The United States has never been hit so hard. The White House was burned down, the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists, and New York was invaded by aliens. But after everything is over, people will stand up from the ruins and pat their bodies. Dust, move on.

But the moment Congress exploded, people became confused.

What do we do, who is the target next time, and why do we keep suffering from such horrible nightmares?

Is it the end of the world?

The titan heroes rushed to Congress that night to rescue the wounded in the fastest way. When the Green Lantern used the energy of the ring to remove all the wreckage, they were disappointed and none of them survived.

Sol yelled his mother's name, and he dug up the wreckage of the parliament with great force, and finally found only a crown, which belonged to Queen Frigg. Asgard's metal material is hard and not easy to damage , and it became the sole survivor in Congress.

Thor sank to the ground and slammed the hammer on the ground, nearly causing an earthquake.

The reporter of A is still verifying the list of victims and broadcasting to the audience in front of the TV: "The president, members of Congress, the Supreme Justice, the Secretary of State, all members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all members of the cabinet, and Asgard Germany's ambassador, Queen Frigg... except for the newly inaugurated President Rogers who was temporarily sent by the former president to Vienna to participate in the space conference, it has been confirmed that all of them were killed."

Bucky has led a team of people into the ruins to continue searching for possible traces of life, although it has been proved impossible by Tony, he has already let more than 30 steel armor scan all possible corners of Congress.

Lucy sat blankly on a piece of gravel, which was once a part of the country's supreme power, but now it was just a stone.There was a sudden commotion from the crowd. A black car stopped outside the Congress. Interim FBI Director Barbara Gordon went up to meet him. Rumlow got out of the car. The White House Secret Service separated to block the swarming reporters.

"Mr. President, you shouldn't be here. It's still a dangerous time." Barbara bent down, and she persuaded Steve not to come out. She tensed up and looked around for possible ambush points.

The expression on Steve's marble-like face was heavy and condensed, and the chiseled lines moved. Barbara was swept away by his clear eyes, as if stunned by frost.

"People outside need me, Gordon." Steve's slender legs stepped out, he wrapped his windbreaker tightly, ignoring the flashing lights and the poking microphone, he walked towards the Congress, the white building was still scattered In the smoke of gunpowder, Steve was standing among the gravel, wearing a black coat, with his hands in his pockets, slightly lowered his noble head, his blond hair was fluttering in the strong wind, his eyes were still a little red, as if this strong man Soldiers were not immune to the ending of crying for the bad news.

The reporters quickly pressed the shutter and recorded this bleak scene. Steve, dressed in black, stood in front of the fragments of the white marble column that was stained gray and black, and the air was filled with dust and sparks.The collapsed Congress is the graveyard of the country's elite. This grand state funeral has no guard of honor and no music. The sporadic explosions are the sound of its cannons. The only people present at the funeral are the "designated survivors."

Steve Rogers.

His eyes slowly scanned every inch of the devastated building, and finally fell on Lucy who was sitting on the gravel.

Their eyes met, and Lucy staggered to her feet, her lips trembling.

"Steve." Lucy ran over, falling on Steve like a snowflake, wet his coat with tears.Lucy finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

Steve held Lucy's back, welcomed her into his arms, and warmed her with his own body temperature. Lucy listened to his steady heartbeat, once, twice, until at this moment, he even The frequency of his heartbeat didn't change at all, as if the terrifying scene in front of him couldn't touch his strong will at all. "It's going to be alright," Steve said softly, "everything will be alright."

He hugged Lucy again, Bucky came out from the ground, he cast a worried look, Steve looked at him, he shook his head slightly, indicating that there were no survivors, Steve's hug was tighter , and he sighed, as if he was relieved.

The Secret Service cleared the way for Vice President Rogers. They involuntarily blocked all those who tried to approach them, and left a stern warning. The group got off the elevator and walked into the Presidential Emergency Command Center, which is under the East Wing of the White House. , can withstand the attack of a nuclear bomb, even if the entire White House is flattened, it can still issue various commands and communicate with the outside world.

It was chaos when Steve walked in, people running and shouting for more accurate information, and then waves of disappointment flooded the command center like sea water.Steve thumped the table twice.

"I'll give you 1 minute to figure out where you are. We're going to set up a temporary military joint meeting."

The director of the CIA, the director of the DHS, the director of the FBI, the entire military system is abolished, and all of you are interim acting directors, and they don't have any time to accept this. They must take the place of those who died now. .

Lex Luthor replaces Steve as new White House chief of staff asks: "Who's responsible for this bombing?"

"No," said an Army general who replaced Ryan, "but I think it's IS..."

"I don't think here, I want to be sure." Steve said, "Barbara Gordon, pull out all the people, prepare to build a surveillance network, track down all suspicious elements, I will sign an executive order within 24 hours , Restart the "Patriot Act", the police can view anyone's emails, photos, and homepages without restriction, and if you finalize the suspect, you will get a search warrant in the fastest time."

"clear."

"Where is the Interim Foreign Minister?"

"I am." A capable middle-aged woman stood up.

"Happening?"

"Iran's warships blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Forty heads of state called to express their condolences and said that they had nothing to do with the attack. Other countries have called in one after another. Do you want to reply?"

Steve sneered when he heard the news: "I will meet the Iranian ambassador to the United States in the Oval Office within half an hour, and nothing else matters."

