Chapter 1884 - Ch: 224-235

Chapter 224, Venom evolves again

This dinner didn't end until late at night. Normally, these people couldn't meet each other often due to their status, so they always had a lot to say on such occasions.

Holm didn't have that many partners to communicate with, so he left here after communicating with Pierce.

The night was getting dark at this time, and Holm's car was speeding through the street like a black sword.

On the main driver's side, Venom was using his tentacles to control the steering wheel and accelerator clutch, while laughing strangely, feeling the speed and passion.

"Yo ho! That's it! Gah gah gah gah!" Venom said as he pressed the accelerator to the bottom with his tentacles.

At Venom's request, Holm sat in the passenger seat today and handed over the driving rights of the vehicle to Venom.

"Slow down, don't go too fast. Although there is no one at night, you should take care of my car at least."

"This is just an ordinary scooter, not a racing car. It's already burning its lifespan like this." Holm said helplessly as he looked at the excited Venom.

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, if it breaks down, you can still apply for funds to repair it, or buy a new one." Venom said nonchalantly.

"You just said it was damaged normally during the mission. It's not like you haven't done anything before."

Over such a long period of time, Venom has also learned from Holm and Daisy how to file accounts and apply for funds.

Listening to Venom's response, Holm curled his lips and said with black lines on his head: "What have you learned from Daisy?"

"It is indeed normal to be damaged during a mission, but there must be a mission. What mission are we performing in the middle of the night?"

"Should we tell SHIELD that we just attended Hydra's secret gathering?"

Listening to Holm's complaints, Venom sighed angrily and slowed down unwillingly.

As the speed slowed down, this ordinary scooter finally stopped buzzing and vibrating like before. Just now, Holm felt that the entire car was about to fall apart, and the engine was almost on the verge of exploding.

"It's not satisfying at all. Hurry up and earn money to buy a good car." Venom said, smacking his lips.

Upon hearing its words, Holm's eyes darkened and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Now you think my car is bad. Why don't you say anything when you eat expensive chocolates every day and eat so many delicious foods?"

"If your appetite were even half as big, this car would have been replaced countless times."

While Holm was talking, the car that had been driving smoothly just now suddenly started spinning and rushed towards the fence next to it.

Holm looked back and saw that Venom, which was still controlling the car, had shrunk into a big black ball on the driver's side, and the surface was still surging.

".evolution"

".give me some time."

The message left by Venom came intermittently from the big black ball, and then it squirmed and quickly retracted into Holm's body along the connection between the two of them.

At this time, Holm immediately reached out and grasped the out-of-control steering wheel. While adjusting the direction of the vehicle back to the road, he stepped from the passenger seat to the driver's seat to stabilize the car.

As the vehicle stabilized, Holm also slowly parked the car to the side of the road, and then thought about the sudden change that had just occurred.

After the big black ball retracted into his body, Holm began to try to contact Venom, but at this time Venom seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and had no response to his call.

Thinking of the last bit of information left by Venom just now, Holm also guessed that Venom had once again encountered an opportunity to evolve and had already begun to evolve.

And this evolution is different from last time. Last time Venom did not fall into a deep sleep, but this time it suddenly began to fall asleep. This is why Venom told Holm that it needed some time.

Thinking of this, Holm also stretched out his hands, trying to transform his hands into sharp blades as usual, but because the venom had already condensed into a big ball and fell asleep, his hands did not change.

"It seems that while Venom is sleeping, my combat power will be affected a bit."

"I don't know how long it will take to wake up. Fortunately, there haven't been any troublesome guys to deal with recently."

While thinking about it, Holm put down his hands and continued to drive towards home.

Venom's sudden slumber did surprise him, but so far it didn't have much impact on his plans and daily life.

As long as Venom wakes up, he will definitely be stronger than before after evolving again. In contrast, Holm's strength will also rise again.

A few days have passed since the Hydra party. In the past few days, Holm and Daisy have been investigating the disappearance of John Garriott at the request of Nick Fury, but there has been no progress.

Of course, Holm knew what he had done, not to mention the subsequent washing and cleaning up by Hydra, so even though he had dug three feet into the ground and launched a carpet-like search of John Garriott's villa, Still no useful information at all.

Today was the time for them to report on their actions and findings over the past few days. The two of them were flying from the base to the space carrier in a Quinjet.

In the driver's seat, after setting the destination, Daisy handed the plane over to autopilot. She ran to Holm's seat at the back, straddled him, and buried her head on his chest.

"There has been no progress in the investigation in the past few days. Uncle Fury will be embarrassed again soon." Daisy leaned on Holm's chest and said softly with her mouth pouting.

After hearing this, Holm also touched her head and comforted her softly: "Don't worry too much. It's normal for there to be no progress. The director himself also knows that this matter is not that simple, otherwise he wouldn't leave it to us. And the level of confidentiality is so high."

"This matter itself cannot be solved in three or two days, otherwise the director would not be worried about it."

While Holm was talking, he noticed that Daisy's hand was slowly moving down somewhat irregularly.

After noticing Holm's gaze, Daisy also raised her head, blinked her big eyes and looked at Holm and smiled: "Hey, today the space carrier is parked on the sea, and I set the speed of the plane to the slowest , it will take about half an hour."

"It seems we haven't tried it on a plane yet. Don't you want to try it?"

As Daisy spoke, she stretched out her red little tongue and licked her lips, her eyes and posture showing allure.

Holm has always been a person who dares to try new things, so in the next half hour, the two of them have unlocked the unfamiliar map of Quinjet together, leaving their traces everywhere.

Chapter 225, Captain America returns, the remnants of the old era

On the streets of Manhattan, the weather is still sunny today.

Steve Rogers was sitting outside a coffee shop, staring at the clear sky in a daze. He had just woken up from a deep sleep for two days, and he still felt a little dazed from time to time.

He was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned plaid shirt, and a brown jacket was still on the chair next to him.

Although his dress is very old-fashioned, with his handsome appearance and strong figure, his old-fashioned look does not look too dazzling. Instead, it makes people wonder whether he is wearing something retro on purpose.

Steve Rogers just stared at the sky in a daze. Although he acted a little strange, there were still young girls coming up to talk to him, asking for his phone number or other contact information.

"Sorry, I don't have a phone number, and I don't have the software you mentioned. To be honest, I don't have a mobile phone yet." Steve said sincerely and seriously.

Faced with such an answer, the young girl looked in disbelief at first, and then felt that she was being played. She glared at him angrily and left with a dark face, muttering something in her mouth. It doesn't sound like a nice thing to say.

Seeing this situation again, Steve scratched his head in embarrassment.

This was already the third time. Every time he finished explaining his reasons, the girls who wanted to contact him felt like they were being tricked. Some even looked around to see if anyone was filming nearby, leaving him confused. .

"If telling the truth hurts, maybe I should tell a white lie."

"But what should I say?" Steve took a sip of coffee, thought for a moment and shook his head.

As an old antique who had just woken up from a deep sleep, he was so out of touch with this era that he didn't even know how to tell a reasonable lie.

Maybe he shouldn't have woken up at all and had been sleeping in the ice and snow, just like everyone thought, dying like a legend.

Instead of waking up like now, in an era where he is not needed and does not belong to him.

His legendary story has come to an end, and that glorious, war-torn era has also ended. Captain America has become a thing of the past. He is like a concentrated remnant soul of that era, floating here, wandering with nowhere to settle.

This familiar city is no longer what he used to be. Although some similar traces can still be seen in the layout, it has generally changed into a completely different look.

For example, the street corner not far to his right, in his memory, used to be a leather shoe factory.

At that time, he would pass by there every day. The road there was full of potholes and there were always many dirty puddles.

Every time he came over, he would go around to the back alley to see if there were any scrapped leather shoes that could be repaired. He had no extra money to buy a new pair of leather shoes, so he could only use this method to support his family.

Time flies, and now the leather shoe factory has long been demolished and replaced by a sophisticated cafe.

