Chapter 171 The Captain's Kiba is Missing

At this moment, Du Mu's face had changed completely.

He had unruly medium-length hair, sharp eyes that seemed to have seen a lot in life, and a round face with a chubby chin.

That face belonged to Steve's long-lost best friend, James Barnes.

Nickname: Bucky!

Du Mu had seen Bucky's appearance at the Captain America Memorial Museum, and with the help of the newly unlocked character creation feature in the game system, he directly sculpted himself into Bucky's likeness.

No need to manually customize the character's appearance. The game system can automatically generate a complete model of any NPC that Du Mu has ever seen. The size and length of the model are exactly the same, whether it is visible or invisible, which is very convenient.

This function is quite similar to Mystique's Raven's ability. The only difference is that Raven can change her appearance anytime, anywhere, while Du Mu needs a one-hour cooldown period after each use.

Although Steve and Bucky were best buddies who had grown up together and often showered naked together, knowing exactly how many hairs were on each other's bodies, at this moment, he couldn't see any flaws in Bucky's demeanor.

From head to toe, every detail shows that this is the real Bakki, without a doubt!

"No, you are Bucky, I absolutely cannot mistake you!"

Steve's tone was very confident.

He knew Bucky better than anyone else. Even if someone could imitate Bucky's face, the subtle features imprinted on his body were difficult for outsiders to replicate.

For example, the faint scar on the other person's right wrist was exactly the same in shape and size as Bucky's, as were the mole on his neck, the shape of his eyebrows, the curve of his buttocks... all the details matched his memory of his best friend perfectly.

Unfortunately, the current situation is not right. If it were a bathhouse, he would be much more confident in making a judgment.

Du Mu shook his head and denied it: "No, no, no, I am Jiba, and Jiba is my twin brother."

Steve simply didn't believe those words.

Even identical twins cannot be this similar.

But he knew now was not the time to delve into that.

Steve took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Bucky... no, Keeba, whatever your reason for being here, hand over the files you stole right now!"

Steve was still able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

While he was thrilled that his best friend had come back to life, he knew that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified documents must not be leaked.

Besides, he didn't want Bucky to be wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D. because of this, which would make him no different from an international fugitive.

Since Bucky claims to be a twin brother, he'll go along with it. That way, Bucky will at least have a chance to clear his name later, and he can blame any problems on his so-called twin brother.

Steve went to great lengths for his best friend Bucky.

Don't even think about it!

Du Mu put his black mask back on, his eyes instantly turning icy cold, giving him the look of a heartless, cold-blooded killer.

"Don't push me, Kiba."

There was a hint of struggle in Steve's voice.

He was convinced that the person in front of him was Bucky, and he really didn't want to lay a hand on his best friend.

"You?"

Du Mu snorted coldly and casually tossed the shield he had just acquired aside: "Don't say I'm bullying you. Even if I were unarmed, you wouldn't be a match for me."

This shield isn't the zombie Captain America's shield; it's imbued with Steve's will, and its wielder is easily influenced and assimilated into Captain America. Du Mu didn't dare hold it for too long.

At this point, Steve knew that any further words would be futile; he could only resort to verbal sparring after defeating the man.

"Forgive me, Kiba."

Before he could finish speaking, Steve had already lunged forward, delivering a swift straight punch straight at Du Mu's face.

Du Mu remained calm and raised his right hand to block, while simultaneously sweeping out with his left leg.

To avoid revealing his identity, he did not use the Muay Thai warning technique, but instead used the most basic fighting skills.

As for how he acquired his basic fighting skills.

There's no need to guess, it's obviously from Kamar-Taj, the holy land of sorcerers!

The two men engaged in a fight in a control room filled with instruments, the muffled thuds of their fists and feet striking each other echoing throughout the room.

However, after a dozen or so rounds, Steve became increasingly alarmed.

Although Du Mu's fighting skills were not sophisticated, his physical strength was ridiculously strong. Steve only managed to withstand a few blows before his arms went numb from the enormous force and he could barely lift them.

