The base has been abandoned for more than 20 years, right around the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Yongzhen was able to find the base in the vast Siberia thanks to Aletheia's guidance.
She used satellites to scan the entire Siberian area, and happened to find Rogers and Barnes's Quinjet parked in front of the base, and then directed Yongzhen to search all the way.
Yongzhen came here under the commission of Lu Xiao to stop further infighting among the Avengers, and also to catch the guys who were hiding behind and sowing dissension.
Lu Xiao knew that this incident was caused by a man named Zemo. He was a mercenary who traveled around Europe and his hometown was Skovia.
Skovia suffered a devastating blow in the battle between the Avengers and Ultron, and all of Zemo's family members were unfortunately killed in the melee.
The culprit Ultron has disappeared, and the grief-stricken Zemo can only turn his hatred and anger on the Avengers who also participated in the Battle of Scovia.
Zemo is just an ordinary mercenary, and he is definitely no match for anyone in the Avengers in terms of combat effectiveness.
There is a saying that goes well, nothing in the world is difficult except for those who are willing to do it, and Zemo is such a dedicated person.
By interpreting the information published on the Internet before SHIELD was disbanded, he discovered some information that might be useful to him - the Winter Soldier Project.
Winter Soldier Barnes also participated in the Battle of Scovia, and his name has long been revealed by the Avengers.
Seeing the code name "Project Winter Soldier", Zemo immediately became interested and spent a lot of time digging along this clue, and finally found what he wanted.
He carefully set up a trap and caught a senior official of the former Soviet Union branch of Hydra who had hidden his identity. This person was the person in charge of the entire Winter Soldier project.
Zemo found the Winter Soldier's brainwashing "spell" from the Hydra colonel's home. He even tried to approach Barnes in disguise and inadvertently said the Russian brainwashing phrases next to him as a passerby.
.
Unfortunately, the brainwashing influence on Barnes was removed by Lu Xiao long ago, and Zemo's first step of revenge plan ended in failure.
So he chose to do the next best thing and found the abandoned base where the other four Winter Soldiers were frozen. He unlocked one of the female Winter Soldiers, controlled her through brainwashing, and obtained the important evidence he wanted from the base.
Then there was the attack on the United Nations headquarters. Zemo took Barnes' secrets out of context and made them public, and deliberately arranged for another Winter Soldier to launch an attack at this time.
On the one hand, he wanted to mislead the vast majority of people who did not know the inside story, so that the people and governments would associate this attack with Barnes.
The most fundamental purpose is to arouse Iron Man's revenge and anger, split the Avengers from within, and achieve his own revenge goal.
Zemo succeeded, but things didn't go exactly as he expected.
Captain America Rogers still maintained a clear mind during the Civil War, and he consciously curbed the scale of the Avengers Civil War.
In addition, Stark's sanity began to return after his anger was initially vented, and both sides tacitly agreed to take a step back, without really losing any troops.
Under Rogers' urging, Barnes tried to recall, and finally dug out the location of the Winter Soldier Project base from the jumbled memories.
When Stark led the Avengers who supported him to hold back the United Nations' orders, Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Clint secretly gave Rogers a Quinjet and watched them take off to Siberia.
When Yongzhen arrived in front of the base after several twists and turns, Rogers and Barnes had already entered first.
"Bang~dang!"
The sound of fists, feet and metal clashing came from deep inside the base, and Yongzhen quickened his pace while ensuring silent movement.
"ha!"
Deep inside the base, four physically strong warriors were surrounding Rogers and others to attack.
The Falcon's mechanical wing was torn at the beginning of the battle, losing its superior maneuverability. Falcon Sam, who had relatively poor close combat capabilities, became a colander in the team's operations.
In terms of combat ability, Rogers and Barnes are no worse than the four Winter Soldiers, but there is a big gap in the tacit understanding between the two teams.
