A few minutes...
Almost suited up in the Iron Man armor, Tony suddenly heard rapid knocking at the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Yinsen typing on the keyboard, almost made a mistake when he heard the commotion outside.
"Yinsen! How much longer?"
Tony shouted nervously.
"Almost done! Just a few more minutes!"
Finishing the final code, Yinsen grabbed a nearby hammer and hid behind the door, ready to strike any intruder.
"Is anyone in there? If so, make a sound!"
"Captain, no response inside."
"The door is locked from the inside. Someone's in there. Report to the commander, we're breaching."
Hearing the voices outside, Yinsen's despair turned to hope.
That was proper English, not the so-called freedom fighters.
"Tony, I think we're being rescued!"
Relieved, Yinsen excitedly told Tony, who was fixed in the Iron Man suit.
Tony, equally tense, also sighed with relief.
Perhaps because the suit was too hot, Tony's back felt drenched, unsure if it was from the heat or nerves.
"I'm Tony Stark! There's no danger inside. I'm opening the door now."
Tony shouted from inside the Iron Man suit.
Hearing the voice, the two agents exchanged excited glances and radioed, "Commander, we found Tony Stark! He's alive! We're imme..."
The agent's voice cut off abruptly.
Sharon Carter listened to the silence on the communicator, her breathing quickening.
"Hey! What's your status?"
"Hey? Hey! Damn it!"
Sharon angrily threw the communicator on the ground.
"Where did Edward and the others go? We need to support them, something must have happened," Sharon ordered furiously.
Hearing the sudden silence outside, Tony felt a pang of fear.
Could something have gone wrong?
Were the rescuers ambushed?
Thinking this, Tony quickly stopped Yinsen from removing the hammer.
"Yinsen, don't open the door! There might be an ambush outside," Tony shouted anxiously.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps approached. Sharon Carter arrived, her face dark, looking at the two familiar sets of combat gear on the ground.
"Damn it! What is Fury hiding?" Sharon cursed, staring at the clothes. The whole mission felt eerie.
If there were no secrets, she'd never believe it.
Fury always kept something back; this wasn't the first time he'd done something shady.
Tony, fully suited up, heard the familiar curses outside and excitedly called, "Sharon Carter? Is that you, cousin?"
Hearing the confident, cheeky voice, Sharon's initial anger turned to excitement. "Damn it! Don't call me cousin, you jerk!"
If Tony Stark was saved, losing a couple of agents would be worth it.
This was her first good news of the night and the only good news so far.
"Tony, you idiot, are you in there? I'm opening the door to rescue you! Stay put," Sharon quickly shouted, fearing the playboy might mess something up.
"What's that?"
Just as Sharon Carter was about to order a breach, she frowned.
Sharon keenly heard a crawling sound, like many snakes slithering.
As a top agent, Sharon sensed something was wrong.
"Alert! These purple plants aren't right!"
Sharon looked at the dense purple vines on the walls, feeling her scalp tingle.
At this moment, the detected Containment Item-307 revealed its true nature.
Countless vines surged towards Sharon and her team, covering the cave walls.
In this instant, the agents looked like helpless prey in a giant maw, small and pitiful.
Despite breaking many vines with bullets, the vines seemed endless, constantly advancing.
Within minutes, several agents led by Sharon had fallen asleep.
As agents continued to fall, only Sharon, holding a knife, remained standing.
If not for some vines feeding, Sharon would have been part of the meal.
At this critical moment, the door behind Sharon was kicked open, and a heavily armored Stark walked out.
"My dear cousin! Your big cousin is here..."
Before Tony could finish his remark, he saw the vines filling the cave.
"Damn it! What is this?"
Tony looked in horror at the dense purple vines.