Well-dressed men and women were coming in and out of the door. They were sitting by the window drinking coffee and talking about the future in the sunshine outside. The smiles on their faces were bright and sunny, unlike him who was full of bitterness and confusion.

As a person who has been out of touch with the times for 70 years, how should he live in today's society? Everything he was once familiar with has become a memory, buried in the past with time.

Just like the outdated and old-fashioned clothes on his body, he himself has long been outdated and is completely incompatible with the bright city and the advanced and developed society today.

Thinking of this, Steve sighed and stopped being dazed. He drank all the coffee left in the cup and stood up.

He first put on his sunglasses and then his hat, and left the cafe again with his brown jacket.

As he turned into the next street, a man in a suit and tie walked up to him and whispered to him: "Captain, we can go, the headquarters is ready, Chief Colson is waiting for you. "

Hearing the words of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent beside him, Steve nodded, and then followed the other person into a car on the roadside, and then drove out of the city.

Along the way, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent kept looking at Steve with the rearview mirror in front of him. Although it had been two days since the agency sent him to follow Steve, he still felt very excited. Every time I see it I ask myself if this is a dream.

People who could only be seen on TV and comics before appeared before him alive. No matter how he thought about it, he felt it was very magical.

"Do you know that software? It's the kind of software that seems to be able to chat?" Steve suddenly turned his head and looked at the agent driving through the rearview mirror in front of him.

The agent was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said: "I know that software, I use it too, do you need one too?"

"I think I might need one, and a phone number." Steve nodded and continued to look out the window.

"Understood, I will report to the commander and implement it as soon as possible." the agent responded.

Although he wanted to agree directly, according to the work process, he did not have this authority. All matters and requests about Steve needed to be reported to Chief Colson first, and Chief Colson would judge them before they were implemented.

The vehicle was driving on a suburban road, and soon entered a forest, and then arrived in front of a gray-looking building.

In the large square in front of the building, a Quinjet was parked here. Coulson was standing not far from the Quinjet's airport, wearing sunglasses and quietly watching the car getting closer.

He folded his hands in front of him, still holding a stack of cards in his hands, flipping them from time to time, raising them for a while, and kept mumbling something in his mouth.

When the car stopped in front of him, he took a deep breath, as if he mustered up the courage to do something.

But as soon as he made a move, the agent in the driver's seat had already got out of the car. He nodded at him and said, "Sir, Captain Rogers has already arrived."

When the agent nodded to Coulson, Rogers opened the car door and got out of the car, then looked at Coulson and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Colson quickly responded with a smile, swallowed nervously, and then put the things in his hands back into his trouser pockets.

"The plane is ready, let's set off now." Coulson said as he took his hand out of his trouser pocket and pointed to the Quinjet next to him.

Chapter 226, Competition on the Space Carrier

On the endless blue sea, a huge space carrier is moored on the sea.

Countless staff were walking around on the deck, and at the same time, there were many aircraft circling and parked on the space carrier.

As a Quinjet slowly stopped on the deck, Holm and Daisy also walked out of the open hatch.

"Don't take such a risk next time, I'm almost going to be late." Holm looked at the time on his watch and said to Daisy next to him.

Hearing Holm's words, Daisy also raised the corners of her lips and teased: "You were not like this just now. My legs are still a little sore now."

At this point, she also came close to Holm's ear, stretched out her red little tongue, licked his ear and said softly: "I'm very satisfied with your performance this time, continue next time~"

"When you want to be bold, just be bold. You don't have to be so restrained. I like your domineering look."

Hearing Daisy's seductive words and looking at her eyes that were filled with lust, Holm also pinched her pert butt and said harshly in her ear: "This is what you said, next. Please don't cry and beg me to be gentle."

"Humph! I don't know how. I have improved a lot now and will never be the same again." Daisy said with a blushing face.

Although the way she cried and begged for mercy before is indeed vivid in my mind, she has always been a person who never admits defeat. Just because she begged for mercy before does not mean that she will beg for mercy in the future. After this period of fighting with each other, she has become a new, more powerful person. Daisy has more stamina and stamina.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ It's working time now, so flirting is probably not very good."

While Daisy and Holm were biting each other's ears and whispering, a slightly playful voice rang from the side.

Hearing this familiar voice, Daisy and Holm also raised their heads and looked forward, only to see Natasha folding her arms and smiling, her eyes constantly moving on the two of them.

Holm could feel a lot of emotions from Natasha's eyes, especially when the other party looked at him, he could feel that there seemed to be some resentment and longing in them.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, the two of us are just checking the upcoming mission report." Holm said in a serious and shameless manner.

Daisy also nodded after hearing this, looking very serious with her small mouth pursed.

"Oh, do you know it yourself?" Natasha was too lazy to expose their weak disguise.

Listening to Natasha's strange tone, Daisy also noticed the other party's thoughts, so she rolled her eyes and suddenly showed a charming smile, then she took Holm's arm and looked at her and said: "Oh, no. The thought of it still makes you see through it."

"It's all because of this guy Holm. He always wants to whisper to me. I was uneasy on the plane just now."

"Hehe, if that's the case, then we don't have to pretend. We are all colleagues. Seniors probably won't go to the director to report us."

As Daisy spoke, she blinked her big eyes at Natasha, her lips raised with pride, which made Natasha furious.

How could Natasha not see the meaning of Daisy being so naked? She knew that Daisy was deliberately showing off to her and at the same time declaring her sovereignty over Holm.

For a moment, Natasha and Daisy's invisible gazes converged in the air, creating an unusual smell of gunpowder.

Feeling the increasingly anxious atmosphere, Holm also raised his hand and coughed lightly and said: "Ahem! What, the time is almost up, let's go quickly, being late is not a good habit, don't forget the last time the director I just told you."

Hearing Holm's words, Daisy suddenly remembered something, so she raised her hand and looked at the time in a pretentious manner, and then exaggeratedly said in surprise: "Ah, as expected, the time is almost up, Uncle Fury. No, the director should We are all waiting impatiently."

"I'm really sorry. Although it was nice chatting with my seniors, the two of us have to leave first."

After saying that, Daisy took Holm's arm and continued to walk forward. The triumphant look on her face made Natasha itchy with hatred.

Just now, Daisy had already put her in a bad mood when she deliberately pulled Holm to show off to her, let alone mentioning her dear uncle Director now.

The uncle who was mentioned on purpose was a long sharp knife, which pierced her heart and left her unable to resist.

What a damn connection! ! !

No matter how unhappy Natasha was now, Daisy was so happy. But just as she was proudly pulling Holm to continue walking in, Natasha suddenly put her hand on her shoulder.

"What's the rush? Let's go together. I'm about to go in too." Natasha said softly with a standard smile on her face.

Although her smile looked sweet, her voice and narrowed eyes were unusually cold.

Hearing Natasha's words and feeling her movements, the smile on Daisy's face froze instantly, because she could feel Natasha's hand on her shoulder exerting force.

"Damn stinky woman! She's so angry, isn't she?" Daisy thought as she pulled Natasha's hand off unwilling to be outdone, then held it tightly and began to compete with each other.

Just when Holm was a little confused and didn't know how to resolve the conflict between them.

Several familiar figures came over from the other side, it was Colson and Steve.

"Ha, you are here too. Let me introduce you. This is Captain Rogers."

"These are my colleagues, Agent Romanoff, Agent Johnson, and Agent Clint."

"Agent Clint is our current ace agent of SHIELD, SHIELD Blade."

Coulson introduced each other to Steve and Holm, especially taking the initiative to introduce Holm's name to Steve, making Holm feel a toe scratching next to him.

The awkward feeling this name brought him was something he couldn't desensitize even though he had experienced it many times.

However, unlike modern people, Steve did not find this title embarrassing. Instead, he was in awe of Holm. Although he was not familiar with it, he still had more respect.

After all, in his opinion, a person who can get such a name must not be an ordinary person. This name not only represents his strength, but also represents everyone's recognition of him.

