"Here's what happened..." Falcon quickly recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
"You mean after they left you went inside to check, and there was a secret room that you couldn't open, right?"
Coulson repeated Falcon's words.
"That's right, that's it. Captain and Hawkeye are definitely locked up in there. I request to go with you to rescue him. Captain Rogers is my friend!"
Falcon said with a serious expression.
This was an opportunity for Falcon: to join the Avengers and become Captain America's comrade-in-arms. It was a chance to rise to the top in one fell swoop. Although life after retirement was peaceful and quiet, it wasn't what he wanted.
Fearing that Qin Xiao and the others might look down on him, Falcon immediately took out a stack of documents, which contained information about the secret unit he had once served in—a special operations unit equipped with advanced individual flying vehicles.
"Trust me, I can definitely help, but I need to retrieve my equipment. At the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, it's locked behind three security doors and a twelve-inch-thick steel wall."
"Hey Sam, I can help you get your gear back. I absolutely trust you to help. But right now you need to calm down. Now that we know where the Captain is being held, let's rescue him first, shall we?"
As Qin Xiao spoke, he directly opened a portal leading to the museum.
The three of them went directly from the base to the entrance of the museum.
"Can't you just open a door leading to where they're being held?"
Coulson wanted to assess the extent to which Qin Xiao could control the Tesseract.
Qin Xiao gave him a half-smile, but didn't expose his little scheme, and simply told the truth.
"I have the coordinates of that place in my mind, roughly where it is, what the surrounding environment is like. In short, I need a mental connection; at the very least, I need to know this place, understand? Not only have I never been inside that secret room, but I don't even know how many meters underground it is!"
The three of them chatted as they entered the museum. It was already opening time, and they swaggered in.
Led by Falcon, we arrived directly at an employee rest area to the right of the entrance.
Several museum staff members in uniforms were sitting inside. When they saw the three people enter, especially Qin Xiao and Coulson, their expressions changed slightly.
"Sir, this is the staff break area. If you'd like to take a tour, please..."
Their expressions didn't escape the notice of the group; Qin Xiao no need to be polite to the Hydra members.
With a flick of his wrist, a burst of flame erupted.
What does a temperature of 5,000 degrees Celsius mean? During the Gulf War, the US military used a thermobaric bomb, and the 5,000-degree Celsius temperature within two seconds of the explosion instantly vaporized more than 900 people.
Because Qin Xiao's flames were controlled by humans, their energy was more concentrated and wouldn't scatter or escape, so they didn't have a significant impact on the surrounding area. However, the two people in front of him were directly vaporized by the flames.
They didn't even have a chance to scream, let alone escape.
"Open the door! I don't want this to happen again!"
The most terrifying aspect of Hydra is its brainwashing-like control over people. While the high-ranking personnel are used to enjoying the pinnacle of power, the lower-ranking soldiers are truly fearless in the face of death.
Faced with Qin Xiao's threat, the two exchanged a glance and shouted "Hail Hydra!"
He drew his pistol and tried to rush towards Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao casually unleashed another burst of flame.
"Qin!"
Coulson shouted, but it was too late.
"You should spare two lives. We need to find out the truth; this is Hydra!"
Coulson said with a look of regret.
"Trust me, Coulson, there are plenty of Hydra alive in S.H.I.E.L.D.. Once we rescue the Captain, I'll take you to catch them slowly!"
Qin Xiao's smile sent a chill down Coulson's spine.
Are there Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D..?
Coulson knew better than anyone how many secrets S.H.I.E.L.D., and how many unknown weapons, mysterious items, and external forces the S.H.I.E.L.D. possessed.
If what Qin Xiao said is true, and there are a large number of Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D.., oh my god...
Before Coulson could even catch his Kung Fu Hustle, Qin Xiao, following Falcon's instructions, had already violently opened a metal door hidden in the wall.
Once opened, there is a staircase leading deep underground.
"This museum tells people every day how Captain America defeated Hydra, but it's ironic that there's a secret Hydra base underground!"
As Qin Xiao spoke, he entered the basement first.
It's possible that because the employees above are all Hydra agents, there were no guards stationed here.
The Captain and Hawkeye were both held in separate cells, surrounded by metal bars made of a special alloy. Their equipment was left in a corner outside.
The two people may have just woken up from their coma, or the effects of the sedative in their blood had not completely dissipated; they both looked listless.
"Gentlemen, you all look so listless; it's obvious you didn't eat breakfast this morning. Can't you give us a break?"
Hearing Qin Xiao's teasing words, the two of them widened their eyes in surprise.
"Qin, Coulson, Wilson, what brings you here too?"
The Captain was a little curious about the group in front of him.
"You should really thank Wilson, Captain. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found you two so quickly!"
Qin Xiao took out his Tang sword and swiftly cut through several bars of the fence, releasing the two men.
"Qin! Hydra! I've discovered traces of Hydra!"
The Captain couldn't wait to speak as soon as he came out.
"I know, Captain. I told you to leave Hydra to me, and you took the girl on a trip, but you just left her alone on the ship. Well done, Captain!"
Qin Xiao's sarcastic tone made the Captain blush slightly.
As a die-hard Captain America fan, Coulson naturally wanted to give his idol a way out.
" Captain, you've met a girl! That's fantastic! I'll treat you all to dinner sometime!"
Let's go back and talk about it first!
Qin Xiao interrupted their pointless conversation, opened a portal, and led the group back to the base.
"Qin, thank you! But with Hydra involved, I can't possibly be in the mood for a vacation. I'm going to take care of them myself!"
He went on vacation by meddling in other people's business, which not only caused trouble but also implicated Hawkeye. If Sam hadn't happened to find him, Captain America wouldn't know how he would have faced everyone if Hawkeye had gotten into trouble.
So I'm a little embarrassed to say this.
"I understand, Captain!"
Qin Xiao patted the Captain on the shoulder.
"Since you think we need to deal with Hydra, let's first go through the whole process clearly. I'll give you the action plan, and I'll go call everyone over!"
