Chapter 51: Confrontation with Hawkeye

Coulson still underestimated Nick Fury's determination, in the face of more and more special events, only ordinary agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could not deal with it, and now Nick Fury has made up his mind to establish a special team composed entirely of super soldiers.

In this day and age, superheroes still seem to be a relatively unfamiliar term, and although Nick Fury has formed a team similar to the Avengers, in his mind, this team still needs to be in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As long as this team can complete some difficult tasks well, then Nick Fury is sure to use this as an example to persuade those members of the World Security Council to form a special combat team that belongs entirely to S.H.I.E.L.D.

So, although Bucky's request was not low, Nick Fury was very decisive in agreeing to Bucky, exchanging Edman alloy for Bucky's three missions.

Coulson, who got Nick Fury's just that, smiled at Bucky and said, "Director Fury has agreed to your request, and now, Mr. Barnes, you are our S.H.I.E.L.D. partner." I wonder if Mr. Barnes needs our S.H.I.E.L.D. to help you make the Edman Alloy into a finished dagger? ”

After a little consideration, Bucky nodded and said, "Two short swords with 30 cm blades, you S.H.I.E.L.D. helped me build them, just send them to me." ”

In order to make the Edman alloy into a finished weapon, it needs extremely high temperatures to melt the Edman alloy, and Bucky does not have the equipment to help him, so he simply leaves the task of building the short sword directly to S.H.I.E.L.D. to complete. In fact, Bucky also thought about asking Magneto to help him build a short sword, but first, the current Bucky has no friendship with Magneto, and second, Bucky is not sure if Magneto has the ability to change the form of the Edman alloy, so he finally gave up this idea.

Moreover, these two Edman Alloy Short Swords are not the best weapons in Bucky's mind. Bucky's most wanted set of equipment was to make a combat uniform out of Wakanda vibranium and a weapon from Antarctic vibranium like Marvel's No. 1 local tyrant Black Panther. It can be said that if there is such a set of equipment, then Bucky is equivalent to having the sharpest spear and the strongest shield on the planet at the same time, which can definitely greatly improve Bucky's combat effectiveness.

Touching his chin, Bucky couldn't help but think, "Maybe I should find a chance to go to Wakanda, maybe I also have a chance to get some Wakanda vibranium." ”

"Okay, Mr. Barnes, we will build the short sword you want in the shortest possible time and deliver it to you." Seeing Bucky's satisfied expression, Coulson then asked, "I wonder when Mr. Barnes will start completing the mission?" ”

Bucky, who was about to have two Edelman Alloy Short Swords, was in a good mood, and without any excuses, he replied very cheerfully, "Anytime." ”

"Then I wonder if Mr. Barnes has time tomorrow to complete the first mission you promised?"

"Tomorrow? Got a task so soon? ”

Bucky was a little strange, as if the mission had been prepared for him in advance. However, Bucky also said that it didn't matter, and it was also a good choice to complete three missions quickly and not owe each other with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Yes, I hope that Mr. Barnes can have a discussion with Barton tomorrow, so that we can understand your true strength, which will be beneficial for you to cooperate with Barton in the future, which is the first mission."

After listening to Coulson's explanation, Bucky glanced at Hawkeye on the side strangely, and said with a strange smile: "Little Barton, it seems that you are not very popular in S.H.I.E.L.D., you see, Coulson is looking forward to me teaching you a good lesson!" ”

Hawkeye snorted coldly, did not show weakness, and responded in an unkind tone: "Who teaches whom, maybe I will shoot you into a hornet's nest tomorrow!" ”

"Come pick me up tomorrow morning."

Bucky said a word to Coulson, then got up and walked out of the restaurant. Hawkeye behind him was still shouting, "I'll let you know I'm amazing, old man!" ”

Early the next morning, Coulson arrived at Bucky's house as promised, and drove Bucky to the outskirts of New York. Less than half an hour later, Bucky was in a forest, but it was not a pristine forest, and a fence outside the forest made it clear that the forest was artificial.

Coulson drove the car through the gate of the fence and parked next to a modest two-story building.

"This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jungle training ground, simulating the environment of the wild forest, and each of our agent cadets needs to pass the trials of the jungle training ground before they can successfully graduate and become a field agent."

