Chapter 636: Killing Gods
The voice was not loud, but it was difficult to hide his shock, and with the ghost-like expression, even if Rogers woke up to find that he had come seventy years later, he would not have such a gaffe.
How is that possible?
He watched Bucky fall into the abyss, and even if Bucky survived, seventy years have passed, and the beautiful and gentle Carter has changed from a girl to a gray-haired and sickly old woman. But this familiar face, which looks like he is only twenty or thirty years old, is as youthful as him.
Rogers was stunned by the impact of an atomic bomb explosion, but the Winter Soldier still maintained the Winter Soldier's mindset, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his head and body, and with a wave of his hand, he punched Rogers.
But the phrase 'Bucky' echoed in his mind, making the Winter Soldier look at Rogers, who was rolling around on the ground and half-kneeling, and involuntarily asked, "Who is Bucky?" β
This familiar voice made Rogers shake all over, his breathing was disordered, he slowly stood up, looked at the Winter Soldier standing with a shield with incredible eyes, raised his hand, took off his helmet, revealed his face, shocked and happy, and said, "Bucky? It's me, Steve. β
"Steve? Steve? The Winter Soldier kept repeating the name, as if he was recalling something, but with the expressionless look on his face and the blood flowing down his stream, it really looked like a real dissonance.
But this made Rogers ecstatic, and in just a few words he was sure that this was definitely Bucky, he had nothing at all, and the only best friend Bucky who didn't leave him, but why hasn't Bucky changed much in the past seventy years, and he still doesn't know him?
A series of questions appeared in Rogers' mind, calming his brain, which was occupied by ecstasy, and began to think about why Bucky had become a murderous Winter Soldier, behind this...
Just as he was thinking about it, Rogers' ears moved, he heard the sound of helicopter propellers, looked up in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a gunship flying in this direction.
While Bucky was still mechanically chanting the name Steve, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind: the train was hurtling in the snow, his hand was clutching the broken railing, and a man in blue was reaching out to him, but he fell down, and there was only a smaller and smaller cry in his ear: "No, Bucky..."
A deep voice came from the miniature headset hidden in his right ear: "Sleep! β
Bucky still stood still, staring at Steve, who was looking up at the sky, the face in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory, did they know each other before? But who is Bucky?
βsleepοΌβ The voice in the headset raised an octave, so that Bucky finally 'heard' the command, closed his eyes, and collapsed as if the power had been cut off.
This sound made Rogers turn around, and what he saw was Bucky lying on the ground, which made Rogerston anxious, and hurriedly crouched down and shouted the name of 'Bucky', but Bucky did not react, only the blood on his forehead changed the direction of flow because of Bucky's fall.
The sound of the helicopter propeller was getting closer, and Rogers looked at Bucky who had passed out, then looked up at the helicopter scanning the ground with a dazzling column of searchlight, and only hesitated for a second before making a decision. Ten seconds later, Rogers jumped off the fence on the other side of the factory with a vibranium shield, strode along the road, and made it look like he was still tracking the killer, and before he ran a few steps, he was spotted by a low-flying helicopter.
The beam of the searchlight swept past Rogers, shining in front of him, and the direction of his flight changed, flying in the direction that Rogers was running.
Seeing this, Rogers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, slowed down the pace of running, and let the two cars behind catch up, the first continued to run, while the second stopped, and several soldiers jumped down from it and greeted very respectfully: "Captain! β
"The headset is out of water," Rogers said, pulling the headset out of his right ear, looking at the dark road ahead, "I chased it here, and I lost it." β
Then Rogers excused himself to change out of his soaked clothes, sat in the back row, and then took off the conspicuous Captain America uniform on his body, but Yu Guang was looking at the soldiers in front of him, and hesitated for seven or eight seconds before he found a mobile phone that was not sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. and sent a text message to a person who had absolutely nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Sorry to bother you so late, I need help, but it may be dangerous." β
Within four seconds of the text message, I received a reply: "I am more than happy to work for the American team, no matter what." β
Rogers, who was still wearing wet clothes, felt warm in his heart, and quickly typed: "Help me pick up someone, it's best to find a place where no one is to place him, don't go near him, thank you very much!" Then he sent a spot, immediately put the phone away, put on his regular clothes, put the soaked Captain America costume into the bag, and sat down.
