Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 136 History Line Without Forks
"My father has been looking for him for almost his whole life. Before he passed away in an accident, he set up a related fund to search for his traces. If you know my father, you will find that in his mouth, you have never heard a word about him. Captain America has the slightest bit of disapproval, and sometimes I even think he loves Steve Rogers, who's buried somewhere, more than I do."

On the vast white ice sheet of the Arctic Circle, a military transport plane slowly passed by. In this vast white world, this plane seemed so insignificant like a thin leaf in the sky.

Tony Stark propped his chin in his hands, looking at the ice field outside the plane window and talking in a daze, while Bruce, who was listening to his narration, seemed very silent, just patiently listening to what Tony knew from his father, A story about Steve Rogers.

Similar to what he used to know, Steve quickly became the military's most important force after undergoing transformation experiments. He was brave and fearless. He has given a strong counterattack on various battlefields in Europe. He is a symbol of the US military, a symbol of American freedom, and a childhood hero for every American child.

However, in this world, Steve failed to retake Bucky from the Hydra base, and there was no other Bruce who led him outside the Hydra general base. In the end, with all the regrets, I took a whole plane of bombs and plunged into the Arctic Ocean full of icebergs and biting cold.

The war is over, but Captain America never came back. His comrades accepted the highest respect from the U.S. government and took his share. His girlfriend continued her life with her deep love for him. She has She lost her husband, child, and founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with others. Although she has never forgotten that hero in her heart, time cannot be reversed.

He sacrificed everything, his only best friend, his first love, what he should have enjoyed when he came back triumphantly, the praise from all over the world, and the supreme glory that belonged to him alone, but in the end he only got a glacier, a puddle The deep sea, and that deadly, 70-year-long solitude.

In fact, not many people think that Captain America is still alive, people have been looking for him, maybe just to give the world a result, maybe, just to give those who are still looking forward to a slim hope, when one day people no longer look for him , this hope may also disappear with it.

However, at least at this moment, there is one person who has an extremely firm belief in his return. He also came to this extreme northern land in person, and together with everyone, stared at the sea of ​​ice and snow that buried the hero 70 years ago.

At the transfer station, the plane stopped on the temporary runway with difficulty, and got off the plane wearing heavy safety clothing. Bruce set foot on this harsh and cold land again. Under Tony's soft complaints, the two quickly got on the snow crawler , heading for the depths of the polar region.

"My father established many transfer stations in this area back then. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, my father was banned from entering the country, and these transfer stations were also temporarily disabled. In desperation, we had to entrust the Soviets to help us continue our search operations. , Until his death, I didn’t come here in person again. Later, I took over this matter, cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D. In the past ten years, there has been no substantive progress as it did decades ago."

Tony pointed to the tall buildings looming in the white mist outside the snowmobile, and explained to Bruce, then he took a breath towards the window, and the mist instantly condensed on the window, Tony shook his head helplessly, "This ghost place It's too cold, and our people can't keep searching throughout the year. In the coldest months, we can only send a small team to move forward with difficulty. Compared with the entire Arctic Circle, our people are too small. "

Bruce pursed his lips, breathed into his palms, and said without turning his head, "But you said you would do your best to help me, Tony."

Tony shrugged and said noncommittally: "I'm already doing my best to help you, and a special operation fund will be allocated soon. I will call more people and expand the scope of the search. I could still cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. But now I’m afraid they can’t be counted on, Nick Fury’s rebuilding work requires a lot of resources, and although he may not be able to return the personnel stationed here, they can only maintain the current scale.”

Having said that, Tony looked at Bruce, shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why you care about this matter so much, but as a partner who has worked with me before, I can only say, don't hold out too much hope, Bruce, we are here with you He has been doing this for nearly 70 years before he appeared, and he has not gained anything so far, and maybe there will be no clues about him in the next ten years, do you understand?"

Bruce smiled lightly, but said firmly: "I won't wait for that long anymore, the route you have sorted out should be correct, but now, the search speed is too slow." After that, Bruce added in his heart Dao: That's why you found Steve after a few years. If you speed up and follow this search route, you may have good news within a few months.

However, this idea is just a flash. It is impossible to speed up the search only with the existing search personnel. On this ice sheet, sometimes with luck, you can advance tens of kilometers in an hour, but Sometimes, if you are unlucky and encounter natural disasters, it may be difficult to travel a few kilometers a day, and sometimes you even need to return to the transfer station on the same road for repairs.

"Although I also want to firmly believe that the search route left by my father is correct, but time seems to tell us that his choice may not be correct, otherwise why have we found nothing in so many years of search?" Tony waved his hand, Casually, Bruce just smiled and stopped talking. The snowcat vehicle was driving at a constant speed on the ice field. After a few hours, the two met the search team ahead, and they were reviewing the route.

In the decades-long search, the search personnel have changed nearly ten batches, so it is necessary to review the routes searched by the predecessors every year. See most trusted.

The search team obviously knew Tony, and when they saw him coming, they all stopped their work and said hello, but Tony clapped his hands, stood among them, pointed at Bruce and said, "This one will be with you in the future." Work, uh, I call this work, but you can also think that he is here for tourism, and when I am not here, he will communicate with you on my behalf, everyone, let’s get to know each other.”
