Chapter 224: Forced Landing in Las Vegas

The co-pilot reminded: "Las Vegas is below. Commanders, please put on your parachute bag in advance. When the flight altitude drops to 1,000 feet, you can make an emergency landing."

After hearing this, Bucky took a parachute bag from under the cabin seat and got ready.

Seeing that Steve didn't have a parachute, he asked, "Are you going to make an emergency landing without a parachute again?"

Steve replied confidently: "I have never used a parachute. Are you familiar with the terrain in Las Vegas?"

Bucky shook his head and said, "I've never been to this city."

Steve reminded: "Then you follow me closely. After landing, we must leave the casino as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from using weapons of mass destruction."

Hearing this, Bucky's face was serious: "You reminded me, I don't want to encounter a nuclear explosion in a daze."

At this time, the Quinjet dropped to an altitude of 1,000 feet, and the main pilot reminded: "We can make an emergency landing."

The cabin door opened, and a gust of wind rushed into the cabin.

The two pilots, the main pilot and the co-pilot, turned on the automatic flight mode, left the driving seat, quickly picked up their parachute bags and prepared for an emergency landing.

"It is now Eastern Time, 3:14 in the morning. After the successful emergency landing, at five o'clock sharp, everyone will gather in the northern suburbs of Las Vegas!"

After speaking over the communication channel, Steve jumped out of the hatch, followed closely by Bucky.

More than 20 F-15 fighter jets were chasing after Steve and others after they parachuted and made an emergency landing.

Below was a big city with too many high-rise buildings. They quickly lost sight of Steve and others, and had to report to the rear immediately.

Talos heard the intelligence coming back from the front and decisively asked his men to launch an intercontinental nuclear missile towards Las Vegas.

Steve and Bucky crash-landed on a long-abandoned street in the North City of Las Vegas.

They found two bicycles from an off-road bicycle shop on the roadside.

The two pedaled their bicycles into the air, riding fast on the dark streets, heading to the meeting point in the suburbs.

After a while, Bucky felt that the bicycle was a bit slow and asked, "I saw a motorcycle shop just now. How about we change transportation?"

While pedaling his bicycle, Steve retorted: "A place like a motorcycle shop must have been raided by scavengers a long time ago. Just pedal your bicycle honestly."

Bucky said helplessly: "Okay, after arriving at the meeting point, where should we go?"

Steve replied: "Go to New Jersey. The Revenge Army's base camp has an air defense system. As long as the Revenge Army can be reorganized, we still have hope."

Bucky felt that his good brother was really crazy, and he kept thinking about returning to New Jersey.

"Fury asked us to go back to Europe and strategically abandon North America, maybe"

Before he could finish speaking, Steve interrupted directly: "Bucky, please go back to Europe. If the situation is so bad that it is irreversible, I will go find you."

Bucky looked in disbelief: "When the actual battle begins, you will probably be so stupid that you won't even know you are surrounded by the enemy."

"Just like this time, if I hadn't come to support you, you would have fallen into trouble long ago."

Steve said in a serious tone: "I will pay attention next time, there is no need for you to take risks with me."

Bucky shook his head and smiled: "As long as I remind you, at least you won't be surrounded by enemy forces, so I'd better accompany you."

Seeing his persistence, Steve wanted to persuade him a few more words, but suddenly he noticed that a burst of dazzling white light illuminated the sky of the feature film.

Behind the two of them, a huge fireball appeared over the city of Las Vegas.

"boom--"

After a loud noise that shook the earth.

A wave of high-temperature air hit, flying Steve and Steve more than 20 meters away, and smashed into a bungalow on the roadside.

"Ahem."

Steve crawled out from the collapsed bricks with a look of disgrace and reached out to pull Bucky.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh, okay, the enemy actually wants to kill us with nuclear weapons? If we had run slower just now, we would all have died there." Bucky said with lingering fear.

At this time, the two were 130 kilometers away from the center of the nuclear explosion, so they were not vaporized immediately.

But the high-temperature airflow that followed really caught the two of them off guard.

Steve saw that Bucky was not injured, and saw that the bicycle was severely deformed and half-buried by a pile of construction bricks. He shook his head and said:

"The bicycles are unusable. We are still more than 20 kilometers away from the meeting point. It seems that we will have to run at night next."

Bucky patted the dust on his combat uniform and said with a relaxed face: "In the recruit training, I ranked first in the 20-kilometer weight-bearing race."

Seeing that he was still in the mood to brag, Steve shook his head and walked out of the collapsed bungalow with a smile, "Stop bragging, save some energy and run."

Immediately, the two began running at night on the road leading to the countryside.

In Las Vegas behind, many buildings on the edge of a nuclear explosion were ignited by high-temperature air waves.

