Chapter 1459 Tonight is the time for the feast! (1)
Huhuhu——!
High on the mountain, the wind is biting.
Since the beginning of winter, the weather has become increasingly cold, the temperature has dropped sharply, and heavy snow has fallen, covering the top of the mountain with white snow. The jungle at the foot of the mountain is withered, and it looks like a scene wrapped in silver.
This is a mountain range called the Adirondacks in northeastern New York State, and it is also the highest mountain range nearby.
Among them, Mount Marcy is the highest peak in the Adirondack Mountains, with an altitude of more than 1,200 meters. It is less than half a day's journey from the city. When you overlook the city from a high place, you can also see the entire New York City. Prosperity, advanced income eyes.
On ordinary days, Mount Masi is a tourist attraction. Many people come here to visit it, and its popularity is extremely high.
But since the beginning of winter, few people have come again.
One is that the weather is too cold and the scenery is withered.
The second is the rugged area on the mountain road. It is extremely dangerous to be slippery when it snows, so the mountainous area is closed.
But in the closed mountainous area, there are still many people seeking death who go up the mountain through the closed area, want to experience the adventure, and sleep on the steep cliffs in the wind and snow.
Boltan is one of those people seeking death.
His ancestor was one of the adventurers who pioneered the American continent. The adventurous gene passed down in his family gave him ample experience in committing suicide since he was a child. When he grew up, he traveled to many dangerous places and gained professional qualifications. Hunter certificate.
But the reason why I came to the Adirondacks this time was not because I wanted to explore, or simply wanted to die.
After all, as a well-known adventurer, this is just a scenic spot and does not meet his adventure conditions at all. Even if there are weather conditions such as snow, the danger level is not enough for him to take it seriously.
The real reason why Boltan came here was that he believed he had been "called."
Yes, it’s the “summoning”!
Since a few months ago, he could vaguely feel a call from the depths of his blood, asking him to go to the Adirondack Mountains, but this impulse had always been ignored by him.
However, in the past few days.
The call originating from his bloodline has become more and more intense, like scratching his heart and liver. It even affects him in his dreams, making him completely unable to ignore it.
Eventually, Boltan decided to find out, heading to the Adirondacks to discover the source of the mysterious call.
The closer we get to the mountains, the stronger the call becomes.
He could even vaguely hear a voice from Mo Hu, which seemed to be telling something in his ears.
Wearing a jacket, holding a hiking pole, and carrying equipment, Boltan looked at Mount Marci towering into the clouds. Breathing out white cold air from his mouth, after taking a short rest to conserve his energy, he planned to climb the highest peak before sunrise.
However, just as he was about to climb the mountain, his eyes caught a sharp glimpse. Not far ahead, there were two figures moving at the foot of the mountain. They seemed to be people who were also planning to climb the mountain.
"In this damn weather, is there any fool other than me who wants to climb the mountain? And I haven't brought any tools with me. It's so stupid!"
Boltan didn't stop him, he just cursed in his heart and ignored the two people.
In his opinion, there were too many people seeking death like this, and he had neither the need nor the responsibility to take care of them, not to mention that he had important things to do.
Mount Masi is extremely steep, mostly made of granite, marble, schist, and gneiss. The most striking feature is that the mountain walls are steep, there are very few footholds, and there are almost no roads up the mountain.
If you want to climb mountains, you can only rely on rich experience and tools to find routes other than snowfall points.
Even the experienced Boltan had to observe for a long time before reluctantly determining a route and taking out climbing ropes, climbing picks and other tools from his backpack.
When everything was ready, Boltan was about to climb the mountain when he suddenly remembered the two people and looked around again, only to find that they had disappeared.
"She must have gone back..."
The two men didn't bring any tools. Facing the steep Mount Masi, it was naturally impossible to climb up. Apart from returning home, Boltan didn't think they could climb up.
After being fully prepared, Boltan patted his cheek, regained his energy, fixed the rope, and climbed towards the mountain with a mountaineering pick.
Although he is nearly forty years old, his many years of experience in the wild have given him great strength and skills. The steepness of Mount Marsi was like walking on flat ground under his feet, and he quickly climbed up to more than ten meters.
