Chapter 317 Encountering a Crisis

Beep beep, beep beep——

"It seems that reality does not allow us two old guys to continue to miss the past."

After suppressing the look of nostalgia on his face, Alexander lowered his head and glanced at the content displayed on his phone, and then said with a helpless expression.

"You can just be an old guy or something. I don't feel old yet."

His eyes scanned Alexander's mobile phone imperceptibly, and Nick Fury immediately opened his mouth to deny it. .

"Okay, super agent, Nick Fury."

Hearing Nick Fury's answer, Alexander shook his head helplessly, and said with some self-deprecation: "Anyway, I am already old, and it is easy for people to miss the past when they grow old. I am very lucky to be with you. Fight together, Nick."

He raised his only intact one eye and looked silently at Alexander's cloudy eyes. Nick Fury replied equally silently: "Me too."

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Alexander showed a relieved smile and looked down at the message in his hand again.

Alexander: "Well, if anything happens with SHIELD, you know where to find me."

Nick Fury: "Of course."

"Huh~"

Coming out of the SHIELD director's office, Alexander took a deep breath and completely suppressed the smile on his lips.

He picked up his cell phone with a cold expression and ordered without hesitation: "Tell everyone at SHIELD that the plan is activated!"

In the office, Nick Fury silently watched where Alexander left, and pressed the button on the table: "Start the communication encryption program, connection security exposure 0405..."

"Confirm connection!"

"Sir?"

As the encryption program was started, the voice of Agent Hill from the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch immediately sounded in Nick Fury's headphones.

"Agent, I need you to come to headquarters, no..."

Listening to the voice of his most trusted subordinate, Nick Fury frowned and was about to summon the other party to the headquarters, but he subconsciously paused mid-sentence: "I need you to inform Natasha and tell her that the situation is urgent. I'll be over there right away."

"clear."

Although it was unclear what the so-called emergency situation Nick Fury was talking about, in the face of the instructions from the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Hill chose to trust unconditionally.

After ending his brief call with Agent Hill, Nick Fury took the USB flash drive he had received from Natasha and subconsciously scanned the layout of the office. His eyes were immediately attracted by the mobile phone left on the sofa opposite. past.

Sitting on the sofa was Alexander, who had just left the office.

"This is?"

Looking at the mobile phone left on the sofa chair, Nick Fury's doubts just emerged in his eyes. The next second, the screen of the mobile phone opposite flashed a dazzling red light.

boom--

The next moment, violent explosions and fire filled the entire office.

…

"Did you find any clues, Captain?"

Avengers base.

Falcon looked at Captain America Steve in front of him and asked.

"I'm working hard, but this era is too different from my past. Although I have tried hard to adapt, there are still some problems in trying to find Dior's figure among the vast crowds in New York..."

Frowning tightly, Steve shook his head silently when he heard Falcon's question.

Recently, he has been trying hard to pursue clues about vampires, but Dio seems to have never appeared again.

"Perhaps you should relax a little."

Looking at Steve's frown, Falcon couldn't help but persuade him: "Although I know, Captain, that you are eager to find that guy named Dio, but the more you do it, the more you should calm down. Forcing yourself too much will only make you frustrated." You lose your cool."

"I know."

Steve naturally understood what Falcon said.

only,

When thinking about Dio, especially Carter, who was controlled by him, Steve could not hide his inner anxiety.

The long sleep took away too many things around him.

Therefore, he is unwilling to lose the most important memories and people to him.

"But, I can't do it."

"Perhaps, at this time, what you need to do most, captain, is to give yourself some time to calm down."

Sensing the tangled look on Steve's face, Falcon continued his persuasion: "Besides, you are not the only one who can't find the target either."

Following Falcon's words, Steve followed the direction pointed by the other party and immediately saw Ah Xing standing behind him wearing a white Tang suit and cloth shoes with a depressed expression.

Ever since the battle with the 'pacifist' robot in Hell's Kitchen.

Ah Xing came to the Avengers at the suggestion of Ip Man, and used the power of SHIELD to find the reincarnation of the Penglai Immortal.

However, the results are not optimistic either.

Even compared to Steve, Asing has fewer clues about the reincarnation of immortals.

During this period of time, there was almost no progress.

"The reincarnation of Immortal Penglai?"

Just like what Steve said to Nick Fury in the office earlier.

Except for Thor who is far away in Asgard, the members of the Avengers already know the information about the reincarnation of immortals.

But knowing is one thing, accepting it is another.

At least, for Falcon, even if the authenticity of this information has been confirmed from Tony Stark, it still took Falcon a lot of time to truly accept this setting.

The reason why he was able to accept it was because of the previous battle with the [Holy Lord], after accepting the setting of the magic spell. When we come into contact with the mysterious power of the East, although there is a huge gap between the two, there is a precedent after all. Anyway, after the alien invasion war in New York, the world has never been normal again.

Now, if there is another reincarnation of Penglai Immortal, it will just add a little more variables to this unusual world.

"I heard from Natasha that SHIELD has deployed a large number of people to search, but no useful clues have been found."

Listening to Falcon's words, Steve couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Ah Xing not far away.

Looking at the other party's decadent expression, a feeling of sympathy arose in my heart.

Speaking of which, judging from the information revealed before Jin Bin's death, Dio's purpose of coming to New York seems to be closely related to the reincarnation of Penglai Immortal that Ah Xing is looking for.

Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but walked in the direction of Asing.

…

"I'll go up and get something."

Driving his motorcycle and parked in front of an apartment, Steve took off his helmet, then raised his head and extended an invitation to the figure in mid-air.

"Or, you can come and sit at my place."

Controlling his body to fall slowly, facing Captain America's invitation, Axing turned his head and glanced at the location of the apartment, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'd better wait below."

"All right."

Hearing Ah Xing reject his invitation, Steve shrugged without saying anything, picked up his keys and walked to the apartment.

"I'll be right back."

The apartment Steve lives in was not arranged by SHIELD.

Although, after he woke up, SHIELD had prepared a place for him to live, but because he was tired of the eyes in the residence that were called protection but actually monitored, Steve left the arranged residence after a month. Moved out and found a quiet apartment to live in.

boom--

Going up the stairs, before Steve even reached the floor where he lived, he heard the sound of a door being closed.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his neighbor, a nurse working in the intensive care unit, carrying a heavy clothes basket and struggling to close the door.

From the looks of it, it seemed like he was going to do laundry.

Going up and down the stairs, Steve and the other person's eyes met, and they nodded to each other.

Steve noticed his haggard look, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Did something happen?"

"Um?"

Hearing Steve's question, the nurse's face showed obvious confusion.

"I mean, your face doesn't look very good?"

Noticing the other person's expression, Steve immediately asked.

"It's my aunt. She's missing. Our whole family is very worried, so..."

Facing Steve's question, the nurse was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice.

"Feel sorry."

After hearing the nurse's answer, Steve immediately showed an apologetic look, showing that he had realized that his question had touched the other person's sadness.

While apologizing, Steve's eyes glanced at the clothes basket kicked by the nurse, and then he made up for it: "If you don't mind, you can use my washing machine. Anyway, it's easier to use it upstairs than in the basement." Doing laundry needs to be convenient.”

"Thank you, but..."

Facing Steve's invitation, the nurse hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly and refused: "I've already taken a lot, and besides, it's better not to use your washing machine to clean my white coat. After all, I just changed my shift. Coming out of the intensive care unit, so..."

The nurse didn't finish her words, but the rejection was already quite obvious.

After rejecting Steve's invitation, the nurse was about to walk to the basement with the heavy clothes in her hand. Suddenly, she turned back to Steve and said, as if something was ringing: "By the way, you seem to have forgotten your stereo." It was off, and when I came back I heard it going off.”

"Oh, really? Thanks."

After hearing the other party's reminder, Steve nodded and thanked him.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, the expression on his face immediately calmed down.

Looking at the room where loud music was constantly playing, Steve was silent for a moment. Instead of opening the door and going in, he turned around and walked towards the window.

Steve clearly remembered that he didn't listen to any music before going out.

…

Carefully lifting the glass window of the study, Steve jumped into the room. Listening to the retro music that became louder and louder in the room, he frowned slightly, reached out and picked up the shield he kept in the study, and then moved With a completely different dexterity than the strong reminder, he walked towards the living room where the music was playing.

Using the shield as cover, Steve walked slowly and quietly to the living room. Using the angle of the building, he saw the gramophone rotating in the living room and the familiar face on the sofa.

"I don't remember giving you the key."

Seeing the figure on the sofa, Steve's original vigilant expression dropped slightly, but he couldn't help but say something.

"Do you think I need it?"

After struggling to push himself up from the sofa, Nick Fury looked at Steve across from him, twitching the wounds on his face and said, "My wife kicked me out."

"I didn't even know you were married?"

The reason given by Nick Fury made Steve's face speechless.

He didn't expect that the reason why the dignified director of S.H.I.E.L.D. appeared in his room was for such a simple reason.

"There are many things you don't know."

"I'm pretty sure of this, just like the ones before."

Shaking his head and looking at Nick Fury's figure on the sofa, Steve pressed the light switch on the wall: "But, sorry, Nick, there is someone waiting for me down there, so..."

Turning on the desk lamp, the current appearance of Nick Fury revealed in the light made Steve pause in his words.

After all, the way Nick Fury looks now is not as simple as being kicked out of the house, but more like he has suffered a serious attack.

After making a quiet gesture towards Captain America, Nick Fury raised his hand to turn off the desk lamp again, pressed the wound on his body in the dark, and used his mobile phone to convey: "Be careful of eavesdropping."

Using the special protective equipment in the office, Nick Fury avoided the first wave of the explosion, but he also encountered fierce resistance during his subsequent escape, and almost died at the hands of these targets.

"I'm sorry I came uninvited, but I really don't have anywhere to go."

While using his voice to cover up, Nick Fury's fingers were typing rapidly on the screen of his phone.

"There's a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D."

"!!!"

There wasn't much input on the screen in Nick Fury's hand, but what it displayed made the expression on Steve's face suddenly change.

Nick Fury's appearance surprised him, but he never expected that the reason for the other party's crisis actually came from S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Who else knows about your wife?"

Reluctantly suppressing the surprise on his face, Steve tried to maintain his calm appearance and asked.

"Just some of my friends, they know this..."

Hearing Steve's inquiry, Nick Fury covered his wounds, tried to get up and walked towards the other person's location, while reaching out to take something out of his pocket.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the apartment window, which made Nick Fury's movements pause.
