Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Sherlock felt that the absurdity was somehow reasonable, after all, Black Widow was stunning in both looks and figure. Although he was certain that he had no other thoughts about Black Widow, it was just a pervert's appreciation of beautiful things.

But for some reason, Sherlock always felt that Tony was lying to him. However, unable to find any evidence, Sherlock could only give up on pursuing the truth and steer the conversation back to something more serious.

"Alright, so what exactly is the situation now?"

"What else is going on? I've been waiting all night, and the captain and Natasha haven't shown up! I sent my armor to patrol higher up to see if we could spot them, and I've been waiting here with you all night."

Tony rolled his eyes and complained about Sherlock's unreliability, but secretly he breathed a sigh of relief. Well, he had finally managed to fool the little rascal.

Sherlock didn't say anything about Tony's complaints, but simply rolled his eyes and ate the breakfast Tony brought back.

Well, although Captain America and Black Widow arrived at the base during the day in the movie, movies are movies and reality is reality. It's normal for Tony to rush over last night.

Although Sherlock felt that Tony's actions were somewhat unnecessary, since he could locate Captain America's position in real time via computer.

However, judging from Tony's expression, it seemed that the documentary about the birth of the quality captain on his computer hadn't been exposed, which relieved Sherlock.

After finishing breakfast, Sherlock simply used alchemy to create two reclining chairs and even made himself a small blanket. The two of them lay on the chairs, waiting for Captain America and Black Widow, while comfortably basking in the sun.

It wasn't until after a whole morning, when the sun was already starting to set, that the captain and Scarlett Johansson finally arrived, looking travel-worn.

When Captain America and Black Widow entered the abandoned military camp, they were utterly dumbfounded to see two people sunbathing on deck chairs.

"Tony? Sherlock? What the hell are you two lecherous bastards doing here?"

The captain even shouted it out subconsciously, his eyes filled with a hint of wariness as he looked at the two, since it was too much of a coincidence that the two were here at this time.

Sherlock, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about the wariness hidden in the captain's eyes. He forced a smile and greeted the captain in front of him.

"Hello, Captain, your hairstyle is really sharp today!"

After Sherlock finished speaking, the captain's suspicion instantly turned into resentment. He glared at the culprit who had caused all this and said to Sherlock through gritted teeth.

"I really thank you for your ancestors, Charlotte!"

As soon as the captain finished speaking, both Tony and Black Widow beside him burst into laughter. The atmosphere, which had been somewhat tense due to the captain's wary look, instantly became lively.

It's no wonder everyone was laughing like that; after all, who wouldn't laugh at their captain sporting a rooster-like mohawk? Honestly, the only difference between the captain and those heavy metal rock musicians right now is his smoky eye makeup.

Black Widow, in particular, was laughing hysterically. After all, the fact that the captain made a special trip back during their escape just to bring Sherlock's hair growth pills was really hard to contain.

After everyone laughed for a while, Tony waved his hand, his face showing no surprise at the fact that the captain had become a "quality captain," but rather only delight at the novelty, and said to the captain.

“Jarvis monitored the warrants issued by S.H.I.E.L.D. for the two of you. I found Sherlock, and that little bastard told me you would be here, so I came to stake out the place.”

"But I must say, you guys were way too slow! Also, what exactly happened? What's going on with you guys? And why is Blackie wanted you?"

Faced with Tony's complaints, both Black Widow and Captain America, sporting a mohawk, rolled their eyes in annoyance. As for how Sherlock knew they would eventually arrive here, Captain America and Black Widow had no interest in finding out.

After all, any outrageous thing would seem strangely reasonable when it came to Sherlock, that little rascal, so the two of them couldn't be bothered to dwell on how Sherlock had determined their whereabouts.

After regaining her serious expression, Black Widow walked over to Tony, patted him on the shoulder, and then spoke with a serious face.

"It wasn't Black Egg who wanted us, but Pierce. Black Egg disappeared without a trace after the attack, which allowed Pierce to bypass Black Egg and take control of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't seem as clean as we thought. The captain and I suspect Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. As for why we're here, the reason is simple: this is the starting point of Project Paperclip.

After saying that, Black Widow walked past Tony toward the gate of a bunker. On the other hand, Captain America raised his eyebrows slightly as he passed Tony and Sherlock, showed them his phone, and then spoke.

"I think you two lecherous bastards should open your eyes and take a good look at the group chat instead of worrying about us."

