[Then, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was holding Zhuge Cong down with both hands, immediately activated the Gatling gun behind him and opened fire on Zhuge Cong.]
At this near-face-to-face distance, Zhuge Cong certainly didn't want to be hit by a Gatling gun.
Zhuge Cong immediately reached out and grabbed the muzzle of the Gatling gun, moving it to the side.
The Gatling gun fire splashed across the water's surface, making the already shallow and narrow stream seem as if it might stop flowing at any moment after being sprayed with bullets.
"Cong, I still can't control my battle suit."
[Hachiman Hikigaya, watching Zhuge Cong pinned down by his own weight, tried to control his battle suit, but no matter what he tried, it was all in vain.]
[Zhuge Cong also controlled the armor to transfer energy to the arm of the armor, and then squeezed it hard. The Gatling gun of Hachiman Hikigaya's War Machine armor was crushed and went into flames.]
Meanwhile, inside the laboratory, Vermouth successfully restarted Hachiman Hikigaya's battle machine armor. After sensing the pressure on him lessen, Zhuge Cong kicked Hachiman Hikigaya away.
"Alright, your best buddy's back."
A video call connected to Zhuge Cong's battle armor also appeared on the computer screen in front of Vermouth.
"Thank you, Agent Vermouth."
"The new power supply on your armor's chest is quite well done. I see a significant increase in output, and your vital signs also look much better than when you were sickly a while ago."
[On the computer screen in front of Vermouth, besides the model of Hachiman Hikigaya's War Machine armor, there was also a model of the armor Zhuge Cong was currently wearing.]
"Of course, so I won't die now, thank you."

"You won't die. Has your problem been successfully solved?"
At that moment, another window opened, and the person at the top was none other than Shiho Miyano, who was backstage at the Zhuge Exhibition.
[As soon as Shiho Miyano entered, she heard Zhuge Cong's words and immediately asked anxiously.]
"Yes, I won't die. The palladium poisoning in my chest has been successfully resolved. Of course, you're still the company's executive director. I find it much more enjoyable not to go to work or the company."
[After reporting his safety to Shiho Miyano, Zhuge Cong said...]
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner? You made me worry for so long."
"I was trying to surprise you, but I didn't expect Akizuki Kozo to ruin it all."
"Alright, alright, you two, this isn't the time for your lovey-dovey displays. Enemies are coming, Zhuge Cong."
[Vermouth looked at Zhuge Cong and Shiho Miyano and said.]
"Wait, you're Vermouth? I remember after the brewery was purged, weren't all the people there executed or imprisoned for life? What are you doing here?"
[Shiho Miyano, having just entered and heard Zhuge Cong say he was no longer dead, subconsciously ignored Vermouth. Now, hearing Vermouth's words, she has come to her senses.]
"How I ended up here isn't important. The most important thing now is to deal with that drone force and find the missing Akizuki Kozo."
Vermouth glanced at Shiho Miyano's somewhat surprised expression, smiled slightly, and said...
"Now all the drones are heading your way."
"Okay, I got it. Bye."
After Vermouth offered a reminder, Zhuge Cong quickly logged off.
[Shiho Miyano watched Zhuge Cong log off, then gave Vermouth a deep look before logging off as well, ending the video chat.]
[Shiho Miyano plans to wait until this commotion subsides before asking Zhuge Cong about Vermouth, since Zhuge Cong seems to already know about her.]
"What else could it be? It's because Vermouth betrayed the organization and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. that she wasn't executed."
Gin grew angrier and angrier as he looked at Vermouth in the light screen, wishing he could stick his pistol into the screen and shoot her a few times to vent his anger.
Should I join S.H.I.E.L.D. now?
At this point, Vermouth knew that Gin probably wouldn't let her go and would surely execute her as a traitor and spy.
So Vermouth was thinking about whether she should apply to join S.H.I.E.L.D. right now.
But the question is how the person in the light screen joined S.H.I.E.L.D. Did they really defect and join S.H.I.E.L.D., or is there another reason?
Another issue is that he can't find S.H.I.E.L.D., and he doesn't even know if S.H.I.E.L.D. is still in existence. It would be interesting if S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't contact him, but Hydra came looking for him first.
"Clang, clang, clang."
"Hachiman, Hachiman, wake up, buddy! It's going to rain, I need you to bring in the laundry."
[Zhuge Cong walked to Hachiman Hikigaya, who was lying in the stream, and pointed at Hachiman's battle armor, the War Machine, with his finger, saying...]
"Knock knock knock."
"They're here! Hurry, get up!"
[When Zhuge Cong looked up and saw the several balls of fire gradually closing in on the sky, he changed his gentle pointing gesture to a knocking motion, more like knocking on a door.]
"I think you can have this suit back."

