Chapter 232 Carol Returns

Bucky said helplessly, "To be honest, we may not be able to defeat Clint and his men with just a few of us."

"Now we have to worry about whether it's a trap?"

"Then why don't we go back to Europe and rest for a while, and let Coulson's agents continue to follow up on the investigation."

"Once we find out the identities of these people, we will consider how to save Clint and Daniel."

Coulson agreed with his face and said, "I think it's okay. It's better to be cautious. This is the most appropriate solution."

Captain America looked sad. If it were in the past, he would not have thought so much and would have just rushed forward with his shield.

But now, after so many deceptions, he said sincerely, "Then let's go back to Europe and rest for a while."

Then, Coulson took Captain America and Bucky on the Quinjet and returned to the European base.

Two months later.

When the New Year’s bell rings slowly, it means it is a new year again.

Two months have passed, and the world situation has changed dramatically.

The Skrulls completely occupied North and South America, but due to the Avengers' strict defense, they found it difficult to continue invading other continents.

This also makes war a normal occurrence.

In Australia and Africa, the Skrulls control the human armies under their command and launch continuous attacks.

European countries, as well as the Australian and African native armies, are all under the command of the Avengers to resist the invasion of the Skrulls.

Since the Skrulls occupied North America in November 2012, they began to invade other continents, and the war lasted for more than a month.

This racial war was even more brutal than the two world wars. Countless people died on the battlefield, but they were all humans, while the Skrulls suffered almost no losses.

Therefore, as the war continues, the Avengers are eager to find a new breakthrough.

If the war continues, Australia and Africa will be completely turned into a wasteland with serious nuclear pollution!
But the Skrulls are becoming more cautious, and leaders like Talos are increasingly elusive.

And if they lose the war, they will use nuclear weapons to destroy the armies of both sides.

This made the Avengers cautious. Sometimes, even if the enemy was defeated and victory was within their grasp, they did not dare to send their troops to pursue the victory.

This tricky situation caused headaches for the Avengers for a long time, until the New Year, when they finally saw a turning point.

2013年1月1日，欧洲时间早上9点12分。

The sky was an unusual gray-brown color, and the breeze made people feel a little tingling on their skin.

Nick Fury has recently received more and more feedback from field agents that their bodies are beginning to show signs of radiation sickness.

There was silence in the supervisor's office.

Except for Nick Fury, who was quietly reading the report on "The Impact of Nuclear Radiation on Human Health".

There was also Coulson, who stood expressionless, and a recently promoted Agent Montoya.

Agent Montoya is not a very experienced agent. He is a retired member of the Navy SEALs and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. three years ago.

Over the past three years, he has performed the best in many major crises and has made all the contributions and efforts.

So Fury promoted him to be one of the top executives of the Avengers.

Today is also Agent Montoya's first day on the job.

Therefore, he was eager to show off, and felt that the atmosphere was too heavy, so he broke the silence and said:

"Director, perhaps we can also develop into outer space. The environment on Earth is getting worse and worse. Why don't we take this opportunity to colonize other planets?"

The reason why Agent Montoya made this suggestion is because of the recent major moves by Umbrella.

From launching a heavy-lift rocket into space once a month in the beginning, it has now increased to once every three days.

Anyone can see that Umbrella Corporation is preparing to expand into space.

When Coulson heard Agent Montoya's suggestion, his face remained expressionless, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that this kid was too naive.

As expected, Nick Fury slammed the report on the desk in front of him, looked up and stared at Montoya coldly with his one eye.

"Do you think you're the only one who's smart? Humanity is almost doomed, and you're proposing to colonize other planets at this time. What will the people of the world who support us think?"

"Others will think that the Avengers want to escape and build a Noah's Ark to escape from the Earth. Then the Avengers will become the target of public criticism."

"In this difficult situation, if the Avengers don't show solidarity with the rest of the world, people will backfire."

"Can you afford the consequences?"

Montoya was scolded by Fury and quickly lowered his head, not daring to try to be smart anymore.

Seeing this, Nick Fury did not continue to scold him. Montoya's starting point was good, but he was too young and did not think things through.

The Avengers currently lacks people who can take on the important task, so the newly promoted Montoya can only make do.

Shaking his head, Nick Fury turned to ask Coulson: "It's been so long, and Scott still hasn't figured out how to make Pym particles?"

