At 7 p.m. on December 16, 1991, on a forest road from New York to Washington, a Cadillac business car drove slowly. At this time, it was already dark, and the headlights of the car could only shine more than ten meters of road ahead, and there was no notice that a long-haired young man riding a motorcycle was hidden in the woods beside the road.

When the Cadillac passed by, the long-haired young man's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he muttered: "The target is confirmed, start moving." ”

The long-haired youth started his motorcycle and drove out of the woods, and a few seconds later followed the previous Cadillac. Driving the motorcycle around to the right side of the Cadillac, the long-haired young man stretched out his left hand and slammed a small bomb into the rear wheel of the car. The small bomb exploded instantly, without any sound or smoke, but it blew the tires of the Cadillac.

After a puncture, the Cadillac suddenly lost its balance and hit its head into a tree on the side of the road. The long-haired young man calmly turned the front of the car, parked the motorcycle next to the Cadillac, got out of the car, walked straight to the trunk of the Cadillac, and opened the trunk. Inside the trunk was a delicate suitcase, and when he opened the suitcase, the long-haired young man found that there were five packets of blue liquid frozen inside, nodded slightly, and determined that the suitcase was the goal of his trip, and then put the suitcase on his motorcycle.

At this time, the person in the driver's seat finally opened the door and struggled to climb out of the car that had been hit. The driver who climbed out was a thin old man with white hair and beard, who looked to be in his sixties.

"Help my wife, please, save her." The old man sensed that someone was coming and immediately began to call for help, and his wife was still trapped in the car.

The long-haired young man had no intention of saving the old man, and he had caused all this. Quickly stepped forward, grabbed the old man's hair with his right hand, pulled his head up, raised his left arm, and clenched his left hand into a fist, about to smash it towards the old man.

At this time, the old man gradually came back to his senses, and found that the young man's entire left arm turned out to be an advanced mechanical arm, and then looked at the appearance of the young man, it was extremely familiar, and the memories of decades ago came to mind, and he blurted out the young man's name: "Sergeant Barnes!" ”

The long-haired young man was obviously stunned, this name seemed a little familiar, but he was still an excellent warrior in the end, everything had to be the task first, raised the mechanical arm, clenched the metal fist, and was about to smash it towards the old man's forehead.

At this moment, a dark blue beam of light sank into the back of the long-haired young man's head, causing him to freeze his movements and just stand there dumbfounded. At the same time, in a hidden underground warehouse deep in the mountains of the United States, a blue cube glowed brightly, and after a few seconds it returned to its original state.

At this time, a visitor appeared in the sea of consciousness of the long-haired young man, and it was the faint blue light, which carried a soul in the light, and it was suspended in the sea of consciousness.

Zhu Qiang is an ordinary young man, likes sports, likes games, and prefers computer programming, if there is anything special about Zhu Qiang, it is that he is also a skilled hacker. Of course, he will not be idle to do such a thankless thing as invading the Pentagon, Zhu Qiang's favorite thing to do when he is a hacker is to invade major film and television companies in Hollywood, and he can get a sneak peek of the film months before its release.

Just a few hours ago, Zhu Qiang had just hacked into Marvel Studios and watched their upcoming masterpiece "Captain America 3". A blue gem the size of a grain of rice appeared in front of Zhu Qiang out of thin air, emitting a dazzling light, and the light enveloped Zhu Qiang and brought him to a strange space.

Zhu Qiang settled down, and found that he was wrapped in a cloud of blue light, suspended in this space. In front of him was a prison for a man who was sleeping and bound by various shackles. The familiar face and long golden hair made Zhu Qiang exclaim: "Winter Soldier! ”

Zhu Qiang was stunned by everything strange in front of him, and before he could react, the blue light wrapped around him and approached the Winter Soldier, passing through the cage and various shackles without hindrance, merging with the Winter Soldier in Zhu Qiang's horror.

In an instant, Zhu Qiang felt a large number of memories frantically pouring into his mind. There's Steve Rogers, who is skinny and always bullied; There were fights and captures on the battlefields of World War II; There is fighting alongside Steve Rogers, who has become Captain America; There are also assassinations after being brainwashed and transformed by Hydra and becoming a killing machine, the Winter Soldier.

Zhu Qiang felt as if he had experienced a century, and all kinds of pleasant and painful memories made his nerves a little confused. When he finally regained control of his body, he found that he was bound by various shackles and was in a prison.

"No, it's not that I'm locked up, it's that I've become the Winter Soldier!" After a long while, Zhu Qiang realized that he had become one with the locked Winter Soldier, or according to the novel, he had taken away the Winter Soldier.

"Now it's like this, it should be a soul, it should exist in the sea of consciousness of the Winter Soldier!" After looking at the left arm, which was a human arm, not a metal mechanical arm, Zhu Qiang made a judgment. Looking at the shackles that bound him and the prison not far away, which was carved with the pattern of Hydra, Zhu Qiang estimated that this should be the prohibition generated in the soul of Hydra after brainwashing and programming the Winter Soldier before.

