Chapter 558 Long Time No See
"Are you sure Captain and the others asked us to wait here, Stark?"
A man with long blond hair and a thick beard looked at the Playboy in front of him, whose beard was just as long as his own. Before everything happened, no one would have imagined that a playboy would become so unkempt.
"At least the voice coming from the Communicator was definitely his." Tony rolled his eyes. "I asked for the code, and I even had Natasha and the others speak. Relax, Thor, I'm definitely more careful than you."
"Of course, if they've been Controlled, then forget I said anything."
Thor looked at the man's meticulous demeanor. He opened his Mouth several times but finally obediently closed it. He knew that if he pressed further, he would only be met with a barrage of verbal attacks.
Although the other party was originally someone who never admitted defeat, he had become even more neurotic since the Woman he loved died.
To keep his Ears clear, it was better to shut up early. Besides, their current Identities were not suitable for loud arguments.
At this moment, Thor and Tony were hiding in a dilapidated Building. The reason for choosing this place was not only because it had a good view, allowing them to observe the surrounding scenery while evading Thanos's Subordinates' pursuit.
Even more so because it was theoretically a dangerous Building. Even without Tony's precise calculations, Thor could tell just by looking that the Building was only one arm's length away from collapsing.
The dangerous Building was the Reason Tony chose it, because the danger encountered here was likely only the Building that could collapse at any Time.
Even an Idiot knows that dangerous Buildings should not be entered casually. This is common sense. Under normal circumstances, most Ordinary person would choose a safer place.
Thanos's Army naturally also knew this. Although Earth had ostensibly been captured by Thanos, the Creatures on Earth had not all been killed, and Humans were naturally among them.
After the main resistance Faction was defeated, the remaining small fry, let alone Thanos, even the Outrider Corps wouldn't bother with them, because Thanos's Goal was only the Infinity Stones. Meaningless killing would only waste his Time.
But even so, 80% of the Humans on Earth were still killed by Thanos's Army. Among them were resistance Faction and innocent unlucky people who lost their Lives when they were affected by the AOE.
The remaining Humans hid in Panic. After a period of Time, when Thanos's Army became a little more settled due to searching for the Gem, and because there was no Government or Law to restrain them, the ugliness of Humanity was revealed.
Some established themselves as kings, and others became Human Traitor, passing News to Aliens. In short, in a slightly more intact Building, the probability of encountering Bad Person is very high.
If they saw the Avengers, who were being counted by Thanos, the result would be predictable, because these Avengers had even turned Swords against their original Compatriot.
This Feeling was not good. There were already external enemies, and Humans were still fighting each other crazily. The evil of Humanity made Steve lose his Smile. Therefore, when the Avengers encountered survivors, they helped as many as possible and almost never absorbed outsiders.
This led to the fact that although their Shelter was small, it was indeed one of the most orderly and safest places on Earth now, perhaps even the only one.
And today, Tony and Thor left their safe Shelter because they were sent out to search for Supplies and try to contact the News brought back by Steve's Team.
In the Communication, someone who seemed to be Steve brought them a lot of good News, including finding the Plumbers' Base, where they not only found ample Food but also intact Technology Facility.
However, compared to the News that followed, these were not worth mentioning. The biggest good News Steve brought was that they had contacted the Plumbers, which had disappeared for more than two years, and obtained their Support.
All of this went so smoothly that the Boss of Stark Industries, who had been failing for two years and had forgotten the Feeling of smooth sailing, couldn't help but become suspicious. Honestly, after falling Sleep in the Laboratory, he did have a Dream, and it was a Sweet dream.
But even Dreams were not as good as the Reality Steve reported. Let alone Tony, any Ordinary person would feel suspicious.
For this Reason, Tony specially convened the important Figures of the Shelter to gather for a meeting. The topic was whether it was possible that Steve and the others had already been Controlled.
The result of the discussion was fifty-fifty. Some thought they had been Controlled, and others believed in Miracles and felt that Reality should be like this.
The discussion went on endlessly. In the end, Tony decided to witness it with his own Eyes. After all, although Reason told him that the possibility of it being a Trap was greater, he couldn't help but fantasize about the Miracle happening.
For this Reason, he called upon Thor, who was decadent but still the peak of Combat Power in the Shelter. The two of them went to the place agreed upon with Steve. If it was really a Trap, although he might die, Thor should be able to break through the encirclement and bring back the News.
The worst result would be both of them dying together. The Shelter still had other Asgardians, although not as good as Thor, but they had the advantage in numbers. Bruce Banner and Shuri could replace his duties.
So even if the two of them really didn't return, it was still within the Shelter's acceptable range. Not to mention that they had also trained many people in the Shelter in the past two years. As long as not too many people died at once, the Shelter would not collapse.
Complex thoughts flashed through his Brain. Tony put down the Telescope, lowered his head, and glanced at the Time. He found that there were only ten minutes left until the agreed Time. Then, he carefully led Thor out of the dangerous Building and hurried towards the Destination.
It was a dessert shop, Randy's Donuts, one of Tony's favorite Donut shops. Even during his palladium poisoning period, he couldn't forget this taste.
But now half of the Donut House had collapsed, and only half of the House was still standing, which perfectly matched Tony's dangerous Building safety theory.
Without any surprises or dangers, they sneaked to the back Door of the Donut shop. Tony calmed his Mood, knocked on the Door panel three times according to the agreed code, and the Door opened not long after.
To Tony and Thor's slight Reassured, the person who opened the Door was none other than Steve himself. After seeing that it was Tony and Thor, the other party put down the Shield in his Hand, then winked and stepped aside to let the two into the House.
As soon as they entered the House, the two saw the other Team members. Everyone looked travel-worn, but their expressions were much better than before. Passing by these familiar Figures, the two immediately noticed Gutrot, who was burly and very conspicuous.
"Long time no see, you two." Gutrot waved his Hand and greeted the two people with complex expressions.
"Are you sure Captain and the others asked us to wait here, Stark?"
