Inside the cave.
Shh! Intense flames erupted from the flamethrower's nozzle, cutting through a rough steel plate.
Tony Stark, wearing goggles, gripped the flamethrower tightly with both hands.
He looked incredibly focused and serious.
The Iron Armor was his only hope of escaping, so Tony Stark naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"Stark, let me take over; you're exhausted."
Yisen, who was helping out on the side, observed Tony Stark for a moment and then stepped forward, intending to relieve him.
"No, you do something else. I have to do this myself."
Tony Stark flatly refused.
He knew every part of the Iron Armor inside and out, down to the smallest detail.
Only he could build it the fastest.
Anyone else would slow down the process.
Even Yisen.
They had been together for quite some time, and Yisen had come to understand Tony Stark a bit.
He knew that once the other man made up his mind, he wouldn't change it, so he didn't say anything more.
Just silently hoping in his heart that Playboy could succeed!
Anyway, he had already made up his mind.
Even if it meant sacrificing his own life, he would help Tony Stark escape.
Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!
The moment these thoughts flashed through his mind, a barrage of gunfire erupted outside.
This startled both Tony Stark and Yisen.
Without a word, they stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked towards the iron door.
What happened? Why was there such intense gunfire outside?
And even…
Not only gunfire, but also the sounds of various explosions.
That firefight was really intense!
"It's been a long time since I was brought here, and this is a first."
Yisen adjusted his glasses, a look of excitement on his face, and glanced at Playboy. "Could it be… someone finally came to rescue you?"
This was the only possibility Yisen could think of.
After all, Playboy's identity was extraordinary.
There must be countless people looking for him outside.
Although more than a month had passed, which was indeed a long time, what other possibilities were there?
Someone came to rescue me?
Tony Stark subconsciously shook his head.
The Diary had already made it very clear.
He, Tony, wasn't rescued. He built the Iron Armor and escaped himself!
So… The commotion outside shouldn't be someone coming to rescue him.
Or rather, someone did come to rescue him, but ultimately failed.
Regardless of the situation, Tony Stark couldn't possibly escape right now.
So, Tony Stark didn't hold out any hope.
Brrrrt! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just like that.
Under the astonished gazes of Tony Stark and Yisen, the gunfire outside grew increasingly intense.
Judging by the sounds, it was no less than two armies clashing.
Boom!
And finally.
It was as if an earthquake had arrived, and the entire world shook violently.
Including the cave where the two of them were.
The surrounding world underwent a drastic upheaval, almost like the earth was shaking.
Tony Stark and Yisen both stumbled, their bodies unsteady, nearly falling to the ground.
"What was that just now?"
Regaining their footing, the two of them looked at each other, both seeing the confusion and bewilderment on the other's face.
What kind of weapon could cause such an exaggerated commotion?
The key question was, they hadn't heard any explosions!
So~
That violent tremor of the world, wasn't it caused by a fierce explosion?
What kind of power could that be?
"It's quiet now."
"The gunfire outside has stopped."
Yisen, with his exceptional senses, immediately noticed this, his expression shifting.
"Right, it has stopped."
Tony Stark also realized this, and he felt that something was amiss.
The firefight had been so intense just moments ago, why had it suddenly ceased?
It didn't make sense.
Could it be…
That power that caused the earthquake?
Had that power instantly wiped out one side of the battle?
Both Tony Stark and Yisen were flooded with questions.
The two of them looked at each other, bewildered expressions plastered on their faces.
Neither knew what was happening outside.
But they both had a guess: whatever was going on out there was definitely no small matter.
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie in the absolute silence.
Clang!
Just then.
A crisp sound of metal on metal rang out.
Tony Stark and Yisen's hearts leaped with alarm.
They stood up straight in unison, their eyes instinctively fixed on the only large metal door.
Someone's coming!
I wonder what those guys want this time. Are they going to secretly move them?
Clang!
Another loud bang broke Tony Stark and Yisen's train of thought.
They both looked on.
A massive force acted on the large iron door, and the door flew out directly! It didn't fly into the cave, but out of it.
Duang!
A foot rose into the air, and stomped down on the iron door.
It was a strange guy wearing a mask, with thick, dark black hair.
And so, it entered the vision of Tony Stark and Yisen.
???
Who is this person?
Tony Stark and Yisen's gazes immediately fell upon the person.
The same question flashed through their minds simultaneously.
Who is it?
Undoubtedly, it was Zhou Cheng.
After Zhou Cheng eliminated all the terrorists outside, he advanced directly inside.
Found the place where Tony Stark was being held without a hitch.
What next?
Just casually used Banshō Ten'in to rip the big metal door off. Easy peasy.
"No need to be nervous."
Seeing Tony Stark and Yisen looking at him with suspicion and wariness, Zhou Cheng spoke slowly, "You're safe now, you can go."
Tony Stark and Yisen exchanged glances and cautiously began to approach the door.
They also cautiously peeked their heads out.
Sure enough.
The corridor outside was completely empty, not a soul in sight.
Whew!
Both of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone had broken in, and the Ten Rings wouldn't just sit idly by.
Therefore, what this person said was very likely true.
They might actually be saved!
There's a lot going on today, so this is the only chapter for now.
