Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 17 Preliminary Rescue Operation

In fact, Lazar Hamidmi never intended to actually kill Tony. To Lazar Hamidmi, Tony was just a goose that lays golden eggs.

Now that fool Obadiah has actually handed the goose that lays the golden eggs to himself, it's no wonder that Raza Hamidmi could never hide the contempt on his face when facing Obadiah.

Of course, what Lazar Hamidmi didn't know was that Tony was indeed a hen that laid golden eggs, but that didn't mean the hen would obediently lay eggs for him.

On the contrary, Tony is not only not laying golden eggs for Lazar Hamidmi, but is also plotting how to escape from here. In particular, after discovering that the guys in this base are not very educated, Tony decisively devised a plan called Mark 1.

Furthermore, under the guise of missile parts, all the design drawings were separated, and under the pretext of needing missiles, Lazar Hamidmi was asked for a lot of irrelevant parts, while his own real desires were mixed in.

With Ethan's help, Tony started swinging the sledgehammer inside the cave.

As Tony vigorously swung the hammer in his hand, making full use of his engineering skills, Sherlock's group was getting closer and closer to the valley where Tony was being held.

Perhaps because of the surrounding yellow sand, the guards outside the valley were not very tight, or even non-existent.

At the very least, Sherlock, the alchemist, and Zhao Weike, the assassin, didn't encounter any patrol personnel along the way.

Of course, it's also possible that it was because the two were driving through the desert.

It's worth noting that the valley's geographical location is practically perfect, with three sides surrounded by a vast and boundless desert, and only one side slightly close to the edge of the desert.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three deserts form a natural barrier, giving this valley unparalleled protection, making it a natural city wall.

In the minds of these terrorists, no one could cross such a desert, let alone have their own fraternal units on the outskirts of the desert responsible for air defense.

To put it bluntly, given the valley's geographical location, as long as they can hold onto this area near the edge of the desert, the valley is invincible. This is precisely why Sherlock has encountered the bizarre situation of not encountering any enemies along the way.

It can only be said that sometimes, fate is a truly mysterious thing.

Once the four of them could see the valley from their car, they abandoned their playful thoughts and entered combat mode.

Although Helen was not familiar with this kind of combat, she was able to carry out logistical support work with Doro.

After Sherlock used alchemy to create a bunker at night, Helen and Doro, two non-combatants, were left inside, while Sherlock and Zhao Weike each took their weapons and prepared to scout it out.

The desert was unusually cold at night. Sherlock and Zhao Weike reached the top of the mountain with almost no effort. When their eyes turned to the valley, both Sherlock and Zhao Weike couldn't help but gasp.

The reason is simple: the layout of this valley is truly terrifying.

Unlike the fleeting glimpse in the movie, the valley is actually much, much larger than it appears in the film.

Beneath the vast camouflage netting were crates of weapons and ammunition. Almost every moment, one could see people carrying firearms taking shells or guns out of those weapon crates, and then sitting to the side, polishing something with a file.

Not only that, there are also weapons and ammunition production lines in this valley, and things like gas cylinder cannons and heartless cannons are everywhere.

Putting aside everything else, it would be extremely difficult to break into this valley using conventional forces.

Most importantly, the weapons and ammunition that the terrorists were honing were clearly not something these guys who could only make gas cylinders and cannons could produce!

With the help of their assistant's high-powered binoculars, the two unintentionally and clearly saw the words "Stark Industries" written on the weapons case.

Seeing this scene, even Zhao Weike was somewhat confused. He put down his binoculars and looked at Sherlock beside him, his brows furrowed so deeply they were almost knotted together.

"Sherlock, if I'm not mistaken, that box has the Stark Industries logo on it, right? Tony shot himself in the foot? He tried to profit from both sides in the war, but one side doesn't want to pay?"

Zhao Weike's tone revealed undisguised disgust; after all, no one would like such a two-faced behavior, even if Zhao Weike was an assassin.

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's complaint, Sherlock's embarrassment flashed across his face for a moment. After thinking for a while, he replied somewhat helplessly.

"No, things are complicated here. You know, Stark Industries isn't just run by Tony alone."

Although what Sherlock said was true, and even reasonable, Zhao Weike still rolled his eyes in annoyance after hearing it, before continuing to observe the situation below through his binoculars.

After a long while, Zhao Weike sighed helplessly and spoke again to Sherlock beside him.

"Sherlock, the risk of us infiltrating is too great. The enemy has a large number of people and heavy weapons. Even if we manage to rescue Tony, we will not be able to escape their pursuit."

"My suggestion is, if you're certain Tony is here, then the safest approach is to report this directly to the military or that S.H.I.E.L.D. agency.

However, Sherlock remained silent in the face of Zhao Weike's suggestion, keeping his hands on the ground and his eyes closed the entire time, sensing something.

Shortly after Zhao Weike finished speaking, Sherlock opened his eyes and gave Zhao Weike a cunning smile, like a fox that had just stolen some fish.

"No, no, no, there's no need to make such a big fuss. I have a way to bring Tony out directly, but I think we need to change the timing. We'll come back tomorrow morning. We should go back to sleep now."

After saying this, Sherlock completely ignored the question mark that appeared on Zhao Weike's head, and pulled Zhao Weike back to his underground base. No matter how Zhao Weike asked, Sherlock remained silent, only saying that he would know when they took action first thing tomorrow morning.

As for why he did this, the reason is quite simple: Sherlock accidentally discovered the cave where Tony was being held while using alchemy to investigate.

Then, inside the cave, Sherlock discovered a suit of armor that had already been completed, and Tony, wearing glasses, sitting in front of a large computer, constantly programming.

It's clear that the Mark I is about to be born in Tony's hands.

For Sherlock, it's better to wait until the Mark armor is successfully built before coming to rescue Tony, rather than rescuing him now, so he can at least have some fun.