Zhu Qiang is a person who yearns for freedom, but he doesn't want to become a murderous puppet controlled by the hydra, so he immediately exerts his strength, trying to break free from the shackles in his soul. When you break free from the shackles, the soul-burning feeling is extremely painful, and if you were an ordinary person, you would definitely give up because you can't bear the pain. But Zhu Qiang has never given up easily, and now that he has fused the soul of the previous Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, this is the time when the soul power is the strongest, and the shackles continue to burn Zhu Qiang's soul, but it also becomes loose in Zhu Qiang's struggles again and again.

Finally, the entire space where the soul was located shook violently, and the shackles that bound Zhu Qiang were finally broken free and turned into nothingness. Next is the cage outside, after breaking free from the shackles of the shackles on the soul, Zhu Qiang felt that the strength he could exert was much stronger, the cage didn't last long, and was also broken into pieces by Zhu Qiang and disappeared.

Zhu Qiang, who had completed all this, found that he had left the soul space, holding a white-haired old man in his right hand, and the metal fist in his left hand was already clenched, and he was about to smash towards the old man, which made Zhu Qiang a little stunned.

"Howard! Howard! ”

On the other side, a woman's weak cry came from the other side, which brought Zhu Qiang, who was stunned, back to his senses. This familiar scene and the name shouted by the woman immediately made Zhu Qiang understand that the old man he was carrying in his hand was actually Howard Stark, the head of Stark Industries, and the father of Iron Man Tony Stark. And the Winter Soldier, who is now himself, is under the orders of Hydra to snatch the super-soldier serum and kill the Starks. And this murder was the fuse of the entire civil war story of the movie "Captain America 3".

Zhu Qiang, who has been brainwashed by Hydra, is naturally reluctant to kill the Starks, and during World War II, Howard Stark and Bucky Barnes at that time also had a good relationship, and they were good friends. However, the play still has to be acted, and Zhu Qiang knows very well that there is a camera not far away, which is filming the whole process of his actions.

He punched Howard in the head and knocked him unconscious, then put him back in the driver's seat of the car, disguised as a car accident, and then went around to the passenger seat of the car and knocked Howard's wife, Maria Stark, unconscious. After doing this, Zhu Qiang took out his pistol and shot it at a camera in the distance.

After giving Hydra the wrong message, Zhu Qiang looked at the burning car, he didn't want to lose his life to the Starks because of the burning car. Dragged Mr. and Mrs. Stark out of the car and put them in the woods by the roadside, and just as Zhu Qiang turned to leave, Howard Stark woke up.

"Sergeant Barnes, is that you?"

Slowly turned around and looked at the old Howard, the memories that originally belonged to the Winter Soldier emerged, and the original elegant and funny scientist Howard was already in his twilight years, which couldn't help but make Zhu Qiang feel a little sad.

"It seems that the fusion of Bucky Barnes' previous memories has had a lot of influence on me. But since I came to this world and occupied your body, then I will be Bucky Barnes from now on, and I will bear all the causes and effects of the past for you. Zhu Qiang made a promise in his heart to the Winter Soldier who had been fused with him, and in the future, he Zhu Qiang would be the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. (Bucky will be called Bucky in the future)

"I'm sorry, Howard, that wasn't what I intended!" Bucky had an apologetic look on his face.

"It's really you, you're not dead!" At this time, Howard was already shocked, and Bucky, who was Captain America's best friend Steve Rogers, was devastated by his death.

"Yes, I fell off a cliff and only lost an arm, and then I was caught by the Hydra people and installed a robotic arm for me, and brainwashed me into their murderous puppet." Bucky showed his left arm to Howard and continued, "But it's good that I came to my senses just before I was going to kill you, and today is our lucky day, isn't it!" ”

patted Howard on the shoulder, Bucky was about to leave, after all, Hydra was still waiting for him to go back, and if he didn't return to the base for a long time, then Hydra would definitely send someone to look for him. The current Bucky is far from being an opponent of Hydra, so he can only hide himself first, and he will definitely not have much time to run away.

"Bucky, you're in danger right now, come back to S.H.I.E.L.D. with me!" Seeing that Bucky was leaving, Howard hurriedly opened his mouth to stay, not only for his former friend, but also in the hope of learning something about Hydra through Bucky. As one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard always thought that Hydra had been completely wiped out, but he didn't expect that Hydra still existed now, and he would have to put himself to death.

"I'm sorry Howard, but I still have some things to do and can't go to S.H.I.E.L.D. with you. Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not safe, Hydra has infiltrated its minions into S.H.I.E.L.D. many years ago, and now S.H.I.E.L.D. has somehow deteriorated. Finally, a word of advice, don't trust anyone! ”

With that, Bucky turned and left, riding away on his motorcycle.
