Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Tony swung the hammer intermittently, looking at the metal shell in front of him with a sad face, wondering what he should do in such a harsh environment to help the other party create a missile.

Deep down, he really didn't want to build this missile for the other party, but now the other party has used his stinky feet and fists to make our genius young man face the cold and cruel reality.

No one can order me to serve them, not even a bunch of crazy people with guns! Ethan handed over materials while Tony banged on the iron plate in front of him with a hammer, thinking about how to escape.

Ethan, who was handing out materials, seemed to see what Tony was thinking, and he spoke up.

"There are solid rocks all around us. We are now in a cave in the belly of the mountain. The only way in and out is through the iron door in front of us. It is almost impossible to get out."

Tony lowered his head, picked up the hammer in his hand, and knocked on the iron plate bit by bit. Without turning his head, he said: "No place can hold me. I am Tony Stark."

Ethan listened to this and said nothing more, but handed over the materials in his hand more diligently.

In a desert not far away, an armed helicopter descended from the sky, and a tactical team slid down from the helicopter via ropes. The members of these tactical teams had the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo printed on their shoulders and helmets.

Rumlow is the leader of this tactical team. He is also a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent team who defected to Hydra very early on.

This time they went out without permission from Lu Dan, but the strange thing was that there was no ripple in the entire SHIELD area. Lu Dan was completely unaware of this. The military, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. gave the green light, so they arrived here within two days.

Hydra is not a monolithic organization. They have several heads. The head of the secret base made a profit split with another head, Alexander Pierce, and gained command of the Rumlow Tactical Team.

This time, the mission of the tactical team led by Rumlow is to eliminate all members related to this matter and take away their target.

The tactical team, carrying various tactical equipment, led by Rumlow, climbed to a desert and looked at the robbers who were on patrol in the distance.

What a mob they were. All they had except a gun were a few rags hanging on their bodies.

Rumno looked at these robbers with eyes full of contempt. He had always been disdainful of such a mob. If their target this time was not a well-known technological genius, he would never have led the team personally.

After assigning the tasks, Rumno personally led half of the tactical team's special forces to advance from the front, while the other half slowly moved in along the mine from the rear.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The three robbers who were patrolling with AKs were walking around, alert to everything around them. Three gunshots were heard, covered by silencers, and the three robbers fell to the ground.

When several robbers around realized that something was wrong, they raised their guns and several more gunshots were heard, and several people were killed instantly.

Rumlow waved his hand, and several special forces immediately began to clear out the robbers on the periphery in an orderly manner under his leadership. Many robbers were killed immediately before they even pulled the trigger. They cleared out the stragglers on the periphery at a rapid speed.

In addition, the special forces who sneaked in along the edge of the mine wore thermal vision goggles in the pitch-black environment and took advantage of the darkness to eliminate the robbers one by one.

“Boom!”

With one final kick, they opened the leader's tattered iron door. Several special forces soldiers looked at the confused leader, raised their guns and shot without any expression. After shooting the leader into a sieve, they met up with Rumlow.

The operation lasted less than ten minutes in total. The entire place where the bandits gathered was completely wiped out. No one was left alive, and no one was discovered by the enemy. The enemies were all killed instantly without any reason. Under the leadership of Rumlow, they walked to a dilapidated iron gate deep in the mine. Through the window above the iron gate, they saw Tony working hard against an iron plate.

Boom! Rumlow, the leader, kicked the iron door, and it flew out instantly and fell heavily to the side.

Tony, who was just thinking about how to escape, was startled by the noise. Ethan, who was like a savage next to him, stood up instantly. Ethan put his left hand behind his back, holding a knife in his hand.

"Wow wow wow wow, you guys finally come to save me?!"

Tony was startled and quickly saw the SHIELD logo printed on the helmets of these strange soldiers in the dim light. He was no stranger to SHIELD.

"You finally came to save a genius like me. If the world lost a genius like me, I don't know what would happen. Your efficiency is really disappointing. I am a major taxpayer..."

