"O Africa, your name is Desolation!"

Finally walking out of the inaccessible Gobi Desert, Burning John opened his arms, looked down at the faint outline of the town in the distance, and sighed deeply at the top of the weeds-covered hills in a lyrical tone like a sonnet.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since he set off from the North American continent. During these days, John traveled all over sensitive areas in central and western Asia. He not only sent a large amount of expensive drugs to Omar's warlord country, but also came into contact with many forces that he had never encountered before.

For a rookie, the first half of the mission was executed perfectly, but there was a little accident in the middle. When he set off for Africa as planned, the local agent sent by the S.H.I.E.L.D Central Asia Branch accidentally passed through Omar's men. Discovered the traces of John and others, and brought them a series of troubles since then.

In order to avoid being monitored, John and others had to give up taking modern transportation after entering Africa, and instead walked on foot to avoid the city. Since there was no railway along the way and the road facilities were extremely poorly constructed, they walked quite hard. Sandstorms, diseases, endless local armed forces... All kinds of incidents are constantly happening. As the captain, John can only find his own way to deal with the lack of rear support.

Suffering sharpened his will, and after the greenness faded away, the original frivolity in John gradually disappeared. If At the moment Iceman and Colossus and other college students suddenly appeared in front of Pyro, they would definitely not recognize this image. The man tightly wrapped in a turban like an Arab, with sharp eyes and a full beard and no age, is an old friend they are familiar with.

After venting the pressure in his heart, John turned his head and looked at the subordinates behind him. Behind him is a team of hundreds of people. The main body of the team is more than a hundred people who are the watchman's elite players. They maintained a good mental state, and the group of dispirited guys behind them were black guides and camel caravans hired at a high price before entering the desert.

Looking over everyone's heads, John looked far away at the place he just passed. There was an endless desert, arid and desolate, sparsely populated, no crops grew, only some thorns and bushes on the cracked ground surface sporadic distribution.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, John would never have believed that he had gone through such a difficult journey himself.

When he looked back, the final destination of the trip was in front of him - Wakanda.

Wakanda is located in the inland area of ​​Africa, facing Ethiopia and Kenya across the famous East African Rift Valley in the east, not far from Sudan in the north, and adjacent to Lake Turkana, known as the Jasper Sea, in the south. Small countries are surrounded in the middle.

Although little known, this country is the only source of Vibranium, an extremely valuable rare metal brought by alien meteorites, which benefits the entire kingdom of Wakanda.

Contrary to various outside speculations, the production of Vibranium is not as rare as analysts think. The Kingdom of Wakanda was built on a gigantic | huge extraterrestrial Vibranium meteorite, and the production is extremely rich. Each year, the Wakanda government only sells a small amount of metal deposits of 10,000 tons to the governments of various countries, and never trades with other organizations and individuals, and the market price has long been as high as US$10,000 per gram.

In the reality that there is a price but no market, the value of the royal family alone is as high as 500 billion U.S. dollars, far exceeding the sum of the properties of industrial giants such as Stark and Osborn, so various black market transactions have also emerged as the times require.

Although possessing such precious resources, the successive rulers of Wakanda were afraid of causing trouble because of their wealth. In order to keep secrets, the royal family of Wakanda tried their best to keep a low profile. Just selling a small amount of rare metals is enough to send domestic young people to study abroad, thus keeping Wakanda at the same level of development as the mainstream countries outside.

The level of science and technology is not inferior to that of mainstream countries. Naturally, the thinking of young people has also been influenced by the outside world. Many citizens who have received Western education began to question why the rich and intelligent Wakanda people would accept the monarchy. A little unstable, the originally united kingdom gradually became chaotic.

Fortunately, the Wakanda people have a wise and powerful king. In this mysterious country, "Black Panther" is the name passed down from generation to generation by the kings of the country. Speed, strength, physical fitness, and extremely keen sensory abilities are of great help to the royal family's maintenance of prestige.

Nevertheless, this mineral resource of great military significance still often attracts people from all walks of life to snatch it wildly.