"Captain America, Aegis Blade, sounds really nice to me." Natasha raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Holm in a playful manner, her eyes full of malice.

Coulson didn't think that Natasha was deliberately mocking Holm and Steve. Instead, he nodded with interest and said, "It's very pleasing to the ears, right? I'd say there's absolutely no problem with my name." "

"Of course, no problem. Look how happy Holm is." Natasha looked at Holm's ugly smile and felt happy.

And Holm could only glare at her fiercely, and made a mental note to her.

Chapter 227: The resentful Natasha

After the awkward introduction at the door, Holm also joined Coulson and the others, and then walked toward the interior of the space carrier together.

Along the way, Colson also showed a side that he had never shown before, always chatting with Steve with a nervous and reserved smile.

Looking at his appearance, Holm and others who came back also looked at each other and smiled, understanding his current restraint.

Anyone who has a good relationship with Coulson will know how much Coulson is obsessed with and admires Captain America.

In the past, he spent a lot of money to buy Captain America's exclusive peripherals. Now that the living Captain America is next to him, he can't be too nervous or reserved.

After watching Coulson pick his pockets several times and hesitate to speak, Holm felt a little anxious for him and even wanted to help him speak.

But thinking that it would be meaningful to have something like this himself, he resisted the urge.

After passing through the long corridor, they finally arrived at Nick Fury's office.

After the briefing, Holm and Daisy entered the office first to report.

As expected by Holm, Nick Fury had already expected the conclusion that the two of them had found nothing, and even encouraged them not to be discouraged and to look for other angles, maybe they would get unexpected results.

Of course, the two of them nodded in response, saying that they would do their best to continue looking for clues and find clues about John Garriott as soon as possible.

In less than ten minutes, the two of them walked out of Nick Fury's office again, and then watched Steve and Coulson enter the office again.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Natasha suddenly came over, crossed her arms and said to Holm: "Have you finished the mission report? Come with me."

"I have to go with you, what do you want to do?" Daisy was far more positive than Holm. Before Holm could speak, Daisy was already looking at Natasha with unkind eyes.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's about Browns' jailbreak. Recently, we found some clues in our tracking, but we are not sure whether it is true or not. So the director asked me to come to him and said that he was responsible for this case before. Let me talk to him and ask for his opinion."

Natasha's words were well-founded and righteous. Not only did she not seem to be at a disadvantage in her momentum, but she also didn't flinch when she looked into Daisy's eyes.

Seeing that Natasha was doing business without any flaws, Daisy didn't know what else to say, but she always felt that this woman had other agendas, but she just didn't know what was wrong.

"It's okay, don't worry, you go back to the base first, I'll go with her to check on the situation." Holm touched Daisy's head and said.

"If it's Bronski's thing, it really has something to do with me. After all, he was the person I captured and sent to prison. I'm also very curious about how he managed to escape suddenly and then disappear without a trace. traced."

After hearing Holm's words, Daisy nodded and walked back to the hangar.

After her figure left the passage, Holm also turned his head, looked at Natasha who was leaning against the wall and showing playfulness again, shook his head and said helplessly: "Sure enough, what you just said was all a lie to her, right? Fortunately, I still believe it."

"I have to say that your acting skills are really good. Even I didn't see any flaws."

After hearing Holm's words, Natasha also walked next to him, raised his chin and said, "Who told you that I lied? What I just said is all true."

"What? So there are indeed clues about Blonsky?" Holm was stunned when he heard this. He thought Natasha was lying to Daisy and was about to ask her what her purpose was.

"There are indeed clues about Blodsky, but the director didn't ask me to confirm the situation with you." Natasha said with a smile.

"My confirmation with you is just my special case-handling skills as an old agent. After all, you were indeed in charge of him before."

Hearing Natasha's answer, Holm was speechless for a while. What kind of special lying technique was this? Most of it was true and a little bit of it was false. Coupled with Natasha's flawless acting skills, no wonder there were no flaws.

"Okay, then what do you want to confirm with me? What new news does Blonsky have? If you can't keep it confidential, don't tell me. I don't want to cause trouble." Holm looked at Natasha and asked He curled his lips and said.

Maybe it was because Nick Fury had given Natasha the task of testing his background before, so now no matter what Natasha said to him, he felt like he had a deeper meaning.

Even now that Natasha was about to tell him the news about Blonsky, he felt that Nick Fury had deliberately asked her to test him, so she did this.

After hearing Holm's series of words, Natasha briefly explained: "It's not confidential information, it's just that a camera captured a face similar to Bronski's in Sokovia. Since he disappeared, News like this comes out every once in a while, but it's always of no use."

After saying this, Natasha also leaned close to Holm's chest, looked at Holm with wide eyes and said resentfully: "Are you really not planning to have contact with me in the future?"

Although the last time they met at Stark Group, Natasha also told Holm that she was very difficult and would definitely pester Holm.

But in fact, they each have their own tasks. Even if Natasha wants to entangle Holm, she doesn't have much chance, not to mention that Holm always has Daisy, a little housekeeper, leaving her no chance at all. .

Looking at Natasha's resentful eyes, Holm also sighed and wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Natasha had already stuck her fingers in his mouth.

"I don't want to hear what you say, I want to feel how you feel about me from your body."

After saying that, Natasha directly hugged Holm's neck and pressed her red lips on it.

They just exchanged warm breaths, feeling each other's unique scent that they hadn't felt for a long time.

After the passionate kiss lasted for a moment, Natasha looked at Holm with eyes full of joy, and then said in his ear: "Come and feel what it feels like to do it on the space carrier. It will definitely be better than doing it on the space carrier." The Quinjet is much better."

After finishing speaking, Natasha took Holm's tie and took him to her own lounge, reliving the joy that Holm brought her.

Chapter 228, a date 7 years late

While Holm and Natasha were fighting in the lounge, Coulson also took Steve into Nick Fury's office.

Watching them enter the office, Nick Fury behind the desk also raised his head, looked at Steve with his one eye and said, "How is it? You should have been to a lot of places in the past few days. Have you found your past?" a feeling of?"

After hearing Nick Fury's words, Steve shrugged and said: "There is no familiar feeling at all. The world has changed greatly. The places I remembered before have been demolished and rebuilt. They have been demolished and rebuilt long ago. It's not what it used to be."

"The longer I wander the streets, the more I feel like I don't belong to this era. Maybe you shouldn't have rescued me from under the ice."

This was Steve's somewhat passive look, and Nick Fury didn't say anything. He just pushed a document bag he was holding in front of him.

"Don't be so negative. Take a look at this and you might not think so. There are still people you are familiar with in this world."

Following Nick Fury's words, Steve also opened the folder and looked at it. What fell out of it was a photo that he was very familiar with.

The woman in the photo is beautiful and generous. Although her red lips look a little more charming, but in comparison with her heroic eyes and the whole person's temperament, this charm seems insignificant, but it only highlights her heroic appearance.

There is the same photo behind this photo. The colors of this photo are more colorful and rich, and it can be seen that it is a modern technique.

There is also a woman in the photo, but compared to the young and beautiful woman just now, this one now has white hair and wrinkles on her face. Although her eyes are still full of heroic spirit, her whole person has an age and twilight that cannot be concealed.

"Paige! She's still alive!" Looking at the very familiar face in the photo, Steve looked up at Nick Fury with some excitement and said.

"Ms. Carter was also one of the founders of SHIELD. The war ended shortly after you disappeared. Ms. Carter and Mr. Stark co-founded the earliest SHIELD," Nick Fury continued to explain to Steve. road.

"She is indeed still alive, but her physical condition is not very good and she has been recuperating in the UK."

"I haven't told her about your return yet. If possible, I would like to give this right to yourself."

"I think if you walked up to her in person and told her about it, she might be happier and you could feel relieved."

After saying these words, Nick Fury continued to look at Rogers and smiled: "I think you won't want to go back to being a big popsicle now."

