[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

It's dynamite.

Steve looked at the things piled up in the warehouse. Although he didn't know much about high technology, all the bombs in the world smelled the same.Just use this, you can blow up this base to the sky.But the most serious problem now may not be the robot soldiers, but the virus that other people told themselves before.

The ghost of Qianyue... Steve doesn't believe that.Most horrific rumors originate from the first eyewitness being frightened enough to say something inadvertently, and then being rumored by others and finally turned into something evil.If it's a virus, there's a cure for it.Seriously, after meeting Alex, Steve didn't feel surprised to see any kind of 'virus'.

"Steve..."

"?!"

What?Suddenly Steve heard something.He was pretty sure no one here knew his name, and no one else here.He looked at the long corridor behind him, and the corridor seemed to be slowly extending like life.Steve felt that something was wrong with him, and he tried to shake his head to wake himself up.However, he found that the corridor returned to normal.

All right.Maybe these strange things made me a little tired.

Steve comforted himself with that.He needs to hurry up.If he could blow up the virus lab before Obi-Wan got here, it would save them all.There was a save the world operation, nothing special.

Virus lab, virus lab... Steve is looking for his target. There are not as many robots here as he imagined. Steve once passed a warehouse-like place, and he saw rows of sleeping robots huddled under the blanket. lined up.It's really convenient, and they will all be awakened when they are most likely to be used.

I wish I had a companion.Steve thought so, usually when performing tasks, the communicator would be full of complaints and digressions.His companions have not stopped very much.They use their own methods to relieve stress. After all, every task they do is to use their lives to face enemies hundreds of times stronger than themselves.

Steve didn't know how on earth they won.In the few months since I just woke up, things don't seem to be so bad.Not much worse than the incident before I fell asleep.Then suddenly, it just got worse.Aliens, and then the entire universe.The crisis the planet is in is simply unimaginable.And yet the Avengers win, every time.

There were many times when they had no chance at all.Powerful enemies, superb technology like magic, even the earth itself is on the half of the enemy.But they still won, which is unbelievable.

Every time, every time they complained and said insignificant words, they rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.And before he knew it, Steve discovered that they had many, many friends.There are some people Steve is not familiar with, but he knows that those people can turn to them in critical moments, and they will definitely lend a helping hand.

Lawyer Matt in Hell's Kitchen, the mysterious John Reaser and his partner, and Frank Castor, who doesn't look like a good guy with a skeleton printed on his clothes.Professor X with a group of super-powered students, the unreliable Constantine, Dresden who has been tricked...every one of them.Maybe Steve won't drink with them, hang out with them, or even send them Christmas cards, and don't usually see them, but Steve knows that they are also a force to protect people when the Avengers are not around. .

To be a hero, you need to stand in front of the weak and block all forces that try to hurt them for them.Even that power can easily defeat you.

And being a good person doesn't mean that you don't do bad things and don't hurt other people.To be a good person, you need to take action when it is called upon you.Make the right choice at the right time.

And being a hero and being a good person at the same time is not so easy to do.It took Steve a long, long time, not knowing if he had made it.He doesn't know if he succeeded, but... But at least, now he is not making efforts alone, and he is not alone looking for such a path.

He has many, many companions.These people are spread all over the world and even through the future.It made Steve realize that the world hadn't changed.Maybe, maybe there are many bad guys here, many people have committed heinous crimes for their own interests and desires, but there is still hope in this world.Hope never goes away, you just have to find it.

Maybe when you become a good person and a hero, you find that it is not as easy as you imagined.Because it's not easy at all.It's not a title of honor, it's not a coveted catwalk, you're not a star, you're not an actor, you do great deeds, or make the right choices, you don't do it for the praise or the headlines Or be made into a statue to stand in front of the Statue of Liberty.You do it because you want to.

You do this because when you see justice trampled on, the weak bullied, and evil committed, you know you must bring light to those who have lost hope.

Not bad at all.

Just a little bit is fine, even if the person concerned doesn't notice it.

You do this to let those who really care, to let those who don't know you but who are under your protection invisibly, know that there is hope here.

It's hard.Sometimes you need to be alone for a long, long time.Sometimes no one understands you.Sometimes you will fail.Steve has been doing this for a long time, and he knows how hard it is in the beginning, how negative and aggressive thoughts can fill the minds of desperate people, and some people just don't bother to understand these things.Because it's easier to be a radical fool, because it's easier to be an ignorant fool.Because it's safer to act as if you don't see it.

That's what makes Steve, all the heroes of the others, all the good people different from the average guy.Not because of their powerful equipment, not because of their fancy uniforms and famous names.But because they made a choice, they chose a difficult path.They don't need your applause, they don't even need your support, they don't care if you appreciate what they're doing, or if you really understand what they're doing, they're just being themselves.

Even if you throw stones at them, they will still protect you when you need help.

"Wow... Dr. Pym would love this."

Steve found the virus lab.He wasn't sure at first, but when he opened the door and saw the greenhouse for growing plants and various test tube instruments inside, he was completely sure.

