S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters! In Captain America's old-fashioned hospital room.
Director Fury watched Captain America's movements and immediately knew he had discovered the secret here and wanted to escape.
Looking at it that way, barging in did not seem like much of a problem.
He had originally wanted to create the Avengers and recruit Iron Man and Hulk.
But neither recruitment had succeeded.
If Captain America ran off too, Fury truly would not know where to cry.
Su Zheng approached with a gentle smile and took the initiative to shake Steve Rogers's hand.
He said, "I've heard so much about you!"
"Captain America."
Steve looked at the young man and his enthusiastic attitude, sensing some goodwill.
It seemed he had not been imprisoned by Hydra.
Nor had he fallen into the hands of the Nazis.
He was probably still in the United States.
Captain America had originally crashed into an iceberg during an aerial battle with Hydra.
It had been during the era of World War II.
So he had thought he had fallen into enemy hands just now.
Su Zheng asked, "How do you feel? Are you getting used to staying here?"
Steve said, "Thank you for saving me. I've been staying quite well."
"My body has mostly recovered too."
"But where is this?"
Steve felt that the person before him was quite friendly. He also looked approachable, like a good person.
Fury, standing to the side, felt himself getting irritated.
Hey, hey, hey!
I was the one who saved Captain America, Su Zheng. Why are you stealing my credit?
Don't tell me you want to lure him away too?
Just as Director Fury was about to interrupt their conversation,
Su Zheng said to Captain America, "Hello, my name is Su Zheng. Nice to meet you."
Steve replied, "Nice to meet you too."
Su Zheng abruptly changed the subject. "Steve, you slept in the ice for more than seventy years."
Before Captain America could react,
Su Zheng continued, "Your dream girl, Peggy Carter, is nearly old enough to die."
"Oh, and regarding that date of yours, you were a full seventy years late!"
"Peggy Carter got married. She even has a granddaughter about your age."
"Why don't you date her granddaughter instead?"
"Oh, and your brother Bucky didn't die. He's with Hydra, working for them and committing countless murders."
Captain America was stunned by the string of revelations, his mind turning to mush as he involuntarily took a step back.
He had been frightened.
Even Captain America's steadfast heart cracked under the pressure at that moment.
What? Seventy years had already passed?
My dream girl is about to die?
I was late for our date by that long?
She even has a granddaughter?
Bucky joined Hydra?
???
And you want me to date Peggy Carter's granddaughter?
Are you the devil?
You are definitely not a good person. You're a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Your heart is absolutely black.
Couldn't you have told me something like this slowly? Brother, you could at least have been a little tactful.
Fury slowly withdrew the hand he had extended.
Su Zheng, you're really inhuman!
Although you were trying to make him accept reality, wasn't that far too cruel?
And how did Bucky join Hydra? Why didn't I know about that?
Hadn't Hydra already been wiped out?
Tony also looked at Su Zheng warily. People always said his tongue was poisonous.
But compared to Su Zheng, he was like a pure white lotus.
You...
In his mind, Su Zheng had already received the system notification that the mission had been completed.
As for that last remark, it had been Su Zheng's gift to Captain America.
Captain America could not recover from the shock anytime soon.
Su Zheng left after saying that.
He still needed to check on his Red Queen!
As he left, he dragged Tony along, because Red Queen existed only as a large USB drive containing all of Red Queen's data.
He needed a cutting-edge computer to serve as Red Queen's host.
And Tony's home had top-tier computers.
Tony had originally wanted to chat with the legendary Captain America.
But after seeing how badly Captain America had been hit, he decided against it and gave him some time to process things.
As for what Su Zheng had said about Bucky and Hydra, Fury was somewhat doubtful.
But he did not think too much about it.
He merely assumed Su Zheng had made it up to mess with Captain America.
Director Fury took the opportunity to explain things to Captain America,
wanting to ease his mood. "Steve, don't be angry. There's another piece of good news."
"Actually, your brother Bucky is already dead."
"He didn't join Hydra!"
"Su Zheng lied to you just now."
Captain America stared at the bald Black man in shock.
You'd have been better off saying nothing!
My brother Bucky is dead. What's good about that?
Is that good news?
When Su Zheng heard that at the door, the corners of his lips curved up. Director Fury had landed a perfect follow-up blow!
Tony and Su Zheng arrived at Tony's villa.
Tony was thinking that he would soon have to start building new Iron Suits. He had no choice; the "customer" had demanded too many.
He needed to build them as quickly as possible.
Tony said, "Those are what I've built during this period."
"Five Iron Suits, each loaded with all kinds of weapons. They're solid units."
"You can take them away."
"That means I still owe you eighty-six Iron Suits!"
Su Zheng nodded. Tony was now building them far faster than he had in the movies.
If Tony heard that, he would definitely say, Wasn't it all because you forced me to?
Who would want to work day and night?
Tony continued, "They're all equipped with JARVIS sub-systems."
"They can be operated by artificial intelligence."
"Oh, and have Banner come help me. Doing this alone is just too exhausting."
Su Zheng nodded. Since Banner had been rescued by him and had become a member of the Illuminati, he could not just sit around doing nothing.
It was time for him to go to work. He could not spend every day being lovey-dovey with his girlfriend.
At that moment, Su Zheng pulled back Tony, who wanted to head to the lab.
A trace of confusion appeared on Tony's face.
What did Su Zheng want from him? Over this long period of constantly building Iron Suits, he had gained many new ideas in this field.
He had just wanted to go test them!
He had to admit that it was exhausting, but his skills had improved rather quickly too.
Su Zheng asked, "Do you have a top-tier computer here?"
"I need one."
Tony said, "Of course! JARVIS's main body is inside a top-tier computer."
"What do you need it for?"
Su Zheng said, "I developed an artificial intelligence!"
"I want to install it."
He had no choice. He could not exactly say it was a system reward.
Saying he had picked it up would not make sense either.
He might as well say he had developed it himself.
That way, he could show off a little too!
Tony looked utterly incredulous, and his tone rose.
"You?"
"How is that possible?"
"Don't tell me you learned a little computer repair and now think you can develop artificial intelligence."
"Are you kidding me?"
"The code you developed is definitely just a program that can do one plus one."
