Chapter 476 The irresistible taste

When the call ended, the captain had a smile on his face.

Colonel Conrad's eyes flashed with curiosity. He knew that this curiosity might kill him, but he still couldn't help but ask:

"Can I ask what you just said?"

With a frivolous brow, he looked at Conrad in front of him. A hint of amusement flashed in the captain's eyes:

"You want to know?"

With a hesitant look on his face, Conrad opened his mouth several times, but finally shook his head in frustration: "Well... let's forget it."

To be honest, many people can't control their curiosity.

There is nothing we can do about it, after all, this is a human being, not a machine.

It's like you really want to see the latest work of teacher Eimi Fukada.

But please imagine the wasted paper towels and the pile of unfinished manuscripts after reading it. Do you feel less curious in an instant?

Therefore, curiosity is not a reason for making mistakes at all. The real reason for you to make mistakes is because you are willing to bear the consequences of making mistakes. For example, after reading the teacher’s work, you code until : in the night, or even want to go fishing the next day. A fish.

Conrad was curious about what the captain and General Ross said, but he knew better that this kind of thing was not something he, a colonel, could inquire about.

Even though he is an extraordinary colonel, a great colonel is still just a colonel.

Looking at Conrad's figure about to leave, the captain stopped him: "Wait a minute, find a time to tell your men that drinking will not be allowed from tomorrow on."

Conrad frowned: "Captain, this is against the rules. Besides, you..."

But before Conrad could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the captain. He looked at the colonel in front of him calmly: "I know you want to say that I am not qualified. But I want to say that the moment you gave me the phone , the qualification has been handed over to me.”

Conrad was stunned for a moment. At first there was something strange in his eyes, but after a moment of thinking?

His eyes gradually became filled with incomprehensible thoughts:

"So, why me?"

Although he only listened to half of the conversation between the captain and General Ross. But he understood what the captain meant - the captain wanted to continue to be in charge of the army, instead of taking the military power away from him.

This made Conrad not understand, because he knew that even after the call ended, the two sides were no longer as incompatible as they were at the beginning, but he still represented the United States.

Moreover, he thought the captain should understand that since the United States left him on Skull Island, it meant that Conrad was absolutely assured.

so why?

Conrad doesn't think that a phone call can restore the relationship between the United States and the captain, and he also doesn't think that a phone call can stop the United States from targeting the captain.

Therefore, taking advantage of this time to gather the power of Skull Island and increase the bargaining chip in his hand is what the captain should think about most.

Conrad's curiosity before was, in a sense, not really curiosity, but testing the captain's thoughts.

But faced with Colonel Conrad's confusion, the captain shook his head and gave a lame excuse that perhaps he didn't even believe:

"Because you are more of a soldier than them. I have observed that you are the only one in the entire base who has not drank."

Frowning, a strange look flashed in the colonel's eyes: "Maybe it's because I'm allergic to alcohol?"

But the captain ignored it. He patted Conrad on the shoulder: "Maybe. Anyway, from tomorrow on, no drinking is allowed."

Their eyes met, looking at the captain in front of them.

Conrad hesitated for a long time, finally gave a military salute, and then left without looking back.

And the moment when he watched Colonel Conrad salute him as a military salute?

I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a smile on the captain's face.

Why would General Ross believe his own lies? Why is Fury willing to cooperate with him in acting?

The reason is simple. America believes that it will not cooperate with SHIELD because the relationship between the two parties has completely broken down. Fury will not let go of the captain who is causing trouble in SHIELD.

After all, he has trained many minions in the past two years.

If Captain is not dead, he is likely to become the next Red Skull in the future. SHIELD will never allow Captain to make a comeback, especially after the Hydra incident, Fury is very sensitive to this kind of thing.

Even if he kills the captain, Fury may not be relieved, let alone the captain is not dead yet.

Therefore, from the perspective of the United States, there is no room for relaxation between the two sides.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Although Fury didn't understand why the captain did this, for the greater good, he had no choice but to cooperate with the captain in acting. After all, the future matters would be discussed later, and the immediate interests were the most important.

You know, the internal friction in the past two years has made SHIELD urgently need to replenish its blood.

This is a gap in information. Although America knows that SHIELD has been injured in the past two years, they do not know how serious the injury is. But Captain is different. He knows very well what America needs now and what SHIELD needs now.

To sum up, this means that only Captain can do this whole thing, because he meets the requirements: breaking with SHIELD and having some of his own power in SHIELD. And the urgent hope to have a next backer and not betray these two conditions of the United States.

As for what the captain thinks?

Only he knows.

As for Conrad?

The captain can indeed neutralize the opponent, and can even form a force of his own in this five thousand-person team, thereby increasing the bargaining chip in his hand, but this takes a long time.

