Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Fortunately, both Hawkeye and the team leader have extensive experience in wilderness survival. Hawkeye, in particular, is skilled with a bow and arrow and has excellent tracking skills. Even though the scene had obviously been cleared up, Hawkeye was still able to notice many details.

With Eagle Eye's tracking skills, the group embarked on a journey to find the group of suspected Hydra militants.

Unlike before, this time everyone tried their best not to fire, since no one knew how far they were from the militants' hideout, and no one wanted to alert them.

After a long and arduous day of marching, as night fell, the group finally discovered the hideout of the militants who had attacked them the previous night.

After bypassing numerous visible and hidden sentries, the militants' headquarters finally came into view.

When everyone finally saw the militants' headquarters, they were still so shocked by what they saw that their jaws nearly dropped.

It's hard to imagine that in such a remote tropical rainforest, there would be a building that covers an area roughly the size of four standard football fields and looks like a huge anti-aircraft turret built during the Hitler era.

It is no exaggeration to say that the building presented to everyone could be aptly described as a fortress or a castle.

The massive building was surrounded by towering walls and watchtowers, and countless soldiers patrolled the area. There were also many scouts who would occasionally emerge from the fortress and head towards the edge of the forest.

Compared to the quiet rainforest at night, this fortress was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Almost every design element takes into account factors such as air defense and concealment, making it a fortress truly created for actual combat.

Looking at the heavily guarded fortress before him, Tony's lips twitched involuntarily. He looked at the captain beside him and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Captain, this building does have some characteristics of the Mustache era. Maybe your guess is true!"

Faced with Tony's approval, the captain's expression was solemn, but he could not hide the shock and helplessness in his eyes.

"I hope my guess is wrong. The problem now is, how exactly do we get in here? Obviously, with just the few of us we have, if we dare to show our faces, we'll be riddled with bullets."

The captain pointed somewhat bitterly at the four imposing heavy machine guns at the top corners of the fortress. Those were clearly far superior to the civilian version he had in his hand!

Upon hearing the captain's words, almost everyone present focused their attention on Sherlock, who was rubbing his temples.

After all, if we were to really talk about fighting power, Sherlock would undoubtedly be the strongest among them. Unfortunately, in the face of everyone's expectations, Sherlock rolled his eyes and glared fiercely at Tony with gritted teeth.

"If it weren't for those two slaps you gave me last night, I could have killed everyone in this fortress by myself. I'm lucky I didn't die from your beatings last night!"

It's clear that Sherlock is implying that he's powerless to do anything about it!

Seeing Sherlock's fierce expression, Tony touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and muttered something under his breath.

"Isn't that an emergency?"

Meanwhile, while Captain America, Tony, and Sherlock were discussing countermeasures, Zhao Weike on the other side didn't forget to joke around with his new best friend Hawkeye.

"Aren't you good at infiltration? Come on, your specialty is here, infiltrate, great Mr. Patton!"

"If you want me dead, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush like this. Besides, you can get in with just a pistol, right? Hurry up, Mr. Night Demon!"

Hawkeye understood that Zhao Weike just wanted to lighten the mood, so he went along with it. However, to everyone's surprise, after Sherlock overheard the two teasing each other, Sherlock, who had just been looking disgusted, suddenly did a complete 180-degree turn.

"But you know what, I actually have something that can help us infiltrate, it's just that this thing is a bit... how should I put it, a bit hellish!"

Chapter 221 Captain: Tony, are you sure Sherlock and the mustache have nothing to do with each other?

Seeing the incredibly conflicted look on Sherlock's face, Tony glanced at the massive war fortress behind him, then slapped Sherlock on the shoulder in annoyance and complained to him.

"What time is it? If you have anything useful, just bring it out. It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat, isn't it?"

Even the captain couldn't help but nod in agreement with Tony's remarks.

Seeing that the captain nodded in agreement, Sherlock did not immediately take out his prop. Instead, he turned to the captain and asked with a serious expression.

