Chapter 297 Rescue the Hostages
Lean forward slightly.
Confront the contents of Agent Phil's report.
Even the usually calm Nick Fury could not hide the surprise on his face.
Not only because of the legendary agent Peggy Carter being transformed into a vampire, but also because of the name that Agent Phil said.
"Are you sure the information is correct, Agent?"
"I am absolutely certain about this, sir."
Upon hearing Nick Fury's question, Agent Phil couldn't help but reveal a bit of a wry smile on his face, shook his head and replied in the 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. Naturally, he also knows the meaning of the name Dio, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the existence of Steve.
"Dior Brando."
Seeing Agent Phil's affirmative expression, Nick Fury was somewhat convinced of the content of his report, but he just thought of the name that appeared in the report. Nick Fury's dark face couldn't help but look serious: "I didn't expect that even an evil existence like him would survive. It's clear that his era has ended long ago."
For beings like Dio Brando, there is a complete set of records within S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, the other party worked side by side with Captain America during World War II, but eventually turned against him and turned himself into a vampire. The process of confronting Captain America added a bit of legend to the story of Captain America Steve.
However, now that the evil being in the story and records has appeared in front of SHIELD again, Nick Fury's mentality cannot be 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 about Dio's appearance?"
In Agent Phil's view, this involves Steve's former lover Peggy Carter and his former rival Dio Brando, and the captain should be informed of all this.
However, faced with Agent Phil's advice.
A trace of thought flashed across Nick Fury's remaining intact eyes, but in the end he shook his head and rejected Agent Phil's proposal.
"It's not the right time yet. Telling the captain this news now will not only be of no use, but will actually make the captain uneasy."
Nick Fury knows Steve well.
This Captain America may be a powerful warrior, 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 intelligence reported by Agent Phil, Dio Brando's actions seemed to have such a purpose.
Nick Fury's idea is good, and in a sense, it can even be said to be the most suitable choice. However, the director of SHIELD has ignored that sometimes the right decision is the most difficult to accept. which type.
Moreover, many times, the development of things is beyond his control as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
…
"Channel 7 confirms safety."
Late at night, in a high-altitude fighter plane, Steve, who was fully equipped, was making the final confirmation of the equipment with a calm expression.
"Confirm safety."
After answering in a low voice, Natasha turned her head to look at the serious-looking Captain America behind her. A slight smile appeared on her face, and she softly eased the atmosphere and said, "How are you, Captain? Are there any Yuxing activities on Saturday night?" ?"
"You know, all my comrades who fought with me before are dead, so..."
Facing Natasha's inquiry, Steve silently adjusted the contact attack in his ears, and said with some self-deprecation: "Not really."
"In fact, I have been inviting the captain to go outside and experience the nightlife. Unfortunately, he has never shown his willingness to agree." On the other side, Falcon shrugged and continued: "It's still the same as before.
Live every day like an ascetic. "
"Perhaps you should move on from the past, Captain."
Hearing Falcon's description, Natasha raised her slender eyebrows: "You can't always place yourself seventy years ago."
"For me, that was my time."
Natasha's advice made Steve silent for a moment.
"I was born in that era, and I was supposed to die in that era."
"But you survived and made it to the present day."
"It was just an accident."
"Maybe, this is your destiny."
"Hey, you two."
Looking at Natasha and Steve who were engaged in a dispute in front of them, Falcon Tom was acting as a bystander with a nonchalant expression. Suddenly, a report from the pilot in the driver's seat came to his ears, and he couldn't help but interrupt: " We seem to have reached our destination.”
As Falcon finished speaking, a voice came from the cabin: "Captain, we have arrived at the parachute landing area."
After hearing the report, Steve immediately stopped his argument with Natasha and opened the hatch.
In an instant, howling wind surged into the flying fighter plane, and Steve put on his helmet with a calm face.
"Maybe, Captain, you should try to accept your new life."
Looking at Steve who was prepared, Natasha couldn't help but give advice.
"I'll try when I feel like it."
Steve did not reject Natasha's proposal, he could feel the kindness in the other person's words.
But, obviously he wasn't ready yet.
"It's just that, right now, I don't have this idea."
After saying all this, Steve didn't stop, and immediately jumped out of the fighter plane with his shield in hand.
"He hasn't even put on his parachute yet!"
Seeing Steve's disappearing figure, a member of the SHIELD action team on the fighter plane suddenly reacted belatedly.
"You'll get used to coming here."
Upon hearing this, Falcon turned his head and grinned at the team member, then opened his arms and jumped out of the plane.
Like Captain America, this one is also not wearing a parachute.
Seeing two Avengers members jumping off in this way, the members of the SHIELD team on the fighter plane subconsciously set their sights on the remaining Avengers member Natasha.
"What are you doing?"
Meeting the gazes of the team members, Natasha put on the parachute in her hand with a calm expression.
"I need a parachute."
…
In mid-air, Steve huddled his body behind the shield, trying to control his landing direction so as not to deviate too far from the target ship.
This time, the mission the Avengers received was a hostage rescue operation.
An unknown group of armed pirates hijacked the ship, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on board sent a message revealing the ship's location.