High-rise buildings burst into flames, turning the entire night sky orange.

At five o'clock in the morning, Steve and Bucky arrived at the meeting point in the northern suburbs of Las Vegas.

The number of people was counted.

20 Quinjets carried a total of 300 elite agents, but only 47 of them successfully made an emergency landing and rushed to the assembly point.

"Take a two-hour rest and set off at 7 a.m. to find transportation to New Jersey."

"Understood, sir!"

Steve and others rested in the wild for two hours.

Everyone got ready, found five pickup trucks, and rushed along the highway to New Jersey, 3,500 kilometers away.

This journey is no easier than learning from the West.

Captain America and others not only had to hide their whereabouts to avoid being discovered by the Skrulls, but they also had to get to New Jersey as quickly as possible.

The intelligence delivered by Nick Fury showed that the Skrulls' hundreds of coalition forces invaded the United States from the US-Mexico border and have occupied several southern states.

Therefore, Team America and the others have to race against time.

Otherwise, the speed is too slow, and by the time they arrive in New Jersey, all the coalition forces from hundreds of countries will probably catch up.

Driving almost non-stop, day and night.

After one day and one night.

Captain America and others finally arrived in New Jersey and returned to the Revenge Army's recruit training base.

Five pickup trucks, covered with dust and looking dusty, were driving slowly in the deserted training base.

This training base was established on the vast plains of southern New Jersey, surrounded by livestock farms and sparsely populated.

Five pickup trucks circled the training base, but no one was seen for a long time.

Steve sighed: "It seems that when the news of the defeat on the front line spread, everyone in the rear training base ran away."

Bucky said without any surprise: "This is normal. No one wants to wait for death on a damaged ship."

At this time, a white-haired old man wearing a dark green military uniform appeared in front of the pickup truck convoy.

"parking!"

Steve quickly stopped the vehicle, quickly got out of the car and walked up to the white-haired old man, and asked with confusion on his face: "Mr. Anterson, didn't you leave?"

This white-haired old man's name is Anterson Howard, and he is the guard on duty at this training base.

Two of his sons and one daughter died in the alien invasion.

Just let the white-haired person give it to the black-haired person.

Without the support of his children, he, an old man in his 70s, simply cannot survive in today's chaotic world.

Therefore, Steve specially asked Mr. Anterson to come to the recruit training base as a guard.

Give a simple job so that this poor old man who has lost his children can make a living.

Now, the moment Anterson saw Captain America, he was so excited that he almost had a heart attack.

"Leader! You are finally back!"

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Steve quickly supported the other person and comforted him: "Yes, I'm back, don't get excited."

Anterson shed tears of excitement from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

"When they heard the news of the defeat on the front line, everyone ran away. Many people said that you also died in the front line war. Only I firmly believe that the leader cannot die so easily."

Captain America said solemnly: "Thank you for your trust. When I come back this time, I plan to reorganize the Revenge Army to fight against the invading enemies."

Anterson shook his head and said: "As far as I know, many people not only left the training base, but even left New Jersey."

"There are broadcasts on the radio every day, and there are wars all over the southern United States. Everyone is afraid that the enemy will come here."

"So, they fled to the Umbrella Company's territory in New York."

"Nowadays, most people in New Jersey, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled like me, have begun to move to New York State."

"Therefore, leader, if you want to form a revenge army, I'm afraid not many people will respond in New Jersey. Maybe you should go to New York State."

After listening to Anterson's words, Bucky looked curious and said, "The Umbrella Company seems to care very little about its own territory. How do they know it's safe to go to New York?"

Anterson explained: "In two world-class crises, only New York State suffered the least casualties in the entire United States."

"And although the umbrella company does nothing, its very existence is a deterrent."

"So everyone thinks only New York is safe."

Steve said thoughtfully: "New York can indeed be considered a safe place. Although the Umbrella Company is not a good thing, the Skrulls should not dare to provoke the Umbrella Company."

Bucky asked: "Then, let's go to New York State?"

Steve thought for a while, "It seems we have to go to New York State. Mr. Anterson, please come with us."

Anterson shook his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, leader, but I, an old guy, have lived for more than 70 years. I have already lived enough. There is no need to be a burden to you anymore."

Steve advised: "It doesn't matter, bringing one more person is nothing."

Anterson shook his head firmly: "Ever since I lost all my relatives, I have despaired of this damn world!"

"Now, I'm tired, it's time to go to heaven to find them!"

Hearing the other party's insistence, Steve sighed, gave the other party three days of food supplies, and then silently turned back to the pickup truck.

The convoy of pickup trucks started moving again.

Steve kept staring at the white-haired old man in the rearview mirror until he disappeared, then sighed:

"With two world-class disasters, people have really endured too many joys and sorrows. I really don't know when world peace will be restored."
