Age of Empires From Scratch

Chapter 41 A Strange Family of Three

Sitting at the table, a few people look at me and I look at you, Peggy, Steve, Sharon, the three newcomers have already listened to David's explanation, and know that they are no longer on the earth , I am living in an unknown planet...or an unknown world, in a small village called Winter Village.

"It sounds...unbelievable." Steve kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word when David was explaining. He didn't ask a few questions until David finished speaking, such as why David could speak English. Familiar with the earth and so on.

David handles these things with ease. He learned English from Laura who first came to Cold Winter Village, and some knowledge of the earth was also learned through the books that Laura gave him during this period.

At the beginning, it was just to shape the character design, but there were unexpected benefits.

Steve asked Mark some more things. Through the previous introduction, he knew that Mark was an astronaut of the space agency, and later he knew that Mark, like them, came here from the "earth".

"You're really unlucky!" This was Sharon's evaluation after learning that Mark was left on Mars due to an accident and had to find a way to survive.

"It's okay, although I was forgotten on Mars, but I came here and became the most powerful botanist on earth!" I don't know about other earths, at least in the world where Mark Watney lives, No botanist is better than him. Not only did he successfully grow potatoes on Mars, he even went to another world to plant them.

After learning the way to leave Cold Winter Village and return to his own world, Steve got up and tried it. He left and returned smoothly, confirming David's words.

"So amazing?" Sharon, who occasionally interjected during the whole explanation, also jumped up, but strange things happened. No matter how Sharon walked outside the village or how crazy she ran, she didn't have the slightest tendency to become a phantom.

"Um?"

This never-before-seen situation made David and Mark very surprised, and Mark ran out of the village immediately. He was worried that something might have gone wrong that made it impossible for everyone to leave at will.

As a result, Mark went to Mars smoothly, and then returned to Winter Village.

"No problem, it's normal."

At this time, Peggy, who had been quietly listening to everyone and hadn't spoken, also tried.

Similar to Sharon's situation, no matter how Peggy tried back and forth on the edge of the village, there was no sign of disappearing.

"How is this going?"

David is not very clear, after all, he himself has no chance to experience this kind of time travel. In fact, he does not know how everyone feels when time travel. Even if Laura and others have described it in detail, they still lack an intuitive impression.

Steve tried again, and he was still able to go back and forth smoothly. He frowned and thought for a while, and gave his own judgment: "If it's not something wrong with this place itself, then the problem lies with the two of you? "

To rule out the possibility of David and others playing tricks, we can only look for problems in individuals.

Steve's mind turned quickly, and he thought that maybe he could understand their respective conditions and analyze what caused it.

At the same time, he also learned how the world Peggy and Sharon lived was different from his own.

Compared to the unfamiliar Mark and the completely alien David, Steve will naturally be closer to the familiar Peggy and Sharon who seems to be his daughter.

And Peggy and Sharon, who knew Steve well enough, trusted Steve enough. They not only told about their own situation, but even shared their experiences in that universe, which made Steve understand several parallel stories. What is different in the world.

The world Sharon Rogers lives in is roughly the same as Steve’s own experience, except that after defeating the Red Skull’s plot, Steve Rogers, the captain of the United States in that world, has not been frozen for decades and returned smoothly Greeted the glory that belongs to the hero, married Peggy Carter and gave birth to daughter Sharon Rogers.

In the following decades, Captain America Steve has been doing things in line with his hero status, teaching his daughter who has perfectly inherited the advantages of his parents, and even began to consider passing the title of Captain America to his daughter.

It was at this time that Sharron came to Cold Winter Village when she was out shopping.

Listening to Sharon's narration, Steve already had an answer in his heart, but he didn't say it directly; instead, he turned his head and asked about Peggy's situation.

The universe that Peggy lives in is very different from Steve’s experience. The difference started when an accident occurred in the super soldier experiment. Because of the accident, Peggy replaced Steve to transform into a super soldier, and successfully completed the transformation to become a super soldier. Soldier.

Next, Peggy also had the title of Captain Carter, and embarked on a path similar to Captain America. On the battlefield of World War II, he fought repeatedly with the Red Skull's Hydra Legion, and finally in order to stop the huge monster summoned by Hydra. , entered the 'different space' together with the monster.