"Although this world is no longer what you were familiar with before, after you wake up, there will be a place for you here."

"In the past, you were able to become Captain America with your frail body, defeat Hydra, and gain recognition from people all over the world. Now you have no reason to be afraid or even want to retreat just because this is not the era you are familiar with. "

"Cheer up, Captain Rogers, the world still needs you."

After hearing what Nick Fury said, Steve looked at the photo and was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I understand, I will adjust myself, but I want to see her first."

"Of course, this was our established plan." Nick Fury nodded.

After finishing speaking, he also looked at Coulson next to him and continued to order: "Go and make arrangements for those who are around the captain these days to accompany him to the UK."

Hearing Nick Fury's arrangement, Coulson was slightly startled, and then said with some reluctance: "Just let them accompany the captain? I think I can do that too."

"I have other tasks to give you. You first send the captain out and arrange the tasks just mentioned." Nick Fury sighed deeply and said.

Although he respected Coulson's hobbies, he really couldn't understand what kind of magic Captain America had that could make his old partner obsessed with him as if he had lost his soul.

When Nick Fury was feeling depressed, Coulson also let out a long sigh, and then watched with great reluctance as Steve followed the men who had just brought him up to the hangar, preparing to leave for England. Meet Ms. Carter.

If Nick Fury hadn't asked him to stay and perform other tasks, he would have really wanted to go to England with them.

Captain America and the love of his heart are reunited after decades. Not to mention that he is a fan of Captain America, even ordinary passers-by will be looking forward to such a situation.

It's a pity that he can't be there to witness this historic scene in person.

Coulson sighed in disappointment and returned to Nick Fury's office with his head lowered.

Seeing Coulson still looking downcast, Nick Fury also had a displeased expression on his face, knocked on the table and said to Coulson: "Agent Coulson, are you in a good mood? If you feel too sad, you can go with them."

Although Nick Fury said this, looking at his face as dark as the bottom of a pot and his very indifferent tone, Coulson also knew that the other person was just speaking out of anger.

If he dared to agree like this without even blinking, then Nick Fury would probably be so angry that he would overturn the table on the spot.

Thinking of this, Coulson also hurriedly calmed down his mood and returned to his most normal self. Then he looked at Nick Fury and said: "I'm sorry, I was a little out of control just now. I have adjusted it now. Director, please give it to me." Issue new mission instructions."

Seeing that Coulson had really adjusted his condition, Nick Fury finally stopped looking grim and his expression softened a lot.

I saw him taking out a medium-sized paper bag from the inside of his coat, and then threw the paper bag in front of Colson and said: "Open it and take a look. The things inside will exist after reading it." In my own mind, I can't tell a third person without my permission."

After hearing Nick Fury's words, Coulson also picked up the paper bag in front of him, opened it and flipped through the photos and information inside.

Although the presentation of this information is indeed not very good, it is also a top secret, otherwise Nick Fury would not have carried it with him and warned Coulson so seriously.

A few minutes later, after reading the photos and information, Coulson took a deep breath, rewrapped the things and handed them to Nick Fury.

Chapter 229, Coulson's new mission

After seeing Nick Fury put the information back inside his coat, Coulson also sorted out the shocked thoughts in his head and asked Nick Fury in a deep voice.

"So the dragon is not just a simple creature, but contains a greater secret?"

"I always thought that seeing this kind of life once in my life was the limit, but I didn't expect that this was not the most exciting thing."

Listening to Coulson's emotion, Nick Fury also nodded and said: "I was just as shocked as you when I first found out about it. After all, we all know that the strange symbiote on Holm came from an extraterrestrial meteorite. No one knows. I wouldn't have thought that this giant dragon that had been frozen under the ice for who knows how many years would be the same creature as it."

"According to our current assumptions and the data obtained from the experiments, if we can split the black symbionts on the giant dragon into individual individuals, and then pair them with humans to form a symbiotic relationship, then we can obtain An army of symbiotes with the same strength as Holm."

Holm's current strength is enough to surprise them. If he can have an army of symbiotes with the same strength as Holm, he will not have to worry about possible alien threats in the future.

Nick Fury has always known that there is life beyond the earth and there are aliens, so he has always been on guard and prepared for it.

Especially the man who appeared in the West when dealing with Tony Stark's palladium poisoning last time and echoed myths and legends. He and his brother Loki pushed Nick Fury's sense of crisis to the limit.

He has also made several preparations for this. On the one hand, he wants to create super soldiers like Hulk through research on Blonsky. On the other hand, he is also steadily collecting talents to advance the Avengers plan.

Originally, he mainly only had these two plans, but Blonsky's escape caused him to miss another one in an instant. Now the sudden appearance of the symbiote dragon can just fill the vacancy in the plan left by Blonsky's escape.

And if it really goes as planned, the plan for an army of symbiote soldiers will be far more reliable and powerful than an army of super soldiers. After all, Holm's strength is clearly there.

They had been suffering from the inability to replicate Holm's combat power again, and now the emergence of this symbiote dragon gave them this opportunity.

"Do you want to use the symbiote army to deal with possible dangers in the future? Isn't this a bit too risky? After all, Thor poses no threat to the earth, and Asgard's attitude is also kind." Colson He said thoughtfully.

As the main person responsible for handling the Thor incident, Coulson certainly understands Nick Fury's long-standing concerns.

Hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury also shook his head and said: "The idea of handing your destiny to others is truly threatening."

"We do know Thor's attitude, but it's not like you haven't seen his brother Loki's appearance."

"There is also that terrifying iron-skinned monster. That monster alone has destroyed a town. If Thor hadn't taken action at the end, this monster alone would have been enough to destroy everything around it. We even used him to repay Nothing can be done."

"Faced with such a situation, how can I not worry and feel in danger."

"If the earth does not have enough power to protect itself, then when Asgard changes its mind or other alien forces invade, the earth will be helpless and allowed to be bullied by them."

"I will never let this happen, so the research on that dragon must be done as quickly as possible, and results must be produced as quickly as possible."

Nick Fury's attitude was very firm, and he also expressed his considerations and decisions.

Although Coulson agreed with this, out of caution, he still frowned with some worry and said: "If the symbiote army can really do it, how can we ensure that this army will only be used in... To deal with aliens, just in case"

"I will personally take charge of all this and will never let the situation you imagined happen." Before Coulson could finish speaking, Nick Fury had already expressed his attitude in advance.

"Even if the government knows about this, I will definitely not let them get involved in this army. This army can only be used to deal with aliens and cannot become a force to attack each other within the earth."

"Is this really guaranteed? You and I should know what those people above look like." Colson was still worried.

Nick Fury also smiled when he saw this and said, "If I already hold this army in my hands, how can they disagree?"

Hearing what Nick Fury meant, Coles was stunned, and then he laughed.

Yes, why did he forget about this? When the time comes, the most powerful army will be in his hands. Even if those people have objections, what will they use to resist?

He knew what Nick Fury meant, and at the same time he was admired and bold by the other person's idea.

It is true that only Nick Fury dares to do such a thing. As expected of the director, he has courage.

After communicating these matters, Coulson also confirmed that Nick Fury would unswervingly implement this matter.

He didn't have too many opinions on this. He just nodded and said softly: "I understand. I will perform this task well. What should I do next?"

Seeing that Coulson was already at work, Nick Fury continued: "I have asked people to build an experimental base where the dragon was found. From now on, you will be in charge of this symbiote research project there. It is also your sole responsibility."

"There may be a lot of things, but you also know how important this matter is, so I can't leave it to anyone else except you."

Coulson is Nick Fury's most trusted person, so this task is given to him.

Coulson also understood this. He and Nick Fury had worked together for many years. Although they seemed to be superiors and subordinates on the surface, they had actually become one of the few friends of each other.

"I will gradually increase the manpower in the follow-up, and the experimental funds will also be provided. Then I will leave your affairs to you. I have only one request, and that is to conduct the experiment on the symbiote soldiers as quickly as possible." Nick Fury once again emphasized that the experiment on the symbiote video must be carried out as soon as possible.

