War machine Rhodes lay in a bed in a military hospital, covered with thick bandages. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes revealed exhaustion and pain. He had been wounded in the previous fierce battle with the Desperate Warriors, but he did not regret it, because he knew that he was fighting to protect the people.

Just as he was immersed in the silence of the hospital room, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Rod, we're coming to see you!" A kind voice rang out, and Tony Stark and Pepper Potts walked into the room together, some gifts in their hands.

"Hey, Lao Tie, you're really a big hero!" Tony joked and beckoned to Rod, still holding a bag full of small snacks in his hand.

"yes, Rod, you're amazing!" Pepper complimented with a smile as she handed Rhodes a bouquet of flowers.

Rod had a smile on his face, and although he was injured, he was in an extra happy mood. He said with emotion: "You can really comfort people, what is this little injury, I can continue to fight." "

Oh, you're proving that you have an iron will!" Tony began to tease again.

Not to be outdone, Rod shot back with a smile: "Haha, you have to know that I'm a war machine, and it's still a piece of cake to deal with you as an engineer." The

three of them joked in the ward, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. The gifts brought by Tony and Pepper warmed Rod's feelings, and he said with emotion, "Thank you, really, you came to see me, I feel better." "

How can we not come to see you, you are our good friend and a great hero!" Pepper said softly.

Tony then said, "Yes, Rod, you're a brave warrior and we're all so proud of you. "

Alright, don't talk about that." Rod interrupted their compliments with a smile, "How did you two come together?" Pepper

smiled and explained, "Tony said he was coming to see you, so I came with me and bought some snacks."

"I know your favorite thing to eat is these little snacks." Pepper handed Rhodes the bag of chips and candy in various flavors.

"Thank you so much." Rod said gratefully.

Next, the three of them chatted about some family routines, talking about recent interesting things and work. Tony still makes some jokes from time to time, which makes Rod laugh. Pepper was gentle about Rod's injuries and told him to rest.

After the small talk, Tony's expression grew serious. He looked at Rhodes seriously and asked, "Rhodes, who are those terrorists you met in battle?" Rod

was a little curious in his heart, shouldn't Tony's character know something in advance? But then I thought about it, maybe Tony just knew a rough idea.

Rod frowned, recalling the battle. "They call themselves 'desperate warriors,' and their leader seems to be called 'Mandarin'. Their strength is strong, and they have strange self-healing abilities, almost like supernatural beings, and they seem to be able to control the heat. "

High temperature?" Tony Stark raised an eyebrow and smiled wickedly.

"Bastard. What do you think! Pepper knew that Tony next to him was messing around again, so she punched him in the head.

Tony Stark looked at Pepper in pain, and Pepper looked at him with a smirk on his hands and a closed mouth.

"Okay, I surrender."

Then he looked at Rhodes and said, "This "Mandarin" seems to be very interesting. "This 'Mandarin' sounds like an organized terrorist force, and their abilities are not simple."

"Yes, that's what I thought, too. I think there must be some kind of technology or supernatural power behind their ability to heal themselves. Rod said seriously.

Tony nodded, and he decided to go back and let Jarvis gather information about the word "mandarin". Perhaps this force is hidden behind the scenes, and there may be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"Rod, you have to rest well, and when you're healed, I'll throw you a private party." Tony encouraged, giving the other a knowing little look.

Rod smiled and blinked quickly with his eyes, indicating that I had received Lao Tie, and I would wait for me to heal. Fight with you for 300 rounds.

......

In the bank hall, a group of robbers armed with cold weapons threatened the hostages with hideous faces. They have been injected with the Desperate Virus, their abilities have been strengthened, and their bodies that have been hit by bullets have recovered quickly. One of the robbers shouted: "Don't move! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences! The

hostages huddled together in horror, and the atmosphere at the bank became tense and oppressive. After the robbers were injected with the Desperate Virus, they felt incomparably stronger, as if they had become invincible, and this feeling made them crazy and brutal.

At this point, a security guard tried to resist, but was easily knocked to the ground by the robbers. The robbers smirked, they thought they had the situation under control.

Just then, a flash of lightning flashed, and a hero in a blitzkrieg suit appeared at the door of the bank hall.

