Chapter 514: A Tornado Strikes

"The wind is blowing?"

Feeling a sudden cool breeze blowing, the soldier on duty who was originally chatting with the black soldier couldn't help but pause slightly, and didn't care much about turning his head to glance at the wilderness and no man's land outside the outpost, but immediately stopped his neck and stared wide, with a look of shock.

“OhMyGod!”

"What's the matter, Jerry, you think this trick can fool ......"

Seeing the frightened expressions on the faces of his comrades opposite, the black soldiers at first thought that this was another boring prank.

After all, the Canadian border where they are stationed at the moment is a complete plain wilderness, and not a single ghost is usually seen, let alone dangerous.

In fact, in the minds of the black soldiers, the greatest danger in the vicinity right now was that of the American Army.

However, in the usual situation, after learning that his prank was exposed, Jerry always refused to accept it.

However, today he uncharacteristically continued to maintain his motionless expression.

"I said, Jerry, what's wrong with you today, you can do so much work on such a simple trick of deception."

Despite this, the black soldier finally couldn't help but look in the direction Jerry was looking with a half-believing expression.

At most, it's just a one-time job.

Thinking so in his heart, the soldier looked at the plain not far away, but the expression on his face immediately became shocked by Jerry on the other side.

I saw that at the end of the endless no-man's land, as far as the two could see, a large thick dark cloud seemed to cover the wilderness, as if the dark silence shrouded the field under the dark clouds, which formed a sharp contrast with the sunshine of the camp post where they were located, and at the same time brought an indescribable sense of shock.

The shock caused by the dark clouds is indescribable, but the cool breeze that constantly blows around them brings back the soldiers who were shocked at first.

Feeling the wind blowing stronger and stronger, even the improvised outpost they were standing on was faintly blown again, the soldier looked up at the dark clouds in the distance.

Just by turning his head, the clouds that were still on the horizon before were pressed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large area of clouds began to spiral to form an obvious funnel-shape.

"Tornado, it's a tornado!"

Such a stark change obviously alarmed the soldiers on duty at the outpost, and the black soldiers came back to their senses and shouted in panic.

And on the other side, the soldier Jerry reacted slightly better, he pulled down the alarm while shouting: "The tornado is coming!" ”

The shouts from the outpost and the shrill sirens soon provoked a reaction in the camp.

"What's going on?"

In the headquarters, General Ross was analyzing the intelligence of the crash of the F-22 Raptor fighter with several army commanders, and the sudden sound of the alarm made him involuntarily stop his back, as a general, he naturally knew the meaning of the alarm for the troops.

"Report sir, it's a tornado, and there's a tornado coming in the direction of the camp!"

Hearing General Ross's questioning, the soldier made a report with a panicked face.

"Tornado?!"

Faced with the report given by the soldiers, General Ross couldn't help but show a sense of astonishment on his face.

How could there be a tornado in Canada this season now?

……

"Vision!"

In the camp, because of the tornado, the whole camp fell into chaos.

Although American soldiers can be regarded as brave and good at fighting, it does not mean that they can maintain a strong fighting force in the face of natural disasters.

Coming out of a remote barracks in the camp, Steve looked at the tornado that was gradually forming not far away, the expression on his face was also very solemn, and he had a more terrifying guess about this sudden tornado than the American soldiers in the camp who did not know it.

At Steve's command, a red-skinned man standing behind him floated up, and the yellow gem on his forehead burst out with a yellowish sheen.

Blessed by the power of the Mind Gem, the vast psychic ability allowed Vision's spiritual power to penetrate the heavy clouds of the tornado and lock onto a vague figure at the center of the storm.

"Captain......

Reining in the power of the Mind Gem on his forehead, while controlling his floating body to fall again, Vision looked at the tornado not far away that was approaching the location of the camp at an extremely fast speed, and opened his mouth to inform the surrounding Avengers of the results he saw: "The person who created the tornado is the deputy leader of the third mobile team of the SCP Foundation - [Dominic Butch]. ”

"Looks like Tony has failed."

Hearing the answer given by Vision, the expression on Steve's face couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Originally, Steve was expecting that through the efforts of the Avengers, the SCP Foundation and the U.S. military would be able to avoid conflict between the two potentially warring parties. However, it turned out that neither Tony nor himself succeeded.

Eventually, the SCP Foundation and the U.S. military ended up in the last thing the Avengers wanted to see.

Moreover, this conflict still started with the initiative of [Dominic Butch].

Suppressing the frustration in his heart, Steve turned his head to look at the soldiers in the camp, who had begun to prepare in an orderly manner under the command of General Ross to deal with the sudden tornado attack.

If, in the face of a tornado under normal circumstances, the troops would have suffered losses by doing so, but at least they would have been able to minimize the losses.

However, the Avengers, including Steve, are in a very good situation, and what the American army is facing is not a natural disaster in the ordinary sense.

Rather, it is a man-made controllable tornado.

The damage that can be caused between a controlled tornado and a naturally occurring tornado is obviously two completely different orders of magnitude.

Holding the shield in his hand, Steve withdrew his gaze from the soldiers around him to look at the approaching tornado, and said with difficulty: "We must stop the tornado from destroying the camp, if this tornado is allowed to rage, I am afraid that the entire American army will suffer a devastating blow and destruction." ”

Although he did not have a good relationship with the commander of the army, General Ross, he did not have any ill feelings towards Steve, a soldier from the United States.