Colson didn't have any objections to this. He just listened to his request quietly and began to make arrangements in his mind.

Chapter 230, Holm noticed the abnormality

"Click!" As the office door was closed, Coulson walked out of Nick Fury's office with a heavy heart.

As he walked, he was still looking down and thinking about what Nick Fury had just told him, thinking about how to manage the secret place well and how to get the experimental results as soon as possible according to Nick Fury's requirements.

Just as he was walking through the corridor and about to turn a corner, he bumped into Holm who was also walking out from the other side.

Seeing Holm staying here and not leaving yet, Coulson was also a little surprised and said: "Why haven't you left yet? Where is Daisy?"

"Daisy has returned to the base first. I stayed here because Natasha just asked me to help her analyze some intelligence. I am preparing to go back now." Holm explained to Coulson with a smile.

Hearing Holm's explanation, Colson nodded in understanding, and then followed Holm out and said, "So that's it, let's go together, I just have to go back to the base, by the way, Na Why didn't Tasha come out to see you off? You helped her anyway, right?"

"Haha, you know she is not so polite to people she knows well." Holm also responded with a smile: "She said she has been very busy recently and needs a rest, so she didn't come out to see me off. , I rested in the lounge."

"It's true that I'm a little busy during this period. I will also have a long-term mission next. You and Daisy will just follow the director's arrangements." Coulson nodded and said to Holm.

Holm smiled and nodded when he heard this, and glanced at Nick Fury's office calmly.

They were chatting like this while walking towards the hangar.

At the same time, Natasha in the lounge was wrapped in a thin sheet, biting her red lips with blurred eyes, muttering something softly, seemingly complaining to herself about Holm.

The numbness and weakness throughout her body made her just want to lie down and not move. Compared with the last contact, Holm's physical strength and endurance have also improved a lot after this period of time.

Natasha could still fight Holm back and forth before, but now she has no power to fight back and can only be completely defeated unwillingly.

"Next time. Next time, I must make him feel tired too." Natasha blinked her eyes tiredly, muttering softly and making up her mind.

Before she could finish her words, a feeling of exhaustion surrounded her, forcing her to close her eyes and fall asleep with steady breathing.

Dozens of minutes later, after arriving at the base, Holm and Coulson also said goodbye, and then took Daisy back to her home.

Daisy kept asking questions about the situation along the way, and Holm responded to all the questions very calmly, without letting Daisy see anything unusual.

In fact, Natasha originally wanted to leave some obvious marks on Holm, but Holm didn't give him a chance and directly suppressed him with his backhand. Then Natasha could only be beaten passively. No longer can we take the initiative.

After sending Daisy home, Holm frowned slightly and thought about something while driving the car towards his home.

What he had been thinking about was what kind of new mission Coulson had received. He instinctively felt that Nick Fury had given him some incredible mission, but he really couldn't figure out what it was.

After all, if it wasn't an important mission, Coulson wouldn't give up the opportunity to continue following Captain America.

Regardless of Coulson's own thoughts, or Nick Fury, who has been Coulson's friend for many years, he should not refuse Coulson's request to accompany Captain America on missions.

Since Coulson can leave Captain America to perform other tasks, it means that Nick Fury has a more important task entrusted to him, and it can only be carried out by him.

Otherwise, Natasha, Barton and others are still performing some less important tasks, and they can completely replace this role in terms of experience and strength.

Therefore, after analyzing various factors, Holm also came to an inference, that is, the reason why Nick Fury handed over this task to Coulson was because the task was both confidential and important. In addition to giving it to Coulson, Apart from Coulson, a friend he trusted for many years, Nick Fury had no other better choice.

"What kind of mission is it? Is it related to John Garriott?"

"Is it just a cover for me and Daisy to investigate together, but Coulson is actually investigating this matter behind the scenes?"

"But there is no reason for him to do this, unless he is guarding against someone? Could it be that my identity has been exposed?"

"No, no, this is impossible. If the identity was exposed, it would not be what it is now. It must be because of another hidden secret."

While driving, Holm sorted out the thoughts in his mind, making rare bold assumptions again and again, and overturning them with more rigorous reasoning every time.

After thinking for a moment, Holm also decided to tell Pierce about the matter and let him find out what it was through his own channels.

After all, it was Pierce who asked him to observe the internal movements of SHIELD. Now that there was such a big mystery, Pierce had no reason not to investigate it.

Just as he was thinking about this, the cell phone he placed on the passenger seat also started to ring, and the caller ID showed the name Pierce he had just thought of.

Without much hesitation, Holm reached for the phone and picked it up.

A few minutes later, after listening to the call, Holm threw the phone back into the passenger seat, then turned the steering wheel and drove the car in the other direction.

Pierce asked him to go to him, saying that he had some internal matters within SHIELD that he wanted to discuss with him. When Holm heard this, he immediately thought of Coulson's mission when he noticed something abnormal today.

If nothing else, what Pierce is going to say should also be related to this.

It seemed that there was no need for him to remind Pierce. Pierce himself had noticed the abnormality of the situation and contacted him proactively.

With such efficiency, it can only be said that Pierce's network of relationships is indeed vast and he can quickly detect something amiss within SHIELD.

Although I don't know what the reason is, I think Pierce must have become more urgent about pulling Nick Fury from the position of director.

The more urgent Pierce is, the closer Holm's opportunity is. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will soon be able to replace Nick Fury.

But before that, he wanted to do some insurance for himself, but now that Venom hadn't woken up, he had no choice but to stop.

Chapter 231, Goodbye Pierce

Still at the familiar entrance of the villa, Holm slowly parked the car to the side of the road, then handed the key to the housekeeper who came forward, and asked the housekeeper to help him put the car into the parking lot.

He followed the housekeeper and passed through various door controls before finally entering the villa and saw Pierce sitting on the sofa wearing casual home clothes.

At this time, Pierce was really frowning as if he was thinking about something, and he was holding a glass of amber wine in his hand and shaking it gently.

As he shook it, the ice cubes in the cup also hit lightly and made a sound that echoed quietly in the large living room.

After seeing the butler and Holm walking in from the door, Pierce also came back from his thoughts, stood up with a smile and said to Holm: "It's really a rush to call you over temporarily. Come on, let's drink first. Take a break with a glass of wine."

As he spoke, Pierce walked to the wine cabinet, took out a glass and ice cubes and poured Holm a glass of the same wine as his.

"This is my treasured rum. It has a mellow and long aroma." Pierce handed the glass to Holm with a smile and introduced it softly.

Upon seeing this, Holm also put the wine glass to his mouth and smelled me, then picked up the glass and took a sip.

"It is indeed a rare and good wine. Only sir, you have such a collection here. I usually only drink some common products on the market." Holm licked his lips and tasted it.

"Haha, I also prepared a bottle for you. I'll take it with me when I go back later." Pierce sat on the sofa while smiling and talking. At the same time, he pointed to the sofa opposite to indicate where Holm could sit. .

Hearing this, Holm also smiled slightly and sat down on the sofa while responding: "In that case, I would like to thank you sir for your kindness. Hahaha, this is the first time for me to drink such expensive wine."

"There will only be more and more opportunities like this in the future. Your collection may one day be more valuable than mine." Pierce said with a meaningful smile.

"Sir, you are joking. No matter how much I accumulate, I will definitely not be able to surpass you." Holm said with a smile.

After the greetings and the conversation, Pierce also took a sip of wine, and then asked Holm: "Is there anything unusual happening in SHIELD recently?"

Hearing Pierce's question, Holm also nodded while holding the wine glass and said: "There were no abnormal situations before, but one happened today."

Then Holm told Coulson and Nick Fury's actions and his speculations.

"Although I don't know the specific content of the mission, I think it must be very important and confidential, otherwise Nick Fury would not hand him over to Coulson."

