14 14: Tony's Enlightenment

Here is the revised text with the requested changes:

The next morning.

On the other side of the world. 

Somewhere in the desert region of the Middle East.

Inside a converted cave. 

Tony Stark, who was originally bright and beautiful, at the moment was lying in a shabby hospital bed in a mess.

His chest was covered with bandages. 

There is a wire under the clothes connected to a large lithium battery.

Tony on the hospital bed was in pain. 

He didn't know if it was a nightmare or because of the stress response of the body after the injury.

After a while, Tony snapped his eyes open. 

The discomfort in his nose made him uncomfortable. 

When he touched it, he found that there was a tube. 

After pulling it out with force, every part of his body was in pain, as if it was about to fall apart. 

When he was about to roll over and get out of bed, he realized that his body was covered in bandages. 

There is also a wire.

"What the hell is this?" 

Tony had no idea what was going on right now. 

All he could do was to pull the bandage off his body. 

"If I were you, I would never do this." 

In the dark corner of the cave, a faint voice came. 

Tony looked around and saw an older man standing in front of the mirror shaving his beard. 

Tony, who had never listened to other people's advice very much, naturally wouldn't stop his actions because of his words. 

Continue to tear the bandage on the chest. 

Soon, he saw that his chest, at the moment, was a mess, covered with tiny wounds.

Out of the center, a circular metal object was embedded on it, and a wire was derived from it and connected to the large battery on one side.

Tony watched this scene in disbelief. 

"What the hell did you do to me?"

After a while, Tony regained his strength, sat on the edge of the bed and asked weakly to the stranger in front of him. 

He definitely didn't know that the person in front of him was Yinsen, who had a relationship with him at a technology conference.

Tony's question made Yinsen smile: "What did I do to you? I saved you." 

"I've done my best to remove the shrapnel from your body, but there are still a lot of tiny pieces that flow into your veins." 

After some conversation, Tony finally understood that the electromagnetic device on his chest was for his life. 

Slow down the time it takes for debris to enter the heart. 

But it can only be delayed for a week. 

A week later, he would still be dead. 

And ironically, this explosive weapon is also his own masterpiece. 

At this moment, a rapid script sound came from outside the door. 

Yinsen's face changed instantly: "Quick, quick, stand up." 

"Whatever I do, you do what I do."

Tony stood up reluctantly and put his head in his hands. 

Before he came, Yinsen explained to Tony, "They're the Ten Rings, and they attacked you and brought you here."

"Wait a minute, don't talk, I'll talk to them." 

Tony nodded, realizing that this was a group of terrorists.

Soon, a slightly fat terrorist brought a group of brothers to Tony. 

After a while of talking. 

Tony finally understood why he was kidnapped.

Create the most lethal Jericho missile!

"I won't do it!" 

Tony's answer directly allowed the Ten Rings to carry out a brutal abuse that did not endanger his life. 

Finally, under Yinsen's persuasion, Tony could only pretend to cooperate first. 

Outside the cave, Tony, holding a lithium battery, saw that the weapons held by this group of terrorists were actually made by Stark Industries.

He has always naively thought that the weapons he made should be bought by the governments of various countries to build national defense and the peacekeeping operations of the United Nations.

Now he realizes that he was very wrong. 

The little leader of the Ten Rings said that he could provide any material Tony needed, and as long as the Jericho missile was developed, he would be let go.

Tony knew it was just their rhetoric. 

When the missile was researched, it was when he died.

Inside the cave, Tony looked frustrated. 

Yinsen comforts and encourages Tony.

"No matter what, they will kill me." 

"Even if they don't kill me, I won't survive for a week."

Tony never thought that one day he would be so close to death. 

"So, it's a crucial week, right." 

Yinsen's voice fell.

For some reason, Tony's mind recalled the mecha he saw that day when it was cloudy and raining. 

If I can.....

Tony's dark eyes gradually returned to light. 

As a genius, a grand design plan slowly unfolded in his mind. 

Far away on the other side of the world, Andrew, who was shopping for gym equipment, didn't know it was because of him.

A different Iron Man is being born.

Inside the Connors Laboratory.

Connors was writing formulas on the blackboard, as well as new recipes for reagents. 

Messy hair and dark circles under the eyes.

It's enough to prove that Dr. Connors stayed up all night last night. 

He found a breakthrough, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Peter walked into the laboratory, only to find a series of formulas on the blackboard. 

"Doctor, did you stay in the lab without going home last night?"

Peter couldn't believe it. 

"Yes, Peter. I've found the crucial link, based on the formula."

"There is absolutely no problem this time." 

Connors' tone was full of excitement. 

Even with a hint of madness.

Peter also noticed Connors' strangeness and said quickly, "Doctor, leave the rest to me." 

"You should have a good rest."

"No, I don't need to rest." 

"Peter, prepare to start formulating new genetic reagents now." 

"We're running out of time, hurry up!"

Peter knew he couldn't persuade Connors, so he immediately jumped into the experiment. 

For scientists, sometimes staying up all night is not a big problem.

The two worked intensively in the laboratory.

Andrew's house.

A fitness area was planned by him in this way. 

"Fortunately, the house I bought is big enough, otherwise these things can fill the place."

Gwen didn't stay with him today, but went to Oscorp Industries and their docking science fair thing. 

Otherwise, Gwen would be able to put on some tight tracksuits and move with him here. 

"Speaking of this, should I prepare a better-looking sportswear for her as well." 

Andrew thought to himself.

After all, with so many sports equipment, it is a bit of a waste for only one person to use it. 

Yep!

Can't be wasted!

Andrew did what he thought of, and directly turned on the computer and browsed the women's sportswear. 

One of them, in pink and white, instantly caught his attention.

"Well, it's just you..."
