Chapter 317: Encountering a Crisis
Didi, Didi-
"It seems that reality does not allow us two old guys to continue to be nostalgic for the past."
Rescuing the look of remembrance on his face, Alexander glanced down at what was displayed on his phone, and then said with a helpless expression.
"Old guy or something, you can just be it, I don't think I'm old."
His eyes swept over Alexander's phone, and Nick Fury immediately opened his mouth to deny it.
"Alright, Super Agent, Nick Fury."
Hearing Nick Fury's answer, Alexander shook his head helplessly, and said with some self-deprecation: "Anyway, I'm already old, and it's easy to miss the old days when people get old, and I'm glad to be able to fight side by side with you, Nick." ”
Raising his only intact one-eye, he silently looked at Alexander's cloudy eyes, and Nick Fury replied in the same silence: "Me too." ”
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Alexander smiled with relief and looked down at the news in his hand again.
Alexander: "So, if there's anything on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, you know where to look for me." ”
Nick Fury: "Absolutely. ”
"Whew~"
Coming out of the office of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander took a deep breath and completely retracted the smile on his lips.
With a cold expression, he picked up his mobile phone and ordered without hesitation: "Tell everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. that the plan is activated!" ”
In the office, Nick Fury silently looked at the position where Alexander left, and pressed the button on the table: "Start the communication encryption program, and the connection security is revealed 0405......"
"Confirm connection!"
"Sir?"
As the encryption process activated, Nick Fury's headphones immediately rang with the voice of Agent Hill in the S.H.I.E.L.D. division.
"Agent, I need you to come to HQ, don't ......"
Listening to the voice of his most trusted subordinate, Nick Fury frowned and was about to summon the other party to rush to the headquarters, but he subconsciously paused in the middle of the conversation: "I need you to inform Natasha and tell her that the situation is urgent, and I will come to your side soon." ”
"Understood."
Although it is not clear what the so-called emergency in Nick Fury's mouth is, in the face of the instructions of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Hill unconditionally chose to trust.
After a brief call with Agent Hill, Nick Fury took the USB flash drive he had received from Natasha and subconsciously scanned the office layout, but his eyes were immediately attracted by the mobile phone left on the sofa opposite.
Sitting on the couch was Alexander, who had just come out of the office.
"What is this?"
Looking at the mobile phone left on the sofa chair, the doubt in Nick Fury's eyes just emerged, and the next second the mobile phone screen opposite flashed a dazzling red light.
Boom –
In the next moment, violent explosions and fires filled the entire office.
……
"Did you find a clue, Captain?"
Avengers base.
Falcon looked at Captain America Steve in front of him and asked.
"I'm trying, but this era is so different from what I've used to, and although I've tried to adapt, there's still some ...... to find Dior in the vast crowd of New York."
Frowning, Steve shook his head silently at the request of the Falcon.
For some time now, he'd been trying to follow the vampire's leads, but Dio had never seen it again.
"Perhaps, you should let yourself relax a little."
Looking at Steve's frowning brows, Falcon couldn't help but persuade a few words: "Although I know your urgency to find that guy named Dior, captain, the more you should calm down, too much forcing yourself will only make you lose your cool." ”
"I know."
What Falcon said, Steve naturally knew.
It's just that when he thinks of Dior, especially Carter, who is controlled by him, Steve can't hide the anxiety in his heart.
A long slumber and taking away too much of what was around him.
Therefore, he is reluctant to lose any more memories and people that are the most important to him.
"But, I can't."
"Perhaps, at this time, the most important thing you need to do, captain, is to give yourself a time to calm down first."
Sensing the tangled look on Steve's face, Falcon continued his persuasion: "Moreover, you are not the only one who can't find a target. ”
Following Falcon's words, Steve followed the direction pointed by the other party, and immediately saw Ah Xing, who was standing behind him in a white Tang suit and wearing cloth shoes with a depressed expression.
Ever since that battle in Hell's Kitchen with the 'Pacifist' robots.
Ah Xing came to the Avengers at the suggestion of Ip Man, and used the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to find the reincarnation of the Penglai Immortal.
However, the results are also not optimistic.
Even, compared to Steve, Ah Xing has fewer clues about the reincarnation of immortals.
During this time, there has been little progress.
"The reincarnation of the Penglai Immortals?"
As Steve said to Nick Fury in the office before.
With the exception of Thor, who is far away in Asgard, the members of the Avengers already know the information about the reincarnation of the immortals.
But it's one thing to know, it's another to accept it.
At least, for Falcon, even if the truth of this information has been confirmed from Tony Stark's mouth, it will take Falcon a long time to actually accept this setting.
The reason why he was able to accept it was because of the previous battle with the [Holy Lord], after accepting the setting of the magic charm. Coming into contact with the mysterious power of the East again, although there is a huge gap between the two, but, after all, there is a precedent, anyway, this world has not been normal since the alien invasion war in New York.
Now, the reincarnation of another Penglai Immortal is just a little more variable in this unusual world.
"Listening to Natasha, S.H.I.E.L.D. has arranged a large number of people to search, but no useful clues have been found."
Listening to Falcon's words, Steve couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ah Xing not far away.
Looking at the other party's decadent expression, a feeling of sympathy rose in my heart.
Speaking of which, judging from the information revealed by Jin He before his death, Dior's purpose for coming to New York seems to be closely related to the reincarnation of the Penglai Immortal that Ah Xing is looking for.
Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but walk in the direction where Ah Xing was.
……
"I'll go up and get something."
Driving his motorcycle to a stop in front of an apartment, Steve took off his helmet and immediately looked up at the figure in mid-air and invited him.
"Or, you can come and sit at my lodgings."
Controlling his body to fall slowly, in the face of Captain America's invitation, Ah Xing turned his head to look at the location of the apartment, and then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll wait below." ”
"Okay."
Hearing Ah Xing's rejection of his invitation, Steve shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, picked up his key and walked towards the apartment.
"I'll be right back."
Steve's apartment was not arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although, after he woke up, S.H.I.E.L.D. had arranged a place for him to live, but because he was tired of the eyes in the residence called protection and surveillance, after staying for a month, Steve moved out of the arranged residence and found a quiet apartment to live in.
Bang –
Going up the stairs, before Steve could ascend to the floor where he lived, he heard a sound of the door closing.
Immediately afterwards, I saw my neighbor, a nurse working in the aggravated ward, carrying a heavy basket of clothes, struggling to close the door.
It looks like I'm going to do laundry.
Up and down the stairs, Steve and the other looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Steve noticed his haggard look, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak, "Is something happening?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Steve's inquiry, the nurse's face showed obvious confusion.
"I mean, your face doesn't look good?"
Noticing the other party's expression, Steve immediately asked.
"It's my aunt, she's missing, and our family is worried, so ......"
In response to Steve's inquiry, the nurse was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice.
"I'm sorry."
Hearing the nurse's answer, Steve immediately showed an apologetic look, showing that he had realized that his question had touched the other party's sadness.
Apologetically, Steve's gaze swept over the basket that the nurse was kicking, and then made up for it: "If you don't mind, you can use my washing machine, it should be more convenient to be upstairs anyway than if you run to the basement to do the laundry." ”
"Thanks, but ......"
Faced with Steve's invitation, the nurse hesitated, but still shook her head lightly and refused: "I've already taken a lot, and besides, don't use your washing machine to wash my white coat, after all, I just changed shifts and came out of the intensive care unit, so ......"
The nurse's words were not finished, but the meaning of the refusal was quite obvious.
Refusing Steve's invitation, the nurse was about to go to the basement with the heavy clothes in her hand, when she suddenly turned back to Steve as if something sounded: "By the way, your stereo seems to have forgotten to turn off, and I heard it ring all the time when I came back." ”
"Oh, is it? Thank you. ”
Hearing the other party's reminder, Steve immediately nodded in thanks.
looked at the back of the other party leaving, but the expression on his face immediately converged.
Looking at the room where loud music kept coming out, Steve was silent for a moment, and instead of opening the door and entering, he turned around and walked in the direction of the window.
Steve clearly remembered that he hadn't heard any music before he went out.
……
Carefully lifting the glass window of the study, Steve jumped into the room, listening to the retro music that was getting louder and louder in the room, his brow furrowed slightly, reached out to pick up the shield he had placed in the study, and then walked towards the living room where the music was playing with a completely different dexterity than the strong reminder.
Using the shield as cover, Steve walked softly to the living room, using the corner of the building to see the gramophone spinning in the living room, and the familiar face on the sofa.
"I don't remember, I gave you the key."
Seeing the figure on the sofa, Steve's originally vigilant expression lowered slightly, but he couldn't help but say.
"Do you think I need it?"
Struggling to prop himself up from the sofa, Nick Fury looked at Steve opposite, twitched the wound on his face and said, "My wife kicked me out of the door." ”
"I didn't even know you were married?"
The reason given by Nick Fury made the expression on Steve's face speechless.
He didn't expect that the reason why the dignified Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. appeared in his room was actually for such a simple reason.
"There's so much more you don't know."
"I'm pretty sure of that, just like the previous ones."
Shaking his head and looking at Nick Fury's figure on the couch, Steve pressed the light switch on the wall: "But, sorry, Nick, there's still someone waiting for me down there, so ......"
turned on the lamp, and Nick Fury's appearance was visible under the light, but the words on Steve's lips couldn't help but stop.
After all, Nick Fury's current appearance is not as simple as being kicked out of the house, but more like he has been attacked by some serious attack.
In a quiet gesture towards Captain America, Nick Fury raised his hand to turn off the lamp again, held down the wound on his body in the dark, and used his mobile phone to transmit: "Be careful with eavesdropping." ”
Using the special protective equipment in the office, Nick Fury dodged the first wave of the explosion, but on the way to escape, he was also met with fierce resistance and nearly lost his life at the hands of his targets.
"Sorry I didn't come uninvited, but I really don't have anywhere to go."
While his mouth was disguised with his voice, Nick Fury's fingers were rapidly typing on the phone screen.
"There's a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D."
“!!!”
Nick Fury didn't have much to type on the screen in his hand, but what was displayed made the expression on Steve's face change suddenly.
Nick Fury's appearance surprised him, but he definitely didn't expect that the reason for the other party's crisis was actually from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Who else knows about your wife?"
Barely suppressing the look of surprise on his face, Steve asked, struggling to maintain his composure.
"It's some of my friends who know about this ......"
Hearing Steve's inquiry, Nick Fury covered his wounds and struggled to get up and walk towards where the other man was, while reaching out to pull something out of his pocket.
"Captain, are you alright?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window of the apartment, causing Nick Fury's hands to pause.
