex.
It came partly from the fact that Tony Stark had been kidnapped, and partly from the Diary's accurate prediction.
The Diary had mentioned Tony Stark's kidnapping multiple times.
At first, Black Widow didn't take it seriously.
She even thought the person behind it all was trying to convey some other information to her.
What specific information, Black Widow couldn't figure out.
But when she found out the Diary was actually an 084, Black Widow began to trust this information a bit more.
She started paying attention to Tony Stark in secret.
And now.
The facts had proven that the Diary's records were true!
Then the question arose.
Since Tony Stark's kidnapping really happened, what about everything else?
The Red Room is actually still around?
Hydra is also still around?
And of course, more importantly…
Will the dangerous and chaotic superhero era described in the Diary really arrive?
Even a well-trained agent like Black Widow couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
