Chapter 244 Hydra Infiltrator Captain America, Ordered to Investigate S.H.I.E.L.D. Infiltrator Nick Fury

Has Hydra been exposed?

And it was Steve, Captain America, who discovered it?

Du Mu raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "Then who does he suspect is a Hydra spy?"

Nick Fury hesitated for two seconds before replying, "It's me."

Du Mu: "???"

What the hell?

The most righteous former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the head of the secret service, was mistaken for a Hydra agent.

Du Mu suspected that other Hydra members might have been exposed.

But to everyone's surprise, the person Steve suspected was actually Nick Fury, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was hiding inside Hydra!

It took him a full few seconds to process the news before he asked curiously, "What exactly happened?"

"Do you remember before Project Insight, I hired a group of French pirates to hijack a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite ship?"

Nick Fury said seriously, "Steve was involved in the rescue operation and worked with the commandos to capture those French pirates. Those guys betrayed me on the spot."

Speaking of this, Nick Fury is about to swear.

Those French pirates had absolutely no professional ethics. When someone pointed a gun at them and asked them a few questions, they gave a French military salute and spilled everything they knew, much faster than the lowest record in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal security tests.

Nick Fury had seen countless mercenaries and pirates over the years, but he had never seen anyone defect so quickly.

Holy crap, I can't date anyone French anymore!

Nick Fury cursed under his breath and said in a deep voice, "Back then, Pierce was in charge of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D., and with Hydra's intelligence network, they quickly followed the clues and found out that I was the mastermind."

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Du Mu felt a little guilty.

It wasn't Hydra that tracked down Nick Fury; it was clearly him who betrayed Nick Fury.

He coughed lightly: "Hydra's intelligence capabilities are really powerful; they even managed to find out this."

"really."

Nick Fury had no doubts and continued, "Later, when I was attacked, Pierce took the opportunity to leak this information to Steve, making Steve mistakenly believe that I was a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D., thus diverting Steve's attention and making it easier to execute Project Insight."

"The worst part is that Steve took it seriously. He's been investigating a man named Kiba, and he suspects that Kiba is connected to me, so he agreed to help Pierce investigate me in secret."

Du Mu was taken aback: "You mean, Steve is Pierce's mole?"

"Uh, you can understand it that way."

"6

""

Du Mu was at a loss for words.

Captain America, a man of great stature, has become a Hydra agent, tasked with investigating Nick Fury, a S.H.I.E.L.D. mole within Hydra?

What an outrageous plot!

Pierce never mentioned this to Du Mu.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. For Pierce, it was just a casual move. Later, the Insight Plan failed, and he himself became Du Mu's henchman. Naturally, there was no need to report such a thing.

"That little rascal, I need to have a good talk with him when we get back. He had such a great story and didn't even tell me."

Du Mu was very dissatisfied.

If he had known there would be such an exciting plot, he would have definitely sent someone to track and record the whole thing.

As for what kind of trouble Steve might cause if he really found out about Hydra, Du Mu wasn't worried at all. Anyway, Nick Fury would take the blame if anything went wrong.

For him, as long as S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't disband, it's not a big problem.

On the other end of the phone, Nick Fury, seeing that Du Mu hadn't said anything for a long time, assumed that Du Mu was also shocked by the news, completely unaware that Du Mu had already planned to make him take the blame.

His tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Steve's actions were very covert. Even I only noticed it later. By the time I realized it, he had already found out quite a lot."

"Steve seems to have some clues pointing to Hydra now, and he suspects that I am the Hydra leader hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D."

In the past, Nick Fury would have simply told Steve the truth.

He hired the French pirates only to find the mole within S.H.I.E.L.D. and sabotage Project Insight. Pierce is the Hydra spy hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D. Don't listen to his nonsense.

The problem is that the Insight Project has long been cancelled, and even Pierce has been dealt with by Du Mu.

Furthermore, he took over all of Hydra's internal networks within S.H.I.E.L.D., becoming the true leader of Hydra.

Nick Fury is now in deep trouble and has no way to explain himself!