Tony stood up from the ground in a flash, complaining that the other party was too slow. It was simply an insult for a great genius like him to have been abused here for several days.

But luckily these guys finally came to rescue him.

"This guy is my savior, what are you doing?!"

Although Tony always had a foul mouth, he remembered the doctor's life-saving grace. When he was about to scold him, he found a gun butt rushing straight towards his face.

Bang! Who are you? Aren't you from the National Strategic Bureau?

That was the last thought that flashed through Tony's mind before he passed out.

Rumlow raised the butt of his gun and smashed it hard on Tony's face. Looking at the unconscious Tony and his two teeth flying out, he just waved his hand and the two special forces soldiers behind him lifted up the unconscious Tony, one on the left and one on the right. Then they went out with the lifted Tony and the tied Ethan.

Hydra naturally has a psychological profile of people like Tony Stark. Based on the profile and analysis of Tony Stark's inner thoughts by internal psychologists, Hydra immediately came to a conclusion that although Tony looks cynical, independent and sharp-tongued, he is kind-hearted deep down in his heart and values ​​people who have done him favors.

If Tony hadn't said before he fell into coma that Ethan was his savior, this group of people might have shot to death the savage with a knife in his hand.

Rumlow took the unconscious Tony on a helicopter following Hydra's secret route to the Big Apple, and detained Tony in a basement waiting for follow-up personnel to arrive.

In the internal division of Hydra, each snakehead does not interfere with each other's affairs, so members who want to receive others must come to Alexander Pierce's place in the Big Apple to pick them up, and Pierce's subordinates will not rashly go to the territories of other snakeheads.

Hydra Hidden Base

After receiving the news, the adjutant immediately reported to the head of the base: "Chief, the target has been captured and is now being guarded in a street basement next to a university in the Big Apple."

Upon hearing this, the leader immediately said to his deputy, "Notify the people we have there immediately to quickly take Tony Stark into our hands. The equipment for brainwashing and implanting thoughts is ready. Even if he is a genius who crosses centuries, he can only be under our control."

Seeing the leader's high-spirited look, the adjutant also became excited and shouted with his hands raised high.

"Long live Hydra!"

Looking at the adjutant's enthusiasm, the leader patted his shoulder happily and spoke earnestly.

"The great Hydra will surely save the world again. Sooner or later, you will take my place."

After being encouraged by the leader, the adjutant's eyes immediately turned slightly red as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Seeing the adjutant's look, the leader became more satisfied and thought to himself, guys like this are so easy to fool.

The confidants of several leaders around felt very uncomfortable when they saw the adjutant and the leader being so affectionate with each other. The adjutant was just a small pawn under their command before, but now he is so valued. This made them feel a little bit of crisis.

After the adjutant finished reporting to the chief, he faced the envious and jealous looks of several colleagues around him, curled his lips slightly, put on an attitude of a small-time villain, and returned to his room from the corridor.

As soon as he returned to the room, the smug look on his face disappeared without a trace. He just picked up a transparent object that looked like a round mirror. After muttering to the round mirror for a while, the adjutant put the mirror back into his bedside table, making it look like an ordinary small mirror.

Big Apple City General Ross, who was planning to capture Hulk, was giving instructions on a tactical table. Several military adjutants were writing and drawing on the side. A young special forces soldier named Longinus was standing there waiting for General Ross's orders.

Now Dr. Banner has returned to the Big Apple to meet General Ross's daughter. They are now waiting in the suburbs of the city, and will directly close in once the target appears.

After the combat meeting was dismissed, an officer with a hooked nose, light blue eyes, a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a military green hat walked into his tent with a serious face.

The surrounding soldiers all stayed away from the adjutant when they saw him, because he was General Ross's most capable assistant, who was usually strict with himself and his requirements for military discipline were outrageous.

After the hook-nosed adjutant walked into his tent, he looked around to see that there was no one around. He immediately took out a small mirror from the multi-purpose bag next to his camp bed and put it to his ear. After a few seconds, he put the mirror back in its place.
