[Black shield and white tank] A line of sea and sky

After Rumlow and the Winter Soldier woke up, neither of them mentioned what happened last night-wishbone didn't want to mention it, and the Winter Soldier couldn't.The Winter Soldier approached Rumlow, not knowing what he wanted to do, his face was very close, Rumlow dodged a bit, and the Winter Soldier returned to his original position.

The Winter Soldier has always been very good, very good, very quiet.This allowed Rumlow to concentrate on driving, and he took two loaves of bread from a bakery to the Winter Soldier with his face full of scars as compensation, and took an office worker's wallet along the way, and drove the car directly to the pier.

Waterways are always safer than other modes of transportation. Rumlow didn't want to continue driving that broken car, and he wasn't sure where the car could go, so he simply gave up on it and took the Winter Soldier to buy two vacancies in the container.

When choosing to stay with stowaways or with black workers at sea, Rumlow chose the former with a poorer environment.After all, the Winter Soldier doesn't have an iron arm and can't speak. He is also wounded, has limited mobility and lacks ammunition.

A woman in a headscarf leaned into her husband's arms, giving Rumlow more than two seats.The stowaways were somewhat curious about their appearance, but more out of fear, although they were not actually dangerous.

Rumlow found a dagger and hid it in the rolled-up sleeve of the Winter Soldier. If the ship's problems were discovered by the customs, the crew would definitely kill them and throw them into the sea. Rumlow still had weapons for self-defense.Then stuff a few banknotes in the soles of the shoes, and deal with the crew to increase the fare halfway, and rob their belongings for the second time.

The Winter Soldier sat next to Rumlow, and fell asleep all the way in a drowsy, staggering sleep.

Rumlow was very fortunate that the Winter Soldier didn't have the unstable situation he was worried about along the way, which saved them both a lot of trouble.However, since the activation command in his mind was eliminated, the Winter Soldier has been very stable by his side, which is one of the few places where Wishbone is gratified.

There was a thin boy in the cabin who was coughing all the time. The light and air were very thin, so it was hard to see what was going on with the boy, but he could be sure only by the sound of the coughing—he couldn’t make it to the other shore.But this is also a matter of no choice. It must be a helpless move with no choice to suffer here. Presumably, if the child did not die at sea, he would have to die in a house with only four walls.

Rumlow only hoped that he could last a little longer, otherwise, with the temperature in the warehouse, it would be hard to say how long it would take for the smell to come out.

In the middle of the voyage, someone opened a warehouse and asked them to hand over all their belongings with a watermelon knife.

Rumlow made a gesture of refusal, took out a few crumpled banknotes from the sole of his left shoe after being slapped a few times.There are still a few soles hidden in the Winter Soldier's shoes, but the crew will no longer find them.

A girl's chain was taken and her mother's bracelet was seized.The girl cried and tried to fight the crew, but luckily, the crew just pushed her back instead of dragging her away too.

Before closing the hatch, another well-dressed man walked through the door, looked at Rumlow and the Winter Soldier, and pointed to Rumlow for him to come out.Rumlow dragged the Winter Soldier together and followed them outside the barn door.

The man asked him if he wanted to find some work, but when he heard that Rumlow said that if he found a job, then they would also give a job to the "brother" next to him, he pushed them back.

"If you do the job of two alone, we will feed you two." Before closing the door, the crew asked again.

Rumlow shook his head, squinting his eyes to avoid the light coming in from the mast, "No, he doesn't like being alone with nothing to do."

The door closed, and the boy's coughing grew louder.

The Winter Soldier tugged at Rumlow's arm, pressing his hand to his head.Rumlow was stunned for a moment, then pressed his head down.He wanted to say something, but the sound of the motor was too loud, the cough was too loud, and the cabin was too stuffy and smelly, so he gave up again.

In fact, the Winter Soldier is very smart, he can understand everything he sees at a glance, and he can learn everything at a glance.He knew the meaning of what Rumlow said and what he did, so he could also understand that this was the former special attack captain's best care for the disabled with a broken arm and dumb throat.Although he didn't know how to express his gratitude and guilt, luckily Rumlow put his arms around his head and seemed to understand what he meant.

Although Rumlow always calls him "stupid", and may call him "dumb and dumb" in the future, Rumlow actually appreciates the sensitivity and sharpness of the Winter Soldier.Possessing such excellent qualities is not easy for ordinary people, let alone a reformed soldier who has been brainwashed many times.

I remember that when the Soviets handed over a new batch of reformed soldiers to the German base, Schmidt did a knockout match similar to the test.The Winter Soldier didn't beat the other cyborgs because it wasn't a fair game.With one-to-many, other people rush forward, and the Winter Soldier is overwhelmed.

Rumlow watched the whole process of the game, and in the end, two reformers died, three passed smoothly, and one was seriously injured and taken away.That's right, it was the Winter Soldier who was carried out on a stretcher.

