[Comprehensive] pragmatic theory of coquetry

"You want to go to Siberia?"

Charles Xavier showed little surprise when he heard the news.The cup in his hand finally changed from the hot tea he drank all day yesterday to hot cocoa. He doesn't drink coffee or alcohol recently, probably in order not to affect the work of his brain.

When he asked this sentence, the Winter Soldier and Lily were standing in front of him.

Lily tied wristbands on her hands, her blond hair was tied into a ponytail, and the tight black uniform on her body matched the Winter Soldier's suit just right.

Hearing the little professor's question, the Winter Soldier showed no expression, so she nodded first.

"You have to know, Mr. Barnes." Charles slowly swallowed the warm cocoa in his mouth, put the cup back on the desk, and said slowly, "Since we have found the target of Hydra, for our school, or Aegis Bureau, or ordinary people, you are already the number one hazard. It stands to reason that I should send the bad news that you and the other five Winter Soldier are still alive to SHIELD at the same time."

"Professor!" Lily immediately opened her eyes wide.

The little professor waved his hand, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and let Hank who was waiting outside come in, took the folder in his hand, opened it, took a look, and handed it to the Winter Soldier.

There are several profiles in there.

The first thing that caught the Winter Soldier's eyes was a face that could be called familiar.Despite the man's disfigurement, those who have been in Hydra in the past can still call him by name immediately.

Brock Rumlow.

The latter is also an acquaintance.

It is not difficult to guess why Sandy Thompson somehow escaped the pursuit of S.H.I.E.L.D. after the failure of the insight plan, and now appears on Charles Xavier's investigation list.

"After the Hydra information was leaked, Sandy Thompson obtained the information recording the Winter Soldier plan." Charles said, "The five Winter Soldier must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Hydra again."

"So I must go," said the Winter Soldier.

Professor X put his hand to his lips, but the original smile on his lips gradually disappeared: "We can negotiate a condition."

———————————

The SR-71 Blackbird secretly equipped by the Xavier Gifted Youth School set off three days later.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called the Blackbird—that jet-type long-range, high-altitude, high-speed strategic reconnaissance plane has been fully transformed by Hank, and has become a very dangerous big guy, and it disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The cabin is very spacious, and the six-seater seats are lined with buttons flashing red, orange and green.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Lily couldn't sit still and reached out to touch it, but Hank stopped it in time: "Before an emergency, it's best not to touch anything here."

She immediately retracted her hand: "Sorry."

"We're about to arrive in Siberia." He glanced down.

Stratus clouds were closed, almost completely covering the ground, as heavy as his mood at the moment.

Hank turned to look at the Winter Soldier.

I didn't see anything—a face was covered by a mask, and the pair of dark green pupils that looked over after feeling the line of sight were indifferent, reminiscent of him being tortured by brainwashing words and almost killing Charles. Xavier's face.

He's pretty cool now by comparison.

The Winter Soldier turned to look at Lily.

He hadn't wanted her to come with him.But when she held her hand silently, she couldn't say anything.

I know that this trip is by no means as smooth as it used to be for Hydra.If something goes wrong, there is a good chance of death in Siberia.

Lily took a deep breath.

The place where the blackbird landed was so desolate that only the white snow piled up on the black rocks could be seen.

The north wind howled so fiercely that it blew across his face like a knife blade.

The entrance to the dungeon that houses the Winter Soldier is hidden under a small cavern piled high with rocks.The two closed heavy iron gates are full of rust, but fortunately no trace of anyone has been found.

Hank reached out and pushed the door, motionless.Taking off Bai Mengmeng's glasses: "There should be a device to open the door."

As he spoke, the Winter Soldier raised his arm and ran it across the rough, cold wall to the right of the door.

When he touched the place that was nearly two bricks away from the base of the wall, his eyes froze, the bionic electronic arm gathered strength, and punched a hole in the wall with a "bang".

Half of the rusted metal dial hidden inside was exposed.A password is required to open this door.