Both Sherlock and Tony reacted very similarly to what was displayed on Captain Quality's phone.

Sherlock & Tony: "Fuck you?! Zhao Weike, you're dead meat!!!"

Chapter 335 The Avengers' style is that the more people there are, the more unserious they become.

Seeing Sherlock and Tony cursing loudly, the captain didn't offer any words of comfort. Instead, he burst into laughter, as if he had witnessed something exceptionally entertaining and hilarious.

But the captain's laughter filled Sherlock and Tony with a speechless look. How to put it, it always felt like the captain, after transforming into a sweet-talking, high-class captain, had a kind of "what's the use" attitude and was letting himself go.

It's commonly known as 'calm madness'.

"No, is this really the captain, or something possessed by an evil spirit?"

Tony, utterly speechless, pointed at the captain who was laughing heartily and asked Sherlock with a blank expression. Upon hearing Tony's question, Sherlock's lips twitched uncontrollably. He wanted to give Tony a definite answer, but looking at the captain's expression, Sherlock couldn't bring himself to speak.

"Probably...maybe...probably...maybe not?"

In the end, Sherlock, his face flushed red, could only give Tony an ambiguous answer, which only made Captain America laugh even harder.

Well, the captain has realized that having 'good manners' isn't a bad thing. As the saying goes, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

What's more, these are Sherlock and Tony, two guys who have fought alongside him, drunk together, and made fools of themselves. Compared to Falcon, Captain America feels no psychological pressure at all when he criticizes these two. He even feels a little disgusted with his own thoughtful mouth for being too mediocre.

The conversation between the three men was overheard by Scarlett Johansson, who was standing nearby. Listening to the conversation between these three men who were nearly 200 years old combined, Scarlett Johansson rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

For some reason, ever since that beach battle with the blond guy, Scarlett Johansson has always felt that whenever there are more than three men in front of her, anything serious starts to seem inappropriate.

They had clearly escaped here with the captain to find out what the so-called Paperclip Project was, but ever since they met Tony and Sherlock waiting here, things started to get strangely weird.

"Can you three grown men stop being so childish and get down to business? We need to find out the details of Project Paperclip here!"

Despite Black Widow's complaints, Sherlock remained calm. He pointed at the captain and spoke to Black Widow in his deep, resonant voice.

"Don't bother looking. This is the captain's happy hometown. He knows this place very well. Just ask him."

Although Sherlock was talking about serious matters, his strange accent and obviously abnormal voice immediately drew Black Widow's attention to Sherlock, rather than to the captain he was referring to.

After Sherlock finished speaking, Black Widow raised an eyebrow at him, looked at him with some surprise, and asked him a question.

"You have a cold?"

Sherlock, who hadn't been acting strangely at first, immediately turned his gaze to Tony beside him the moment Black Widow asked the question. Although he didn't say a word, the resentment in his eyes was obvious to everyone.

Tony, on the other hand, could naturally feel Sherlock's gaze, but he didn't meet her eyes at all. While avoiding Sherlock's gaze, he frantically gave Black Widow meaningful glances.

Looking at this performance that was like a world-famous painting, Scarlett Johansson was speechless. How to put it, although there was not a single word of dialogue throughout the entire performance, it seemed that the murderer and the reason were explained very clearly.

Seeing the pleading look in Tony's eyes, Black Widow's lips curled into a wicked smile. She had no intention of letting Tony off the hook and continued speaking as if to herself.

"I thought you guys with superhuman powers never got sick!"

After hearing what Black Widow said, Tony closed his eyes in despair, and Sherlock's gaze became even more 'intense'.

Unlike the 'lively' atmosphere here, the captain fell into a reverie after hearing Sherlock's words. Although his way of speaking was somewhat absurd, Sherlock was right about one thing: this really was his happy hometown.

Or to put it more clearly, this is where he once trained, and also the place where he and the girl he would never have danced with developed feelings for each other.

Although he was just a bean sprout back then, not at all like the shapely double-doored man he is now, even now the captain admits that the memories here are the most beautiful memories of his life, without exception.

Because it was during World War II, many of the buildings here were semi-underground defensive structures. The captain still clearly remembers that the bunker door where Black Widow is standing was once an ammunition depot.

The one not far away is a shelter, and the open space in the distance used to be a barracks. A little further ahead is the command post and mess hall. The captain and his teammates once went to the mess hall to steal food in the middle of the night.

