Chapter 178 A blonde girl with unusually large breasts and buttocks

My first love!?

Bucky was completely stunned, his mind unable to process what was happening.

After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Was my first girlfriend... a man or a woman?"

Du Mu was somewhat speechless: "I think you've really lost your mind. I already said it was your first love, so how could it be a guy... Oh, well, it doesn't seem like it's impossible."

"But I'm pretty sure your first girlfriend was a girl. Think back carefully, wasn't that blonde figure in your memory curvy, with full breasts and a pert bottom?"

"Okay, that seems to be true."

Bucky vaguely followed along with the description of his memories, and those fragments of memory seemed to really match up.

But the problem is, the genders don't match!

"Then that's it!"

Du Mu slapped his thigh and said decisively, "He...she is your first love and childhood sweetheart, Stevie Rogers!"

"Steve Rogers?"

Bucky kept chewing on the name, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

He tried to search through his chaotic memories, trying to piece together a clear image of his first love, but all he could get was a blurry figure with short blonde hair and a good figure. Her face was like a fog, and he couldn't see it clearly no matter how hard he tried.

Du Mu nodded: "Yes, you two grew up together in Brooklyn and were inseparable. Back then, you were an enviable couple in Brooklyn."

"But...why can't I remember her face?"

That's because you're hurt too deeply.

Du Mu sighed: "Back then, she wanted to be America's Idol, but you didn't like her showing off her body on stage, so you had a big fight, and then she just disappeared from your life without even saying goodbye."

"Because you couldn't bear the blow, you subconsciously started to deliberately blur her appearance, and sometimes even imagined her as a man, fabricating completely non-existent memories. You thought she was your best friend, and gradually attributed all the things you had experienced to her."

"I see..."

Bucky stood there, stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.

Du Mu's explanation did make some sense, but for some reason, he felt something was off deep down.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Yes, you can rest assured. Soon you'll discover that in your memory, you and that fictional blond man grew up together, bathed together, slept together, exchanged saliva, removed their gear together, and did... "

"Stop right now!"

Bucky quickly stopped him, his face full of resistance.

He didn't want to recall these memories at all, especially since the subject was a man!

Du Mu comforted him, "It's okay, Jiba. As long as you keep trying to remember, you might be able to recall your first love through your various intimate interactions with that blond man. Maybe you'll even remember what your first love looked like in the end."

"No need, let bygones be bygones."

Bucky's expression hardened, and he decisively refused.

He would rather never remember that past than recreate a passionate, homoerotic scene with a man in his memory.

Just imagining the possible R-rated scenes sent chills down his spine.

It's like your girlfriend's soul is trapped in the body of a burly man, and only by you and him doing what lovers do can this curse be lifted. This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

Du Mu's tone was full of regret: "Alright, since you're unwilling to recover this memory, then let it be. Just remember that you owe your twin brother hundreds of millions."

Bucky:

No, I don't remember that part of the memory either.

After Du Mu's persuasive words, Bucky's condition worsened, and his already confused memories were exacerbated.

Fortunately, Bucky has temporarily given up on his plan to delve deeper into the memories.

"Reinstall this for him."

Du Mu flipped his hand, and Bucky's metal arm appeared in his hand, which he handed to the researcher next to him.

After all, Bucky is now one of his men, and he can't let his subordinate carry out a mission missing an arm.

The researchers took the metal arm and carefully approached Bucky, who had calmed down, and gently pressed the metal arm against the joint on Bucky's left shoulder.

"Snap!"

With a crisp mechanical click, the metal arm and the neural interface were perfectly connected.

The metal fingers then flexibly opened and closed, each joint moving freely and smoothly as if they had never been removed.

Du Mu looked at Bucky's flexible metal arm and was somewhat speechless.

The disassembly and assembly process is so convenient, it's like assembling a Lego toy. Just press to disassemble and press to assemble.

However, it's not entirely safe for Bucky to stay in New York, since it's Steve's main area of operation. If Steve happens to be strolling down the street and sees Bucky passing by, that would be troublesome.

Du Mu wasn't as foolish as Pierce to let these two best buddies meet.

