"Who was it? The United States? Or the Avengers? Or HYDRA?"
Pietro said with an ugly expression.
They had both almost been blown to death just now.
How could his face not be ugly!
"It shouldn't be the Avengers; they were just there too, and now I don't know if they're still alive."
Wanda shook her head, saying she didn't think the Avengers would commit an act of mutual destruction with HYDRA, especially since they had the absolute upper hand in the battle just now.
She hadn't heard of a party with the absolute upper hand using such a desperate measure.
"Then it's either the United States or HYDRA!"
Pietro said fiercely, "I think it must be the United States; it must be those bastards who did it! They did the same thing in 2012!"
In 2012, when the Chitauri invaded the Blue Star, in New York, the United States had indeed deployed a nuclear bomb.
However, it didn't explode in New York but was sent by Iron Man to the other side of the Universe.
Because there was such a precedent, Pietro had sufficient reason to suspect it was the Americans who did it!
"That's unlikely, after all, the Avengers are also on the side of the United States, and the Avengers had already controlled the situation just now.
The United States couldn't possibly launch a nuclear bomb under those circumstances."
"And... it's just a HYDRA Base, there's no need for that, right?"
Wanda thought about it and felt that the possibility of the United States launching a nuclear bomb was very small.
Mainly because it was unnecessary!
To kill a mosquito, do you need to fire a cannon?
That would be too wasteful.
"Then it's HYDRA!"
Pietro, seemingly without any thoughts of his own, echoed again, "It must be them, it must be Baron Strucker who detonated the nuclear bomb when he ran away, these damn guys, I knew they weren't good people!"
Wanda, "..."
Three suspected targets, and you've analyzed each one.
Wanda didn't want to talk anymore; she felt her brother was really unreliable.
However, who did it?
And was it really a nuclear bomb?
Why didn't she feel any nuclear radiation?
Wanda still had many questions in her mind, but unfortunately, no one could answer them now.
Half an hour later.
The Avengers had returned to Stark Tower in New York.
Here, Barton was sent into a device called the Life Cradle for treatment.
He was severely injured, and his condition was only temporarily stabilized on the plane.
If he couldn't be treated quickly, even if his life was saved, it would be difficult for him to continue fighting in the future.
Fortunately, the Life Cradle was incredibly powerful; it could heal any injury as long as it wasn't fatal on the spot!
This was an invention that even Tony admired, and Dr. Helen, the creator of the Life Cradle, happened to be at Stark Tower at this moment.
Otherwise, Tony would have had to find a way to pick her up from Korea.
Aside from Barton's particularly severe injuries, which required treatment with the Life Cradle to recover, the injuries of the others were much lighter.
....0
Thor only had minor scrapes, and they were mostly healed on the way back.
Tony had a slight concussion, but Jarvis checked him and found no problems, requiring no treatment.
And Natasha, who had been unconscious earlier, also woke up halfway.
Aside from two broken ribs, she had no major issues.
The same went for Steve; they were all minor injuries!
"You guys are really lucky to be alive!"
Hill, who came to greet them, looked down at the tablet in her hand and said to them, "The explosion that just occurred on the outskirts of Sokovia released energy equivalent to a 3-million-ton nuclear bomb explosion."
"Except for the lack of nuclear radiation, this thing is almost no different from a nuclear bomb!"
"Then should we be glad that the other party didn't use a nuclear bomb? Otherwise, we'd be worried about how to deal with radiation issues."
Tony said jokingly.
But no one could smile at this moment.
What was supposed to be a smooth operation first saw an enhanced person attack Barton, then an unidentified fighter jet appeared and launched a missile equivalent to a 3-million-ton yield!
Although HYDRA was annihilated.
But they couldn't be happy at all.
Not only did the unresolved issues not decrease, but they also increased.
This made the few Avengers who were still standing there look preoccupied.
"Where did that fighter jet go? Have you tracked it down?"
Tony asked Hill.
The latter shook her head and said, "No, after leaving the Sokovia area, the target ascended directly to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and its speed broke through twenty times the speed of sound."
"That thing is a monster. It's truly unimaginable that current technology can allow a fighter jet's speed to exceed twenty times the speed of sound. This is simply incredible!"
Hill also looked shocked as she spoke.
The various data displayed by this unknown fighter jet were already enough to make major countries around the World go crazy.
Hill used to think that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology was already strong enough, even capable of dominating the entire World.
After all, their most advanced Quinjet's speed far exceeded that of advanced fighter jets developed by various countries in the World.
But compared to the fighter jet encountered today.
Hill suddenly felt that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology was just so-so.
Not only was its flight speed super fast!
It was also equipped with those terrifyingly powerful missiles!
What kind of black technology was this, exactly?
Hill stated that she simply couldn't understand it.
In fact, let alone her.
Even Tony couldn't understand it!
He had always prided himself on being the smartest person in this World.
The result—
Today, he actually witnessed a technological creation that he couldn't even comprehend!