These four Winter Soldiers are all elites of the former Soviet branch of Hydra. They became the ace in the hands of Hydra through injection of super soldier serum.
Howard Stark's imitation super soldier serum has serious side effects.
Although the Winter Soldiers who have been injected with the serum have strengthened their physical abilities to a level comparable to Rogers and Barnes, their emotions are very unstable and they will not distinguish between friend and foe from time to time. Their practicality is not as good as that of the genuine Winter Soldier Barnes.
Even if they are controlled by a brainwashing device, there is a certain chance that these Winter Soldiers whose mood swings are too strong will break free of the brainwashing and fall into madness.
In view of this, Hydra chose to freeze these four people, leaving most of the tasks to Barnes, and would never unblock them unless absolutely necessary.
Dalia, the first female Winter Soldier to be unblocked, was already showing signs of losing control. Her eyes were red, and her expression showed that she was in a very irritable mood.
"drink!"
I don't know if there was any grudge between her and Barnes in the past, but Dalia came to him specifically and fought with him hard. It was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle between the two.
The remaining three Winter Soldiers who had just been released were still under control, and the three of them cooperated very well.
Rogers could temporarily block their smooth combination attacks with his shield, but Sam was completely in a situation where he was beaten unilaterally.
Quicksilver Pietro used his super speed to harass the three Winter Soldiers and barely managed to save Sam and maintain the situation.
If neither side receives support, it is difficult to say the final outcome of both sides.
After Yongzhen arrived at the scene, she was not exposed immediately. She first turned her gaze to the top of the training ground where the eight people were fighting.
This training ground was specially prepared by Hydra. In order to facilitate viewing, observation platforms were built around the training ground.
"Sure enough, it's here."
Behind the glass of the viewing platform to the north of the training ground stood a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. Judging from his appearance, he should be an Eastern European.
This man stared at the battle situation in the training ground below. Perhaps he was not satisfied with the progress of the battle. He squatted down and briefly disappeared from Yongzhen's sight. When he stood up again, he had already shouldered a sniper rifle.
.
Yongzhen received strict assassin training from Lu Xiao and has mastered the infiltration skills.
Leaving Rogers and others to continue to pester the Winter Soldier, Yongzhen silently climbed up the stairs to the north platform.
Leaning in front of the rusty door, Yongzhen observed Zemo's movements through the crack in the door that was not completely closed.
Among the eight people present, only Falcon Sam's physique was in line with ordinary people's standards. The other seven people all had their own specialties. During the battle, the offensive and defensive situation changed quickly.
Zemo is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have abnormal dynamic vision like Lu Xiao. Even if he sets up a sniper, he can't find the right opportunity to shoot.
"Damn it!"
Zemo temporarily removed his eyes from the sniper scope and cursed in a low voice unwillingly.
Yongzhen seized the moment when he was distracted, kicked open the heavily rusted door of the viewing platform, and rushed to his side while Zemo took out his pistol and stretched it behind his back.
The pink left fist hit Zemo's abdomen, and the attack that seemed like a fancy fist contained huge power. It only took one punch to make Zemo's eyes bulge.
"Kacha!"
With one wrong hand, Yongzhen twisted Zemo's left hand holding the pistol in a strange direction, grabbed the hand and kicked his right leg hard, tripping Zemo to the ground who lost his balance.
Before Zemo could stand up and struggle, Yongzhen cut his neck with his palm, temporarily blocking the flow of blood and oxygen.
Zemo rolled his eyes helplessly and fainted, and the sniper rifle still in his right hand fell to the ground with a clang.
At this moment, the battle on Lu Xiao's side finally ended.
After receiving the message, he contacted Yongzhen immediately.
"Yongzhen, how is the situation?"
Yongzhen released Guigu Taoism to freeze Zemo's limbs on the ground, and then Shi Shiran replied: "Zemo has been captured. I plan to continue to support Rogers and others to defeat the four Winter Soldiers."
