Chapter 464 [Skull Island: Top Secret]

Two days later, SHIELD headquarters - Trident Building.

Fury, who was in the director's office, was humming a tune while reviewing the documents in front of him.

If it was before?

Well, he will probably be very irritated, because most of the documents sent are either wiping the butts of various countries, or allowing his agents to perform extremely dangerous tasks.

For example, capturing mutants, solving super criminals, or attacking aliens smuggling across the earth.

Shet, you actually want me to use my men’s lives to solve this kind of problem that only a superhero can solve?

Every time he saw these documents, Fury couldn't help but want to curse.

There is no way, Nagini is dead, Iron Man no longer pays attention to the internal affairs of the Avengers, and the group of superheroes headed by Captain simply do not obey the orders of Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But because the Avengers are nominally a subordinate department of SHIELD, even if Fury wants to refuse, there is nothing he can do.

Besides, there is no point in refusing.

Just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, the top leaders of various countries are looking for trouble for SHIELD. After all, the SHIELD that took Nagini's car many years ago is completely different from the SHIELD back then. different.

You know, at its peak, two years ago, S.H.I.E.L.D., in addition to its hundreds of thousands of agents, included more than 40% of the world's superheroes and 15% of its super criminals.

This is not only because SHIELD is powerful, but also because everyone needs the big tree of Nagini.

And with Nagini's death, the senior leaders of various countries looked at SHIELD with increasingly distasteful eyes, and they all tried their best to think of ways to weaken SHIELD's power.

It's like Kaijumon. Do you really think it's the work of a superhero?

No, beneath the glamorous appearance of a superhero, there are piles of flesh and blood of countless agents.

There is no honor, no reward, but you have to do the hardest and most tiring work.

This is the true portrayal of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the two years since Nagini disappeared, worse than a stepmother.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Fury still held some trump cards and the other party didn't dare to openly betray him, perhaps SHIELD in two years' time would have changed from the huge force second only to the five major powers back then. Reduced into a subordinate department of the United States.

(PS: In the normal timeline, SHIELD closed after the Civil War, and all branches except the United States were closed. Although it was still nominally affiliated with the United Nations, it was actually controlled by the United States.)

But even so, Fury didn't know how long he could hold on.

Until Nagini came back, although Nagini, who had disappeared for two years, did not express his position, this did give Fury the confidence, after a bloody purge.

Although the strength has been seriously damaged, such as the superheroes who originally belonged to Captain's lineage were eliminated, the S.H.I.E.L.D. at this moment is completely new.

Looking at the task in front of us, led by the American government, to help Colonel Stryker capture mutants, what if it was before?

Although reluctant, Fury could only agree.

Because he knew that even if he disagreed, it would be useless. The Avengers led by Captain would definitely kneel down and lick the United States crazily.

but now?

Putting down the iced coffee in his hand, Fury wrote rejection on the document without hesitation and added his name.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door, and Fury closed the document:

"The door is unlocked, come in."

There was a "click" sound as the door opened. Although the captain was neatly dressed, he felt inexplicably decadent. He opened the door and walked in. Looking at Fury who was working not far away, a trace of ridicule appeared in the captain's eyes:

"Are you looking for me?"

Fury had a bit of pride on his face. Although this kind of pride was very dazzling in the captain's eyes, he believed that if Nagini had not appeared, he would have been even worse.

From the drawer next to the table, Fury took out a document that read [Skull Island; Top Secret], and pushed it in front of the captain: "I have a mission here."

The captain did not take over. He shook his head, looking a little tired and resistant:

"I'm tired."

Facing the captain's rejection, Fury was not surprised. After all, he had given the captain a hard blow not long ago, so it was normal for him to be perfunctory, but he didn't care about these problems:

"Bucky, nicknamed the "Winter Soldier," is suspected of 12 first-degree crimes including murder, treason, and terrorist attacks."

But in response to Fury's threat, the captain suddenly sneered and looked at the other party playfully:

"So? Do you really think I haven't done anything in the past two years? If you want to capture Bucky, go ahead and capture him. I am no longer a superhero. The car and house given to me by SHIELD have all been taken back. , I don’t need to continue performing the mission, let alone perform the mission for you.”

