"You're not going to suddenly panic and go crazy, are you?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Zhuge Cong and asked, as Zhuge Cong needed to know that Hikigaya Hikigaya was referring to his post-traumatic stress disorder.]
"Hopefully not."
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong also began their infiltration plan. Taking advantage of the darkness, and the fact that the ship was large enough with a lot of cargo and provided ample hiding places, their infiltration proceeded relatively smoothly.]
After stealthily advancing for a distance, Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong stopped. Hachiman peeked out, roughly surveying the number of people opposite him. Then, he looked up and saw his Iron Patriot armor.
At this moment, his Iron Patriot armor was restrained by its limbs, dangling high in the air.
[Hachiman Hikigaya could see that the visor of his Iron Patriot armor was open, and he could vaguely see a person inside. Hachiman Hikigaya immediately realized who was inside his Iron Patriot armor.]
Below was a huge oil drum, and Hachiman Hikigaya could see the Shadow Organization members still pouring oil into it.
"Oh my god."
The Shadow Organization treated his Iron Patriot armor like a cage.
"What's wrong? What did you see?"
[Zhuge Cong looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just retracted his head, and asked.]
"Those guys used my Iron Patriot armor as a cage, locking the President on top of a giant oil drum."
"They're going to burn him alive, man."
[Hachiman Hikigaya said to Zhuge Cong.]
"What kind of ancient execution and funeral rites are these? If it's a public execution, they've got quite a system."
After hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Zhuge Cong peeked out and sighed.
Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong also chose a concealed route and ran quickly, while being careful not to be discovered by the Shadow Organization members, since their weapons were far more powerful than the pistols in their hands.
"Are you here?"
Orochimaru looked down at Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong below and murmured.
[Ordinary people probably couldn't see Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong running in the pitch black below.]
However, Orochimaru (White Phosphorus) possesses exceptional night vision and eyesight, coupled with his ability to sense living beings, allowing him to clearly see the movements of Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong.
[Then Orochimaru also entered the live stream room.]
"The live stream is about to begin, everyone to your positions."
"Great, let's cut the camera from A to E, and give it a quick rinse."
Orochimaru (Shiro Rin) spoke to the operator controlling the camera.
"Are you holding the gun properly?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya asked Zhuge Cong, who was standing to the side.]
Upon hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's words, Zhuge Cong immediately raised his hand holding the gun and asked.
"Okay, what should I do now?"
"At 6 o'clock, watch out for the high ground, don't let the gun fire accidentally behind me."
"6 o'clock, high up, back, all done."
Zhuge Cong immediately did as Hikigaya Hachiman instructed.
"Put-put-put-put."
"Put-put-put."
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong were also spotted by one of the guards, and Zhuge Cong immediately fired back.]
[Zhuge Cong and the guard were evenly matched in marksmanship, neither of them hitting the other. However, Zhuge Cong did manage to blow up the lamp that was shining on them.]
Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya immediately crouched down to take cover, as the assault rifle in the enemy's hand was far more powerful than the pistols they were carrying.
"See? It's done."
After Zhuge Cong had taken cover, he spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing nearby.
"Yes, it's fixed. You broke the light bulb."
"I was aiming at the light bulb; you definitely couldn't hit it from this distance."
[Zhuge Cong, upon hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's words, stubbornly replied.]
[Hachiman Hikigaya was also displeased with Zhuge Cong's words, as Zhuge Cong's words were a direct questioning of his professional abilities.]
[Hachiman Hikigaya also revealed half of his body, then accurately shot and blew up another light bulb.]
After shooting the light bulb, Hachiman Hikigaya remained silent, simply watching Zhuge Cong. At that moment, silence spoke louder than words.
"What Iron Man Zhuge Cong said really cracked me up."
Sakata Gintoki, looking at Iron Man Zhuge Cong on the light screen, actually said that Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't hit him.
It's important to know that before becoming the Steel Patriot, Hachiman Hikigaya was Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya, and his marksmanship was truly exceptional.
Sakata Gintoki felt that Iron Man Zhuge Cong's words were like asking an air conditioner repairman.
"Master, what do you do?"
They share a similar charm.
"I'm out of ammo. Do you have any extra magazines?"
After realizing he was out of bullets, Zhuge Cong asked Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing nearby.
"A non-standard type of cong."
[Hachiman Hikigaya said to Zhuge Cong, "Their spears are different."]
"I know what I'm doing. Have you forgotten what I did before? I made this thing."
【"All right."】
"Give me one more."
"I don't have a gun that fits that description."
"You have five."
"Okay, okay."
"Alright, I'll scout ahead. Are you ready?"
Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya refused to give it to him, Zhuge Cong said helplessly, knowing that Hachiman Hikigaya looked down on his spear skills.
[Then Zhuge Cong immediately popped up, and then crouched down at lightning speed, just like in an FPS game where someone only pressed the Ctrl key once, only symbolically crouching halfway.]
"What did you see?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya saw Zhuge Cong peek out but immediately retreat, assuming Zhuge Cong had seen something extraordinary, and asked.]
"It was too fast, I didn't see anything."
Kazuma Sato remained silent. Zhuge Cong had already given him two jokes in a row, while the previous Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 hadn't given him many jokes.
However, Iron Man 3 did provide him with quite a bit of laughs.
It's not as good as the earlier questioning of Hachiman Hikigaya's marksmanship, or the performance of getting up and crouching down at lightning speed.
"Could you demonstrate, like the squatting you do in the light screen?"
This time, Kazuma Sato didn't lead a raid for Zhuge Cong; instead, Hachiman Hikigaya led the raid for Zhuge Cong.
Zhuge Cong remained silent, only tilting his head and revealing a smile that appeared harmless to outsiders, but was extremely dangerous to Hachiman Hikigaya and Kazuma Sato.
Hachiman Hikigaya didn't say anything more, but silently did a squat.
Then Zhuge Cong tilted his head and looked at Sato Kazuma, who was also completely bewildered. He hadn't said anything this time, so how did the flames of war end up on him?
Kazuma Sato also turned his head away, but fortunately, Zhuge Cong's dangerous gaze quickly shifted away from him.
"Let's do it again."
[Hachiman Hikigaya said, "Zhuge Cong also poked his head out again, but this time he didn't retract his head at lightning speed."]
Zhuge Cong saw four people approaching him and Hachiman Hikigaya's position.
"Three men and one woman, armed."
The three men and one woman mentioned by Zhuge Cong were constantly leaping back and forth on the boat, each time jumping from heights that were impossible for ordinary people to reach, or leaping like lightning. A reddish-orange glow could be seen on the faces and necks of these four people.
This also reveals the identity of this group: Extremis warriors injected with the Extremis virus.
"You know what? I miss my armor terribly right now."
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong leaned out to look at the weapon in the newcomer's hand. Hachiman Hikigaya then spoke to Zhuge Cong beside him.]
[Moreover, when he and Zhuge Cong scouted out, there were far more than just three men and one woman as Zhuge Cong had described; there were also many armed men in the distance.]
To be honest, Hachiman Hikigaya really misses the feeling of wearing the Steel Patriot armor; he could ignore most weapons.
"Don't be afraid, look there."
[Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly heard Zhuge Cong's voice, then looked up at the sky and saw a small bright spot rapidly approaching. Hachiman Hikigaya immediately recognized it as the Iron Man armor.]
[“That is…”]