"Stop! Drop your weapon! The voice of the electric light man was very cold.

"Damn! It's an electric light person. When

the robbers saw the appearance of the Electric Light Man, their hearts trembled. Although they have the abilities given by the Desperate Virus, they suddenly feel extremely stressed when a real superhero like the Electric Light Man appears in front of them.

However, there are also some robbers who have not fully adapted to the virus and have begun to experience symptoms of rejection. Their bodies gradually became unusually hot, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

"Damn, these guys can't control the Desperate Virus!" One of the robbers screamed in horror.

In the midst of the chaos, one of the robbers suddenly lunges at the Electro Man, trying to use his enhanced abilities against him. However, the Electro Light Man moved quickly, easily dodging the robbers' attacks and punching him in the chest.

The robber was hit by the electric energy impact of the electric light man, and his body trembled instantly, and finally fell to the ground, no longer moving.

"Who else?" The Electric Light Man glanced indifferently at the other robbers, his tone full of warning.

The remaining robbers trembled with fear from the power of the Electro Light Man, and they all dropped their weapons one after another, not daring to make another attempt.

And some of the robbers did not fully adapt to the desperate virus, and the robbers who began to have symptoms of rejection also seemed to be half cold, and for some reason the symptoms of rejection quickly disappeared.

"Catch them!" Suddenly, the police arrived at the bank and handcuffed them one by one with gloves.

"You'd better be careful, don't put too much pressure on them, they'll explode." The electric light man looked at the sheriff to the side and said.

The sheriff originally thought that the electric light man who would fly away directly after solving the matter did not leave, but told himself about these people, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Explosion?"

"Yes, the explosion." The Electric Light People have also been looking for the masterminds behind these people recently, but without exception, these desperate warriors turned out to be a group of buyers, not real "sellers".

Although for a moment he thought about going to the Hawker Group, he immediately shook his head.

And at this moment, the electric light man noticed that the turned on TV screen was playing a video at the moment.

On the TV screen, the image of Mandarin is revealed. He was dressed in a splendid costume and looked arrogant and arrogant. Behind him was a huge national flag, and he was standing in a luxurious hall with extraordinary momentum.

"Dear America Government, I have come to declare war on you!" Mandarin's voice was loud and majestic, "On behalf of the Desperate Warriors, we will plunge all of America into fear and chaos!" On

the screen, Mandarin's desperate warriors were displayed, all of them looking fanatical, as if they had been incited by Mandarin's words.

"You are a country that has been corrupted by hypocrisy and corruption. Your government, in order to maintain so-called 'justice', has broken its word. They call those of us who have been outcasts of society 'desperate warriors', do we only deserve to be what you call 'terrorists'?

Mandarin's words were filled with anger and resentment, and in an impassioned tone, he expressed a strong accusation of social injustice and hypocrisy in América.

"Your country is nothing but built on deception and lies. Your hero, Iron Man, is nothing more than a liar, a hypocrite who uses technology and money to play with everyone.

Mandarin then stared at the screen, as if trying to speak to someone.

"War Machine, are you listening?" Mandarin turned to the other side of the screen, as if he could see with his eyes the location of all the people watching the TV, "You're Americaka's hero, but you can't stop us. I will give you one last chance, surrender and join us, or you will face destruction!

"Now, it's time for you to pay!" Mandarin's voice turned grim and unforgiving, "From now on, every Tuesday after that, I will show you a scene that will frighten you until your government submits to me, until you recognize this hypocritical society.

"I will make you tremble at my feet, and I will make you feel the taste of despair! You are nothing but my pawns, and I will let you witness the collapse of this country! "Mandarin's voice is getting higher and higher, and the penetration is getting stronger.

Mandarin's threat shook the hearts of the people of all America, and his terrorist attack caused widespread concern and panic among ordinary citizens. People watched in front of the televisions, feeling uneasy and frightened.

In a military hospital room, Rhodes was lying in bed, staring at Mandarin on a television screen. He felt the desire for him in Mandarin's words, as if he was telling Rod in the dark.

The opponent in front of him will be the most formidable enemy he has ever faced.
