My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 540 Only dead people will not be killed

I don't know how long it took for Sitwell to wake up from his coma. However, as soon as he regained consciousness, he felt discomfort coming from everywhere in his body.

"Ah, it hurts!"

After baring his teeth for a while, Sitwell gave up his struggle and turned to look at the guy next to him wearing a quick reaction force uniform and a riot helmet.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It's not long, just over half an hour."

A familiar voice sounded. Sitwell was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"I didn't expect that the person who came to save me in the end was you."

Hearing this, the "quick reaction team member" chuckled, and then reached out to remove the helmet on his head, revealing the increasingly dangerous hairline underneath.

This man turned out to be Phil Coulson, a level 8 SHIELD agent who had been out of Hydra's sight for a long time!

"Now you owe me again."

Coulson took out an already empty alchemical potion bottle and shook it in front of Sitwell's eyes.

Sitwell naturally knew what kind of potion it was, and he also understood that in his previous situation, only Leni's Heaven Potion could save him.

"And us."

With a pleasant sound, the three remaining members of the rapid reaction force in the carriage also took off their anti-riot helmets, revealing their true appearance underneath.

They turned out to be Skye, Sif and Melinda from the investigation team!

It turned out that just half an hour ago, the Winter Soldier forcibly pulled him out of the car window, then took him from the viaduct on one side, spanning five lanes, and threw him to the opposite side. Driving outside the viaduct!

That was a full five lanes of distance, and there were trucks running on the road. It was a miracle that Sitwell was not hit and killed by the fast-moving traffic.

However, even so, Sitwell's injuries after falling from an elevated platform more than ten meters high were definitely not minor.

There is almost no good spot in the whole body. Apart from the fact that there is still life left, it can be said that there is more air coming in and less air coming out.

If Coulson and the others hadn't arrived in time and poured him a bottle of paradise potion immediately, he might not have been able to survive the rescuers who came to rescue him.

As for why Coulson and others suddenly appeared, it started more than an hour ago...

"Colson, we found Captain Rogers and the others!"

In the Airbus cabin, Fitz and others have been on the plane since this morning, searching for the location of Steve Rogers and others.

Originally, they thought that the two Steves would continue to pursue the Winter Soldier and trace his traces across the states.

Unexpectedly, the two men ran back to Washington, D.C., overnight, and "kidnapped" Agent Sitwell!

"Are they... interrogating?"

With the help of the ultra-high-definition imaging system carried by the Veronica satellite system, Fitz and others were able to clearly see Steve and the others on the roof of the building.

Then they discovered that there seemed to be a guy they didn't know among the people present.

However, the next second the person's information was retrieved by Veronica and displayed in front of everyone.

"Sam Wilson, once served in the U.S. Air Force Pararescue Team and executed the EXO-7 Falcon secret program?"

"What is the EXO-7 Falcon?"

Skye and Simmons were a little confused. When did the military come up with a Falcon plan?

And it was done under the nose of Skye, a super hacker who has read all military secrets.

However, Coulson was well-informed and could guess the general content of the plan after just one glance.

"It should be the flying device on his back. The bureau had secretly investigated this project before, but due to some accidents on the military side, the plan was completely stopped."

Coulson used his authority to retrieve a piece of information about the Falcon program that SHIELD had collected in the past and found a photo.

The above record is a photo of Sam Wilson and his teammate Riley when he served as a Falcon program pilot.

Without mentioning Riley's sacrifice to Skye and others, Coulson quickly retrieved a piece of information about the final disposition of the Falcon Project.

"It says that the last set of flight equipment was sealed at Fort Meade. Doesn't that mean that the reason why Steve and the others attacked Fort Meade was actually to get this set of equipment?"

Skye frowned, things were getting weirder.

For some unknown reason, the Bureau began to keep silent about Nick Fury's death. Even if Skye used some personal connections to inquire, she still couldn't get any effective clues.

Coupled with Coulson's deliberate concealment, Skye couldn't help but begin to wonder, had the Bureau completely isolated the people at Slingshot Base?

However, no matter what Skye's random thoughts here were, they were ordered by Coulson not to act without permission, and they could only passively stay in the aircraft warehouse doing nothing.

Di Ling Ling~

Suddenly, there was a cell phone notification tone in Colson's arms, and everyone turned their attention when they heard the sound.

Since yesterday, Coulson seemed to have been waiting for someone to call. Although he hid it very well, the frequency of checking his mobile phone that was far beyond the daily situation in the past still made everyone realize that something was wrong.

Coulson glanced at the people who were looking forward to it, and he naturally understood what they were thinking at the moment.

Therefore, he did not deliberately avoid them, and took out his mobile phone to read the contents.

【Sitwell will explain everything to you】

A short line of content that only mentions Sitwell's name, but the amount of information is not small.

Coulson couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, raised his face and cast his gaze on the holographic screen, his gaze firmly fixed on the little bald man in the screen...

"...Skye then found a target suspected of being the Winter Soldier through the satellite system, and he was following your car!

Skye thought the guy was dangerous, so he called Leni for instructions. However, the order he got was...save you. "

Colson looked at his old friend with a smile, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Ah, that's it..."

Sitwell laughed, not understanding what Coulson meant by his smiling words.

He is now a little confused about where Coulson belongs.

It turned out that both he and Mr. Pierce thought that Coulson would be a die-hard fan of Nick Fury, but they never thought that after the incident, this guy would pick himself off immediately and then make a fool of himself.

Coupled with Leni's relationship, Mr. Pierce has never taken action against the investigation team and the Slingshot Base.

Anyway, as long as the insight plan is successfully implemented, all obstacles will be in vain under the firepower of the space carrier.