Steve led the members of the Avengers and the SHIELD action team to carry out this mission to rescue the hostages.
Compared with previous actions by opponents that could easily destroy the world, the task of rescuing hostages seems much easier, but this is the daily work of SHIELD or the Avengers.
After all, you can't expect some crazy guy to come out and try to destroy the world every day.
Even supervillains have time to rest.
"Captain, do you need my help?"
Controlling the metal wings on his back to fly to Steve's side, Falcon looked at the ship below and asked Captain America, who was landing rapidly beside him.
"unnecessary."
Facing Falcon's inquiry, Steve responded with an unchanging expression and quickly issued 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, Falcon nodded lightly, and the next moment he controlled the wings on his back to flip sideways, and then quickly dived around the ship below.
Late at night, the dark night gave the falcon natural protection.
Watching the Falcon disappear, a smile flashed across Steve's face, but his expression straightened out the next moment, holding the shield in his hand tightly in front of him.
Falling from a height of several hundred meters, the sea surface is no doubt as hard as the cement floor to a certain extent.
Fortunately, the shield in Steve's hand helped him perfectly offset the impact of the landing.
The next moment he submerged into the sea, Steve quickly stretched out his body and swam towards the location of the anchor.
With the superhuman strength brought by the Super Soldier Serum, Steve's actions were extremely smooth.
He clung to the ship's huge anchor and quickly boarded the ship's deck at an extraordinary speed.
In a blink of an eye, he identified the location of an armed pirate.
Just then, there was another loud noise and the sound of bullets fired from the deck.
Steve's eyes flickered, and he knew that Falcon began to act according to his orders.
Seeing this, Steve didn't hesitate at all, then grabbed the shield in his hand and rushed towards the pirate who was attracted by the sound not far away.
Bang——
Get close, throw shield, kick away.
Steve's ability may not be outstanding when fighting opponents with extraordinary strength, but it is extremely effective when facing ordinary people like armed pirates. Even with guns in hand, these pirates could not withstand Steve's blow. In just a few strokes, he had easily eliminated most of the armed pirates on the deck.
"You guys are a little late."
After getting rid of the last patrolling pirate on the deck, Steve reached out to catch the flying shield, turned sideways and said something to Natasha who had just fallen.
"No, it looks like I came just in time."
Hearing Steve's teasing, Natasha curled her lips and unhooked the parachute behind her back.
"Captain, we have determined the location of the hostages."
At this time, the falcon on the other side flew around the ship and informed him of the results of his investigation.
"They were trapped on the third floor of the ship."
"Natasha, you are in charge of the engine room, Tom and I are in charge of rescuing the hostages."
After hearing Falcon's report, Steve didn't seem to hesitate and gave the order instantly.
"give it to me."
Upon hearing the task assigned by Steve, Natasha's eyes flashed, and then she nodded in agreement, and at the same time quickly turned over and rushed towards the engine room of the ship.
Watching Natasha leave, Steve retracted his gaze and then said to Falcon beside him.
"Okay, now it's our turn."
"It's what I asked for." 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 front of Steve, the Avengers and the SHIELD team launched into 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 about it, what do the guys from S.H.I.E.L.D. say? Have they agreed to pay?"
"SHIELD has not responded yet."
Upon hearing this, a pirate who looked like a subordinate replied impatiently: "Is it because SHIELD doesn't want to pay?"
As outlaw pirates, they hijacked the ship for money.
At least, that's the ostensible purpose.
"Impossible, unless SHIELD wants all these hostages to die. If so, we will expose them and let the world know SHIELD's cruel approach of not saving them."
"Maybe we should kill a few hostages first so SHIELD will give in."
During the quarrel, one of the ferocious-looking pirates suddenly came up with his own idea.
"But why do we have to choose SHIELD as our target? I've seen the Avengers on TV..." During the argument, one of the pirates couldn't help but say.
Don't think that pirates don't have common sense. In this information society, even their group of armed pirates know the news about the Avengers. Although they are desperadoes, they also know that they are easy to pick on the weak, and obviously, S.H.I.E.L.D. with the Avengers is not their ideal weak persimmon.
"But if you want to get money, SHIELD is obviously one of the fastest channels."
"What's more, the so-called Avengers may be just fabricated by the American government to deceive us. You know, that evil empire is always good at using false excuses to deceive the world."
Regarding the Avengers, there are some pirates who believe in it, but there are also those who are skeptical.
"...How can anyone in this world stop a bullet? Have you forgotten what happened to our compatriots? The evil America cannot be trusted."
"Does SHIELD belong to the United States?"
"They all speak English anyway, so even if they don't, it doesn't matter."
"But what if it's all true?"
Some pirates also expressed concern.
"do not be afraid."
Facing the discussion among his subordinates, the pirate leader who always had a cold face said: "I have already made preparations for this, so even if the Avengers really show up, I guarantee that they will No return." Having said this, a cold and proud smile appeared on the pirate leader's face.
Following his words, a blond man with a mask on his face and a cold expression walked out from the shadow of the warehouse. At the same time, a group of black figures with flashing scarlet eyes slowly appeared behind the man, surrounding the group of pirates, and let out a low roar.
