Chapter 707 Goodbye and Farewell Time Flies

After Tony left, the captain didn't even continue with his previous plan and went to talk to Zhou Yi. He originally wanted to blame Zhou Yi for the method used to end the war. The act of destroying hundreds of aircraft in an instant not only caused hundreds of billions of economic losses to the United States, but also caused heavy casualties to those expensive pilots.

You must know that even in the most developed country, the United States, it is not easy to train a qualified pilot. Especially now, this is even worse for the United States. In this attack, the long air defense line of the United States could not find a few suitable pilots to complete the scheduled cruise mission, which is really ridiculous. And the most critical problem is that they can't pull the retired pilots back from those civil aviation companies to deal with the current predicament. If you do that, it will only add another shame to the United States, which is already shameful enough.

So, he turned his idea on Zhou Yi. Even if this guy can't personally maintain the airspace security of the United States because of guilt, but with the strong strength of Huiyao City, it shouldn't be a problem to second a hundred or eighty excellent pilots.

This should have been a good thing, a good thing to relieve the pressure on the United States now. However, at this moment, the captain has no mood to continue.

Tony just broke away from the Avengers and devoted himself to the great work he's doing now. This was something he hadn't thought of from the very beginning. Moreover, he was unable to accuse Tony on this issue. Because if his career is successful, then his effect on this country will be greater than the effect of all the Avengers combined.

In terms of emotion and reason, he should not stop him, nor is he qualified to stop him. However, when he thought that he would lose the role of such a friend and opponent by his side, the captain had an uncomfortable thought in his heart.

This made him feel a little lost, so that he lost all interest. Such a mentality is naturally incompetent for a negotiation. So he could only sigh and came to a car parked on the side of the street, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

At this time, there was a black-haired man reading a newspaper in the driver's seat. When he heard the movement around him, he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and asked the captain.

"Why, did your negotiation go well? It's only been less than half an hour, or have you been brought up directly?"

"There was a little accident, and I'm a little confused right now, so I'm not suitable for any negotiation work."

"It's not like you, buddy. I thought that someone like you who has experienced so many scenes should have reached the point where he is calm now!"

Shaking his head, the black-haired man laughed.

At the same time, he started the car and turned into the traffic flow.

"I'm not a robot, I can be indifferent to everything. And the situation I'm encountering now is a completely unexpected thing even for me. To be honest, my heart is really complicated now, Feeling everything."

Under normal circumstances, the captain would not express his feelings casually. On the one hand, seventy years of deep sleep made him incompatible with the current era, and on the other hand, it was because as a leader, speaking out his inner voice was undoubtedly a problem-prone thing. It would be easy for others to spy on his heart, and this will bring great losses to his team.

However, the person in front of him was an exception. Because ever since the captain could remember, the person beside him was his closest friend. They talked about everything, and even said that if it weren't for their gender difference, they would have been able to register for marriage a long time ago.

This is by no means empty talk, because they are a very special existence to each other. So almost immediately, the black-haired man comforted him.

"Steve, cheer up. If even you can't cheer up, those people probably don't have much fighting spirit. You know, you are their backbone."

"I know, I know. It's just that sometimes I need a little respite. The burden is getting heavier and heavier, and I'm starting to wonder if I can pick it up. You know, from Judging from the current situation, what I did is not good, and it can even be said to be bad."

"But no one can deny your efforts, can they?" Even though the black-haired man was driving a car, he still cared about his friends around him and tried his best to enlighten him. "Listen, Steve. You're good enough at these things. It's just that you don't live up to your expectations. And that doesn't really matter to you, because that's what it is. It’s not something you and your team can grasp.”

"Just like the original war, even though our Roaring Commandos worked so hard, if there is no frontal offensive from the Allied Forces, do you think we can succeed? We are like a reef under the tide, if A lot, and maybe we can hold back the flood. If it's a little, it's a victory to keep us going, isn't it?"

"You always have a way of making me feel better, Bucky. If you're a woman, I mean if. Maybe we should change our way of life."

After listening to Bucky's enlightenment, the captain, who was in a better mood, began to talk to Bucky in a teasing tone. After hearing his words, the black-haired Bucky immediately shook his hand. Although he said that his mechanical arm should not have such a movement, he still reacted like this.

