Chapter 300 Questioning
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The metal arm struck the shield, making a dull impact.
The sneak attacker was extremely powerful, but the vibranium shield in Steve's hand perfectly offset the opponent's strength.
Waving his shield, Steve blocked the attacker's heavy blow and then flicked it away.
Only then did Steve see the appearance of the sneak attacker.
The sneak attacker had cold eyes and wore a black mask covering most of his face. There was a bright red five-pointed star on the silver-white metal arm.
"Who are you?"
Holding the shield in his hand, Steve looked at the cold man in front of him. For some reason, the other man's appearance made him feel vaguely familiar.
"..."
Facing Steve's questioning, the man waved his metal arm again with an expressionless face, and was about to step forward.
Bang, bang——
However, at this moment, the bullet flying from a distance accurately hit the silver metal arm, sparking a few sparks.
Steve wasn't alone on the ship.
He stopped, glanced at Steve in front of him, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bullet. At this time, the situation in front of him was already clear. Against the double attack of Steve and the SHIELD action team, even with a metal arm, there was no chance of winning.
Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, the man paused on Steve's face with his cold gaze, then turned around and ran away from the ship.
Seeing the man running away, Steve frowned and launched a pursuit without hesitation.
The man was extremely fast, even against Steve who had been transformed by the super soldier serum.
Seeing that the distance could not be closed, Steve immediately waved the shield in his hand and threw it fiercely.
Bang!
Under the influence of superhuman strength, the vibranium shield cut through the void and flew behind the man in an instant.
However, just when the shield was about to hit, the man who had been running suddenly turned around and stretched out his silver-white metal arm to catch the spinning shield. Then, with a shocked look in his eyes, Steve suddenly waved his hand and threw the shield back towards his position again.
He stretched out his hands to catch the flying shield. The powerful force coming from the shield made Steve involuntarily take several steps back.
When he looked up again, he only saw the back of a man standing on the edge of the ship, dodging the action team's shots and jumping down.
"It seems like a lot of things happened over there during my absence."
Natasha appeared on the other half of the ship, looked at Steve and the disappearing figure, and raised her eyebrows.
"Who is that guy, Captain? Is he also a vampire?"
"I don't know." Looking away from the direction where the man disappeared, Steve turned to look at Natasha in front of him, and shook his head: "But that shouldn't be the case. The other party's strength and speed are stronger than the vampire who just fought. And, there’s a metal arm.”
"Metal arm?"
After hearing Steve's answer, Natasha turned her head and looked in the direction where the man disappeared, her eyes twinkling.
…
"vampire?"
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Tri-Wing Building.
When Nick Fury heard the mission report from Steve, the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Not only was it a vampire, I was also attacked by a guy with a metal arm."
"Metal arm!"
This time, the expression on Nick Fury's face was more obvious.
"You don't seem surprised at all by the appearance of vampires?"
Noticing Nick Fury's surprised expression at the two reports, Steve's eyes flashed with a look of doubt, and he was keenly aware of the problem.
"Have it?"
Facing Steve's question, Nick Fury habitually turned his face to meet Steve's eyes.
"..."
Looking at each other in silence, Steve suddenly said: "You know,
Nick, whenever you tell a lie, look someone in the eye and tell me what's going on! "
"I didn't lie." After hearing Steve's revelation, Nick Fury immediately replied in a deep voice: "I have no obligation to tell you SHIELD's confidential information, Captain. The reason why the information is confidential is because it cannot be Too many people know."
"It seems that you are hiding something, Nick Fury."
Nick Fury's attitude only made Steve more confident in his judgment.
Nick Fury hid important information from himself.
"I thought we were friends, Nick Fury."
"We are an intelligence agency, Captain, do you know how injured my eye is?" Faced with Steve's question, Nick Fury still replied expressionlessly: "For me, friends can be It’s not a good word. You don’t know what the other person is... what kind of danger is hidden under the inconspicuous appearance..."
"I don't know what you have experienced in the past, Nick Fury. I only know that your secret will cause fatal danger to the execution of the mission." His eyes glanced over Nick Fury's eyepatch, and Steve also He said in the same unkind tone: "We are carrying out a dangerous mission without knowing it. The appearance of vampires this time has made the operation to rescue the hostages quite passive. Our mission will almost fail."
"Believe me, Captain, I'm as surprised as you are about this vampire's appearance."
"But, you obviously know the information about these vampires better than I do."
After being silent for a few seconds under Steve's gaze, Nick Fury changed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If possible, I would rather not know this information."
Ever since he learned the information about vampires, Nick Fury has been working hard to conceal the content related to it. However, this mission to rescue the hostages made his long-term efforts fail.
"...SHIELD has always collected information about vampires. The news related to it in the past has always happened in Norway. Occasionally, there is news about vampires appearing in New York. When SHIELD reacts and plans to take action, , and soon discovered that these messages were either false intelligence deliberately created by some people, or they had already ended without leaving much meaningful intelligence content. It was not until recently that S.H.I.E.L.D. learned A piece of news..."
Having said this, Nick Fury paused subconsciously. He moved his only intact eye to look at Steve, who was frowning deeply: "Information about the disappearance of former agent Peggy Carter, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What did you say?!"