He couldn't very well tell Steve that he was actually a good person, and that he only became the head of Hydra out of necessity.

Not only Steve, but even Nick Fury himself didn't believe that.

I understand your situation.

Du Mu sensed the frustration in Nick Fury's words and immediately burst into laughter.

The process was completely wrong, but the conclusion was completely right.

This is something that no one can explain clearly.

Du Mu changed the subject, asking curiously, "But where did you get this information?"

Nick Fury didn't hide anything: "Steve told Natasha about it, and then Natasha told me."

"Natasha?"

Du Mu was a little surprised.

As a member of the Avengers and a teammate who had gone through life and death together, Natasha was naturally someone Steve could trust, and revealing such a secret to her was within reasonable limits.

The question is, why would Natasha betray Steve and leak the information to Nick Fury?

While Natasha is indeed Nick Fury's loyal henchman, she is also a principled superhero. On matters of principle, she should be able to distinguish her stance.

"Yes."

Nick Fury explained, "Hydra's influence within S.H.I.E.L.D. is too vast for me to keep an eye on alone. I was also worried that Hydra might get out of control and be exposed at any time. So, a long time ago, I told Natasha about the actual situation and asked her to cooperate with my operations in secret."

"Not only Natasha, but also Coulson, Hawkeye, May and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents already know about it and have participated in this operation. Their mission is to hide within Hydra, cooperate with me to monitor and control the situation, and at the same time cover up the truth to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from collapsing from within."

Du Mu: "

""

I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you're quite the player, aren't you!

With so many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents infiltrating Hydra, it's now clear that there are indeed a small number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents within Hydra!

Ironically, Nick Fury actually told this news to the real Hydra leader.

Du Mu secretly decided that he would have the Hydra spies pretend not to know anything and cooperate with these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to continue their act, infiltrating their undercover agents.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell Steve the truth beforehand?"

"Steve will not tolerate the existence of Hydra."

Fury answered directly.

Steve suffers from severe Hydra PTSD. If he knew that there were so many Hydra members inside S.H.I.E.L.D., he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. He would eradicate Hydra overnight and wouldn't care whether S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded.

Other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are different; they are not so opposed to using Hydra, after all, agents' moral bottom line has always been very flexible.

"So what are you planning to do now?"

Du Mu's face already showed an expression of enjoying the show.

He had to admit he was somewhat looking forward to how the story would unfold.

Will Nick Fury eliminate Steve Rogers, the Hydra agent, or will Steve defeat Nick Fury, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?

"I haven't thought of anything yet, so I wanted to ask for your advice."

Nick Fury knew that Du Mu had a lot of shady dealings, and even the idea of ​​replacing Pierce as the leader of Hydra was Du Mu's idea.

"Since you've put it that way, then I..."

'

Just as Du Mu was pondering whether to offer a reliable suggestion or simply add fuel to the fire, another call suddenly came in.

A glimpse of the caller ID revealed it to be Steve, the very person they were discussing.

"Wait, Steve is looking for me."

Du Mu quickly said something to Nick Fury and then answered the phone.

Steve's voice came through immediately: "Du Mu, I have something very important to discuss with you in person. Come to the coordinates I sent you as soon as possible. Remember, do not notify Nick Fury, and do not believe anything he says."

NPC Steve Rogers has given you a new quest.

[Mission: Steve Calls]

[Objective: Proceed to Steve's designated location and keep Nick Fury's whereabouts confidential.]

[Reward: 500 Experience Points, 1 Random Item]

"No problem! I'll be right there!"

Du Mu answered crisply and quickly switched back to Nick Fury's phone after hanging up.

Nick Fury asked curiously, "Du Mu, what does Steve want with you?"

Du Mu did not answer, but calmly said, "Sir, let's not contact each other anymore. I'm afraid Steve will misunderstand."

Nick Fury: "???"

The address Steve gave was for an ordinary residence in Brooklyn.

Du Mu arrived at the door, unlocked it with the master key, and as soon as he pushed the door open a crack, a fist came flying at him.