The bond between people is too strange. Even if Bucky were to cover himself up completely and shave his head, he still wouldn't feel safe, as there was still a risk of being recognized by Steve.

After much thought, I decided it was best to send Pakistan as far away as possible.

He immediately made arrangements to send Bucky to Sokovia to be managed by Zemo, and also sent Bucky's login password to Zemo.

Zemo was overjoyed to receive the news, as he was worried about lacking a capable and independent subordinate.

It's true that Wanda and Pietro are exceptionally strong, but they only ever obey Du Mu and don't listen to anyone else.

While Strucker focuses on scientific research and Pierce excels in personnel management, both are outstanding in their respective fields. However, when it comes to actual combat capabilities, they probably couldn't defeat Zemo, a special forces soldier, even if they were combined.

As for the Night Raid organization, they are just a group of elite monsters built up with high-level equipment. They can be soldiers, but they can never be generals.

Bucky's arrival couldn't have been more timely.

This Winter Soldier is not only highly experienced in combat, but has also been injected with the Super Soldier Serum, so his strength is beyond doubt. Once equipped with the Night Raid organization's alien equipment, he is fully capable of serving as their Sokovia Captain!

Most importantly, Zemo inexplicably felt an unusual affinity with Buggy, as if the other was his personal Pokémon, and even pronounced the tongue-twisting power-on password fluently.

Sokovia, on the outskirts of Novigrad, is a Hydra research base.

This ancient castle, originally a disguise used by Strucker to conceal his true intentions, has now been transformed into a truly modern research base.

The construction team practically turned the original structure upside down. All the old walls were demolished and rebuilt, and several more floors were added on top of the original structure. Now, from the outside, apart from the foundation which still retains some resemblance to an ancient castle, the entire building has completely changed and looks more like a modern military facility with sharp angles.

To prevent anyone from spying or intruding, a large area of the dense forest surrounding the research base was leveled, creating a wide field of vision. Standing on the watchtower, one can see clearly what is happening within a radius of several kilometers.

Around the research base, Hydra agents dressed in uniforms bearing the Sokovian national emblem can be seen patrolling everywhere. They carry the latest energy weapons, are alert, and move in unison, resembling a well-trained regular army.

The base's defense system is virtually impenetrable, with automated energy turrets deployed around its perimeter. These turrets can strike ground targets remotely and intercept aerial threats. Meanwhile, several black drones crisscross the sky, forming a tight surveillance network that leaves no stone unturned.

This area has now been officially designated as a key military restricted zone in Sokovia, and any outsiders are strictly prohibited from approaching or entering. Even taking a single photograph will be considered espionage under Sokovian law.

If anyone dares to force their way in, the situation will become very serious, immediately escalating into a serious diplomatic incident. Trespassing into a sovereign state's military restricted area is a responsibility that not everyone can bear.

Strucker had never fought such a costly war before, and could openly conduct various research projects at the base without having to hide like before.

After all, this is now an officially recognized military base in Sokovia. Even if the Avengers came, they would still have to follow the rules.

Directly beneath the research base lies an extremely vast underground space. Taking a dedicated heavy-duty elevator down there takes quite a while to reach the bottom, demonstrating its astonishing depth.

At this very moment, in the training ground located on the fifth basement level, a special confrontation is underway.

On one side is Bucky, the Winter Soldier, and on the other is Pietro, who is wearing a specially made battle suit.

"Watch out!"

Pietro's words still lingered in the air as he transformed into a silver afterimage.

Bucky only saw a blur before his eyes, and before he could raise his metal arm to block, a huge impact slammed into his chest, sending him flying.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Pietro stopped in the center of the training field, arms crossed, a hint of smugness on his face.

After this period of special training, his strength has been greatly improved. Now, even if someone sprays bullets at him with a Gatling gun, he can easily dodge them.

In Pietro's view, nowadays, apart from Dumu and Wanda, he is invincible in the entire Sokovia!

Even though Du Mu repeatedly emphasized that the mysterious masked man in front of him was a super soldier who could go toe-to-toe with Captain America, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Bucky slowly stood up, showing no reaction to Pietro's provocation. Suddenly, he pulled a pistol from his back waist, quickly aimed at Pietro, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang—!

