Chapter 324: Captain America and Peggy, a meeting across time and space
"no, do not want……"

Feeling the blood draining from their bodies, Erickson and Morris were terrified. Begging for mercy was the only thought left in their minds before they died. However, the blood-sucking beads sucked blood too quickly, and the two of them couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy. In front of the terrified gazes of Nick Fury, Crossbones, Natasha and others, they turned into two mummies.

“These cannot be wasted.”

As Cheng Long's voice rang out, several other Hydra agents who were shot dead by Natasha and her team followed in Erickson's footsteps.

Sucking up these dead bodies is just one of the reasons why environmental protection is so important.

The main purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to deter S.H.I.E.L.D. and various forces that covet its own power.

If a tiger lies in its den for a long time, people will always think it is a sick cat.

Occasionally, you have to show your sharp claws to deter villains.

"Natasha, I leave this to you. Remember to take a video and send it to the military, so that they can see my style!" Cheng Long put away the bloodthirsty bead, ignored the egg-head who was hesitant to speak, walked straight to Natasha, gently touched the beautiful woman's cheek, and then disappeared without a trace.

If you look closely, you will see a mosquito suddenly appearing where he disappeared.

However, except for Natasha who noticed something, everyone else present just saw Cheng Long disappear in an instant and did not feel the presence of the mosquito at all.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths!
After a long silence, Nick Fury exclaimed:

"Natasha, it seems your man still has many tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't revealed yet!"

"Long is very mysterious. The only thing we can do now is to make friends with him."

Looking at Natasha with a serious face, Nick Fury smiled and joked: "Can you handle it alone? If not, I'll let Hill go over to help you..."

"No, I can handle it."

Natasha glared at Fury hatefully.

This bastard actually wanted to send someone to poach her. Do you believe that I will shoot your head off?

Just as the two were chatting, a level three agent came running over in a hurry.

"Sir, I found a nuclear warhead in combat readiness, which could be detonated at any time."

"what?"

Nick Fury was horrified.

Natasha's heart tightened. Is Pierce crazy?

They actually placed a nuclear warhead inside the base, and it had been armed and could be detonated at any time.

"Damn it!"

Nick Fury recovered and hurriedly warned, "Everyone stop moving, put down anything you have in your hands, no one is allowed to move, anyone who moves will die!"

Although he had just cleared out a lot of Hydra members, he now didn't trust anyone except Natasha, including Crossbones who backstabbed Hydra.

At this moment, if anyone dared to touch the detonator, he would definitely empty the magazine without hesitation.

Natasha realized the seriousness of the problem and drew her gun at everyone.

Although their actions made many colleagues feel cold in their hearts, everyone understood that lives were at stake, and as long as the people around them were still suspicious, they had to be extremely alert.

"Is this the reason why Long killed dozens of people in one go?"

When Natasha first entered the base and saw the Hydra agents scattered in every corner, she was still very surprised. Killing dozens of people in an instant felt like killing a chicken with a butcher knife.

Now, she finally understood.

Fortunately, her man acted decisively and did not give Pierce, Sitwell and others the chance to fight to the death. Otherwise, once the base was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, the attention of the whole world would be attracted.

By then, the world's largest financial center will become a nuclear radiation contaminated area unsuitable for human habitation.

……

At the same time, Cheng Long returned to Aunt May's house and looked at Bucky, Irina and the other three, sitting uncomfortably on the sofa. Facing the scrutiny of Aunt May and Spider-Man, he couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Cheng, you're back?"

Peter spotted Cheng Long and rushed over immediately.

Cheng Long touched the little guy's head and looked at Aunt Mei with a smile, "Mei, do you believe me now?"

"Long, I have always trusted you, but just now..." Aunt Mei lowered her head in embarrassment.

"No need to explain, I can understand how you felt at that time." Cheng Long did not blame the other party for persuading him to donate blood to save people, but he thought it would be difficult to go back to the past.

Because what he needs is unconditional trust.

Aunt Mei is talking a lot of nonsense now, but once it involves Spider-Man, the doubts will still remain.

However, Mei and Peter brought danger upon themselves.

