0165: New era, Tony's helplessness
After Steve Rogers completed his mission in a small town in the woods, he immediately found the person in charge of the mission, an important officer of the military region.
He had wanted to learn about the purge plan from officials, but the officials were angry and surprised by his presence, and seemed to be deliberately hiding something, refusing to tell them everything about the plan, citing top secrets.
The same exists in the United States, not to mention that Steve is still an upright American high-quality soldier, and he is also powerless for officials whose ranks are several levels higher than his own, so he has no choice but to leave.
He planned to ask Nick Fury, but he didn't find anyone at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, as for Tony Stark, like him, he was confused about the elimination plan, no matter how high Jarvis's technical level was, he couldn't hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top-secret document library, because the highest level of secrets were stored by paper documents, and the location was hidden deep at the bottom of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the people in the world could only reach it with a few hands.
Discouraged, Steve returned to the Avengers base, poured a few large sips of ice water, and took a shower, unable to forget what Marcos had said.
His instincts told him that it must not be easy, and that he and Tony, as well as the entire Avengers, were kept in the dark.
This feeling was the same as when the new law was enacted, which caught him off guard and felt powerless at the same time.
"Whew"
After Steve's shower, he wiped his hair back to the office, sat on the couch, and drank ice water.
Suddenly, a slight breathing sound from behind him made his scalp tense.
Boom!
His eyes froze, and he raised his hand and threw out the finger water glass behind him, "Who's there, get out!" ”
In the shadowy corner, Rojo grabbed the flying cup in one hand and placed it on the table beside him, "Rogers, calm down. ”
"Rojo?!"
Steve was stunned for a moment, but once again confirmed that he was right, his eyes were full of surprise, "You are finally willing to show up." ”
It's been almost a year since the wanted warrant was issued, and the last time we met was a few months ago, during which time neither the Avengers nor S.H.I.E.L.D., nor the various departments and organizations, have heard any news about Rojo, or any other wanted mutants.
All of them seemed to have vanished from the world, and if it weren't for the appearance of Marcos and John yesterday, in a few months, they might have given up their search and turned their attention to more important things, after all, the Avengers are still investigating Hydra and the new criminal organization.
Now, when Steve saw Rojo who had come to the door, he took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to gesture, "Sit down, we should talk." ”
"It seems that you are not a reckless man who can only fight, I thought you would rush up and subdue me."
Rojo sat down on the couch across from Steve.
"Where have you all been all this time?"
Steve was puzzled by this, and even if he knew that he had asked, he couldn't help but be curious, "We've searched every place you could go, but we don't have any clues. ”
"It seems that you have a high opinion of us internally."
Rojo took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet next to him.
"That's Tony's wine, and he usually doesn't let outsiders move."
As soon as Steve finished speaking, the young man opposite had already poured two glasses of wine and drank them, and he had no choice but to take a sip and prick his throat.
He asked slowly, "You won't come to me for nothing, what do you want?" ”
"I don't want anything."
Rojo put down his glass and pulled a document from under his coat, "Look at this." ”
"What's that?"
Steve Rogers was puzzled, took the document, turned the first page, the first line of words on it, instantly made his pupils tremble, and what caught his eye was the "Removal Plan".
He looked up and asked, "What kind of document is this?" ”
"Actually, it's not a document, it's just a confession, do you remember the family of three around you when you were in the town this morning, besieging Marcos and John?"
Rojo really couldn't get his hands on the clean-up plan, it didn't exist in the database, he searched through the paper archives and couldn't find it, he suspected that the mastermind hadn't written it at all, after all, only things that didn't exist were the safest.
"Are they part of the purge program?"
Steve had a bad premonition in his heart, and instead of daring to continue flipping through the papers, he asked.
"Participants? Victims, to be exact! ”
Rojo got up directly, making Steve on the other side lean back vigilantly, but he didn't do anything, just walked towards the door, and said at the same time: "Steve, after reading this document, if you still have a conscience, you should know what to do." ”
"Steve!"
The door was pushed open by the people outside, and Natasha hurried in, gun in her fingers.
"It seems that you secretly notified your comrades-in-arms, but what I should have said has been said, there is my phone number in the document, if you figure it out, contact me to cooperate."
Seeing this, Rojo waved his hand to signal that it was time to leave, and then Clarice's portal appeared under his feet, and the whole person instantly fell into a large circle.
When Natasha rushed up and the portal was closed, she gritted her teeth and kicked the ground angrily, saying, "One more step slower." ”
Then, she looked at Steve, only to find that the other party was constantly flipping through the papers, and at the same time, his eyes gradually became heavy, and his eyes burned with anger.
She wondered, "Steve, what is Rojo's collaboration?" ”
"Natasha, what does S.H.I.E.L.D. know about the purge plan?"
Steve closed the document, his breathing became short, and Natasha on the other side snatched the document when she saw this, and after reading it, her expression was much darker.
It contains confessions from the victims of the eradication program, detailing the brutal killing of hundreds of people last night.
And those who were killed were the beneficiaries of the new law.
This also means that the so-called new bill is just a lie, everything is a cover, and now someone finally can't bear it!
"Do you know about the purge plan?"
Steve asked Natasha, "Rojo said the collaboration. It has to do with opposition to the purge plan. ”
However, in fact, his suspicions were too high, and before this morning, Natasha had no idea about the purge plan, and now this document gave them a thorough understanding of the contents of the purge plan, a plan born to slaughter mutants.
"I'm going to find Nick Fury."
Natasha grimaced, closed the papers, and walked away quickly.
It's just that she didn't find Nick Fury, but instead met Ciel, and learned from Hill that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not involved in the elimination plan, and she also got a mission point about the elimination plan.
