Chapter 66: Tony’s Friendship

Inside the cave base, the mercenary leader looked down at the three people in the surveillance video, and the expression on his face became somber.

Ever since Stark and the other two people started making the Jericho Missile three days ago, they had been watching their progress.

However, as time went on, they discovered that these three people did not seem to be making a Jericho Missile, but rather seemed to be making some other weapon!

But the leader did not go directly to find Stark and Wei Ziqing to ask for clarification; instead, he continued to stare at the surveillance video.

He wanted to know exactly what they were doing!

…

Inside the cave, Wei Ziqing looked up slightly at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall. He knew that everything here had already been seen by them.

But as he looked at the pile of scattered parts in front of them, a hint of a smile appeared in Wei Ziqing’s eyes.

Three days.

Since the plan for the Iron Man Armor was mentioned by him three days ago, the three of them had begun building it impatiently.

Over these three days, even though Wei Ziqing knew that Tony was a genius, he was still shocked.

An Iron Man Armor that others could not possibly create in a lifetime was actually being made right here. Although it was the Mark I, it was still absolutely terrifying.

During this time, Tony even used palladium to make an Arc Reactor for himself to replace the original car battery.

“This is perhaps the difference between a genius and an ordinary person!” Wei Ziqing sighed in his heart.

Now, looking at the pile of Mark I parts in front of them, the three of them knew clearly that only the assembly was left.

However, at this moment, the three of them fell silent.

Because they knew that when they began to assemble it, it would also be the time they started their rebellion. The terrorists on the other end of the surveillance would definitely come out to eliminate them!

“Let’s start!” Taking a deep breath, Wei Ziqing said solemnly. What awaited them next was a bloody battle, and even Wei Ziqing felt somewhat nervous.

Although he was a powerful expert of the Innate Realm and had the strength to release Sword Qi, how could he not be afraid when facing the attack of firearms for the first time?

He gripped the Gentleman Sword tightly in his hand, and his expression became solemn.

“Okay!”

The three of them had already planned their strategy. Tony would wear the Mark I to clear the way in front, frantically destroying the enemy’s combat strength and blowing up their weapons and ammunition.

After knowing that Wei Ziqing knew martial arts, they decided to let Wei Ziqing help harvest the lives of the mercenaries on the side and protect the safety of the helpless Yinsen!

Immediately, the three began to assemble the Mark I. Just as they were fitting the Mark I onto Tony and waiting for it to activate, the mercenary leader’s face in the monitoring room suddenly changed drastically.

Although he did not know what Stark was wearing, he had a bad feeling. He immediately gave the order for his men to go and capture the three of them at once.

The entire base suddenly became chaotic. Wei Ziqing and the other two inside the cave also heard this commotion. They knew that this group of people had finally discovered their plan!

However, at that moment, the expressions of the three people present changed suddenly.

They had miscalculated the activation time of the Mark I. By the time the Mark I activated, the mercenaries would definitely have rushed into the cave and shot them dead on the spot!

“What should we do? There isn’t enough time now. The Mark I needs at least three minutes to activate, but it won’t take them even one minute to rush here!”

Tony looked frustrated. In his estimation, the Mark I System would take at most one minute, but he had forgotten that this was not the J.A.R.V.I.S. core system, but just an ordinary circuit board core!

Wei Ziqing’s expression also changed, and he felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

He had originally thought that because of his appearance, and because the plan was several days ahead of the original story, this problem would not occur. He did not expect that they would still make such a low-level mistake!

Yinsen took a deep breath. He knew his own position very well. Among the three people present, whether it was Tony or Wei Ziqing, both played very important roles and absolutely could not die here!

As for himself…

He was just a burden. Now…

Looking at the scene, he decided in his heart to go and stall for time. But before he could speak, Wei Ziqing stepped forward first: “In that case, I will go stall for time!”

“Wei Ziqing, you…” Hearing this, Tony and Yinsen looked at him in disbelief. Yinsen, in particular, wanted to stop Wei Ziqing anxiously and wanted to go himself, but he was interrupted by Wei Ziqing.

“I have martial arts. Two or three minutes is not a problem. But for you, it would be difficult. In that case, my going is the best choice!”

This was definitely not a decision Wei Ziqing made without careful thought. In the original story, Yinsen went; although he blocked them, he died.

Having interacted for some time, Wei Ziqing had a great fondness for Yinsen. He was unwilling to let Yinsen sacrifice himself at this moment.

As for himself, he was a Xiantian Expert. Although he was not invincible, he was confident that he could retreat safely while stalling for time.

“This…” Hearing this, Yinsen still wanted to say something, but Wei Ziqing had already taken the Gentleman Sword and headed toward the door.

Tony looked at Wei Ziqing with a complex expression. Over the past few days, he felt absolute gratitude toward Wei Ziqing.

First, he had saved his life and found a way to help him escape. Now, for the sake of their lives, he chose to go alone to buy them time.

Tony had very few friends. Because of his proud, arrogant, and haughty personality, most people kept their distance from him, and he didn’t feel he needed friends, so he never cared!

But at this moment, he suddenly understood that he had a friend!

Seeing that Wei Ziqing was about to leave the cave, he finally couldn’t help but speak: “Hold out for two minutes, and don’t die!”

Perhaps because he was not used to expressing his emotions, Tony spoke again: “Even if you are to die, you must wait until I return the favor!”

Hearing this, Wei Ziqing’s footsteps paused slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, without looking back, he walked straight out of the cave, responding to Tony with a calm voice.

“Don’t worry. Before you return the favor, no one can take my life, and besides, I don’t want to die!”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Tony’s face. He believed that Wei Ziqing would not die so easily!

Since that was the case, he should also hurry. He looked at Yinsen, and just as he was about to speak, Yinsen had already come before him and began checking the Mark I.

At this moment, neither of them spoke. Both were trying to activate the Mark I as quickly as possible. At the same time, outside the cave, bursts of gunfire suddenly rang out!

Their hearts tightened instantly. They knew that Wei Ziqing had encountered the mercenaries!