He easily blocked the fist with his hand and realized that the other person was Steve.

"Steve, that's a really unique way of greeting me."

Upon seeing that it was Du Mu, Steve immediately lowered his fist and said speechlessly, "Couldn't you have knocked first?"

No player would knock on the door.

Du Mu asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Steve glanced warily at the doorway and said in a low voice, "Let's go inside and talk."

[Quest Steve Calls] Completion

[Rewards: 500 experience points, one bucket of water]

[Item: A bucket of water (a full metal bucket; creatures falling into the water will not suffer fall damage)]

Du Mu followed Steve into the house, glancing around.

Besides Steve, there were two other people in the house: Natasha and a Black man.

"Let me introduce you. This is Sam, the owner of this house."

Steve introduced the black man to Du Mu, who nodded in acknowledgment.

[NPC: Sam Wilson]

Codename: Falcon

【Favourability: 0】

[Review: The Winter Soldier's sculpture, dislikes the left side, the flying locomotive, the second-generation Captain America, immune to Captain America's shield effect]

This person is the Falcon of this server.

Du Mu had seen his counterpart, the zombie falcon from the zombie universe, who was turned into the other's favorite fried chicken by a single grenade.

He smiled in response, then asked, "So, what's going on here? What's Natasha doing here?"

Steve's expression suddenly turned serious: "Du Mu, I have something very serious to tell you, but please don't panic."

.

Du Mu asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Steve took a deep breath and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Nick Fury is very likely Hydra!"

"What!?"

Du Mu's eyes widened instantly, his mouth slightly agape, as if he had been greatly shocked.

Unfortunately, his acting was too exaggerated, and even Natasha next to him couldn't help but turn her face away, unable to bear watching.

Steve, oblivious to the fact, nodded earnestly: "It's true. To be honest, the two previous directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce, once spoke to me privately and told me that Fury was a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D.

"At first I didn't believe it at all, but after investigating it myself these past few days, I've found that... Nick Fury does indeed have a lot of problems."

"For example?"

"For example, he repeatedly misappropriated S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operational funds, the total amount of which is astronomical!"

Du Mu:

'

""

Can you tell us something that most people don't know?

Steve continued, "Some time ago, he also hired a group of pirates to hijack a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite ship and secretly sent another person to copy the data on the satellite ship."

At this point, Steve's expression became somewhat complicated, probably thinking about Bucky... oh no, Bucky.

"Moreover, Nick Fury has also secretly promoted many dubious projects."

"For example, Project Pegasus, which researched the Tesseract and attempted to weaponize it, is almost identical to what Hydra, led by Red Skull, did back then. Moreover, it was because of his research project that Loki had the opportunity to invade Earth through the Tesseract."

"There's also the Tahiti Project. Based on the fragmented information I've gathered, it's an extremely cruel plan, orchestrated by Nick Fury."

"Besides that, there is also..."

"7

As Steve listed the points one by one, Du Mu nodded in agreement.

"Judging from what you're saying, this Black Lu Egg certainly doesn't seem like a good person, but does that mean he's Hydra?"

"There is more direct evidence."

Steve's expression turned solemn as he slowly said, "Pierce helped me secretly investigate Nick Fury, but he disappeared the very next day. However, according to my investigation, Pierce was targeted in an attack before he disappeared, and then he vanished without a trace."

""

"I suspected that the attack was related to Nick Fury, so I followed that lead and eventually uncovered a top-secret project called Project Insight."

"So I also infiltrated the S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite ship to copy the data, and then invited Natasha to help decipher it. We followed the clues all the way to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s earliest data backup center."

"There we encountered Dr. Zola, a Hydra scientist who was recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. in the last century. His consciousness was uploaded to an antique computer and has been running in that underground chamber ever since."

"He told us that Project Insight was a conspiracy orchestrated by Hydra to eliminate all enemies that stood in Hydra's way, but before we could ask for details, he suddenly activated the data self-destruct program, and the entire base was destroyed."

"However, we have now located the initiator of Project Insight."

"This man is Nick Fury!"
