Chapter 297: Rescuing the Hostages
Lean forward slightly.
Confronted with the contents of Agent Phil's report.
Even Nick Fury, who is always calm, can't hide the surprise on his face.
It's not just because Peggy Carter, the legendary agent, was transformed into a vampire, but also because of the name that Agent Fel's mouth uttered.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the intelligence, Agent?"
"I'm pretty sure sir."
Hearing Nick Fury's questioning, Agent Phil couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and shook his head in affirmative.
As an admirer of Captain America and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Phil is very familiar with Captain America's intelligence, and naturally knows what the name Dior means for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Steve's existence.
"Dio Brando."
Seeing Agent Phil's affirmative expression, Nick Fury was also a little convinced of the contents of his report, but he just thought of the name that appeared in the report. Nick Fury's swarthy face couldn't help but be a little solemn: "I didn't expect that even an evil existence like him actually survived, and the era that obviously belonged to him was already over." ”
For an existence like Dio Brando, there is a complete set of records within S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, the other party was once side by side with Captain America during World War II and finally turned himself into a vampire and went against Captain Steve, which added a bit of legend to the story of Captain America.
It's just that now that this story, the evil existence in the record has reappeared in front of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury's mentality is naturally not as calm as reading the information.
"Sir."
Looking at Nick Fury, who was deep in thought in front of him, Agent Phil hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but ask, "Should we tell the captain the news of Dior's appearance?" ”
In Agent Phil's opinion, this is related to Steve's former lover Peggy Carter and the other party's former rival Dio Brando, and he should let the captain know all this.
However, in the face of Agent Phil's advice.
Nick Fury's remaining intact eyes flashed with a hint of thought, but he finally shook his head and rejected Agent Phil's offer.
"It's not time yet, and telling the captain this news now is not only useless, but will cause the captain to be uneasy."
Nick Fury knows Steve well.
This Captain America may be a formidable fighter, but he also has his own persistence.
If you tell him about Peggy Carter and Dio Brando, it is likely to cause the other party to act impulsively.
Judging from the information reported by Agent Phil, it seems that Dio Brando's actions have such a purpose.
Nick Fury's idea is good, and in a sense, it can be said that it is the most suitable choice, but the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. ignores that sometimes the right decision is precisely the most difficult to accept.
And, in many cases, the development of things is not something that he can control as a simple director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
……
"Channel Seven confirms security."
Late at night, in the high-altitude flying fighter plane, Steve, who was fully equipped, calmly made the final equipment confirmation.
"Confirm safety."
Answering in a low voice, Natasha looked sideways at Captain America with a serious expression behind her, and couldn't help but show a shallow smile on her face, and whispered to ease the atmosphere: "How is it, Captain, is there any Yuxing activity on Saturday night?" ”
"You know, all my comrades who fought with me before are dead, so ......"
In the face of Natasha's inquiry, Steve silently adjusted the contact attack in his ear, and said with some self-deprecation: "No." ”
"In fact, I've been inviting the captain to go out and get a feel for the nightlife, but unfortunately, he hasn't shown any willingness to agree." On the other side, the falcon shrugged his shoulders and continued, "It's still the same as before, and every day is like an ascetic." ”
"Perhaps, you should have moved on from the past, Captain."
Hearing the falcon's description, Natasha raised her slender eyebrows: "You can't always put yourself seventy years ago. ”
"For me, that was my time."
Natasha's advice silenced Steve for a moment.
"I was born in that era, and I should have died in that era."
"But you survived, and you're in the modern age."
"It was just an accident."
"Perhaps, this is your fate."
"Hey, two."
Looking at Natasha and Steve, who were in an argument in front of them, Tom the Falcon was acting as a spectator with a nonchalant expression, and suddenly the report of the pilot in the driver's seat suddenly came to his ears, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "We seem to have arrived at our destination." ”
As Falcon's words fell, a voice from the cabin came: "Captain, we have arrived at the parachute landing area." ”
Hearing the report, Steve immediately stopped arguing with Natasha and opened the hatch.
In an instant, the howling wind poured into the flying fighter plane, and Steve put on his helmet with a calm face.
"Perhaps, Captain, you should try to embrace a new life."
Looking at Steve, who was ready, Natasha couldn't help but give advice.
"I'll try, when I want to."
Steve didn't refuse Natasha's offer, and he could sense the kindness in the other person's words.
It's just that, apparently, he's not ready.
"It's just that, right now, I don't have that idea."
After saying all this, Steve did not stop, and then jumped from the fighter plane with his shield.
"He's not wearing a parachute yet!"
Looking at Steve's disappearing figure, a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. operation team on the fighter plane suddenly reacted in hindsight.
"You'll get used to it."
Hearing this, Falcon turned to the team and grinned, and then jumped out of the plane with his arms outstretched.
Like Captain America, this one also did not wear a parachute.
Seeing that the two members of the Avengers jumped in this way one after another, the members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team on the fighter plane subconsciously set their eyes on the remaining Avengers member Natasha.
"What are you doing?"
Gazing at the team members, Natasha calmly put on the parachute in her hand.
"I need a parachute."
……
In mid-air, Steve shrunk his body behind his shield, trying to control the direction of his landing so that he didn't stray too far from the ship on target.
This time, the Avengers were tasked with rescuing the hostages.
A group of unknown armed pirates hijacked the ship, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on board sent a message revealing the ship's location.
Steve, on the other hand, leads the members of the Avengers and the S.H.I.E.L.D. operation team to carry out this mission to rescue the hostages.
