Chapter 599: Broken Arm in Exchange for Life
The endless mountains are covered with white snow, snowflakes are falling, and the cold wind is biting. At a glance, the vast white area looks like a world of ice and snow.
Steve and the Winter Soldier got off the fighter plane and came to a cave. The thick iron door was half-open. Apparently someone had been here before them, and the door was open just to let them in.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Steve said worriedly: "Zemo should have arrived a few hours ago, which was enough to wake them up. Be careful."
The two took the old-fashioned elevator to the basement and moved forward cautiously. It was not dark here, and there were lights on above their heads. Although there was no light everywhere, they could still see the surrounding environment clearly. The stairs were narrow and dangerous, and tight iron doors could be seen everywhere.
They didn't know where to go, so they could only rely on their previous memories and experiences in the military to find places where enemies might be. It would be best if they could find the enemy's movements through sounds.
Not long after walking, they heard a sound of "dinging bells", and the two of them turned around at the same time and looked at the iron door.
It turns out that the person who came was not Zemo, nor the five Winter Soldiers, but Iron Man.
Seeing that it was Tony, the two of them dropped their guard. Steve thought that Tony was worried about them and came to help them, but he didn't know how everyone explained to Ross after they left. Given Ross's nature, he would not let them go easily. Especially Luo Ning who made such a fuss in the end.
"Is Mr. Luo Ning okay?"
Facing Steve's question, Tony's mind was not focused on this. Instead, he stared at the Winter Soldier who was holding a rifle and relaxed his vigilance. Then he became angry and fired a palm cannon with a lift of his palm.
Steve reacted quickly, holding up his shield and knocking away the Winter Soldier on the side, but he was shot away by the palm cannon.
"Tony, what are you doing? He is not a murderer. Didn't Ronin clarify it?"
Steve got up, completely confused as to why Tony was still holding on to Bucky. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and the memories of the hunt for Hydra came to mind. Combined with what Bucky told him a few days ago about what happened in 1991, on December 16th, Bucky accepted the mission to hijack a car and steal the serum. Should the owner of the car? Could it really be the Starks?
The Winter Soldier wondered, isn’t the truth revealed? But now, Stark attacks him, and he has no choice but to protect himself, that is, he picks up his rifle and aims at Tony, and the two sides confront each other.
"Yes, he is not the murderer of T'Chaka, but he is the murderer of others."
As soon as these words came out, both Steve and the Winter Soldier felt a sudden rush in their hearts.
Tony rushed forward and pushed the Winter Soldier to the ground. He said with red eyes, "Do you know what you did?"
"I know."
"You know you should fight for your life with your life." Tony punched him one after another, venting his anger.
The Winter Soldier kicked him away with force, and he felt aggrieved. Did he want to do this? If he had a choice, would he work for Hydra? All this is not because Hydra controls him. He also wants to be a good person and not seek wealth or death, but every time there is only one way in front of him, and there are people who force him to go.
As they say, "My fate is up to me, I can't help it." When the time comes, my fate will only be in the hands of others, and no matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape the hands of others.
"Calm down Tony."
Steve knocked Tony away, who was charging at him again. "He is also a victim. We have been harmed by Hydra to get to this point. Killing Bucky will do nothing. It will only make those Hydra The rest of the party gloated."
"You already knew?" Tony asked.
"Maybe I just found out, who told you?"
"That's not important. What's important is that he killed my parents."
Tony pointed at the Winter Soldier, and a rocket fired from his arm. The Winter Soldier quickly dodged, and the rocket landed on the reinforced concrete behind and exploded, causing a cloud of debris and dust.
"You're crazy!"
Seeing that Tony wanted to kill Bucky, Steve rushed forward and pressed him against the wall, squeezed his shoulders tightly, and persuaded: "Listen to me Tony, what you do is not good for me or for you. The advantage is that only one more person will die, and I won’t watch you kill my good brother.”
"Get out of the way, or I'll beat you too."
Tony thought a lot on the way here, struggling internally, struggling with right and wrong, right and wrong. However, when he saw the Winter Soldier himself, he still couldn't suppress the anger that rushed to his head.
"Step aside, Steve. This is a grudge between me and him. It would be a relief if I am not as good as others and die here. I don't know how many innocent people I will implicate. If you kill me, the world will be ruined." There is a time bomb missing." The Winter Soldier turned around and ran towards the depths, "Stark, come if you want revenge, as long as you can kill me."
While Steve was distracted, Tony broke away and took only the Winter Soldier, who turned around and started fighting with him.
Steve wanted to stop him, but saw that Tony was not ruthless. The fight between the two was nothing more than hand-to-hand combat. He couldn't help but think to himself: Maybe Tony had figured it out and gave up the idea of killing the Winter Soldier, and just wanted to give him a few punches to relieve him. Relieve hatred.
But even in a close-quarters fight, the two sides beat each other to pieces, with no fatal means but with deep force. Even though Tony was protected by his suit, he was still punched out by the Winter Soldier's iron arms. The reactor that supplied energy on his chest was almost pulled out.
Steve was shocked by what he saw and tried to intervene several times but held back. He couldn't interfere, and he shouldn't interfere. The matter might be over if Tony vented his hatred, but if he helped Bucky, it would probably make things worse.
Without relying on long-range combat methods such as palm cannons, Tony was suppressed by the Winter Soldier in close combat. In the end, he had no choice but to gather energy into his chest and spray it out.
The Winter Soldier's metal arm was cut off, and the cross-section was uneven, like a red-hot soldering iron. In this ice and snow, the room temperature was very low and it quickly turned black and cooled.
Tony jumped up and sat on him, spreading his palms and pointing them at his head.
"Kill me, kill me once and for all, and save me from harming others." The Winter Soldier has taken life and death lightly.
"don't want!"
Steve hurriedly stepped forward.
Tony aimed his other hand at Steve, tilted his head to tell him not to move, and then turned to stare at the Winter Soldier who was looking at death. After hesitating for a while, he put down his arms, twisted his body and lay weakly on the ground, looking up at the cold ceiling.
"After all, I'm not a person who can put aside my personal emotions. I'm not as great as you, captain. I must avenge myself and am not bound by morality. When I see my enemy, my body will tremble involuntarily, and anger will corrode my mind. , when Luo Ning told me the truth, I really wanted to cut Barnes into pieces, but I thought a lot along the way. I have done a lot of wrong things in the past, and I have been making up for them over the years. I don’t want to make any more mistakes. "
As he said that, he stood up and said to the Winter Soldier lying on the ground: "If I don't kill you, I will cut off your arm as my condolences to the souls of my parents. I believe they don't want me to continue to make mistakes in heaven." ”
He laughed miserably and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I think this is wrong, maybe it's right, haha... Who made me go through so much."
Steve breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and patted his shoulder gently, "Thank you, Tony."
Then he helped the Winter Soldier up and thought about his purpose here.
"We have wasted too much here. We don't know where Zemo is now. We have to find him quickly. It is best to keep those five warriors here forever."
