Chapter 243: First Encounter - Captain America
Hodge walked out of the Stark Industries building in deep thought, although many employees saw Hodge as an outsider who was not a Stark Industries employee.
But no one came up to ask, after all, they had seen their big boss politely lure Hodge up, and they didn't dare to go up and stop people at will.
Out of the building, Hodge thought about it and decided to go back to work tomorrow, although he wanted to fight the idea of aliens, but Hodge didn't have interstellar coordinates, what if he took the initiative to find it and got lost in the universe?
Losing your way in the universe is more severe than an ordinary person getting lost in the forest, after all, the danger of the two can be described as one heaven and one underground.
Hodge didn't want his steel body to attack a cosmic storm, a ray, a magnetic storm, or some other strange cosmic catastrophe.
More importantly, what if I go out and can't come back?
Hodge can cry to death!
Dispelling this idea, Hodge could only wait.
Anyway, according to the laws of this world, even if Hodge doesn't do anything, those aliens will come to Earth one by one.
Packing up his mood, Hodge looked at the time, the sun had set when it was open, and subconsciously touched his stomach, although he didn't feel hungry, Hodge still decided to get something to eat for afternoon tea.
Speaking of roadside food stalls, they are not only available in China, but also in a megacity like New York, and they are very diverse.
Hodge found one not far from Stark Industries.
This open-air food stall is neatly furnished with plastic parasols. The clean white round tables and the white chairs make a very good first impression.
More importantly, there are a lot of customers here. Although most of them are reporters who keep an eye on Tony Stark, there are still some pedestrians who are tired of shopping.
Hodge casually found an empty table, and as soon as he sat down, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked over with brisk steps: "Sir, what do you want?" ”
The girl has fair skin, melon seed face, and beautiful eyebrows. He was wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of sky-blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. Coupled with the soft smile on her face, people unconsciously felt good.
"Bring me a ......" Hodge looked at the menu on the sign not far away, and said, "Two corn muffins, and then a glass of juice." Thank you. ”
The girl glanced at Hodge's movements. Somewhat surprised, he glanced at Hodge, "You have such a good look, sir." Please wait, what you want will be ready soon. ”
For the girl's surprise, Hodge just smiled slightly, there was a distance of about seven or eight meters from Hodge's position to the main signboard hung by the stall owner, and a lot of food was densely written on the signboard.
If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely have to stand up and look closer one by one, but Hodge just glanced at it casually. You can choose what you want from so many things.
This surprised the girl, but it was only a surprise. Some people with particularly good eyesight can also see clearly, but most people nowadays don't have very good eyesight.
After the girl left, Hodge began to think that he now had to not only start learning about it, but also prepare a perfect secret base.
He can't work with a company or research institute, so he has to have his own private independent real room.
For this problem, Hodge also considered building one with his own hands, and it was very easy to build a real room with his own hands.
After all, he only needs to know the place for what materials he wants, and then fly over to collect them.
Not long after Hodge sat down, a tall, handsome young man sat at a table next to Hodge, with dazzling blond hair, a high nose, a wide jawbone, and a brown leather jacket with short black sleeves underneath.
As Hodge looked at the young man, the young man seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at Hodge.
Hodge was also a little surprised to see that the young man was so sensitive, but Hodge still smiled at him very kindly.
Seeing Hodge's smile, the young man was stunned for a moment, but soon, he also smiled at Hodge, which was regarded as a greeting, and then beckoned the waiter and asked for a glass of boiled water.
Seeing this, Hodge did not continue to observe the young man, because what he asked for had already arrived, and the crispy corn muffins with an enticing aroma made Hodge's taste buds begin to secrete saliva.
Some couldn't wait to pick up the muffin, but Hodge didn't get too hot, took a big bite, and then praised the girl who brought him something very satisfied: "It tastes very good!" ”
Receiving Hodge's admiration, the girl also smiled slightly: "Thank you, a total of fifteen dollars." ”
"Okay." Hodge neatly took the change out of his pocket and handed it to the girl.
While Hodge was eating the corn muffin, the young man thought that the waiter had asked for a pen and paper, and began to write and draw on them.
Seeing this, Hodge swallowed the muffin in his hand three times and divided it by two, then raised his neck slightly, and squinted at the things on the young man's paper for a second.
It was a sketch, and it was very beautiful and realistic.
Although Hodge didn't know how to appreciate paintings, he at least knew that the young man was a master of painting.
"You're awesome!"
For some reason, Hodge always felt that he could feel a vicissitudes of life in this young man's body, although it was a little strange to feel a smell of an old man from a person in his twenties, but Hodge, who had seen too much, did not react much.
The young man didn't say much, and after hearing Hodge's praise, he just smiled shyly: "Thank you." ”
After thanking him, the young man put down his pen and looked at the drawing on the paper in a daze.
Seeing that the young man didn't talk much, Hodge didn't continue to come over, after all, he was not the kind of overly 'warm-hearted' person, and after eating, Hodge got up and left.
And the youth is still in a daze.
However, when Hodge walked out more than ten meters away, the mobile phone on the young man's body suddenly rang, and when the young man heard this sound, he didn't react until the ringtone rang for four or five seconds, and then he came back to his senses, and then hurriedly took out a rather advanced mobile phone from his pocket.
The young man turned on his phone somewhat awkwardly and put it next to his ear.
"Steve, are you still adjusting to your current life?" On the phone, a calm voice rang, if Hodge was here, he would definitely be able to hear it, wasn't this voice Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Average." The expression on the face of the young man whom Fury called Steve did not change, but he said softly.
"Come to me, and I'll introduce you to a few people." Fury said, and then continued: "Although you will feel that everything has changed, believe me, the future life will definitely be more exciting. (To be continued......)