The helicopter was the head, the two cars were pressed, and they searched all the way forward for thousands of meters, but found nothing, until dawn in the east, when they had to collect their troops and return to the camp, Rogers excused himself to go home to rest and wash clothes, and got off the car halfway, did not return to the Trident headquarters, and returned to his home.
Until noon, he rode out on a motorcycle as usual, and continued to play the game of 'you chase me' with those agents, but this time he really wanted to get rid of the surveillance, and he abandoned the motorcycle halfway, went to the store to buy a pair of clothes, hats, sunglasses to change into, and rented a motorcycle, and then drove all the way to the suburbs.
The motorcycle drove all the way into an abandoned steel mill, which covers an extremely large area, with countless factories, long pipes and towering steelmaking furnaces, you can imagine how hot it was before it was abandoned.
Today, this steel mill built in the last century is full of abandoned factories, rusty pipes and steel furnaces that are beginning to collapse, and even Rogers can see several large holes in the walls of several buildings, and the surrounding ground and pipes are also a ruined mess, as if Hulk had rolled here.
Following the text message, Rogers stepped into a waist-deep weeds into a four-story reinforced concrete building with almost no intact glass windows, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Sam Wilson, a running friend he knew from running, sleeping on a broken couch.
At this moment, Sam Wilson suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the sofa, quickly took out a pistol from under the pillow with his right hand, and aimed at the door, the whole set of movements in one go, the index finger was on the trigger, and then he saw that it was Rogers who came in.
'Whew! Sam Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed, and he hurriedly put away his pistol and said, "I'm sorry, Captain, I..."
"You forgot to turn on the insurance."
Sam Wilson inserted the pistol back into his waist with no safety open, and said with a complicated expression: "Today is the first time I have loaded the magazine since I retired. β
"I understand." Rogers patted Sam Wilson on the shoulder with relief, just came down from the battlefield of life and death, many soldiers will suffer from post-war syndrome, it is good to sleep with a gun, at least there is no need to dig trenches in the yard.
"He's up there, still asleep." Sam Wilson then remembered the purpose of Rogers' visit, and hurriedly led the way in front, introducing as he walked: "This factory was shut down eight years ago, and the steel from the East is cheaper than potatoes, and no one wants to take over, so it is idle."
In February of the previous year, there were troops and helicopters who came here to perform urban street battles, and there were explosions and gunshots, but they came here once, and it is estimated that they are disgusted with the poor environment here, and they should really be sent to the Middle East, and they will definitely like it when they come back. β
Amid Sam Wilson's chattering voice, the two of them quickly climbed up the dilapidated staircase to the point where the railings swayed, to the fourth floor, and entered a spacious room that looked like a conference room, dressed in the costume that was easy to hide from the darkness, and lay motionless on a plastic sheet with their eyes closed, and a gauze on the wound on their foreheads.
Sam Wilson said, "I did a brief check-up, and he should be asleep and his wounds have been done. β
"Thank you!"
Sam Wilson pursed his lips, looked at the sleeping Bucky, and then looked at Rogers beside him, hesitated for a long time before he couldn't help but speak: "Captain, he... Be... Well, I'm just.... I think it's a little... Resemble... Sorry, it's fine. β
In a word, he didn't say it for a long time, and finally stopped saying it at all, so as not to mention Rogers' sadness.
"It's okay, yes, he's supposed to be Bucky, my best friend."
"Oh God." Sam Wilson looked up to the sky, but he was not religious, but at this moment he said the name of a person that his friends often called before his death, a little bit of a feeling that the world is crazy, an old antique from World War II is enough to surprise the world, and now there is a second one, there will not be a day, put together a roaring commando.
