Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 49 Codename: The Winter Soldier

"So this is the power of the lowest level of the 'absolute brain domain'? This feeling."

Relying on the instinct of the body at this time, Bruce easily wandered among the Hydra soldiers in the dark hall, almost taking away the life of an enemy every time he swung his knife, and although the overall quality was astonishingly high, his body Almost no cold weapons are carried, because they don't know the enemy's position, they dare not shoot at will, and the Hydra soldiers who are afraid of accidentally injuring their teammates are close to the brink of collapse!
The gate finally became their "distant" hope. Although the remaining Hydra soldiers had retreated to the edge of the gate, the blades also swept over at this time, and it was unknown who fired the first shot. The ray streaked across the darkness, although it didn't hit anyone, but this move seemed to open a Pandora's box, the remaining Hydra soldiers shouted frantically and shot towards the depths of the darkness, there was more than just Bruce, And many of their teammates.
When everything calmed down, Bruce walked slowly to the gate, looked at the only Hydra soldier who ran out the gate but was lying quietly in a pool of blood at this time, he shook his head, put away the smoking rope With a rice submachine gun, he stepped into the steel passages connected to the gate leading to the ground and various parts of the underground base.

There are also some Hydra soldiers guarding various "vital" departments of the base, and the finishing work must be done cleanly. However, he is not afraid of sporadic Hydra soldiers escaping from the base and attacking the Hydra lurking in the Soviet Union. Snake Intelligence Agency for help.

This base is located in the north-central part of Siberia, and there is hardly a living person in the vicinity for more than a hundred miles. There is no snow armored vehicle of the "patrol team" and complete preparations, and they rush out at night, unless they have extraordinary people like Bruce. Physique, otherwise there is only one end to be buried in the ice field.

"You prepare some food and warm clothes for the 'hard labor' who are detained in the prison. Don't let them out for the time being. The situation is not stable now. I don't want to make any mistakes. I will deal with the 'tail' and the patrol team. Others Be optimistic about Zola and the group of people he selected, except for Zola, whoever has unusual actions or thoughts, kill them directly!"

Bruce turned on the headset while walking slowly in the steel passage, and said indifferently.

"learn."

The No. [-] mercenary's answer was very concise. For Bruce, they had to obey.

Turning around, looking at Zola who was standing in the corner of the dining hall with a group of terrified scientists standing at a loss, No. 100 mercenary raised his eyebrows. At this time, centered on him and other mercenaries, the entire dining hall , the dining table, the ground is covered with scarlet blood pools, nearly [-] Hydra soldiers died here, if the dozens of Hydra soldiers in rotation are also eliminated by Bruce, it means that the vitality of this base is almost wiped out by them.

A group of terrified scientists and depressed Zola were locked in a conference room at the base, and the No. [-] mercenary left two guards to do what Bruce had told him to do.

Shouldering the mission of Hydra's only backup base and Hydra's hidden stronghold, the construction of the Siberia base is second to none in terms of scale and technology, even because of the need for transportation and secrecy. So far none of Hydra's Siberian bases have been fully built.

But what it lacks are only some supplementary facilities and equipment. Its main departments and safety protection systems are already very complete. If it weren't for the fact that Bruce held Zola, the current chief scientist of Hydra, he could "clean" from the inside. "Getting rid of these Hydra soldiers, he and the mercenary team will have to spend a lot of effort to take down this base.

And after eliminating more than 200 Hydra soldiers, the protection of this huge base became the first headache for Bruce besides when Bucky would wake up.

Just after six o'clock in the morning, after finishing the "cat-and-mouse game" with several Hydra patrol teams on the ice field, Bruce returned to the base without hesitation, wearing a bloody death knell suit.

When a group of convicts who were suddenly "taken care of" last night were driven out of the prison by the mercenaries and gathered in the empty steel hall of the base, Bruce led Zola to stand among the thousands of people. before.

Taking off the hood, Bruce exhaled lightly, looked up and glanced at the thin convicts who were generally wearing the spare cotton coats of the base, with different skin colors, and their faces were slightly better at this time. He opened the mouth and said: "You used to be warriors, but being able to be captured by Hydra and sent here proves the excellent physique of each of you."

With a sneer, Bruce continued: "The captives are not worthy of being sent here to die because they are not physically fit enough."

