Corpses fell to the ground, and slaughter erupted throughout the camp.
Quite a few people caught sight of the fleeting figures of the Shadow Ninjas, cursing aloud.
"Fuck, what is that?"
"There are enemies, shoot, shoot!"
Instantly, gunfire erupted, and countless bullets poured toward the Shadow Ninjas.
Watching this scene, the crimson light in the eyes of the Shadow Ninjas grew even brighter, and the ninja swords in their hands waved continuously.
A series of clanging sounds rang out, and they actually used their swords to deflect a massive amount of bullets directly.
Such a sight filled the members of the Ten Rings with terror.
Yet the Shadow Ninjas did not hesitate in the slightest, their figures flashing as they charged straight into the crowd.
Their ghostly speed surpassed everyone's imagination, and before anyone could react, the Shadow Ninjas had already plunged into the crowd, kicking off a boundless slaughter.
The sound of flesh being pierced echoed one after another, and many people collapsed to the ground before they could even manage to scream.
Fresh blood flowed from their throats, gradually staining the ground red.
And this scene was not an isolated case, but rather played out across the entire camp.
The ten Shadow Ninjas had now completely transformed into reapers of the darkness; no one could stop them.
All the militants could only watch helplessly as death descended upon them, dying with endless terror.
Inside the cave, Doctor Yinsen, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by the gunfire outside.
He sat up, looking solemnly toward the mouth of the cave without knowing what had happened, and turned his head to glance at Tony beside him.
Seeing that Tony was staring blankly at the cave entrance, Yinsen couldn't help speaking up, "Hey, what's happening outside?"
Hearing this, Tony glanced at him and nodded, "I know, the people who are here to save me have arrived."
"Save you?"
Doctor Yinsen's mouth twitched, and he shook his head, saying no more.
When Tony was brought here, everything on him was destroyed and disposed of; even if he carried a locator, it would be useless.
Aside from the men of the Ten Rings, it was impossible for anyone to find this place.
Therefore, he did not believe Tony's words.
However, while he didn't speak, Tony stood up and took the initiative to say, "Let's go, it should be ending soon, we can go out."
"Huh?"
A trace of suspicion appeared on Doctor Yinsen's face.
Ignoring him, Tony hugged the battery in front of his chest, slowly stood up, and walked toward the outside of the cave.
Seeing this, Doctor Yinsen's expression changed instantly. He was a smart man, and precisely because of that, he did not trust Tony.
Yet when Tony took the initiative to walk outside, he wavered.
As the head of Stark Industries and a renowned genius, he did not believe Tony would be a fool.
Now that the outside was clearly plunged into chaos, and Tony still dared to venture out at such a time, what he had said just now was very likely true.
Someone really had come to save him!
At this thought, Doctor Yinsen's expression shifted, and he quickly followed behind Tony's footsteps.
The two left the cave and headed toward the mid-level slope. In the silent night, cries of agony could be heard echoing from time to time.
As the two drew closer, the screams grew scarcer, until in the end they were barely audible.
Gulp!
Doctor Yinsen swallowed hard, feeling his heart flutter with panic. He hadn't noticed it at first, but now it suddenly dawned on him.
The gunfire in the camp wasn't intense!
If the Ten Rings had been ambushed by the military or some other armed force, the gunfire should have been extremely fierce.
Yet aside from the gunfire he had heard earlier in the cave, up to now he had only heard scattered shots.
It didn't look like two armed forces exchanging fire at all.
Then, apart from armed forces, who was raiding the Ten Rings?
And what was going on with the screams coming from the camp?
People feared their own imaginations; as he pondered this, Doctor Yinsen, a Christian, found his heart instantly filled with terror.
A crucifix appeared in his hand at some point, gripped tightly. His gaze concentrated on Tony, seeking a trace of security from him.
Just like that, one after the other, the two soon stepped into the camp.
"Blech!"
A bout of vomiting suddenly erupted from Doctor Yinsen's mouth.
Standing at the edge of the camp and looking at the severed limbs and broken bodies inside, as well as the corpses covering the ground, he, who had always been engrossed in research, instantly couldn't help throwing up.
A look of shock filled his face; even though the physical reaction made him extremely uncomfortable, seeing the scenes throughout the camp, he still found it all hard to believe.
"How did you do this?" Doctor Yinsen said with a trembling voice.
The corners of Tony's mouth curled up immediately, "Guess?"
With that, he ignored the corpses littering the ground and walked toward the center of the camp.
After taking control of the Shadow Ninjas, his state of mind had unknowingly undergone some changes.
The most obvious point was that this Shura-like scene before him, which ordinary people found hard to endure, could not stir up the slightest ripple within him.
Strolling among the blood and skeletons, Doctor Yinsen followed behind him with a pale face.
Soon, the two reached the tent at the very center of the camp and found a satellite phone on a cluttered desk.
Seeing this, Tony couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.
Eliminating these members of the Ten Rings was only the first step; more importantly, how they were going to leave this patch of desert was the key.
The importance of the satellite phone went without saying.
Holding the phone, Tony was just about to dial Pepper Potts's number, but as his finger hovered over the dial button, he couldn't help stopping.
If he remembered correctly, the mastermind behind his kidnapping seemed to be none of other than his uncle, Obadiah.
Furthermore, Obadiah wanted him to die in this desert.
It was only because the Ten Rings wanted missiles that they had spared Tony's life.
As the number two figure at Stark Industries, Obadiah would definitely find out the moment Pepper Potts mobilized the power of Stark Industries.
How could Obadiah, who desperately wanted him dead, watch him return to Stark Industries with his own eyes?
He would probably contact other armed forces at the very first moment to launch a second assassination against him.
Tony naturally wasn't afraid, but doing so would waste too much time!
He needed to leave this place as soon as possible and return to his home country.
Even though he had slaughtered the kidnappers, the system had not yet judged the mission as complete; perhaps returning home safely truly counted as escaping alive.
Thus, Tony deleted the number, entered another string of digits instead, and dialed out.
Soon, following a series of beeps, the call was connected, and a somewhat exhausted voice came through the phone.
"This is Rhodey, what is it?"
"Rhodey, it's me, Tony."
"Fuck, where is the kid you now!"
Hearing Tony's voice, Rhodey on the other end of the phone instantly became excited.
During this period of time when Tony was missing, the United States military had been at its wits' end. As Tony's security detail member and close friend, Rhodey hadn't been able to sleep for days.
Now that he suddenly heard Tony's voice, how could he not be excited?
Holding the phone away from his ear, Tony waited until Rhodey finished venting before speaking again, "I don't even know my specific location right now; send someone to track the signal of this phone and pick me up."
"Oh right, remember to keep it covert, don't make a fuss."
Listening to Tony's calm words, Rhodey quickly calmed down.
"What do you mean?"
Rhodey said in a low voice. Able to become a military colonel, his intelligence was naturally not poor, and he caught the subtext in Tony's words immediately.
To this, Tony did not explain, merely urging, "We'll talk when we meet, hurry up."
"Alright, I got it."
Rhodey hung up the phone, handpicked fifty elites overnight, and rushed into the depths of the desert following the signal.
Before you continue
