Early the next morning, Bucky traveled alone to Redmond to sign a contract at Microsoft's headquarters. Anna will spend another day in Silicon Valley, and when the tech show is over, Anna will return to New York with a few interns.

Redmond is a small city near Seattle, and when Bucky stepped off the plane from Seattle, he found that Microsoft people were already waiting for him at the airport.

Coming to pick up Bucky was Marina Hall, the manager of Microsoft's public relations department.

"I didn't expect Ms. Hall to pick me up in person, I was really flattered!" Bucky smiled and shook hands with Marina Hall.

"Mr. Barnes is the majority shareholder of the future company, and it is my honor to be here to pick you up." Marina Hall is a good public relations person, and her words are neither humble nor arrogant, but they can make Bucky feel very comfortable.

An hour later, Bucky, led by Marina Hall, arrived at Microsoft's headquarters. There, Microsoft's board of directors has arrived to welcome the company's third-largest individual shareholder.

The process of signing the contract was very cumbersome, and Bucky figured out all the contents of the contract one by one under the answers of Microsoft's lawyers, and when the contract was signed, it was already dinner time. Today's dinner was a reception for Bucky prepared by all the top management of Microsoft, and it was not eaten until after 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Director Barnes, the company has put the development of a new operating system on the agenda, and now that you are both a director of the company and a technical advisor, when will you have time to explain to the developers how the operating system should be developed next?" After the meal, Gates asked Bucky.

"Anytime, I want to be quick, there's still something I need to take care of over there in New York." Bucky didn't say anything polite to Gates, and directly put forward a request to finish the operating system as soon as possible and return to New York.

Unlike Redmond, a small city with a population of 40,000 or 50,000, New York has a population of nearly 10 million, countless state-of-the-art scientific research institutions, and thousands of mutants living there. Something can happen in New York at any time that can affect Bucky, so Bucky is reluctant to leave New York for a long time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Bucky has been in Redmond for more than half a month, and these days Bucky has integrated into Microsoft's development team, telling Microsoft engineers his thoughts about the operating system every day. I have to say that these experienced engineers are much better than a few interns in Bucky's own company, although it is only a short half a month, they have already understood Bucky's development ideas, and Bucky can almost rest assured that Bucky will be handed over to them.

That evening, Bucky's cell phone rang suddenly. Not many people know Bucky's cell phone number, and only Anna has called it in the past few days in Redmond.

Looking at the phone, it turned out to be Wade's phone, which surprised Bucky. Wade has been traveling with his new wife since he married Vanessa last Christmas, and it has been more than five months now. During this time, Wade never called, and only sent a few postcards to Bucky in a few cities with good scenery.

"Hey, Wade, but I haven't called in a while!" Picking up the phone, Bucky said with a smile.

"Bucky, help me, you must help me, Vanessa, they captured Vanessa!"

Wade's voice was anxious and incoherent, but Bucky understood that Vanessa had been captured.

Vanessa is very aware of Wade's importance Bucky, as Wade himself describes, he and Vanessa are two bizarre pieces of a puzzle, but when put together, they are a complete set of patterns. Without Vanessa, Wade's life would have been a mess again.

"Calm down, Wade, you have to calm down!" Bucky tried to calm Wade down first, at least to let Wade tell himself what had happened first.

"Hell, hell, how can I be calm!" Wade's voice was full of anger and self-blame, perhaps it was anger that overwhelmed his brain, and Wade threw the phone he was holding to the ground as soon as he threw it to the ground.

How could an ordinary mobile phone withstand the power of a super soldier like Wade, the moment the phone touched the ground, it became shattered.

Listening to the busy sound coming from the mobile phone, Bucky was a little helpless, Wade is like this, once he is in a hurry, he can do anything. In less than a minute, Bucky's cell phone rang again, an unfamiliar number, but Bucky believed it was Wade calling.

"Wade, what the hell is going on? You have to calm down, calm down to help Vanessa! Bucky said in a calm tone.

Wade, who was on the other side of the phone, took a few deep breaths before saying, "Just now, more than an hour ago, Vanessa and I were sunbathing by the sea in Santa Monica, and I just went to buy some drinks, and someone kidnapped Vanessa!" ”

After Wade's description, Bucky finally learns what happened. Just this afternoon, a group of well-trained soldiers took advantage of Wade's inattention to rob Vanessa by the sea in Santa Monica. Although Wade found out that something was wrong at the first time, he was too far away from the other party, and the other party had already prepared a retreat route, which led to Wade killing several of the other party's soldiers, but he couldn't save Vanessa, and now he is falling into deep self-blame.

