The Death Knell

"Smile, beauties, and relax." Tony sat in the Hummer, swaying left and right as the vehicle moved, but the drink in his hand did not spill at all: "In addition to being more handsome and richer, It’s no different than any other guy, if you’re going to sign autographs or have a great night together, you can start now.”

Tony Stark, the most famous playboy in the United States and the chairman of the multinational arms giant Stark Industries, was wearing a greasy smile at this time and was crowded in a Humvee in a convoy with several female soldiers.

"Mr. Stark, is this really okay?" The female soldier who was driving turned her head and licked her lips. She might be of furry bear or Nordic descent, nearly two meters tall, and her face was covered with muscles.

Tony smiled awkwardly and swallowed hard: "I'll give you money, all you have to do is drive."

The beautiful female soldiers sitting next to Tony laughed, and the narrow space was filled with a happy atmosphere. They began to pester Tony and ask questions, such as why he suddenly thought of coming to the rainforest of South America to express condolences to the soldiers stationed there. United Nations peacekeepers here.

It is said to be a United Nations peacekeeping force, but in fact this team is a United Nations force, led by the United States, and brought some young men here to fight with others. The goal is to foster a new pro-American regime. The past one was a bit disobedient.

But the other party also received mysterious assistance. It was a military organization specializing in guerrilla warfare in the tropical rainforest. They supported the original regime.

The CIA believes that it may be the old rival, the Bear. Even ten years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the new Bear is still tough after recovering. South America is the back garden of the United States, but the opponent has always wanted to insert nails here.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence, so politicians from the two countries can only quarrel with each other on TV news.

At a press conference, the President of the United States accused Russia of interfering in other countries' internal affairs. He took out a packet of laundry detergent and said there was evidence that Russian special forces were transporting biological and chemical weapons to South American countries and were "exporting color."

During an interview, the president of the other party, while smoothing the fur of his pet bear, calmly said that his American counterpart drank too much Coke and burned his brain. Does Russia have a rainforest troop? This is all American acting!

Not mentioning international politics, just talking about the Pentagon, the military found that its original plan had been thwarted, and there was probably more than 90 billion left in military spending this year, so it issued a temporary tender to the arms industry across the country. They needed a method that could kill the rat guerrillas. A super weapon that burns the entire rainforest to rubble.

But it cannot be nuclear bombs or poison gas. It must be clean, painless and humane.

Environmental groups and human rights organizations have become increasingly untouchable in recent years. No matter how awesome the military is, they don't want to be entangled with them.

Hanmo Industries, Osborne Group, Astra United, Wilson Enterprises, Pym Technologies, and well-known U.S. and NATO arms contractors have all joined the bidding.

But who is Tony? He would not stupidly attend any bidding meeting in Washington. He came here to directly find the person in charge of the front line of the military and use backdoor methods to get the other party to make designated purchases.

Other companies may have done the same, but those who dare to come here are just low-level salesmen. How can they compare to the president of Stark Industries?

What's more, he brought his own new work - the Jericho tactical missile, which contains a thousand split smart warheads. Once launched, dozens of square kilometers of forest will be reduced to scorched earth. It is most suitable for dealing with guerrillas. High temperatures The harmonious air waves can tear a person into pieces in an instant and then evaporate. It is absolutely painless.

Anyway, it is definitely much better than the new product of Hanhui Industry. The missile developed by his family the year before last was code-named "Shrew".

What about last year? Code name ‘Witch’.

The latest generation, that is, the missile model participating in this bidding this year is the ‘Ex-Wife’...

Just by hearing these names, Tony knew what the current marital status of his old rival Justin Hamilton was like.

His weapons have no technical content at all. They are more missiles than rockets or mortars. The advantage is that they are cheap.

But Stark Industries must always put quality and technology first. Tony doesn't even bother to produce cheap weapons, because the profit is too low.

Thanks to his good relationships with military chiefs, Tony spent a small amount of money to gain access to front-line command in South America, and also persuaded some senior officials to participate in weapons test-firing performances with him.

The performance has just finished, and now we are sitting in the air-conditioned Hummer, having a drink, hugging the female soldier, and the business is concluded. Isn't it wonderful?

Anyone who buys ten Jericho missiles will receive a box of 1982 Skywalker red wine. This is a multi-million kickback. He doesn't believe that the generals are not tempted.

By the way, the female soldiers are not bad, although they are not as good as the models and actors they usually play, but this kind of wild energy is something that city girls don’t have. These arms and legs will definitely feel great tonight, hahaha...

Just when Tony was feeling happy, the convoy he was returning to the camp was suddenly attacked by an IED. Roadside bombs were much more powerful than landmines. After all, the amount of explosives was there, and the Humvee Tony was riding in was like a dirt plane. It went straight to the sky.

The strong impact caused his vision to go dark, and his head hit the roof of the car. He almost passed out, but the shock of the plane's 'landing' made him wake up from the pain.

The female soldiers were all killed, and the car was full of mutilated limbs and blood. Tony hadn't seen this for several years. He nervously kicked open the overturned car door and crawled outside.

There are still many American soldiers resisting around, but the opponent is not an ordinary guerrilla at all, but more like a super elite. Silent shooters shoot bullets from the rain forest, and the soldiers fall one by one.

Tony took out his satellite phone and wanted to call the Pentagon for help. However, a grenade exploded not far from him. He was thrown away directly, and blood oozed from the suit on his chest.

His ears were ringing and his body had no strength left. Tony felt like he couldn't breathe. Maybe shrapnel had penetrated his heart and he was going to die.

Is this what it feels like to be killed by a bomb? The weapons are really scary...

In the haze, he only saw a pair of black high-heeled boots approaching, and a woman giving orders in Latin. Then he felt like he was hit on the back of the head, and then he didn't know anything else.

.....................

When he woke up again, he found that he was not dead, but was locked in a dark basement.

"It should be a prison, right?" Tony said to himself. He looked down at the big hole in his chest. The crude equipment there was connected to a car battery. Someone used a crude artificial pacemaker and a heart stent to save his life, but this The craftsmanship is also very poor: "What kind of rubbish did you do..."

After muttering a few words, he climbed up holding the battery and looked around his prison, but except for a toilet and a surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling, he didn't find anything that could help him determine his location.

Tony began to think, the other person saved him because he must be greedy for his knowledge and technology, right? What else could rebels kidnap weapons manufacturers for?

Then they must need to live by themselves...

You can use your own life and death as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms.

After thinking about it, he did the same. He chose an angle to face the camera, smoothed the hair on his chest, and then grabbed a handful of wires, pretending to pull them off.

"You'd better not do that." At this time, the prison door opened, and someone walked in with a lamp, followed by a group of masked soldiers with rifles: "I finally invited you here, how can I let you Where is death? Are you right? Dear, dear?"

Tony, who was performing a performance of pulling wires in front of the camera, froze. His eye sockets seemed to be unable to accommodate his eyes. The sound made him feel like he was struck by lightning. He slowly turned around and saw the woman he had seen in his dreams countless times. .

She was still so beautiful, her long black satin hair was just like before, and she had that smile that made Tony feel like his heart was going to stop.

"Kashan..."
