Ten minutes later, Coulson's wounds had been treated, and he didn't stop at the hospital, but took Bucky to a conference room in the New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. Connected to the video call in the conference room, soon the one-eyed Nick Fury appeared on the screen.

"Hello Mr. Barnes, I'm Nick Fury, the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Although Nick Fury had watched the fight between Bucky and Hawkeye, he did not meet Bucky at that time, and today is the first time Bucky and Nick Fury have met.

After Nick Fury greeted him in his usual emotionless tone, he asked Coulson directly: "I was short of time and couldn't be clear enough, but now you can tell me in detail what it is that caused us to lose three agents." ”

As early as when Coulson came up from the ground, it was like Nick Fury reported the situation and asked for help, but Coulson was vague at that time, and Nick Fury only knew that a strange rat had appeared, and the details were not clear.

Coulson nodded solemnly and began to introduce his group's experience. From entering the sewers, to Agent Michael being dragged away by a monster attack, to the tracking arrows that the monster used to shoot with Eagle Eye, setting traps, and controlling tens of thousands of ordinary rats to besiege his group, Coulson explained it to Nick Fury in detail.

Faced with this monster of unknown origin, Nick Fury also had a headache, was silent for a moment, and asked Bucky: "Mr. Barnes, you fought that monster, do you have anything to add?" ”

Hearing this, Bucky lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "It's strange that when I was in the warehouse, I saw a pair of eyes of an unknown creature in that rat hole, and that thing seems to be able to control rats, which is very similar to that strange rat. It's just that the rat hole is less than twenty centimeters in diameter, and the monster rat can't get into it. ”

Bucky's words immediately reminded Coulson that there was so much going on today that Coulson ignored this little episode in the warehouse.

"You mean, there may be more than one such rat?"

Nick Fury's tone couldn't help but be a little gloomy, one such monster rat caused S.H.I.E.L.D. to lose three agents, or with the full help of Bucky to save the lives of the rest of the people, if there were a few more such monsters, I am afraid that the whole of New York would be disturbed by them.

"I'm not sure, but according to my guess, maybe not." Bucky shook his head and continued, "At the warehouse site, we analyzed that there should be a giant monster rat there, not only eating a lot of the wheat in the warehouse, but also the poor administrator. But until now, we still don't know how the giant monster got into the warehouse, and a rat hole with an inner diameter of less than twenty centimeters is certainly not something that a monster of that size can get into. ”

Coulson frowned, puzzled: "And Mr. Barnes, what is your guess?" ”

"Perhaps, that rat in the sewers is the one I saw in the rat hole."

"This ...... How is this possible! How could there be such a creature! ”

It's no wonder that Coulson has such a big reaction, in this era, although S.H.I.E.L.D. has been exposed to more and more mysterious events, but creatures that will change in size dramatically, they really haven't thought about it.

However, Bucky, who is from another world, knows that such creatures are not uncommon in the Marvel world. Not to mention the famous Hulk family, even the alpha warriors researched by the Hydra organization that had fought with Bucky were able to change their body shape in a short period of time through potions, but the change was not too large.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and both Nick Fury and Coulson bowed their heads and were silent, digesting Bucky's message.

If it is indeed a monster rat that can make a huge change in its body shape, as Bucky said, then things are much trickier, after all, a monster rat that is nearly three meters long, although it looks much more terrifying, but its shortcomings are also very clear, and its huge size makes it make a lot of noise wherever it appears. But if it can change its size, then even if S.H.I.E.L.D. uses all its resources, it may not be able to find a mouse in a metropolis like New York, which is not much bigger than a domestic cat.

After a long silence, Nick Fury asked Bucky, "Is there any good way for Mr. Barnes to help us catch or kill this strange rat, if it continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid the whole of New York will not be enough for this guy to toss." ”

"What can I do, I think I should go to some biologist or animal behaviorist or something, maybe they can analyze what this mouse is trying to do!"

After a moment's thought, Bucky then proposed, "But a single rat isn't scary, as long as you have the right weapons and don't go to a dark and complicated place like a sewer, I may not be able to kill it." But if it controlled tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of rat tides, it would be a nightmare, and I certainly wouldn't be its opponent at that time anyway. So, I think you S.H.I.E.L.D. can start a rat extermination operation now, and exterminating the ordinary rats in New York is equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of that rat. ”

Coulson and Nick Fury had already thought of Bucky's proposal before, but in fact, it was not the strange rat that really caused trouble for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this time, but the rat tide controlled by him. As long as the rats are not allowed to gather a sufficient number of rats, the threat of the rats will undoubtedly be lowered by several notches.

"Don't worry, I've asked my agents to carry out the extermination of rats, and this time they have brought enough weapons and equipment, even if the monster rats gather another 100,000 rat tide, those agents will be able to deal with it."

Although Nick Fury is full of confidence, Bucky is not very optimistic about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rodent extermination operation, if it is a plate of loose rats, it is indeed easy to eliminate, but now the rats have a highly intelligent leader, and in a complex environment like the sewer, it is really not possible to achieve much success.

Although he thought so, Bucky didn't say it, the rat extermination operation was going to be carried out no matter what, and now Bucky had no choice but to let these people from S.H.I.E.L.D. act as a vanguard and try it.

