The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 558 Long time no see
"Are you sure it was the Captain and the others who asked us to wait here, Stark?"

A man with long golden hair and a beard looked at the playboy in front of him whose beard was almost as long as his own. Before everything happened, no one would have thought that a playboy would become so unkempt.

"At least the voice coming from the communicator is indeed his." Tony rolled his eyes. "I also asked for the codeword and got Natasha and the others to speak. Don't worry, Thor, I'm definitely more careful than you."

"Of course, if they are controlled, then forget what I said."

Thor looked at the man in front of him who was very careful and tight-lipped. He opened his mouth several times but finally closed it. He knew that if he continued to pester him, all he would get was a barrage of verbal attacks.

Although he was originally a person who would never admit defeat, he became even more neurotic after the death of the woman he loved.

For the sake of peace of mind for their ears, it would be better for them to shut up early. Besides, their current status is not suitable for arguing loudly.

At this time, Thor and Tony were hiding in a dilapidated building. The reason they chose this place was not only because of the good view, but also because they could observe the surrounding scenery while avoiding the pursuit of Thanos's men.

Moreover, this is a theoretically dangerous building. Even without Tony's precise calculations, Thor can see just by looking at it that the building is only one step away from collapse.

The dangerous building was the reason why Tony chose him, because the only danger he might encounter here was the building that could collapse at any time.

Even a fool knows that you cannot enter a dangerous building casually. This is common sense. In the absence of external force, most normal people will still choose a safer place.

Thanos's army naturally knew that although the earth was conquered by Thanos on the surface, not all creatures on the earth were killed, and the same was true for humans.

After the main resistance forces were defeated, no one, let alone Thanos, would care about the remaining small fry, even if they saw them, the Vanguard would not care, because Thanos's only target was the Infinity Stones, and meaningless killing would only waste his time.

But even so, 80% of the human beings on Earth were killed by Thanos' army, including resistance forces and innocent unlucky people who were affected by AOE and lost their lives.

The remaining humans hid in panic. After a while, Thanos' army became more obedient because they were looking for the gems. However, without the constraints of government and law, the ugliness of human nature was revealed.

There are those who declare themselves kings, and those who serve as traitors and pass messages to aliens. In short, the probability of encountering bad guys in a relatively intact building is very high.

If they saw the Avengers being counted by Thanos, the result would be predictable, because these Avengers even turned their swords against their former compatriots.

This is not a pleasant feeling. There are external enemies, and humans are also fighting among themselves. The evil of human nature makes Steve lose his smile, so when the Avengers encounter survivors, they try to recruit as many as possible and almost never accept outsiders.

This means that although their shelter is small, it is indeed one of the most orderly and safest places on earth, perhaps even the best.

Today, Tony and Thor left their safe home because they were sent out to search for supplies and try to contact the news brought back by Steve's team from the Tiangong Association.

During the communication, the person suspected to be Steve brought them a lot of good news, including finding the Tiangong Guild base, where they found not only sufficient food but also complete technological facilities. However, compared with the news that followed, these were not worth mentioning. The biggest good news Steve brought was that they had contacted the Tiangong Guild, who had disappeared for over two years, and received their support.

All this went so smoothly that the boss of Stark Industries, who had failed for two years and had forgotten the feeling of going smoothly, couldn't help but become suspicious. To be honest, after falling asleep in the laboratory, he did have a dream, and it was a beautiful dream.

But even dreams are not as beautiful as the reality reported by Steve. Any normal person would feel doubtful, let alone Tony.

To this end, Tony specially called together all the important figures in the shelter to hold a meeting. The topic was whether Steve and others might have been controlled.

The discussion was split, with some feeling they were being controlled and others believing in miracles and thinking reality was just the way it should be.

The discussion went on and on, and finally Tony decided to witness it with his own eyes. After all, although his reason told him that it was more likely to be a trap, he still couldn't help but fantasize about a miracle happening.

For this purpose, he called Thor, who, even though he was in a state of decline, was still the top fighter in the shelter. Together, they went to the place agreed with Steve. If it was really a trap, although he might die, Thor should be able to break through the siege and bring back the news.

The worst outcome is that both of them die together. There are other Asgardians in the shelter. Although they are not as many as Thor, they are more numerous. Banner and Shuri can replace him.

So even if the two of them really never come back, it is still within the shelter's acceptance range, not to mention that they have trained a lot of people in the shelter in the past two years. As long as too many people don't die at once, the shelter will not collapse.

Complex thoughts flashed through his mind. Tony put down the telescope and looked at the time. He found that there were only ten minutes left before the agreed time. Then he took Thor out of the dangerous building carefully and rushed towards their destination.

It was a dessert shop, Randy's Donuts, one of Tony's favorite donut shops. He couldn't forget this donut even during his palladium poisoning period.

But now half of the donut house has collapsed, with only the middle part of the house still standing, which is completely in line with Tony's dangerous building safety theory.

After safely sneaking to the back door of the donut shop, Tony calmed himself down and knocked on the door three times according to the agreed code. The door opened soon.

What made Tony and Thor feel a little relieved was that the person who opened the door was not someone else but Steve himself. After seeing that it was Tony and Thor, the other party put down the shield in his hand, then winked and made way for the two to enter the house.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw members of other teams. Everyone looked exhausted, but their expressions were much better than before. Passing these familiar figures, they immediately noticed the burly and very conspicuous Puba.

"Long time no see, both of you." Puba waved and greeted the two people with complicated expressions.

　I really live in Bengbu. How could I have gotten so many chapter numbers wrong? And I can't even change the chapter names. I'm dumbfounded.