Moreover, I don’t know why, although the relationship between the two parties was very ordinary before, the captain did not hate Conrad. Perhaps it was because in the other party, the captain saw the shadow of his own past, such as the stubbornness that seemed a bit silly to others. and loyalty.

However, the Winter Soldier next to the captain looked at the smile across the corner of the captain's mouth and didn't know what he was thinking. Bucky suddenly asked:

"Will you kill him?"

There was a flash of hesitation in the captain's eyes, and the Winter Soldier who noticed this had a smile in his eyes.

But the next moment?

The captain shook his head indifferently: "Why not?"

Frowning subconsciously, the Winter Soldier looked puzzled: "But he admires you very much, and don't you feel that he is very similar to you in some qualities?"

But the captain turned to look at the Winter Soldier coldly:

"So what? I'm tired. I used to live only for others, but now I want to live for myself."

Bucky sneered and looked at the unfamiliar captain in front of him. Bucky sighed: "Including me?"

Frowning, the captain emphasized: "You are different."

It's different, but it also includes myself. The Winter Soldier understood what the captain meant, but he didn't want to say anything. After all, if it weren't for the captain, he would be a dead man.

Three days later, deep in the ancient forest, with a rapid breathing, a knife-backed jackal opened its mouth to bite the elk's throat.

The yellow-white claws struggled to cut through the elk's tough fur.

Because there are no other similar species around, it is not difficult to judge that this is a lone wolf, even judging from the opponent's bones that are stronger than the average knife-spine jackal?

This is most likely the previous generation of Wolf King.

The life of a lone wolf is very bad. Without the protection of the race, coupled with the decline in physical functions due to aging, the former wolf king became embarrassed and even had to start worrying about food.

Three weeks, three whole weeks without eating!

The shriveled belly and muscles atrophied by hunger make it increasingly difficult for the lone wolf to survive in this forest.

But in order to survive, it has to try again and again, just like a red-eyed gambler.

Fortunately, he succeeded this time, and the 1800-2100-pound elk was enough to keep him from having to worry about food for the next two weeks.

But just when the lone wolf opened the elk's belly and prepared to feast.

There was a roar from the trees not far away.

"Woooooo~"

With green hungry eyes and a ferocious grin, the lone wolf's eyes flashed with a fierce light. It was very hungry, so hungry that it would fight any animal on Skull Island for the food in front of it.

For other predators, this is just a prey, but for this old knife-backed jackal, it is the hope of survival.

However, with a roar, the ancient tree hugged by several people was overturned. Under the terrifying force, leaves mixed with sawdust flew all over the sky.

A huge monster appeared in front of the lone wolf.

The huge body, strong arms, and sharp claws cut grooves on the ground, and the hard white bone plate wrapping the head is like a crown, telling all the life on Skull Island.

They are the real owners of this island!

Not to mention that the opponent is the most terrifying species on Skull Island. Judging purely from the size, the skeleton reptile in front of you is much more powerful than the knife-spine jackal.

Under the instinct of survival, the threatening growl turned into a whimper for mercy.

What the Blade-Spine Jackal didn't understand was that at the moment he saw himself growling, there was a powerful skeleton reptile in front of him, representing one of the strongest creatures on Skull Island.

The opponent's first reaction when faced with his provocation was not to attack, but rather like a frightened bird, with an expression full of vigilance and vigilance.

Moreover, in the face of his own provocation, the skeleton reptile had no intention of pursuing him, and turned around to leave without even looking at him.

And just when the knife-backed jackal was glad that he had escaped a disaster, an extremely strange scene occurred that he would never forget.

The space in front of him rippled like a lake, and then a creature that was different in size from the skeleton reptile, but taller and stronger, walked out of the space.

A claw that looks a little short, even funny, presses on the white crown of the skeleton reptile.

Then there was a "bang~" sound, without any defensive effect, and the skull reptile's faceplate was crushed.

Then there was a loud "rumbling" sound. The skeleton reptile, who was invincible in his eyes and as powerful as a god, was killed like this. It was easier than killing the previous generation of wolf kings when he was at his peak.

The sharp claws cut open the skeleton reptile's abdomen, took out the semi-crystallized heart from inside, and Nagini took a half-bite.

After a while of chewing, the remaining half of the heart was thrown to the ground like garbage. In the confused eyes of the knife-spine jackal, this strange creature said something he couldn't understand:

"Energy heart? It has a regular taste, but it's just a taste. Is it because the level is too low? Maybe I should go find that big octopus?"

After saying these words, the terrible creature disappeared, leaving only a knife-backed jackal, two corpses, and half a bitten heart. At this moment, it was exuding the irresistible smell of the knife-backed jackal...
