The End of the World: Chaos
Chapter 24: Short and Fat Man
Tony Stark was the guy who was thrown into water, beaten at gunpoint, and threatened in many ways. Ethan, despite his miserable situation, had only a hot coal picked up by a short and fat man with tongs and placed in one of his palms.
The following scene was like a fancy torture. But the two men just experienced it and did not really face a life-and-death crisis.
Lu Yu observed for a while, then he felt relieved and stopped concentrating his mental strength all the time, ready to intervene at any critical moment.
Lu Yu thought that all this was nothing. For the people of "707" of the Ten Commandments Gang, this attack was as light as it could be. Compared with the methods used to deal with similar people in the past, it was nothing.
But no matter whether it was Tony Stark, who had been spoiled since childhood, or Ethan, who had already been through a lot, they all agreed that this experience was terrible enough, and their bodies and minds were on the verge of collapse.
At this time, the bald man noticed the situation of the two and finally ordered everyone to stop torturing them. Tony Stark struggled to emerge from the water with his wet body, gasping for breath. Ethan was able to get rid of the charcoal fire on his hand, clenched his injured hand, convulsed in pain, and the cold sweat on his forehead could not stop rolling down.
The condition of both of them can be said to be terrible.
"I don't like people cheating me, this is the first time you do this, and I hope it will be the last time!" The bald man warned with a smile. However, this smile did not make the two victims feel that he was friendly at all, but made them feel that he was more cruel.
If it weren't for Tony Stark's translation and Ethan's need to make the Jericho Missile for them, they would have died long ago. They knew this.
"I give you five days to build the Jericho missile, otherwise you will regret it!" The bald man said to the two of them, and then gave a few more instructions to his men.
"Treat their wounds and don't let it affect the progress of the project!" Then, the bald man left. Most people completed their tasks and left one after another. Only a few stayed to help them treat their wounds.
The so-called wound treatment was actually just a simple bandage and some anti-inflammatory drugs thrown to them. After that, those people also left.
In the end, only Tony Stark and Ethan were left.
"Are you okay?" Tony Stark's injuries were minor, the main problem being drowning, but he recovered quickly, walked quickly to Ethan and helped him up.
"I'm fine, it's just that our plan has fallen through." Ethan responded.
"That's true, but there's something we can do." Tony Stark said, taking out a mobile phone from the blind spot of the surveillance camera. However, this phone was so old that it looked more like a small stone than a phone.
"What is this?" Ethan endured the severe pain in his palm and asked Tony Stark carefully.
"A cell phone."
"I know it's a cell phone, but I'm more curious where you got it from?"
"I just saw it hanging on a terrorist, I guess it's his, so I just took it away." Tony Stark said proudly.
"But is this thing useful? Not to mention whether it can be used because it is so old, there is no base station here, not even a signal. Do you still want to call the police?"
"I can modify it, maybe it can be used!" Tony Stark said, and immediately checked his phone in the blind spot of the surveillance. He knew that he might be discovered at any time, so he decided to check the condition of the phone as soon as possible and modify it to see if it could be used.
Ethan looked at the phone in Tony Stark's hand and felt confused. Afghanistan is not the United States. Not everyone carries a cell phone with them. Although this phone is old, it is unlikely to appear here casually. Did Tony Stark just happen to pick it up?
How could a rich young man who had just escaped from terrorists easily take things from a vicious terrorist?
However, Ethan couldn't find any illogical reason for the appearance of this phone...
…
Would the terrorists allow them to contact the outside world? Lu Yu, who had been secretly watching them, couldn't help but admire Ethan, who could actually detect the problem. Unfortunately, Lu Yu's plan was deeper than Ethan's.
Just as Ethan hid his doubts in his heart and planned to slowly look for answers, the door of the cave was opened without warning, and a terrorist from the Ten Rings Gang rushed in. Without giving any time for explanation, he kicked Tony Stark, who was studying the mobile phone, out with a flying kick, and the mobile phone flew up and hit the wall and broke into pieces.
When the terrorists from the Ten Rings saw this scene, their faces suddenly changed. They ran towards Tony Stark and started punching and kicking him, chattering something while beating him.
Ethan tried desperately to stop it, but was punched several times. Finally, a few terrorists saw Tony Stark vomiting blood after being beaten, and they were afraid that something might happen to him, so they stepped forward to stop it and pulled the people away.