"Let's go back to the plane first. We'll talk about the details later."

Seeing that Sitwell had no intention of continuing the conversation, Coulson did not continue to ask.

Instead, he secretly guarded against being run away by this guy, and then sent a message to the two Fitzs in the cab in front, asking them to lead everyone back to the Airbus at an accelerated speed.

……

At the same time, Steve and his group——

Using almost the same method as Coulson and others, Agent Maria Hill also rescued the three Steves under the eyes of a group of rapid reaction force members and Rumlow, and brought them to the rescue. It was brought to an abandoned reservoir that looked quite old. "Come with me, I will take you to meet someone first."

Agent Hill signaled Steve and the three people who were still in a daze to follow him, then pushed open the rusty fence door and walked in first.

When the three of them saw this, they looked at each other. At this point, they had no choice but to follow quickly.

Just as Steve and others expected, this reservoir had been abandoned for many years, and the footsteps of several people echoed in the long and narrow corridor, which sounded particularly deserted.

Hill, who was walking at the front, seemed determined to tell the truth and had no intention of explaining anything along the way.

But looking at her leisurely look, Natasha, who was thoughtful, guessed something.

Not only did she think back to some dead girl, because that guy had pulled a similar trick on Coulson once, and had tricked all of them.

After a while, everyone came to the end of the corridor and arrived at the huge factory building where the generator set was originally located in the reservoir.

As soon as they entered the door, Steve and others' eyes were attracted by a large number of various medical equipment.

Then he naturally turned his attention to the hospital bed placed in the center of the many medical equipment, as well as the man lying on the hospital bed at the moment.

"Ha~"

Seeing the man, Natasha couldn't help but sigh helplessly. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

But this also confirmed her previous guess that Nick Fury had indeed used this trick.

"Wellwellwell, you are here."

Struggling to stand up from the hospital bed, Nick Fury sat up from the hospital bed, and then looked at the three Steves with a playful expression.

"Is it tetrodotoxin?"

Steve is not a fool. At this point, how could he still not guess what kind of tricks Nick Fury had played before.

But the feeling of being deceived twice in a row by the same trick made Steve feel particularly unhappy.

"Strictly speaking, it should be considered a product of the combination of tetrodotoxin and some kind of strange sleep hormone."

Another voice sounded, and Steve and others heard it and went out, only to find that the person who spoke was the surgeon they had seen at the emergency center before!

"It's you?"

Hearing this, the doctor nodded to Steve as a greeting and smiled in an approachable manner.

"Sleep hormone, are you talking about..."

Keenly aware of a certain key point, Natasha interrupted Steve who was about to speak and asked first.

"As you might think, this part of the hormone was taken from the investigation team's Agent Fitz Simmons. The project code-named 'Frigga Bullet' was previously submitted."

Hearing this, a look of understanding suddenly appeared on Natasha's face. She didn't expect that this thing was actually made by those two people.

"As expected... Well, by the way, they are actually two people, although people often mistakenly think that they are one person."

"Oh? That's it. Thank you for reminding me."

"..."

Ignoring the two people's pleasantries, Steve simply turned his attention to Nick Fury again, walked to the bedside and carefully looked at the latter's current injuries.

"So, what's going on? Why did you hide it from even us?"

When Nick Fury heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth quite meaningfully and slowly uttered a sentence:

"Only the dead will not be killed."

"So you lied to Pierce and made them think you were dead?"

Steve could naturally understand the meaning of Nick Fury's words, but what he didn't understand was why this guy came specifically to find him in the end.

"Pierce is not that stupid. Of course he can think of things you can think of, so I had to act more realistically, so that even Leni thought I was really dead."

The biggest reason why Nick Fury still looks sick is here.

The new type of tetrodotoxin can indeed make his fake death look real, but Nick Fury still thinks it will be difficult for it to fool Leni's unique detection ability.

In order to cover up the truth that he faked his death, Nick Fury had to risk his own life and die in person.

In the process of evading the pursuit of the Winter Soldier, he indeed consumed all the alchemical potions in his body, resulting in Sharon Carter and Dr. Fine being unable to use the alchemical potions at all during the operation.

The intense situation in the operating room at that time was actually not staged at all, and Dr. Fine was really shocked by the serious injury that Nick Fury had when he was delivered.

If it hadn't been for Agent Hill's reminder, this suspended animation plan might have been aborted before it even started.

As for what happened after that, it was simple. After confirming that he had been judged dead by SHIELD, Nick Fury was finally able to observe the current situation of SHIELD from the perspective of a bystander.

"Father, like son……"

Natasha murmured:

"The reason why Colson took the initiative to leave Trident Headquarters was to get himself out of the vortex..."

"Not only that, he also brought the entire investigation team with him."

Nick Fury smiled playfully.

In his opinion, Coulson could think of jumping out of the vortex immediately.

But what he didn't expect was that Coulson actually roped in the investigation team right away.

"Investigation team?"

Sam, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted and asked.

Although it is not appropriate for him to speak as an outsider now, since he has already drained the muddy water, he will never be used as a weapon by others with his brows and brainlessness.

He could definitely trust Steve, but he didn't expect the one-eyed agent leader in front of him to tell the truth.

"Well, the team established under the leadership of Agents Leni and Coulson has been responsible for handling special incidents that are more difficult for the agents but do not require the Avengers to be dispatched."

Agent Hill explained it, but Sam's face turned strange when he heard the words.

"Leni? Doesn't that mean that those people in the investigation team may also be members of Hydra?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the factory area fell silent, and everyone's faces had a strange look on their faces.
