[Tony. ] During the stalemate between Tony and Alex, Bruce's communicator actually sent him a communication request on his own initiative.

Bruce all right? !

Tony quickly connected, feeling joyful in his heart, and pretending to be casual, he said: [Are you okay? 】

[The man retreats. 】Bruce said that from the sound, except for a little panting, he was not too weak. Considering that Bruce had a problem with his physical strength just now, Tony felt that he should not be strong.

【Where are you? ] Bruce asked again.

Tony looked up at Alex, and said to the communicator: [A little trouble, I met the soldier who was just about to attack me. 】

Listening to his conversation with the communicator, Alex said awkwardly: "Listen, I really didn't mean to attack you, I was just dreaming..."

His name was Alex Shefford, a veteran who had just returned from overseas service, and the town of Shepherd's Creek was his hometown.

"Maybe it was stress trauma. Dr. Murphys said I had to come back to rest, so I came back." Alex explained what he had just done with embarrassment, "Then I found out that I have a little sleepwalking, I always From time to time, I will fall into a coma, and then appear in another place inexplicably..."

He seriously explained what he did just now, and it looked like he wasn't lying.

Staring into his earnest eyes, Tony repeated his words to Bruce, but from his personal feeling, he chose to believe what this man said.

The calluses on the veteran's hands and his walking habits all showed that he was telling the truth.

After staying with Batman for a long time, he has developed the habit of observing bats.

[He didn't tell lies. ] Bruce replied in the same way, and then he said, [Ask him how much he knows about the town? 】

So Tony hurriedly asked about the situation of this strange town.

Since Alex is a local, he must know the local situation very well.

Unexpectedly, his words made Alex a little embarrassed. He said to Tony: "But the town is now... how to say it, I can't even explain it."

After the two got acquainted with each other, the veteran not only answered Tony's questions, but also invited himself to be his guide.

He tells Tony that his hometown is no longer what it used to be, and the town is very dangerous now: "For a moment I thought I was dreaming or something, those monsters...they..."

While gesturing, Alex said to Tony: "They are scary and hard to kill. They hide in the fog, just like the zombies in the movie."

Was Bruce attacked by these things?

Tony relayed what Alex told him to Bruce. After thinking for a while, Bruce said: [The attacker who attacked me was a human. Although he was wearing a mask, based on his movements, I'm sure he was human. ] He paused, 【I stopped, the physical exertion was too great. 】

"I have a friend who got lost in the fog." Tony turned to Alex and said.

"It's the friend who was talking to you just now." Alex looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It's really amazing that he survived. Those monsters are hidden in the fog, and they are best at sneak attacking others."

"He's awesome." He made a conscious effort to turn off the comm so Bruce couldn't hear him when he said the words of praise for Bruce, "Do you know of a place around here that's so foggy that you can get lost? Would make a...expedition Lost home? I have to go and get him back."

"There is a lot of fog in this place." Alex smiled wryly, his eyes filled with disbelief when he looked at Tony, and after a while he lowered his voice and said, "I won't lie to you, even if locals walk in the current The small town will also feel very dangerous, haven't you noticed that the place is already empty? Many people have entered here and have not left... My brother has disappeared..."

"Is that the younger brother you called when you were sleepwalking?"

"His name is Joshua. He is 9 years old. He is a very good boy." Alex twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then he

Tell Tony about him and Joshua.

They are all locals in this small town. His younger brother disappeared in the fog not long ago. His father is the sheriff of the town. He went to find Joshua, but he never came back.

"I went home once after I came back, and my mother told me that Joshua was missing. I've been trying to find him, but I can't do what I want here." Alex said painfully, "Now here is Hell, you know? There are weird looking monsters everywhere, and I'm scared...frightened that something will happen to them. God, Joshua is my most important person. He's timid and alone in the fog What if you get lost?"

Tony asked, "How long has he been missing?"

"God knows, he won't be there when I come back. My mother...she's been driven insane by this broken place, and she doesn't know anything."

Alex's mother is crazy, his father is missing, but he only cares about his brother.

It seems that his relationship with his family is not very good.

"Listen, I can help you find your brother, but in the same way, you have to help me find my friend first." Tony said, "You saw it just now, I'm very good, so should I make a deal? Not familiar."

Alex thought for a while. In order to preserve the energy of the armor, Tony had already put the armor back, but anyone who saw the golden-red armor would never forget it.

As an ordinary soldier, Alex had never seen such a powerful armor, which almost surpassed all current technologies.

If that kind of high-tech mecha technology really exists, it will be the top secret in the military.

It is conceivable that Tony is definitely not an ordinary person.

"I can help you find your friend first." Alex said, he had no other choice, he had been wandering in the fog for a few days, every time he caught me Joshua, his brother would Disappeared, "But you must help me find my brother."

"Deal." Tony replied.

Next, Tony connected his communication with Bruce again. Although Bruce didn't know why he disconnected the communication, and he couldn't hear Tony's "he is very good", but this did not prevent him from guessing the awkwardness from the last sentence. Iron Man wanted to say something.

