The person who had almost overturned the ground outside had returned to the high platform in the middle of the dormant hall.
"Hi, Tony, you look exactly like I imagined when you grow up. Look at that beard, tsk tsk. I always wanted to grow it, but your mother wouldn't let you. But your armor is pretty good. Did you refer to my idea?
"
"...What's in the triangular toy you left me?"
"Of course it's a new elemental structure. You didn't notice it, right? This is not like a Stark. I think you will use it in some key places immediately."
"No, I found it, and it works very well."
Stark looked at the man in front of him who was exactly the same as he remembered, wearing a cocktail dress. The anger boiling in his heart towards his irresponsible father and the anger towards his father's murderer strangely neutralized each other and disappeared.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at the message displayed on the dormant cabin that the man came out of:
“[Winter Engineer ‘Howard Stark’, number 150, number of activations: 0]”
"[Sleep time: December 26, 1991.]"
"[Mind control progress: 0%]"
According to the time calculation, he "moved in" shortly after James Barnes went on the mission to "assassinate Howard". In other words, although Bucky's mission was to assassinate, this time it was not to "erase lives."
Instead, the target "disappears from society."
After the "assassination" was successful, Howard was deliberately brought under brainwashing control, which in turn proved that the scientific development direction he proposed was correct and valuable.
Thinking about it carefully, the SHIELD staff told themselves that their father and mother were not alive in the fire and explosion caused by the car accident, and the funeral coffin only contained some ordinary clothes...
These people don't even bother to cover up, and use this kind of excuse that can only deceive children to perfunctory themselves. How many Hydras are there among them?
“[Winter Infiltrator ‘Maria Stark’, number 151, number of activations: 0]”
On the other side, Stark's mother, a woman in an evening dress, also dragged Steve to reminisce.
"Isn't this dear Captain America? You look almost as young as us. Are you also frozen?"
"...In a sense, you are right, ma'am."
Almost young...Since she said that, she should take it as true.
"Then the person who is frozen with you must be Ms. Carter. Are you married? I remember that you were fascinated to death by her. Oh no, you should be the one who fascinated all the girls in SSR to death." Mary
Ya continued to ask.
"No, madam," Captain America looked a little embarrassed: "In fact, the information I received is that she has passed away."
"Hmm...?" Maria tilted her head in confusion: "But I remember that she also disappeared shortly after you disappeared. Is the SSR's work efficiency already so poor?"
"It's called S.H.I.E.L.D. now, ma'am," Captain America replied: "Now it's unfortunately been infiltrated by the enemy, and we're fighting to solve it, and Tony has made a huge contribution in this fight.
.”
"Is that so? Speaking of which, I remember many interesting things about this child when he was a child..."
"Really? I want to listen!"
————
With the addition of Natasha, the group successfully changed the atmosphere of the conversation from battlefield command to a Christmas party.
As the lowest-ranking and junior participant, Tony quickly gave up on the conversation and instead found James Barnes, or in other words, Barnes, who had been leaning against the wall in Steve's slightly worried eyes.
base.
"You obviously didn't kill my parents, why don't you explain?" Tony asked.
"Thaw, proceed in order, explanation, no need." Bucky looked at the armor on his body: "Weapons can't hurt me."
"If you still want to fight, I will fight with you to the end after you leave here," Tony glared at him and finally did not take action directly: "Aren't you brainwashed? Why do you look so normal? No, it's not actually too normal."
"Brainwashing does happen, but speaking does not." Bucky raised his hand and nodded his head: "If you read out the secret key, I will execute the order."
"[The scan results have been analyzed, sir,]" Jarvis said: "[The active parts of the normal human brain are 70% in a sleep state in Mr. Barnes's case. Although these parts can receive external signals, they cannot
There will be almost no response, presumably requiring specific words to activate them.]"
"So I just had a back-and-forth fight with a brain-disabled patient?" Tony glared at Bucky.
"[...the parts responsible for movement and balance are in the cerebellum and brainstem, sir.]" Jarvis avoided the topic.
"Then my parents..." Tony was mid-sentence, remembering "Mind Control Progress 0%" on the information panel, and decided to change the topic: "You said that the thawing will be carried out in sequence? This is inconsistent with the information we have obtained."
"..." Bucky blinked: "Captain, the operation was wrong."
"Okay, so what's the strength of these remaining people? Have they been brainwashed? Are they all like you and don't speak well?" Tony walked towards other dormant warehouses that were thawing: "Fortunately, I flew here this time.
Spacious enough.”
"I'm not sure about my speech, but my strength should be very strong." Bucky walked beside Tony and raised his hand to touch the display screen of the dormant cabin.
"[Winter Sentinel 'Babas', number 003, number of activations: 0]"
"[Sleep time: August 9, 1945.]"
"[Mind control progress: 100%]"
"[Winter Pioneer 'Zhuangzhuang', number 002, number of activations: 0]"
"[Sleep time: August 6, 1945.]"
"[Mind control progress: 100%]"
"So, if you haven't gone out on a mission, the sleep time and brainwashing progress will be displayed?" Tony put on the visor of the steel suit: "[I think it's time to fight this time.]"
"The number, before me, the strength was not clear." Bucky responded while putting his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
Tsk-tsk-
Just like what happened when Bucky and the Howards thawed, as the dormant chamber opened, a large amount of ice fog that made it difficult to see what was going on inside first came out.
Through the mist, the two of them could vaguely see an unusually tall and strong human figure, and they couldn't help but be on guard.
In the end, what emerged from the two dormant chambers was a "thin version of the Hulk" that was two times smaller than the Hulk, but equally huge, and... a native dog?
"[Zhuangzhuang wants to drink milk!]"
"Woof woof woof!"
...Did the guy who was responsible for selecting dormant objects in Hydra drink too much?