Therefore, he would not just walk away, although this is also a way to make all parties see the situation clearly and understand that Mei and Peter are not enough to threaten him.

But one has to stay behind to protect the aunt and nephew until the crisis is completely resolved.

"Mei, there may be more bad guests tonight. Take Peter to the room to rest, and I will take care of the outside."

Cheng Long chatted with Aunt Mei for a while, then sent the aunt and nephew into the room. Aunt Mei and Little Spider had been experiencing great emotional fluctuations just now and needed to rest.

"must be careful."

Aunt Mei closed the door.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was midnight.

Cheng Long originally thought that at this time, the military would come to attack, but he waited until dawn and no one showed up.

"…It seems that the video Natasha sent to the military scared people!"

Cheng Long quickly figured out the reason.

With a group of Hydra members as a warning, the military would never dare to act rashly before being absolutely sure.

In his opinion, the military would most likely adopt a conciliatory policy in order to gain benefits.

"But it's not a good idea to be on guard for a long time. It's impossible to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. It seems that I have to negotiate terms with General Ross."

Cheng Long would definitely not donate his blood and body tissues, but it is not impossible to use the energy of his blood to provide some benefits to important military and political figures, as well as capitalists, to recuperate their bodies, and to ask for some death row prisoners at the same time.

Anyway, he has done this kind of thing in the world of killers and is familiar with it.

You can even give out a few spots and let the military select a few people to be strengthened. It will only consume a little more blood and energy.

Thinking of this, Cheng Long no longer hesitated. He left two Winter Soldiers to protect May and Peter, and took Bucky and Irina to Natasha's house in a taxi.

Natasha, who was busy until late last night, came back home. When she woke up, she saw Cheng Long, whom she had been thinking about. She was instantly delighted and asked excitedly, "Long, why did you come back to me so soon?"

"I miss you!"

Cheng Long leaned over and kissed Natasha, then used his magic to take off Natasha's pajamas and directly engaged in a morning exercise with her that was beneficial to her mind and body.

Both of them are athletes, and they never stop training. They trained from morning to noon and just stopped.

"Did you dig Rogers out and thaw him?"

"I'm done, what's wrong?" Natasha lazily snuggled in the man's arms, greedily inhaling the unique masculine scent of Cheng Long. Long's scent smelled particularly good, and no matter how long she smelled it, she could never get enough.

"I brought two men with me, one of whom is an old friend of Rogers, Sergeant Bucky Barnes."

"Aren't you Avengers short of people?"

"With Captain America and the Winter Soldier joining us, I'm sure we can handle a lot of things."

Cheng Long doesn't like to keep men around him, so he brought Bucky here to send him to the Avengers. Although he won't join the alliance, sending someone in can make Lu Dan feel more at ease.

"Winter Soldier?" Natasha frowned.

"He is a killer who was brainwashed by Hydra and injected with super soldier serum. His strength is quite good, no worse than you. However, Bucky and Tony have some conflicts. He assassinated Tony's parents in the 1990s."

"Then why did you send him here? Aren't you deliberately creating conflict?"

Natasha's frown deepened.

Obviously, in her mind, Iron Man Tony, who has not yet joined the alliance, is far more valuable than an extraordinary killer. In fact, this is true. Not only does Tony bring his own dry food, but he also provides various bases. He is a super financial sponsor in the middle and late stages of the alliance.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D., which was responsible for preparing the Avengers in the early stages, is now in danger. After Nick Fury returned last night, he and his trusted subordinates such as Hill and Coulson began to take action to thoroughly investigate the Hydra members who had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.

There is no doubt that this is a tactic that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of your own people.

But Nick Fury had no choice but to take a desperate measure.

Because this guy is a man with ideals and ambitions, he will not allow Hydra to grow. If the main artery of S.H.I.E.L.D. is accidentally cut off, Lu Dan would rather take away his trusted generals and set up a new company than continue to stay in the infiltrated and riddled "S.H.I.E.L.D."

"But he is Rogers' brother after all. As for the grudge between Bucky and Tony, let them put it on the table and solve it. I don't care anyway." Cheng Long didn't have the heart to deal with their old trivial matters.

"What about the other one?"