The mission point is to clear the plan execution team, the upcoming raid of the transport convoy.
The convoys were tasked with transporting mutants to their new homes, all of which were planned in remote areas, and it was clear that everything was premeditated.
After getting the documents for the mission point, Natasha returned to the Avengers headquarters, and Steve had already informed Tony that they would be waiting here for a long time.
Natasha asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Save the Lives First"
Tony Stark looked solemn and explained, "Even if you S.H.I.E.L.D. can't stop it, it's impossible for us to intervene to make them stop. ”
"Shall we get them all out?"
Hawkeye Barton asked.
Tony said, "Can you think of a better way?" The only thing we can do is to save as many people as possible from being removed. ”
"But the problem is that we have too few people to save so many people, not to mention, even if we save people, how should we settle them?"
Barton worries that it will be difficult to save people from the elite troops, but it seems even more frustrating to house tens of thousands of mutants.
In particular, this mission will obviously not receive official support, after all, even S.H.I.E.L.D. has avoided it, and they are simply doing so alone, and they will not receive any support.
"Rojo, he came to me, and he definitely won't sit idly by."
Steve took out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "He gave me a number and asked me to figure it out and contact him to cooperate, it seems that he was referring to the blocking of the removal plan." ”
"Working with a wanted criminal, while an unwise choice, is much better than indulging a group of demons."
Tony Stark agrees with the idea of working with Rojo.
He joked: "However, you help me ask him, as a reward for cooperation, after the fact, can he turn himself in, we have not had a performance for a long time." ”
“.”
On the other hand, Rojo, who returned to Cracoia, soon received a call from Steve, and he accepted the Avengers' request for cooperation without any surprises.
He understands that even if the avenger is on the opposite side of himself, it is impossible to give up the justice in his heart, at least the avengers of this universe will not do that.
That's why he dared to go to Steve, and he also thought that Nick Fury would not let it go, and now look at the mission point file information given by Hill that says it all, Nick Fury is a spiritual American, but he is also a spiritual earthling, and in his eyes mutants and ordinary people are earthlings.
According to the cooperation plan, the Rojo people are responsible for one part, and the rest is responsible for the Avengers, and since most of the mission points are carried out at the same time, they must be divided into multiple groups of people to rescue, and the maximum number of people can be saved.
Because if there is a first accident, the planner of the elimination plan will definitely be aware of it and be vigilant against it, so it is best to save as many people as possible in the first operation.
Originally, they planned to rescue people at the starting point of the transport vehicle, but there were troops sending each other on the way, and they couldn't find the next phone, but fortunately, when they knew the planned route of the transport convoy in advance, they could accurately capture the time when the escort army left and intercept the transport convoy, so as to avoid contact with the army of the clearance plan as much as possible.
The Avengers are even more so, after all, they don't want to be recognized more than anyone else, and they change into uniforms and cover their faces.
Fortunately, there were no accidents on the way, only a few times they collided with the clearing troops, and they were all collided by Rojo's side, and ordinary people had no power to fight back in the face of powerful mutants.
A few days later, tens of thousands of mutants quietly gathered in a mountain forest, and after many days of blocked clearance plans, the planners of the clearance plan seemed to realize that someone was deliberately trying to prevent this from happening, but instead of giving up, they accelerated the progress and relaxed the number of clearance troops, which seemed to be just a formality compared to a few days ago.
Steve was keenly aware of this, "Things seem to be getting simpler. ”
"Someone helped them take the mutants away for free, and these guys were happier than anyone else."
Tony Stark sneered, glanced at the information at the mission point, and said, "This is the last batch, they have controlled the number of people to the desired threshold, no, within their budget." ”
"Why didn't you choose to expose them?"
Steve suddenly changed the subject, and it was also a question he had endured for a long time, "Not everyone will condone them to do that." ”
In fact, after he learned the truth of the plan, he immediately wanted to expose all this, but Tony didn't seem to think so.
"It's not that simple, since the incident of the X Redemption Plan, I no longer believe that one person and one plan can save a race.
Besides, I'm not alone, I still have you, and Pepper, Stark Group, the only thing I can do is save as many people as possible without hurting anyone. ”
Tony Stark chuckled helplessly, turned around and asked Jarvis to help register each mutant he had rescued, not wanting to continue the conversation.
"What about Rojo?"
Natasha looked around, but didn't see Rojo and his party, "He said he would be responsible for relocating these people. ”
"That's tens of thousands, maybe we can help him."
Steve Rogers looked at the crowd and felt a little headache, to say that thousands of people are good to hide, but tens of thousands. Where to hide?
It certainly can't be America, otherwise what's the difference between letting them stay in hell.
But tens of thousands of people are slow to hide.
Where can Rojo take them? There doesn't seem to be a good place for mutants right now, especially since the new bill is nothing more than a lie.
"Rogers, thank you for your kindness, but I can accommodate everyone, so you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter."
It was Rojo who came, and he decisively rejected Steve's kindness.
Steve Rogers was a little distressed and said, "Rojo, maybe you can choose to trust us one more time." ”
Rojo shook his head and said, "Rogers, it's not about trust, we can settle everyone so that they don't have to live in fear anymore." ”
"What?"
Steve's eyebrows furrowed.
"Times are going to change soon, mutants won't have to live in the shadows, Rogers, are you ready for a new era?"
Rojo patted Steve on the shoulder and staggered past him.
Steve didn't make out the meaning of the sentence, but he saw the eyes of Rojo, the young man with a determined glint in his eyes that prompted him to trust every word he said.
As if everything that was said would really happen.
By the time Steve wanted to ask some questions, Rojo was already gone, and the matter of picking up the mutants was handled by Rojo's friends.