On the other side should be his former training ground, where he underwent training before becoming captain... Hmm?

The captain quickly noticed something different, which interrupted his recollection, causing him to head towards the bunker that he had never seen before.

"What kind of unlucky thing is this? I don't remember anything like this cursed creature!"

Seeing that the captain seemed to have noticed something was wrong and was heading straight for the suspicious spot, Black Widow wanted to stop him. After all, in her mind, finding clues meant leaving no stone unturned.

It was obvious that the captain understood Black Widow's idea and immediately interrupted her plan to search everything.

"Hey girl, stop worrying. That place you're standing in used to be her mother's ammunition depot. It's not even as big as my crotch. I already figured out what's inside long ago!"

Hearing the captain's words, Black Widow could only sigh helplessly, abandon her own ideas, and follow in the captain's footsteps. As for the captain's title and words...

Well, since they started their escape together, Black Widow has gotten used to it to some extent. Plus, with Sherlock by her side, she doesn't want to experience the same treatment as Captain America.

Seeing that Black Widow had caught up with Captain America, Tony and Sherlock exchanged a glance and decided to follow as well.

Tony immediately summoned his armor, which followed him toward the bunker door that the captain had never seen before.

However, when the four approached, they saw that the door was only secured by a very ordinary brass lock. Sherlock's lips twitched as he looked at this, and he pointed at the simple bolt and lock and complained to Tony.

"Tony, is this the right one? Forget about fingerprint or combination locks, at least get something slightly more high-end to lock it, right? This is a big brass lock that you can buy for ten bucks on the street, is this the right one?"

In response to Sherlock's complaints, Tony rolled his eyes at him in an annoyed manner.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a 'military tactical simple anti-theft lock' that costs over $100,000!"

Chapter 336 The Invasion of Bunker Busters

Upon hearing Tony's answer, a former member of the military-industrial complex, not only Sherlock but even Captain America had a series of question marks appearing above his head. All three people present looked at Tony with expressions of utter disbelief.

Fortunately, Sherlock quickly grasped the key point and pressed Tony for answers.

"What's the cost price of this thing?"

Ten yuan!

Tony's answer was without the slightest hesitation, which earned him the middle finger from all three men. The captain, in particular, began to look at Tony with a strange expression, which eventually turned into a sigh.

"Damn it, as a long-time American citizen, I'm actually starting to agree with the Soviet Union's thinking! You capitalists really are destined for nothing more than streetlights!"

As he spoke, he brandished his shield, instantly smashing the so-called 'military tactical simple anti-theft lock' that Tony had mentioned into pieces. He then opened the door and walked directly into the dark bunker.

Tony, on the other hand, shrugged helplessly before speaking to Black Widow and Sherlock, who were also looking at him with disdain.

"Don't look at me like that. You know, Commissioner Smith has always had a big appetite!"

After saying this, without caring about Sherlock and Black Widow's expressions, he turned on the lighting system on his armor and followed the captain into the bunker like a giant torch.

Black Widow and Sherlock exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and then followed Tony's torch inside.

However, after the four of them walked down the surprisingly long and dark staircase of the bunker, and arrived at the true core of the bunker, Sherlock, Tony, Captain America, and Black Widow were all shocked by what they saw.

Just like in the movies, rows of large cabinets made up of magnetic tape storage devices were neatly arranged in this seemingly endless bunker.

Not far from them was a computer that seemed to have appeared in the last century. Time seemed to have been frozen here, except for a USB adapter in front of the still-running computer, which proved that time had not abandoned this place.

Looking at all this, the captain decisively plugged the USB drive that Black Widow had copied on the firebed into the converter.

The moment the captain plugged the USB drive into the converter, a face made entirely of green characters appeared on the computer screen, and all the underground tape storage devices started operating.

The man, who identified himself as Dr. Zola, not only explained in detail what Project Paperclip was, but also how Hydra was reborn within S.H.I.E.L.D.

She also revealed how she orchestrated the reborn Hydra to gradually erode S.H.I.E.L.D., even murdering Tony's parents who had become aware of the plot, and incidentally telling them how Hydra planned to rule the world in the future.

Whether it was Captain America, Black Widow, or Tony, their breathing gradually became heavier as they listened to Dr. Zola's explanation. Tony, in particular, never expected that his parents had been murdered, not in a car accident as he had thought!

On the contrary, Sherlock's attention was not on Dr. Zola's explanation, but rather on the huge system that Dr. Zola had built.