"Don't knock him out, he's smart," Rumlow told Schmidt.

"But he didn't win," Schmidt responded.

"Because he fights against many, the serum injected by other people was developed later than him, and the effect will be better. The Winter Soldier can be one-to-many, which has proved that he is stronger than others." Rumlow insisted.

"Every reformer is one-to-many. This is a melee. I didn't ask other people to unite against him. You see, the other two were also killed. Your appeal sounds like sophistry." Schmidt Walking in the corridor, his steps were fast, he didn't want to continue this conversation, he wanted to get rid of Rumlow who had been chasing after him.

"No...it's not like that. The Winter Soldier is an outsider, and they will first be hostile to unfamiliar smells and faces out of instinct, they—" Rumlow strode after him, and he couldn't find a reason to convince Shmi Special, so a bit incoherent.But he was on the right track, even though Schmidt didn't want to hear it.

Schmidt's footsteps stopped, and Rumlow received a moderate slap in the face.

Rumlow froze in place, then lowered his head.But at the moment when Schmidt turned around and was about to leave, Rumlow repeated stubbornly-"The Winter Soldier is very smart, he shouldn't be destroyed."

Then he got a second slap.He still didn't look up, he stared at Schmidt's military boots, knowing he had a chance to say it a third time.

"...The Winter Soldier...the Winter Soldier is very smart." Rumlow gritted his teeth, responding to another slap.

Very smart, but can't even understand orders.

"He's learning, and I'm teaching him. Once he learns, he always learns to—"

The war is imminent, and no one has the energy to wait for him.You can wait for him, be destroyed and die together with him.The organization would have had better Winter Soldier and certainly more Crossbones.

"...he is very smart." Rumlow insisted almost stubbornly, he was the stone thrown into the cesspit.Schmidt didn't even bother to slap him again, the nonsense he said couldn't convince himself.

So Schmidt stopped talking, turned his wrist, and left Rumlow alone in the corridor.

That night, Rumlow found that his right eyeball was bruised, a red spot, and he could see it when he turned his eyeball, so he realized that the five or six slaps were not neither light nor heavy, but very heavy.But he couldn't help smiling at the mirror, because behind the mirror was the undestroyed Winter Soldier lying on the hospital bed.

The Winter Soldier is indeed very smart, and it didn't take long for him to master everything as Rumlow said.Schmidt gave them both a chance to prove it, and the Winter Soldier and Wishbone never disappoint.

The sound of the boy's coughing gradually faded, until it ended with a few hoarse gasps.The strength of the Winter Soldier's pressure on his arm increased, and he fell asleep peacefully again.The cabin was still hot and suffocating, rising and falling with the waves.Rumlow also closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.

When opening the warehouse again, the boy's body was thrown into the sea together with the body of another middle-aged woman.Rumlow woke up, rubbed his eyes violently, and walked out with the Winter Soldier.

The moment he stepped on the shore, he looked back, the sun had not yet risen from the horizon, and there was only a thin layer of white mist in the distance, hiding the light and color of the fireball.

The whole harbor did not wake up, only their ships made a new-born clang.Those people dragged their exhausted bodies with expressions of amnesty on their faces.

Rumlow did not catch up with them, and walked slowly along with the Winter Soldier along the crowd.It wasn't until most of the people passed them both that he could see clearly the orange glow of the signboard of the nearest hotel with the sun rising behind him.

He and the Winter Soldier took a solid bath, and finally sat comfortably on the bed.The Winter Soldier leaned on the side of the bed and watched Rumlow re-treat the wound, then heaved a long sigh of relief, and got into bed together.

It was Rumlow's intention to choose to come here. He had lived here with Bartok and Rollins for a long time.It was a chaotic town for outsiders, but relatively safe for the two of them.Moreover, you can avoid Hydra's eyeliner as much as possible and find the resources you need.

"I know some underground doctors here, they will cure you." Rumlow opened his eyes slightly, looking at the mottled ceiling.

In fact, he couldn't be sure whether the Winter Soldier's inability to speak was the result of the medicine Steve injected him, or the trauma to the back of his head when he was taught a lesson.So Wishbone needs a doctor, a professional doctor who will not betray them.

As it happened, Bartok and Rollins knew many doctors here.Some are fugitive doctors who fled here, some are wanted scientific researchers, some are local professionals who can't go to regular hospitals, and some disappeared after Schmidt and Pierce was killed again. During the empty window, skilled workers who fled here from Hydra.

They all have a wealth of knowledge, but none of them has the status of being on the stage.This place cannot give them status, but it can give them gold that matches their knowledge.So some people settled down to save lives and heal the wounded for some forces or gangs.

Life is actually the same, doctors are mechanics not vigilantes.They try their best to help the living continue their lives. When they meet a life, no matter whether he is a villain or a good person, they are treated equally, and they have no obligation or right to judge a person's life or death.

