Chapter 133: Iron Man

When Chen Mo woke up in the morning, he felt that the heartbeat of the survivor camp was one less.

By the time he arrived, he found that the old man had already passed away. However, the expression on his face didn't seem to be one of pain; it was as if he had left quietly in his sleep.

After Chen Mo's arrival, the survivors gradually woke up, and upon learning of the old man's death, everyone was heartbroken.

They survived the plane crash together and struggled to survive on this deserted island. It wasn't until recently, with Chen Mo's help, that their lives began to improve. Even if rescue never comes, they can still live well on the island.

Just when it seemed that life was finally showing some hope, the old man couldn't hold on until the end.

Looking at the old man's body, everyone couldn't help but have red eyes, and the two little girls were so sad that they were crying.

Although the elderly man rarely moved with them due to his poor health, and their interactions with him were limited, he was still their mutual companion. The two young girls were not psychologically prepared for life and death, separation, and did not know how to face it.

On the other hand, Su Wan, the old man's secretary, although she also shed tears and had her apricot-shaped eyes red from crying, didn't seem to have that kind of sudden difficulty in accepting the loss of a loved one. To Chen Mo, she appeared relatively calm.

It turns out that the elderly person's health condition was already very poor. Even if they continued taking medication as prescribed by the doctor, it was highly likely that they could fall ill at any moment and pass away.

The doctor's original recommendation was to stay in the hospital for recovery, which could extend the time a bit longer, but the elderly person did not want to spend the last moments of their life in a hospital bed.

So, after handing over all the company's affairs to his son, the old man, along with Su Wan and the bodyguard, began the final journey of his life.

They just didn't expect that fate was playing a trick on them; their originally planned Hawaiian island vacation turned into an exhilarating survival on a deserted island.

The old man is quite open-minded about it, believing that it was God's arrangement. Experiencing a near-death escape from a plane crash at the end of his life, surviving by luck, and going through the real and dangerous ordeal of surviving on a deserted island, he thinks it was worth living.

At least it's much more interesting than his original plan for a beach vacation.

At the end of life, everything has already been understood, and there is nothing left to let go of, so the elderly person leaves very peacefully.

Although Su Wan was sad, she had already prepared herself for the elderly person's departure when she came out this time. The elderly person's passing was sudden, but it wasn't hard for her to accept.

However, afterwards, Su Wan felt a bit lost. Ever since she graduated, she had been working at the old man's company, diligently and meticulously for several years. The old man valued her highly and had been actively nurturing her. In her eyes, the old man was not only her boss but also a close elder.

Now that the old lady has passed away, she doesn't know what to do next. But then she remembers her current situation—whether she can go back or not is uncertain. What's the point of thinking about all this?

No matter what, this elder who had always guided her and helped her grow has left, and the rest of the journey is for her to walk on her own.

Originally intending to complete the final journey of life, the old man had naturally already arranged his affairs with Su Wan. According to his previous decision, everyone cremated his body and scattered his ashes into the sea.

At this point, the survivors of the plane crash on the deserted island, including Chen Mo, were down to seven.

After the sadness, life must go on.

Life on the island has returned to its previous calm. The survivors fish and gather every day, busy yet fulfilled. When the harvest is good, they can even relax leisurely in the camp in the afternoon. Without the threats of hunger and cold, life on the island is not so hard to endure anymore.

Another week has passed, and Chen Mo's space has finally changed again.

Today, the survivors who had a good harvest returned to the camp early.

While a group of survivors were handling food and preparing dinner at the camp, in another part of the camp, Chen Mo was fully armed, standing in the open space in front of the tent, slowly immersing his consciousness into the space.

The cube space, which had already grown to five meters in length, had its originally void boundaries gradually becoming transparent. Through the space boundaries, that familiar starry sky reappeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

Just like last time, this time the two bright orbs appearing outside of space still represent the two traversable spaces.

Chen Mo, familiar with the process, slowly directed his consciousness towards the first orb of light.

In the world of Night Legends, Chen Mo's mental strength had significantly improved. At this moment, the images he received in his mind were much clearer than last time, but they were still very fragmented and chaotic, only allowing him to see some fleeting, brief scenes.

But that was enough, because in these numerous fragmented images, the most common sight was groups of ragged, staggering figures. The much clearer images than before allowed Chen Mo to recognize them at a glance—living dead, or rather, zombies! Cities, suburbs, roads, houses, almost everywhere could be seen their figures, as if the entire world had been completely occupied by them.

Having an immortal body and perfect blood, Chen Mo was not afraid of the zombie virus, but he did not know the level of technological development in this world or the time he had traveled to.

