Chapter 23: Quicksilver was fooled

On the white snow, Quicksilver led a team of soldiers walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There was a heavy snow yesterday, and the thickness of the snow on the ground was as high as thirty centimeters. Quicksilver cursed as he walked.

"Fuck! I'm sick of eating penguin and sea lion meat every day!"

It’s not Pietro’s fault that he keeps complaining, it’s mainly because what Carl did was indeed a bit unkind.

A trick is used to trick people into going to the Arctic and having them live with ice and snow all day long.

Only a useless guy like Carl could do this.

The reason why Carl tricked Quicksilver into going to the North Pole was actually to transfer him away.

During that time, Quicksilver accompanied his sister Wanda every day and kept a close watch on Carl, fearing that Carl would deceive his innocent and kind sister.

So Carl had to draw a big round pie and finally trick Quicksilver away with some persuasion.

So Quicksilver was tricked into staying in the Arctic for a full half year, so naturally he felt very resentful.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

Quicksilver and his companions were walking in the snow in the howling cold wind. There was silence all around except for the sound of footsteps.

"call"

Quicksilver pulled down his windshield mask to breathe in fresh air. The hot air he exhaled met the extreme cold outside and quickly formed snow-white ice crystals that condensed on his face.

When he first arrived at the North Pole, Quicksilver felt arrogant.

With his super speed, no matter how big the Arctic is, he can explore it all in no time.

It was not until he actually arrived at the uninhabited Arctic that he realized he had taken things for granted.

First, there was the severe cold, which even his physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary person could not withstand.

Just a few days after arriving at the North Pole, Quicksilver fell ill.

In this snowy and uninhabited area, if they hadn't brought enough supplies, Quicksilver would have almost died from a minor illness like hypothermia and fever.

Later, Quicksilver also found that the North Pole was too big, even though he had super speed.

But I want to explore the entire Arctic.

Even if he could travel several times the speed of sound, it would still be impossible to accomplish.

Later on, when the crash site of Old Antique could not be found, Quicksilver began to doubt Carl's original intention.

Carl had vowed that the crash site of the first superhero in the last century was the North Pole.

Now Quicksilver thought seriously that Carl might have heard the gossip from somewhere and just said it casually, and he was fooled into it.

So much so that after searching for more than a month, he wanted to give up, but at that time Carl and Wanda were in a passionate relationship.

Wanda also gradually got used to living alone with Carl.

Wanda, who had become someone else's little cotton-padded jacket, had already stood on Carl's side at that time, so she privately advised him to look for more Quicksilver.

So Quicksilver had no choice but to continue staying in the Arctic and suffering, watching Carl and Wanda live in their own world.

"Wanda is really a womanizer. She just left me aside when she got a boyfriend. Damn you, Carl. If you dare to bully me..."

Quicksilver stopped to rest, mumbling to himself.

"Boom!"

At this moment, an icebreaker flying the Russian flag in the distance seemed to have hit something, and the low sound of the collision spread in all directions.

Quicksilver frowned and looked at the icebreaker in the distance.

Their expedition team was located at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, so encountering an icebreaker was somewhat rare, but not impossible.

The key point is that the icebreaker seemed to have hit an iceberg, the hull was severely damaged, and it stopped where it was and could not move.

Quicksilver, who grew up in a war-torn area like Sokovia, is naturally not a good guy, but he has been in the damn uninhabited area of the Arctic for more than half a year. The soldiers of the expedition team are all clones. Although they obey Quicksilver's orders, it is impossible to have a heart-to-heart talk with the soldiers.

Because the IQ of clones is not enough to complete complex communication.

Of course, Quicksilver didn't know that these soldiers were clones, he just thought that all soldiers were not good at speaking.

Therefore, he really wanted to communicate with ordinary humans in the outside world.

"And there must be fresh vegetables on the icebreaker. I think I haven't seen any green vegetables in almost half a year?"

Quicksilver couldn't help but licking his lips when he thought of this. Every day he either ate roasted penguin meat or sea lion meat, or seafood like Arctic shrimp.

One or two meals occasionally is ok.

But he was tired of eating it every day.

The vitamins needed by humans are all supplemented by drugs, and Quicksilver really wants to eat some real green vegetables.

"Let's go over there and try to exchange some vegetable supplies with them."

Quicksilver said to the expedition leader beside him, a bearded man named Levin Cook.

Levin naturally would not refute Quicksilver's small request.

"Understood, sir. No. 1, you take five people as the vanguard and seize control of the icebreaker!"

Hearing that Captain Levin seemed to want to seize the ship by force, Quicksilver did not say anything more.

In the Arctic, expedition teams don't carry useless things like cash.

As for online banking, why waste money when you can just grab it?
Quicksilver, who has been poor for most of his life, is reluctant to take out the small treasury given to him by Carl.

After all, although Carl does not do any human work, he will deposit some pocket money into Quicksilver's bank account on time every month as his expedition salary.

Otherwise, how could Quicksilver stay in the Arctic and suffer so obediently? It’s because Carl gave him too much!

The group slowly walked towards the icebreaker, with several elite soldiers from the expedition team taking the lead and jogging forward.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Wardfake!? Sukabile."

Along with a few crisp gunshots, there were a few loud curses.

When Quicksilver and his expedition team approached the icebreaker, the advance team had already successfully seized the ship and took control of the icebreaker.

A vanguard member wearing an extreme cold weather suit was on the deck of the icebreaker, gesturing to Quicksilver, indicating that the ship was safe.

There was not a trace of mercy in Quicksilver's eyes. After spending more than half a year in the Arctic, he was almost going crazy.

He didn't care that his men just killed a few people.

As he was about to board the icebreaker to check their food supplies, Pietro inadvertently glanced at the icebreaker's bow blade.

"what is that?"

Pietro saw a corner of some black metal plate faintly exposed where the icebreaker collided with the iceberg.

He was about to climb onto the deck and then return to the ground using the rope ladder.

Pietro walked to the bow and got closer to see what was happening to the black metal plate at the collision site.

"What is this? It looks like the metal tail of an airplane?"

Pietro was shocked. Could it be that they had accidentally found the crash site of Old Antique?
"Quick! Find a way to dig through this ice!"

This icebreaker is a Russian ocean-going icebreaker. Its mission is to search for shallow-water oil in the Arctic Ocean. The ship is fully equipped with various drilling rigs and other large machinery.

The expedition team quickly found several skilled drillers, pointed guns at their heads and threatened them to work.