The stems and leaves of those plants grow strangely, and the ends look like snake heads, and there are nine leaves on each plant.It's like the nine heads of a snake... Hydra?Steve doesn't like this.

In addition to the unpleasant plants, Steve also found some blue-green ores.There are also some messy things that I don't know.

Be careful Steve, you don't want to be infected by something weird.

With that in mind, Steve started gluing the bomb he just found around the lab.He stuck to the outside for a while, and then planned to go further inside.There is also an automatic door inside, without guards, it is estimated that the robot does not think that anyone can sneak in here.After all, there is almost nothing on this planet.

Opening the automatic door inside, Steve saw that there was only a small light on in the dark room, and a little girl was standing there in a huge glass enclosure in the middle.She had no hair, and her skin was festered all over her body. Blood and yellow unidentified liquid oozed from her festered skin.Her empty eyes were like black holes without light, and she was wearing a small white tattered dress.When Steve entered, she moved slightly to look at Steve.

Steve was kind of taken aback, who is this kid?Why are you here?

"Who are you?" Steve approached cautiously, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." He said this as softly as possible, and the girl stared blankly at Steve with lifeless eyes.However, as Steve approached, the girl slowly approached the edge of the glass cover, until she couldn't go any further, she raised her hand and put it on the glass cover—

Steve also raised his hand, and he carefully placed his hand on the same position on the other side of the glass cover. He said, "Don't be afraid, I'll get you out now, okay?"

"...Mom..." From the girl's chapped mouth, an indistinct voice came out, "Mom..."

"...I will help you find her. Don't worry." Steve didn't know if he could still understand his own words, but he still emphasized that there should be a way to open the glass cover, and she had to be rescued. OK……

"Zi-Steve!!"

"Ah ah!"

The sudden voice from the communicator startled Steve a lot: "Tony! I'm almost deaf! Keep your voice down! I'm on an infiltration mission, do you understand?!"

"Ah, I'm sorry. The signal was not very good just now. I called several times and you didn't respond." Tony said, "How is it? How are things?"

"It's okay, it's pretty easy. I put a bomb in the lab, and I'll blow it up when I get out." Steve replied, "It might be all right when you get here."

"Then we'll take you up and find Thor who's straggling. Clint was looking for him, but it's been a while." Tony said, "Blow up that lab and hide!"

"Not yet Tony. I found a baby in the lab." Steve said, looking at the little girl, who was still in the same position, and kept looking at Steve, "I think she needs help. No. She definitely needs help and I have to figure out a way to get her out as well, she is badly injured."

"Wait..." Tony suddenly felt something was wrong, "That can't be... a little girl with ulcerated skin and a white dress with hollow eyes?!"

"Ah, yes...Tony? Do you know who she is?"

"Oh my God Captain! Tell me you haven't met her yet!" What a coincidence!I should have told the captain earlier about this!

"Not yet... She's in a glass enclosure. I think it's a sterile room or something... Tony? What the hell is going on?"

"Captain, that's still the 'Ghost of Qianyue'! She is the virus itself! She is the biochemical weapon!" Tony emphasized, and he said, "We can't let her out!"

"What did you say? How could it be...she..."

"It is said that the virus itself resides on her body and provides supplies. She is not a human being, but a 'petri dish'. Captain, you should stay away from her!"

"But..." How could it be...how could it be not human?The way the child looked at her, and the voice she just made, how could she not be human... Steve couldn't do it, he couldn't just leave like this, it was impossible, absolutely impossible, "Tony, she is A little girl." Steve emphasized, "I can't do that."

"Captain, she is dead." The voice changed into another person, and Constantine lowered his voice as much as possible. He said, "We found the hospital where she was before, and found her soul there. Now she is dead. The captain was taken away by someone who could protect her. What is in front of you is just a shell barely supported by magic and technology."

"..." Steve still felt unbelievable, he looked at the little girl again, "There is still a way, we can still..."

"We can't save her Captain. It's too late."

No... I've missed too many things.Why miss something like this?She's so small, so young, she shouldn't be missed, it shouldn't be 'too late'...

"Captain, you can just get out of there. I'll fix her problems, I'll end her suffering. If you can't," Constantine said emphatically, speaking slowly, "but absolutely, don't touch her .Her life form has surpassed all that nature can give her. I don't know if it is only technology or magic that caused her to stand. If so, the magic may come from the demon enshrined by her mother .Do not approach her captain."

"..." Steve didn't know what to do, he turned around hesitantly, he just needed to walk out of this door and get out of here.He just had to… do it.He strode forward with difficulty——

"Don't go... Mom..."

The little girl's voice came from behind, and Steve couldn't continue, he clenched his fists: "Sorry, Tony. Sorry... If I can't wait for you to come, then the next thing is up to you."

"Captain?! No way! Don't touch her!! Captain!!!"

Communication was cut off immediately.No matter how you call, there is no response.Constantine glanced at Tony, and Tony had nothing to do: "He won't give up on anyone, not even a single chance... We need to save him quickly. That's all we can do."