However, Fury shook his head and looked at the captain in front of him with a playful expression:

"But those people out there, they don't know that."

The captain was stunned and subconsciously frowned:

"What do you mean?"

Fury smiled, with a cold look in his eyes, just like the villain in the movie, and a disturbingly cold voice: "Think about it, how many people have you offended in the past two years, if those people knew that you no longer A superhero?"

He is very aware of the captain's little moves in the past two years.

Of course, the captain also knew that if there was a chance, Fury would never let him go. After all, when SHIELD was at its most dangerous, he was the one who stabbed him the most.

Without Nagini's appearance, even if Captain and SHIELD completely fall out one day in the future, Fury may not be able to make Captain pay the price.

But the problem is, Nagini shows up.

Fury is a ruthless person. He could have released the news that Captain was kicked out of the Avengers, but he didn't because he wanted to squeeze out the last value of Captain.

Just like SHIELD now has hundreds of thousands of agents, why does Fury have to let Coulson go to Skull Island?

Because he knows that for the sake of Captain, Coulson will work hard to explore the value of Skull Island, because Captain is his idol and his motivation to insist on becoming an agent.

Even the current captain has undergone earth-shaking changes from the captain in his heart.

Sure enough, Coulson discovered the abyssal chapter of the juvenile body.

Looking at the sudden change in the captain's face, Fury took out a red document from the drawer:

"If you refuse, please help me give this document to Shirley, and she will announce to the public that you and the Winter Soldier are no longer members of the Avengers."

His eyes flickered with thought, but in the end?

The captain took a deep breath, picked up the document that Fury had given him in the first place, looked at the guy with a fake smile in front of him, and said word by word:

"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

Facing a threat?

Fury smiled, his expression very calm: "Don't worry, as long as you can complete this task, the matter between us will be cancelled."

Skull Island is not a nice place, it is extremely dangerous.

And the captain knows very well that he cannot just find a simple task for him, so he must go all out, because failure means death.

But if it really succeeds, a third-stage Abyss Chapter will definitely be a huge asset to SHIELD.

Moreover, it was a third-stage monster, and even if it was a minor, it was not something that the captain could easily deal with.

Even if he was lucky enough to solve the Abyss Chapter, and SHIELD didn't intend to continue pursuing it, the problem was that because of his actions in the past two years, there were many people who wanted to kill the captain.

So whether it succeeds or fails, the captain is finished. The only difference is that a successful captain can bring an extra benefit to Fury.

And the best part is, the captain can't say no yet.

Because Fury gave him hope, even if it was only a little bit, but this is the weakness of human nature!

Leaving the director's office, the captain's face looked ugly. It's not that he didn't understand Fury's insidiousness, but the problem was that he couldn't refuse, because refusing would be death. Even if the other party was lying to him, he had to believe that the other party was not lying to him. After all, he Don't want to die.

However, just as the captain was about to leave SHIELD, the footsteps behind him made him stop involuntarily.

Looking at the panting Coulson, a look of confusion appeared on the captain's face:

"Colson, you?"

Looking at his former idol, Coulson had a very complicated expression. But in the end, he took out a yellow leather document bag and handed it over: "Captain, this is the detailed information about Skull Island that I compiled. You can take a look, it should be helpful to you."

After receiving the information handed over by Coulson, although he didn't look through it, he could tell after pinching it that it was thicker than the information given by SHIELD. This made the captain's face look a little weird:

"Coulson, are you sure Fury won't cause trouble for you?"

As the captain finished speaking, Colson gave a helpless smile. He shook his head and pointed to the corner not far away:

"Do you think he doesn't know? When I got off work yesterday, the director asked me to write a -word review."

What makes people curious is that there is not much surprise on the captain's face, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. In the end, he sighed: "Well, thank you."

After saying that, he patted Colson on the shoulder and left without looking back, leaving Colson with a wry smile and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:

"Take care and don't make any mistakes, Captain!"
