Chapter 320 Final Recognition
The situation of the battle changes rapidly.
Therefore, even if Steve had a strange feeling in his heart.
The strength in his hand still showed no intention of holding back.
With punches and kicks, his power as a super soldier injector is clearly demonstrated.
when! when! ! when! ! !
The vibranium shield and the metal arm collided continuously, splashing out a large number of sparks.
Steve leaned on the shield with one hand, a solemn expression on his face.
Opposite him, the Winter Soldier had a cold expression. Even at the hottest moment of the battle, he always maintained his cold attitude.
In order to prevent the Winter Soldier from betraying him, Hydra has been brainwashing him for many years. Several brainwashings have almost destroyed his personality, turning him into a killing machine that only knows missions and combat.
"Judging from the current situation, it is basically certain."
After shooting the bullets in his hand, Nick Fury threw aside the useless pistol in his hand. Looking at the Winter Soldier who was fighting fiercely with Steve, his one eye narrowed subconsciously: "The attack in front of me should be the work of Hydra." .”
The entanglement between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra can be traced back almost to the beginning of World War II.
The predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Homeland Security Defense Department, was originally created to deal with the French Science Department, or Steve's old rival, Hydra led by the Red Skull. Afterwards, although Germany was defeated, Hydra did not die because of this.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also began its long history of struggle with Hydra, in which there were victories and defeats for both sides.
Therefore, Nick Fury's brainwashing method is quite familiar. When he saw the appearance of the Winter Soldier clearly, he could almost confirm that it was Hydra's standard brainwashing control method.
However, even Nick Fury would never have expected that Hydra's penetration was beyond his imagination.
Most of SHIELD's joints have been infiltrated by HYDRA.
At this time, the worst scenario he could foresee was that his former comrades and old friends, Alexander, betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D. and took control of some people in the organization.
This alone is actually a huge blow to SHIELD. After all, Alexander was the former director of SHIELD and the minister responsible for the current communication between SHIELD and the Security Council.
The betrayal of such a key figure can be regarded as a traumatic situation for SHIELD.
Nick Fury never imagined that the reality would be many times worse than he expected.
Bang!
Waving the silver-white metal arm, a low roar sounded, and along with the shattered ground, the Winter Soldier's arm sank into the ground.
Steve seized the opportunity, raised his leg and struck the opponent's head suddenly.
Feeling Steve's sharp blow, the Winter Soldier's eyes were cold, but his body had already instinctively avoided it and bent back.
Snapped
As the Winter Soldier bent over, Steve's kick originally aimed at the opponent's head suddenly lost its target, and ended up just grazing the mask on his face.
clang
Although it didn't hit the target, Steve's attack still had some effect.
Under his blow, the mask originally wrapped around the Winter Soldier's face loosened, and fell directly from his body as he turned over.
At the same time, a face that was definitely familiar to Steve was finally revealed under the mask.
"Bucky?!"
Seeing the familiar face in his memory under the Winter Soldier's mask, the expression on Steve's face suddenly changed, the attack on his hands paused, and he blurted out subconsciously.
""
Hearing the name from Steve's mouth, Winter Soldier, no, there was a trace of undetectable fluctuation in Bucky's originally indifferent eyes.
But then he quickly restrained himself, grabbed Steve's clone, and went forward to kill without hesitation.
"Bucky Barnes?"
As the director of SHIELD, Nick Fury naturally knows what the name Bucky means to Captain America.
He looked at Bucky, who was fighting with Steve in front of him with a cold expression, and the expression on his face also showed a bit of shock: "But how is this possible? It's not in the information."
He muttered something to himself, but Nick Fury quickly reacted.
His eyes glanced at Ah Xing, who was completely suppressed by the vampire. He covered the wounds on his body and whispered: "No, I thought wrong. There are many ways to survive in this world, whether you are a vampire or a vampire." The immortals in Penglai have all proven this."
Here, Nick Fury reflects on being limited by his fixed mindset.
On the other side, Steve's situation was not as optimistic as expected.
Although, before the identity of the Winter Soldier was revealed, he had been relying on the powerful strength given by the Super Soldier Serum and the shield in his hand to suppress the opponent.
However, as the mask falls off, the Winter Soldier is revealed to be Bucky.
Even though he knew that the opponent at this moment was his opponent, and might not even be Bucky, the strength in Steve's hands involuntarily decreased a bit, and his originally sharp movements began to become timid.
Of course he knew that doing so would undoubtedly put himself in danger.
However, every time Steve thought about fighting back, seeing the familiar face in front of him, the strength in his hands would always weaken a little unconsciously.
Here, Steve couldn't be cruel because of his fluctuating emotions, but Bucky on the other side obviously had no such scruples.
It can be seen that Hydra's brainwashing was very successful. Even if Steve called his name, it still could not awaken any memory of him.
Seizing the opportunity, Bucky stepped forward and waved his modified metal arm, landing all the vicious attacks on Steve.
"team leader."
Noticing that Steve's situation was gradually becoming critical, Nick Fury immediately said: "I know the reason why you behave like this, but you should know that the person in front of you is Bucky Barnes. At this time, he , is no longer the comrade in your memory. If you want to know the truth, blindly avoiding him is not a good idea."
"Of course I know that."
Although Nick Fury's words were ruthless, they obviously had some effect.
Hearing the reminder from the Director of SHIELD, Steve looked through the shield in his hand at Bucky's familiar but unfamiliar indifferent face opposite him.
