The beautiful daily life of Black Light Salted Fish

"...I don't blame Pietro, even though he messed up. I don't think it's entirely his fault. Like I said, everyone has their limits. He did save a lot of people, but that's what happened."

As we were chatting, the road ahead was completely blocked.

"Get out of the car, Watson." Steve stopped the car. "I'm afraid we'll have to walk. It's not too far. We can continue our conversation on the way."

"of course."

Miss Watson jumped out of the car, gun in hand, and made a hammer-swinging gesture. "So, Thor wasn't there at the time? That was the man I saw throwing the hammer earlier, right?"

"He...he has something important to do."

Steve didn't know how to explain that Thor was from Asgard and was looking for some mysterious place that could reveal the future, so he simply skipped it and said, "One more thing. Do you remember what I said about Hawkeye's partner Natasha?"

"Of course I remember. She was taken away, right?"

"Yes, she was injured in the plane crash just like Hawkeye, but unfortunately, the Ultron robots attacked them and abducted Natasha." The two of them shuttled between the ruins. The continuously rising city was still producing low-intensity vibrations, causing the dangerous buildings that had been damaged by the strong earthquake to be filled with dust.

It didn't interfere with the conversation.

Miss Watson was definitely not afraid of dust entering her lungs, as it could be expelled from the body if it did enter. Steve's genetically enhanced super soldier body also had a similar function, so she continued with the topic that had not been finished in the car, saying that occasionally she would encounter an Ultron clone robot that was not completely damaged, and it would take some time to deal with it.

"What happened to Natasha?"

"Her self was twisted by the Mind Stone... No, it's much more serious than that."

At this point, Steve's tone became heavier. "Clint received a signal from Natasha at the base, so we rushed to Sokovia. He insisted on going underground to track down the source of the signal. You know, Clint was the first one among us to have his self distorted by the Mind Scepter. He has a lot of experience with this. Anyway, Clint found Natasha, but..."

“Are people fake?”

"The person is real, but it's a trap. Ultron not only reshaped the energy channeling device of the Mind Stone to distort Natasha's mind, but also installed a controller for her... or a battle armor, a bit like the one Tony wears, which makes her more powerful." Steve trotted ahead without looking back: "Ultron sent us the picture, Natasha and Clint were there, I know that's not her, it's a monster that shouldn't be there, but..."

The man paused. "Clint watched Natasha being kidnapped on the plane. He was unwilling to miss any chance to save her. I can feel his pain, so I respect his choice. But I still wonder...would it have been better if I had stopped him? Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to choose again."

So it was Black Widow who killed Hawkeye.

Miss Watson said nothing more. Silence was the most appropriate thing to do at this moment.

But she was screaming in her heart.

What is this all about?

I thought Vision's failure to be born was already chaotic enough, but there's something even more chaotic?

She knew that Hawkeye could not beat Black Widow, and even if he could, he would not kill her. When Hawkeye was brainwashed by Loki using the Mind Stone Scepter, it was Black Widow who woke him up. In addition, the two of them had a rather unclear comradeship for many years, so Hawkeye's eagerness to rescue the other party this time was of course understandable.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t do it.

Looking at Steve's silent back, Miss Watson immediately thought of what he had just said: Ultron recorded the scene of Black Widow killing Hawkeye and sent it to the Avengers.

The Ultron in this world is much more cruel and treacherous than in the movies.

In the original story, he captured Black Widow, but only forced her to talk and threatened her, then locked her in jail and did nothing, giving Black Widow the opportunity to piece together a simple signal device and send the code to Hawkeye, which helped the Avengers lock on to Sokovia.

Although there may not be any intentional element on Ultron's part.

But now...

Live broadcast, killing people and destroying their hearts is just like this.

One can imagine how the Avengers, who had just arrived in Sokovia and were still evacuating the people in preparation for the war, felt.

The morale dropped significantly before the battle even started.

Just as he was thinking, the fierce sound of gunfire became louder and louder. Steve saw that Miss Watson was silent and knew that she was distracted by what he had just said. He reached out and patted her shoulder: "Hey, we're getting closer. Stay focused. There's no room for distraction in this battle."

"Are you sure it's a good idea for us to walk over there?" Miss Watson fingered her AK-20. She had also heard the announcement on the communication channel: thousands of Ultron clone robots of various models had gathered near the Central Cathedral. "Are we going to team up to break through Ultron's encirclement?"

"I called a ride."

Steve smiled and pointed to the open space ahead. A Quinjet flew overhead just in time. Dr. Banner's slightly amused voice came from the headset: "Okay guys, I'm sorry, I just had time to catch my breath."

"Your voice sounds like it's telling me there's finally good news?"

"Oh, indeed."

The Quinjet slowly landed and opened the ramp exit at the rear: "Come on up!"

Miss Watson leaped from the spot for over ten meters, landing precisely on the ramp. She even deliberately tilted her head to look at Steve. Steve, with an amused expression, put his hands on his hips and waited until the fighter plane dropped below five meters before jumping up. "How high can you jump?"

"I don't know." Miss Watson followed his lead, her hands on her hips. "I jump whenever I want."

