"What are you doing?"
The man glared menacingly at Tao Wen, his anger fueled by Tao Wen's refusal to move. He came here to relax, not to be annoyed.
"See you later."
Tao Wen subtly glanced at the Winter Soldier and quickly walked away. The man finally relented and sat back down, resuming his meal.
"What a coincidence."
Tao Wen murmured softly, his gaze sweeping across the room in search of Rogers.
"You're here."
Just as Tao Wen was about to move, Rogers's deep voice reached his ears.
"Here."
Tao Wen turned his head and saw Rogers sitting just a few meters from the Winter Soldier, though a landscape tree was between them, blocking the view.
"Sit down."
Rogers said to Tao Wen with a smile. He no longer held the previous hatred. He had learned about Tao Wen through S.H.I.E.L.D.
He also knew that he had wrongly blamed Tao Wen, and that Tao Wen, like him, was someone who had been traumatized by Hydra.
He had lost the most important person to him, while Tao Wen, although here, didn't have much time left.
"Tao, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I thought you were with Hydra before."
Rogers poured two shots of Vodka, handing one to Tao Wen.
"It's nothing."
Tao Wen readily accepted the Vodka and clasped hands with the Captain.
Fragment +1
As he downed the Vodka, the fiery alcohol went straight down his throat to his stomach, a distinct line of sensation that surprised Tao Wen.
In the past, he would have passed out immediately. But now, with his enhanced physique, this small amount of alcohol wouldn't harm him at all.
"Good drinking!"
Tao Wen finished his drink in one gulp, causing Rogers's eyes to light up. He liked these straightforward people, which also aligned with their past drinking habits. Ever since he received the super-soldier serum, he wasn't easily drunk. Sipping his drinks was out of the question.
"Tao, you know, this bar has a long history. It was already here before I went into cryosleep. I was just a young sprout back then, and I have a lot of memories here."
Rogers held his glass, his gaze fixed on the folk singer, his eyes filled with a sense of the passage of time.
"Drink up."
Tao Wen raised his glass and said to Rogers.
He knew Rogers wasn't just drinking; he was drinking the passage of time, the vicissitudes of life, and loneliness.
As for him, he was just drinking. He wasn't particularly fond of Vodka; he preferred the refreshing taste of Baijiu, which reminded him of home.
"Rogers."
After they clinked glasses and finished two shots, Tao Wen addressed Rogers.
"I've heard about what you've been through, and I know you hate Hydra. I feel the same way. How about we form a small alliance and fight against Hydra together?"
Tao Wen's eyes flickered as he looked at Rogers. As someone who understood the Marvel universe, he knew the world was currently in chaos. Although Hydra seemed to have disappeared, it was still around, even within S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D. might not be safe either. Forming an alliance early on would provide new opportunities.
"Agreed!"
Rogers, who had the same intention, raised his glass and clinked it with Tao Wen: "From now on, we fight Hydra together."
"So, what do you plan to do?"
After finishing his drink, Rogers looked at Tao Wen with a glimmer in his eyes.
Ever since he woke up, he had harbored a deep hatred for Hydra, wishing to eradicate them completely.
"Rogers, you probably don't know the current situation."
Tao Wen said, "On the surface, Hydra has been destroyed. But deep down, they're in hiding. We can only search for them, not launch a direct attack. Otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have wiped them out long ago."
"That is indeed a problem. The ocean is vast; finding them is incredibly difficult."
Rogers frowned slightly. He had thought about this problem too, but didn't know where to start.
"But, there's an opportunity right now."
Tao Wen looked at Rogers with a light smile.
"An opportunity? Are the Hydra people in this bar?"
Rogers' eyes lit up, looking at Tao Wen with a hint of excitement.
"Yes."
Tao Wen's gaze focused on the man beside Winter Soldier: "They're just a few meters away from us."
"Really?"
Rogers' eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to stand up and grab those Hydra bastards.
"Don't rush. Let them leave first. We'll move then. We need to play the long game," Tao Wen said to Rogers. He wanted to know how many others were around.
"Alright, let's drink," Rogers said.
He wasn't a rookie after all, just a bit excited. He immediately raised his glass and clinked it with Tao Wen's.
Queen's Bar.
It was no longer as lively as before. The earlier explosion had ruined business here.
It had also caused serious malfunctions in the wiring system, and a lot of paint had been damaged and needed to be replaced. So, the owner had closed the bar for a week.
After nightfall, the area outside the bar was deserted. Aside from a few couples lingering at the entrance, there was no one else. This was in stark contrast to the King's Bar across the street.
At this moment, two beautiful women approached the bar.
"Natasha, I'm really sorry about yesterday. I didn't expect such a turn of events!"
An older woman walked in front. Her swaying figure and heavy makeup hinted at past glory. Although she was no longer young, she was still full of charm. She spoke with an apologetic expression.
"Medusa, it's not your fault. You just need to show me the video."
Natasha, in a white shirt, followed closely behind, her alluring figure attracting the attention of many men. However, seeing Medusa, they didn't dare to approach.
They all knew Medusa was not someone to be trifled with. If you wanted to draw your sword, you had to be prepared to get cut.
"Of course."
Medusa opened the shop door and switched on the backup power.
The bar lit up immediately, though it was still quite desolate.
Natasha walked directly into the control room and began searching.
"My beautiful girl, when will we be back to normal?"
Medusa looked at the bar with a bit of helplessness, speaking with heartache. She wasn't good with the monitoring equipment; it all depended on Natasha.
"Found it!"
After some searching, Natasha finally found the monitor that had been burned black.
She quickly began to operate it, starting to view the footage on the device.
With the appearance of the projection, the events of yesterday were immediately replayed.
She wanted to see exactly who had the guts to attack her. Once she found out, she would make them regret ever being born!
Medusa also looked over curiously.
Natasha's eyes were fixed on the recording. She saw a familiar figure, and after several minutes, she finally understood what had happened, causing her to grit her teeth so hard it felt like she might shatter them!
Fierce flames of anger erupted in her beautiful eyes.
"Cheers."
Rogers was starting to enjoy himself. After downing eight shots of Vodka, he was a little tipsy and wanted to drink with Tao Wen until dawn.
"Rogers, move."
Tao Wen's gaze never left the man beside the Winter Soldier. He immediately said to the Winter Soldier,
"Alright."
Rogers suddenly sobered up.
He put down his glass and followed the man outside with Tao Wen.
