I'm rubbing the masked knight in the United States

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

January 01, according to the lunar calendar, today is the Spring Festival.

Edward blew on his palms, warming his somewhat numb palms with hot air, and walked out of the room.

In the original world, I always had to eat, drink, and play games. There is no difference between the Spring Festival and going to class. I didn’t expect that now in a different world, I have a sense of ritual for these holidays.

However, being in the central continent, there were really no conditions, so Edward had no choice but to give up. He just asked Rhodes to help him make two dumplings, and it was fun to eat them. Although the butter beef dumplings made Edward dare not recall the taste.

Edward drove the car as usual.

Get out of the blockade, and go for a walk in the desert as a matter of routine.

After coming here for a little more than a week, Edward is familiar with the process.

In the first few days, I was a little wary of him, but Edward performed well. Every time I just drove around within the range, I would give up. At most, I would communicate with Rhodes in the border area, asking for permission as a routine, saying that I wanted to go out Take a look, but Rhodes didn't give permission, so Edward really didn't go out.

Edward is not stupid, there are local conflicts here every few days.

On the first day when the rescue team arrived in the mountains, seven or eight people suffered minor injuries, and the car was scrapped that night.

Up to now, two-thirds of the rescue team has been wounded, and one is said to have died.

The rescue team was clamoring to evacuate yesterday, although Rhodes said that these people just wanted to raise their wages.

Stark Industries and Wayne Group may have another wave of riches and wealth to stabilize these rescue teams.

It's so dangerous, Edward has a brain to drive outside the prescribed area. He is here to paddle to earn favors, not to save him with death.

To be exact, it was useless for him to look for it seriously. Hawkeye from S.H.I.E.L.D. had appeared at the base two days ago, and Edward was reminded by the beetle to recognize him, but he took a long look at Edward and left. , didn't come over and didn't talk to Edward.

Although he didn't speak, the appearance of Hawkeye could already see something.

An intelligence agent organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent a trump card like Hawkeye here, and they are looking for clues if they find it. The Ten Rings may have some special defense methods.

Even if Edward can find a place with the help of the Traveler Prophet, will he confront the Ten Rings Gang who have special means?

Edward doesn't dare to mess around. God knows whether the Mandarin in this world is the fake one in Iron Man 3, or the real one with ten rings.

If the real Mandarin is really provoked, everyone here will be hanged and beaten. Even if it is stopped sometimes, Edward does not want to take this risk for the time being.

Edward drove out of the blockade and wandered aimlessly in the desert full of yellow sand. All Edward could do was wander, and to be precise, everyone could only wander in this way.

Looking for someone in the vast sea of ​​sand depends not only on eyesight, but also on intuition and fate.

The desert is too big and the people are too small. Finding people in the desert without a positioning device is not much better than looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, there are often quicksand and dust storms, and it is possible to accidentally bury them.

So after a week, the rescue team was a little lax because of the casualties. After Stark disappeared, there were a few sandstorms and a lot of quicksand. No one knew whether Stark was buried underneath.

Edward can't say that he is 100% sure.

It's not windy today, but it doesn't feel good to Edward. It doesn't mean that it doesn't feel good from the weather, but it comes from Tidd's trained crisis sense, which makes him feel bad.

But Edward cared about it for a while, and drove slowly, without running too far.

He came here at first to do a full set of acting, but after learning about the black magician Dupont and the black bug, he probably didn't have the idea of ​​solving it in the desert by taking advantage of the lack of people.

After waiting for a week, there was no abnormality, no one from S.H.I.E.L.D., no one from Hydra, and no black magician DuPont.

Halfway through the drive, Edward suddenly noticed something was wrong with the weather, the wind suddenly picked up, and the sand was blowing up to cover the sky.

"Sir, abnormal weather and energy fluctuations have been detected, please evacuate quickly," said the beetle in his pocket.

The clouds in the sky covered the sun but did not cover the sky, and there was a black wall of wind and sand moving rapidly in the direction of the wind, getting closer and closer.From a distance, the wind and sand wall towers like a mountain, very much like a city wall, which is the vanguard of the arrival of sandstorms.