Ulysses Crow, who was hired by Ross and came with John, is such an explorer. As a senior person who has been involved in the Vibranium black market for many years, the Wakanda government hates Crow very much, but those big shots with background and influence However, he regards him as an important channel for foreign smuggling. If it wasn’t for the accidental killing of King T’Chaka of Wakanda in a certain conflict, the prince T’Chaka who came to avenge him wounded him, and was wanted by the kingdom with a huge reward, perhaps the explorer Everyone is still using the price difference to make a lot of money, so Crowe is very hostile to the Wakanda royal family. Because he is very familiar with the inside story of Wakanda, John, who is usually a little arrogant, also attaches great importance to his opinion.

According to Crowe's plan, they will visit a high-ranking duke in this border town. This duke is a close relative of the royal family. In addition to raising private soldiers and plundering commercial roads, the seemingly kind and kind Duke is also the manipulator behind many smuggling transactions.

Although the royal family hates the duke for breaking the law, but because of the noble blood of this big shot, he usually spends generously, wins over some middle-level bureaucrats, and subsidizes some civil political organizations. Many people regard him as a representative of enlightened rule, so in order to maintain the rule, Even the king was reluctant to easily provoke disputes, lest the whole country be thrown into turmoil.

The duke definitely did not dare to let his crimes be exposed. After all, there is still a big gap between his strength and the king's. If the royal family really gets conclusive evidence, the king may directly hold a meeting of nobles to announce all the criminal evidence. Deprive him of power, then he will lose the help of his allies, and what awaits him will be more severe sanctions.

John and Crowe will be dealing with such a character. If the situation in Wakanda has not changed significantly due to the death of the king during the period when Crow fled Africa, then this person should still be sitting on the throne of the duke, enjoying the wealth obtained by selling Vibranium.

But if the Duke is unwilling to cooperate, Mr. John will not be frustrated. He will enter the mining area by himself as a watchman, directly defeat the local garrison, obtain enough ore, and then evacuate in time before Black Panther launches a counterattack.

Although the backup plan sounds risky, after more than two months of understanding, Crowe has no doubt that John has such an ability. He knew very well that Ross sent such a group of elite soldiers definitely not for a simple transaction, and he also hoped to use the power of the cutting-edge laboratory to take revenge on the Wakanda royal family who hated each other.

"I am now visiting the Duke's Manor with Mr. Crowe. After we enter|enter, the annunciator will be contacted every quarter of an hour. If the signal cannot be received after a quarter of an hour, the emergency contact has not received a correct answer, or there is an accident inside the manor. For normal changes, I authorize the deputy captain to launch an attack directly." John summoned his small captains, gave them a few instructions, and after making arrangements, he and Crowe went to the Duke's Manor outside the town.

"Don't be so nervous, boy, I know Wakanda very well, and don't forget that not everyone can just kill a king and get away with it. The Duke's guards may not be easy to talk to, but the Duke himself is always generous, maybe we don't You can get enough goods with your own hands, and then you can explain to the boss." On the way, Crowe kept bragging to John about his previous glorious experience and his good personal relationship with the Duke, completely forgetting that he was caught by cutting-edge experiments. How miserable and desolate the room was before it was hired.

According to Crowe, it was because of the support of many big shots that he was able to escape after killing the king, and the duke was one of them.

John was dubious about Crowe's statement, but he soon discovered that the other party really knew Wakanda very well. Although the Duke's guard guarding the manor had changed to another group, the long-term peace made the vigilance of the indigenous soldiers generally low. Knowing the situation inside the manor, the two of them sneaked in easily when no one was paying attention, until the long-lost Duke appeared in front of him.

However, John soon discovered that Crowe's plan had gone awry.

In a spacious and airy luxurious hall, he and John met the noble duke.

The Duke's body is as plump as the fattest hippopotamus, and there are several women of various skin colors hanging on his body, which looks like a few female monkeys climbing on the top of a meat mountain. The comparison of body shapes is quite funny.

When he saw the two people who broke in suddenly, his voice was stuck in his throat, his small eyes were wide open, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost, and then he screamed out of the duke's body. Mouth issued.

"Ulysses Crowe, you...you dare to come back!" Roshan shook violently, the penetrating sound echoed in the room, and the entire manor seemed to be awakened by the roar. .
