Chapter 300 Questioning(1/2)
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The metal arm hit the shield, making a dull impact sound.
The attacker was extremely powerful, but the vibrator shield in Steve's hand perfectly offset the opponent's strength.
Waving his shield, Steve blocked the attacker's heavy blow and suddenly bounced the opponent away with a sudden push.
Only then did Steve see clearly the sneak attacker's appearance.
The sneak attacker's eyes were cold, and he wore a black mask on his face to cover most of his face. There was a bright red five-angle red star on his 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 person's appearance made him feel a little familiar.
“…”
Faced with Steve's questioning, the man waved his metal arm again expressionlessly and was about to step forward.
Bang, bang—
However, just as the bullets flying from afar accurately hit the silver-white metal arm, stirring up some sparks.
Steve is not the only one on the ship.
He stopped, looked at Steve in front of him and then turned his head to scan the direction of the bullets flying. At this time, the situation in front of him was already very clear. Even if he had a metal arm, he had no chance of winning.
Therefore, without any hesitation, the man stopped on Steve's face with a cold look, then turned around and ran out of the ship.
Seeing the man running away, Steve frowned and started the pursuit without hesitation.
The man was extremely fast, even if he was not inferior to Steve, who had already undergone super soldier serum transformation.
Looking at the distance that could not be brought closer, Steve immediately waved the shield in his hand and threw it out fiercely.
Bang!
Under the influence of superhuman power, the vibrator shield cut through the void and flew behind the man in an instant.
However, just as the shield was about to hit, the man who was running suddenly turned around and stretched out his silver-white metal arm to catch the spiraling shield. Then Steve suddenly waved his hand and threw the shield back towards his position again.
He stretched out his hands to catch the flying shield, and the powerful force from the shield made Steve involuntarily retreat several steps.
Looking up again, he only saw the man standing on the edge of the ship, avoiding the shooting of the operation team and jumping down.
"It seems that a lot of things happened to you guys during my absence."
Natasha appeared on the other half of the ship, looked at Steve and the disappearing figure, and raised her eyebrows and said.
"Who is that guy? Captain, is he also a vampire?"
"I don't know." He took his eyes back from the direction of the man's disappearance, and Steve turned to look at Natasha in front of him and shook his head: "But it shouldn't be the case. The opponent's strength and speed are more powerful and speed than the vampire in the battle just now, and there is also a metal arm."
"Metal Arm?"
Hearing Steve's answer, Natasha turned her head and looked in the direction where the man disappeared, her eyes flashing.
...
"vampire?"
SHIELD headquarters, Sanquyi Building.
Nick Fury heard the mission report from Steve, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Not just a vampire, I'll also encounter an attack from a guy with a metal arm in it."
"Metal Arm!"
This time, the expression on Nick Fury's face became more obvious.
"You don't seem to be surprised by the appearance of the vampire?"
Noting that Nick Fury was surprised by the two reports, a look of confusion flashed in Steve's eyes and he keenly noticed the problem.
“Is there any?”
Facing Steve's questions, Nick Fury turned his face habitually and met Steve's gaze.
“…”
After looking at each other silently, Steve suddenly said, "Do you know, Nick, whenever you lie, you like to look in others' eyes and tell me what's going on!"
"I'm not lying." Hearing Steve's expose, Nick Fury replied in a deep voice: "I'm not obliged to tell you the confidential information of SHIELD. Captain, the reason why the information is confidential is because too many people can't know it."
"It seems that you really have something hidden, Nick Fury."
Nick Fury's attitude made Steve more convinced of his judgment.
Nick Fury hid important information from himself.
"I thought we were friends, Nick Fury."
"We are intelligence agencies, captains, do you know that my eyes are so injured?" In the face of Steve's questioning, Nick Fury still answered expressionlessly: "For me, friends are not a very good word. If you have one, you don't know what kind of danger is hidden under the inconspicuous appearance..."
"I don't know what you've experienced in the past, Nick Fury. I just know that your secrets will cause a fatal danger to the execution of the mission." The eyes swept over Nick Fury's blindfold, and Steve also said in a bad tone: "We carry out dangerous missions without knowing it. This time the appearance of the vampire made the hostage rescue operation quite passive. Almost, our mission will fail."
"Believe me, captain, I'm just as surprised as you are about this vampire."
"But you obviously know the information about these vampires better than I do."
After Steve's eyes were silent for a few seconds, Nick Fury then changed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice: "If possible, I would rather not know this information."
