[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

Days passed, and Tony's crisis was quickly resolved. At this time, SHIELD sent news: They salvaged the Rubik's Cube near Greenland!

"Why are you there?" When Bucky heard the news, his face was filled with disbelief.

Back then, the Rubik’s Cube disappeared with Captain America during World War II—and the last signal source of Captain America was Siberia. After that, Howard Stark didn’t believe that Captain America died, and kept searching for his whereabouts. Finally, Captain America was not found, but Found the Rubik's Cube. At the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, along with the civil strife in SHIELD, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube placed in SHIELD was stolen by Hydra, and it disappeared after that.

And now, it's happening again!The vicinity of Greenland is not the usual active area of ​​HYDRA, even if it goes back 100 years!

Why does the Rubik's Cube appear there?

"That's right here?" People from SHIELD have already surrounded Iceland. Tony refused to come because he had an appointment with a beautiful woman—although Bucky felt that the real reason was that Tony didn't want to see his father who had been looking for him all his life. The "substitute" that was not found - so Bucky is the only one here at this time.

He looked at the snow-white world that seemed vast and boundless, and asked in a low voice, "Is it found here? Didn't you find anything else?"

"I know what you want to ask." The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. walked up to Bucky and picked up his words, "No, we haven't found any signs of Hydra activity-from the situation on the scene, it's more like Accidentally left behind."

Although the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is familiar with this person, he is also unfamiliar: he is familiar because after he became a high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D., he will have to deal with this person. The other party is like the Hydra nemesis. Rui even wondered if he installed some Hydra base induction radar, so that wherever Hydra was active, he rushed to deal with them faster than anyone else.

It is strange because Nick Fury doesn’t even know the person’s real appearance, name and identity. Every time he appears, he always wears a mask, making it hard to see what he looks like—even when Nick Fury has become a god. The director of the SHIELD now, logically speaking, should have the highest authority, but he still doesn't know the background of this person. He can only infer from some clues he has. one of the helpers.

Other than that, Nick Fury only knows this man by his code name, The Winter Soldier.

However, recently I found out that the Winter Soldier is related to Stark, so maybe we can follow this clue to find out the true identity of the Winter Soldier... Nick Fury was thinking in his heart.

"Abandoned?" The man who had given himself the same name as the past was keenly aware of the weirdness of the wording.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, nodded and handed him a stack of photos, which were pictures of the ice and snow field taken by the person who first discovered the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube—due to the weather, on the way they came The heavy snow never stopped, and when they arrived, the traces had already been covered by heavy snow. Fortunately, modern camera methods can preserve it in the video data.

From the captured footage, Bucky quickly deduced something: "Someone passed by, it seems... and something else was transported?"

He looked at the traces that were obviously much deeper than the ruts of ordinary trucks and said.

"Yeah, we have a little bit of an idea of ​​what's being shipped off by people who don't know where it came from."

As he said that, Nick Fury took Bucky forward for a certain distance to another place: "Fortunately, the size and weight of that thing made the traces it left behind not disappear as quickly as ruts."

What appeared in front of the Winter Soldier was an unusually large crater, which looked very much like a meteorite falling.

"Strictly speaking, the Rubik's Cube should have landed here, and then it was taken away by the group of people together with the thing that caused the pothole. Somehow, it was lost on the road." Nick Fury shrugged and said.

"The force that transferred that thing should not be Hydra." The Winter Soldier said slowly.

With Hydra's obsession with the Rubik's Cube, how could it be dropped?

Nick Fury also agrees with his inference, but the investigation that should be done is still to be done: "I still don't know what the thing that was transferred is, I have someone call for monitoring-well, although this There are not many surveillances in one piece, but there are some, and I hope to find something."

Even if it is confirmed that it is not Hydra, they still have to continue to pay attention: if the other party does not know the mystery of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so they leave it as a useless thing and don't care, that would be the best.

but……

If the other party knows the mysteries of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but still doesn't care, and only pays attention to the thing that has been transferred...

So, what is that unknown existence that they regard as a treasure?

The Winter Soldier was also a little worried about this aspect, coupled with Hydra's obsession with the Rubik's Cube, he did not leave immediately, but turned around, looking for more clues.

Suddenly, he sensed a certain sight, and the sharp-sensing Winter Soldier immediately looked up, and found that the person looking at him was a man from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., with blond hair and blue eyes, profound and handsome features, and some young men. The childish lines, looks immature.

S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have the habit of recruiting underage employees, nor does it approve of this, so this should just be an agent with a rather immature look - at work, this face will somehow be easier to use than his colleagues Some.

Of course, in other situations, it may be more difficult than his colleagues...

Finding that the Winter Soldier looked over, the other party did not look away, but met his eyes directly—after looking at each other for a few seconds, he seemed to confirm something from his face, and he looked away indifferently, and turned around .

With a wrong eye, the Winter Soldier realized that he had lost track of that person? !

what happened? !

He was terrified in his heart, and ran over immediately, but he couldn't find that person anyway.

Nick Fury noticed his abnormality and walked over. After hearing what he said in a low voice and hurriedly, he immediately ordered the surrounding area to be sealed off, and at the same time showed the Winter Soldier all the personnel information transferred in this operation.

It contained no information about the man he had met.

While reaching this conclusion, both Nick Fury and the Winter Soldier were shocked:

Who is that?

After searching the area and finding no new clues anyway, the SHIELD staff evacuated the area, and the place that was once bustling with people returned to silence again.

In the middle of the night, the sky is covered with stars, and on the silent ice field, huge potholes exist quietly, seemingly unchanged forever.

