The car was speeding on the asphalt road, and the engine made a loud buzzing sound.
But if you exclude the sound of the engine, after Leo asked those words, there was only silence in the car.
After a long time, Bucky said:
"Although I have always wanted to get rid of Hydra's control. But after I really succeeded, I suddenly didn't know where to go.
I am familiar with the United States more than forty years ago, not now. In today's era, there is no one I am familiar with! At present, apart from seeking revenge from the Hydra organization, there is nothing else that interests me.
thing.
What’s even more annoying is that I can’t compete with the Hydra organization on my own!”
Bucky angrily hit his left palm with his right hand, looking very disappointed.
"How about you follow me?"
Seeing that Bucky had no plans for the future, Leo tentatively extended an invitation to Bucky and said,
"I have some things to do, but I lack available manpower. Moreover, the portable signal jammer treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although I destroyed the control terminal in Sienna's hand, Dr. Zola can still make another one. You are on your own.
, there is also the risk of being re-controlled.”
"Of course! In the process of escaping from the base, I was a burden and didn't help much. I always felt very guilty. It can even be said that it was Leo who tried your best to rescue me from the Hydra base.
I owe you my life."
After listening to Leo's suggestion, Bucky's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement without hesitation. Then he took out the portable signal jammer in his pocket.
"The chip in my brain is indeed a big problem. And I don't know much about these electronics. Without you, if this thing breaks, I won't be able to find anyone to fix it!
Thank you, Leo. It's great that you're willing to take me in."
Leo felt a little speechless when he saw Bucky taking such initiative. There were a lot of lies in his stomach that were of no use.
He touched his nose, then pointed at the portable jammer and said:
"There really aren't many people who can repair this thing, and the power supply inside is only enough for you to use it for a month. It seems like you really can't live without me now...
Then Bucky, just follow me first, I will find a way to completely remove the chip in your brain. By then, you will probably have adapted to this new era and have your own hobbies. Then you can do it yourself
Decide to stay or go."
Bucky nodded in agreement and sincerely thanked Leo again.
Leo laughed twice, then drove the car with one hand, raised the other hand and said to Bucky:
"Then it's settled. Come on, give us a high-five to celebrate our freedom!"
Snap!
The Winter Soldier's iron palm and Leo's right palm clapped together, and then Leo laughed happily.
The Winter Soldier thought Leo was happy because he had regained his freedom, but he also giggled and sighed:
"Leo, you look much happier and more optimistic now than you did in the Hydra base!"
"Really?! The same goes for you! Maybe Hydra itself is a depressing place, which is why I always want to leave there!"
Leo was happy, of course, not just because he successfully escaped from the Hydra base. What he was really happy about was that he kept Bucky by his side, and Bucky looked quite determined.
In this way, Leo not only gains a powerful thug, but he can also use Bucky to build a relationship with Captain America in the future.
Captain America is a bug-like existence. No matter how strong the enemy is, he can force a 50-50 split. He is also upright and loyal. Although he seems a bit pedantic for the sake of the national interest, he is also a person worth getting to know deeply.
It is certainly worth being happy for Leo to have a good friend like this in the future.
When Leo was thinking about the future and singing and drinking with Captain America, Bucky suddenly asked an important question:
"Leo, you just said you have something to do, so where should we go now?"
"Go to New York! New Yorkers are in trouble every day, let's go and help!"
Leo laughed and drove the off-road vehicle speeding on the road.
…
Twenty minutes later.
On the road next to a gas station, the smile on Leo's face gradually solidified. He turned to Bucky and asked:
"Bucky, you...have you brought any money?"
Bucky:……
The fuel tank in the off-road vehicle has reached the bottom, and it is estimated that it will not be able to travel even 10 kilometers. The sign outside the gas station reads: [100 kilometers ahead, Minnesota.]
The off-road vehicle that Leo and the others drove didn't even have a license plate. And they didn't have legal status, so they didn't dare to take the road.
Therefore, it would take them at least several days to drive from Minnesota to New York. But now, the two of them don't even have a penny in their pockets...
After thinking about it, Leo didn't come up with any good solution. He couldn't give up driving now and walk to New York City!
Leo bit the bullet and drove the car to the gas station machine and stopped.
"Bucky, you go open the gas tank and be ready to fill it up with gasoline. I'll go chat with the staff at the counter."
In the convenience store next to the gas station, there was only a mixed-race aunt wearing glasses. She was sitting behind the counter, lowering her head and sorting out the receipts on hand.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in front of her:
"Machine No. 1, fill up the oil."
"30 US dollars is enough, plus the service fee, you get 33 US dollars. The POS machine is broken and only accepts cash."
However, when she finished speaking, no one handed over the money. She looked up in confusion and found that there was a pistol pointed at her in front of her.
The mixed-race aunt was so frightened that she took a few steps back and raised her hands in the air. The seat was knocked down by her.
The hoarse voice sounded again:
"Machine No. 1, fill up the oil."
"Okay...ok, just fill it up...just fill it up."
She operated the machine at the counter and said, "The machine is on, you can add as much as you want."
But the man with the gun did not leave. He still pointed the gun at the mixed-race aunt and said nothing.
"I have money here, how much...how much do you want?"
The mixed-race aunt took the money out from under the counter and piled it on the counter, but the gun was still pointed at her and she remained motionless, "Please, don't kill me! You can have anything you want..."
At this time, the roar of a car was heard outside the convenience store, accompanied by a loud whistle.
Leo then put away his gun, ran out of the convenience store with his head lowered, and climbed into the passenger seat. Bucky stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared, and the entire off-road vehicle sped out and disappeared along the road.
The mixed-race aunt recovered from her shock. She picked up the phone next to her, pressed 911, and shouted:
"No. 007 gas station on Luotang Highway, my place was robbed, my place was robbed."
But when the police arrived at the gas station, there was no trace of Leo and Bucky.
…
Leo sat in the passenger seat, touched his nose and said with a bitter smile:
"Hey, I didn't expect that! The first thing I did after leaving the Hydra organization was robbery!"
"I can see that your movements are very unfamiliar. Why don't you let me go?"
"Are you very skilled in your business? Besides, your robotic arm is too conspicuous. If you are targeted by SHIELD, you will be in trouble."
"But your clothes are in tatters, so you're not much better."
Bucky's words reminded Leo. He looked at his shirt and pants, which were all torn into strips of cloth, and then looked at Bucky's exposed mechanical arm, and smiled and said:
"Your words reminded me that we need to change our clothes and get some money by the way."