In fact, last night, when he took this person away according to Captain America's instructions, he felt that the other party was very familiar, and he was quite surprised that the other party's left arm was wrapped in a metal shell, and he drove the car, and when he passed by the World War II memorial, he suddenly remembered that the person lying in the back seat was very similar to a soldier in the roaring commando.
When carrying this strong man upstairs, he also deliberately observed the other party's face carefully, and searched the Roaring Commando with his mobile phone, and compared it, it was exactly the same as Sergeant Bucky Barnes, the only sacrifice of the Roaring Commando.
But Sam Wilson couldn't believe it, because seventy years had passed, how could a sacrificed person be in this world?
Even now that Sergeant Bucky Barnes' close comrade-in-arms Rogers has confirmed this speculation, Sam Wilson still has a hard time accepting it, as your parents tell you: Son, we are aliens lurking on Earth.
As long as it is not in the advanced stage of middle and second cancer, you will feel that either the world is crazy, or the whole family is crazy.
Rogers stared at the unconscious Bucky, and continued: "The first time I saw him last night, I knew he was Bucky, my best friend Bucky, and I don't know why he is still alive, obviously..."
Rogers stopped as he spoke, remembering that when he went deep into the enemy camp to find Bucky, Bucky was tied up and lying on an operating table, and when he returned to the Allied camp, he also heard from the soldiers who escaped that in addition to doing hard labor, some strong soldiers were taken away, suspected of human experimentation.
At that time, he was still worried about Bucky, but Bucky didn't show anything unusual behind him, and the establishment of the Roaring Commando Team made him busy with the war, and he didn't have time to take Bucky to the rear hospital for a closer examination, thinking that the war would be over, and the result was gone.
Now that I think about it, could it be that Bucky was used as an experiment by Dr. Zola to inject the serum isolated from the Red Skull? That's how he survived? But who installed the robotic arm for Bucky and turned him into a killer?
Not only is he still in the prime of his youth after 70 years, but he doesn't even seem to know him anymore, and last night he asked 'Who is Bucky?' Obviously, he lost all his memories, could it be that he fell off a cliff and lost his memory in the TV series?
"Robotic arm." Rogers' eyes were staring at Bucky's partially exposed mechanical left arm, if you want to check, it should be easier to find the manufacturer, but you must not let S.H.I.E.L.D. know, then the only person who can ask for help is Tony Stark, so the next question is how to notify Tony Stark.
His relationship with Tony Stark is really not friendly, and the smell of gunpowder is very strong when they first meet, so it is naturally impossible for Tony to leave him a phone number. As for going to the company, you can get in with this face, but Bucky may wake up at any time, and if he goes crazy again, Sam Wilson is definitely not an opponent.
He can't get out of here lest Bucky disappear again, but Sam Wilson can't get into the Avengers Mansion, and Rogerston struggles to figure out who to turn to.
Dr. Banner? I don't know where it is, and I don't have a mobile phone number.
Greel Rusoff? The kid didn't seem to like Stark very well, didn't have a pleasant conversation on the Helicarrier, didn't talk a few times in the next few meetings, and didn't know the address and phone number.
Only then did Rogers find out that he didn't have a good relationship with the current Avengers, let alone have no contact information.
At the time of Rogers' death, Alexander Pierce on the top floor of the Trident headquarters was also criticized by the lawmakers, patting his chest to ensure that he could catch the murderer, but let the murderer swagger away, and the night operation also caused more than a dozen soldiers to be killed and injured, and more than 20 civilians who fled in panic were injured or even killed.
The parliamentarians, who had not caught the killer and whose lives could not be guaranteed, were quite angry, and almost pointed their noses and scolded Alexander Pierce for being a rice bucket and his men being waste.
Alexander Pierce did not speak, until the councillors were tired of scolding, and then he said: "Last night's operation was indeed my mistake, because I chose an unsuitable person to lead the team, which led to the murderer being let go." β