They are Wishbone and the Winter Soldier's silver lining.

Even if this glimmer of hope did not burn for long, it was extinguished.

Crossbones screened three doctors, all three of whom he had met and had good reputations from Bartok and Rollins' introductions.Even if they can't cure the Winter Soldier immediately, they can certainly provide an effective solution or a feasible way.

But unfortunately, they hit a wall when they met Doctor No.1.

The first doctor didn't find out what was wrong with the Winter Soldier, he checked the throat and then the injury to the back of the head.The equipment in the workshop was very simple. He took pictures of his throat with a tongue depressor and a flashlight for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: "Go to a place where you can take a picture, and then find a place where you can do a test to check the routine. , bring me the list, I'll read it before we talk about it."

So Wishbone and the Winter Soldier came to the second house again.It was a relatively large-scale private clinic, surrounded by the largest gang here.But the Winter Soldier has brain damage, and his blood tests are far from normal, so the second family has nothing to do with him.

"It may also be a mental trauma. I'm not sure. You can go to a few more clinics for follow-up visits. If I find anything out of my research, I will find a way to inform you." He said, leaving a few tubes of blood samples from the Winter Soldier and photographing them. X-ray, and printed an additional report for them both.

"There is always a way. There are such doctors everywhere here. One or two is not enough to explain the problem." After leaving the clinic, Rumlow squeezed out a smile as much as possible.The Winter Soldier still nodded obediently, his expression said that he was not afraid, he was not worried at all, anyway, he didn't talk much before.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Rumlow's heart.Even if the Winter Soldier doesn't talk much, it's not his fault.He has suffered too much, if Rumlow wants to heal him, he must be healed.

But when this idea reached the third consulting room, it changed.As soon as the doctor saw Wishbone's face, he backed away in panic.Before Rumlow could explain the reason clearly, he immediately took out a gun from the drawer and pointed it at Rumlow's head.

Rumlow hurriedly stopped in front of the Winter Soldier, raised his hands to indicate that he was not malicious, and then he smelled a stench, but before he had a chance to think clearly, his eyes were immediately attracted by the bandage on the doctor's hand—the other's finger was broken , at least two were broken.He couldn't hold a scalpel anymore, he was tortured.

"...I don't know anything, don't come to me again! Don't come to me again!" The doctor was very panicked, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.He had seen Rumlow, many times.Twice he had healed Bartok of fatal gunshot wounds, and they were so familiar at one point, they would never be like this now.

"Who is looking for you?" Rumlow asked vigilantly, stepping back a little.

But the doctor's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.His clothes were stained with dried blood, and the curtain was drawn in the direction of the operating table, so it was unknown if there was someone inside.

He didn't answer, just kept letting Rumlow and the Winter Soldier go.Talking turned into crying, tears flowed from the corners of his dry eyes, snot and saliva splashed out along with his nonsense.

"I don't care who you're talking about, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with me. You put the gun down first, and you tell me, I can help you." Rumlow tried to calm the other party down, and then pointed Pointing to the position where the curtain is pulled—"Let's go step by step, tell me if there is anyone inside, okay?"

But the doctor didn't listen, instead he smiled wryly when Rumlow pointed to the operating table.Before Rumlow could continue his lobbying, the muzzle of the gun was turned, towards his own temple.

Before the blood spurted, the two of them could only hear the doctor's words "I will fulfill your wishes now", and then a gunshot rang out, and the room was completely silent.

Rumlow stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.He walked to the doctor's side and saw that the other party's cloudy eyes were still open.The wise eyes were extremely frightened and desperate at the moment, and Rumlow, under the gesture of the Winter Soldier, found out the reason for the doctor's despair.

The Winter Soldier opened the curtain, and inside the curtain lay a woman and a child on the operating table.The child was resting on the woman's chest, and the ears had already been eaten by mice.

Rumlow carefully checked the drawers in the room and the three corpses, and carefully looked at the bullet casings on the ground.He knew such bullets. The type of bullets was very new and special, and they had not yet circulated in the market.It came from Hydra's new batch of munitions this year, yes, that was the latest batch shipped when Steve ordered the improved equipment.

It turned out that Steve wasn't fooled by Rumlow's perfect acting at all, he didn't completely believe that Rumlow had killed Bartok and Rollins.So he not only sent people to follow Rumlow to supervise the process of his assassination mission, but also sent people to inquire about possible signs of Ba and Luo after the fact.

But fortunately, it seems that they didn't ask anything.After all, even Rumlow himself didn't know whether those two hard-working mercenaries were dead or alive.It is possible that they cleverly concealed their identities again and went to another untouched area to start over, or they may really die, so no one will hear from them again.

Thinking of this, Rumlow couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He stood up and signaled the Winter Soldier to leave with him, and put the bullet casings into his pocket.