"Wade, listen, now is not the time for you to blame yourself!" Bucky's tone was a little heavy, and he couldn't understand why someone would go to great lengths to kidnap Vanessa, whether it was for Wade, or if Vanessa had a secret that neither Bucky nor Wade knew. Bucky could only continue to ask Wade to see if he could get more details: "Did you find anything when you fought those people?" ”

"Discovery?" After a moment of silence, Wade continued: "Well-trained, well-equipped, tacitly coordinated, and well-commanded, no less than a Navy SEAL. ”

After listening to Wade's introduction, Bucky knew that this kind of special forces-level soldier rarely left useful traces in the execution of his mission, and even if Wade had rich mercenary experience, he might not be able to identify these soldiers.

Just as Bucky was having a headache about how to find Vanessa, Wade suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I think I've found out!" ”

Then there was the beep of the phone hanging up. Bucky doesn't know what Wade has discovered, so he can only wait for Wade's call.

But Wade is now on the beach in Santa Monica, where there was a kidnapping incident not long ago, and several people were killed in the incident, and the originally lively coastal road seems a little deserted at this time.

Wade calls Bucky in a phone booth when he sees a sneaky figure on the corner of the street through the reflection of the phone booth glass, staring at him all the time.

Now Wade is maintaining a high degree of vigilance against everything in the outside world, and when he finds the figure that can be seen, he immediately acts, hangs up the phone, rushes out of the phone booth, and rushes towards the figure.

When the figure saw Wade menacing, he immediately turned around and ran. It's a pity that this person is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't even have the speed of an ordinary person, and he was caught up by Wade in a few breaths and pressed to the ground.

"Bastard, who are you?" Wade grabbed the man by the neck with one hand and pinned him to the ground, and with the other he pulled out a dagger that shone with a cold light from his calf, and kept gesturing next to the man's face.

"Please don't hurt me, please, I'm just a normal, ordinary bastard, someone asked me to deliver a letter to you." The thugs who were held down by Wade were already scared silly, he had never seen anyone run more than fifty meters in two or three seconds, and now Wade was wearing a red Deadpool uniform, but he didn't have a hood, and his terrifying face left a huge psychological shadow on the thugs in the dim light.

"Take it out!"

Wade's angry yelling made the thug shudder, and he shuddered and took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Wade tremblingly.

Grabbing the envelope, Wade couldn't wait to tear it open and take out a letter from inside.

In the dim light, Wade saw that the letter only wrote one sentence: "Wade Wilson, do you miss the days when you worked under me after you got married?" ”

Looking at the words on the paper, memories came to Wade's heart little by little. It was a memory of carnage, as Wade and a few other mercenaries with special abilities roamed the world, plundering, slaughtering, and doing everything.

It was an unpleasant one for Wade now, and since then, tired of killing, he quit the mercenary squad and lived a reclusive life in New York. After that, Wade was no longer a top-level mercenary, but a low-level mercenary who helped people teach gangsters a lesson.

The hand holding the letter clenched continuously, crumpling the letter into a paper ball, and Wade muttered to himself hatefully, "William Stryker, I must cut off your head and stuff it in your ass!" ”

Knowing that Wade, who was behind the kidnapping of Vanessa, he didn't care about the thugs on the ground and turned to leave.

Moments later, Bucky, who was in Redmond, received another call from Wade.

"I already know who Vanessa's kidnapper is, it's my old friend William Stryker, and I think he'll be going to see his beloved God soon!" Wade only said one sentence and hung up.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Bucky frowned and thought, this time it was William Stryker, the old guy, who was making trouble, why did he kidnap Vanessa, was it for Wade?

At this moment, it occurred to Bucky that William Stryker was probably trying to transform Wade into a super soldier with several variant abilities in one.

In this way, this time is the time when the movie "Wolverine" in the previous life took place, but Bucky is not clear whether the current Logan has been injected into the Erdman alloy and has become a real Wolverine.

Thinking back to the plot of the movie, I can't remember it anymore due to the time it has passed, but Bucky knows that Stryker had his wife Kayla play fake his death in order to get Logan to voluntarily join the experiment. Kayla is at Stryker's mercy because Stryker has captured her sister.

Kayla's sister, isn't it Anna! Bucky was shocked that if Stryker still wanted to control Kayla that way, he would definitely do something to Anna.

Bucky hurriedly took out his phone and dialed Anna's number.
