"It's already a secret office, why are you hiding the elevator?" Steve Rogers frowned and realized that things were not that simple. This elevator must lead to some extraordinary place.
Natasha Romanov used her mobile phone to swipe the code lock on the elevator, a projection interface appeared, and she easily cracked the code.
After entering the password, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff took the elevator and arrived underground. When the elevator door opened, there was a dark room outside.
Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff looked at each other. They got out of the elevator and walked into the dark room. The elevator door behind the door closed with a bang.
At this moment, everyone in the answering room felt as if some man-eating beast was waiting for Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff in the darkness.
I don't know if there are wild beasts in the darkness, but there must be lights. As the two of them walked step by step, the lights in the room were turned on one by one, making them brightly lit.
Only then did everyone have a clear look at the situation in this room. There were many computers here, but they were different from the thin and light computers nowadays. Almost all the computers here were "big-bellied" and the screens were not LCD.
Old-fashioned computers that have long since been eliminated by history.
"This can't be a data source, these are all antiques." Natasha Romanov looked at the computers.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a data interface on the table and inserted the USB flash drive into it.
As if some switch had been turned on, all those antique computers were turned on at the same time.
"Do you want to turn on the computer?" Amidst the mechanical voice, a simple line of instructions appeared on the screen of a computer.
Natasha Romanoff walked up and typed "yes".
Then, lines of data flow began to flash on the computer screen, and a data face began to form.
"Steve Rogers, born in 1918." The electronic mechanical voice rang again, and an old-fashioned camera turned around, capturing the facial information of Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, "
Natasha Alia Lozna Romanov, born in 1984."
"What is this? A video?" Natasha Romanov said doubtfully.
"I am not some video, Miss." the electronic voice said, "I may not be the same person who was arrested and sent to prison by the captain in 1945, but I am still me."
At this point, another person's photo appeared on another computer screen. With this photo for comparison, it can be clearly seen that the previous data face is an abstract image of this photo.
"You know this thing?" Natasha Romanoff asked Steve Rogers.
"Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull." Steve Rogers said as he walked around the computers. "He has been dead for many years."
"First of all, let me correct you, I am Swiss." The electronic synthesized voice continued, "Second, look around you, I am more energetic than ever!"
"Could it be that these computers are this Arnim Zola?" In the answer space, Bruce Banner saw the clues, "He lives in the computer?"
"Consciousness should be stored in these computers." Tony Stark said, "What a madman, what's the point of living like this!"
"No way, people live in computers?" Thor felt it was too ridiculous. "How can those electronic components and circuit boards allow people to survive?"
In the video, Arnim Zola immediately gave the answer: "In 1972, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Science can no longer save my body, but my mind is worth saving and preserving. They are stored in a 200,000-year-old computer."
Feet long database, you are standing inside my brain right now."
"How did you get here?" Steve Rogers, who was already used to seeing people living in computers, asked.
"I was invited." Arnim Zola said.
"Operation Paperclip after the end of World War II." Natasha Romanoff thought about it. "SHIELD recruited many German scientists with strategic value."
"They thought I could help their career." Arnim Zola continued Natasha Romanov's words. "I also helped my own career."
"HYDRA and the Red Skull died together." Steve Rogers said.
"Cut off one head and two new ones will grow." The Hydra logo appeared on the computer screen, and then Arnim Zola's data face split into two.
"Prove it to me." Steve Rogers naturally would not be fooled by just a few words.
"Accessing the archive." A photo of the Red Skull appeared on the computer screen, and Arnim Zola explained, "The original belief of Hydra was not to give freedom to humans. What we didn't realize was that,
When you try to take away freedom, they will resist."
A picture began to play on the screen, and Steve Rogers, fighting in a Star-Spangled Suit, appeared: "The war taught us a lot. Human beings need to give up their freedom and give up voluntarily. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established, and I was
Recruit in. A new Hydra is growing, a beautiful parasite within S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers were a little stunned when they heard this. It turned out that Hydra, which they had always thought was eliminated, was actually still there, and had even infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Hydra has been secretly promoting various crises and benefiting from wars." The screen was still playing, and Arnim Zola was still explaining, "When history refuses to cooperate, it changes history.
."
"That's impossible," Natasha Romanoff said, "SHIELD will stop you."
"Accidents always happen." Arnim Zola ignored Natasha Romanoff and continued, "Hydra has created an extremely chaotic world, and humans are finally ready to sacrifice freedom in exchange for safety.
Once our evolutionary program is complete, Hydra's new world order will be born."
"We won, Captain." At this point, Arnim Zola's voice gained a hint of pride, "Your survival and death values are the same, both equal to 0."
boom!
Steve Rogers punched the computer, smashing the screen to pieces on the spot.
"Like I said..." Arnim Zola's data face appeared on another computer screen.
"What's in the USB flash drive?" Steve Rogers asked before Arnim Zola could finish speaking.
"The Insight Project needed insight, so I wrote an algorithm." Arnim Zola said.
"What kind of algorithm and what is it used for?" Natasha Romanov asked.
"The answer to this question is very fascinating, but it's a pity that I can't tell the answer to two dead people." As soon as Arnim Zola finished speaking, two iron doors slowly closed behind him.
Whoosh!