Unlike previous actions that could destroy the world, the task of rescuing the hostages may seem a lot easier, but it is the daily business of S.H.I.E.L.D., or the Avengers.
After all, you can't expect some crazy guy to jump out every day and want to destroy the world.
Even if it's a supervillain, there are times to rest.
"Captain, do you need my help?"
Controlling the metal wings behind his back to fly to Steve's side, the falcon asked Captain America as he gazed at the ship below.
"No, I don't."
In the face of Falcon's inquiry, Steve replied with an unchanged expression, and at the same time quickly gave an order: "Sam, I need you to confirm the location of the hostages and cover my actions at the same time." ”
"No problem."
Hearing Steve's order, the falcon nodded his head, and the next moment he controlled the wings behind his back to flip sideways, and quickly swooped around the ship below.
Late at night, the darkness of the night gave the falcon natural protection.
Looking at the falcon's disappearing figure, a smile flashed on Steve's face, but the next moment his expression was correct, and he clenched the shield in his hand to block it.
Falling from a height of several hundred meters, the hardness of the sea surface is to some extent undoubted as the concrete floor.
Luckily, Steve's shield helped him perfectly offset the impact of the landing.
The next moment he was in the sea, Steve quickly leaned out of his body and swam towards the anchor.
With the superhuman power of the Super Soldier Serum, Steve's actions are exceptionally smooth.
He clinged to the ship's massive anchor and quickly climbed onto the ship's deck at extraordinary speed.
With a flick of his gaze, the location of an armed pirate was determined.
Just then, from the deck there was another loud commotion and the sound of bullets.
Steve's eyes flickered, and he knew that this was when the falcon began to act according to his orders.
Seeing this, Steve did not hesitate at all, immediately grabbed the shield in his hand and rushed towards the pirate who was attracted by the sound not far away.
Bang –
Get closer, throw your shield, kick away.
Steve's abilities may not be great against opponents with extraordinary strength, but he is extremely effective against the ordinary people of armed pirates. Even with guns, these pirates couldn't block Steve's blow, and with three or two strokes, he had easily eliminated most of the armed pirates on the deck.
"You're a little late."
Having eliminated the last pirate patrolling on deck, Steve reached out to catch the shield that flew back and turned sideways to Natasha who had just landed.
"No, it looks like I'm just in the right place."
Hearing Steve's teasing, Natasha hooked the corners of her mouth and untied the parachute behind her back.
"Captain, the location of the hostages has been determined."
At this time, the falcon on the other side flew around the ship and informed itself of the results of its exploration.
"They were trapped on the third floor of the ship."
"Natasha, you're in charge of the engine room, Tom and I'm in charge of rescuing the hostages."
Hearing the Falcon report, Steve didn't seem to hesitate and gave the order in an instant.
"Leave it to me."
Hearing Steve's assignment, Natasha's eyes flickered, and then she nodded in response, and quickly turned over and rushed towards the ship's engine room.
Looking at Natasha's back as she left, Steve withdrew his gaze and said to the falcon on the side.
"Alright, it's our turn next."
"I can't ask for it." Hearing Steve's words, Falcon raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The action just now was not enough to warm me up." ”
……
Here, in the face of Steve, the Avengers and the S.H.I.E.L.D. team took action.
On the other side, in a certain warehouse of the ship, a guy who was obviously a pirate leader said with a cold face: "How is it, what did the group of guys from S.H.I.E.L.D. say, did they agree to give money?" ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't responded yet."
Hearing this, a subordinate pirate replied with an impatient expression: "Could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't want to pay?" ”
As outlaw pirates, they hijacked the ship for money.
At least, the ostensible purpose is this.
"No way, unless S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to let all these hostages die, if that's the case, we will expose them and let the world know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is ruthless in not saving them."
"Perhaps, we should kill a few hostages first, so that S.H.I.E.L.D. will give in."
During the quarrel, one of the hideous-faced pirates suddenly came up with his own idea.
"But why did we have to choose S.H.I.E.L.D. as a target, I've seen TV, the Avengers ......," one of the pirates couldn't help but say during the argument.
Don't think that pirates don't have common sense, in this information-based society, even their group of armed pirates know about the Avengers. Although they are outlaws, they also know that persimmons are soft to eat, and obviously, S.H.I.E.L.D. with the Avengers is not their ideal soft persimmon.
"However, if you want to get your money, S.H.I.E.L.D. is obviously one of the quickest channels."
"What's more, the so-called Avengers, maybe that's just made up by the American government to deceive us, you know, that evil empire is always good at using false excuses to deceive the world."
For the Avengers, there are those who believe in the pirates, but at the same time there are those who remain skeptical.
“…… In this world, how can anyone be able to block bullets, have you forgotten what happened to our compatriots, the evil America cannot be trusted. ”
"Does S.H.I.E.L.D. belong to the United States?"
"They all speak English anyway, and even if they don't, they can't get out of the relationship."
"But what do we do in case everything is true?"
There are also pirates who have expressed concern.
"Don't be afraid."
Faced with the situation of his subordinates, the pirate leader, who had always had a cold face, spoke: "Regarding this, I have been prepared for a long time, so even if the Avengers really appear, I guarantee that they will not come back." At this, a cold smug smile appeared on the pirate leader's face.
As he spoke, out of the shadow of the barn came a blonde man with a mask on his face and a grim expression. At the same time, behind the man, a group of black shadows with flashing scarlet eyes slowly appeared, surrounding the group of pirates, and let out a low roar from their mouths.