Especially as Captain America, a legendary figure who came out of the American Army, Steve has a lot of popularity in the entire American Army, and many people choose to join the army to become professional soldiers because of his relationship.

"Captain, you mean we're going to go straight to Tornado?"

Reaching out to help the glasses on his face, Banner looked up at the huge tornado cloud in front of him, even with the Hulk's power as insurance, he could not resist the huge tornado.

After all, this is a natural disaster.

"No, we're not dealing with a tornado in front of us."

His eyes were fixed on the tornado that was getting closer and closer in front of him, the howling wind stirred up the dark clouds and made the whole ground shake with it, and a large amount of dust and gravel in the wilderness was swept up by the wind, and the wind swept over the avengers in the camp, making them subconsciously squint their eyes.

Although Steve couldn't see Dominic Butch in the tornado as clearly as Vision, his acumen as a warrior allowed him to feel a calm gaze watching them through the tornado.

"Vision, can you help me talk to Dominic Butch in the tornado?"

Feeling this gaze, Steve's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but turn his head to the vision on the side and asked.

"I can give it a try."

Hearing Steve's request, Vision's red face was visibly surprised, but he quickly reacted.

I saw him close his eyes tightly, and the soul gem on his forehead flashed a pale yellow light again.

"Huh?"

At the same time, in the antique shop, Li Ran once again felt a spiritual power floating in his heart.

Fortunately, he had already experienced the power of the Mind Gem, and the power used by the Mind Gem this time was not as large as that used by Wanda before, so he didn't panic too much, and mobilized the card power in his hand to quickly expel this power.

"Who are you?"

In the antique shop, Li Ran's movements seemed to provoke the natural reaction of the mind gem on Vision's forehead, and the original pale yellow light began to gradually become heavier, and this change in the gem naturally attracted Vision's attention, but before he could understand the strangeness of the gem, the calm questioning voice that sounded in his mind drew his attention back.

As the attention of the illusion shifted, the gem that had been shining on the forehead also regained its previous pale yellow glow.

The appearance of this voice means that Vision has successfully connected to [Dominic Butch] in the tornado.

"I'm Vision, a member of the Avengers."

"Avengers?"

Hearing Vision's answer, the voice in the back of his head groaned slightly, and then spoke again: "Tell me your purpose, Avenger?" ”

Facing [Dominic Butch]'s questioning, Vision raised his finger and touched Steve's forehead on the side, and the next moment Captain America felt his brain shake, as if some wonderful power poured in, and at the same time, [Dominic Butch]'s voice also appeared in his mind.

Steve's emotions fluctuate as he demonstrated his abilities, but he knew that this was not the right time to explore his abilities.

In the camp, Steve took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and said in his mind, "I hope you can stop the tornado against the American army, [Dominic Butch]. ”

"The United States' approach has touched on the containment mission of the SCP Foundation, and I cannot let the actions of the American army affect the containment of the [Holy Lord]."

In response to Steve's request, Dominic Butch replied in a tone without any ups and downs.

"I know, but if a tornado enters the camp, it will cause a lot of casualties among American soldiers, who are innocent and they don't even know about it."

"You should be clear, Captain America, if the containment of the [Holy Lord] fails, the damage caused will not be a simple loss of an army."

"I know."

[Dominic Butch]'s words made Steve's expression silent slightly.

"But I can't just watch these soldiers die in a tornado, maybe there's a better way to deal with it than this."

"You know, Captain America, in the containment mission of the SCP Foundation, the biggest enemy is often not the strange and unpredictable anomalies that we need to contain, but the humans we protect around us and even behind us, human ignorance often makes the containment process out of control, so in order for everything to run smoothly, the Foundation must make a trade-off, we are protecting all of humanity, not just the United States."

"This move by the United States has created a serious threat to the SCP Foundation's upcoming containment efforts, and as the deputy leader of the SCP Foundation's Third Mobile Team, I must be prepared to deal with it in advance."

The preparation for the response in the mouth of [Dominic Butch] naturally refers to what he is doing in front of him, using the tornado to destroy the entire American force.

"No, no......"

[Dominic Butch]'s choice naturally attracted strong opposition from Steve.

"This is not a simple matter of trade-offs, this is a living life, and they should not be sacrificed for the containment of the [Holy Lord]!"

"What do you think containment is, Captain America, behind every anomalous object the Foundation contains, there is a lesson in blood, and we have worked to contain these anomalies and contain them, protecting the world without the outside world knowing. At a time when the world is changing rapidly, and containment is becoming more and more dangerous, every member of the Foundation is ready to sacrifice, and we are not afraid to sacrifice ourselves, but we are also prepared to sacrifice some of humanity to protect many people. ”

With [Dominic Butch]'s final declaration, the gem light on Vision's forehead dimmed, and Vision, who had closed his eyes tightly, slowly opened his eyes, shook his head gently at Steve in front of him, and withdrew his finger on his forehead.

"Captain, I can't get into the other party's heart, obviously he doesn't want to say it anymore."

"How's it going, Steve?"

Because the whole conversation has been through the relationship between vision, the surrounding Avengers don't know what Steve and [Dominic Butch] are talking about, but looking at the expression on Steve's face in front of her, Natasha has some guesses.

"The SCP Foundation is ready to sacrifice the entire American Army in exchange for the safe containment of the [Holy Lord]."

In response to Natasha's inquiry, Steve glanced down at the shield in his hand and replied in a visibly low tone.