Since learning about vampires, Nick Fury has been trying to hide related content, but this mission to rescue the hostages failed his long-term efforts.
"...S.H.I.E.L.D. has been collecting information about vampires. In the past, the news related to it has always happened in Norway. Occasionally, there are news that vampires appear in New York. When S.H.E.L.D. reacted and planned to start an operation, it soon discovered that these news was either false information deliberately created by some people, or it had ended, and no meaningful information was left behind. Until recently, S.H.E.D. learned about a piece of news..."
Speaking of this, Nick Fury subconsciously paused. He moved his only one-eyed one-eyed look at Steve with a deep frown in front of him: "Information of the disappearance of former agent Peggy Carter, one of the founders of SHIELD."
"What did you say?!"
Nick Fury's words made Steve's face, which had been calm all the time, change instantly. He looked at the Director of S.H.E.L.D. in front of him and said excitedly.
"Peggy is missing!"
Looking at Steve who could not hide his excitement in front of him, Nick Fury couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. It was precisely because of the fact that Peggy Carter's existence was too special for Steve that after learning about the other party's disappearance, Nick Fury chose to hide everything.
"Calm down, captain!"
The thoughts in his heart flashed. Looking at Captain America whose emotions were gradually losing control, Nick Fury immediately spoke and comforted her.
“In fact, we have discovered the missing Peggy Carter.”
Nick Fury completely comforted or the words he said after obviously had an effect. After learning that Peggy had not encountered any accidents, Steve's original excitement gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his inner uneasiness, looking at Nick Fury in front of him: "So, how is Peggy's situation? She still..."
"I hope you keep calm enough regardless of the outcome before telling the captain about what happened."
Looking at Steve with a clear expression of worry and expectation on his face in front of him, Nick Fury decided to get a shot first.
Facing Nick Fury's reminder, Steve was silent for a moment before nodding slowly.
Seeing Steve's expression finally regaining his calmness, Nick Fury continued to continue in a deep voice: "In fact, when he learned that Agent Peggy Carter was missing, SHIELD had already started a search. During an unexpected mission, Agent May, a member of the Centipede Group, found the trace of Page Carter, and... encountered Agent Peggy Carter who was transformed into a vampire. From Agent May and Page Carter himself, the person who turned her into a vampire is... Dior Brando."
While revealing the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, Nick Fury looked at Steve in front of him.
From S.H.I.E.D.’s information about World War II, Nick Fury knew very well what the name Dior Brando meant to Steve.
【Legend from Steve Rogers…】
Sure enough, when he heard the name revealed in Nick Fury's mouth, Steve's face showed a complex expression of surprise, shock and unconcealed expression: "How is this possible? I clearly remember that Dior had... died in the explosion of that battle, why...?"
"Obviously, Dior in your mouth was not dead. On the contrary, he survived, relying on his vampire ability, just like you, from World War II to modern times."
“…”
Nick Fury's answer made Steve come out of his shock, but also made his mood a little more complicated.
Since he woke up, he has been missing the past and feels that he is incompatible with the modern world, thinking that he is the only existence forgotten by time.
But unexpectedly, Dior, his former comrade-in-arms opponent, survived like him.
Thinking of Dior's identity as a vampire and the fact that Page was turned into a vampire by the other party, Steve's complex emotions immediately turned firm.
"Tell me, Nick, Dior's location."
"Although I really want to tell you, I'm sorry, Captain Dior Brando's actions are quite secret. The only time we discovered, or he deliberately exposed it, was the time he was talking to Agent May. Judging from that conversation and the information revealed by Agent Peggy Carter, Dior appeared in New York with obvious great purpose."
"Didn't there be any clues left?"
Nick Fury's answer made Steve's originally frowning brow more profound.
"I think you are the key than asking us, Captain, after all, you are the one who knows Dior Brando best compared to our S.H.I.E.L.D.."
Hearing Steve's questioning, Nick Fury turned his face to look at Captain America in front of him and replied meaningfully.
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Steve was silent for a moment before replying: "I need to meet Agent May."
"no problem."
Nick Fury agreed without hesitation.
Nick Fury is not an indecisive person. Being able to become the director of SHIELD cannot be an indecisive existence when it comes to things.
Previously, considering Dior and Page's influence on Steve, Nick Fury deliberately concealed the news of the vampire. At this time, since Steve already knew everything, there was naturally no need to hide it. Instead, it became the primary key to figure out Dior's purpose and rescue the controlled agent Page's agent.