After Tony Stark recovered his breath, the first thing he asked Ethan was what happened.
"He said 4.6 (should be Arabic numerals, translated into English should be 4.6, but it may refer to a specific statement in the text), the cell phone was the only legacy his father left him when he was young, and you dared to steal it and destroy it. In short, it was something like that." Ethan replied with a sigh of relief.
He originally thought there was some problem here, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
Otherwise, the terrorist would not have reacted so violently, and Tony Stark would not have been beaten half to death right after stealing the phone. The guy was really ruthless.
"Where's your cell phone?" Tony Stark asked simply without thinking too much.
Ethan looked towards where the phone had been.
Just now, the cell phone had been completely smashed to pieces. The terrorist even stepped on it hard before leaving, and now it has been completely shattered to pieces.
It looks like they may be missing out on an important opportunity.
The previous mobile phone was indeed broken into pieces, but what was surprising was that Tony Stark was able to find some parts from it and assemble such a small device, and it was still a gadget on a mobile phone. Even if you can't make it to the level of a satellite phone, you have to find a place with a signal! There is not even a base station around!
Ethan really doubted whether it could be used normally.
"Even if you don't trust anything else, you should believe in my reputation, Tony Stark, right?" Tony Stark's face was swollen like a pig's head at this time, and his words were a little unclear.
Although this sentence was said when he was in a bad situation, the name Tony Stark itself was very convincing, which made Ethan choose to believe it.
"Then let's see if its circuit can withstand the test."
As he spoke, Tony Stark turned on the power.
A burst of sparks flashed on the device, accompanied by a crackling sound.
However, it looked as if the device had short-circuited.
"This... doesn't seem to be working?"
As he was speaking, the device suddenly made a "beep" sound, and a little light came on, and it actually started up.
Ethan and Tony Stark looked at each other and could see a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
"Ethan, go to the surveillance camera and delay for a while. I will contact the outside world immediately!"
"Tony, do you know how to get in touch?"
"Of course I know. I remember the contact information of those military personnel clearly!"
"I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about how you can tell them exactly where we are and make them believe that you are Tony Stark. If just anyone gives them the contact information, will they believe it?"
Since the mobile phone was severely damaged, the device lost its call function and even text transmission was difficult. In this case, if they contacted the military, the other party would probably not believe their location description, and their location was not conspicuous. What if the military could not find them and retreated?
Tony Stark could not give a definite guarantee on this point.
"This one……"
Tony Stark hesitated.
"Do you have any proof or event that can convince the other party that you are Tony Stark? If so, please send it to them. If not, don't contact the military, contact the person who cares about you the most. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, the other party will never give up easily!"
After listening to Ethan's solution, what emerged in Tony Stark's mind was not something that could prove his identity, but a female figure.
"I see!"
After understanding what Ethan meant, Tony Stark took action and pressed a series of combinations on a device with only two buttons, 0 and 1.
He sent his identity information, events that could prove his identity, and the environmental conditions he observed outside the cave to the man via Morse code.
Tony Stark acted capriciously again and did not pass the news to the military, but to the woman in his heart.
After sending all the information he wanted to convey, he couldn't help but think of what had happened before, so he added some more content.
After completing the supplement, he finally sent the messages.
With a loud "bang", the device exploded like a lit firecracker, and countless electric sparks appeared again.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Ethan quickly asked Tony Stark.
“Overloaded!”
"What about the news?"
"I'm not sure. The transmission was overloaded during the transmission. Maybe it was transmitted, or maybe it didn't succeed."
Ethan: “…”
After working so hard for so long, this is the result?
……
Tony Stark was not sure whether the message had been sent successfully, but Lu Yu could tell him that the message had indeed been delivered and it was Lu Yu who helped deliver it.
Tony Stark obviously overestimated his device. At the critical moment, it was Lu Yu who came to the rescue and got the news out.
"It's really worrying, but it's finally solved. Tony Stark and the others don't have to worry about what happens next. It's not in vain that I've protected them for so long!"
It was not easy for Lu Yu either. It took him a long time to ensure that the information was delivered smoothly.
Now, the mission is finally accomplished! Now all he needs to do is make sure his future girlfriend gets the message...