Without a sound, a person appeared beside the pit.

He looked at the pothole under his feet that looked like a bottomless abyss at first glance, with a blank expression on his face.

The starlight fell on the ground, and the white snow field reflected all the light, so that people could see it in such a dark night, the man's golden hair was as dazzling as sun fragments.

There was a loud explosion, and another person appeared beside him. When he saw the former, he immediately touched his chest respectfully with one hand: "Master Mihail."

The blond boy didn't look back, but said indifferently: "Is there any whereabouts?"

The expression on the visitor's face immediately became uneasy: "No... I don't know what those No-Majs did, neither the Tracking Spell nor the Tracking Spell worked..."

Even if the results of the two types of spells intersect with each other, or even use the same spell to track and trace, there will be completely contradictory results.

All this made the wizard who knew everything about it believe that someone behind this was interfering with them.

The blond boy was silent for a while before saying, "It has nothing to do with those people."

A character at the level of a sorcerer has enough magic power to achieve interference, so that most people cannot use mysterious methods to track him. This is the most basic ability.

That was the power Alex used to protect himself—provided that she was unconscious.

Haven't woken up yet... If she wakes up, she will definitely find that someone is tracking her magically. According to Alex's personality, she will definitely track back to confirm who is spying on her. She recognizes the saint's mark, then It's time to restrain your own strength and expose your whereabouts to him...

When will you wake up?

at the same time.

Tony was staring blankly at the key that had just been dug out from a drawer in the study.

The key in front of it looks like it is made of copper, and its appearance looks very similar to the simple structure used in medieval castles. The problem is...

Tony picked it up and looked it up into the light.

The place where this key is placed is a very private place for him, a place that even Jarvis (the former housekeeper, not the AI ​​he makes now) cannot touch.

What he can put there are all his most precious things, but why...

"Why don't I remember having such a key at all?" Tony threw the key away with a puzzled face, "And where does this thing open?"

After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't come up with a reason. Adhering to the principle of "what I don't remember is definitely not important", Tony was going to put it anywhere, but for some reason, he made a wrong move, and finally Put it back in place.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that Tony's "Iron Man" level has become more and more proficient, and it is definitely others who are more dangerous than him when it comes to confronting people, the unclebucky of Tony's family has become a missing person again, and he doesn't know where he went to fight crime.

This frustrates Tony, who is used to sharing cookie doughnuts and his beloved hamburger, for a while.

It just so happened that at this time, there was a message from SHIELD that he was looking for something.

After arriving at the meeting place, Tony first saw an extremely tall man with blond hair and blue eyes who looked very familiar.

Staring at this suspected father who has been looking for his father for a lifetime, if he knew deeply that his parents were in love, or he would really worry about whether it was his father's true love, Tony looked away and looked at the person in front of the projection screen. Braised eggs—ah no, it's Nick Fury—and Tony himself didn't know why when he saw him, the idea of ​​"like a corned egg" suddenly popped up in his mind.

Obviously he has never tasted this kind of food from the East, but why does it seem like someone mentioned it to him in his memory?

"Okay, what's the matter?" The cynical playboy asked indifferently, throwing the pen in his hand.

"Tony, do you remember when we discovered the Rubik's Cube in Greenland three years ago?" Before that, he continued without giving Tony a chance to speak, "At that time, we found that someone had transported the contents of that pothole, together with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but the other party didn't seem to know the magic of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. place, so it was left on the ice sheet.”

"You mean to say that after three years of investigation, you finally found out who stole the Rubik's Cube?"

Nick Framer nodded after a while, "Yes. And we found that they are suspected to be researching a virus capable of destroying all human beings."

As he spoke, he clicked on the computer, and a company name appeared on the projection behind him.

el.

"Our people found that there was a problem with their base in Raccoon City. It happened that something happened to them and they were going to recruit mercenaries to investigate. So we arranged for people to sneak in as mercenaries to investigate the truth."

Tony had a bad feeling: "Who?"

Shrugging, motioned him to look at the conference room.

Tony turned his head and looked at the unknown little transparent (Clayte Barton: ???) who played bow and arrow, and the red-haired beauty (Natasha: thank you for the compliment) who almost cheated his feelings (this is doubtful), who has long admired her name and believed Dr. Banner who has a common language (the only Dr. Banner with a name: ...thank you?), and the blond "sweetheart" who is suspected of being his father's dream lover all his life (because he has been out of society for too long and has not realized each other In the cue, my own US team has no response)...

Tony's face was full of pain: "I think this operation task is too difficult-of course, the main difficulty is not in the task, but in the teammates."

One word is full of hatred.

If this is not the S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting room, but any other place where there is no boss watching, the snarky Iron Man may have enjoyed the loving care from his future comrades at this moment.

Nick Fury pretended not to hear: "Get along well."

Then turn around and leave.

After leaving the conference room, Hill greeted him: "Are you sure they can form a team?"

She knew that Nick Fury was preparing to form a team, code-named the Avengers, and the members inside were all pre-thought-out players, but looking at the current situation inside...

"That's why I gave them a small task, try it." Nick Fury shrugged, "If it doesn't work...call the Winter Soldier back, he can always hold Tony down."

Of course, he still didn't want to do this selfishly. After all, he didn't know the real body of the Winter Soldier until now. For Nick Fury, such an unknown person is really not as good as those who know the bottom line.

Like a bomb, no one knows when it will blow up.

For this reason, he even found Captain America and rescued him without telling the other party.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who doesn't know the real identity of the Winter Soldier, is also expecting Captain America to be his final trump card today.
