Chapter 117: The Cunning Pierce
At this time, Stark walked quickly to the console and cursed unceremoniously:
"Don't you know it's best not to touch something you don't understand?"
"The base's self-destruction program generally cannot be stopped. Random control will trigger the firewall. If the self-destruction program is advanced, we will all be killed by you!"
Don't blame Tony Stark for scolding him when he comes up. The main reason is that this old antique doesn't understand and still messes around. It's really a headache.
Faced with serious accusations that could lead to the death of all his companions, Steve looked embarrassed and admitted his mistake:
"Okay, it's my fault. I'll let you do it next time something like this happens."
Tony had no time to continue complaining. He typed frantically on the keyboard with a serious face, and his hand speed was so fast that afterimages appeared.
He is trying to hack into the command's central system.
Result in one minute.
"Shet!"
Steve asked nervously: "What's wrong?"
Tony Stark looked very ugly.
"Pierce, this cunning guy, used physical means. Even if I obtained the highest authority of the central system, I still couldn't stop the self-destruction program."
Steve was confused: "Speak humanly!"
Tony Stark explained as he hurried out:
"Get out of here! They have a timed nuclear bomb hidden somewhere in the base!
Only by finding out the exact location of the nuclear bomb can the bomb be defused by physical means. "
After hearing such a straightforward explanation, Captain America finally understood, but he still had some doubts.
"So what now? Pierce hasn't been found yet, and Bucky hasn't been found either."
Tony Stark didn't have time to slowly explain to Captain America. He yelled directly in the communication channel:
"Attention all Avengers, there are only three minutes left in the base's self-destruction program. There is no time to stop it. Everyone must evacuate urgently!"
At this time, the countdown to the self-destruct program on the central screen of the command center was getting shorter and shorter.
[Self-destruct countdown: 02:59]
[Self-destruct countdown: 02:58]
[Self-destruct countdown: 00:30]
When there were only thirty seconds left in the self-destruction countdown, all the Avengers boarded Quinjets and evacuated in an emergency.
Comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
The whole battle lasted only half an hour.
Ten Quinjet fighters quickly took off, and the Avengers looked at the base below with mixed emotions.
This doomsday base covering an area of 2,000 acres was built in a vast plain. There were also hundreds of thousands of endless zombies outside the three-meter-high city wall.
At this time, there are still 100,000 Hydra soldiers transformed from refugees in the base below, and there are even more than 20,000 refugees who have not completed recruit training.
Today, the Avengers wanted to save the base.
But now, the future of this base has reached a dead end.
[Self-destruct countdown: 00:10]
When there were only ten seconds left in the self-destruction countdown, the nuclear bomb exploded prematurely.
"BOOM——"
The cunning Pierce actually had a hand in the base's countdown to self-destruction.
Sometimes just ten seconds can put the Avengers into dire straits.
When the Avengers' Quinjet had just flown more than fifty kilometers, they suddenly saw that the base was enveloped by an extremely huge fireball.
The shock wave formed by a nuclear bomb with a yield of 300,000 tons.
Not only did it instantly level the entire base, it even wiped out the hundreds of thousands of zombies outside the base.
A hell flower mushroom cloud rises high!
The Quinjet was affected, and the entire aircraft was shaking violently.
"careful--!"
Someone nervously shouted a reminder.
Fortunately, their distance was far enough, and this was only a small-yield nuclear bomb.
The shock wave of the nuclear bomb did not have much impact on the flying Quinjet.
However, the Avengers who survived the disaster still had gloomy faces.
Several new Avengers were upset. This was not the first time they had seen a nuclear explosion in this period of time.
Facing the most powerful weapon in human history, even though they possess extraordinary abilities, they still feel deeply powerless.
Hawkeye Clint held the high-tech compound bow tightly, as if this was the only way to give himself a sense of security. He shook his head and sighed:
"Although Pierce's home base is gone, the food warehouse, innocent refugees, and everything are also gone."
Natasha still acted very strong in front of outsiders. Even though she felt equally uncomfortable in her heart, she still managed to squeeze out a smile to boost her morale and said:
"Hey everyone, cheer up, Director Fury still has a headache about food reserves!
Moreover, Pierce's loss was equally heavy, and it should be easy to find him later. "
Tony Stark has been mentally and physically exhausted recently, due to the pressure of the T-virus vaccine, the pressure of Umbrella Carl, and the pressure of the world on the verge of destruction.
It all made him feel very tired.
He has even been sleeping less than three hours a day for more than a month.
If this continues, I'm afraid he will die suddenly in the laboratory before he can save the world.
Moreover, the failure of this mission made Tony feel his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Falcon Sam was speechless: "Is he asleep?"