The hesitant expression on his face finally turned into a determined expression. Indeed, just as Nick Fury said, his concession at this moment would not help solve the problem, but would instead put himself in crisis.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Steve stopped holding back during the battle.
Holding up the vibranium shield in his hand to block Bucky's attack, Captain America suddenly exerted force, using both hands to use the shield as a charging hammer, and rushed straight towards Bucky in front of him.
Rumble
With Superman's strength and the properties of vibranium, Bucky's whole body was suddenly hit behind him like an arrow from the string, hitting the wall behind him hard and creating a huge hole.
Ahem
Such a heavy impact was not comfortable even for Bucky, whose body had also been modified and strengthened by Hydra.
He clutched his chest, and bright red blood came out of his mouth.
Seeing Bucky's situation, Steve couldn't help but have a flash of hesitation in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a determined look and whispered.
"Bucky, no matter what happened to you, I will make you return to normal."
"What Bucky."
Faced with Steve's persuasion, the Winter Soldier, who had been silent, finally spoke. He said in a hoarse voice indifferently: "What are you talking about, or are you trying to interfere with me in this way."
As he spoke, he supported his body and stood up again: "If you have such an idea, then you are too stupid, Captain America!"
Like these brainwashed vampires, the Winter Soldier doesn't care at all about his body. No matter how seriously injured he is, as long as he can kill the target and complete the mission, this is the purpose of his existence.
After saying that, without any hesitation, Bucky dragged his injured body and launched another fierce attack on Steve in front of him.
Bang, bang
Using the shield in his hand to block Bucky's fist, the Winter Soldier's words undoubtedly made Steve more aware of Bucky's situation at this time.
Relying on Superman's body to forcefully take several of Bucky's attacks, Steve grasped the Winter Soldier's metal arm at the moment he pulled away, and then the arm holding the vibranium shield suddenly exerted force and hit him hard. He cut off the metal arm at the wrist, apparently intending to use his own strength to cut off the mechanical arm on Bucky's body.
"ah"
The strong vibranium shield fell on Bucky's metal arm. A huge shock was connected to the joint of the broken arm. Bright red blood seeped out from the joint. Such a violent shock made his heart become stone even after countless brainwashings. The heartless Bucky couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Bucky."
The moment he heard the Winter Soldier's scream, Steve couldn't help but pause in his fierce attack.
Even though he had made up his mind, Steve still couldn't turn a blind eye to the screams of his friend who had returned from the dead.
However, Steve apparently forgot that the battlefield is not a place where he can hesitate.
Feeling the loosening of strength in his hand, Bucky suddenly turned the metal arm and broke free from Steve's grasp with a low roar. Then he turned his arm again and clasped it on Captain America's neck in an unimaginable twist. . Even though there is no difference in appearance from a normal arm, it is still a mechanical arm and cannot be treated with common sense.
The moment he grabbed Steve's neck, the five fingers on the metal arm suddenly increased in strength.
Under the huge force, even Steve, whose physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, felt a sense of suffocation.
Although he has acquired a superhuman physique due to the transformation of the Super Soldier Serum, he is still human and has not yet been strengthened to the point where he can ignore breathing.
Therefore, normal human weaknesses are still effective in Steve.
Facing the huge force coming from his neck, Steve instinctively reached out to grab the metal arm on his neck. However, at this time, the advantages of this mechanical arm were revealed. Unless the arm is destroyed and cut off, a simple attack will not stop the increasing power coming from the metal arm.
If so, change the venue.
Steve, who was captured by Bucky, might have died in such a miserable way at the hands of the Winter Soldier.
However, there is a difference in the situation at hand. In addition to the injured Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, there is also Axing in the apartment.
Under the current situation, it was naturally impossible for Asing to watch Steve die like this.
"team leader!"
Therefore, he swept away the surrounding vampires with one move of Tathagata Palm. Seeing Steve's critical situation, Ah Xing raised his palm and smacked forward without hesitation.
The next moment, a palm print composed of golden Buddha light fell on Bucky opposite him.
The metal arm, which had not been loosened at all under Steve's struggle and attack, suddenly made a harsh twisting sound under Ah Xing's Tathagata palm, and was shaken away in the next second. Not only the entire arm The person also crashed into the wall beside him under this huge force.
"Take another move from me!"
Looking at Bucky who was beaten into the rubble of the wall, Azing didn't seem to hesitate, nor did Steve hesitate. He took steps forward and the Buddha's light in his hands gathered again, as if he was pursuing victory and eradicating the roots.
"No Axing!"
Seeing his appearance, Steve, who was holding his neck, spoke quickly and stopped him regardless of his injuries.
As Steve blocked him, Bucky struggled to get up and turned around to escape without hesitation.
"team leader?"
Azing naturally knew the reason why Steve stopped him, but on the surface, he still made a puzzled expression. He couldn't help but wonder when he looked at Bucky's disappearing back.
"You have to think clearly. The other party was just about to kill you."
"I know."
Hearing Ah Xing's words, Steve touched his neck with the red mark and silently replied: "But, he was also a comrade who fought alongside me and was also my best friend."
"Comrade? Friend?"
Hearing Steve's answer, A Xing's face showed a timely look of confusion.
"What on earth is going on, Captain?"
"In fact, I also want to understand all this, why Bucky does this"
"Although the reason is not yet clear, I am certain that all of this has something to do with Hydra." Looking at Steve who looked silent, Nick Fury covered his wounds and continued.
"And Dio."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Steve took a deep breath, feeling the pain coming from his neck with every breath, and glanced at the fallen vampires around him, and said silently.