Nick Fury's words caused Steve's calm face to change instantly. He looked at the director of SHIELD in front of him and said excitedly.
"Peggy is missing!"
Looking at Steve who could not hide his excitement, Nick Fury couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. It was precisely because he considered that Peggy Carter's existence was too special for Steve, so After learning about the other party's disappearance, Nick Fury chose to hide everything.
"Calm down, Captain!"
The thoughts in his mind flashed away. Looking at Captain America who was gradually losing control of his emotions, Nick Fury immediately spoke out to comfort him.
"In fact, we have discovered the missing Peggy Carter."
Nick Fury's words of complete comfort or words obviously had an effect. After learning that Peggy had not suffered any accident, Steve's original excitement gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress himself. Uneasy in his heart, he looked at Nick Fury in front of him: "So, how is Peggy's situation? She is still..."
"Before telling the captain the specific situation of Agent Peggy, I hope you will remain calm enough no matter what the outcome is."
Looking at Steve with an obviously worried and expectant expression on his face, Nick Fury decided to mention getting vaccinated first.
Faced with Nick Fury's reminder, Steve was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
Seeing that Steve's expression finally regained his composure, Nick Fury continued in a deep voice: "In fact, the moment they learned that Agent Peggy Carter was missing, SHIELD had already launched a search. During an unexpected mission, Agent May, a member of the special agent team in charge of the Centipede organization, discovered traces of Peggy Carter, and... met Agent Peggy Carter who was transformed into a vampire, and from Agent May and Peggy Carter herself... According to the description, the person who transformed her into a vampire is... Dio Brando."
While naming the mastermind behind the scenes, Nick Fury's one eye looked at Steve in front of him.
From SHIELD's information about World War II, Nick Fury clearly understands the meaning of the name Dio Brando to Steve.
[From the legend of Steve Rogers...]
Sure enough, after hearing the name from Nick Fury's mouth, Steve's face showed astonishment, shock and a complex expression that was difficult to conceal: "How is this possible? I clearly remember that Dio is...dead." In the midst of the explosion in that battle, why..."
"Obviously, the Dio you are talking about did not die. On the contrary, he survived and relied on his vampire ability to survive from World War II to modern times just like you."
"..."
Nick Fury's answer made Steve come out of his shock, but it also made his mood more complicated.
Since waking up, he has been missing the past, feeling that he is incompatible with modern times, and thinking that he is the only existence forgotten by time.
But he didn't expect that his former comrade-in-arms rival Dio would also survive like him.
Thinking of Dio's identity as a vampire and the fact that Peggy was turned into a vampire by the other party, the complicated emotions on Steve's face immediately turned firm.
"Tell me, Nick, Dio's location."
"Although I want to tell you, unfortunately Captain, Dio Brando's actions are quite secretive. The only time he was discovered by us, or he was deliberately exposed, was when he was talking to Agent May. From then on Judging from the conversation and the information revealed by Agent Peggy Carter, Dior's appearance in New York clearly has a great purpose."
"Isn't there any clue left?"
Nick Fury's answer made Steve's frown deepen even further.
"Rather than asking us, I think you, Captain, are the key. After all, you are the one who knows the existence of Dio Brando best than our SHIELD."
Hearing Steve's questioning, Nick Fury turned his face to look at Captain America in front of him and replied meaningfully.
After hearing what Nick Fury said, Steve was silent for a moment before replying: "I need to meet with Agent May."
"no problem."
Nick Fury agreed without hesitation.
Nick Fury is not an indecisive person. He can become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., nor can he be an indecisive person when encountering problems.
Previously, Nick Fury deliberately kept the vampire information secret because of the influence of Dio and Peggy on Steve. At this time, since Steve already knew everything, there was no need to hide it. Instead, figuring out Dio's purpose and rescuing the controlled Agent Page became the primary key.
…
"Is this the rumored Captain America, a member of the Avengers?"
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent team base, Agent Skate looked at Steve not far away, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to the team members on the side.
As a new member of S.H.I.E.L.D., to her and most of the team, the Avengers were a legendary existence that only appeared in reports.
At this moment, the legend was right in front of them, less than a few meters away from them.
"Captain, I heard that you once fought side by side with the Avengers during that New York incident." Looking at Steve not far away, and then turning to look at Agent Phil aside, Skye couldn't help but He asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me what it feels like to fight aliens?"
"I don't know. In fact, like you, I only learned about the specific process of the New York War through the video."
Facing the expectant gazes of the team members, Agent Phil also wanted to tell a little bit about the fierce battle, but there seemed to be no memory related to it in his mind. Because of the "Tahiti Project", his memory was Modified, only staying at the moment when he was injured by Loki and fell into coma.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Agent Phil's answer, Skye had an obviously disappointed expression on his face, but he quickly calmed down. Looking at Captain America who was talking to Agent May in the distance, he continued to ask curiously: "So, Captain, Is the captain’s shield really that powerful and indestructible?”
"Of course, Captain's shield..."
Obviously, Agent Sky's question hit right on Agent Phil, a fan of Captain America, and he immediately answered eloquently.