After Hom finished speaking, he took another sip of wine to moisten his throat. Needless to say, the wine tasted really good.

Listening to Holm's story, Pierce also squinted his eyes while drinking, his eyes flickering.

After a while, he drank all the wine in the glass, and then continued to Holm: "I came to you today because of some things. Now it seems that these things should be related to the mission you observed today. It can't be separated."

"Do you know what they found underneath the Arctic ice sheets?"

Hearing Pierce's sudden question, Holm was stunned, and then said immediately: "Didn't you find Captain America? I also met him today. He seems to be recovering well, exactly like a normal person, without any damage. , it's really magical that it can still be in such a state after being frozen under the ice for 70 years."

Hearing Holm's answer, Pierce nodded first, then shook his head and said: "They did find Captain America under the Arctic ice sheet, but there is another one besides that."

"Another one? What?" Holm also became curious at this time.

"According to the information I have received so far, it should be a black dragon." Pierce said seriously.

"Dragon?!" Hearing Pierce's answer, Holm also felt his head was spinning. He never expected such an answer.

Why are there giant dragons under the Arctic ice sheets? Why doesn't he remember this scene in the Captain America movie?

"Is it a real giant dragon? Is it the kind from a fairy tale?" Holm asked in disbelief.

Faced with his question, Pierce didn't say much. He just took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to him.

The background of the photo is still the same white ice field as in the information about Captain America, and in a large crack in the middle of the ice field, a lifelike black dragon is embedded in the thick ice.

"Hi~!"

Holm took a breath when he looked at the photo. Although he had already been mentally prepared for the magic of this world, he was still extremely shocked when the photo of a living dragon appeared in front of him. .

While observing Holm's expression, Pierce continued to speak: "This is another thing they discovered. For some unknown purpose or reason, Nick Fury completely concealed the discovery of this thing."

"Even the top officials in the government, Nick Fury's immediate boss, don't know that in addition to Captain America, this thing was discovered in the Arctic ice sheet."

"He seemed to want to research this thing and didn't want other people to know about it."

"Now a secret laboratory has been built on the Arctic ice sheet. The people used in this secret laboratory are all those he has screened. There are very few informants among them, and their levels are not high."

"I came to you just to ask you if you have any ideas on how to put some people in this secret laboratory."

After hearing Pierce's explanation and request, Holm also started thinking in silence. This sudden question really made him unable to think of any good candidates for a while.

While he was thinking, a familiar face suddenly appeared in his mind.

"I thought of a suitable candidate. He was one of the people assigned directly to me and is now the captain of SHIELD's special team."

"Due to some unexpected opportunities, his strength has also been greatly improved, and now he is the most outstanding person in this sequence."

"The construction of this secret base should also require some people with strong combat capabilities to be stationed in order to deal with some unexpected situations and dangers."

"Usually, this candidate would be me, but now I'm performing a mission myself, and Nick Fury doesn't seem to want me to get involved with this mission, so I think the only candidate should be him."

Chapter 232, Rumlow's new job

In the Arctic ice field, on the endless ice field, a huge black building stands here.

This black building is square and square, as if it suddenly appeared on this ice field, and it seems incompatible with this white world.

In the black building, Nick Fury was standing in the office on the top floor, staring blankly at the black dragon frozen in the ice that was illuminated by countless spotlights not far away.

Now this place is all under the control of SHIELD, and this building was built by SHIELD around this black dragon in order to better study it.

Through a series of preparations and testing work, they now know that this black dragon is not an ordinary creature, but a symbiotic dragon.

He has been sleeping under the Arctic ice for thousands of years. Due to some special reasons and extreme cold and freezing, now this symbiote dragon has also fallen into sleep.

The dragon's sleep is also the basis for their research. It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like if the dragon really came to life.

However, judging from the worst-case scenario, the awakening of this giant dragon is not a good thing for them. Only the sleeping dragon has research value and is a treasure.

In order not to destroy the dragon's slumber, SHIELD will use a special method and special tools to penetrate deep into the ice to take out a small part of the black symbiont for study.

After this period of research, they have already made some small gains.

"Special Forces Captain Brock Rumlow applies for entry." While Nick Fury was looking at the black dragon not far away and thinking about something, a string of electronic sounds suddenly sounded in the office.

After hearing the system's notification, Nick Fury came to his senses, turned around and responded to the system: "Let him in."

As his order was given, after a while, the door of the office also opened, and Rumlow walked over from the outside carrying a suitcase.

After seeing Nick Fury, Rumlow also put the suitcase on the table, and then said to him: "Sir, this is what you need."

Nick Fury looked at the suitcase on the table and fumbled with it gently while saying to Brock Rumlow: "Colson said your last mission has ended, and we just need some manpower here. You come here to strengthen vigilance and protection."

"Yes." After hearing Nick Fury's order, Rumlow didn't say much. He just nodded, then turned and exited the office.

After leaving the office, he followed Nick Fury's order and followed a staff member towards the area where Coulson was.

He had known for a long time that the task of transporting documents this time was just a superficial task, not only because of what Holm told him before he came, but also because of the black building belt he saw with his own eyes after arriving here all the way. Give him a shock.

Just as Holm expected, although Nick Fury had already prepared and did not send too many SHIELD staff here, the manpower here is indeed somewhat insufficient, so he still chooses Some additional personnel were sent here to provide support.

Coulson needs manpower, and the security force is also lacking. After all, this dragon is one of SHIELD's biggest secrets, so after comprehensive consideration, the now powerful Rumlow becomes the best candidate.

The experimental area where Colson is located is closer to the symbiote dragon, and the symbiote samples taken out of the symbiote dragon will be sent to him immediately.

After bypassing several more passages and passing several strict access restrictions, Rumlow finally led his people to the core experimental area.

At the same time, he also saw from a distance through the glass the black giant dragon in the middle, which was as high as two or three stories high and was frozen in the middle, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high in the next second.

The moment he saw this giant dragon, he finally understood how arduous this mission was. This legendary creature beyond his cognition really shocked him.

Rumlow calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart while walking like this. When he gradually approached the door at the back, Colson was already standing at the door waiting for him with his own unique smile.

Coulson knew that Rumlow was an extra manpower assigned to him by Nick Fury, so of course he was welcome to relieve the tension on his side.

"I didn't expect the boss to be so efficient this time. I thought he would have to wait another half a month to respond to my request, just like when I applied for a budget from him before."

Coulson joked as he smiled and extended his hand to Rumlow.

He is a well-known good guy in SHIELD, and he has a good relationship with everyone. After Rumlow completed Blonsky's escort mission, the two of them met several times, so the relationship can be considered harmonious.

"How are you lately? I haven't seen you in this time."

Hearing Colson's intimate words, Rumlow also shook his hand, shrugged and smiled: "It's still the same. The mission just ended, and I thought I could take a vacation."

Coulson has already shown friendliness, and Rumlow, who is relatively low-level himself, certainly doesn't show off, so he is also very easy-going with a smile.

Hearing Rumlow's words, Colson also smiled and shook his head, then led him towards the laboratory, and continued: "There is no way, there are always not enough manpower, I have already forgotten the last time When is the vacation time?"

"Speaking of which, the ones who take the most vacations in SHIELD are Holm and Daisy. By the way, you should still remember Holm. Last time you went with him to perform the mission of escorting Blonsky."

"How could I not remember the famous Aegis Blade?" Rumlow said with a smile, "I really envy him. He has such strong strength at such a young age, and he is already a level 8 agent."

Because he didn't know that Holm was his boss, Agent Viper, his tone was very natural, and the envy in him was very real.

Listening to Rumlow's emotion, Coulson also patted his shoulder and smiled: "Don't be discouraged, your strength is not bad now, work hard! You are also a new star of the special forces team now."

"Then I also thank you for your blessing, sir. I hope I can have a bright future like Aegis Blade. But these are things for later. Now I want a vacation even more."

