A Zanpakutō at the beginning of Meiman

Rome, Italy.

In order to avoid international disputes and public panic, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Harrier fighters landed stealthily on the edge of the city.

With the captain of the United States Steve Rogers as the leader and command, the eighth-level agent Phil Coulson, the seventh-level agent Melinda May as the assistant, and the elite special operations team led by Brock Rumlow, jointly formed the The main force of this 'annihilation' mission.

Everyone took the bulletproof car provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. to the target location of this mission.

The Church of Our Lady of Cosmedin, located on Marcelo Theater Avenue, the world-renowned marble sculpture "Mouth of Truth", had a strange collapse yesterday afternoon. It is speculated that the collapse may be caused by an earthquake, but fortunately no Casualties, the area has been cordoned off by the local police.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is a global organization.

Except for the Asian region, there are branches in Europe, America, Africa and other countries. This time, after discovering an abnormality, the European branch immediately blocked the scene to avoid causing panic among ordinary people.

Coulson and Mei got out of the car, then took out the documents they had prepared and handed them to the police in charge of the outer blockade.

The police took the documents and glanced at them in surprise: "The United Nations Special Operations Investigation Team, and the World Cultural Heritage Protection Center?"

"Yes."

Coulson said with a smile without changing his expression, "We are responsible for assessing the damage this time and 'repairing' cultural relics."

"...Are you really here to repair cultural relics?" The corners of the policeman's mouth twitched visibly.

These dozen or so tough men, who were nearly two meters tall, were tough and murderous from the inside out. No matter how you looked at them, they had nothing to do with repairing cultural relics, right?

Mei glanced at the police officer's chest, looked straight into his eyes, and said half-threateningly and half-seriously: "Officer Daniel, for your work and life, it's better not to ask too clearly about some things, understand?"

Daniel was silent for a moment, looked at the group of people with apprehension, and stepped sideways to make way: "Let's go."

Everyone crossed the police cordon and came to the mouth of truth.

The second cordon was responsible for picking up their group. They were members of the branch that had been contacted in advance. When they saw them coming, they went up and gave Coulson a warm hug.

"Thank goodness you're finally here!"

The man wiped the sweat from his brow, and said straight to the point: "The underground research room has completely collapsed, but we detected two vital signs, which should be human from the data."

"Has the entrance and exit been cleared?" Coulson asked.

"We barely cleared one, but it can only accommodate one person to pass through, and we don't even know the situation inside, so we have been waiting for you to come over." The person in charge described the situation inside clearly in just a few words.

"Let me go."

Without hesitation, Steve volunteered to be the pioneer.

Coulson and Mei exchanged glances, and both agreed that the captain is the best candidate.

Now everything below is in an unknown state, and the collapsed passage is narrow and can only accommodate one person, so it is a perfect choice to hand it over to Captain America, who has the highest combat effectiveness on the scene!

"Captain Rogers, be careful." Coulson was still a little worried, and reminded him again.

"Well, I'll be careful."

Steve would not joke about his own life. After equipping the vibrating gold shield, he put on the familiar star-spangled banner suit and said while exercising his muscles and bones: "If it is really still below, I will find a way to hold them back." , you support as soon as possible."

Click!

Rumlow pulled the bolt, grinned and said, "Don't worry, Captain."

In order to eliminate the "Pillar Man" this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. specially equipped them with a brand new energy weapon researched based on the energy of the Rubik's Cube. Any carbon-based creature that is hit will be killed by thousands of people on the spot. The high temperature burns to ashes!

The Man of the Pillar?

In front of modern technology, they are just a group of savages drinking blood!

Steve had seen the power of this weapon as early as World War II, so he was more at ease with Rumlow and others, so the cat got up and slid down the collapsed gap.

The cave below has collapsed quite severely.

There is almost no place for people to step on, so they have to rely on the strength of both hands to grab the wall and go down slowly by rock climbing.

This is also thanks to the fact that he is a super soldier, otherwise if someone else came over, it might not be safe to go down.

This difficult climb lasted more than ten minutes.

Steve just squeezed out from the gap of the collapsed boulder and successfully arrived at the location of the research institute.

The giant steel gate at the outermost edge of the research institute is about one meter thick, and it should be the facility with the highest defense. However, after being violently knocked open from the inside, it flew out for a distance of three to four meters, and penetrated deeply. Inside the underground rock wall.

But the most surprising thing was that when Steve observed the inside of the iron gate, he found that there were messy and violent fist marks imprinted on it, sinking into the steel several inches deep.

"What a terrible power!"

Steve stretched out his hand to brush over those fist marks, feeling the lines after the cracked steel, his pupils could not stop trembling slightly, and a violent shock rose in his heart.

This is a steel gate with a thickness of one meter. It was smashed open with punches and punches. With pure physical strength, it can reach this level. One can imagine how terrifying the ancient Pillar of the Men Clan is!

At least, he can't do it to this extent.

call......

Steve took a deep breath, wiped the shield hanging on his right arm, calmed down a little, and continued to move towards the interior of the research room.

along the way.

Except for the collapsed research room, there are dried human skins everywhere.

There was no flesh and blood left in these people, only a piece of dry skin, which made Steve shudder.

As he continued to go deeper, Steve suddenly saw a shimmering light under the collapsed boulder not far ahead.

The brightness of that shimmering light was very weak, if it wasn't for his good eyesight, I'm afraid he might not be able to see it.

Is it a survivor?

With this in mind, Steve approached the boulder cautiously.

"Is it Rogers...Captain?"

The person who was crushed under the boulder was so ashamed that she could hardly see her face clearly, but her long maroon hair undoubtedly proved her identity.

"Agent Natasha Romanoff?"

After seeing clearly that it was his own person, Steve immediately let go of his vigilance, and said with a little peace of mind: "I didn't expect you to be alive. Is Agent Patton still alive?"

"Barton...it's a little lower." Natasha was quite weak and said with a pale face: "If you come a little slower, I'm afraid we will really die."

"What happened?" Steve took out the epinephrine, gave Natasha an injection, and asked, "Everyone in the institute was killed. How did you two survive?"

With adrenaline, Natasha's complexion turned slightly rosy, and she said intermittently: "When the institute collapsed, it was Shuttero Heim who opened the defense facilities in time, allowing Barton and I to escape unharmed."

"And then?" Steve frowned.

Even if they could escape the initial collapse, how did they survive the Pillar Man?

All the people in the research room along the way were sucked into human skin by the man of the pillar, but only Natasha and Barton survived. He wanted to know why.

"Because of an oath."

Natasha showed a bitter face, and said: "Barton and I played tricks and made one of the fighters named Vaum think that we could surpass him within a month, so the other party let us go, and agreed to wait 33 days later." duel."

Steve's face was a bit strange: "This kind of lie...do they really believe it?"

"Yes, but..." Natasha sighed, with a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes, she said: "They left a ring with poison on the aorta of my heart and Barton's. , the antidote can only be obtained after defeating them."
