Leo didn't expect Bucky's reaction to be so violent, so he quickly comforted: "Don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."
When Bucky sat down, Leo asked, "Why do you think Steve can't be alive?"
"Why do you think Steve is still alive!?" Bucky retorted subconsciously, but felt that it was too unreasonable, then took a deep breath, suppressed the bad temper in his heart, and began to explain with a complicated expression. ,
"I used to be controlled by Hydra, except for the occasional remarks from Sienna and Zola, I never had a chance to systematically learn about Steve.
After escaping with you, I have been investigating related matters. Although the history books clearly state that Steve and the Red Skull perished together, I had high hopes.
But then Natasha came. Through her channel, I learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been looking for Steve for ten years after he disappeared!
But ten years have passed, but nothing has been found...
And now, more than 50 years have passed since then. Steve is not the kind of heartless person. If he was still alive, he would definitely not be willing to wander outside for 50 years, and he would definitely take the initiative to go home.
This also means that if I haven't seen him in fifty years, he must be dead! "
Speaking of the latter, Bucky's voice became smaller and smaller, revealing sadness.
Leo patiently listened to Bucky's long list of explanations, and seemed to understand Bucky's psychology.
He just shouted "it's impossible" in surprise just now, it doesn't mean he doesn't want Steve to live,
It was because he had reluctantly admitted the fact that Steve had died, and he did not want others to give him hopeless hope, and in the end it was just a sad disappointment.
Thinking of this, Leo felt that he needed a more powerful way to express the fact that "Steve is still alive", so as to fully mobilize Bucky's enthusiasm and make him eagerly work hard to complete the upcoming handover His mission, not as pessimistic as it is now
Leo organized the language: "You know the character of the ancient one, right?"
Bucky nodded: "I heard you and Lorena told me, but I haven't seen it."
"If you have a chance, you can go and see her. She is an ancient with true wisdom. She has existed on the earth for thousands of years."
"How long can people live??" Bucky was really distracted by this phenomenon that was far from common sense.
"Others can't, but Venerable Gu Yi can." Leo nodded vigorously, "but this is not the point I want to emphasize to you, what I want to tell you is that Venerable Gu Yi has a special ability, she can To a certain extent, seeing the past and seeing the future.”
Leo couldn't tell Bucky in detail that Gu Yi was able to see through the past and the future because of the time gem, so he could only pass it on vaguely like this.
Bucky didn't ask the specific reason, but quietly waited for Leo's next words.
Leo began to make up nonsense: "I know that Steve is not alive or dead, and he has been missing for fifty years, and I also suspected that he is still alive. So, the last time I stayed at Kama Taj , I asked Master Gu Yi about this matter."
Leo looked into Bucky's eyes, "The Ancient One used her abilities to do some calculations. She told me that Steve was still alive, but was frozen in the snow in the north!"
Bucky immediately wanted to refute, even if he was frozen in the snow, his metabolism was slow, but he couldn't bear it if he didn't eat or drink for 50 years.
When he was put into dormancy by Hydra back then, not only did he have a rich supply of nutrient solution, but when he was not on a mission, he would be awakened every three or five years, in order to avoid degeneration or even death of his bodily functions.
Steve stayed under the ice sheet for more than fifty years, how could he survive? ?
But who told the mysterious ancient one to say this, think about the magical portal spell, and think about the gorgeous magic in the hands of the mages a week ago.
The most important thing is that Gu Yi didn't have to lie to Leo, and Leo didn't even need to lie to himself.
As these thoughts were mulled over and over in Bucky's mind, his eyes brightened and his mood grew: Steve is still alive, he's frozen under the thick layer of ice in the snowfield, I'm going to find he!
Leo noticed the change in Bucky's temperament, just like a dead old tree suddenly revitalized.
He immediately understood that Bucky had accepted the fact that Steve was still alive, and thus had endless motivation.
So Leo took advantage of the situation and said, "I came to you today, just to give you the task of finding Captain America.
Venerable Gu Yi said at the beginning that although Steve is still alive, his vitality is very weak. Fifty years is too long for ordinary people, and it is a great loss to his physical function. He is very weak now, so Let's hurry up and find him. "
This is Leo talking nonsense. Leo doesn't know how long Steve can last, but there is absolutely no problem in persisting for another twenty years.
Leo's deliberate lie was exactly what Bucky was worried about. His face immediately showed urgency: "Where is Steve buried? I'm going to find him."
"This is the difficulty of finding Steve." Leo stretched out a prepared map and circled a large area for Bucky to see.
"Despite my great efforts and the help of Venerable One Ancient One, the final determined location where Steve may be buried is still hundreds of square kilometers."
Leo pointed to the red circle, "We're going to find Captain America in this hundreds of square kilometers of snow."
Bucky's brows furrowed immediately. The area of hundreds of square kilometers is the size of the entire Washington DC.
What's more, there is a harsh ice environment there, and the sky is full of snow all year round. Not only is there a lack of supplies, but also the visibility is not high, which makes the search and rescue work more difficult.
No matter how difficult it was, Bucky would look for it. He grabbed the map, stood up, and resolutely said: "Although the area of hundreds of square kilometers is very large, I am wearing a winter uniform, and slowly put every corner of the Flying over and over and searching in a carpet style will take a year and a half at most.
I am willing to spend this time looking for it! "
"Hey, I said don't get excited first, sit down, I have a safer and faster way to find Steve." Leo quickly comforted Bucky who was emotionally overwhelmed.
"What can I do?" Bucky sat down and looked at Leo blankly.
Leo didn't say his own method directly, but scolded Bucky: "You said that you are usually so mature and stable, and you can be the second-in-command of our army, but when Steve is involved, why are you in a mess? Woolen cloth!"
Bucky scratched his head embarrassedly and said sorry, he was too worried about the safety of his good friend.
But Leo's scolding didn't stop, "One hundred square kilometers is not small, but it's not too big. The kind of carpet search you just said took a year and a half to complete the entire ice sheet. again.
But, have you overlooked a question, did Steve just lie down on the surface of the ice sheet, waiting for you to pick it up? !
More than 50 years have passed, even if he crashed on the surface at the time, and experienced such a blow, he still doesn't know how thick the snow and ice is on his body!
The more likely situation for him is to be frozen in an unknown depth under the ice sheet!
How do you find it without any reference?
If you dig every piece of the ice sheet three feet into the ground, is a year and a half enough time? Even in ten or eight years, you can't finish it!
And, how do you make sure Steve isn't under three feet? How can you guarantee that when you are digging three feet in the ground, you will not dig Steve full of holes! ? "
Leo's words were not alarmist, but just stating a fact.
According to the plot of the movie, Captain America is indeed buried in the ground, lying in the crashed plane. At first, the plane was exposed at a corner, so that it was detected by the survey team.
But now the timeline has advanced by a full 17 years, no one can be sure if the corner of the plane is exposed!