"Captain, are you sure you agree with what Tony said?"

Although the captain didn't know why Sherlock specifically asked for his opinion, it was clear that compared to having to fight the massive war fortress behind him alone, the captain rationally chose to agree with Tony's words.

"I think Tony is right. No matter how bad the gadget is, as long as the effect is good, that's fine."

With the captain's words in mind, Sherlock reluctantly pulled a glass bottle from his four-dimensional pocket. It was an ordinary glass bottle with a simple cork stopper at the mouth, looking just like the inner liner of a thermos.

The glass bottle had no labels on it, and inside were pills about the size of one yuan coins. It's worth mentioning that the color and patterns of these pills were very strange.

The pill, about the size of a one-yuan coin, was entirely cement gray in color, with some messy patterns made of black lines on it. It looked more like a candy pill for children than a pill.

The moment Sherlock took out the pill, the expression on his face was incredibly complex.

This pill, like the previous gender experience pill, was created by Sherlock himself when he was learning alchemy from Laozi.

It was also because of this pill that Sherlock was severely beaten by Laozi for the first time when he was Laozi's apprentice. In fact, the pill was also part of the reason why Laozi had to apply for permission to use those rare and precious herbs when he forced Sherlock to do so.

Seeing Sherlock staring at the thing he had taken out with a conflicted and strange expression on his face, Tony rolled his eyes and snatched the bottle containing the pills from Sherlock's hand.

Without saying a word, he pulled off the cork, distributed one to everyone without further ado, then put the cork back in and returned the bottle to Sherlock.

The four people on the scene looked at the pills in their hands but did not eat them directly. Instead, they just held them in their hands without making any move. After all, Sherlock's stuff, well, those who know, know.

Without understanding what this thing is or how to use it, the best approach is to keep your distance.

Tony, in particular, was almost suffering from PTSD from Sherlock's pills because he had been tricked into being a eunuch for over a month. After watching Sherlock silently put the bottle back into his four-dimensional pocket, Tony asked Sherlock.

"Sherlock, tell me, is there anything I should be careful about with this little gadget of yours?"

After hearing Tony's words, Sherlock thought for a moment, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. Then he spoke very seriously to the four people present.

"I'll count to three, then everyone must eat it together, or we'll be riddled with bullets!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, although they didn't know why, everyone present became serious. As Sherlock counted down, the five people almost simultaneously stuffed the pills into their mouths.

To be honest, this pill was truly miraculous. The moment it entered my mouth, it transformed into a clear stream, instantly flowing down my throat, and then nothing more.

That's right, this pill doesn't even have a taste. You just feel a clear stream entering your throat and then there's no other sensation. But that's not quite right either. After taking the pill, you always feel an itch in your philtrum.

After experiencing the Sherlock elixir, Tony carefully examined his body but found nothing unusual. Somewhat puzzled, he looked at Sherlock and asked him a profound question.

"No, Sherlock, is this pill expired? What is this thing? Besides feeling an itch in my philtrum, I don't feel anything else at all?"

Hearing Tony's words, everyone present couldn't help but nod, and they all looked at Sherlock with puzzled expressions. After all, they had thought a lot about the effects of this pill before taking it.

It had all sorts of effects like invisibility, superpowers, and bulletproof defense, but what I didn't expect was that it had no effect other than making people feel itchy.

Upon hearing Tony's question, Sherlock revealed a strange and twisted smile as he explained to everyone.

"I'll name this pill 'Little Mustache Pill'..."

"Wait, what's the name of this thing? Say it again."

Before Sherlock could finish speaking, Captain America grabbed his arm, interrupting him. Not only Captain America, but Zhao Weike, Hawkeye, and Tony all looked at Sherlock with incredibly strange expressions.

Tony, in particular, couldn't help but recall Eggsy's worries about Sherlock. Back then, he had sworn that Sherlock and Mustache had nothing to do with each other, but now it was clear that they weren't unrelated.

That damn mustache pill!

Tony felt he needed to pay attention to his son's mental state.

Similarly, the captain was also somewhat devastated. As a former ally, the captain had fought against Mustache and Hydra, which had once been subservient to Mustache, for half his life. In the end, he had actually taken a hit from Mustache.

The captain felt that he had finally reached the end of his life!

Sherlock didn't care about that anymore. Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, Sherlock, who had originally wanted to explain the effects of the pill, immediately gave up the idea. After a helpless sigh, Sherlock finally addressed everyone.

"It's called 'Little Mustache Pill.' As for the reason and its effects, you'll have to see for yourselves to find out."

After saying this, Sherlock waved to Gong Baiwan, and surprisingly stood up casually, letting Gong Baiwan follow him, and walked towards the fortress with a relaxed and normal expression.

He looked so relaxed, as if he were the master of the bunker. His face showed no sign of tension, and he even had an unbelievable calmness.

Even more amazingly, even though Sherlock stood so openly and brazenly in the most open area, neither the soldiers on the watchtower nor those standing at the gate seemed to see Sherlock at all, and they remained standing straight at their posts.

After seeing this, Hawkeye thought for a moment and then spoke to the three people beside him.

"It might just be a weird name; the effect is most likely just invisibility. Young man, choosing a name is a bit disrespectful..."

Before Hawkeye could finish speaking, what happened next left the four people hiding behind the cover completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 222 Captain: I'm tired, let's destroy it!

Sherlock walked confidently to the sentry at the gate with his hands behind his back. Before Hawkeye could finish speaking, a deafening greeting rang out from the other side.

"Hey! Sherlock!"

The shout startled the four people who were observing the situation from behind cover. Their eyes involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the sound came, but what they saw left them dumbfounded.

The guard, who was supposed to be part of the armed group, did not attack Sherlock when he approached. Instead, he raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle and greeted Sherlock with a serious expression.

Sherlock calmly returned the salute to the soldier before ordering him to open the gate.

Strangely, the soldier, without any questions or sense of unease, actually opened the door for Sherlock. Sherlock, leading Gong Baiwan, walked in with his hands behind his back, like an officer inspecting the barracks, and even waved to the four of them.

Tony, Hawkeye, Captain America, and Zhao Weike: ...

They seemed to understand why this elixir had such a strange name.

The soldiers guarding the gate throughout didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, they acted as if they were seeing a leader, standing tall and straight.

The four people who witnessed the whole thing were speechless. All they could say was that Sherlock's naming of the pill "Little Mustache Pill" was absolutely right!

"Tony, are you sure Sherlock has absolutely no connection to that mustache guy, or even that he's a fan of his?"

Tony: "..."

Faced with the captain's question, Tony fell silent this time. If Tony had dared to make a promise when Black Egg asked him before, how could he dare to say anything now that things had come to this?

All he could do was silently put having Jarvis investigate Sherlock's social circle as the top priority on his to-do list when he got back.

Fortunately, Hawkeye stepped forward at this moment and spoke to the captain and Tony.

"Let's not worry about whether Sherlock has any connection with Mustache or not. For now, Sherlock's plan is undoubtedly the most reliable one. Captain, just bear with it!"

After saying this, Hawkeye excitedly pulled Zhao Weike, who was also looking excited, and the two walked out in a very open and generous manner.

team leader:"?"

Seeing the undisguised excitement on their faces, a huge question mark slowly appeared above the captain's head. What the hell are you two bastards so excited about?

While the captain was still questioning his life choices, Hawkeye and Zhao Weike had already approached the guards at the gate.

Honestly, although it was very funny to watch, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when the two of them got closer.

Fortunately, as the two approached, the guard greeted them with a loud voice, just as Sherlock had done when he approached them, instantly putting their minds at ease.

"Hey! Patton! Hey! Wick!"