Steve Rogers quickly shot out his shield to stop it, but unfortunately it was a step too late. The elevator door had been closed just before the shield hit.
The shield then bounced back and was caught by Steve Rogers.
An alarm sounded on Natasha Romanoff's cell phone. She picked it up and looked at it, and her expression changed, "Steve, there is a flying object, a short-range ballistic missile. It has 30 seconds at most."
"Who sent it?" Steve Rogers asked.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.," Natasha Romanoff said.
"I'm so sorry, captain, I've been stalling for time." Arnim Zola spoke, "Just accept your fate. This is actually better. We are all the same, and the time is almost up."
During Arnim Zola's "Villain Talks Too Much" time, Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers naturally did not wait to die. The former pulled out the USB flash drive, and the latter pulled one from the ground.
The iron net was lifted, and the two of them jumped in together.
boom!
The missile hit the room, causing it to collapse, but fortunately Steve Rogers had a shield held above his head to protect him and Natasha Romanoff from harm.
Seeing this, everyone thought the video had ended, but no, the video continued, with a black man running on the bridge.
"It's that Birdman!" Tony Stark couldn't help but say. Although Sam Wilson was only a silhouette at this time, who else could appear in the video at this time besides him?
"It seems that the next plot is that Captain and Romanoff survived the missile attack and came to seek help from this winged man." Bruce Banner said.
The next plot was exactly as Bruce Banner predicted. After Sam Wilson came home from a run, he opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of juice to drink, but before he put it to his mouth, he heard a knock on the door.
.
When I opened the door, I saw Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff standing there with disgraced faces.
"Hey, man." Sam Wilson greeted.
"I'm very sorry for coming here unexpectedly, we need a place to hide." Steve Rogers said.
"Everyone we know wants to kill us," Natasha Romanoff added.
"Not everyone." Sam Wilson glanced at the two of them, then invited them into the room and closed the door.
"What's wrong?" At Sam Wilson's house, Steve Rogers noticed something was wrong with Natasha Romanoff's expression and couldn't help asking.
"When I first joined S.H.I.E.L.D., I thought I was on the right track." Natasha Romanoff looked very frustrated. "I didn't expect that I would end up working for Hydra in the end." She laughed at herself,
"I thought I knew who I was lying to, but now I can't tell."
"A person like you might not be suitable for this job," Steve Rogers said.
"I owe you my life." Natasha Romanoff was silent for a while, then looked at Steve Rogers and said.
"It's nothing," Steve Rogers said.
"If the two of us were reversed, if I needed to save your life, tell me the truth." Natasha Romanoff asked, "Do you trust me to save you?"
"Believe it now," Steve Rogers said, "I've always told the truth."
"You just realized that your sacrifice was in vain, and now you look very happy." Natasha Romanov said.
"Well..." Steve Rogers leaned back in his chair, "At least we know who our opponent is."
"So, the question now is who in the bureau has the authority to launch domestic missile attacks." Natasha Romanov began to get down to business.
"Pierce." Steve Rogers spits out a name.
"He's the head of the most secure building in the world," Natasha Romanoff said.
"He's more than one person, Zola's algorithm is based on the Lemurian Star." Steve Rogers said.
"Jasper Sitwell was on that ship," Natasha Romanoff said.
"So the real question is how two most wanted criminals kidnapped a senior SHIELD official in broad daylight." Steve Rogers said helplessly.
"The answer is, you're not going." Sam Wilson put down the breakfast he was making and threw some documents and photos in front of Steve Rogers.
Natasha Romanov picked it up and recognized it at just one glance, "This is Bakamara? It was you who did it, Halidha Aoi."
Sam Wilson defaults.
"You didn't say he was a pararescueman," Natasha Romanoff said to Steve Rogers.
"Is this Riley?" Steve Rogers asked, holding the photo, which showed Sam Wilson and another person.
"Yes." Sam Wilson nodded.
"Because there were rockets and we couldn't send a helicopter, we used a stealth parachute?" Natasha Romanov guessed.
"No, this is what I'm using." Sam Wilson picked up a document and handed it to Steve Rogers.
"I thought you were a pilot." Steve Rogers glanced at it and said in surprise.
"I never said that." Sam Wilson smiled.
Everyone knew that what Sam Wilson showed to Steve Rogers must be a photo of him wearing the pair of wings on his back.
"I can't ask you to do this." Steve Rogers closed the file. "You have good reason to retire."
"Man, Captain America needs my help, and that's the best reason to bring me back," Sam Wilson said.
At this point in the video, the plot ends again. The scene shifts to a rooftop, where Jasper Sitwell is roughly thrown to the ground, while Steve Rogers strode over.
"Tell me Zola's algorithm." Steve Rogers said.
"Never heard of it." Jasper Sitwell pretended to be stupid.
"What are you doing on the Lemurian Star?" Steve Rogers pressed.
Backing up, Jasper Sitwell stepped onto the low parapet and almost fell down, but was caught by Steve Rogers.
"Are you going to throw me down for such a trivial matter?" Standing on the edge of the building, Jasper Sitwell laughed, "This is not your style, Rogers."
"You're right, it's not my style." Steve Rogers stepped aside, "It's hers."
boom!
Without saying a word, Natasha Romanoff kicked Jasper Sitwell downstairs.
