Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The armor was disassembled into individual parts and instantly shot into the villa through the main entrance.
Zheng Xiaotian swallowed hard. He wanted to say that in Iron Man, the armor would fly to the person just by extending the right hand. In reality, Tony had to clasp his hands together, bend his legs into a horse stance, and his face would show a pained expression, as if he were constipated and couldn't defecate. What an ugly posture.
The pieces of armor, like parts of a holy garment, appeared on Tony's body one by one, finally assembling into a complete set.
At the same time, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, one by one, rockets shot into the villa.
Boom, boom, boom. The rockets exploded.
Tony instantly appeared in front of Zheng Xiaotian, picked him up into his arms, and the sound of impact continued as rocks hit Tony's body.
"Kid, I owe you a life, and now I've repaid it," Tony said to Zheng Xiaotian.
The villa immediately crumbled. The villa, along with Tony and Zheng Xiaotian in his arms, fell into the sea.
Splash!
The water made a loud noise. It was impossible to tell whether it was the rocks, the luxury car, or Tony and Zheng Xiaotian that had fallen in.
The helicopter, seeing the mission completed, flew away.
In the sea, Tony's entire body was buried under the rocks. He couldn't get out for a while.
Bang, bang, bang. The source of the vibration was unknown, but the rocks were shaken apart.
"Sir, flight capability restored," a voice suddenly appeared in Tony's ear. At that moment, the rocks were still moving. He immediately increased the flight speed to 100%.
With a swoosh, Iron Man, carrying Zheng Xiaotian, shot up into the sky.
Zheng Xiaotian felt the armor flying. It seemed that Tony had entered a state of sleep. He remembered the Iron Man plot. In that plot, the armor ran out of energy while flying, and Iron Man fell, the impact...
In flight...
Energy consumption reached 95%...
Iron Man was falling toward the ground!
Boom, boom, boom!
Iron Man's landing was earth-shattering. It was a dark night, and it felt like an alien invasion.
The armor opened, and Tony walked out of it.
First, Tony moved the armor to the side. He checked and saw that under his perfect protection, Zheng Xiaotian was fine. Good, no one was hurt. Then, he found a rope and tied it to the armor.
Zheng Xiaotian slowly woke up.
"If you don't want to freeze to death, let's go," Tony said to Zheng Xiaotian.
"Is it safe here?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at the icy surroundings. He wanted to say, damn, I'm still in a short-sleeved shirt. Can you fly to a place like Guangdong? This is the North Pole, right?
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe," Tony said.
Tony called for Zheng Xiaotian to move forward.
The two came to a phone booth. Then, Tony started calling Pepper.
Zheng Xiaotian thought, at a time like this, are women still so important?
"Boss, a cup of coffee!" Zheng Xiaotian called to the cashier in the nearby convenience store.
"Sure, sixty yuan!" the cashier smiled.
Zheng Xiaotian felt his pockets and found only one hundred yuan. If he bought one, what about Tony? After all, he was the boss, and this was a time to show true friendship. If he was selfish, he wouldn't get the armor. With so many armors, Tony wouldn't be so stingy, right?
"Milk tea!" Zheng Xiaotian thought milk tea would be cheaper, and one hundred yuan should be enough for two cups.
"Sure, fifty-five yuan!" the cashier smiled.
Zheng Xiaotian sighed deeply. Fifty-five yuan, he was ten dollars short for two cups.
"Is there anything hot for less than fifty yuan?" Zheng Xiaotian asked directly.
"Heated canned coffee, ten yuan a bottle," the cashier said.
"If it's so cheap, why didn't you say so earlier?" Zheng Xiaotian stepped into the convenience store and handed over one hundred yuan.
Zheng Xiaotian not only took two cans of coffee but also some food. He thought that Tony would need a lot of energy to drag the armor. Preparing some food would help him on the journey. But the words sounded strange, like he was preparing food for someone to die.
Tony finished the call. Actually, he left a message, as the other party wasn't online.
Tony came out of the phone booth.
"Eat!" Zheng Xiaotian handed the bread and hot coffee to Tony. He spent a total of eighty-nine yuan. Now, he had only eleven yuan left from his monthly salary.
"That's all?" Tony held the bread and coffee in his hands, sipping the coffee with his left hand and nibbling the bread with his right. He said while eating, "I'm not full yet, get me more, quickly."
"Money!" Zheng Xiaotian extended his hand.
"Are you kidding me? When I was with a pretty girl, would I carry a wallet that would make me uncomfortable? The ambush came so suddenly, where would I have money?" Tony spread his hands.
"I worked for you for a month, and you only gave me one hundred yuan. The food for both of us cost eighty-nine yuan, leaving me with eleven yuan, just enough for a cup of coffee. If you want more, I can get you another cup," Zheng Xiaotian said helplessly.
"If I had known you were so loyal and a good employee, I would have given you more," Tony shook his head, feeling that giving one hundred yuan as a salary was a mistake.
"Are you just figuring that out now?" Zheng Xiaotian glanced at Tony.
"I've decided to give you a raise. Double it!" Tony said.
Zheng Xiaotian thought, damn it. After all this, he only gave me a one hundred yuan raise. Will he really give me the armor? Will I have to steal it in the future? Damn it.
