39. The pursuit was successful
Bucharest, Romania.
This sin city, once a paradise for blood and werewolves, has been gradually cleaned up by the Templar mages and restored order to the surface. The dark creatures are back in custody and are no longer at the top of the food chain.
Bucky, wearing a baseball cap and a gray jacket, pushed open the door and saw Steve, who was wearing a uniform and holding a vibranium shield, and the two looked at each other, and there was a sense of distantness.
The tense muscles of his body relaxed, and if it were someone else, he might have rushed straight up and twisted the other's neck with that metal arm.
"Before you left America, you went to a museum, what did everything there remind you of?"
Steve's eyes showed expectation, and they maintained a tacit distance between them, and no one knew whether the person standing in front of him was Captain America's friend Barnes, or the Winter Soldier.
"Some broken memories. You're Steve Rogers, we knew each other before...... In Brooklyn, you were a skinny little guy and would put newspapers in your shoes......"
Bucky stood still, frowning as if trying to remember something.
Since the last time he was almost killed by Iron Man, the deep memories blocked in his head have filled his entire brain like a flood that has opened the floodgates.
Some intermittent messy images, like a horse's eye, fly through my mind, like a fleeting light, fleeting, and difficult to grasp.
"We would bring milk to the rich and be newsboys to earn tips...... As a child, I spread the couch cushions on the floor and played the game of the king and the guards. You risked breaking the law in order to join the army, going back and forth from the recruiting stations...... Steve, I remember you, those images were racing around in my head. ”
"That's not going to be in a museum." With a happy smile on Steve's face, he looked at the motionless Bucky and said softly, "We need to get out of here, S.H.I.E.L.D. will come to the door soon, and you can't escape their pursuit." ”
"I've done a lot of wrong things...... Although I can't remember clearly, the faces full of fear and blood are very clear. ”
Bucky sighed, Hydra was gone, and he didn't have to go back to being a killing machine, so he wandered aimlessly and made his way to Romania.
With the change of S.H.I.E.L.D., the main power of Hydra collapsed, and General Ross came to power to vigorously crack down on these Na Purists, led by the new commander Zemo. There was no place for the North American continent and Asia, so Bucky went to Romania and lived an incognito life.
Fortunately, there are safe houses left behind by Hydra in various countries in Eastern Europe, with forged identities, passports, a sum of cash, and weapons and equipment. Now that the registration bill is in full swing, and even superheroes are subject to government supervision, life is becoming more and more difficult for a wanted fugitive like himself.
Especially with the implementation of the Insight Project, the entire planet is under the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as long as they want to find a person, even if they are hiding in the Amazon rainforest, they may not be able to escape the detection of satellites.
Bucky knows that he is now the dangerous man who kidnapped Nick Fury and assassinated Alexander Pierce, and has the resounding nickname of "S.H.I.E.L.D. Killer", both directors planted in his hands, and is listed as the most wanted person in the World Security Council.
In fact, Bucky has a vague memory of what he did as a Winter Soldier. Hydra's brainwashing techniques are top-notch, treating him like a machine, setting up programs, issuing instructions, and leaving a backdoor switch to prevent self-consciousness from awakening.
"There's going to be a solution to these things, but we're going to get out of here before Tony arrives...... There is no need to end with a fight. Steve looked at his friend who was caught up in the memories and shouted anxiously.
Before he even found Bucky, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already positioned the area, and the special forces should have surrounded the area to buy time for the superheroes.
According to Sam's estimates, within half an hour at the latest, Iron Man will be killed, and a big war will be inevitable at that time.
"It's always a battle, Steve."
Bucky took off his gloves, revealing his cold metal arm, and he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairway.
Local special forces evacuated the residents of the apartment building, and the door hammer was ready, and a stun grenade was thrown through the window, only to be thrown out with a vibranium shield by Captain America before it could explode.
Four special police officers broke through the window and rushed in, and the locked wooden door was also directly knocked open, and the people and horses outside swarmed in, and for a while the scene in the small apartment was out of control, and the gunshots rang out.
"Bucky ......"
Steve saw his friend like a tiger into a flock of sheep, knocked a group of SWAT officers to the ground, rushed straight out of the hallway, and jumped down.
As an ace killer trained by Hydra, the Winter Soldier is extremely strong in combat, proficient in firearms, explosives, stealth and other top skills, and the metal arm made of alloy, when mechanically driven, is infinitely powerful, even as a super soldier Captain America, is slightly inferior.
Bucky's metal arm forced his grip on the steel guardrail, kicked open the apartment door, ran briskly, and then volleyed onto the roof of the opposite building.
But the two helicopters stopped outside early, and the tall elite soldiers slid down the black ropes, and when they approached the low altitude, they let go of their hands and jumped down directly, as if they had fallen from the sky, standing firmly on the ground.
Their black uniforms were emblazoned with the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle emblem and the Hellfire armband on their right arm. These people act in unison, revealing an extremely strong iron temperament.
This is the "Hellfire Squad" specially created by S.H.I.E.L.D. in cooperation with the military, which has been injected with human enhancement potions, equipped with energy weapons, and has a strong physique and extraordinary strength, which instantly puts the Winter Soldier at a disadvantage.
At this time, Captain America broke through the encirclement and chased after him, and Sam Falcon, who was the logistics, controlled a jet-powered glider, and they wanted to rescue from the side, but compared to the thirty-man Hellfire team, the strength of the two was too insignificant.
Once upon a time, a super soldier led a roaring commando team to destroy the Hydra and defeat the Natsu army, but in the blink of an eye, Captain America found that he could mass-produce.
"Captain, it looks like we should leave!"
Sam's mechanical glider, hit by a beam of energy on the left wing, fell straight down, and they were trapped in the encirclement, and it was difficult to get out for a while.
Before the superhero appeared, the field team of S.H.I.E.L.D. alone made a group of three people unable to parry, the Winter Soldier had been captured, and Captain America relied on the vibranium shield to resist the destructive energy weapon.
Two pieces of steel armor fell from the sky, the silvery-white war machine raised its mechanical arm, the palm cannon ready to fire, and the Destroyer machine gun on its left shoulder aimed at the wanted S.H.I.E.L.D. criminal.
"Congratulations, you're now criminals."
Colonel Rhodes stepped forward to arrest Bucky the Winter Soldier and Sam the Fasur, preparing to put them on the transport plane.
The red and gold steel armor walked up to Captain America, raised his hand to fly the vibranium shield that symbolized honor, and Tony's voice came out: "This is my father's work, you don't deserve it." ”