"Haha, I hope you can get your wish soon, but it may not be possible in a short time. By the way, if you take a vacation next time, I recommend you to go to the west. There is a nice beach there."

While they were chatting, they also passed through several more password doors before finally entering the central core area.

Chapter 233, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s symbiote soldiers

After arriving here, Coulson also picked up an identity card and handed it to Rumlow.

"This is your identity card. As usual, you can use it to enter here. You are the only one. If there is any abnormality, you can come here to find me. I will usually stay here."

Hearing Colson's words, Rumlow nodded and took over his identity card. At the same time, his peripheral vision also inadvertently took in the scene of the laboratory.

After all, he is responsible for security work, so although he can enter here to report some things to Coulson, he cannot stay for a long time, otherwise everyone in SHIELD will definitely be able to tell from the perspective of top agents and veterans. Strange.

Especially Colson. Although this guy always has a smile on his face and looks very kind, Rumlow doesn't dare to take him lightly. After all, even the Viper has warned him not to underestimate him. Be very alert in front of him.

Although these thoughts were running through his mind, Rumlow showed no abnormality on his face. He just put the ID card in his pocket and said immediately: "Then I will go out to work. I also need to get familiar with this place as soon as possible. I guarantee that No problem at work."

Hearing his words, Coulson nodded with a smile still, and then watched him leave the core area.

Just after Rumlow left the core area, a staff member walked up to Coulson with a serious expression and spoke something into his ear.

After hearing the staff report, Coulson immediately walked into his office and called Nick Fury.

Within a few seconds, Nick Fury connected to the communication, and his big black face wearing a black eyepatch also appeared on the screen.

Seeing Nick Fury appear, Coulson also described the situation just reported to him by the staff.

"The second batch of symbiote soldiers still lost control. Although their normal operation time has extended to 2 hours compared to the first batch of symbiote soldiers, they still cannot escape the ending of losing control."

"And because the bonding time becomes longer, the connection between them and the symbiote becomes deeper, so their out-of-control situation is more intense and difficult to solve than the first batch of symbiote soldiers."

After hearing Coulson's report, Nick Fury also asked in a deep voice: "Have they been dealt with completely?"

"The system started automatically as soon as they lost control. The overclocked sound waves and high-temperature flames left little ash." Coulson answered simply and quickly.

Nick Fury nodded when he heard this and continued: "Continue the experiment. If there is no way to solve the problem of out-of-control, try to continue to extend the operation time."

"Upgrade the destruction procedures. We must ensure that they are controlled as soon as they lose control. They must be completely destroyed within one minute."

"They can't be put into use on the battlefield until they have strong enough reins. They must be foolproof."

"Understood." After hearing Nick Fury's instructions, Coulson nodded in response.

Then they ended the communication, and Coulson walked out of the office and handed over new instructions to the staff.

In the center of the laboratory, several researchers in white coats were conducting experiments and testing on the black symbionts inside through a solid glass cover.

These black symbiotes are the samples they extracted from the symbiote dragon.

Originally, Nick Fury and the others had great expectations for these black symbiotes. After all, judging from the current data, they and the symbiotes on Holm were all of the same species.

The same color and the same symbiote race made them unable to help but transfer Holm's power to the black symbiote in front of them.

So they initially thought that the black symbiotes they extracted could make an ordinary person as powerful as Holm. Of course, even if they couldn't be as powerful as him, they could still be close.

But after the first round of testing and experiments, they knew what the gap between imagination and reality was, what it meant that ideals were full and reality was skinny.

According to their information, symbionts are a special kind of life form. They need to parasitize on the host to maintain their own lives, but at the same time, they should also have their own thoughts and ideas.

According to this standard, the black symbionts they extracted cannot even be regarded as a real symbiont, because they do not have their own thoughts and ideas.

Although these black symbionts still have the characteristics that symbionts need to parasitize after being activated by them, they cannot communicate with the host in a systematic manner, and may even infect the host, causing the host's normal thinking to become chaotic and crazy. Transform into a symbiote monster with it.

This conclusion is all reached with human lives. So far, no human beings who have combined with these black symbionts have survived. Sooner or later, they will become symbiote monsters. The only difference is the length of time.

With such a high mortality rate, it is of course impossible for SHIELD to use their carefully trained agents or other normal people to conduct experiments. All they use are death row prisoners who have been sentenced to death.

The few condemned prisoners they initially selected to verify the basic characteristics of the black symbiote turned directly into twisted monsters within a few minutes after being combined with the black symbiote.

After that, they began a series of research and experiments, hoping to eliminate the chaotic and twisted characteristics of the black symbiote.

After working hard for a period of time, they started the first round of experiments. This round of experiments also consumed several more death row prisoners.

These condemned prisoners were much luckier than the first few, because they lived a few more hours and experienced the feeling of Superboy.

These death row prisoners have about three hours of normal activity after being combined with the improved black symbiote. During these three hours, they will not feel anything abnormal, but they will feel better.

Not only do they have extraordinary strength, but they also possess extraordinary speed and reaction capabilities, as well as super regeneration capabilities. If they were replaced by a team of well-trained soldiers, these three hours would be enough to complete a very difficult mission.

But three hours later, their first round of experiments still failed as it did at the beginning.

As three hours approached, these condemned prisoners were still assimilated by the chaos and distortion of the black symbiote, losing their minds and becoming even more difficult symbiote monsters than at the beginning.

After the first round of experiments, the researchers immediately collected new data and started a new round of improvements and enhancements.

Chapter 234, Katie of Sokovia

What Coulson just reported to Nick Fury was the second round of testing after improvements and enhancements.

This round of experiments is still similar to the first round of the previous experiment, except that the normal activity time of those people has doubled compared with the first round, reaching 1 hours.

After the normal activity time was increased, these death row prisoners became more difficult to deal with after losing control than in the first round. Although they were eventually eliminated, this issue still cannot be ignored.

The order Nick Fury just gave to Coulson was the preliminary preparations for the third round of experiments. They will continue to conduct research after collecting new experimental data.

Although it sounds like the results of these experiments were not very satisfactory and did not achieve great success, after all, as long as you combine with these black symbionts, you still cannot escape the fate of death.

But this is only relative. For soldiers who may later combine with these black symbiotes, this combination that will inevitably lose their lives will certainly fail.

But for the results they can achieve, what is more important than the lives of soldiers is what gains they can achieve and what goals they can achieve in a few extraordinary hours.

If the harvest of these few hours can satisfy them, then it seems that the lives of these soldiers cannot be discarded. After all, people are always going to die, right?

"Uncle, how long do I have to stay here?" Katie said while eating French fries and looking at Pietro sitting opposite her.

After hearing this, Pietro put down the Coke helplessly, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Just wait for another 10 minutes. He should be here soon."

"And how many times have I told you, just call me brother. I'm not that old."

They were sitting in a fast food restaurant in the center of Sokovia, waiting for William Baker.

Because Rumlow was going on a mission and would not be able to go back for a long time, Holm arranged Katie to Sokovia according to his wishes.

It just so happened that William Baker hadn't seen Katie for a long time, so after learning about it, his first memory was to ask Pietro to help him bring Katie over safely.

In order not to make the little guy feel too uncomfortable, Pietro even lowered his speed and stopped in several places.

The Sokovian Hydra is now completely under Holm's control, so Katie has no problem living here.

Hearing Pietro's response and correction, Katie also blinked her big eyes, looked at him and responded: "But you have grown a lot of beards. Usually only uncles grow beards."

"I'll shave my beard when I get back soon." Pietro was also speechless for a moment.

He originally grew a beard to highlight his maturity, so that William Baker and others would not look down on him because of his age, but he didn't expect that he would become a little too mature all of a sudden, and his seniority level would rise. The brother became an uncle.

While they were talking, a large off-road vehicle also stopped on the street outside the fast food restaurant.

As the lights in front of the off-road vehicle flashed, Pietro also put down the Coke, pointed to Katie and said: "Look, your real uncle has arrived. I will take you over to see him now. Remember to call me in the future." elder brother."

