[Zhongyingmei] Who is my father?

After leaving the basement level and exploring deeper, Joyce and Zero did not encounter any decent interceptions.

The gunshots and vibrations from downstairs gradually faded away, but even so, the faint sound of explosions could still be heard echoing in every corner of the air.Joyce looked up worriedly. The dim lights in the corridor fluctuated, and the shadows falling on his face were constantly changing shapes, always giving people an unreal feeling of impending doom.

He took two Avengers and his roommates into the most heavily guarded base of his old club. There must be Hydra's minions everywhere outside, and the three killers who are most likely to tear them apart are at the top of his head. People who have been fighting for a long time, Joyce doesn't know why he has not completed this operation perfectly... He has been going through life and death for others for a long time, but there are people who do this for themselves (and there are quite a few of them), at this time Getting in easily can feel stressful.

"if……"

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips tightly.Joyce followed Zero to search the laboratories they could find one by one, but found nothing. The expression on his face inevitably became a little irritable.

And Zero could naturally feel the change in him, holding a slender beaker and turning his head, his expression was calmer than Joyce expected.

"No action has a 100% success rate, and you know that."

He said so softly.Although he was talking to his secondary personality, Joyce always felt that what he said was also speaking to himself: "If you can't find it, just keep looking for it. There is no one here, and there are always other places. There will be."

And things are far from desperate.Iron Man and Dr. Banner promised to do their best to solve Joyce's problem, and Thor would not hesitate to help if he wanted to.While his time was indeed limited, there was still much they could do before their destinies arrived.

...it is.

Nodding his head, he felt that he was really thinking too much, and he was still struggling with this kind of problem emotionally.Joyce took a deep breath, let go of all the emotions he shouldn't have, and concentrated on dealing with the situation they were facing right now.

"We have to find the warehouse first."

After thinking about it, he quickly opened his mouth to speak based on his experience of slapping his claws everywhere.Joyce knew very well that in the laboratory it might be possible to find some of Hydra's research progress on 'Project Z', or some of the reagents they used for experiments or improvements.But they didn't come to visit their research results this time. For gene stabilizers, which are already practical and mass-produced, instead of trying their luck in these laboratories, it's better to go directly to the storage room to search Hipaw's inventory.

"I think so too." The thinking pattern was basically the same as the other party's, and Zero showed approval.As former Hydra killers who have been in similar places, they certainly know what the opponent's operating mode is: "However, if we want to find such a place, we may have to go down to the next level."

However, it is often the place closest to the foundation, the more secrets there are, and the more heavily guarded it is.

Some, maybe even they can't handle it.

"Be careful." Joyce said in a deep voice.Now that they are determined to go deeper into the core of this place, they must work hard.

They checked each other's equipment to make sure there was nothing missing.The two just walked into the stairs leading to the third underground floor, and stepped into the most secret place of the base.

cold.

This is what Joyce first felt at this level.Generally speaking, in such a deep place underground, the temperature is already much lower than that on the surface. In addition, Hydra built the cold storage room for storing specimens and reagents here, so it is not surprising to feel this way.

"Looks like we've found the right place."

Walking deeper along the place with the most air-conditioning, Joyce and Zero guarded the surroundings, and soon found the place they were looking for, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you think there is someone inside?" Zero put away his gun, pressed his right hand on the closed electronic door in front of him, and asked casually.

"How is that possible. The temperature inside is close to minus [-]. It is impossible for someone to choose to ambush us here." After a moment of silence, Joyce immediately replied.But out of trust in Zero, he felt that the other party should not ask himself such a question abruptly, and he was a little suspicious that he had missed something: "Did you hear something?"

"No."

Take out the device and connect it to the pupil identification lock by the door, trying to break through the defense here. Zero shook his head, but his expression did not reveal any relaxed emotion: "I just have a hunch."

"What intuition?"

Compared with the fact that I have always been my own master, I am more sensitive.Joyce frowned. Although this sentence sounded like a joke, he understood that the other party was not someone who would talk nonsense at such a time, and he would not be stupid enough to ignore a killer in such a crisis. Earth's sixth sense.

Zero didn't answer right away.He just pressed a few times on the device, and soon, the electronic lock in front of him turned on a green light for the two of them, the metal door slowly slid open, and white cold air visible to the naked eye drifted out from the crack of the door, almost knocking them away in the blink of an eye. Submerged from start to finish.

at the same time.