Half an hour later, when the Iranian ambassador to the United States calmed down his nervousness about meeting the President of the United States and walked into the Oval Office, he saw the legendary Captain America, who was almost the symbol of the American spirit, sitting on the sofa , looking at him with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

There is a folder in front of him.

"Mr. Ambassador, your country's destroyer seems to have done something inappropriate." Steve said, "The Strait of Hormuz is an international seaway. I suggest that the president of your country study international law."

The Iranian ambassador shook his throat: "Mr. President, I think your news is wrong. We have not blocked the Strait of Hormuz, we are just doing routine patrols..."

"Do you know how many things outside are waiting for me to finish, if it is normal, I would spend the whole day to argue with you whether you have stepped on the edge of international law or really broke the law, but now my patience There aren’t that many more.” Steve opened the folder, and there was a thin sheet of paper with the double-headed eagle national emblem of the United States printed on it, and Steve signed the first half of his name on it, and then the ambassador I read the words above.

"No!" The Iranian ambassador pulled out the folder in a desolate manner, and even used his own hand to block the sharp pen tip. Even if someone put a gun on his head and asked him to put down the file, he would never let go. Because as long as Rogers signs the last letter, the United States and Iran will be in an absolute state of war, and the capital of Iran will disappear overnight like the bombed Congress, and the United States will always use money and consistent rhetoric in the United Nations Whitewash yourself as a righteous defender, but what about Iran?They will be thrown in the dust and run over by the wheels of history.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Steve did not stop the Iranian ambassador, his indifferent eyes shot a sharp light at the ambassador, "From now on, you have to be very careful and talk to me carefully, because I Nervous right now, like America, don't piss off my sensitive nerves, because I always leave everything to my instincts in times of crisis."

The Iranian ambassador calmed down: "I will communicate with my government."

"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador," Steve said, and he sent the Iranian ambassador out the door. There was no doubt that Iran would not ignore his threat and they would withdraw their troops.

Steve sat quietly for a while before answering Tony Stark's call.

"Tony, do you remember the nanobots you said last time?" Steve asked, "Are you sure it can work on humans? No, we don't have time to do human trials. The country has entered a state of emergency. I will donate my blood as a research sample of super soldier serum, and anyone who aspires to become a super soldier can inject the serum, supplemented by nanobots to control their own behavior."

It seemed that the other party was vehemently raising their own objections, but Steve calmed down the other party's doubts: "This is not a secret experiment. I will openly recruit soldiers. They will sign the agreement and become our candidate soldiers for temporary operations. I Will directly sign the executive order to pass it."

As for Congress?Congress is empty, Steve thought, and now is a time when any order he issues becomes the will of the nation.

Steve put down the phone, he wrote a line of words on the paper on the table, tore it up and handed it to Luther, letting him perfect his idea.

Luther looked at the stern writing on the paper:

"Son of a Patriot."

Lucy reacted more violently than ever, and she firmly disagreed with the plan.

"No!" Lucy screamed, and she lowered Tony's hand, which was about to pack the nanobots, in vain to block his movement, "This experiment cannot be carried out, Tony, did you hear me! Listen to me!"

Tony clenched his fists, he hesitated, on the one hand, anger washed over his reason, he couldn't wait to hand over the nano-robots to Steve, let him build a "Sons of Patriots" army, and guard the peace.On the one hand, worry was burning his heart again, and he faintly felt that something might be wrong, but he couldn't tell.

"Lucy, Steve promised, it's not a secret experiment, it's open recruitment, people voluntarily give their all, become 'sons of patriots', they still keep everything, and we hold the switch, once The state of war is over, their nanobots are like a detox out of their bodies, and they're normal again."

"I don't agree because you are all messed up by the attack now!" Lucy yelled, she looked at Bucky, wanting him to say something, and Bucky himself was hesitating, he faintly felt that something was wrong , but his natural trust in Steve made him question himself.

Lucy took a deep breath, her fingers trembling, and she tried to make her point clear: "Whether the experiment is secretly illegal or openly legal, I'm going to stop it. I'm not worried about someone stealing this However, in the current irrational state, once the Son of Patriot’s plan starts, no one can stop it.”

Think about it, they will create an all-powerful army with a mission above all else, and countless people who have been dazzled by the anger of the attack will sign up to become the defenders of the United States.And then what?When people and nano-robots become one, there will be a society without weaknesses, a society without negative emotions, where there is love among neighbors, and people are filled with joy and gratitude every day, even if there are conditions for crimes, and people have forgotten How to treat others maliciously.When people see a successful sample, they will enthusiastically promote it and popularize it, why not?

Such a world is the ultimate utopia.

Who wouldn't want a world like that?

But do humans still deserve to be called humans?

In normal times, the Senate and the Ethics Committee would have been the ones pouring cold water, and now they're gone, and the country is in a state of grief, emptiness, and rage, and even Steve Rogers has ordered that, This made Lucy feel real fear.

Tony stopped packing, which relieved Lucy, who understood that Tony was listening.

But then they heard a rumbling thunder, and the sunlight outside the window dimmed. It seemed that some huge object blocked the sun. They all ran out to see that a city was hanging upside down in the sky.

Tony fell to the ground, the scene was so familiar, it was exactly the same as in his nightmare.

Thor swung his sledgehammer, floating in the air, watching the city, falling on the suspended platform of Stark Industries.

Lucy and Bucky opened their mouths, and Bucky looked at the hanging city in disbelief: "What is that? What happened?"

Thor said in a deep voice, "That's my home, Asgard."
