The Death Knell

After the incident of the Aegis Brotherhood, perhaps as the Leopard God said, the earth after the crisis has ushered in a stage of stable development.

There are no more crises that can affect the earth, only petty fights on the streets. Su Ming hands over his scientific research plan to the upgraded lieutenant for implementation. Various departments under the group also have foundations and professional managers to operate. , as long as he occasionally looks at the account books, no one can fool him.

As everyone knows, Slade went on vacation to Hawaii with his beautiful female secretary.

The information brought by the spider web was basically trivial things. Whenever he heard these things, Su Ming would just turn over on the beach to let his body be evenly heated and emit bursts of salty smell.

He didn't want to care about Leo and Tesla, Peggy and SSR, Fury and the Howling Commandos. At most, he secretly ordered Spider Web to continue to follow up and infiltrate.

A vacation is really a vacation. His current task is to slowly digest some memories on the timeline, and this job is estimated to last for hundreds of years.

After the last incident, all vampires, mutants, and aliens have basically become honest. Each force is either licking its wounds or accumulating strength.

Sometimes small villains appear on the streets, and there are naturally masked heroes to deal with them. They are not superpowers. They either fight martial arts with fists and fists, or shoot with guns. These things Su Ming can't even mention. interest.

The only thing he did was secretly knock Peggy unconscious and give her a bottle of elixir.

I didn't plan to do this originally. After all, in the comics, Fury will find a supply channel for the infinite formula. As the future leader of SHIELD, Peggy should also be eligible for immortality.

But after waiting and waiting, several years have passed, and Peggy looks like Steve's eldest sister. There is still no news about the unreliable braised eggs.

If this continues, it may affect Steve's married life, so Su Ming can only take action personally.

Otherwise, when Bucky comes back after successfully practicing, he will find that Peggy has died of old age. Then what fun will Su Ming have?

As time went by, spring turned to winter year after year, Su Ming went completely dormant. By 1955, Leviathan may have accumulated enough strength and began a head-on confrontation with SSR, but it was only in front of everyone's eyes. , it is a proxy war.

Fighting broke out in Vietnam.

Only this time, Steve decided to retire. In his view, this was an invasion of another country's territory. The United States was not on the side of justice in this war.

As a soldier, you must obey orders, but when orders conflict with beliefs, Steve quit the army without hesitation.

Maybe he couldn't stop the outbreak of unjust war, but he still expressed his position with actions.

The dispute between SSR and Listan should not be at the cost of the death of countless civilians. He, Captain America, quits.

The military immediately found a person to take Steve's place. Anyway, Captain America is a masked man, and the crowd only recognizes the clothes but not the person.

So Steve came to Godfather dejectedly because he was unemployed and didn't know what to do for a while.

When he heard what he said, Su Ming was lying on the beach chair side by side with Gin. The handsome man and beautiful woman wore fashionable sunglasses and drank pineapple juice happily.

Dr. Erskine's pineapples are really sweet.

In order to be able to drink such good pineapple juice in the future, Su Mingte approved a leech solution and injected it into Dr. Erskine so that he could always provide special pineapples in the future.

"Ah, you've retired? Then do you want to come to work at Wilson Enterprises?"

Steve had taken off his military uniform and was now dressed like a country lumberjack, which was a very strange look on the beach in Honolulu.

Peggy beside him was wearing a white dress and holding one of Steve's arms: "I also resigned from SSR. Steve was unwilling to participate in such a war, and I was unwilling to be ordered to persuade him, so we were all We kicked it out, but we have some savings and want to take this opportunity to travel around the world.”

"Huh? Don't you plan to get married?" Gin asked curiously as he pulled his sunglasses off his nose.

Paige pursed her lips in embarrassment and glanced at Steve: "My parents' marriage is very unhappy, and I am not ready for it. In addition, my physical examination report has also come out, and I have also had a long life." As for lifespan, we both plan to discuss it in a few years."

Su Ming pretended not to hear the female agent's insinuations about the issue of lifespan, and nodded with a smile on his face: "That's fine, young people, it's good to go out more often. Where is the first stop of your trip? "

Steve turned around and sat on Su Ming's bench, and poured the sand out of his shoes: "We plan to go to Antarctica. Over the years, we have traveled to several continents, and only Antarctica has not been visited. "

Su Ming's eyes turned into dead fish eyes. Damn it, I'm going to travel to Antarctica. I'm a super soldier and I don't do this, right? Going to have a snowball fight?

However, Slade is just an ordinary person and a business owner, and it is inconvenient for him to express his opinion on this.

"Well, someone sent me some dog-skin jackets a few days ago. I heard that the Antarctic is quite cold. You can take them with you later. I originally planned to sponsor you some funds, but in Antarctica, I guess the money won't be spent. "

"No, Godfather, we just came to say goodbye to you." Steve couldn't imagine that dog skin could still be worn on his body, so he immediately refused: "If Bucky comes back to me, just tell him for me."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring the dishes over in a minute. We'll have a meal together and treat it as farewell to you."

"Um."