Jessica's face was full of fatigue, and she said helplessly: "He is just tired, but who is not tired?"
Jessica's mission was to coordinate Tony, but the whole battle just now happened except for the final emergency evacuation.
Apart from using her flying ability to help her companions board the Quinjet as quickly as possible, it can be said that she made almost no contribution to this battle.
Therefore, she was tired, but she felt aggrieved because her contribution was too small.
After all, the main purpose of this battle was not achieved.
Pierce is still running away again, the material problem is still unresolved, and everything seems to be back to where it started.
All the Avengers felt very guilty.
All kinds of messy things recently have made these Avengers, who have high hopes for them, feel more and more powerless.
However, Steve of the American team behaved quite normally and was the only person on the field who still had high morale.
After all, all he could think about was Bucky, and it seemed that he couldn't see the tired looks on everyone's face. Instead, he said anxiously:
"We must track down Pierce's whereabouts immediately! Otherwise, those innocent refugees will die in vain, and Bucky will definitely escape with him."

Awakened by Captain America's excited voice, Tony Stark slowly opened his bloodshot eyes and complained very unhappily:
"Bucky, Bucky, Captain, you only have Bucky in your mind? Everyone is tired, can't you let the guys take a break?"
After hearing Tony's dissatisfaction, Captain America realized that he was too impatient.
Everyone has just finished a battle and needs time to rest, both physically and mentally.
Captain America was silent for a while and said, "Sorry, I was too selfish and didn't take everyone's feelings into consideration."
Natasha comes out to draw.
"Don't say that, everyone just needs some time to relax."
"And we have sent people to monitor Pierce's dozen secret safe houses. He has no way to escape. Captain, you don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Captain America could only calm down and wait patiently for Pierce to appear.
The Avengers' battle is over, and the Quinjet is flying back to the headquarters.
other side.
Umbrella North America Base, Command Center.
Carl watched the entire battle between the superhero and the villain Pierce.
When he saw the beautiful mushroom cloud on the holographic screen, his expression did not waver.
Suddenly, the surveillance screen of a high-orbit satellite appeared.
Through thermal energy monitoring, the Red Queen accidentally discovered an inconspicuous military jeep appearing in a remote town fifty kilometers north of the nuclear explosion center.
Carl Gujing Mubo's expression changed, and he looked at the jeep curiously.
"They say bad guys will cause trouble for thousands of years, but this old dog Pierce is not dead after all!"
But he didn't care whether Pierce died or not.
On the contrary, Karl is more looking forward to what "earth-shaking" events Pierce can do in the future.
After all, he still knows the law of immortality if the villain fails for the first time.
As the leader of Hydra, how can Pierce be worthy of the status of a super villain if he doesn't fight the Avengers for two or three rounds?
"The Avengers encountered difficulties for a while, but after hard work, they finally overcame all difficulties and defeated the villain Pierce."
This is the correct script, isn't it?
Karl sneered in his heart, that is, he was too lazy to take action, otherwise he would have to teach the Avengers a lesson about not practicing martial ethics!
What if Pierce made it clear when the Avengers attacked the base and threatened the lives of everyone in the entire base with nuclear bombs?
Those Holy Avengers couldn't bear to watch hundreds of thousands of innocent refugees in the entire base die as Hydra soldiers?
It can only be said that Pierce, as a villain, does not have a very high IQ.
If he had been smarter, the Avengers might have been tortured to death by the trolley problem.
But these bad things have nothing to do with Karl, so he is too lazy to help Pierce. Now he wants to deepen his relationship with Wanda.
Just do what you think of, Karl asked.
"Red Queen, is Wanda anywhere in the training ground today?"
Ever since Carl's battle with Captain Marvel in the Pacific, Wanda has been worried about her 'weak' strength.
Therefore, during this period of time, Wanda has been going to the training ground every day to improve herself.
The Red Queen's reply did not surprise Karl.
[Boss, Mrs. Wanda has been at the training ground for seven hours today. 】
After determining Wanda's location, Karl teleported directly away from the command center.
At the large open-air training ground in the base park, I found Wanda who was training with Pietro on a daily basis.
Since Pietro went to school, he often flirted with and even got together with the powerful ladies in the base.
After all, the North American base shelters nearly 20,000 rich and powerful people who bought tickets for "Noah's Ark".
These dignitaries often brought a large family with them.
The North American base is strictly controlled by the Red Queen, and outsiders are prohibited from entering most places without authority.
The powerful people who are afraid of death dare not speak out, while many ladies and ladies are like canaries trapped in a cage, bored and lonely.
As a result, Pietro relied on his high-level authority to open back doors for many beautiful noble ladies.
Not just in terms of food and fun.
And the physical aspect? !
For a period of time, Pietro played every night and lived a very happy life!