The infinitely magnified hearing due to the obstructed vision caught the small wind sound. Zero pulled out the gun violently, and pulled the trigger forward to the right without hesitation. Soon, the muffled sound of bullets colliding with flesh and blood came faintly.And when he moved the muzzle of the gun to another direction, there was already a sound of piercing the air passing by his ears.When the air-conditioning dissipated, two Hydra agents were already lying on the ground, one was pierced by a bullet between the eyebrows, the other had a tactical knife stuck in his throat, and conspicuous frost quickly formed on the body.

"Is there really an ambush?" Looking at the two corpses in front of him in a little surprise, Joyce withdrew his hand throwing the knife and turned to look at his companion: "You haven't told me what your intuition is."

"It's a fact now." Zero's expression darkened: "Someone is watching us."

The cold storage is not a place for living people to stay, even with professional cold protection equipment, it is impossible to set up an ambush here.And the fact that the other party can do it can only mean that Hydra knows the whereabouts of the two in advance and when they will arrive.Zero couldn't think of an explanation other than that they were being watched.

Then things are more troublesome.

Although I didn't expect that Hydra would not fight back at all and let them come and go freely, but if they were really monitored, they would fall into a passive state most of the time.Joyce and Zero looked at each other, seeing the same decision in each other's eyes.Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, they can only speed up, rush to the market to complete the task and evacuate.

Thinking of this, the two entered the refrigerator one after another, and soon found what they needed on the shelf in the corner.

"It should have been improved recently."

I took a closer look at the blue gene stabilizer in front of me. Although the color is lighter than the one I used before, the effect should not change much.Joyce nodded, and after confirming, he reached out and put his hand against the lid of the placed container, allowing Zero to take out the contained stabilizer.

"move."

Carefully putting the stabilizer into his arms, Zero immediately grabbed Joyce's wrist and dragged him towards the door.Although their bodies have been specially modified, they will not be irreversibly damaged if they are exposed to low temperature for a long time.And he always had a very bad feeling about this place, since they walked down the third floor, as if this floor buried

Something very repulsive -- not to himself, but to Joyce.

And this feeling became more obvious when they walked into the corridor.

"I hate it here."

It was rare for him to utter a sentence with such intense emotion from his mouth, Zero frowned, his eyes were like those of a wolf cornered in the wilderness.

"I dont like it either."

Although the feeling is not as sharp as the other party's, but after having the evidence, the uncomfortable feeling of being watched is almost like a shadow.If they could find some electronic device, he might be able to connect to Iron Man's AI and find out who was watching them from behind the surveillance cameras.It's just that along the way, all the computers have been artificially destroyed. Joyce didn't feel it before, but now it seems that this may have some ulterior motives.

"We..." Do you want to remind Wade and them.

Looking at Zero, Joyce said so.But before he finished speaking, both of them heard a slight sound of mechanical operation at the same time, and the isolation door above their heads was suddenly slammed down heavily, forcing them to dodge immediately, even wiping the corners of their clothes to dodge.If the reaction was a second slower, it would probably have been crushed in two by the heavy isolation door.

What's more terrible is that because Joyce and Zero subconsciously hid in different directions, they were directly separated by the two ends of the door.

"Zero!"

The right hand slammed heavily on the isolation door, but it didn't even leave a mark.Joyce gritted his teeth, and immediately turned on the communication, trying to get in touch with the suddenly separated party: "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Obviously, he was also extremely annoyed by this sudden plot.Joyce heard several muffled sounds of metal arms slamming on the door, as well as gunshots, but he was helpless against this special isolation door.

"This material is shockproof. If it is not controlled by a machine, it is basically impossible to open it manually." Joyce said after looking at the door in front of him.

"I know." Zero paused for a few seconds before replying.At the same time, a crisp sound of guns being loaded was also transmitted through the current, accompanied by a subtle sound of piercing the air, and was immediately drowned in the overwhelming sound of gunfire.

It is obviously impossible for a person to make a movement.

"Zero?"

Joyce suddenly raised his voice, and his tone became anxious.However, Zero's reply arrived together with the roar of the bullet being ejected, but it was unknown whether it was because of the ground or something. The signal was not stable, and even the other party's voice was fragmented.

"Someone...attacked...more...stay where you are...wait for me..."

Tried hard to distinguish, but could only receive a few incoherent sentences.And after a crackling noise, the channels of the two were suddenly cut off, no matter the gunfire, the noise, or the intermittent voice of Zero disappeared, the dead silence in the headset, exhausted all methods Unable to connect to original communication.

At the same time, Joyce raised his head sharply.

The overhead lights began to flicker non-stop, casting flickering shadows on the ground.And at one point, it's like a communication cut off suddenly.The lights around Joyce also dimmed, enclosing him in darkness where he could not see his fingers.

Only the dark red light spot in the distance, like a trap to lure prey, is attracting him to go.