After a few moments of deliberating on the details of the extermination operation, Nick Fury ended the video conference, and Bucky was not in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base for long, and was driven home by an agent.

In the evening, Bucky, who had been tossing for a day, did not immediately start cultivating his spiritual power, but lay on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and kept recalling today's battle in his mind.

During Nick Fury's video conference this afternoon, Bucky was hiding a little, and in today's battle, Bucky had a vague sense that this strange rat seemed to have a different attitude towards him than those agents.

Bucky still clearly remembers that when Hawkeye opened the passage to the ground, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were actually in danger, and as long as the rats kept besieging those people, Bucky believed that there would be fewer people who could make it up alive. But at that time, the strange rat let go of those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and instead controlled the rat swarm to attack him, as if the strange rat had some deep hatred with him, and would rather let go of Coulson and the others, and wanted to leave himself in the sewer.

Although the monster rat miscalculated, Bucky managed to escape in the end, but the feeling of being targeted was not good, and Bucky had a hunch that if he confronted the monster again, he would still kill himself at all costs.

Although he doesn't understand why he has become a mortal enemy of a mouse, now that things have come to this point, Bucky must also be prepared for a battle that may come at any time.

At the same time, through the battle with the strange rat, Bucky also realized that his strength growth was a little slow, and it has been nearly a year since he crossed over, although his mental strength is growing steadily, but in terms of physical strength, there has been no obvious progress.

"Perhaps, we need to use some high-tech means to strengthen ourselves." Bucky lay on the bed, whispering to himself.

In Bucky's view, there are only two kinds of high-tech means that suit him now, one is similar to a super soldier serum or using other methods to directly change his body to make himself have more powerful combat ability; The other is to rely on the assistance of equipment, like his previous mechanical arm, so that his strength and speed can be improved.

Although the first method can essentially improve his own strength, the technology in this area is not perfect yet, and Bucky doesn't want to become an experiment for those crazy scientists, so now Bucky is focusing on being able to enhance his equipment.

The old mechanical arm Bucky still retained, but the technology of more than forty years ago could no longer provide him with effective help. However, that robotic arm has almost achieved perfection in neural control, and even now, it can be regarded as the world's top technology, and the research value is very high.

Bucky is ready to use the technology contained in this mechanical arm to find a weapon expert and customize a suit of armor that will increase his strength and speed. Moreover, this weapon expert Bucky also has a candidate, that is, the future Iron Man, Tony Stark, with his own mechanical arm, it is possible that Iron Man can be born a few years earlier.

……

The next day, when Bucky prepares to go to Stark Group to visit his old friend Obadiah Stein and see if he can get the whereabouts of Playboy who is still in the crowd of women, the visitor arrives first.

"Coulson, don't tell me that the big rat is out making trouble again!"

Looking at Coulson who came to the door, Bucky couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the benefits of receiving S.H.I.E.L.D. are many troubles.

"Mr. Barnes, I came to you today to join you on a trip to Columbia University, and I've made an appointment with Professor Quake there to tell him about the strange rats, and see if I can get some help from this professor of zoology." After Coulson explained his intentions, he pulled Bucky out of the door and got into the S.H.I.E.L.D. car.

It seems that the big rat did force Coulson to be a little anxious, he was originally a very personable man, but today he actually pulled himself away, and he didn't ask if he had eaten breakfast, Bucky secretly scolded himself.

Columbia University is on Manhattan Island, some distance from Brooklyn, where Bucky lives, and it is the rush hour for the two to arrive at Columbia University.

Coulson came to an office in the school building, knocked on the door, and waited for a response from inside before pushing the door in.

"Agent Coulson, it's been a long time, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't in trouble, you never knew to come and sit with me."

Bucky saw a graceful man in his thirties wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses get up from his seat and greet Coulson with a smile, and it was clear that the two had known each other before, and it seemed that they were still on good terms.

Coulson also walked up with a smile and hugged Professor Quake before introducing Bucky: "This is Professor Quake, don't look at his youth, he is definitely a leader in the field of zoology, and he has worked happily with our S.H.I.E.L.D. several times before." Later, Bucky was introduced to Professor Quake, who turned out to be an S.H.I.E.L.D. advisor.

After saying hello, Coulson immediately got down to business, telling Professor Quake all the information about the rat, asking if he had a way to find the rat or find out what the rat's purpose was.

After the initial shock, Professor Quake quickly fell into deep thought, and after a long pause, he spoke: "Any animal's actions have a purpose, and this mutated rat like you said, if it really has intelligence comparable to that of a human, its purpose must be stronger. When the rats are hungry, they will go to the warehouse to steal wheat to eat. Stirring up a rat tide in the sewers to wipe you out should be a sign of your threat to it. ”

At this point, Professor Quake looked down again and thought about it, and after a long time, he looked at Bucky with strange eyes and said, "In the end, this mutated rat let Colson and them go, and chose to deal with you, Mr. Barnes, this must also have a purpose." Maybe it's because you think you're too strong to be a threat to Mr. Barnes, or maybe it's because the mutated rat has other intentions for you. ”
