Chapter 27 The explosion at the SHIELD base
"Rorschach, what's going on outside?"
"Why was there such a fierce gun battle?"
After answering Luo Xia's question, Raven couldn't wait to ask about this thing that she had never quite understood.
"Riven, this is exactly what I want to say to you."
Rorschach stopped at this time, and when Raven saw this, she also stopped in front of Rorschach.
The two of them stood at the small door and did not go out immediately.
"I may have accidentally gotten into trouble." Luo Xia spread her hands towards Raven.
Raven suddenly became slightly nervous: "What's the trouble? Luo Xia, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Maybe I used the wrong word, but it's not really a problem,"
"To put it simply, when you came in to find Caliban, there happened to be a group of agents outside performing a certain task."
Rui Wen couldn't help but feel speechless.
It turned out that this was the origin of the burst of gunfire.
What happened is purely a coincidence, nothing more!
"But what does this have to do with you?"
But Ruiwen also knew that things might not be that simple, so she asked again.
"What's even more coincidental is that Howard Stark was also involved in the gunfight..."
"Howard Stark? Is that Howard Stark?" Raven was very surprised. That kind of big man would come to such a small place?
"Yes, that's Howard Stark. After I recognized him, I rescued him."
"In the end, I didn't expect that Howard Stark was actually the leader of those agents..."
Having said this, Rorschach casually took out the business card that Howard Stark gave to him and handed it to Raven.
Rui Wen felt that her brain was not enough.
That rich man who was famous throughout the country suddenly transformed into an executive of an intelligence organization with a long and stinky name but no idea of its power?
"So, you know, I need to make a transcript or a confession or something like that." Luo Xia took back the business card handed to Raven.
Ruiwen naturally understood these processes and didn't say much.
"OK, then you go back first. I will go back after I'm done here."
Rorschach greeted Raven, and the two parties separated.
Raven went back to Xavier Manor first, while Rorschach followed Howard Stark and others to the SHIELD base.
The current S.H.I.E.L.D., no, it should be said to be the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, actually does not have its own dedicated base.
The camp used was still the camp of the 78th Artillery Regiment of the Navy Battalion in the Army.
Although this place is not very famous, it is of great significance throughout Marvel.
Because this is the birthplace of Captain America.
It is also the first base of SHIELD, the world's largest intelligence agency in the future.
Howard's special car slowly drove into the base compound. Rorschach looked out through the car window and felt that everything seemed similar.
It's vaguely the same as the scene in "Avengers 4" where Captain America traveled back to get the Rubik's Cube.
"I'm curious about this place? Do you also want to ask me if this is the place where Rogers was born?"
Howard, who was sitting next to him, saw Rorschach looking at him non-stop, so he couldn't help but joked, "If you are also a fan of Captain America, then my answer may disappoint you."
"This is not the birthplace of Rogers. Just think about it, how could someone be born in a place like this?"
"The fact is, this is the birthplace of the title 'Captain America.'"
"At that time, we were discussing what kind of nickname we should give Rogers, 'Captain Super', 'Fantastic Soldier', 'Mr. Super'... In the end Rogers chose to use Captain America."
"But I didn't expect that the rumor would spread and it would become that Rodgers was born here."
Rorschach did not expect that there was such a story behind the nickname Captain America.
By this time the motorcade had stopped and everyone got out of the car.
Luo Xia took a look and found that Anton Vanke did not come with him.
He couldn't help but asked curiously: "That friend of yours didn't come with us?"
"First of all, he is not my friend, and secondly, this is not a place where anyone can come." Howard Stark patted Rorschach on the shoulder.
Anton Vanko is not cooperating with SHIELD on the surface, Howard Stark has other arrangements for him.
"Okay, let's go!"
Howard Stark greeted Rorschach and started walking towards the office building.
boom!
But only halfway there, an explosion suddenly came.
A powerful shock wave rippled out, causing the ground beneath everyone's feet to tremble.
It stands to reason that such a violent explosion would definitely blow up the scene, but to Rorschach's great surprise, everyone in the camp looked at the direction of the explosion and shook their heads helplessly. That's all.
Some people even had no change in their expressions from beginning to end, without blinking their eyes.
As calm as an old dog.
Bang!
In the direction of the earthquake source, an iron door opened.
A very short guy wearing glasses rushed out quickly.
He also covered his mouth and nose and coughed loudly.
He was so disgraced and embarrassed.
"It's him!"
Rorschach only glanced at the short guy and immediately showed a hint of surprise.
At the same time, he also understood what the explosion just now was.
Arnimzola!
The man who rushed out was Arnimzola, the former top scientist under the Red Skull!
After the fall of the Red Skull, Arnimzola was captured by the Strategic Science Corps, the predecessor of SHIELD, and was successfully turned against by Agent Carter.
He was whitewashed and became an important scientist in SHIELD.
Of course, all this was a disguise.
No one knew that Arnimzola was a fanatic of Hydra from beginning to end, and even after his death, he was still working for Hydra.
But regardless of his position, Arnimzola was also a scientist at the top of the pyramid.
Otherwise, why did Hydra still go to great lengths to preserve his brain after his death?
Without mentioning anything else, just looking at the weapons developed based on the Cosmic Cube, in the current era, it is already very, very remarkable.
And it is obvious.
The explosion just now must have been caused by Arnim Zola's scientific research.
And it is definitely not the first time that such a thing has happened, so everyone in the base is so calm.
"Arnim, is everything okay?"
Howard saw the dusty Arnim Zola and shouted at him.
"It's okay, just a small accident, everything is under control!"
Arnim Zola waved to Howard.
Then he plunged into the iron gate with thick smoke.
