Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 38 The Base
Call ~
Taking a deep breath, he looked away from Howard's [Time Shard].

Colin turned his head to look at the constantly receding scenery outside the car, and Hawkeye and Howard sitting curled up on both sides, with strange expressions on their faces.

Obviously not long ago.

They were still in their residence and destroyed Ultron who was following them.

Right now, she was sitting in a taxi with herself, without the powerful and mysterious temperament before.

"May I ask a question..."

The opening of the mouth attracted the attention of everyone in the taxi, and Ke Lin couldn't help asking.

"Don't you guys have a vehicle that is more suitable for the current situation?"

"However, taking a taxi is also the most convenient and deceptive." In the driver's seat, former S.H.I.E.L.D. Legitimate taxi drivers can help us avoid many unnecessary troubles."

Feelings, you are really a taxi driver.

Before seeing Nick appearing with Howard and others, Colin thought that his identity as a taxi driver was just a disguise.

In the end, it sounded like this, the other party was not only a taxi driver, but also a driver registered with a trade union.

On one side is Natasha the Black Widow, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, registered to be a superhero.

On one side is former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, a registered taxi driver.

Comparing the two, Colin didn't know how to react for a while.

……

And so, in a moment of silence.

Nick drove the taxi and stopped in front of a ruin: "Okay, here we are."

Colin followed Howard and they got out of the taxi, and what they saw was a manor that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

There are cracks all over the manor, especially around the walls, most of which have collapsed to expose the cement stone bricks inside. At the same time, the manor is overgrown with dead trees falling in the tall grass, and the moss and weeds are all over the place. every corner of the estate.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where people can live.

"here is?"

Led by Howard, Colin stepped on the wild bushes in the manor and passed a collapsed fountain.

"Base of the Dark Avengers."

Walking in front, Howard said in a deep voice.

Dark Avengers!base?

Hearing Howard's answer, Colin couldn't help turning his head to look at the scene in the manor. To be honest, it was difficult for him to connect the ruins in front of him with the base that the other party said.

Plus, Dark Avengers.

After silently repeating the familiar name, Colin looked back at the back of Howard in front of him.

Obviously, the dark avenger that the other party said was completely different from what he knew in his impression.

In this way, he walked behind Howard for a while.

He watched Howard and his group enter a collapsed wall entrance like a familiar vehicle, and followed closely behind.A group of people walked through the same dilapidated interior of the manor, and finally stopped in front of a wall that didn't look like anything special.

Stretch out the mechanical palm of your left hand, aim at a certain place on the wall and press down.

Accompanied by a series of complex mechanical twisting sounds, the seemingly dilapidated walls opened to reveal the technological underground base inside.

"Welcome home……"

At the same time, a slightly frivolous voice sounded.

"It seems that your actions are smoother than expected..."

Hearing the voice from the base, the cold expression on Howard's face seemed to soften a little.

"Tony, report on Hydera's situation."

Coming to the console of the base, Howard inserted the modified mechanical arm of his left hand into it to rest, and asked at the same time.

Tony?

In the base, Colin's eyes changed slightly when he heard Howard's name for artificial intelligence.

Tony Stark, the reported son of Howard who was accidentally killed in a car accident with Howard, and Iron Man.

"So far, there is no abnormality. The doctor seems to be unaware of the activation of Ultron I."

In front of the console, Howard was silent for a moment when he heard the answer from the artificial intelligence Tony, and then continued to order.

"Continue to monitor."

"learn."

……

[Contact the distorted time node, collect a small amount of time fragments × 1]

Manhattan, 890 Fifth Avenue.

In a temporary residence in the secret base.

Colin looked at the content of the text with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This piece of [Time Fragment] was not obtained by him from other people in the base, but an object he had come into contact with before——Nick Fury.

From this point of view, the acquisition of [Time Shards] is not only the first contact, but can be obtained repeatedly.

This is undoubtedly good news for Colin.

It means that the objects and ways he can obtain [Time Fragments] have greatly increased. It is no longer like before, he can only obtain a small amount of [Time Fragments] by looking for possible [Distorted Time Nodes] one after another.If you simply rely on this method to obtain fragments, if you want to collect enough [Time Fragments] to condense the [Bronze Mark], Ke Lin must at least contact more than thirty or forty people.

Not to mention, there are other marks above the [Bronze Mark].

Just, why Nick Fury?

His eyes fell on the [Time Fragment (Nick Fury)] in front of him, and Colin began to seriously recall the experience along the way.

Undoubtedly, there was no special contact between him and Nick Fury along the way, and the only gain was knowing that the other party was a union taxi driver registered with the 'New York Taxi Workers Union'.

If the only difference is the number of times the two meet.

This is the second time Colin has met Nick Fury after taking a taxi home.

So, the way to get new [Time Shards] is to reconnect with the target?

No, it shouldn't be that simple.

Thinking about the difference between the two encounters, Colin gradually came to a judgment in his heart.

Perhaps because the resulting intersections are different.

The first time they met, just had an intersection, and they could get the original [Time Fragments].

And next, if you want to get more [Time Fragments], you need to form more contact with the target.

This is why, before he sat in the same taxi with Nick Fury, Howard and Hawkeye, but Howard and Clint's [Time Fragment] was the first to be produced, while Nick's [Time Fragment] was He didn't appear until he brought Colin to the temporary residence of this base.