Just now, Steve overwhelmed his opponent with his stats, but now Du Mu is using stats to overwhelm him instead.

It can only be said that karma is a cycle.

Of course, this is also why Du Mu did not use his full strength; otherwise, Steve's fate would not have been much better than that of the burly man.

Du Mu felt he had acted long enough, easily dodged Steve's "Friendship Punch," and then delivered a whip kick.

Bang!

Steve hastily raised his arms to block, but it was as if he had been hit head-on by a heavy truck. He flew backward and crashed heavily onto the control panel.

"This power... how is this possible!?"

Despite the excruciating pain in his arms and the tightness in his chest, Steve looked at Du Mu in disbelief.

This level of power far exceeded his own enhanced state by the Super Soldier Serum, yet the Bucky he knew was clearly just an ordinary person.

Du Mu gave a cold laugh: "Steve, you're not the only one who's been injected with the Super Soldier Serum."

"You also received the super soldier serum?"

Steve understood the implication in Du Mu's words and immediately realized what was going on.

No wonder Bucky's physical abilities are so strong; it turns out he was also injected with drugs to become a technological warrior.

"That's right!"

Du Mu nodded decisively, then said disdainfully, "You only received a few injections of super soldier serum; the dosage is far too low. My dosage is much higher than yours. You are no match for me!"

Steve's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

He was well aware of the power of the Super Soldier Serum.

Back then, I was just a greyhound who, after only a few injections, instantly transformed into a tall, muscular man with muscles all over his body.

It is said to be the pinnacle of human physical fitness, but in reality, it can leap across several stories high, run faster than a speeding car, and has the strength to tow a flying helicopter, completely transcending the realm of humanity.

If even someone like him could receive such an amazing boost, imagine how much more powerful Bucky, a well-trained elite soldier, would be. Moreover, he had been injected with an even larger dose of super soldier serum; the enhancement effect was simply unimaginable.

"No, the super soldier serum was clearly destroyed, how could there still be more than a dozen vials left?"

Steve suddenly realized something was wrong.

Decades ago, Dr. Erskine, who created the Super Soldier Serum, was shot and killed by Hydra spies who were lurking on the scene after he completed the modifications, and the formula for the Super Soldier Serum was lost.

The remaining super soldier serum was finally smashed to pieces right in front of him.

Where did the super soldier serum that the other side injected come from?

Du Mu said in a serious tone, "Steve, your intelligence is outdated. So many years have passed, and super soldier serum is no longer a rare commodity. In a little while, there might be super soldiers all over the streets, and even the dogs on the street have been injected with a few vials of super soldier serum."

Steve: ".

'

I feel like I've been insulted.

Just as Steve was struggling to get up, wanting to shout his classic line about fighting all day, a series of dense and orderly footsteps suddenly sounded outside. The SHIELD strike team had arrived.

Upon hearing the noise, Du Mu immediately turned to leave.

"etc!"

Steve endured the pain and tried to catch up, but as soon as he took a step, the excruciating pain in his ribs made him stagger and fall to his knees.

"Don't come looking for me, Steve."

Du Mu never looked back, only leaving behind a single sentence before disappearing into the night.

"Kibba! Don't go!"

Steve stared in the direction where Du Mu had disappeared and couldn't help but shout.

However, there was no response.

He slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and silently made a vow in his heart.

Kiba... Pshaw, Buggy!

No matter what happens to you, I will definitely bring you back!

The commando members who had just entered were completely bewildered.

They seemed to hear the captain shouting something like "Kiba, don't go," which sounded like it was about someone or something very important to the captain.

So, the captain's Kiba is gone now?

Mission "Lemuria Starship" settlement complete.

After Du Mu handed the USB drive to Nick Fury, he received a notification from the game system.

Nick Fury didn't try to hide it from Du Mu. In front of him, he inserted the USB drive into a special device. The screen immediately popped up a file reading screen, but soon displayed an access denied warning.

Next, Nick Fury tried several different protocols to crack the protocol, but he was still unable to access the satellite's launch files.

"There was definitely something wrong!"