"Please, Steve. Can you please stop saying such horrible things. Especially when I'm still driving."

"I'm serious. After all, you have to know that we are brothers who grew up. Moreover, in terms of experience, I am afraid that there is no other person in this world who can share the same background as us."

"Come on you!" Rolling his eyes, Bucky suddenly showed a smile on his cold face. "I also want to see the enthusiasm of girls in this era. So, if you change your hobby, please try someone else, such as your new sidekick, the guy named Pete."

"Jennifer will rip me up, and even if she doesn't, Wanda will trap me in some gay magazine. So forget it."

Shaking his head, he ended his teasing. The captain fell silent again. At the same time, his face became silent.

Seeing this change in him, Bucky shook his head and asked.

"So where are you going to go next? Go back, or go to that place?"

This question caused the captain to remain silent for a long time. And Bucky didn't mean to interrupt him, he just drove the car, waiting for the moment of his response. And it wasn't until later that the captain quietly clenched his fists and made up his mind.

"Bucky, send me there. I think that's where I should be."

"Look out, Steve. No one can solve this kind of thing. I'm afraid even the so-called gods can't do anything about it."

Patting the captain on the shoulder, Bucky turned around and drove the car towards another place.

Today is a difficult day for the captain. It wasn't because he was negotiating with Zhou Yi, that kind of thing wouldn't make him look like this. It wasn't because of Tony's departure, it was something unplanned. And this difficulty was obviously within the plan. Moreover, it is still the captain's private matter.

He needed to see off an old friend, an old friend who meant a lot to him. And that was not easy for him. In fact, Bucky knew all too well that the former captain's uncharacteristically hippie grin was just a mask he hung on the outside. The real situation is that his heart is so uneasy and at a loss. It is even said that even facing this matter may require him to pay great courage.

As a best friend, he should have persuaded him and given him some advice. But it seems that in this kind of matter, he didn't make much effort. So all he can do is to give the captain a space to think. Of course, in the end, the captain still made a decision, a decision he thought should be made.

The car drove fast, and soon came to a high-level hospital in Huiyao City. After getting off the car, the captain rushed to a special ward with the lilies that Bucky had prepared for him.

There is only an old woman lying quietly on the bed as if asleep, and a blond woman with open eyes crying quietly in the ward. Seemingly surprised by the captain's appearance, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then stood up as if she suddenly realized. Said to the captain.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were back. Aunt still has some time, and I think she will be very happy to have you to accompany her in this last time."

After saying this, the blond woman backed out quietly. The captain just put down the lily in his hand without saying a word, and then sat quietly in front of the old woman, while quietly holding her wrinkled palm.

Seventy years ago, they held each other like this. It's just that they didn't expect that seventy years later, they would reproduce everything in that year in this way, in such a completely different way.

The feeling of alienation of this era and the unspeakable heartache that have always existed in the captain made him just silently stare at the old woman in front of him. Until she quietly woke up.

Seeing the existence of the captain, the old woman was not too surprised. She just smiled slightly before speaking to the captain.

"God is kind to me after all, allowing me to take a look at you at the last moment, Steve!"

"Sorry, Paige. We're not supposed to be like this. We're supposed to be lying side by side, accepting this final moment together."

Lifting the old woman's hand, the captain quietly kissed the back of her hand. That was something he should have done many years ago, but now he has the opportunity to do so. It was too late, for any of them, it was too late. The madness and absurdity of this kind of impermanence made the captain really feel that fate really played a huge joke on himself.

Just, at this time. The old woman did not agree with what he said, but quietly raised her hand and touched his side face.

"You know, Steve. I'm not complaining about that. What I actually miss the most right now is your promise to me, remember?"

"Remember, I owe you a dance. See you at the Stuke Club on Saturday."

In a word, the captain was already in tears. He is very clear that this promise will be extended again, and it will be permanent. And this cruel reality was enough to make his old heart feel unspeakable pain. However, this is not the case for the old woman.

"That's enough, Steve. That's enough!"

The smile was still on her face, but her hand had slipped down quietly. Time took away her last strength, but left her with the best memories. This is fortunate and unfortunate. At least, for the captain, it looks like this. (To be continued.)