I don’t know whether it was because he was used to being busy or because he was simply too bored. After working as a salted fish for so many years, Steve’s farewell made Su Ming feel a little bit ready to make a move.

The situation on Marvel's side is not bad, but the troubles on DC's side have not been resolved yet. I have almost rested in the past few years, and it's time to go over there to deal with the Laughing Bat and Luther.

Even when DC has the 'creation' of the Ten Lantern Rings in hand, Su Ming is still very interested in 'transcendence' and 'destruction'.

At night, after bidding farewell to Steve and Paige, Su Ming and Gin sat side by side under the eaves of the beach house, looking at the dark sea.

The starry sky in the distance looks particularly bright, and the sound of rustling waves is endless.

Gin rested her head on Su Ming's shoulder. She was too familiar with him. At this time, Su Ming's eyes had become firm, indicating that he had some new plans.

"Are you going to go out to do errands?" She twirled her hair with her fingers and closed her eyes.

"Well, there are some debts that need to be dealt with."

Su Ming said calmly, looking at the stars in the distance and feeling the coolness brought by the night wind.

Gin moved his head, as if looking for a comfortable position: "Can you take me there?"

"I don't have the ability to take you outside the Almighty Universe yet, maybe later."

This is also true. Even if the adjutant has been upgraded to a certain extent, technological research cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if Su Ming stays in the Marvel Universe, she still has to wait for her to climb the technological tree.

Although the adjutant's program has been optimized a lot, in this era it is impossible to buy a circuit board outside. What restricts development now is the world's hardware and productivity levels. Even Su Ming cannot change a world.

However, there are indeed benefits. Some projects that originally required hundreds of years of research, such as vibranium and its derived alloys, now only take about ten years.

The speed of scientific research has increased several times.

Unfortunately, we still have to wait, not only for scientific and technological theories, but also for the world's acceptance and production capabilities in all aspects to catch up.

"Xili can go with you. In fact, she is the same person as you, right?" Gin asked again. She opened her eyes and looked at Su Ming's face.

"She can go there with her abilities, but that world is too dangerous. She is good at fighting monsters, but not good at dealing with people's hearts."

Su Ming knew that Ginjiu was not jealous, but just worried, and planned to find him a helper.

But this proposal must be rejected. Xili still has to train for a few more years. Her past experience is almost a chronicle of being deceived, not to mention that there is a shady mental patient in DC.

At that time, Su Ming's details may be revealed by the bat, which will be troublesome.

As an Asgardian woman, it was naturally impossible for Gin to dissuade others from going to the battlefield. Even though she had lived on earth for a long time, some things in her bones could not be changed.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"tonight."

"That will have to wait until I fall asleep."

"OK."

"Crackling!" Su Ming typed on the keyboard, and lines of text appeared on the display.

He was the only one left in the office where people came and went during the day. The fluorescent screen illuminated the last ray of heat on the coffee cup. The empty room was divided into square workstations. Like a prisoner's cage.

No, in fact, everyone was imprisoned voluntarily. In order to survive, they voluntarily entered the reinforced concrete jungle and lived hard in this cold city.

His name is Slade Wilson, and he may have Chinese ancestry, so a long time ago when his family was still alive, he had another name called Su Ming, but no one calls him that now.

In the dead of night, typing on the computer keyboard in the dark is his job.

Don't get me wrong, he is not a criminal. His job sounds respectable at first glance, but the salary he receives every month is actually very meager.

He is a reporter at the Daily Planet. His job during the day is to run around the streets, and at night he types and writes manuscripts.

Now is the Internet age, and newspapers must rely on news websites if they want to maintain their influence. After graduating from college, he entered the Daily Planet because of his excellent character and academic performance, but three years later, he was still a marginalized person.

He had no choice but to catch any big news in the past three years. There was a man and a woman in the newspaper office who were incredibly lucky. They covered almost all major events in the metropolis.

Even if Su Ming spends several days and nights squatting in the car when he goes out on the street, the most news he gets is about a sixth-tier internet celebrity opening a house with someone, which no one wants to read.

And what about the man and woman? Even if you just go out for lunch, you will encounter big news such as an armed gang robbing a bank vault.

Su Ming brought a full set of equipment and lurked for several days to take photos secretly, only to be able to capture the little internet celebrity eating a black banana. Louise unconsciously used her mobile phone to take selfies, and she was able to capture the appearance of the gangster who robbed tens of millions of dollars not far behind her.

How does this compare?

I was eating two-dollar donuts from the vending machine, and then I saw Lois and Clark eating steaks with their bonuses, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.

Su Ming is not jealous of them. It is other people's ability to make money, and good luck is also a kind of strength. In particular, this didn't happen in a day or two. Everyone in the newspaper office has become numb to it.

Don’t know what to put on the front page the next day? What should be the title of the website? Then just send Lois and Clark out for a casual ride, and the big news will come to you.

But the editor-in-chief's attitude was so annoying. Facing the couple, he was like spring breeze turning into rain, speaking softly, and smiling with wrinkles on his old face.

But when facing Su Ming, his attitude changed. The nose was not the nose or the eyes, and he was threatened with dismissal, get out, and go begging at every turn. It was uncomfortable.
