American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Huh~

Take a deep breath and withdraw your gaze from Howard's [Time Fragment].

Colin turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car that was constantly receding, as well as Hawkeye and Howard who were curled up on both sides, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

It was not long ago.

They were still in their residence, destroying the tracking Ultron.

Now, he is sitting in a taxi with me, and he has no such powerful and mysterious temperament as before.

"Excuse me..."

Colin couldn't help asking, attracting the attention of everyone in the taxi.

"Don't you have a more suitable means of transportation for this kind of scene?"

"But taking a taxi is also the most convenient and concealed." In the driver's seat, Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., turned the steering wheel to complete the overtaking lane: "My identity is registered with the 'New York Taxi Workers Union'. I am a legal taxi driver and can help us avoid many unnecessary troubles."

It seems that you are really a taxi driver.

Before, when Colin saw Nick and Howard and others appear together, he thought that his identity as a taxi driver was just a disguise.

As a result, it turned out that the other party was not only a taxi driver, but also a registered driver who joined the union.

On one side was Natasha, the former Black Widow agent of SHIELD, who registered as a superhero.

On the other side was Nick Fury, the former director of SHIELD, who registered as a taxi driver.

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

...

Just like that, in a moment of silence.

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

Colin followed Howard and others out of the taxi and saw a manor that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

There were cracks all around the manor, especially the walls, most of which had collapsed, revealing the cement bricks inside. At the same time, the manor was overgrown with grass and trees, and dead trees fell in the grass as high as a person, and moss and weeds covered every corner of the manor.

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

"Where is this?"

With Howard's guidance, Colin stepped on the wildly growing bushes in the manor and passed a collapsed fountain.

"The base of the Dark Avengers."

Walking in front, Howard said in a deep voice.

Dark Avengers! Base?

After 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 mentioned by the other party.

In addition, the Dark Avengers.

Repeating this familiar name silently, Colin looked back at the back of Howard in front of him.

Obviously, the Dark Avengers in the other party's mouth and the Dark Avengers in his impression are completely different.

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

He watched Howard and his group enter a collapsed wall entrance as if they were familiar with the road, and followed closely behind them. The group passed through the equally dilapidated interior of the manor and finally stopped in front of a wall that didn't look special.

Stretch out the mechanical palm of your left hand and press it somewhere on the wall.

With a series of complex mechanical twisting sounds, the seemingly shabby wall opened to reveal the underground base full of technology.

"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 the situation of Hydra."

Coming to the control 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 heard Howard's address to artificial intelligence, and his eyes changed slightly.

Tony Stark, the son who died in a car accident with Howard in the report, and Iron Man.

"So far, there is no abnormality. The doctor does not seem to know about the activation of Ultron I."

In front of the control console, hearing the answer of artificial intelligence Tony, Howard was silent for a while, and then continued to give orders.

"Keep monitoring."

"Understood."

...

[Contacted the distorted time node, collected a small amount of time fragments x 1]

Manhattan, 890 Fifth Avenue.

In a temporary residence in the secret base.

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

This piece of [time fragment] was not obtained from other people in the base, but from a person he had contacted before-Nick Fury.

It seems that the acquisition of [time fragments] is not only the first contact, but can be obtained repeatedly.

This is undoubtedly good news for Colin.

It means that the objects and methods he can obtain [time fragments] have greatly increased, and it is no longer like before, only by looking for possible [distorted time nodes] again and again to obtain a small amount of [time fragments]. If, if you want to rely solely on this method to obtain fragments, in order to collect enough [time fragments] to condense the [bronze mark], Colin must at least contact more than 30 or 40 targets.

Not to mention, there are other marks above the [bronze mark].

But why is it Nick Fury?

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

There is no doubt that there was no special contact between him and Nick Fury along the way. The only thing he gained was that he knew that the other party was a registered worker taxi driver through the "New York Taxi Workers Union".

If there is only one difference, it is the number of times the two met.

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

So, the way to get a new [Time Fragment] is to contact the target again?

No, it shouldn't be that simple.

Thinking about the difference between the two contacts, Colin gradually made a judgment in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of the different intersections.

The first meeting only produced an intersection, and the initial [Time Fragment] was obtained.

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

This is also why, although he, Nick Fury, Howard, and Hawkeye were sitting in the same taxi before, Howard and Clint's [time fragments] appeared first, while Nick's [time fragments] did not appear until he brought Colin to the temporary residence in this base.