Chen Mo had watched quite a few zombie movies. If it were the "Resident Evil" series, then the T-virus and Umbrella Corporation's technology would have some value. However, if it were like "I Am Legend," where he would find a world completely overrun by zombies after traveling back in time, then this time travel would be meaningless.

Others like "World War Z" and "Train to Busan" have even less value for time travel.

Every time Chen Mo travels through time, it is very precious to him. Through the images he receives, Chen Mo cannot temporarily determine which movie world this is, but obviously, he wouldn't choose to be here unless absolutely necessary.

Retracting his consciousness, Chen Mo directed it towards the remaining light sphere.

As soon as his consciousness made contact with the sphere of light, Chen Mo felt a strange sensation that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar coming from the sphere. As images flooded into his mind, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Mo's lips.

Because he saw a cool figure flying in the sky, a blend of gold and red.

"Iron Man!"

That special Iron Man suit revealed everything to Chen Mo. Clearly, this orb was connected to the Iron Man universe. As for which specific film it was, Chen Mo wasn't sure for now, but there was no doubt that the Iron Man suit was very useful to Chen Mo at this moment.

With it, Chen Mo now has the ability to leave the deserted island at any time; after all, he can't stay on this deserted island forever.

Even if rescue arrives, he can only hide, as it is impossible for him to leave with them, because that would inevitably expose his identity. Moreover, other means of transportation that could help him leave the deserted island and reach the mainland are not within the capacity of his current space.

And waiting for his space to expand to a sufficient size, or for him to acquire other more advanced means of transportation, he still didn't know how long it would take.

With this set of iron armor, it's a different story. Not to mention the combat power and defense of the armor, its flying capability alone is already comparable to the formidable F22 Raptor fighter jet, with a flight speed exceeding Mach 2. Wearing it, Chen Mo can go anywhere he wants.

Chen Mo was not only happy to obtain the powerful and advanced iron suit, but more importantly, the sense of familiarity that arose the moment he came into contact with the light sphere.

Although he didn't receive any more information from the images in his mind, Chen Mo felt that this world was very likely the first world he had traveled to. It was a continuation of the "Captain America" world, a "Iron Man" world that had been altered through his intervention, rather than the original movie world.

The latest news is that the new book will be released on June 9th!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that strange, familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

Of course, these are just Chen Mo's speculations. To find out the truth, he still needs to enter this world and verify it himself.

However, since this is Iron Man's world, Chen Mo's current outfit is somewhat inappropriate.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the space, Chen Mo removed the armored mask from his head, took off the holster with the pistol strapped to his thigh, and stored the King's Sword and Vibranium Shield into the space along with them.

In this way, Chen Mo looked like just a tall young man in a black combat uniform, and even if he appeared in the city, he wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

Although the previous two times he traveled through were in deserted places, Chen Mo couldn't guarantee that this time would be any different. It's always better to be cautious.

After finishing the organization, Chen Mo once again immersed his consciousness into the space and eagerly chose to travel through it.

A flash of white light passed by, and Chen Mo's figure disappeared from the open space in front of the tent.

When Chen Mo's figure reappeared, it was in a huge office.

Looking at this familiar place, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

Here, it is exactly the place where he left the world of "Captain America," the commander's office of Hydra's top-secret base in Norway. Everything here hasn't changed much since he left, even the arrangement of items on the desk remains basically the same.

It's just that from the subtle traces, you can tell that many things in the room have been replaced with new ones.

Walking around the large desk, Chen Mo sat down on the chair that was exactly the same as before.

"It's not the same as before, but it's more comfortable now."

Chen Mo sat in the chair, carefully scrutinizing the familiar office, and couldn't help but feel as if he were in a different world.

He opened a drawer and took out the document that was on top.

Although the paper had already yellowed, the writing on it was still clear. After glancing at it, Chen Mo put it back.

He can already be sure that this is his previous office. He put this document in the drawer after reading it, and he still remembers the content of the document. There is no mistake at all.

And judging by the degree of yellowing of the paper, a long time must have passed.

It seems his guess was correct; this world with Iron Man was developed from the original Captain America world. It is no longer the original Iron Man movie world, but it's unclear how much it has changed compared to the movies.

Temporarily setting aside his doubts, Chen Mo looked up at the desk. On the left side of the desk was a call box, with each button corresponding to the heads of different Hydra departments.

And now the indicator light on the pager is lit, indicating that it can be used normally.

Without much hesitation, Chen Mo directly reached out and pressed the leftmost call button.

The label under the button has a name printed on it.

"Eddie."