"Irina, a female warrior from the same period as Baki, is your grandmother in terms of age, but she has been frozen for decades, so she still looks very young..."

"How young?"

"You'll know if you go out and take a look."

After a while.

Natasha took a shower with Cheng Long, changed into clean clothes, and went out to meet the female Winter Soldier Irina. She was indeed very young. When they stood together, they looked like a pair of good sisters of the same age.

Bucky is only about thirty years old and looks only a few years older than Rogers.

After one hour.

A group of four came to a secret base.

Here, Cheng Long met Agent No. 13, Sharon Carter, the niece of Rogers' sweetheart Peggy Carter.

"Are you Mr. Cheng?"

"You are indeed a handsome man. Come with me!"

Led by Sharon, the group passed through several checkpoints and walked into a ward with a very old-fashioned feel, where they saw Rogers lying on the bed sleeping with his eyes closed.

"Bucky!"

As if they had telepathic connection, the moment Bucky walked into the ward, the drowsy Rogers opened his eyes and saw his childhood playmate Bucky.

"Steve, I didn't expect we would meet again!" Bucky came to the bed with a sigh on his face.

"What do you mean?" Rogers frowned.

He had just finished thawing and had just woken up from a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw Bucky, he thought it was still seventy years ago.

"What I mean is, we meet again after seventy years. You have been frozen for a full seventy years, and I have been frozen for more than sixty years..." Buggy has carried out many assassination missions and experienced the changes of the times. Therefore, after getting rid of Hydra's control, he quickly accepted the reality.

"W-what?"

Rogers' eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in shock, "Impossible! How is it possible that seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye? I promised Peggy that I would go back and dance with her after completing the mission. You...are you lying to me, aren't you?"

"Where's Peggy?"

"Take me to her quickly!"

Looking at his friend who was a little hysterical, Bucky stepped forward, held his shoulders, and tried to persuade him, "Steve, you and I are lucky to be together again after seventy years. Why do you have to dwell on the past? It's been seventy years. Even if Peggy is still alive, she is too old to walk. What will it matter if you find her? Can she still dance with you to the end of that dance?"

"..."

Rogers was speechless.

At this time, Sharon Carter took out her cell phone and said, "Steve, my aunt is actually still alive. She never married for you. Now she is an old woman who can hardly walk. Do you still want to see her? If so, I will contact her right away."

"Are you Peggy's niece?" Rogers was delighted.

"Well, my aunt has been telling me stories about you since I was little. You are my idol. No, you are the idol of many people, not only Citigroup, but also many people in Europe admire you."

"What should I call you?"

"Sharon Carter."

During the conversation, Sharon Carter connected to a video call from her aunt.

After seventy years, the two lovers met again. One was young like a boy, and the other was old and about to be buried. This meeting across time and space moved many people present.

Especially when Steve Rogers confessed his love to Peggy Carter across the screen and said, "I still owe you a dance," Natasha was so moved that her eyes were red.

"Cough cough~~"

Just as the two were chatting touchingly, Cheng Long interrupted at an inopportune time: "Steve, if you really want to finish the dance with Miss Peggy, maybe I can help."

"How to help?"

Rogers looked at Cheng Long in confusion.

"Let Peggy be ten or twenty years younger. If I'm lucky, I can even make her forty or fifty years younger..." Cheng Long never stopped talking about shocking things. With just one sentence, everyone was stunned.

Including Peggy Carter who is retired in England!

After a few seconds.

Rogers jumped off the bed excitedly, grabbed Cheng Long's arms, and asked anxiously: "Are you serious? Can you really make my Peggy look decades younger?"

"At least twenty years old. How much younger she can be depends on her destiny."

Since Cheng Long intends to cooperate with high-ranking officials and politicians to exchange blood for death row prisoners, he can naturally choose to start with Peggy. Peggy is a woman who can create a multinational organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., so her ability is naturally needless to say.

By helping Peggy get younger, the Avengers will have a strong helmsman and Lu Dan won't have to worry about it anymore.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you then!"

Rogers was so excited to get the exact answer.

At least 20 years younger, he can definitely pull off the dance with Peggy. Although Peggy, who is 20 years younger, is still an old lady, she can actually do it if she grits her teeth.

He can do it!
