Chapter 798: The Darkest Hour
Heavy snowfall, houses, roads, trees, street lights, power lines... Everything in the world is covered with a layer of snow, and the snow on the ground is nearly a meter deep, and such a once-in-20-year heavy snowstorm interrupts all transportation.
Therefore, there are no human figures on the road paved with white jade at all, only 'Whew! Call! There was no other sound in the city center, and the suburbs were even more lonely, and there were no traces of birds and beasts, and everything in the world was frightened away by the blizzard, hiding in the nest and shivering, waiting for the blizzard to stop.
However, some people are not afraid of this blizzard, driving snowmobiles and snowmobiles quickly shuttle through the jungle, raising a large number of snowflakes in the rear, forming a snow curtain but being immediately blown away by the wind, and finally blending into the environment, and can no longer tell who is who.
In the snowmobile, which was covered in snowflakes, Sam focused on driving the snowmobile through the jungle, shouting, "Captain, can't you change the weather to a better one?" β
"You can talk to the Trident about whether bad weather can delay the war." Rogers' muffled voice came from the headset, mixed with the sound of the roaring wind, and it was difficult to make out what he was saying without paying attention.
Further out of the jungle, in front of them was an abandoned dam, the steel guardrails, escalators, etc. were all rusty, and the reinforced concrete was full of old gray, and the two drove into the dry river, slid on the snow, and slowed down into the outlet.
It has been abandoned for twenty or thirty years, and the drain is full of dead grass and rotten leaves, broken bricks and tiles, and the environment is so bad that Sam can't help but complain: "Can't they clean the door?" β
"Maybe we should roll out the red carpet again." Rogers said as he stopped the snowmobile, took off his snow mask, looked up, and looked at a camera that looked like it was broken, and then an emergency door next to it slowly opened, revealing a large and brightly lit space behind it.
Romanoff, who was also dressed in a sexy leather coat in the winter, greeted him and said to Rogers, who had parked the car in the corner of the hall, "Welcome, captain." β
Rogers looked at the concrete-colored hall and floor, and said, "How many more bases like this?" β
"That's for Director Fury." Romanoff said hello to Sam and then proceeded to inspect weapons, vehicles, equipment, and other supplies, and the agents occasionally glanced up at Steve Rogers in a snow suit and his iconic shield.
Sam jumped off the snowmobile with the Falcon on his back, which Fitz had checked to determine had no positioning device, and glanced around, where they were located was a room four meters high and more than twenty meters long and wide, and there were stairs leading to the room above, apparently S.H.I.E.L.D. had made some internal changes to the dam, turning it from water storage and power generation to a secret base.
Agents wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms or suits shuttled back and forth, very busy, but the number of people who could participate in this mission were trustworthy and rigorously screened agents, who were skilled and well-trained in inspecting guns and equipment, and were absolutely elite.
Rogers looked at his teammates after this mission, turned his head, looked at the Falcon on Sam's back, and said, "Have you ever flown in this weather?" β
"Swap for bullets and shells, and I'll fly." Sam cleverly showed off his own record of falling in a hail of bullets before saying, "Be prepared, if someone throws you down dozens of floors, at least you have a pair of wings." β
As he spoke, Nick Fury, dressed in regular clothes, walked down the escalator on the left hand side and greeted Rogers very warmly: "Hey, Captain, Sam, welcome to Huashengton." β
Rogers took the initiative to step forward and shake Nick Fury's hand, and said with a somewhat serious face: "If it's possible, I don't want to come." β
"There are unpredictable circumstances, and no one can fully control everything." Nick Fury motioned for the two of them to follow him up the escalator and into a smaller room upstairs, where they sat at an unpretentious wooden table with ordinary hot tea.
Rogers said straight to the point: "So you can catch the Hydra this time?" β
"The Sanqu Wing Headquarters and the Hub Operations Department have almost confirmed their identities, and the othersβ" Nick Fury spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything.
"When did you know that Hydra existed inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?" With some time to go, Rogers asked about the doubts he had been hiding in his heart.
"Emmm, it's been a while." Finding that Rogers' eyes had changed, he raised his hand and said helplessly: "Please, captain, S.H.I.E.L.D. recruits a large number of personnel every year, and I can't go to the interview one by one." β
Rogers' eyes were obviously questioning why he didn't take measures when he knew that there was a hydra, but let the hydra do it until it was as big as the assassination, and he still had some unspeakable thoughts in his heart: if he had done something earlier, maybe there would not have been the two assassinations later.
Nick Fury seemed to find his words unconvincing, and continued: "They've been hiding for decades and won't care about another seventy years, and I don't want to leave the problem to the next one. β
Sam said, "It turned out to be a bigger problem. β
Nick Fury's voice suddenly rose three degrees, and he said in a very helpless tone: "Please, I'm not a prophet, who would have thought that there was a damn purple big guy in outer space who wanted to occupy the poor little earth, I could only end this farce quickly." β
The words were full of unhappiness, he put a long line to catch big fish, but as soon as he turned around, the fishing ground was going to be demolished, which was really a huge surprise, so that he had to hurriedly close the net, and it would take a huge amount of energy and time to find out the small fish and shrimp that had slipped through the net.
also indirectly admitted to this large-scale 'leak' plan against Pierce, one of whom must have been in contact with Tony Stark in private, and jointly formulated this plan to fight the evil Hydra.
The rusty iron door was accompanied by a 'squeak! The voice was pushed away from the outside, revealing the Romanov behind the door, and said softly: "Captain, it's time for us to go." β
Rogers nodded and stood up, but found that Nick Fury was still drinking tea, and he didn't mean to move, frowning slightly, and Nick Fury said without raising his head: "I'm dead, um... It's been months. β
Romanov, who was standing at the door, spoke: "We take back the Triqual Wing Building, Coulson takes back the Hub Operations Department, and Director Fury will notify other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who don't know about it here after we do it." β
