Outside the door, the thin Dr. Ethan had picked up the gun left on the ground by the terrorists and started a gunfight with the enemy. At this time, the loading progress of the control system was just over 50%.
Without the coordination of the control system, Tony could only be trapped in the heavy steel armor, unable to move. Anxious, he could only stare at the progress bar on the screen, praying that Ethan would be safe and sound during the siege of the Ten Rings Gang.
Ethan, who rushed out of the room with a rifle, was not as miserable and helpless as Tony had imagined. Ethan, who had originally made up his mind to let Tony escape even at the cost of his own life, was very surprised at his current state.
When facing the enemy, his body seemed to no longer belong to him, and he performed various difficult maneuvers to dodge the enemy's bullets. Even if a few stray bullets hit him occasionally, they could not penetrate the protection of his suit.
The rifle in his hand seemed to be on, and after automatically aiming, he felt an electric current on his index finger. With a bang, the enemy in front of him was killed by a bullet right in the middle of his eyebrows.
"Stark! Your son is such a genius, a greater genius than you. I'm going to become a god today!" Ethan didn't care whether Tony behind him could hear what he said, but he couldn't help himself. After shouting to vent his anger, he continued on his way to becoming a god.
In fact, this is exactly the result of the Kung Fu master chip that Mark had loaded into the suit before. You should know that the data Mark entered into the chip includes not only the melee data of martial arts masters from various countries, but also the king of special forces soldiers. Coupled with the auxiliary system added by Mark, it is not surprising that Ethan can hit the target every time.
When Ethan eliminated the first group of terrorists who arrived, Tony, who had loaded the control system, came behind him fully armed.
Looking at the enemy corpses lying on the ground, Tony's surprised expression got out of control. "Ethan, you didn't tell me that besides being a scholar, you are also a sharpshooter."
"No, no, no! Tony, this is an amazing invention your son made. I feel like I've been reborn today."
"This suit is so awesome!" Tony now felt more and more regretful that he didn't wear the suit tightly. "But you're wrong about one thing. It's not that we really want to be reborn, but that we are about to be reborn!"
Tony controlled the somewhat cumbersome Mark I, protecting Ethan as they slaughtered their way through the base. Leveraging the armor's powerful firepower and Ethan's mobility, the two of them defeated everyone in their path. After successfully exiting the cave, they detonated the Ten Rings' weapons cache, reducing the base to utter ruins.
"Ah~~~~~" The two people who finally escaped were not in a very good mood now, because the propulsion system of Mark I had stopped working, and they were now in the air dozens of meters high.
Bang!
Tony and Mark I fell heavily into the sand pile on the ground. The strong impact caused the heavy armor to fall apart and turned into a pile of accessories.
On the other side, Ethan had stood up safely. I have to praise Mark for his thoughtful consideration when designing this suit. When Ethan was about to fall to the ground and bear the impact, the suit suddenly expanded like an airbag in a car, wrapping Ethan into a sphere, which saved him from danger.
"Hahahaha, I'm reborn, Ethan is reborn today! Wuuuuuu——" Ethan, who regained his freedom, collapsed and knelt weakly on the sand, bursting into tears.
"Uh... not bad. What's wrong with you, Ethan? Why are you crying?" Tony, who had finally crawled out of the sand, looked at Ethan who was crying loudly and was very puzzled.
"Wow, wow, wow, I rushed out just now to buy you some time, and I was planning to sacrifice myself. My entire family died at their hands, and I think it's a worthy death to go down and accompany them.
But in the end I survived, I regained my freedom, I regained my new life, and I felt the beauty of life again. Promise me, Tony, you must not waste your life and squander your time. "
"I promise you, Ethan. This is the promise that the reborn Tony Stark made to you today."
…
At the New York State Air Force Base, the military transport plane carrying Tony back from Afghanistan landed safely on the airport runway.
Ethan did not come with them. He lived in his hometown of Gumi'la, hoping to make his own contribution to its peace. Tony did not stop Ethan from realizing his ideals and values. Before leaving, he gave Ethan the suit that Mark gave him, hoping that with its help, Ethan could get closer to his goal step by step.
With the help of Colonel Rhodes, Tony walked out of the cabin. Sharp-eyed Tony had already spotted Mark, Pepper, and Happy standing on the tarmac waiting for him not far away.
"Your eyes are red. Are you crying for your long-missing boss?"
"These are tears of joy. I hate job hunting," Pepper said stubbornly.
"Okay, vacation's over."
"Dad, you're such a loser! You're wearing the protective gear I gave you and you still made yourself look like this! Little Pepper can't eat or sleep because of you every day."
"What about you, brat, but you're not worried about me?"
"I'm not worried about you. I'm used to you not being around anymore anyway."
"Don't worry, no one can separate us father and son anymore." After Tony said this, he wanted to use his uninjured left hand to hold Mark in his arms and give him a fatherly hug.
Unexpectedly, Mark stepped back and dodged it. "Eh, that's disgusting, Dad. Have you been brainwashed by terrorists, or tortured to death, to do something so unlike you."
Tony: "#!"
