Chapter 33: Comrades-in-arms Reunited
Today is a day to remember, especially for Rosie, who was elected as the new president of the Republic of Fiji in a landslide in the presidential election.
Rosie's first act as president was the signing of the Mutant Protection Act, which legally guaranteed mutants in the Republic of Fiji to live under the same blue sky as ordinary people.
Although Fiji is a small country, with the help of Luo Fei over the years, the living standards of the residents are not low, and the environment here is unique, and it is easy to develop into a tourist destination.
Therefore, Fiji's presidential election still has a place in the international news, so that the "Mutant Protection Act" signed by Rosie at the inauguration ceremony has become open to the world.
In modern society, most of the people have only heard rumors about the problem of mutants, and the government intends to conceal them, so the existence of mutants is only regarded as gossip.
Now, as soon as Fiji's "Mutant Protection Act" came out, people immediately knew that the existence of mutants was real, and for a while, mutants instantly became a national topic.
People have all kinds of opinions about mutants, some are curious, some are afraid, some are sympathetic, and of course some are discriminatory, but either one they know that mutants exist are real.
The "Mutant Protection Act" was introduced by Luo Fei after careful consideration and after listening to the ideas of many sociologists and mutants.
This bill covers all aspects that mutants may encounter, and a large part of it is unlikely to happen in Fiji, but there are provisions, which Luo Fei hopes that governments can use the "Mutant Protection Act" as a model to introduce corresponding laws in their own countries, so that mutants around the world can live in peace with ordinary people.
No matter what happens in the future, as far as the current situation is concerned, after the introduction of this bill, many mutants have come to Fiji to settle, and those mutants who are discriminated against in their own countries have regarded Fiji as an ark of mutants, and have chosen to immigrate to Fiji when conditions permit.
Just when Luo Fei was about to give Rosie more help so that she could smoothly implement the Mutant Protection Act, he received a message from S.H.I.E.L.D., and Coulson claimed that he had something important to say to Luo Fei.
Since Luo Fei was not familiar with the location of S.H.I.E.L.D., he would teleport to the Stark Mansion this time, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. would send someone to pick him up.
When he teleported to the top floor of the Stark Tower, he realized that Agent Coulson was already waiting there, and when he saw Luo Fei appear, he made an inviting gesture and led the way.
After getting into the S.H.I.E.L.D. car, Luo Fei couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is the important matter, I can't say it on the phone, I'm very busy now." ”
Coulson turned his head and replied, "It's definitely more important to you than what you're doing right now, and I can guarantee that you won't regret it when you get there." ”
Listening to Coulson's mysterious words, Luo Fei couldn't help but look at his inner thoughts, but in the end he couldn't help it, as a cultivator, it was not a good thing to casually enter the minds of others.
"I hope you're right."
The car finally stopped in a base-style place, and Luo Fei followed behind Coulson, observing the surroundings along the way, it looked like a training ground, surrounded by sports equipment, and it seemed that this was one of the bases for the daily training of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"It's here, the important thing is inside."
Coulson led Luo Fei to a front door and pointed inside.
"You're not going to come in with me?"
"No, you'll be able to understand everything by going in yourself."
Regarding Coulson's pretense of mystery, Luo Fei was also a little curious about the situation inside, he had endured not peeking into Coulson's heart before, and now he had to know the answer.
After opening the front door, Luo Fei walked in, it didn't look much different from other places, all the training facilities were complete, but Luo Fei had only heard one person playing a sandbag so far, Luo Fei could be sure that there was no one else here except him and Luo Fei.
"Looks like this sandbag guy is what Coulson said is a very important thing."
Luo Fei slowly walked towards the person who was punching the sandbag, and when he saw the person's appearance clearly, he was stunned, although he didn't see the front, but the breath on his body, Luo Fei would never forget.
"I didn't expect you to come out, time flies so fast"
Luo Fei sighed in his heart, but his eyes kept staring at that person, and Luo Fei didn't know how to talk to him now.
Maybe it was because he had been staring at Luo Fei for a long time, and the person also noticed something different, and after he turned around and saw Luo Fei's appearance, he showed an incredible expression on his face.