"You don't have to do this. I can handle my emotions." Steve nodded his forehead and then walked to the driver's seat: "Hey, Dr. Banner, did you and Tony succeed? Oh, by the way, this is Watson. I believe you must have seen her battle."

"What? I haven't seen it."

Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses. He was a little flustered by the control panel of the fighter jet. He only had time to look up and smile at Miss Watson: "I have been dealing with those... Hi, Watson, I am Bruce Banner, wait a moment..."

He pulled out a device that looked like a large mobile phone and turned the knob. Miss Watson immediately felt a brief noise coming from her headphones, and then there was no movement.

"This is a shielding device to prevent Ultron from eavesdropping on our conversations. You know Tony, he can be very suspicious sometimes." Dr. Banner gripped the fighter's joystick tightly while taking out a weapon that looked like a needle and a dagger from his inner pocket and stuffed it into Steve's hand.

"...So you succeeded?"

"Yes, he bought us time." Banner didn't mention Hawkeye Clint's name directly. "Tony and I have been analyzing the data generated by Jarvis's fight against Ultron. What you have in your hand is the result of our research. Poke it into Ultron's core. The virus inside should be able to temporarily isolate him from the internet. Then we can destroy all these broken robots that are disconnected from the internet."

"Is this the only one?"

"Everyone else has a copy too, but of course I don't need one. Once I turn into the Hulk, I can't care about anything else." Dr. Banner said, then glanced at Miss Watson and said, "Listen, Watson, when the communication is restored, don't mention anything about this secret weapon. Understand?"

"of course."

"Wait, you said every one of Ultron's robots is equivalent to Ultron himself. Does that mean I can just pick any one?" Steve thought of the key point: "Is it that simple? Are you sure it will really work?"

"First, I'm not sure. We simply don't have the time or opportunity to experiment." Dr. Banner raised a finger, returning to his refined scholarly demeanor. "Second, Ultron robots are still divided into different levels. Most of what you see are low-level combat models, primarily equipped with weapons and combat intelligence. Only the command models are equipped with high-powered signal receivers for distributing and transmitting Ultron's commands."

"So we're looking for a command type?"

"It's not us, it's Tony. Ultron robots come in all shapes and sizes, and only Tony knows how to tell them apart."

"I understand."

Steve turned to look at Miss Watson. "Are you okay?"

"No."

boom--!

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky ahead of the fighter plane. The three saw Ultron robots swarming like locusts around the central church, charging towards the ruined church one after another, occasionally blasting out various colored lasers.

"It's time to act!" Dr. Banner closed the shielding device, activated the autopilot, and opened the tail hatch. He stood up and walked over first, with a green swelling on his neck. "I really don't want to call this guy, but who needs him now?"

After saying that, the transformed Hulk roared and disappeared outside the hatch.

"Watson, you've never used a descent buffer before, have you?" Steve handed over a strange device shaped like a Kamen Rider belt. "I'll set a timer for you. At this height... five seconds should be enough. You can jump this high, so you shouldn't be afraid of the impact, right?"

"I don't actually need it." Miss Watson shook her head, declining the offer. "With so many enemies, the guns I have are useless. Um... Mr. Stark? You have so many powerful robots. Can you get me some guns and bullets?"

"I'm not a store delivery guy, kid."

Iron Man quickly responded, "But considering your test scores, I'll look for it."

Miss Watson had already jumped out of the cabin.

She navigated the gaps between the Ultron robots that circled around the central cathedral, using constant buffering and sprinting, needing no help from her hover cloak. "I'm coming down from directly above. Please be aware of friendly fire."

"Wow, this party is getting more lively. Try this!" Rhode flew past her side and below, flipping his body while launching several missiles, destroying a string of enemies. His armor had been repaired, but the surface had many new dents, and it had been hit many times.

"Hulk—!"

"Hey! Keep your voice down you big guy! It's coming into my microphone!"

"Hulk—!"

"Don't rush too far..." Iron Man hadn't finished speaking when he saw Hulk swinging his windmill fist and crashing into the enemy group: "He just never listens, humph."

"Hulk—!"

Hulk spun back with a windmill slap.

"You're not much better!"

Steve used his shield to cushion the wreckage of an Ultron robot as he dropped from the sky: "How's the situation?"

"What else can I do... Wait, what's going on?" Iron Man landed beside him and found that the Ultron robots around him, which were still attacking frantically, had stopped their actions and retreated more than ten meters, forming a tight encirclement.

"So, everyone is here."

A silver-grey robot, noticeably several times more robust, pushed aside its companions in front of it and said, "Look, there should be a few more people here, right?"

"You bastard!"

A hoarse voice came from behind Miss Watson. She turned around and saw the Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff, her body burning with blood-red energy, slowly brushing past her shoulder: "I will tear you apart... tear every one of you apart!"

"Hey, listen, I didn't mean to kill Pietro." Ultron spread his hands: "You and he are both qualified to be my companions. We could have achieved all this together, but there are some regrettable misunderstandings..."

"I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place!"

Wanda gritted her teeth and roared, "I'm going to make this right!"

No, Quicksilver Pietro is dead?

Although he would have died anyway...was this an early death?

How come another one died?
