In a Hydra base at the bottom of Lake Michigan, Peter was busy in front of a computer. The cold light shone on his mask. His serious expression could be seen through the mask, because he had just discovered something here.
Information on many human experimentation programs.
But after experiencing many things, Peter has been able to restrain his sad emotions and focus on business. After working in front of the computer for a long time, Steve stepped over the fallen desk and chair with a shield and asked him: "
Have you found it? Where have the researchers gone?”
Peter shook his head, looked at the screen and said: "They destroyed most of the data before they left. The data I restored was only a very small part of it, and it is impossible to leave the whereabouts in the computer."
"Where's the surveillance equipment?"
"All the data has been destroyed, and I am trying to restore it." Peter said while staring at the screen, the data flowing in his eyes. After a while, the screen flashed, and Steve asked: "How was it?"
"Only a very small part has been restored. How many clues we can get depends on luck." Peter finally typed on the keyboard, and a picture appeared on the screen.
It looked like a camera in a cleaning room, but the door was opened a small crack, so the situation outside could be captured. Perhaps because of this, the surveillance screen was not cleared, but was retained.
There was a faint sound of conversation, it seemed like someone was talking on the phone.
Steve stepped forward and said to Peter, "Pause and listen to this sentence again."
Peter clicked and set the audio to play repeatedly. The two of them listened for a long time and barely made out a few words from the vague sounds.
"Evacuation... security plan... and 'doctor'?" Steve narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that before we broke through here, they contacted another group of Hydra and then moved to other strongholds."
"But several surrounding strongholds have been destroyed by us a long time ago. Where can they hide?" Peter was puzzled.
Steve explained to him: "Hydra is a secret organization. They often set up a lot of security strongholds to cope with searches by various forces."
"These strongholds are nested layer by layer. No one knows where all the safe strongholds are. Although Stark and we have destroyed almost all the strongholds, there is no guarantee that there may be more secret strongholds hidden in the
Under the water…”
Peter took a deep breath and said, "So, after we have been busy for so long, they ran away?"
"You have to learn to accept that in fact, most of the combat missions are useless, but they are also laying the foundation for the final victory." Steve stepped forward, put his arm around Peter's shoulders, and turned to look at
His eyes said: "The cunning enemy can only be cruel for a while, but only we will achieve final success."
The next day, they found another laboratory, still underground. Hydra had hidden many secret bases under the ground. Captain America led the Avengers and pulled them out one after another like potatoes.
.
With a "boom", Spider-Man opened the last door. Inside was the common control room in the Hydra base, but it was already empty.
Peter took a deep breath, raised his shoulders, and Steve, who was following him, said in a low voice: "This is not right. One or two bases and strongholds can be said to have heard the news and moved in advance, but several strongholds in a row
All the important personnel have fled..."
Matt walked in and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, there is a very deep security stronghold. All the important personnel who escaped should have gathered there. We must find out its location."
"Remember the name we heard last time?" Steve looked at Peter, touched his chin and said, "The person who arranged their evacuation seemed to be called 'Doctor' or 'Doctor'."
"With all due respect, Steve, you have been a bit over the top recently." Matt came up to Steve and said: "As long as we can fight criminals, we can cooperate with anyone, including Stark, even if we have a relationship with him.
There are disputes over methods, but the path is always the same, and we should have joined forces long ago."
Peter also advised: "Actually, there is no fundamental conflict between the two of you, captain. Even if your tempers are a bit incompatible, it may be just because you don't understand each other. I always believe that people with righteous hearts will always become friends."
Steve shook his head and said: "I don't hate Stark, I just feel that it is my unshirkable responsibility to fight against Hydra, but I will not force anyone to shoulder this responsibility for me."
"Similarly, I don't know why he suddenly did this, but I have to tell him that this is not a child's play house, and it is not something he can accomplish in three minutes because of his sudden enthusiasm."
"But..." Steve changed the topic: "His recent behavior has indeed proved to me that he really wants to attack Hydra."
"In the past period of time, he has made great achievements. I think it is time to gather all our strength to completely eliminate them."
"Just think about it." Matt nodded and said. He had to admit that Captain America was indeed a noble man. He was also a good friend, calm, open-minded, and good at listening to other people's opinions.
"I'll go over to the computers here to see if there's any information. Then we'll go back to Mr. Stark and ask him if he can find a way to find out where the secret security base is."
With that said, Peter turned around and walked to the operating console. As soon as he got there, he said with some confusion: "Huh? Why does the system here seem a little different from others?"
Steve, who was checking the paper documents, turned around and asked him: "What's different? Is there anything special?"
"There seems to be a unique encryption system here, and there is a special password lock to open. It's very complicated, so they didn't have time to destroy it before leaving. Let me take a look..."