Coulson said with a serious face: "The main reason why Scott and his team have difficulty in making progress on their mission is that Hank Pym is too vigilant and has been uncooperative." "Even if Hope comes forward to persuade him, it is difficult to shake Hank Pym's attitude."

Nick Fury looked helpless: "So they are stuck? Can't they think of other ways?"

Coulson shook his head slightly and explained, "In fact, Scott and his team used countless methods."

"We used hypnosis to deceive, kidnapped Hope and interrogated him, presented facts and reasoned with him, and even tried to torture him in a virtual fantasy."

"But they couldn't pry open Hank Pym's mouth. He would rather die than surrender, and he was determined to conceal the method of making Pym particles."

Nick Fury got a headache after hearing this and quickly changed the subject.

"Have you found out the true identities of Clint and Daniel?"

Coulson replied: "I sent undercover agents to use detectors to check at close range, and Clint and the others are all human."

"We also found out that Clint had established an organization called Eagle Fist during this period."

"This organization has hundreds of super-powered warriors. Their strength cannot be underestimated."

Nick Fury frowned and asked, "Where do all these super soldiers come from? Is it the genetically modified serum sold by Umbrella?"

Coulson nodded. "Yes, the price of the genetically modified serum sold by Umbrella has been reduced several times."

"Currently, the price of a bottle of T-II serum is only fifty pounds of gold!"

"The price is so low that all the major powers in the world are buying up genetically modified serum in large quantities."

"To be honest, in terms of cost, Umbrella's genetically modified serum is not only cheaper than our modified serum, but also has a much higher success rate."

"From a certain perspective, instead of wasting a lot of resources on advancing Project Extremis, we might as well just purchase Umbrella's transformation serum."

Although what Coulson said was very pertinent, Nick Fury felt uncomfortable listening to it.

He was the first to propose the Extremis Plan.

Now saying that the Extremis Plan was a waste of resources, doesn't that mean he made another wrong decision?

But Fury is not the kind of person who is so stubborn that he won't listen to advice. He knows how to correct his mistakes.

After all, losing face is better than watching the Avengers' resources run out and the situation collapse.

He turned his attention to Montoya, the head of Project Extremis.

"Stop Project Extremis and buy the genetic modification serum from Umbrella instead."

"Super Warriors have now become an indispensable backbone force. The Avengers must have what others have, and we must have more than others!"

"The task of purchasing the serum is left to you, Agent Montoya. Remember, no bargaining or tricks!"

Nick Fury is worried that Montoya is too young and might try to be scheming and deliberately rob his fellow criminals, which might anger his protector, and that he will be finished.

When Montoya heard the instructions, he also understood the truth that the umbrella should not be provoked, and immediately promised:

"Don't worry, sir. I will make an honest deal with Umbrella."

After hearing the assurance, Nick Fury felt relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Go do it now."

Montoya responded respectfully and quickly turned and left the supervisor's office.

Nick Fury then looked at his confidant Coulson. Although he knew that there was little hope, he still asked with expectation: "Have space satellites detected any traces of Carol and the others recently?"

As expected, Coulson shook his head and said, "Sorry, space scans and deep space telescopes don't have any."

At this moment, Coulson paused and the ecstatic voices of his men came from the wireless headset.

Nick Fury frowned and asked, "Is there any more bad news?"

Coulson looked serious. After listening to his men's brief report, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Good news, Carol and the others are back!"

"Waterfa?" Nick Fury's face was full of disbelief.

At this time, near Saturn in the solar system, a huge warship thirty kilometers long rushed out from the jump point in an instant through a jump.

At this time, inside the battleship, there were not only Carol and a group of Avengers, but also thousands of colorful aliens.

They are all refugees from Sakaar. Some are innocent, while others were exiled to Sakaar for crimes.

But Carol rescued them all and even prepared to bring them back to Earth.

The vicissitudes of life in Tony Stark, looking at so many aliens with different skin colors around him, his face looked as if he had eaten shit.

"These guys probably haven't showered in a year. I'm almost suffocated by the stench in the spacecraft!"

Carol stared at the Valkyrie who was chatting with the stone man Korg and Mick and said:

"I didn't want to take them, but Valkyrie insisted on taking them back to Asgard. I just didn't object."

In the corner of the battleship, Thor and Loki, who was tied up tightly, seemed out of place with the others.

They were isolated by the Avengers.