Nick Fury said seriously, "This document has been encrypted with far more sophisticated encryption than usual. This is definitely not a security measure of S.H.I.E.L.D. Someone is deliberately hiding something and trying to tamper with Project Insight."

"The Insight Project must be delayed until the truth is uncovered. Whatever the mastermind behind this is plotting, we must not let their plans succeed!"

Nick Fury, being the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is naturally quite intelligent.

Although he was still unaware of who was behind it all, he judged from his years of experience that disrupting the other party's plans was the best course of action.

"That makes sense." Du Mu nodded.

He only needs to agree; using his brain is not something he should be doing.

"So, sir, what should we do now?"

Nick Fury rested his chin on his interlaced fingers: "Since the other side chose to tamper with Project Insight, they must have left traces. Agent Du Mu, you can follow this lead and maybe find the real mole within S.H.I.E.L.D."

Investigate the mole within the mole, and the hero investigate the hero – it's a very reliable method!

Du Mu nodded: "What if we still can't find it?"

Nick Fury said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I have two backup plans. I will find a trustworthy senior executive at S.H.I.E.L.D. to stop Project Insight from within and ensure that the mastermind's conspiracy cannot be carried out."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Sir, may I ask who this trustworthy high-ranking official from S.H.I.E.L.D. is?"

"Alexander Pierce, the first two directors of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Du Mu:

'

Let the mole investigate the mole, and let the mastermind stop the mastermind.

You've really got some guts, you black braised egg!

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that Pierce was the mastermind behind the sabotage of Project Insight. As Hydra's highest leader in S.H.I.E.L.D., who else could it be but him?

Du Mu could easily imagine the fascinating expression on Pierce's face when Nick Fury found him and asked him to stop Project Insight.

Nick Fury continued, "Pierce is a longtime friend of mine and has considerable influence within the World Council. If I can persuade him, the extension of Project Insight will be approved smoothly."

Seeing Nick Fury's confident demeanor, Du Mu's lips twitched slightly.

In his eyes, Nick Fury at this moment was like an old general on a stage, covered in flags.

Finally, Nick Fury solemnly instructed: "Agent Dumu, this matter is classified as top secret, and is only between you and me. Until we make a breakthrough, you must not let a third person know, understand?"

"clear!"

"That's how it is, sir."

Standing in Pierce's office, Du Mu said indignantly, "I never imagined that black bastard would go to such lengths to hijack a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite ship and steal its launch documents. He's simply the biggest parasite in our S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Yes, it was Du Mu who betrayed Nick Fury again.

After leaving Nick Fury's safe house, he went straight to Pierce's office and reported everything about Nick Fury to him.

Of course, he deleted the part about helping Nick Fury steal satellite launch documents, as it damaged his image of loyalty to Hydra.

Du Mu felt no remorse whatsoever for betraying Nick Fury.

Besides, rather than waiting for Nick Fury to find Pierce and self-destruct, it's better for him to preemptively sell Nick Fury out of the blue, at least he can continue to accumulate mission rewards.

Pierce's expression changed repeatedly as he listened to Du Mu's report.

His expression was particularly interesting when he heard that Nick Fury wanted to postpone the Insight Project.

"You're something else, Nick Fury."

It's unclear whether Pierce's words were an exclamation or a sarcasm.

He then composed himself and gave Du Mu an approving look: "Agent Du Mu, you did a great job. This intelligence is very timely and crucial to our next plan."

"It's what I should do."

Du Mu smiled modestly and asked curiously, "Sir, so did we really tamper with the Insight Project?"

"That's right!"

Pierce didn't hesitate and admitted it directly.

"Since you asked, I don't need to hide it from you. In fact, the Insight Project is a project that I have been secretly promoting."

Pierce explained, "On the surface, this plan is to prevent all detectable threats, but in reality, we've already replaced the system's core algorithm. Anyone who might hinder Hydra will be targeted for elimination!"

"Once the three carriers are in flight, the elimination plan will commence immediately. We will then eliminate all potential threats in a short period, clearing all obstacles for Hydra to establish a new world order!"