"Okay brother, I understand." Katie said as she wiped the corners of her mouth stained with ketchup. Her eyes were bright and full of expectation. She hadn't seen his Uncle William for a long time. After she went to the playground, Uncle William moved across the street.

On the off-road vehicle at this time, looking at Katie and Pietro who were walking out of the fast food restaurant, William Baker, who was sitting in the back seat, also touched his hair and cheeks to make sure that his current appearance was that of William Baker. Instead of Baron Strucker.

Although he was now very comfortable with the changes, he still carefully checked over and over again because he was afraid of scaring Katie.

At this time, in the main driver's seat, Bronski also looked at William Baker through the rearview mirror and began to check his face again.

This was the first time he saw William Baker looking slightly nervous, so he felt very novel.

He took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth and looked at William Baker with a playful smile and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is why I have never liked children. He will make you change nothing." Like myself."

"Shut up, Bronsky, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak." William Baker glanced at him and said coldly.

"And that thing in your mouth, if you don't want me to punch it into your stomach, take it off as soon as possible and don't smoke in front of children."

Hearing William Baker's words, Bronski curled his lips disdainfully: "If you have the ability, come here, I will still be afraid that you will not succeed."

Both of them are very powerful guys. During this period, they also competed in the secret war room more than once, but there was no winner every time.

Seeing that Bronski ignored his words, William Baker was not angry. Instead, he pointed to the hat on his head and said, "You still don't know how to wear your hat properly."

"By the way, I don't think I told you that the boss has asked about you in the past few days."

"It seems that SHIELD has a clue about you being in Sokovia. Although this clue is not very eye-catching when mixed with other clues, the boss still asked me what was going on."

"I haven't sent out his response yet, but I have already written it. Do you think I should revise it a little bit?"

William Baker looked at Bronski as he spoke, seeming to be asking his opinion seriously.

Hearing this, Bronski's smile instantly froze on his face. Of course he also understood what William Baker meant. If he obeyed the other party, he would say a few good words to him. If he didn't, he would throw away all the responsibilities. On his head.

Thinking of this, Bronski didn't say anything more. He just slowly reached out and took the cigar out of his mouth, then silently put it back into his pocket, pulled off his hat and put it on.

Seeing his actions, William Baker just turned his head slightly and smiled when he looked at Pietro and Katie who were about to walk to the car.

So what if Blonsky is more rampant? As the main person in charge here, in some respects, William Baker has the right to go directly to Tianting. This right can help him firmly contain Bronski, an unruly beast.

Chapter 235, Black-armored Soldier

Late at night, at the port in the suburbs of New York City, a cruise ship was docked on the shore. In front of the cruise ship, a group of armed men with live ammunition were standing on the deck patrolling.

The bright moonlight cast a layer of silver-white brilliance on the rough and worn-out deck, and only the sound of rushing water and their footsteps echoed in the quiet port.

On the top floor of a dilapidated building about 1 kilometer away, there are several desks in a slightly dark space, and the computer screens above are showing the situation in the port in real time.

Rumlow was holding a weapon and guarding this floor with several team members assigned to him. His eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings while pacing to make sure there was nothing unusual.

At the same time, his peripheral vision glanced at the middle position from time to time, paying attention to the situation there.

Coulson held the walkie-talkie, looked at the computer screen, and asked the situation into the walkie-talkie: "How is the situation of the black-armored soldiers? The target's transaction is still going on, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they appear."

Not long after Coulson finished asking, information about the black-armored soldiers came through his earphones.

"Vital signs are normal, mood is stable, and he is always ready to fight."

Hearing the answer in the headset, Coulson nodded and said, "Very good. Listen to my orders in a moment and be ready to take action at any time."

After he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the computer screen in front of him, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, waiting for the right moment to be ready to give orders.

This was the first action of the black-armored soldiers, and their performance was the best proof of the research and experiments during this period.

Nick Fury felt that aimlessly improving the black symbiote was still too slow, so he asked to combine the symbiote with some soldiers to see how much power these special soldiers could exert in a limited time.

This plan to combine black symbionts with soldiers is called the Black-armored Soldier Plan. Their actions today are mainly to verify the combat effectiveness of the black-armored soldiers and collect data for targeted research.

If the performance of the black-armored soldiers is good enough today, then their research on the black symbiote in the future will mainly focus on how to better combine the black symbiote with the soldiers and exert stronger combat effectiveness.

While Colson was staring at the computer screen, ready to take action at any time, Rumlow was also pacing behind slowly with a weapon in hand, his eyes flickering at Colson's back.

He has figured out the situation in the core experimental area in the past few days, but he has been unable to get out or pass the news to Holm. When he was worrying about what to do and whether to take the risk, he did not expect It happened to coincide with the beginning of the Black Armor Plan.

Just now, he took advantage of some suitable opportunities to pass on the information on his search. According to his estimate, Agent Viper has just received the news and has not had time to send him new instructions.

Rumlow is also a little nervous about this. He hopes that the Viper agent can give him a quick reply. After all, while the plan is still in progress, everyone is focusing on the black-armored soldiers and no one will notice. he.

If he waits until the mission is over and returns to the base again, it will not be so easy for him to receive or send information. He will not be able to find the right time and opportunity as before.

While Brock Rumlow was thinking about these things in his head, Coulson, who had been staring at the computer screen, finally spoke.

"Now, the action begins!"

With Coulson's order, the verification process of the black-armored soldier plan finally began.

On the dock, the armed officers continued to patrol with their hands, but suddenly, several black shadows shot out from under the containers and plywood like sharp arrows.

Before these armed men could pick up their weapons to fight back or scream, their heads had already turned 180 degrees with crisp sounds.

After getting rid of these armed men, these black figures gently placed the bodies on the deck without making a single sound, and then continued to jump from the deck like ghosts, directly to the top of the cruise ship. .

These black shadows started from the top of the cruise ship and went down one layer at a time. Except for the slight shaking of the lights, they did not make any sound or cause any commotion. They were like ghosts, hiding the enemies on every level of the cruise ship. The sound of killing.

With such an extremely efficient speed of action, they soon arrived from the top of the cruise ship to the bottom two floors. This was the area with the largest number of people and where their main target was.

The two groups of people here still don't know what is about to happen. One of them is counting the money, the other is inspecting the goods, and they are happily conducting transactions. They are all making a lot of money, and everyone is happy.

The next second, the power supply of the cruise ship was suddenly cut off, and the originally brightly lit hall fell into darkness.

The sudden change made both parties tense instantly. They took out their weapons, cursed and roared, emboldening themselves while also intimidating each other.

Mixed with the curses and roars were screams that sounded from time to time. Only a few black shadows were seen tumbling in the crowd. Whenever their figures fell, a figure would make a mournful cry as they fell. screams.

After this weird situation lasted for a few seconds, the emergency lights on the cruise ship suddenly turned on. Under the bright lights, the two parties finally saw their real enemy.

Their number of personnel has been reduced by almost one-third, and the ones who caused the deaths of these personnel were the few black figures who stood up one after another in front of them.

They were covered in black and looked like they were wearing combat uniforms, but the combat uniforms were all connected together and had fewer edges and corners, making them look slightly sleeker.

"Shoot them and kill them! Tmd! These ghosts came out of nowhere and are playing tricks on me! They killed so many of my people!"

The boss of the receiving party was a middle-aged man with a somewhat round body. He looked at the black-armored soldier with a fierce expression and shouted to his younger brother. Then he picked up the pistol on the table and started pouring bullets.

Suddenly gunshots broke out, and both sides took weapons and started shooting at these black-armored soldiers dressed in pure black.

Orange fire bloomed at the muzzle of the gun, and countless bullets streaked through the air, shooting towards these black-armored soldiers.

It was obvious that they were about to pull the trigger, but these black-armored soldiers stood motionless, letting bullets shoot into their bodies like living targets.