"Luo?! I'm not dreaming, am I? ”
"You're not dreaming, Steve, welcome back!"
Steve ran directly over and gave Luo Fei a big hug, "It's unbelievable, I woke up and found that most of my comrades had passed away, only Petty was lying on the hospital bed with an old face, I didn't expect to see you again" Steve said with red circles in his eyes: "I mean, it's great to see you safe and sound!" ”
Luo Fei patted Steve's shoulder: "I understand your feelings, in fact, I felt very uncomfortable after seeing my comrades-in-arms grow old one by one over the years, so he didn't even go to see them off when they died." ”
Luo Fei paused for a moment: "You have also seen it, I am still like this, if I see an old acquaintance, it will not be good after all." ”
Steve nodded, "I see what you mean. ”
"But it's okay now", Luo Fei put his arm around Steve's shoulder: "With you as a comrade-in-arms, I don't need to hide anymore." ”
"Luo, what are you doing now, still serving in the army?"
"No, after the victory in Europe, I left the army, and although I had the rank of lieutenant general, I did not go to the battlefield again. After the victory of the anti-fascist war, there was a civil war in China, and I did not want to get involved. After that, I used the money I had to invest in a few companies, and now I have a good life. Steve: Have you ever wondered what you're going to do next? ”
"I find that I still have a lot to learn now, and now the first thing I have to do is keep up with the times."
"Then how did you get involved with someone from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"It was they who found my frozen spot and rescued me. Listening to your tone, it doesn't seem like a favorite of S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”
"It's not that I don't like it, it's disgust! Especially when it comes to how they deal with certain things. The organization now wields too much power, and there's a lot of darkness growing in it, and I've noticed the shadow of Hydra in it. ”
"You're talking about Hydra? Red Skull's Hydra? Steve was a little incredulous: "Didn't the Allies completely eliminate Hydra?" ”
"The situation here is very complicated, there is a need for development, and there is also the impact of the international situation, so Hydra took this opportunity to slowly recover, and I don't know what kind of scale Hydra has become now. I can't look it up! ”
Steve was silent for a moment: "I will continue to fight, and I will always fight against it until the darkness ends." ”
Luo Fei and Steve sat silently on the ground, neither of them spoke, until Fury's appearance: "The two of you have finished renewing the old one, how does it feel to meet old friends?" ”
Luo Fei said angrily: "If you don't show up, it's best, what's the matter with me?" I guess you didn't just call me over to catch up with Steve, right? ”
"There's something I want to ask you."
"Say it."
"First of all, Dr. Banner, my people found out that he was going out alone, and it was a crowded place, I wanted to ask, his problem solved?"
"You can rest assured at this point, unless it is a death threat, he will not transform, and even if he transforms, he can now distinguish friend from foe, and he will not make a move on ordinary people."
"Well, since you've made a promise, but I still hope he'll be in our surveillance range"
"As long as you don't appear in his field of vision, don't peep into his privacy, you are free to do the rest. Remember, don't make him angry, or you should know the consequences. ”
"That's what happened to Dr. Banner. Let's talk about aliens, Thor, what do you think, do you think he will be a threat to Earth? ”
"What is the threat, except for a Jane on the earth, what else is he cherishes, and he will not covet the resources on the earth, and he does not need to rule the earth, what threat can he have. He's the god of thunder and the future king of Asgard, so we don't have to be hostile to him, but we can also consider him an ally, and I think that's the best thing for the planet. ”
"One last question, mutants"
"The problem of mutants, you can talk to my daughter, I don't care about mutants now in order to avoid suspicion, and now I don't care about other things except for giving them some support for life, so don't look for me about mutants."
"But the implementation of the Mutant Protection Act has touched mutants around the world, and now there is a lot of trouble, we don't have enough manpower, and mutants have some supernatural powers, and we need support from mutants."
"Okay, I'll inform my daughter that there's Professor X and the White Queen, and if there's a problem, you can negotiate with them yourself, I don't think they will see anything wrong with mutants, there's only so much I can do."
"Thank you for your help, I still have something to deal with, let's go first."
Looking at Fury's departing figure, Steve said with some curiosity: "It seems that you have not just been doing business as you just said over the years. ”