Coulson got out of the car and introduced Bucky to the artificial forest as he led Bucky into the small two-story building.

Entering the building, Bucky found that the facilities inside were not as simple as the appearance of this building, hundreds of monitoring screens were hung on the walls, and all corners of the forest were included in the monitoring range, and this should be the command room of this jungle training ground. Bucky can be sure that the technology of these devices alone is at least a decade ahead of the outside world.

"The jungle is the terrain I'm best at, don't say I'm bullying you, you can ask Agent Coulson to change the field, even in the unobstructed field, I can beat you!" A haughty voice came from Bucky's side.

Bucky turned his head and saw Hawkeye looking at him proudly, as if he hadn't taken himself seriously.

Today, Hawkeye still has his short blond hair standing up high, still wearing that exaggerated sunglasses, but he has a longbow behind his back, and it is this longbow that suddenly changes Hawkeye's temperament and makes him look from a bad boy to an excellent warrior.

Bucky stepped forward with a smile and patted Hawkeye on the shoulder, now Hawkeye is only about 1.7 meters tall, and his body has not grown, standing in front of Bucky, he is a little weaker in terms of momentum.

"Little Barton, you must know that when I fought in the jungle, I am afraid that your grandfather was not born yet!"

Bucky's words of relying on the old and selling the old immediately angered Hawkeye, grabbed Bucky's neckline, gritted his teeth, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and with a flick of his hand, he let go of Bucky's collar.

"I'll be waiting for you in the training ground!"

After saying that, Hawkeye walked out of the room without looking back.

"Why do you have to provoke Barton?" Coulson sighed and asked faintly.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to try my outreach, and I'm too, wanting to see what the kind of partner I'm going to work with is!" Bucky straightened the somewhat wrinkled collar that Hawkeye had caught, and continued, "You can get started, but don't let little Barton wait for me to escape." ”

Coulson suggested to Bucky, "Need a weapon?" You can easily be a live target with your bare hands, you can also choose a bow or a crossbow, or you can take a shield and increase your defenses. ”

Coulson is very aware of Hawkeye's combat ability in the jungle, and the kind of archery that is silent and can hit targets a hundred meters away even in the jungle is absolutely terrifying. Although Coulson knows that Bucky's strength is very strong, but this kind of jungle battle between the two sides has opened a certain distance, Coulson still thinks that Hawkeye's victory rate is much higher.

Shaking his head, Bucky rejected Coulson's kindness and said confidently: "It's too much of a bully for a child to take a weapon, it's okay to be empty-handed." ”

Seeing that Bucky was so confident, Coulson didn't say much, took Bucky to another exit of the room, and said: "Go out from this passage, you can enter the training ground, this jungle is about a kilometer around, you and Barton will meet at a distance of 500 meters at the beginning." There are no rules in the jungle, and if one side admits defeat, loses the ability to fight, or dies, the battle ends. ”

Bucky smiled slightly to show that he understood, and then entered the passage and walked towards the training ground.

When Coulson returned to the command room, a tall black man in a black trench coat was already standing in front of the surveillance screen, with no expression on his face, as if he were a wooden man. This person is none other than Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has countless things to deal with every day, but he still found time to come here to watch the duel between Bucky and Hawkeye, which shows how much Nick Fury values these two.

"Barnes and Barton, who do you think more of?" Nick Fury didn't look back, as Coulson asked.

"I think Barton is more advantageous, after all, this jungle is simply his home turf, and Mr. Barnes may not be able to guard against Barton's feathered arrows."

"Perhaps!" Nick Fury said noncommittally, then stopped making any statement, his eyes were fixed on the surveillance screen, and at this time the two sides of the duel had entered the jungle.

In the training ground, looking at the tall trees around him, Bucky couldn't help but sigh at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wealth. Building and maintaining such a jungle training ground in the suburbs of New York is not a matter of a few million dollars.

But this training ground does have a very good effect. In this complex jungle environment, it is no wonder that S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to establish such a training ground in New York, which is indeed a good place to train excellent agents.

Bucky left the passage and didn't look for Hawkeye, after all, he was not familiar with this training ground, and it was better to let the target take the initiative to find him. Bucky found a small treeless clearing near the exit of the passage and stood there, as if defenseless, waiting for Hawkeye to come to him.