This made Bruce feel a little funny, so when he answered Alex's question about the situation, his tone became much softer.

In the column of the situation, Bruce can really not give many clues, because so far he has not been able to scan any buildings that can be used as landmarks.

He suspected that there was some special power hidden in the fog, maybe it was related to gems, so he didn't panic.

His words left Alex at a loss, but after a while, Bruce's voice became more confused: [The fog has faded. 】

No doubts, no inquiries, just a simple statement.

Batman can't judge wrongly, even if Tony hasn't tested it himself, he can completely trust Bruce on this point.

The fog had indeed faded. Tony didn't feel it just now, but less than a minute later, he could clearly feel that the scene in front of him began to become clearer.

Although it can't reach the level of complete clarity, it can barely see the scene a little further away.

【...Hospital, I saw a hospital. ] Bruce said suddenly, [I think I've been wandering around the hospital yard the whole time. 】

Tony was overjoyed, as long as he could see the landmark buildings, he could judge the location.

He quickly told Alex.

"The hospital in the small town, I know where it is." Alex said to him after hearing this.

Tony nodded, a look of joy unconsciously showing on his face.

Well, even though he dislikes Bruce quite a bit, in this weird place, he still has a little...although he only hopes that the world's number one detective is by his side.

At least that way he too can be sure Bruce is safe.

To be honest, during the few minutes when he disappeared just now, Tony still felt really scared. He brought Bruce Wayne here, and he had to be responsible for bringing him back.

Although Bruce Wayne

He probably thought so too, but there was no room for him to bargain over this matter, Tony should be more responsible than him.

As soon as Tony turned around and was about to set off to find Bruce, he suddenly felt his legs go limp, and he almost fell to his knees. Fortunately, Alex caught him quickly with his eyesight.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked quickly.

Tony waved his hand. He didn't feel it when the atmosphere was tense just now, but now he felt terribly hungry and his mouth was dry as if he had just returned from the desert.

He lost a great deal of his strength.

Even if he can't match Bruce physically, it's far from reaching the limit of his body.

Seeing his appearance, Alex seemed to understand what was going on, and he quickly took out a bottle of energy drink tied there from his waist and handed it to Tony: "Drink this, this will help you regain your strength."

Tony looked dubiously at the small bottle of water that didn't seem to be enough for him to drink in one gulp. He didn't believe that this thing could fill his stomach so hungry that he could swallow a cow.

"Trust me." Alex said, "This is the only thing here that can replenish your physical strength. No matter how much you eat, you won't have the food you brought, outsider."

Holding the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, thinking that the water he brought was gone anyway, Tony gulped down a bottle.

A miraculous thing happened. After drinking it, Tony really didn't feel hungry. He stared at the bottle in surprise and said, "What is this? What kind of magic water?"

"It's energy water." Alex said, "Our small town's specialty. After the heavy fog came, everyone found that their physical energy was exhausted quickly, so they specially studied this, and every household has it."

"Every household has it?" Tony's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Bruce has consumed a lot of physical energy, and he must be facing the same predicament as him now,

Three minutes later, Tony took the three bottles of energy water and a backpack he had just found from the empty room, and set off again with Alex to the small town hospital.

【You don't even know what I found, Holmes. 】Tony said to Bruce, 【You will regain your strength later. 】

Bruce didn't answer. If you give him ideas, he feels that everything in this small town is weird, and it's better not to touch any plants or plants here.

But the reality is that they can't move, even if there is poison in these things, they have to drink it.

Otherwise, with their current consumption rate, they would die of exhaustion within a day.

Didn't hear Bruce's answer, Tony continued: [Hey, why don't you talk, Bruce Wayne?Do you feel your self-esteem has been damaged by suddenly exposing your vulnerable side?Please I don't want to hit you.Seriously, Peter would probably feel bad if I broke you down. 】Tony said jokingly, 【He gets along with you very well recently. 】

[I thought he was afraid of me. ] Bruce hooked the corner of his mouth, he looked at the corner of the hospital in front of him, found a safe corner, then waited for Tony to arrive, and then said, 【Every time I take him out on night patrol, he acts like... Hell. 】

[That must be because you are too serious, he is still a child. 】

[When Dick was this age, he and I had already formed a dynamic duo. 】Bruce said that he accidentally glanced at the outside window of the hospital, and his pupils shrank suddenly when he saw the scene inside, 【I want to go in. 】

Such a relaxed topic had already relaxed Tony's tense heart, but Bruce's next sentence lifted Tony's heart again, and he stopped in his tracks: 【What are you talking about, Holmes?We'll be there in half an hour at most.You are exhausted now, what do you want to do? 】

[There is no time left. ] As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Tony heard the sound of glass shattering over there. Obviously, that person didn’t intend to discuss it with him, but just reluctantly informed him, 【I seem to have seen it just now...】

【……Myself. 】