What Boltan didn't know was that, dozens of meters above him, the two people he thought were going back were actually climbing the mountain with their bare hands on the steep rock wall covered with frost and snow.
The two moved extremely quickly and were incredibly powerful.
Only by clasping half of the body with their fingers could they barely fall down. They were able to use their fingers to forcefully lift the whole person up. The speed was simply terrifying.
Without any safety measures or even any tools, their climbing speed is enough to make any rock climbing expert exclaim God after seeing them.
Suddenly, the person behind stepped on the air, and the rock protrusion under his feet collapsed. He lost his balance and was about to fall.
The man above reacted very quickly. He reached out to grab the man's collar and locked it with one hand in the crack of the rock wall. His joints made a crackling sound and veins burst out from his skin.
Obviously, it is extremely difficult for him to bear the weight of a person with just the help of his fingers.
"Are you OK?"
The man at the top gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you want to take a short break? Recover your strength."
"It's okay, I'm not that old yet!"
The man below clung to the rock wall again, took a deep breath, and said: "No need to rest, we are running out of time, we must stop them quickly. Climb quickly, Steve."
The man called Steve is none other than Captain America.
His face was exposed in the storm, and he was covered with stubble. He was no longer the handsome man he was before, and had a bit more vicissitudes of life.
"Be careful, I don't want to lose a reliable comrade before I go up, Frank." Steve grinned and made a little joke.
"Hmph, who do you think I am?"
Frank refused to admit defeat and said harshly: "When I was fighting, I experienced dangers that were countless times more difficult than this. How could a mere mountain kill me!"
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, so am I."
Steve smiled and said: "The *** didn't even kill me, and it's even more impossible for me to die here."
The corner of Frank's mouth twitched, and then he remembered that the seemingly young man in front of him was actually older than him, and he couldn't compare with him in terms of seniority.
Seeing that the dispute was over, Frank gave up his ink, and his men used all their strength to surpass Steve, intending to prove it with actions.
Steve smiled and started climbing.
The speed of the two was very fast, and even the peak of a thousand meters above sea level could not stop them two veterans.
"Wait, listen, there is a sound!"
Suddenly, Frank stopped climbing, clung to the rock wall, and whispered solemnly: "It's nearby, it seems...it's coming from a hole!"
Hearing this, Steve also clung to the rock wall and concentrated his attention. Sure enough, he heard a small sound coming from inside the rock wall, and it seemed like there were many people.
"Could it be...that they are inside the mountain?"
Steve was a little surprised: "But... there should be no cave-like place on Mount Marcy, right?"
"I advise you not to believe those bullshit from the government."
As an experienced person, Frank sneered and said: "It didn't happen before, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen now. Besides, the Skrulls have taken control of the political power. It's not difficult at all to hollow out a mountain and hide a secret base inside. Fury used to do it. Do it often."
As we all know, Fury's secret bases are all over the world, and Steve has heard about them, so he no longer doubts: "Then how are we going to get in?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be an entrance nearby."
Frank looked around and gritted his teeth and said: "Since you can hear the sound, it proves that there is air circulation nearby. Find a way to find it and we can go in."
"……you sure?"
The corners of Steve's eyes twitched crazily. He looked around, at places where he couldn't reach the sky or the ground, as well as steep rock walls. He swallowed and said, "I'm afraid we haven't found a place with air circulation here yet. Let's go." He would have to fall and die."
He is the American Superman, not Superman.
Can't fly! There is no indestructible body! There are no superpowers like clairvoyance or anything like that!
Even a super soldier would not have enough physical strength to find a crack in a rock wall over a hundred meters high!
"It's the only way, Steve."
After saying that, Frank ignored him and started to stick to the rock wall, judging from the sound, the location of the cavity inside the mountain, looking for a gap that could be entered.
In desperation, Steve had to imitate him and look for possible cracks in the rock wall from another direction.

Meanwhile, Coulson is on the other side.
In order to stop the Skrulls' conspiracy, he also started a secret operation and found the Black Widow who was abandoned elsewhere after being rescued by Lord.