"Oh my God, it's another damn human experiment. What is this?...The Winter Soldier Project? Oh my god! How could they..."
As Peter exclaimed repeatedly, Steve and Matt both walked over, and Peter introduced to them: "There is a very old encryption system sealed here, because the way to open it is very complicated, and it is not noticeable.
, those evacuating agents may not have cared about it..."
"But I think this should be quite important, so I just unpacked some of the information and found that it mentioned a human experiment plan called the 'Winter Soldier Project'..."
"They wanted to create perfect emotionless warriors, so they implanted brainwashing modules into people's brains, modified their bodies, implanted part of the machinery into their bodies, and then sent them to assassinate important figures.
"I have long said that the evil of Hydra is like the iceberg under the water. What we see will always be only a small corner." Steve sighed, and then said: "Seal up these information
Bar."
"By the way, is there a list of subjects? If we can find the families of these poor victims, we can also send them a pension. I will pay for it."
Peter lowered his head and fiddled with the computer, and then said: "The list... the list... was found, oh! God, it's a bit damaged! Only the first half is left, only the last name starting with the letter G. Do you want to come over and take a look?
team leader?"
Steve originally didn't want to go there, but he thought of his comrades who had been brutally killed by Hydra. No matter what, they were all victims, and Steve wanted to pray for them.
So he walked over, scanned the list briefly, and crossed himself on his chest. At this moment, he suddenly saw the last name starting with the letter B at the top of the list.
"Barnes?" Steve narrowed his eyes in confusion, and Peter asked: "What? What happened to him?"
"...Nothing, it's just that one of my friends also has this last name. By the way, can you see their name?"
"Oh, the names are folded." Peter said, stepped forward and clicked on the screen, and everyone's names were displayed. At this time, Steve stared at the screen and said: "
James Barnes?! Bucky…”
"Do you have any information about this person?!" Steve suddenly grabbed Peter's shoulder, which hurt Peter a little. Seeing Steve's excited expression, he asked, "Are you okay? Captain?"
Steve suddenly reacted. He put his arm down, his fingers were trembling a little, and he said: "...It's okay, can you help me find out this person's information? He may be my former comrade..."
"Okay, let's take a look...James Buchanan Barnes, the specific source is not indicated, but it shows that he participated in the Winter Soldier transformation project and installed a mechanical arm on the broken arm..."
Steve suddenly showed a surprised expression and said, "That's right! Bucky's arm should be broken! It's him! It must be him!"
But soon, a look of frustration crept onto his face, and he said: "I'm afraid these victims have all... Damn Hydra, Bucky must have suffered a lot, and I will definitely eradicate them!"
"You mean, this man named Barnes may be your former comrade?" Peter asked him, and then he started to operate the computer again, saying: "He may not be dead, Captain, the information shows that they gave this person
A group of people participating in the human experiment were injected with a special agent to increase their cell activity and lifespan."
"And they mentioned a principle of weapons storage, which seems to be to store these people in a certain base and only use them when necessary."
Steve turned his head, stared at Peter intently and asked, "Really? Can he really live this long?"
"Look, here is a detailed report on that medicine. Judging from the molecular formula of its ingredients, I think this medicine will be very effective. It should be able to increase the cell activity and life span of the human body several times. If he did not die in the battle,
If so, he should still be alive..."
Steve immediately picked up the shield and walked out. Peter chased after him and said: "Captain! Captain! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find that base, and I'm going to rescue my friends!"
Matt walked up and stopped him and said, "Steve, calm down. Have you forgotten what happened to us before?"
"Several bases are empty. If we can't find out where the safe base is, the researchers who participated in this project may still move with important information, and you will never find your friends!"
Steve hammered the shield hard, and his chest rose and fell violently several times. After a few minutes, he finally regained his composure and said, "Let's go, let's go find Stark."
About an hour later, members of the Avengers appeared in the laboratory in Stark Tower. Steve could clearly see that Stark frowned when he heard Barnes' name.
After a moment, Steve narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you heard from him?"
Stark denied it, saying: "I don't. I have no interest in you or your friends."
"Mr. Stark, can you help us find clues to that safe base? Although I can invade their control system, most of the data has been destroyed by them, and only a small part can be restored..."
Peter shook his head, sighed and said, "It seems that my skills still need to be improved."
Stark walked over, pulled Peter over, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I told you a long time ago that you should come to my side and don't hang out with these unlearned people. Come here and let's study their
Control System……"
Peter was pulled away by Stark, and Steve was still stunned. He was full of anxiety, but he was also dissatisfied with Stark's attitude.
Steve can't read minds. He doesn't know that Stark is deliberately giving him a bad look. In fact, it's because of Barnes that if Steve doesn't mention this name, Stark will definitely accept his request for cooperation.
There is no other reason than that Stark's recent operation to destroy Hydra did not go well.