Bullets were fired one after another, but Pietro simply left a few afterimages in place, swayed left and right a few times, and dodged all the bullets.

Bucky isn't like Du Mu; he doesn't need to worry about those bullets turning corners to track him.

"Hey, don't waste your energy!"

Pietro even caught a stray bullet, arrogantly shouting, "You have no idea how terrifying the training I've gone through. Bullets are something you can't possibly..."

Buzz!

Before he could finish speaking, the bullet in his hand suddenly exploded with a piercing roar.

The intense sound waves made his eardrums ache and his fingers go numb. He couldn't help but scream and cover his ears.

In that instant when Pietro was distracted, Bucky had already pulled a shield from his back. The metal arm emitted a pneumatic transmission sound, and then he swung it out violently. The shield spun rapidly towards Pietro with a whooshing sound!

Pietro, enduring the ringing in his ears, used his superhuman reflexes to dodge to the side. The shield grazed his clothes and slammed into the wall behind him.

He was making his next move when, unexpectedly, the shield, after hitting the wall, did not fall to the ground. Instead, defying the laws of physics, it bounced back at a tricky angle!

boom!

The shield slammed solidly into Pietro's back, sending him flying and crashing to the ground in a sorry state.

Bullets can curve, fine, but how come even shields can curve?!

Bucky didn't take it seriously. It was just a basic attack for him; he could learn it easily and it wasn't difficult at all.

Surely no one would need months of practice to learn this, right?

Before Pietro could catch his breath, Bucky lunged forward, his metal arm grabbing Pietro's collar.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of large metal wings suddenly unfolded behind him, lifting Pietro into the air and continuously lifting him off the ground.

When Pietro came to his senses, he saw that the ground was getting farther and farther away. He panicked and clung tightly to Bucky's metal arm with both hands.

"I surrender! Please don't let go!"

Upon hearing Pietro's trembling pleas for mercy, Bucky immediately manipulated the wings to descend slowly. The moment he landed, the pair of metal wings automatically folded back into the device on his back.

If Peter B were there, he would definitely recognize that this device is the exclusive equipment of the superhero Falcon.

Some time ago, Du Mu handed over the zombie hero equipment he brought back to Strucker for research, and this was the repaired Falcon aircraft.

Du Mu specially equipped Bucky with this set of gear, which was like adding wings to a tiger, just like Yang Guo riding his Divine Condor, with maximum mobility.

In addition, Bucky is equipped with a zombie Captain America shield, and even the bullets he uses are modified from the special arrows of the zombie Hawkeye. He has all kinds of special ammunition.

In addition, I won't go into detail about the various alien technology equipment he carries.

With the addition of his own super soldier serum and metal arm, he can now be considered a true future warrior, his entire body brimming with technology and ruthlessness!

At this moment, Du Mu walked over from the side of the training field, looked at Pietro with a look of disgust and shook his head: "How come you're still so bad after training for so long? Anyone could beat you to a pulp. I think you should stop calling yourself Quicksilver and just change your name to Kick-Ass."

Pietro retorted somewhat awkwardly, "It's not my fault. Look at his equipment, shield and wings, it's not fair at all!"

"You, a man with super speed, have the nerve to say it's unfair."

Du Mu said disdainfully, "How come Wanda was able to keep him under control? In the end, it's because you didn't train hard enough."

Pietro: "6"

With Wanda's superhuman abilities, who could possibly defeat her!

Besides, Wanda sits by the lake fishing every day and never trains, so who is not hardworking enough?

However, he only dared to think these things in his heart.

Based on past experience, if he dares to talk back now, Du Mu will definitely come up with even more malicious tricks to punish him.

So he could only suppress his grievances and stare at Du Mu without saying a word.

"What are you looking at?"

Du Mu immediately flew into a rage: "You're not convinced, are you? Very well, from now on, Bucky will be conducting a 24/7 assassination attempt on you. He might appear at any time—while you're eating, sleeping, or even going to the toilet—until you can completely evade his assassination attempts!"

Pietro:
