Chapter 421: RUSHES
Drip~Drip~Drip~
Pū~Pū~
On the endless snowfield, a figure is holding a black disc in his hand and walking in a fixed direction, one foot at a time. Every time the figure steps out, he creates a pit of about half a meter on the snow. This figure is Lin Rui. After knowing his position, Lin Rui decided not to contact Tony for the time being.
Since Lin Rui is now in Siberia, he is going to take a look at the abandoned base of Hydra near here first. Since Bucky appeared, Lin Rui has been remembering the matter involving Tony and Rogers, and Lin Rui has always remembered the position of Hydra's abandoned base on the Siberia side.
If he can enter this base, Lin Rui will be able to solve what he has been worried about all this time.
So, even though Lin Rui had already exchanged a satellite phone directly from the System Shop, he did not contact Tony. Lin Rui knew that if he had contacted Tony, he would immediately send Iron Man over to rescue him and by then Lin Rui would not be able to go to the base secretly.
If this base was just another base of Hydra, Lin Rui would not hide it from Tony, but there is video evidence of Winter Soldier Bucky killing Tony's parents at that base, which is what Lin Rui does not want Tony to know. Bucky is still missing, but Lin Rui knows that Roger will find him someday soon.
If Tony knew about this, there would definitely be a big conflict between Tony and Rogers because of Bucky's previous missions and that is something Lin Rui didn't wanted to see.
However, if Lin Rui knew that many people in New York are worried about him now and many people think that he has died and are sad now. Lin Rui would definitely contact Tony to tell him that he is safe and he wouldn't care about this base. However, Lin Rui has no idea how worried Tony and his friends are.
Pū~
According to the display on the locator in his hand, Lin Rui walked towards the destination. Just after Lin Rui stepped on the snow again, he felt something different. Therefore, Lin Rui stopped and stepped hard again, Lin Rui made sure that there was something under his feet.
"It can't be..." This location is not too far from Lin Rui's previous position and Lin Rui's eyes flashed as he murmured when he thought that he wasn't sent alone.
Huh~huh~
Then Lin Rui started to dig in the snow. Although the snow here is very thick but it is very soft and Lin Rui was able to dig a hole without much effort. Then, Lin Rui had confirmed his previous guess. In this snow pit, Red Skull's body was lying stiffly inside.
Although he has got the exact news that Red Skull is dead from the System, Lin Rui still felt some emotion when he saw Red Skull's body lying in the snow pit. As the Hidden Boss in Hydra, he is a villain with a lot of weight in Marvel World. Now he is dead.
After confirming it with his own eyes, instead of looking at the complete body of the dead Red Skull, Lin Rui dug the snow around Red Skull's body again." Since Red Skull is here, Magic Cube is probably also near here."
Lin Rui also remembered that the Magic Cube was re-installed in a box when the Space Door had opened and then it also got transported with them. Therefore, as there are no whereabouts of the Magic Cube on Lin Rui's side, the chance of Magic Cube being on Red Skull side is very big.
Of course, it is also possible that the Magic Cube fell to another place during the transmission process. If that is the case then it would be very difficult for Lin Rui to find that cube.
"I need to remember these coordinates first, if I can't find it now, I will wait for Tony to bring the Iron Man Army here and I will search for it again. As long as the Magic Cube had fallen in this area, it would be found by them." From standing on the snow surface where Red Skull was buried, Lin Rui looked at the white snow all around him and frowned before speaking to himself.
Then, Lin Rui began a careful search centering on his current location. Lin Rui has a hunch that if he can get the Magic Cube, he will definitely complete another Hidden Quest of the System. Red Skull was not able to bear the power of The Space during the transmission process and Lin Rui completed a Hidden Quest on his death, so it is very possible that he would be able to complete another Hidden Quest after finding a bug-level item like Infinity Stone.
"However, I just don't know if I need to deliver the Space Infinity Stone to the System to complete the Hidden Quest. It is also possible that I would be able to complete the Hidden Quest after getting my hands on the Magic Cube. If the Magic Cube needs to be submitted to the System to complete the Hidden Quest, then the System would definitely give out some rewards but whatever rewards the System gives won't be similar to an Infinity Stone."
"Huhh! It's useless to think about it, for now, I'll need to find it first. Everything would be useless if I can't even find it, maybe the Magic Cube had fallen to some other place during the teleportation." Looking for the Magic Cube in the snow, Lin Rui has some thoughts on his mind.
In this way, Lin Rui spent more than an hour carefully searching the surrounding area. However, except for the body of Red Skull, there is no trace of the Magic Cube.
Call~
After putting away the instruments used to detect metal objects that he redeemed from the System Shop, Lin Rui has given up on finding the Magic Cube in this snow alone.
If Lin Rui's mental power was still ok then he would have been able to search in a larger area but his mental power and Insight Technique are not available to him and Lin Rui who simply depends on the instrument in his hand, does not know where to search.