Edward turned around with a drift, stepped on the accelerator and ran, closing all the windows.

"Edward come back soon, there's going to be a big sandstorm," the liaison officer arranged by Rhodes shouted to Edward through the communicator.

As soon as I spoke, a strong wind of magnitude 8 or higher was blowing, and the wind was so strong that it rolled up the stones and sand.As more and more sand and dust flew into the air, the dense sand and dust covered the sky and covered the sun, making Edward unable to see anything for a while, just like at night.

"What's going on? How can things change today?" Edward shouted while stepping on the accelerator.

Level 0 smoke column soars into the sky; Level 1 light smoke deflects with the wind; Level 2 light wind blows your face; Level 3 leaves move flags; Level 4 wind blows paper pieces;

Level 5 small trees swaying with the wind; Level 6 difficulty in holding an umbrella; Level 7 difficulty in walking against the wind; Level 8 branches broken by the wind; Level 9 roof tiles flying;

Level 10 pulls down trees and houses; level 11 and level 12 are rare on land.

Fortunately, the source of this sandstorm came from the other side of the desert, and Edward was not facing a headwind. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for Edward to run against a Category [-] wind.

Edward himself was also lucky. He was too smart to know that when running in the desert, appearance is not important, performance is important. He took this red car. The key is the tonnage. It is usually a burden, but in this strong wind, it is An important indicator of life-saving

If it had been lighter, it would have been blown away.

The sky was changing so fast, it was abnormally fast at all, and within the time it took to say another sentence, there was a black wind blowing in the sky.

The air near the ground is very unstable. The heated air below rises upwards, and the surrounding air flows to supplement it. As a result, the air carries a large amount of dust and rolls up and down, forming countless dust clusters of different sizes that meet and surge in the air.

The upper layer of the wind-blown sand wall is often yellow to red, the middle layer is grayish black, and the lower layer is black.The yellowing and redness of the upper layer is due to the fact that the upper layer of sand and dust is thin and fine-grained, and sunlight can almost pass through the sand and dust.

The dust in the lower layer has a high concentration and coarse particles, and the sunlight is almost completely absorbed or scattered by the dust, so it turns black.The place where the wind and sand wall moved, the sky was bright and dark, constantly changing.

If only the strong wind is considered magic damage, then the sand, stones and various debris mixed in the strong wind are deadly hidden weapons.

The crackling and smashing car windows kept Edward nervously staring at the beetle. Once the window was about to break, even if there was no one else nearby who could let him grab food, he had to stop immediately.

The rocks in this wind speed are really fatal. Edward didn't want to die in such a miserable way.

"Stop talking nonsense, open the sand wall quickly, the sand wall is approaching you" the liaison officer's voice shouted from the other side.

"I saw"

The sandstorm connects the sky and the earth, and everything within sight is blocked, moving towards Edward like a gray wall curtain.

Strong winds blew up dust and sand on the ground, making the air extremely turbid, and horizontal visibility was less than 50 meters.

Edward calls beetles in his head

"Is the weather here like crazy? It changes at any time."

"Sir, abnormal interference energy fluctuations have been detected. The characteristics of the interference energy source have not been recorded, but there are similar records for energy usage."

"Storm" Edward thought for a long time and then remembered that Storm had a special attack on the weather.

"It's similar to the energy form of vision-disturbing rays I encountered in New York bars."

that ring

Edward frowned. The broken ring collapsed immediately after being used up by the thief, and no valid information could be detected, that is, Edward could associate it with the Ten Rings Gang by virtue of the time traveler prophet.

However, the Ten Commandments Gang

Edward watched the sudden strong wind outside, and fell into deep thought.

He remembered that among the ten rings owned by the Mandarin, there was a ring called Vortex that controlled the airflow, which seemed to be able to create the effect of a sandstorm.

I am afraid that I am really being poisoned by my own crow's mouth. In this desert, there are genuine Mandarins with the Ten Commandments.
