During these three months, Leo used these common metals to strengthen the steel bars by 34%.
As the degree of strengthening increases, the change in body weight can be felt very obviously. Although he is only 1.27 meters tall, he has gained weight to 40 kilograms.
He was also very sensitive and discovered that his gastrointestinal digestion speed had increased a bit. His stomach was like it had been upgraded from a small boiler to a smelting furnace. Any food was quickly converted into energy and disappeared.
Therefore, Leo eats a box of snacks almost every day to maintain his body's consumption.
I glanced at today's date and muttered, "It should be about time!"
...
Tony walked out of the cave wearing armor. A large group of people had already gathered outside, with more than a dozen rifles pointed at the cave entrance, ready to welcome his arrival.
A huge steel figure walked out, and before he could make any move, he was bombarded by hundreds of bullets. The impact of the hundreds of bullets made Tony unable to move for a while.
After a round of volleys, everyone stopped, but Tony, who was unharmed, raised his hands and turned on the flamethrower on his equipment.
"It's my turn!"
Two huge pillars of fire spurted out, and the attached fuel ignited everything, except the people who were howling madly, and the countless missiles made by Stark Industries placed around the cave entrance.
As the temperature rose and the flames burned, the surrounding hundreds of square meters quickly turned into a sea of fire, and all the people inside turned into charcoal. Only the enemies in the distance had room to resist.
Two hundred meters away, a heavy machine gun was set up and fired at Tony frantically. The huge impact of the bullets made his movements increasingly difficult.
At the same time, the exposed conveyor belt on the leg was damaged by the gunshot, and the right leg could not move.
The temperature around was getting higher and higher. Some ammunition and equipment had exploded one after another, causing more explosion reactions. Even the small missiles not far away became increasingly unstable.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tony activated the last escape equipment, and a jet and engine removed from a small rocket performed the final catapult flight.
Just as Tony flew out of the valley, a huge explosion occurred in the valley and all the ammunition was detonated.
The huge impact force pushed Tony again, pushing Mark I further away.
The Mark I, with its fuel exhausted, lost power in the air, fell freely, and crashed into the desert.
Half of Tony's body was stuck in the sand, and Mark I completed its mission and died gloriously.
Tony took off the mask on his head with great difficulty. There was blood at the corner of his mouth and his neck was covered with scratches. He looked helplessly at the sun in the sky that he had not seen for two months.
"Not bad!"
He struggled to get up, determined the direction, and left quickly.
Four hours later, Tony didn't know how long he had walked or run. The high temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius had made him dehydrated. If no one found him before nightfall, he might not survive to the next day.
Because of the way he landed, his right arm was also seriously injured and bleeding.
Exhausted, Tony kept thinking about what Ethan told him at the end, which became his motivation to keep running.
Tony ran for who knows how many kilometers, but his mind was constantly refreshed with his understanding of war and peace.
As we passed one sand dune after another, the sun gradually set.
After crossing another sand dune, Tony didn't react until two helicopters flew over his head.
"Hey!!"
Waving his left hand and shouting loudly.
It was a military helicopter, coming to find my plane.
Tony, who had been exhausted for a long time, felt his legs soften.
He knelt on the yellow sand, raised his left hand high with two fingers raised.
That was the pose he took when taking a photo in the jeep with the soldier who died protecting him.
At that time, I said, "Peace, I love peace. If there is peace, I will be out of work!"
At this moment, a wish wells from the bottom of my heart: "I love peace!"
Colonel Rhodes, who had been flying over the desert every day for the past three months, rushed forward and hugged Tony. "Next time, ride in the same car with me, okay?"
Tony fell into Rhodes' arms, smiling happily.
...
Pepper also got the news. She covered her mouth with her hands, choked with tears of excitement, and lay weakly on the desk and cried.
Who knew how much pressure she had been under working every day these days? Finally, Tony was coming back.
On May 4, 2008, a military transport plane flew over from a distance inside a U.S. military base.
Pepper and Happy were waiting here early.
The hatch slowly opened, and Pepper was already staring longingly at the figure sitting in the wheelchair above. Her already swollen eyes became red again.
Stark, whose right hand was injured, slowly walked down with the help of Rhodes.
Pepper smiled with a few tears in her eyes. She had never missed someone so much from the bottom of her heart.
Tony still had a few scars on his face, but there was only Pepper in his eyes.
"Your eyes are red. Are you sad about your missing boss?"
"I'm so happy. I don't have to look for a job anymore!"
"Yeah, the vacation is over!" Tony did not forget his original intention.
Happy opened the car door, and Tony Stark got into his car again.
"Where to, sir?"
"Take us to the hospital! Happy!"
"No," Tony said.
"No, Tony, you have to go to the hospital for a checkup!"
"I'm absolutely not going to the hospital. I'm not going to do anything!" Tony stared at Pepper.
"I've been locked up for three months and now I only want to do three things: eat cheeseburgers, and..."
Pepper averted her eyes, "You're always so horny!"
"It's not what you think. I want to hold a press conference!"
"Press conference? Why hold a press conference?" Pepper didn't understand at all and was just worried about Tony's health.
"And three, Pepper, help me find that kid in Asia, Happy has seen him! Okay, Happy, drive and go get a cheeseburger first."
The car started slowly, and Pepper still looked confused, "Child? Hogan, what child? Where's the child?"
...
Today is another comfortable weekend. Jenny is working overtime, Uncle George is busy with something, and even Peter was taken to the amusement park by Aunt May and will not come to see me.
'Leo, how did you know Tony Stark was back? I just heard that they were planning to hold a press conference at a certain venue!'
Leo's phone rang and a message like this appeared in it.
"Okay, send me the location and I promise to make a model for you first!"
Looking at the messages sent to him by his friends in the group, Leo put on his small backpack and went out.
I hailed a taxi and said, "Go to this place, hurry up, it's urgent!"