After the hole in the wall was cleaned, the Winter Soldier pressed five numbers on the dial from memory.Almost as soon as he withdrew his hand, he heard a difficult and heavy sound from the two iron doors, and slowly opened a crack.Snow flakes fell from the door.Some fell on the surface of the military boots that came forward.

The Winter Soldier took off the scorpion assault gun hanging from his back, turned around and scanned the surrounding area before pushing the door open.

Dark and redundant.

Lily turned on the flashlight, and at the end of the light was a rather old elevator.

The three entered the cave one after another, with Hank at the end.

The elevator descended slowly, and when it stopped at the bottom floor, it trembled.

There was a stale and pungent smell from the ground.A row of small lights hanging on the top can still light up after the Winter Soldier presses the switch, which is not so that people can't see things.

Everywhere is covered with dust, and the feet step on the ground, leaving a mark.

There is a huge activity space below, the aisle is connected with the aisle, and exposed pipes can be seen everywhere.

"Follow me," said the Winter Soldier.

The three of them turned two corners and passed a door, which was probably a database, with shelves full of dusty documents.

But that's not the destination.

The destination is at the end of nowhere.

When I got closer and used the light of the flashlight, I realized that it was not the end, but a thick gate.

The Winter Soldier pulled the brakes and raised the door panel, but there was still a door panel inside.

After opening three doors in a row, I saw the real secret hidden inside.

Big—extremely big, wide enough to fit an SR-71 Blackbird, the huge and complex machinery on the four walls connects to the high ceiling.

There is light.The light came from five huge containers that looked like greenhouses, yellow and white, emitting white smoke.Strictly speaking, there are six.One of them has been opened, and in the other unopened greenhouses, sitting figures can be vaguely seen.

The central area surrounded by the container was full of equipment, which made Lily feel terrified.

She has seen the memories of the Winter Soldier, and the words "brainwash him" in the chaotic picture are such machines.

The other five Winter Soldier sleep in the dark underground.This moment is here.

The Winter Soldier's body reacted one step ahead of his thoughts, and walked quickly to the container, looking at the familiar "it" inside that broke his hand bone, his trembling eyes were covered with a layer of icy coldness. of frost.

"They're still alive," he said.

Lily walked to his side and reached out to shake his hand.Seeing him looking back, he opened the small bag he was carrying, took out a few miniature bombs, and handed them to him: "James."

The bombs passed through the hands of the Winter Soldier one by one, and stuck to the five containers.

"This thing is too powerful, we must wait for us to evacuate before detonating, otherwise..."

Hank's unfinished words suddenly fell silent.

As soon as his voice stopped, the Winter Soldier straightened his body almost instantly. When Lily turned his head, the muzzle of the assault gun in the Winter Soldier's hand was aimed at Rum, who was standing behind Hank and holding the gun to control the hostages. lo.

More than one person.

The woman in black beside Rumlow also had a gun in her hand, and the woman was pointing at Lily with a smile.

"My fault." Hank said angrily, "I didn't expect..."

Three more agents came out from behind.

He naturally did not expect the Hydra to arrive so quickly.quietly.I don't know when they started to track the whereabouts of the Winter Soldier and Lily, and when they arrived here, they just happened to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Long time no see." Sandy said to Lily, "Little Lily."

She smiled sweetly, but the camouflage used to cover the mechanical eyes of her left eye has been removed, and she looks a little scary at this moment: "All that is sleeping here is the hard work of the entire Hydra, wouldn't it be a waste to destroy it so easily?"

Sandy's smile suddenly stopped: "Of course you don't think so. A traitor."

Lily was pointed at by the gun, she didn't dare to act rashly, she twitched the corner of her mouth coldly: "I can't see your days, I'm happy like a fairy."

"You're going to be brave now."

Sandy wanted to say something, but was reprimanded by Rumlow in a rough voice: "Detonator!" Immediately shut up, he turned to Winter Soldier and said, "If you don't want the little lover's head to explode, you'd better throw the weapon on you Come here. With the detonator."

"James." Lily immediately turned to look at the Winter Soldier.