[Hachiman Hikigaya, lying in the stream, opened his mask and looked at Zhuge Cong, saying...]
"It's no longer necessary; it has already taken your shape."
[Zhuge Cong also removed his mask and reached out to help Hachiman Hikigaya up, saying...]
"Um, Cong, I'm sorry, I..."
"Hey, no need to apologize. If you really want to apologize, just help me deal with the trouble later."
[Hachiman Hikigaya was about to apologize or say something when Zhuge cut him off.]
"No, it was me. I should have trusted you more, but..."
"Alright, alright, I said you don't need to apologize. Besides, it's my fault that you're in this situation."
[Hachiman Hikigaya, despite Zhuge Cong's attempts to stop him, still managed to speak out.]
"That's definitely your fault, but I want to say sorry."
[Hachiman Hikigaya's words made Zhuge Cong a little uncomfortable. Who would truly blame him? However, this also showed their good relationship; otherwise, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't have said that.]
"So do you have any plans? That drone force is coming soon."
[Zhuge Cong spoke to Hikigaya Hachiman.]
"Did you call your Iron Alliance?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya asked, "After all, with the help of Zhuge Cong's Iron Alliance, four or five Iron Man suits shouldn't be a problem dealing with that drone force."]
"We called them, but it will take them a little while to get here, so it's just the two of us."
After inquiring about where Jarvis and the other two had gone, Zhuge Cong relayed what he had learned to Hachiman Hikigaya.
"Alright, since it's just the two of us, let's take over that high ground and position our most powerful weapons on the ridge of the artificial hill."
【"OK."】
"Where do you want to go?"
"Where do you want to stand?"
[Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Zhuge Cong and said in unison, then both of them looked at each other with some surprise.]
"I mean me."

"You have heavy weapons."
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong spoke at the same time, then Zhuge Cong spoke first.]
"But you're not a heavy weapon."
"I understand, you don't need to be jealous of Cong."
"I'm not jealous of you at all, wearing so many fancy things on you."
After hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Zhuge Cong quickly scanned Hachiman's entire body, then deliberately showed a look of disgust and spoke in a disdainful tone.
"Yes, yes, all those flashy things aren't as understated as you."
[Hachiman Hikigaya muttered to himself, after all, Zhuge Cong had absolutely nothing to do with the name Didi.]
"And this isn't just flashy; this is ruthless. People can tell at a glance that I'm not someone to mess with."
"Alright, alright, you're a tough one. Now you stand up there, and I'll go lure that drone unit over."
"Don't stand here, this is the worst spot, this place is called the Death Ground."
[Hachiman Hikigaya had only taken a few steps when he turned back to Zhuge Cong and said.]
"Okay, then I'll stand there?"
[Before Zhuge Cong could change locations and Hikigaya Hachiman could stand on the high ground, they heard several familiar sounds—the sound of metal hitting the ground.]
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong looked in the direction of the sound and saw drones descending from the sky, gradually surrounding them.]
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong didn't say much, they simply lowered their masks and stood back-to-back, looking at the drone force in front of them.]
"Very good, we've already won."
Doma Umaru looked at Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong fighting back to back and said something that Ebina Nana, who was standing next to him, did not understand.
