Chapter 84 Take it slow, Captain
The warm, bright afternoon sunlight was streaming in through the window.
The radio on the cabinet was broadcasting a very exciting and intense baseball game live.
"The Philadelphia team has tied the game, and the Dodgers still have three players on the field... Pitch! It's over Grimson...! Rizzo scores, and Reiser runs to third!"
Perhaps because he hadn't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time, Steve Rogers felt exceptionally comfortable.
He slowly sat up in bed, but then noticed something was wrong.
"Good morning, Captain, you're awake." A woman dressed as an office worker pushed open the door and walked in.
"Where am I now?" Steve rubbed his eyes and asked.
"A post-operative recovery room in New York." The woman had a smile on her face, making it impossible to read her thoughts.
Just then, the radio crackled to life: "The Dodgers are leading 8-4!"
The live score broadcast made Steve frown slightly.
The strange feeling in my heart intensified.
"Where am I right now?" Steve asked seriously.
"Uh...in New York..."
"No, no," Steve decisively interrupted the woman. "I watched that game live."
The air instantly fell into a deep silence and awkwardness.
The smile on the woman's face vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of surprise and fear.
"I'll ask you one more time, where am I?"
Steve Rogers stood up alertly and stepped forward.
If this is not a place he is familiar with, then it is very likely an enemy stronghold.
Otherwise, why would they keep it from me?
The woman didn't answer, but silently pressed the button in her hand.
The door behind her opened again, and two fully armed agents walked out.
That should make Steve obediently comply, right?
"Bang—! Bang—!"
The next second, only the sound of fists colliding with bodies could be heard twice.
Two agents flew through the thin wall and out.
When Steve rushed out of the room, he saw that the so-called wall was nothing more than cardboard.
I am in another, enormous space.
The moment he rushed out, alarms blared, and a whole team of special agents arrived.
But these guys are nowhere near as good as super soldiers—
In no time at all, they were all taken down by Steve Rogers.
"Hey! Captain! Calm down, okay? I can explain everything!"
Seeing that the situation was at risk of getting completely out of control, Nick Fury quickly appeared, trying to persuade Steve not to act impulsively.
Steve looked at Fury, who was dressed in a fine coat and holding a gun, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"And who are you? A Hydra lackey?"
"No, I am Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., formerly known as the Strategic Scientific Reserve."
Fury thought to himself, "You know about the Strategic Science Reserve, right? You've even been in contact with them."
However, to everyone's surprise, Steve Rogers didn't buy this explanation at all.
Although he was not racially prejudiced, the situation before him was clearly not convincing at all.
What laws would a Black person break to become the director of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, let alone work and carry a gun here?
It seems like an impossible thing no matter how you look at it, right?
Steve roared and lunged at Nick Fury, trying to subdue him directly.
If the black man in front of you really has a job, then he is definitely not in the United States, but somewhere else.
If that's the case, then where is it if not a Hydra base?
The mere thought of Hydra sent Steve Rogers' fighting spirit soaring.
"How...how could this happen?" Nick Fury was incredulous and quickly activated the pager function on his phone—
"What's wrong now, you old bastard Fury?"
From the other end of the phone came a voice that Steve knew all too well.
He slowly released his hands that were restraining Nick Fury and stood up.
"Cough cough cough... You're suffocating me."
"Fury, you old bastard, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."
"Hey, wait! Come right now, please come save me!"
After saying that, Fury hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Based on his understanding of the person on the other end of the phone, he knew that unless he created an extremely urgent situation, the other party would simply ignore him.
"Sir...it's you! Long time no see!"
The next second, Qin Wuying appeared in front of Steve Rogers.
"Yes, it's me. Don't worry, I'll explain."
Qin Wuying nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and then turned to face Nick Fury.
"You can't even handle this simple thing, you made my vacation come to an abrupt end."
Since returning from the past, he has been on vacation with Lucy for about two months.
But who would complain about a long holiday?
"Sigh, if I could, I'd wish I could be on vacation forever."
Qin Wuying sighed, his dissatisfaction with Fury evident in his expression.
And needless to say, he knew exactly where the problem lay; he'd seen the movie.
"Seriously, are your people idiots? Why would you play a game that Steve watched live?"
"How did you know?" Fury asked, looking surprised.
As more and more people made such precognitive claims, Fury became increasingly convinced that Qin Wuying possessed mind-reading abilities.
Qin Wuying rolled her eyes at Fury and didn't want to talk to him.
After exchanging pleasantries with Steve Rogers, Qin Wuying briefly explained the current situation.
"You mean I've been asleep for decades?"
"Yes, that's about it."
"Oh no... I have an appointment to go to..."
Steve's expression betrayed his disappointment. Although he had survived, he hadn't been able to be with Carter.
"Wait, I have a question that I'm very curious about," Steve suddenly said, staring at Qin Wuying's face.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Since so many years have passed, how come you haven't aged at all, sir?"
Oh no, it's that problem again.
After Dr. Zola saw him before, the latter went crazy and demanded the secret of immortality from him.
Now Steve has the same question.
Well, that's true. After all, decades have passed; it's impossible for someone's appearance to remain unchanged.
"Hmm... I'm a mage, so naturally I have some little secrets."
Qin Wuying decided not to reveal his time travel for the time being.
Although Steve's curiosity was not quelled, he nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Steve trusted Qin Wuying completely, and he had his reasons for believing in him.
After Captain America accepted the fact that he had been asleep for decades, Qin Wuying led him out of the closed room.
After taking a deep breath, Steve took the first step into a new era.
It is surrounded by skyscrapers and giant electronic screens;
The noise of cars and people filled Steve's ears;
The dazzling streets, colorful lights, and goods captivated Steve's eyes.
"It's alright, Captain, you can take your time."
Qin Wuying patted Steve on the shoulder.
However, as superheroes appeared one by one, Qin Wuying knew very well—
There isn't much time left to take it slow.