His tone was very light, but his blunt words made the hard laborers present tremble.

"But now, I will give you another chance to live."

Bruce's words stunned all the hard laborers on the scene. They looked at each other, and some didn't understand Bruce's meaning. After all, the prison where they were detained was below the entire base, and there was almost no chance of escape. They couldn't hear the sounds in the base, like "blind" or "deaf" people who didn't know anything about the outside world except for their daily work. Naturally, they didn't know what happened last night.

However, there are also clever hard labor in it. From the empty base hall today, the Hydra soldiers who used to patrol in the past are gone, and the bloody smell in the air that cannot be concealed is aware of something wrong.

"I have taken over this base, as you can see, there is not even a single Hydra soldier here, and now, I will give you hope to live, as long as you are loyal to me and join my escort, I Will restore your honor and let you meet your families in a year, otherwise"

Bruce took out the long knife behind his back, pointed the tip at the ground, and threw it down!

"Keng!"

As if there was a flash of fire, the convicts woke up from their dazed state, and then they all looked in horror at the long knife that half of its length was inserted into the steel floor by Bruce's toss!

He was not only horrified by the sharpness of this seemingly inconspicuous long knife, but also horrified by Bruce's mastery of power.

Bruce's cold eyes swept across, and the slaves did not dare to look at him. At this time, the silent deterrence was even worse than the threat of thousands of cruel words.

"Those who are unwilling to be loyal to me, raise your hands."

After a long while, looking at the hard laborers who lowered their heads in unison and did not dare to move, Bruce nodded secretly, but his brows furrowed. What he wanted were soldiers, but these hard laborers were obviously already tortured and afraid. Under the pressure of weight, he seemed a little timid.

However, he also knew that there was no need to rush this matter, and it would take a long time to restore the confidence of these people, but they were soldiers who had experienced the tempering of the European battlefield. Great help.

"Very well, since I have made a choice, I am willing to believe you, but I only believe once. If anyone chooses to betray in the future, I don't care which country you fled to. Believe me, you will not want to know me means of punishment
Now, according to the centurions you usually work in, go to the dining hall and sit down. After eating, someone will take you to the new dormitory and collect your personal items. Remember, from today onwards, you are my soldiers. Take out The momentum you had in the barracks back then!The new training will start tomorrow, when the time comes, I don't want to see someone lose the chain, now, let's do it. "

After all, Bruce took Zola and left here, and the No. [-] mercenary brought the other six mercenaries to the stage with a cold face at the right time, and drove the hard laborers to the dining hall.

As the biggest boss in this base, Bruce's combination of kindness and strength looks very good, and now, it's time for these "cold-faced instructors" to play their role.

"Your methods are very skilled, sir."

After a night of deliberation, it seems that a decision has been made. Zola changed his previous depression and fear. Although it is a bit unnatural to face Bruce now, at least he is willing to take the initiative to contact Bruce, instead of being forced like before. Played for Bruce.

Bruce saw Zola's change, and a faint smile flashed across his mouth. He just nodded lightly, and then asked, "Is there a question about Bucky?"

Zola said confidently: "Last night, I have communicated with the person in charge of your friend's scientific research team in this base. They were just worried that your friend might be emotionally unstable, so they injected him with a large amount of The medicine is just to keep him in a deep sleep state, and the relevant nutrient solution is still being delivered, so you don’t have to worry, the previous experiments have been done, but I have ordered them to stop the next experimental plan, so he”

"Stop? Why stop?"

Bruce stopped, turned his head to look at Zola, frowned and said, "Bucky's physical fitness has been greatly improved, right? After you injected him with incomplete serum, he fused well, didn't he? That being the case, as long as he doesn't hurt him, after he wakes up, give me a new plan to strengthen his physique."

"Well, okay, okay."

"You are responsible for it yourself."

Bruce patted Zora's shoulder and said lightly.

Zola was taken aback for a moment, but then she was overjoyed and said yes again and again. Doesn't this mean that he has already begun to gain Bruce's initial trust?

"The new plan, if I see it can be implemented, it will be code-named Winter Soldier!"

Bruce said this with a complicated expression. Bucky finally got the code name, but this time, he said it from his mouth.

Codename: The Winter Soldier.