It was while wrestling with the monster that Captain Carter came to Cold Winter Village.

"That is to say, if you can go back successfully, you should return to that strange space to continue fighting monsters?" Steve felt that he had grasped the point: "Is this the reason why you can't leave here? "

"It's possible." Peggy thought about it carefully, and recalled what David said just now, thinking of 'going back' in her heart, so she could leave here and return to her own world.

Here comes the question, does she really want to go back to that strange space and fight a big monster endlessly? It was to save her own world before, but her world is already safe. She watched with her own eyes that the portal connecting different spaces and releasing big monsters was closed.

Her own world has been saved, and of course she doesn't want to go back to that strange place. Maybe it was the resistance in her heart that made her unable to travel back and forth between the two worlds like Steve did?

Thinking this way in her heart, she also glanced at Sharon next to her, and then at Steve in front of her.

Although the figure is very different from the Steve she was familiar with, after talking for a while, she found that the person in front of her was indeed Steve Rogers, that smart and brave man. She believed that Steve had already guessed Sha The reason why Lun couldn't leave, but he didn't say it directly, it should be to take care of this strange daughter's idea.

"Okay, we've finished talking about our situation, let's talk about yours next!" Since Sharon had doubts in her heart, she put the matter aside and changed the topic to other places. Peggy was curious about this. How is Steve's experience different from his own universe and Sharon's universe?

"Me?" Steve looked at the two women who were staring at him with wide eyes, and the two men whose faces were full of melon-watching expressions, and recounted his experience with a bitter face: "Actually, with Sharon I’m pretty much the same in that world, just a little different.”

The biggest difference is that although he successfully prevented the Red Skull's conspiracy and did not let those super bombs bloom on the east coast of North America, he was also frozen and fell into a deep sleep because of the crash.

"When I woke up, someone told me that I had been asleep for seventy years." At this time, Steve was in a confused stage of his life. He closed his eyes and opened them. The war was over and everyone he knew was basically dead. , My lover got married but the groom is not me, even the familiar hometown has become very strange, everything around is so unreal, he doesn't know whether he still has the meaning of living.

In addition to venting excess energy in the gym every day, I just wandered around like a ghost, and then came here.

Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but look at Peggy, and then at David. He couldn't help but wonder if God thought he was too pitiful, so he let him come here to enjoy his old age? She even sent Peggy in front of her... It's just that Peggy has a favorite Steve, can she use herself as a substitute? Oh, it seems that my situation is similar!

Glancing at David again, I wanted to ask more questions, and found that the village chief of Cold Winter was eating dried fruit (snacks bought by Laura) with the scientist named Mark, quietly watching the excitement .

"Mr. Village Chief."

"Just call me David." Swallowing the dried fruit, cleared his throat with a light cough twice: "Is there any problem?"

"In the days to come, I may disturb you often."

"Don't disturb me, I welcome you very much. After all, there are not many people in my village. I really hope that the village can become more lively."

When explaining the situation earlier, all three of them knew the situation of David's village: a newly established village called Lindong Village.

Except for a few farmers who have just moved here and are building houses; and an old hunter Adis who raised his children alone, the rest of them all came here from other worlds just like them.

Laura Crawford, the British aristocrat, has regarded Cold Winter Village as his other home. He built a house here and often came here to play.

Mark, the unlucky guy who survived alone on Mars, even regarded the Winter Village as his life-saving straw, and counted on the Winter Village to survive!

As for the man named Tirion Fordring, he simply settled down in Cold Winter Village for a long time, only returning to his own world occasionally to see his wife and son.

With so many 'partners', and Peggy doesn't know how to return to her own world, it doesn't seem unacceptable to choose to settle here.

Since Peggy is going to live here, Steve often comes to see old friends, and it is only natural for old friends to help when they need help.

Although he knew that Captain Carter was not the Peggy he was familiar with, but looking at this familiar face, he really couldn't pretend that he had never seen this one, and returned to his own universe to continue his life like a living dead.

Seeing Steve staring at Peggy all the time, Sharon Rogers really wanted to shout: "Did you forget something?"