What was written in her eyes naturally made him see clearly, but after hesitating for two seconds, he still untied all the weapons on his body, took out the detonator from her bag, and put them on the ground together , Throw it at the hydra.

With hostages in hand, the Winter Soldier is as docile as a cat.

But victory seemed to come too easily.

Rumlow and Sandy looked at each other, seeing the vigilance and suspicion in each other's eyes, and the hands holding the gun tightened simultaneously.

"Actually, if you can return to Hydra, we welcome you, soldier." Sandy said.

Rumlow laughed hoarsely, and the ruined flesh on his face moved a little frighteningly: "My face turned into such a ghost, he has to share [-]% of the credit."

The gun in his hand pressed Hank's temple more and more firmly. He took the hostage a few steps forward, licked Lily's face with his eyes, and said, "Anytime you move around, it will make Geers' forehead open beautifully." Dong... In order to thank you, I have prepared a gift."

For some reason, Lily groaned in her heart, and stared fiercely at Rumlow: "Your goal has been achieved."

"My purpose is not." Rumlow's smile became more ferocious, he looked at the Winter Soldier, and then looked away at the five Winter Soldier behind him who were still asleep and unable to perceive the outside world. It was a pity, "It's a pity that they can't now Let's listen together..."

Hearing this, Lily immediately understood what he wanted to do, and her face turned pale: "No!"

Turning his head to meet the Winter Soldier's eyes, he begged, "James..."

Can't speak anymore.

Rumlow vaguely felt that something was wrong, but when he moved his mouth, "желание" was already blurted out.

The Winter Soldier closed his eyes.

After reading the ten Russian words one after another, when Rumlow said "soldier", he opened his eyes again, looking at her as if he was looking at a stranger.

Lily took a step back, her pleading expression gradually changed to panic: "James."

no answer.

All that comes out of the Winter Soldier's mouth is the deadly, emotionless "Attempt to order."

Another nightmare.

There was crazy pleasure in Rumlow's eyes, and he spoke slowly, his words sounded like a devil's voice: "I want you to kill Lily Geers."

Lily took another step back, and there was no way to retreat—the big hand of the Winter Soldier quickly grabbed her neck.

The breath she breathed was stuck in her throat, and she seemed to feel the suffocation of her throat tightening immediately, and she reached out to break his fingers based on her survival instinct.

It's just that halfway through the finger-wrestling movement, she suddenly flipped her wrist——

The next second, the weapons in the hands of the Hydra flew out as if being pulled by some force, and those thrown by the Winter Soldier on the ground all flew in the direction of Lily.

Rumlow's shock failed to turn into an exclamation, but was overturned to the ground by Hank who turned around.

Two of the three agents standing behind rushed up, trying to grab the flying weapon, but the last one turned around and ran away, and then there was a bang, and the gate began to fall rapidly.

Hank flew out and punched the agent who was trying to escape in the chaos, and heard a gunshot. He was about to press the falling gate, but found that the switch was completely smashed by the damn agent.

There was another shot from inside.

Hank rushed under the gate, crouched low and shouted, "Get out!"

But the Winter Soldier was pointing a gun at Sandy lying on the ground, and Lily was only a few steps away from Sandy.

The other two agents are dead.

Hearing Hank's yell, instead of leaving, the two of them didn't choose to leave, but Lily stretched out her hand towards the other end: "You go." With a sudden flick, the gate slammed down, completely blocking the two ends.

"Impossible..." Sandy was half prone and half kneeling on the ground, the detonator in his hand was only a few centimeters away, but Lily stepped on the detonator lightly at this moment.

She looked at her, then at the Winter Soldier, the parts that fell off the mechanical eye fell to the ground: "Impossible."

"We started three days later than planned..." Lily bent down to pick up the detonator from the ground, blew off the dust on it, and stood side by side with the Winter Soldier, with the look of fear on her face, "You What do you think they suddenly tracked us down?"

Hank stayed outside and did not leave. He was still trying to open the gate. He suddenly felt the ground shake for a while, and then he heard a loud explosion inside, and his expression changed immediately.
